RULES OF FIRING
ARE TO BE REVISED

Washington.-Such erratic results
of field artillery practice have been
shown in the reports of commanding
officers that General Wood, chief of
staff, L. S. A., has recently ordered
what is practically a revision of the
rules of firing.
Officers in charge of guns are di-
rected to be more accurate In their
observations. So obviously incorrect
have been the reports turned in that
analysis Of the results by war depart
ment officials has been impossible.
Though inspection Of sights before
the beginning of target practice is
ordered, in order that defects in ad-
justment may be remedied before fir
ing is begun. Practice with unframed
enlisted men is forbidden. General
Wood directs that the inexperienced
members of a gun crew to be taught
their duties in practice without ac-
tual firing.
Officers must hereafter study ar
tillery probability tables, and learn
to apply them to the guns in use.
1t is hoped that with these added
precautions orderly results will be
obtained, from which conclusions as
to field artillery work can be drawn.
