YANKEE GUNNERS THE BEST

Washington dispatch to the Sun
says: Admiral Capps, chief Of the
Bureau Of Construction Of the Navy,
has just made before the Naval Affairs
Committee OF the house OF represen-
tatives a most interesting comparison
between the probable firing efficiency
Of the American battleship fleet and
the japanese battIcships.
Admiral Caps has been discussing
the great efficiency and rapidity that
the men on American battleships had
shown at their target practice. Then,
comparing the efficiency Of the Amer
lean gunners at target practice with
the most done by the Japanese gun
ners in the late war with Russia, he
said that it was worthy of note that
the maximum number of shots fired
from any 12-inch gun of the Japs'
fleet during the first days fighting at
the battle OF Tsushima has been as
stunned as only seventy-five, while an
authority, who states that his infOr-
nation is most reliable, says that for
Ity shots for each 12-inch gun was the
average.
AS the first days fighting lasted for
more than five hours. the average rate
Of fire. even assuming the gun fire to
have been interrupted for half the
time by smoke, haze or the maneuver-
ing Of the fleet. could not have ex-
ceeded one shot in two minutes on the
basis Of the maximum estimate of
shots fired and the little more than
one shot in four minutes. if we accept
las true information which is reported
to be accurate.
Recent target practice rates for the
12-inch guns in the United States
navy have approached one shot in
thirty seconds. or four times the max
imum rate reported for the Japs at
Tsushima. AS the possible rate of
fire Of the JapS' guns was at least one
shot per minute there were obviously
good reasons for a comparatively slow
rate of fire, reasons which will prob
ably always exist except with best
possible weather and target range
conditions
the marvellous rapidity of fire attain
ed at target practice can be wholly
duplicated in battle, but the COMPARE
son indicates that in spite of the un-
stinted praise that has been heaped
upon the Japs' navy until the mikados
head has apparently been turned, the
American gunners could have nothing
to fear.
