MEANS TARGET PRACTICE.

Under the capt ion Accurate Marks

discusses the sfrightful accuracy of the
Japanese gun FIRE that destroyed the
Russian feet and sees in it a strong
argument in favor of constant target
practice by the navy of this country.
In this connection the Picayune says:
Some criticism has been INDUCED In
both in and out of congress upon the
liberal expenditures by the navy in
target practice, and President Roose-
velt who Is the stanRehest advocate of
such practice, no matter how expen-

criticism. The sl,0ae ,00o spent an
