impression is gaining ground, that
Notwithstanding the lessons taught by
the late Russian-Japanese war in re-
gard to the Importance of target prac-
terially cut down the appropriation fol
the navy, particularly the estimate fol
ammunition for target practice Toe
officers who have to do with naval
gunnery will enter an energetic pro-
test against any serious reduction o1
the appropriation, but it is doubtful
whether their protests will have much
effect.
1t is held in the navy department
that not too much money is expended
annually for target practice and thai
any economy practiced by means C1
reducing the powder charges in gur
firing will be a mistake. 1t is en-
phatically held that the only way &C
ascertain and protect against defects
is to fire guns as many times as pos.
sible in target practice, with the fu!
charge of powder. Moreover the mel
VINO fire the guns must be familiar
