The Dally Graphio this morning commences a, series of articles calling in question tho duration of the armament of a modern British fleet in a manner which, if tho facts should be substantiated, is calcu lated to cause a preat sensation. Tho writer alleges that 15 warships unfit for action have been discovered, as tho 3S-callber 12-inch guns constituting tho main armament of three vessels are In capable of firing full charges. The latest Woolwlph pattern 50 callber six-Inch gun has also failed under experiment, and the question naturally arises as to the endurance of the armament of the whole modern Hoot. The facts came to light through de-i, velopments of weakness in the new long raugo guns under experiment and simultaneous failure of tbe 12-lnch guns in the Majesty class of battleships and through the bursting of shells In seven out of 10 British-made guns on board of Japanese battleships.
