his time to the Improvement of naval
and military craftsmanship. Accord
ing to recent information. there are
some mighty poor shots In both

In the military rife competition
which is held every year in the Ma

There are not many large margins OF

greatly superior to the average.
Why is it. then, that In the spring
battle practice OF the vessels OF this
country the battleshlp Michigan scored
almost 100 points OF merit-9s.92s to
be hccurate-while the new Hamp-
shire at the opposite extreme, was
credited with only 1880 points. Why
should the gun crews OF one ship get
seven times as many credits as the
gunncrs of the other?
Tho North Dakota. the ship stand
ing next to the Michigan. was % points
! behind. and no less than twelve BAT
tleships fell below so points on the
same scale which gave the Michigan
| almost 100. What, is the matter?
What explanation is there for such a
discrepancy In efficiency? There must
be something wrong with the snperiors,
not with the members Of the gun
crew
II the truth were known, we be-
lieve that there are great many
artillery officers in the army who are

would reveal discrepancies between
