for the Macedonans? Are we face to face
with the extraordinary phenomenon of de-
mands Of humanity overcoming the realistic
policy so characteristic of our times?
Upon reflection. in fact, it would seem
that France has used the Macedonian ques-
tion as a welcome pretext to recover her
place as an Oriental Power and We must
again grow accustomed to her participa-
ton in affairs in Southeastern Europe;
which she has disregarded so long"
What Will be the influence Of this de-
velopment in the Eastern problem?" IS
asked. The Neue Freie Presse remarks
that it is serious to see England remaining
in the background and France assuming a
position in the center of the stage and as
suming it SO nolsily as to recall the time
twenty-six years ago when England began
a crusade against Bulgarian atrocities
and to give rise to the belief that France
is about to summon the world to join in
stopping Macedonian atrocities"
"a guarantee that such possibility will
not be realized Is found In the dual al
lance, strengthened in the present case by
the understanding existing between Austria
Hungary and Russia" adds the Neue Freie

Admiral Dewey highly commended the

exercise and target practice, diagrams and
reports OF target practice and maintenance
OF targets and ranges. The appropriation
for ammunition is sl.5G00JO and of this
100000 will probably be expended for tar

the amount appropriated last year.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Admiral Dewey does
not think the craftsmanship of the United
States Navy has deteriorated since the bat
tie of Manila Bay. but he does think that
the gun fire of other naval Powers has vast
ly improved since that time and that. there
fore. constant target practice with full

Aelieves that ''the only shots that count are
the ones that hit
President Roosevelt has made personal in
quiry as to the standard of craftsmanship
in the navy. He firmly advocates constant
target practice.
AT the time of the Spanish-American
war;" said Admiral Dewey to-day, Il be-
lieve the American Navy possessed perhaps
a higher standard of craftsmanship than
any other navy in the world. At that time
no country paid much attention to target
practice.
DUE TO ROOSEVELT.
"Our efficiency in this direction was due
to the action of Mr.. Roosevelt. then Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, in taking the
bull by the horns, dumfounding the Navy
Department by expending large sums for
constant gunnery practice. The result was
apparent
After the Spanish-American war foreign
Powers, astonished at our proficiency, inn
mediately began to pay more attention to
craftsmanship. Many new appliances for
working the guns were invented to excel
lent advantage The result has been that
the standard of target practice all over the
world has advanced
But the United States Navy has not in
creased the vigor of It's efforts for the i'm
provement of the gun fire to the same extent
that other nations have. In the Caribbean
this winter 1 found that the men had had
little actual target practice for a long time.
The necessity for 1t was apparent
''Subcaliber practice is not enough. The
men do not take the interest IN this make
