NAVY SCORES ARMY GUNNERY
Commander Sims Report on Coast
Defense Work Starts a Storm.
Army Resents severe Criticism and
Technical Discussion OF Subject
Is About To Break

Much feeling is apparent in army and
navy circles over the question Of the
comparative merits Of the gunnery Of the
two branches Of the service.
That there IS q comparison Of the eff
cheney of the target practice Is now
pretty well known. Commander sims. di-
rector Of target practice for the navy.
and an enthusiast on that subject. went
to Fort Monroe some time ago 10 witness
the work Of the coast-defense gunners.
He prepared a written report Of his OBJ
servations, which was sent 10 Acting
Secretary Of the Navy Newberry. Il is
said that a number of copies Of the re-
port We're circulated among the navy
people. and that finally some of the army
people got 10 see the reports. They were
astonished to find that Mr. Sims had
gone into the question of the coast-de-
fense gUnnery in a critical way, and,
fguratively. had torn it all 10 pieces,
showing how ana where the navy gun
ners had It beaten a mile" That was
a great surprise TO the army officers, and
soon the matter was making a great SEN
sation in army circles.
It's bad enough" said an army officer.
without rubbing il in. The army Is the
unpopular branch of the service, but it
has not yet had TO get out moving pic
lures 70 gain recruits, nor has it had TO
belittle the navy To gain capital for itself
1 haven't much 10 say on the subject, but
we ought, at least to be entitled to our
fun credit for what We have done"
SO the statement made by Commander
Sims Is likely not 70 remain long unan-
sWcTed. The answer Is likely to deal with
difficult questions, such as ballistics, muz-
zle velocity, penetration of projectiles,
powder blending and other matters neces-
sary to be considered by gunners, but il
viii also poke a few holes in the mantle
of compiacency which now seems COM
pIetely TO enshroud the Navy Department
on the subject of its accomplishments
with the big guns. At any rate the dis
cussion is likely TO be a memorable one,
and out of it, perhaps, much good may
come for one and, perhaps, for both
branches of tbe service.
The army believes that the navy has
perfected its system. and it is fully per-
suaded that "ouT navy is the finest on
earth. but it is confident that it has a far
better system Of gunnery Of it's own.
