CHILD LABOR AND

Gunners of Uncle Sam Have
Their Cousins Beaten
as To Records.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 9-For several
years past the navy department has
not regarded it as good policy to ac-
quaint foreign nations with the per-
f0rmances of the American naval gun
ners. 1t was felt that the publica
ton of a good record made by our
men would only serve to stimulate
the gunners of other nations to better
their own performances which in turn
would require additional effort on the
part of the American gunners to main.
tain their superiority.
By the publication recently of the
fact that during target practice of the
British channel feet in the presence
of King Edward, one gun made 19
hits in 81 shots, thereby earning a
decoration from the king, has natu
rally touched the pride of some of the
| American naval officers. They have
looked into the records of the Amer
lean gun pointers during the annual
target practice, just closed, and found
no reason to fear a comparison with
| the gunners of any other navy.
Taking some of the six-inch guns
in the Atlantic fleet, che gunner on
the armored cruiser Maryland made
eleven shots and eleven hits in one
minute. A gun on the battleship Ohio
was fired with a perfect score at the
rate of 1881 per minute. A siX-inch
gun Cd the battIesh1p Maine has a
record of perfect score at the rate OF
i10.41 per minute, and the battleShlp
! Missouri's best record was 1870 shots
per minute, each lodged in a target.
