Tremendous sums are annually eX-
pended in target practice by the navy
of this nation. The ultimate end
sought for in this sedulous training
aid costly expenditure is the acquir-
ing OF an ability to hit the enemy first,
| to hit rapidly and to hit hard.
1t is now realized that the Sea
fights of the future will open at ex-
tremely long ranges, say, five or six
miles. The fleet that first gets the
range said Rear Admiral Evans in a
recent interview, ''and is best handled
after the range is obtained, will un-
tloubtedly do such damage in the first
ten minutes as practically to disable
the opposing fleet"
All other fittings being equal, the in
itial advantage would therefore appear
to be the deciding one. The gaining of
| this advantage is now almost wholly
| dependent upon the observers station
| ed in the tops, the clear-eyed, cool
vantage determine the raLge, and, by
| the various systems Of fire control com

guns. With these salient points In
mind. the reader can clearly compre-
bend the vast Importance of an observ-
ing station sufficiently elevated for the
range finders to execute their mission
with precision and celebrity, and, more
! important still, station that can re
| main longest erect under the stress of
battle
| In recent notable test which was
conducted by the British Admiralty 1t
was found that the ordinary cylindri-
| cal steel mast with which all battle
ships are now fitted is wholly insult
| I'd for this purpose. The Hero, an OBJ
| solete battleship Of the second class,
was selected for the experiment. A
complete system of fire control was in
stalled in the old warrior, and then

| and attacked by the guns of the mod
arn first-class battleships Hibernia and

Navy has ascertained that the effect
of the gun fire upon every part of the
f1re control system located above the
protected deck was disastrous. A six
inch shell burst in the improyised fire
control top on the mast and carried
away the range-finding station in the
very beginning of the simulated COM
bat. Most significant and important
of all, splinter of shell-not di-
rect hit-went through the mast, and
although the mast stood, every Ole of
its fire control wires was severed
Thus was the most important prob
lem solved in the first two minutes.
Then was asked the question, wheth-
er the modern system of fire control
with its most important installation in
a cylindrical steel mast aid it's obser-
vatory placed at a high elevation upon
that mast could withstand for any
length of time the fire of a straight
shooting foe. 1t was realized at once

gained by the Japanese, who had con-

vessel was shot away almost at the
