mended for Navy and Marine Com.
The joint board Of army. navy and ma
rine officers appointed to consider the aues-
uon OF the adoption of a uniform caliber
1or small arms and machine guns. and of a
standard and uniform small-arm cartridge
LOT the use of the army, navy and marine
CORPS today submitted its report. The
BOARD was composed of experts of high
standing in ordnance matters, as follows:
Colonel A Mordecai and Major S. E. Blunt
OF the ordnance department. United States
army; Captain George S Anderson. 9TH
Cavalry; Captain George F. Elliott, marine
corps and Prof. Philip r. Alger. United
States navy. The conclusions reached were
follows:
l. The board is of the opinion that there
are no conditions in the nature of the serv-
ice peculiar to the army, navy and marine
corps which require a different caliber for
their small arms and machine guns.
,. Since the hoard finds no sufficient rea-
son for a different caliber of small arms
and ma chine guns for the army, navy and
marine corps, the board is of the opinion
that the same caliber should he adopted for
those services, and since lnterchangeability
of ammunition is special advantage to be
gained by the of single cafber, a
standard and uniform cartridge to the ex-
tent of insuring interchangeability should
be adopted.
g. AS the board is of the opinion that
there should be but one calber of small
arms and ma chine guns for the army, navy
and marine corps, and great numbers of
satisfactory caliber thirty rifles are now in
the service in the army, are being manu-
featured at a considerable daily rate, after
large preliminary expenditures for plant,
and as, under the prospective enlarged
sphere of the army's action and possible in
crease in its number, it will require i'm
mediate additional supply of such arms,
the board is further of the opinion that
the retention of the caliber now in use is at
fore. under it's previous conclusions. it
should also be adopted for the army, navy
and marine corps.
The board, however, while recognizing the
desirability of a uniform caliber for both
services, does not deem 1t of vital import
ance, and Is OF the opinion that the change
of the navy caliber might well be postponed
until 1T has been definitely settled whether
or not It is advantageous to modify the
army cartridge by the use of a cannelured
instead of trimmed case.
4. In considering the standard cartridges,
the board recognizes that the cannelured
case is a suitable one for small arms and
machine guns, and that its in naval
weapons of these classes has been sattSfac-
tory; 1t is further of the opinion that IL
found practicable at moderate cost to adopt
the present army rifle to the use of such
case, q cartridge conforming in other eX-
ternal form and dimensions to the present
army cartridge should be adopted as the
standard and uniform small arm cartridge
for the army, navy and marine corps.

Live Oak, Florida" 1t had been a gift to
her in recognition of her herosm in saving
the lives of two children who were dragged

manner in which she administers all of her
business affairs. She will leave for Charles
perturbed lest she may not recover her
stolen jewelry.
While there Is nos even suspicion yet as
could have had a key to the door of Mrs.
Smiths room. This Is the only basis upon
which the detectives have to build their
theory. Mrs. Smith is willing to give a
handsome reward for the return of her jew
ery, though she has not yet named any
amount

No blame is attached to the management
of the hotel by Mrs. Smith. She does not
