Of greatly reducing the average Of the

tion Of the army following the war
every effort has been made 10 stimu-
late interest iu marksmanship and the
result Is that today the average Is
probably as high II not higher. than
ID was az the beginning ~ the war
The figures laid before the president
that elected his approval showed that
IN 1908 there were in the whole army
IS expert rlhemen. sn sharpshooters
and 800 marksmen, as the various
grades are known technically. In the

record stood 500 expert rinemen. ASH
