Show Home-Made Guns and War Vessels. Washington, January 8. The House committee com-mittee on ordnance in its report says all the heavy guns needed for harbor defense and proposed war ships can be made in this country. Regarding the thirty war vessels, they say ten years will be required for their construction and equipment. The first vessel ves-sel cannot be completed in less than three years ; the second m five ; but the rest can be pushed rapidly. Many tools required will have to be purchased in Europe. The report favors League Island Navy Yard as the best place for building the vessels. |
