the problem of hitting a target that is

However. the conscientious desire Of

Owing to the keen and growing rivalry

increasing number of trophies for marks

of the countless thousands of patriotic

this August gun play and little extra
attention will be focused upon it for the
reason that it Is the big fleets first shoot

the battleships have each year two inter

members of the present feet We're in
