BOARD OF ORDNANCE REPORT
Special Necessity for Reorganiza lion
and Increase of Artillery Arm
Of the Service.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-The an
nual report Of the board Of ordnance
and Notifications sums up conclsely a
large amount Of experimental work ac-
complished by the board during the past
year. A general statement OF what is
needed in the future is contained in the
following paragraph;
THE work Of equlpping our coast
f0Ftihcaticns rapidly and a large por-
tion Of the new armament 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 to invite the atten-
tion Of congress to the necessity Of re-
organization and material increase Of
the artillery arm Of the service"
I'm this connection the board also
recommends that steps be taken at an
early date to provide the coast artillery
personnel with suitable ranges and
other facilities for carrying out each
year system Of practical drill and tar
get practice with heavy guns under
conditions approximating those Of ac-
tual service.
"As the primary object Of the defen-
ces is to protect the harbors and water
ways along our coasts. the guns are
as rule so placed that a target firing
with full service charges and at the
longer and more important range can
seldom take place without endangering
the lives and damaging the property Of
private citizens. This is particularly
true in the case Of fortifications Defend
ing the larger harbors. where there is
shipping constantly within range and
where private homes are in such close
proximity to the guns as to be SER
iously affected by the shock. At least
three such practice ranges should be
provided-one for the north Atlantic.
one for the south Atlantic and gulf.
and one for the Pacific coast"
A reference to the rearming Of the ar
tlllery branch Of the service is the only
statement that can be construed as
having the slightest bearing ufon the
French gun secret. On the other hand.
to show that the United States service
has secrets of its own. the report refers
to important tests Of Professor Lang
ley's flying machine now in progress.
but in such general terms as to throw
no light on the results achieved in that
direction.
Realizing the Importance Of increas-
ing the rapid fire batteries for coast
defense purposes, the board has rec
commended the adoption Of pedestal
type Of barbette mount for four, five
and six-inch guns. 1t proposes a series
Of competitive tests during the coming
year, to obtain a new field gun, and ex-
presses the opinion that the United
States viii then secure for the use OF
its troops the most efficient material
Of its kind yet produced.
No progress was made during the
year In the development Of the use Of
high explosives. The estimates for ex-
perimental work during the coming
year aggregate 100000 and a majority
OF the board suggest a plan Of disburse-
ment by which either the bureaus OF
the war department or the board itself
as indicated by the secretary Of war.
shall control expenditures.

AMERICAN ART GALLERY.
The announcement that Francis How.

by a previous marriage. is representing
the leading artists In his visit to the
United States government to estab-
lish national art gallery appears to
be premature.
The DAILY Chronicle says:
HE has. 1t is true. asked Messrs.
Sargent and Whistler whether nat.
ional gallery had received their APP

reply. But there is no question OF an
agency and hardly one OF an advocacy

is likely that several Of these viii never

why London should suffer from lack
