American Army is Increasing Record
for Proficiency.
Washington, Juyl 8. - In letter to
Acting Secretary Oliver, President
Roosevelt has expressed his grati6ca-
ton at the remarkable progress that is
being made by the enlisted men OF the
army in Workmanship. Before the
Spanish war the American private sold
Ter was admittedly the finest shot in
the world. The addition Of the large
number Of volunteers had the effect of
greatly reducing the average Of the
riflemen. But since the reorganization
Of the army following the war, every
effort has been made to stimulate in
terest in Workmanship, and the result
is that today the average is probably
as high, If not higher, than it was at
the beginning of the war.
The figures laid before the president
that ELECTED his approval showed that
in 1908 there were, in the whole army,
5S expert rihemen, 1914 shsIpshooters
and 500 marksmen, as the various
grades are known technically. In the
following year these figures had in
creased to 264 expert rifemen, ASS
sharpshooters and 2,4S4 marksmen
Now it shown that last year the record
stood 500 expert rifiemen, 1871 sharp.
shooters and 3,S46 msrksmen. Gene
raj Oliver attributed the improvement
in large part to the fact that congress
has allowed an increase Of pay of s:
per month in the case Of expert rifle
men, 50 for sharpshooters and 81 TO
marksmen.

Plan To Be Tried With Largest Amer
lean Fleet Ever Assembled.
Washington, July 7. = Plans for ex-
tensive maneuvers of the North At
lantic flect are being matured by the
general navy board, in conjunction
with Rear Admiral Evans, command
ing the feet. Admiral Dewey. presi-
dent of the board, has sent Admiral
Evans a copy of the program Of the
maneuvers OF the French feet in the
Mediterranean. These maneuvers are
under command of Admiral Fournier,
who not long ago visited the United
States and was a guest of some OF our
naval officers. Before autumn, Ad-
miral Evans will have a feet OF IL
battleships, which will be the largest
feet of effective vessels ever assembled
at one time by the United States.
A new feature is to be introduced IN
the maneuvers this summer, and the
ships are to practice evolutions without
signals in order to meet emergencies IN
battle, when owing to smoke or when
signal apparatus has been shot away
signals cannot longer be given. While
it is regarded as somewhat hazardous
to maneuver big battleships without
signals, it is thought necessary to hav'
the officers familiar with this duty IL
case they are engaged in actual warfare
at some time in the future and a situa
ton should arise necessitating TIT
abandonment Of signals.
