Des Moines. July 3.-The report of
Col. Cooke, of Algoua. on the work done
by the teams of the Iowa National
Guard at the recent state shoot near
Cedar Rapids is strong Indictment of
the old Springfield rifles with which the
Iowa guard is equipped and endorse
ment of the regular army gun. 1t will
be recalled that for this shoot the guard
received forty krag -Jorgensens from
the government arsenal at Rock Island
and corporal was detailed TO attend
\ the shoot and give instruction in the use
of the krag- -Jorgensen guns The work
done by the Iowa guardsmen altho they
had not before used these improved
magazine weaons, showed that they
took to them readily and that the old
Flies which they have been using sew
eral years are comparatively worthless
4 In fact the inspector reports that in
4 some of the companies not more than
1 four of the Sprngfields are really fit for
use out of forty that have been issued
| TO company. Better scores We're made
with the krags at Cedar Rapids The
average with the krags was $40 per
cent and with the Springfields 45 per
cent, difference of 1919 per cent The
! difference at different distances is also
/ interesting. 1t shows as follows: Two
hundreds yards-Krags. 67.2 Spring
fields. 52.2. Thsee hundred yards-Krags.
