Hefore the Kuropcan war opinion was absj- - \i\1' divided over the advisability of adopting 16 or H Inch rllles fur the latest type battleships. Hecause the smaller calibre kuii the Hatter tra Jectory for the name range many naval officers believed that more accurate shooting could be done Willi that weapon. The same argument wan threshed out at great length when the navy the 14 Inch gun In place of the 12 Inch. Such excellent records were made at target practice with the 12 Inch projectiles that many gunnery officers of the tlcot favored this weapon '\ preference to any other, The war In Europe brought about a decided change In the opinions of ord- - nance experts throughout the world, for the ltrltlsh 15 Inch and 1S.T, Inch guns accomplished wonders. vvheras no unusual results were demonstrated by the smaller calibre weapons. For oxam- - pie, naval officers here point out that the ltrltlsh battle cruiser Lion, equipped with eight 1.1. .\ Inch guns, began to de stroy the Herman cruiser Itluecher In the North Sea running light last year at the astonishing range of 16 miles.

MAY MA It THE HOLIDAY l'lght more deaths from Infantile paralysis, one In Manhattan nnd sevm In Brooklyn, were reported to the Health Department up 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. In the same twenty-fou- r prior to that time eighty new sum peeled cases were reported, but It w,i expected that not more than about sixty of them would turn out to bo true cases of the disease. Tho physicians of th department had not been able to deter mine the exact Increase, but the eftlmiiV nf s!tv uns ndvnnced bf Dr. si 1! Illattels of the Hoard of Health In llrooklyn. Tho virulence of the epidemic was Im- pressed upon the Health Department olli-cla- ts and outside physicians who have Joined with them to combat Its spread by tho discovery yesterday afternoon that two young women, one about 25 years old and the other several ears her senior, had developed Infantile paralysis In an unuoually severe form. The occurrence of the disease la adul'.s Is decidedly rare. Few uch cases are known to medical science. Thoe two were found In a .section of Fl.iOin.-- h already Infected with the disease, ami the condition of the victims was such that they were taken to the Kingston Avenue at once. More Stringent .Mrnsures. Dr William H. nuperlntend-en- t of the Heilth Department, nnd Dr. (ienrge 1,. Nicholas of the bureau of preventable diseases said last night that the Infection of the two women left no doubt of the seM'rlty and persistence of the pre, nt epidemic. With that fact Im pressed upon the Health Department iittlclaN and their assistants In private practice plans were drawn even mote stringent measures than those now In to check the disease. The special committee of medical experts ap- pointed by Health Commissioner Haven l.merson to help him will meet early this w,'ck to bring to bear uion the situation every means known to medical science to prevent the ravages of the disease experienced In l?a\ Accurate figure to shaw the Increase In the number of rases over night were not available at the Health Department yesterday, beiaue It was not possible to obtain reports that were believed to '\\ In the malls, Up to n late hour In !,\ \\\noon howe.er.

Hoth p1 slclans are ex- perts and they are Keeping In close touch with the situation here. It Is feared by oIHcIhIm of thn Stnte department that the disease will spread Into counties outlying the city. The disease has spread so easily and so rapldb within the city, espe- cially In Hrooklyli, that the State health olllclals bellexe It may be carried to those counties of the State which are easily nccesslble to New York by the thousands of commuters who pass back and forth every day.

Editorials Changed to Laat Page. The now retail price of Thk SUN is one cent in Greater New York, Jersey City nnd Ncwnrk. It is two cents everywhere else no more. Newsdenlers now buy Tun Sun nt the same price nt which they buy other New York one cent mornlnjr papers. It should be sold at the snme price. The editorial department of Tun Sun has been transferred from the middle to the last page. This chanpo greatly improves the makeup, enabling us to concentrate the news of the day in the front of tho paper, whero it should be. With the editorial page in the centre, this is im- possible with so much space necessarily allotted to de- partmental news such news as financial, sporting, real estate and miscellany altogether, say, six or more pages, nnd those pages should follow the news of the day in sequence. But there is another and very important reason for transferring Tin: Sun editorials to the back page. Obviously the best page in a newspaper is its first page. The next best space is the last page of the newspaper. Because it is the next best space Thk Sun editorials are entitled to it. Frank A. M u n s e v.
