MUSK[TRY FIRING
V[RSUSGUNPL
Interesting Tests to Be Made at
Monterey School to Settle
the Question
ESPECIAL Dispatch 10 The Call

-
WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Much inter-
est surrounds tests to be made at the
school of musketry at the Presidio of
Monterey, Cal, result of claims
of several experts that a platoon of
cavalry or infantry armed with the
service musket is more efficient so far
as firing is concerned, than machine
gun platoon. In the firings which have
hitherto been held the results are by
no means conclusive. With the facilities
existing at the school of musketry a
practical demonstration will be possible
under proper observation
Another question which has been sub
mitted to the officials of the school of
musketry requires experimental firings
to determine whether II is practicable
to use machine guns effectively over
troops on level ground. In some firings
of this sort in the Philippines the ques-
ton was raised.
The use of soldiers over whom to fire
in conducting the experiments will not
be necessary. An equivalent will be
used, consisting of screen of proper
height 200 feet long. which will permit
of the requirement of sufficiently ac-
curate data The machine gun platoon
of the army has developed into most
efficient adjunct. That of the Second
cavalry, organized and commanded by
Second Lieutenant Howard r. Smalley
of that regiment, holds the record for
quickly going into action. With the
guns packed on mules and the men
mounted the platoon went 90 varfs al
a gallop, unpacked the guns, put them
into action, repacked them and re-
turned to the starting place in the re-
