NAVY TRIES NIGHT WORK
North Atlantic Squadron Practices
Marksmanship,

Remarkable results have already
been obtained in the naval target prac-
tice now going on in Menemsha blight
The vessels of the North Atlantic
squadron in last springs target prac-
tice b. oke all the worlds records for
rapidity and accuracy of fire both with
big and little guns, but this was day
light work under favorable conditions
for good shooting.
The big ships are now doing some
extraordinary night shooting. The ex.
perience of the Russo-Japanese war
has convinced the general board that
in the future the great naval battles
may be fought at night and it is GER
tain that most of the torpedo work
will be done in the hours Of darkness
Hence it is believed to be essential
to develop the gun pointers at night
work and already surprising results
have been obtained in the practice in
the night. Using her eight inch guns
one of the battleships made eight hits
out OF nine shots at night. The target,
distant about mile, was Illuminated
by searchlight and the gunners used
special night sight. The ship from
which this shooting was done was forg-
ing ahead in the open sea at 10 knots.

A dozen Italians followed him and

Representations have been made by
the Chinese authorities to the Italian
