Sims. He stated that in addition to
the mathematical manner in which the
marines and sailors were shown to be
practically equal in craftsmanship, he
deprecated any attempt on the part of
any officers of the navy to belittle the
work done at the batteries by the ma
rines, as such work was always done
to the entire satifaetion of the navy.
He instanced the target practice of

not only won the naval trophy, but
showed themselves the best gunners in
the world. This seems to be, the most
important question which has been agi-
tated bv the navy.

be reduced on account of these factors.
Officers of the Marine Corps stated, in
their opinion the proper method of COM
parison was the record made by the sail
ors and marines at the same classes of
guns on the same vessels and at the
same time. By using the figures of
Commander Sims himself it was clearly
shown, marine officers insist, that in
many cases the marines at the guns are
vastly superior to the sailors and at
other times inferior, but on the whole

be regimental drill.
Marine Corps History
Many members of the House of Re-
representatives. who have considered the
wisdom and advisability of President
Roosevelt s recent executive order
under which marines were removed
from vessels of the navy have taken
exception to recent newspaper articles
rejecting upon the efficiency of marines
as ships gunners and to statements of
naval officers before the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs in relation to many
phases of the pending controversy, so
familiar to the public. Says the Wash
ington Post of January 81.
In the testimony given by Command
er Sims before the committee he stated
that if the marines were retained on
board ships it would be at a sacrifice
of 40 per cent efficiency, as shown by
the records at target practice, and that
the marines were to that extent inferior
to the enlisted men of the navy.
Figures Are Attacked
When officers of the Marine Corps
| were ON the stand it was shown by one
of them, Col. Lauchheimer, adiutant
and inspector, that the method pursued
by Commander Sims in arriving at his
percentage was unfair, as on certain
new ships the class of guns manned by
marines and sailors is different from the
guns on older ships, manned by marines
alone, thus giving the sailors the de-
cided advantage of using the telescope
sight as against the open sight used by
| the marines. The telescope sight is
| new invention, insuring greater ac-
| curacy
| Furthermore, Commander Sims, ma
/ rine officers claim. took into considera-
| ton only the various classes of guns.
no matter where fred or under what
! conditions, added the hits per gun per
minute and divided them by the number
| of guns. He admitted, on examination,
! that in this wav an advantage was
given the sailors because of the greater
| number of gun pointers from whom the
navy could select as compared with
| those from whom the Marine Corps
could select A modern ship has 600
blueiackets and only so marines.
| He further said that his percentage
| of inferiority of the marines should al
so have been considered in connection
with the fact that the sailor is at all
/ times available at the gun, for drill
and other purposes. whereas the marine,
! owing to his military duty, as sentry,
/ as orderly. etc. was not SO available.
He would not, however, state the
amount by which the 40 per cent should

made scores only 3 per cent less than
those of the sailors. In other words,
they were practically equal in marks
manship rather than inferior.
In this contention marine officers are
sustained by members of the House
naval committee.
Rear Admiral Ingersoll, who was pres
ent at this hearing as the representa-
! tive of the Navy Department and the
general board, stated to the committee
that the method pursued by the officers
of the Marine Corps in reaching their
conclusions was by far the fairer and
would give results which would more
accurately approximate actual condi-
tions than the procedure of Commander

Dispute as to Expenses.
Another feature which has been pre-

expenses for the substitution of sailors
for marines, concerning which there
has been much hot blood and wordy
argument. The first information ON
this subject furnished the committee
was that prepared by Lieut.. Col. Rich

woKK FOR coNcREss-ouR MgMBER


The Sixty-First session of congress
opened last week, and it promises to be
busy and strenuous meeting. There
are many problems Of public concern to
receive thoughtful and honest solution.
With the cooperation of President Taft
these matters should be, and doubtless
will be, rightly adjusted. On the open
ing day all of Wisconsin's delegation
gave expression to their purposes. Our
member, Mr.. Kopp, gave the following
interview:
There are many matters to come be-
fore congre ss this winter which will be
of vital Importance to the people of
our state. Concerning many of these
the sentiment is divided, for instance,
in my district the farmers all want a
parcel post while the merchants in
nearly every city and village are OPP
posed to it. Again, the people at large
desire postal savings banks, while the
bankers are opposed to the idea.
Personally am preparing bill which
shall introduce at the coming session
authorizing national banks to loan, at
least, Is per cent of their deposits on
approved real estate security. All of
| the national banks IL country districts
at present are prohibited from loaning
to the very persons who should natural
ly be their customers, j. e., the farm
ers. OF course, know that it is
claimed that real estate mortgages is
not convertible security, but ] be-
lieve if the amount is limited TO Is per
cent, that this line of securities will be
the best the bank can have. am also
interested in the question of federal aid
in the improvement of post roads which
means the improvement of our pubic
highways.
shall introduce bill at the coming
session of congress which believe will
] bring this matter up for discussion. |
can see no reason why so many millions
should be put into federal buildings and
other improvements of mail service in
cities, and nothing in the way of as
sistance to our farmers on the problem
of good highways. With national,
state, county and local assistance q
system can be evolved, which in very
| few years will make our highways the
best in the world. All in all think
we win have pretty lively session this
winter, but trust that there will not be
so much dissension in our party as to
| prevent needed legislation.
