PRESIDENT LIKES MARKSMEN
Gratihed over showing Made
Army in Spite of New
Men.

WASHINGTON, July TN a letter
Acting Secretary oliver, President Ro,
Welt has expressed his qualification at
remarkable progress that is being ma
by the enlisted men OF the army in marks
manship Before the Spanish war the
American private soldier was admittedly
the finest shot in the world
The addition Of a large number of vol
uRteers had the effect of reducing the aver
age of the rihemen; but since the reor-
ganiEation following the great war every
effort has been made to stimulate interest
in craftsmanship, and the result is that
today the average is probably as high, II
not higher, than 1t was at the beginning
OF the war. The figures laid before the
president that elected his approval showed
that in 1903 there were In the whole army
IS expert rihemen, $40 sharpshooters and
600 marksmen. as the various grades are
known technically. In the following year
these figures had increased to 2A expert
rifiemen, 1,4S9 sharpshooters and 2,4S4
marksmen Now II is shown that last
year the record stood SOC expert rifiemen,
| s,su sharpshooters and 1896 marksmen.
General oliver attributed the Improvement
| in large part to the fact that congress has
/ allowed an increase OF pay OF So per month
I in the case OF expert rIiemen, 81 for sharp
| shooters and 81 for marksmen.

members Of the commission went to La

they went up the canal in launches. Today

The commission has discussed Informally
the problem of the canal entrance on the

ems is against a high lock at this point
and bases his opposition on the, results Of
the borings now being made. 1t Is be-
lieved the canal will be sea level from La
Boca to Mirafores. There may be, however,
an alternative proposition for 25-foot In
stead Of a 35-foot lock at La Boca, the lat
ter proposed by the mining engineers COM
mission. A flaw in the mechanism of the
lock, however, would bring danger Of flood
and might cause the inundation OF Panama
