SHIPS RANGE IN ACTION.
The Hinge Destroycrs Rarely Seek an
Engagement at Less Than
Two Miles.

"The pictures in some OF the burnt
orange newspapers OF battleships in
action are about as funny as the Jap
anese idea OF perspective" said q naval
officer to Washington Star reporter.
These pictures represent the oppos-
ing ships blazing away at each other
with 13-inch rifles at range Of about
100 feet, and the artists certainly work
up the thing to make II look terrible
enough, In ali conscience. It's won

crews Of the opposing ships In the ac,

in engagements at close quarters in
the dnys Of the old 7o-gun frigates.
AS matter of fact, II either battle
ship in an engagement between vessels
Of to-day goes within such range of
another or anything like it. it would
simply be matter OF the first shot.
Que big shell delivered at such range
would leave only dsoris OF the struck
ship floating on the surface OF the
water.
Modern ships OF war are not devised
TO get within any such range Of each
other In action. The nearest that any
OF the opposing ships in the great ma
val battle on the Yalu got to each other
was tribe usder two miles. and what
one hattIcship can do TO another al
that range is something beyond calcu.

CONSCIENCE NOT THE CURE.

Out of Brooklyn has come voice of truth DR..
Cortland Meyers, a doctor of divinity, by the way
points out that the crying need of the the war
department and in the Philippines is conscience.
There has been suspicion that the article of con-
science being employed against the Taga insurgents
was about as unfit for the beef which found
its way to Cuba, but until DR.. Meyers lifted up his
voice had expressed the truth in just that way
The difficulty in overcoming the insurgents has been
charged to rainy weather, too few troops, too much
Otis and wide variety of other causes, but the
radical lack of conscience in the matter has not been
plainly stated.
All can agree with DR.. Meyers diagnosis but In
some quarters there will be hesitation in swallowing
his remedy. After securing his conscience and trans
porting it to the Orient the Brooklyn divine would
use it a weapon against the natives. He believes
the Tagas should be fought, but that the should
be waged conscientously. He does not explain his
method. So far as the public is aware there is no
of letting off large quantities of conscience
haphazard 1t cannot be loaded into thrteen-inch
stock of conscience could be accumulated along the
firing line at San FERNANDO, it is doubtful if enough
to worry Digger Indian could be loaded into all the

DR.. Meyers is entitled to credit for his discovery
to the trouble in the Philippines but when it comes
to applying a he will have to try again. For
that matter it is doubtful If the war department can
spare any Of the total stock of conscience it may be
able scrape together for in foreign lands In
