ACCURATE GUN FIRE.
Uncle Sans Jaekies Do Remarkable
Work at Practice.

washington, Sept 27.-A very mark
ed advance In the efficiency of p,,n
pointers, fire control parties and tor
pedo hre during both day and night
battle practice was shown in the recent
hianeuvers OF the Atlantic fleet OFF the
virginia capes, according TO prellmin-
ary reports to the navy department.
me system of training has been So
modified and perfected that gun point
ers have done remarkable work even
on ships which had but five or six
Gays training for the practice.
There was quite a wide range OF fir
ing, particularly at night ranges of
more than five miles distance with yes
sells under the full speed and the gun
ners ignorant OF the range and the
speed at which the targets were being
towed across the course. Sometimes
three vessels concentrated their fire on
the one target with destructive re-
suits.
There was special experiments at FIR
ing at passing targets. both day and
night and the wireless system was sub
jected to the tremendous disturbances
Of full broadsides.
The Delaware's attack upon the old
san Marcos was very instructive, and
when firing at artificial ranges of from
$4,000 to 10000 yards the gunners were
able to straddle the target at will al
though they did not know the range OF
the Delaware's changes of course.

ANENT DEER LICENSES.
Life Of the License Begins the Day
Il is Issued.


One of the most radical changes of
the new game laws lengthens the deer
season from twenty days 10 about sew
en- weeks. that is. from oct. Is until
Nov. 30. but each license expires TWEEN
ty-five days after 1t Is issued and can
not be renewed.
A county clerk under the new. law
mas the right to issue licenses in ad-
vance of the opening of the deer sea-
son. as has been customary in the past.
The attorney general is OF the opinion
that he may legally DO so. but as the
life of the license begins with the date
OF issue II is not likely that many
hunters will care TO take out their Ii
censes before oct. Is, the opening day
Of the season. on this point the at
torney general says:
"The statute seems to be clear and
specific. and while a license might be
issued prior to oct. 10, ii would only
permit the holder 10 hunt deer during
such period OF the open season as
would be covered by the first twenty
five days after the issuance Of the
licenses"
To illustrate: If hunter took out
his license oct. I, il would expire oct.
25, or ten days after the hunting son
son opened, the license being Of no
use whatever during the first fifteen
days after it's Issuance. Again, If
license were issued oct IS, il would
be valid only the first twenty-three
days Of toe hunting season. The IL
cense must be dated the day II is is
sued and its life begins at that mo-
ment, whether or not the season is
open.
This provision Of the law is likely
TO make more Of a rush at the county
clerks Office during the first few days
of the season than in the past, when
quite large number of licenses were
purchased before the season adopted.
However. the long open season with
comparatively short-lived license will
proba bly, result in many hunters watt
ing until the season Is some weeks
along before taking out license, as
November is usually better month
for deer hunting than october

TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES.
