A QUESTION OF ARMAMENT.


Washington. ID. c., Jan. 30. The
naval strategists who figured out the
batteries needed for ships of war now
say that the new scouts for which de.
signs are being made should be pro-
vided with armament. which will
give them some value in an engage
ment. 1t was intended that the
scouts should be lightly armed, it be-
ing the function of the ship to have
sufficient speed to elude an unfriendly
pursure. 1t was considered, therefore,
that 3-inoh guns, twelve on each-ship
would suffice to Iepel torpedo boats
which alone would be expected to over
take and attack the scouts. Now. it
seems, the scouts are to be equipped
with 5.inch guns, which. according
to some officers, would take the scout
out of its class, although placing it in
no other very distinctive and definite
class.

WANT BETTER ARMY QUARTERS


Washington, d. c., Jan. 80. Gen
eral +. S. Dodge. paymaster-general
of the Army, is anxious to have the
approval OF Congress for his applica-
tion for increasing the Communication
of quarters. He proposes to give a
second lieutenant one room, with an
additional room for each successive
grade. This will have the effect of
allowing the lieutenant general $l20 a
monh. This allowance applies to Off
GERS mostly on duty in large cities
where it is found impossible to obtain
quarters within the allowance au.
thorized. In the case of General
Chaffee, for instance, he has been pay
ing SO a month in addition to his au-
thorized Communication This allowance
was established many years ago before
the city rentals had reached their
present proportions and General Dodge
has beer agitating the question of in
crease for several years.

Because of an impression on the uaf
of many members of Congress that the
Government is spending too much
money for target practice it Is probable
that tae naval estimate for ammuni-
tion may be materially reduced at the
present session. Any step in that di-
rection will be vigorously resisted,
however, by those officers directly in
terested in naval gunnery. They hold
that it would be false ECONOMY to re-
duce the means OF target practice on
the ground that such practice at fire..
quent intervals is, the only way to
demonstrate the efficiency of the guns
and the gunners and to develop their
powers under service conditions. 1t is
held that the only way to ascertain
and guard against defects is to fire. the
guns as many times as possible in tar
get practice with the full powder
charge. The firing with the full charge
at the acceptance test only is held TO
be insucftiient, as there are later con-
ditions which must be demonstrated
and which can be determined only by
firing the guns with full charges. II
is declared that it would be great
mistake to cut down the appropriations
for naval ammunition, as it is reoog-
nized that proficiency in gunnery, q
prime necessity in warship, can be
secured only by frequent and syste.
matlo target practice.
