HELPING THE GUNNERS,
New Departure to Be introduced In

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, May ID, 1905.
A new departure will be made shortly in
connection with the Royal Garrison ArriI-
lery, the object of which Is to give fortress
gunners a better knowledge of naval gun
merry tactics
Both in naval and military circles it is
agreed that the man behind the gun in a
shore fort should know all about ship
and her gunnery. Up to the present how
ever, there has been practically no instruc-
ton on these lines.
A committee is to be appointed, consist
ing of naval and military officers to de-
eide the best means of imparting the
knowledge of naval gunnery to the artiI-
lerymen.
Among the suggestions to be considered
Is one proposing the amalgamation of the
royal garrison artillery and the royal ma
rine artillery. that ship and shore duty
should be given alternately to every man.
Another suggestion is that pensioned ma
val gunners should be employed as teach
ers in the forts.

make more progress if it showed a more
