BAD GUNNERY.
Shooting at Manila and Santiago as Bad
as Could Be.

In an article in McClure's Magazine
on The Fight for a New Navy" the au-
thor in telling of the strides made in
gunnery reviews the conditions that pre-
vailed in the Spanish war He says:
The Spanish war was won by two
naval victories-Manila and Santiago.
Naturally, the fame of the American
navy, and especially of it's gunnery,
famed across the world. AS a matter
of fact the shooting ut Manila and San
tiago was about as bad as possible. AT
Manila 80 per cent of the shots missed
at range of from 5000 to 1000 yards;
at Santiago-the chief battle of the war
at least 9S per cent. \ special com
mission of officers, which was appointed
to examine the wrecks of the Spanish
ships at Santiago, established this fact
officially. 1t reported that of $500 pro-
jectiles fired, only 123, or Is per cent,
had found a mark on the Spanish ships
Making every possible allowance for hits
which could not readily be seen upon
the wrecks, not one shot in fifty struck
its mark. The day of the battle was
clear. the sea smooth, the targests were
20 feet high and 200 feet long, and the
range was $500 yards. English gunners
at that time could have hit the Spanish
ships at least two out of every live
shots. Fortunately for us, the fact that
we were fighting Il thoroughly senie
power, whose ships had neither gunners
nor proper ammunition aboard. gave us
and undiSputed victory"

bucks outside of right tackle with
left tackle back.
"Twelve"-Right half cross
bucks outside of left tackle with
right tackle back.
The working signal must be
guarded. 1t may be the second
number called, as "(11-7) -9-S"
calls for play No. Z, which is full
back through right of center.
If the opposition suspects the
signals, the working number can
be changed to any position in the
series.
Another code, the basic princi-
pie of which is in common use, is
as follows:
In this diagram the men are
numbered. There are also num-
bers Is. IA, and 8, which show
point of attack. The point of at
tack will sometimes be the num-
Der of the player occupying the
position indicated, but in this in
stance represents the hole just
outside the player.
Suppose the left halfback is to
carry the ball between left guard
and left tackle, the signal is "12-
(10-5) A." The second number is
10, the number of the left half
back. The third, 8, that of the
left guard, and the play is outside
the man playing the position of
the third number given.
In the same way the signal
l"1S-(12-13)-6" directs the right
half to carry the ball around 10,
which is outside of the opposing
END.

Signals enable the captain to
transmit orders to the players in
terms unintelligible to the oppo-
nents. Numbers are best. The sys-
tenn must be simple. Complicated
signals mean a slow team. The
men must be drilled until the sig
mails are as well known as the al
phabet. As the quarter generally
gives the signals, he should orig
mate the play.
An easy set of signals is one
In which each play is numbered.
Let 'fiVe" and six" send the re-
spective halfbacks straight
through the line from their regu-
lar positions. Even numbers will
be plays on the left of center and
odd numbers plays on the right of
center. The reverse is just as
good, of course. The following
illustrates the use of this plan:
"Three"-Left half cross-bucks
outside right tackle.
-Four Right half cross-bucks
outside left tackle.
"Fiye''-Right half straight
ahead.
"Six"-Left half straight ahead.
"Seven''-Fullback bucks cen
ter on the right.
'.Eight" bucks Gen.
ter on the left.
"Nine"--Left tackle around
through right tackle from regu-
lar position.
Ten"-Right tackle around
through left tackle from regular
position.

public opinion are trending In that direc-
ton.
''The presence Of 1000 600 Germans IN
the United States Is a virtual guarantee
that the country will seek no offensive
action against that country. Similar resi-
dents here Of natives of other countries
will have the same effect In keeping down

Continuing, Justice Brewer said:

this country must keep watch to prevent
its people drifting into dreams Of empire
that can only lead to disaster. Many

and growing prosperity as an excuse for
building new navies and increasing stand
ing armies beyond the point where they
are still q mere guard and not a weapon
Of offense to be used in warning with

In conclusion Justice Brewer paid a
tribute to the women Of the nation. who,
he said. are ever for peace, and who, he
insists, will have q great influence in
warding of further wars. He insisted
also that the business and labor interests
Of the country are against war and pre-
dicted that the time would come when
