OUR FORTIFICATIONS.
Steps should BE Taken to Provide
the Artillery Personnel With
Facilities For n System of
Drill and Target Practice.

Washington, Nov 2i.-The annua
report of the board of ordnance ant
fortihcations, just made public, sums
up conciscly very large amount oi
experimental work accomplished by
the board during the past year. a
general statement of what is needed
In the future is contained in the fol
lowing paragraph:
"T'he work of equipping our coast
Notifications is progressing rapidly,
and large portion of the new arma-
ment Is already installed. There is
imperative need for an adequate force
of trained artillerists to care for and
man the guns now mounted. The
board. therefore, deems it within its
province 10 invite the attention OF
congress to the necessity of reoryan-
ization and material increase Of the
artillery arm of the service.
"In this connection, also. the board
recommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast srtil-
lery personnel with suitable ranges
and other facilities for carrying out
each year a system of practical drill
and target practice with heavy guns
under conditions approximating those
of actual service.
"As the primary object of the tie
fenses is TO protect the harbors and
waterways along our coasts, the guns
are as rule so placed that target
firing with full service charges and
at the longer and more important
ranges can seldom take place with
out endangering the lives and dam
nping the property OF private citizens
This is particularly true in the case
,f fortifications defending the larger
,arbors. where there is shipping con-
,tantly within range, and where pri-
rate houses are in such close prox-
mity to the guns as to be seriously |
Affected by the shock.
AT least these practice ranges
,hould be proyided--one for the
Worth Atlantic. one for the South
tlantic and Gulf. and one for the
'acific coast"
