TARGETS FOR THE ARMY
IN AEROPLANE' PRACTICE
Mimic Balloons Attached to Boz
Kites Objects Of Attack From
Coast Forts.

Targets for the aeroplane practice Of
the Atlantic fleet and the seacoast forts
during the August maneuvers will con-
sist of sheets of canvas shaped to simu-
late dirigible balloons and aeroplanes.
These will be suspended from batteries of
powerful box kites. just as large Ameri-
can flags are often carried hundreds of
feet in the air.
Army Rife First.
The present intention is to direct at
these targets nothing more formidable
than the army rife. the marines and
soldiers firing in squads. and a careful
record being made of the damage In
f1icted upon the targets. Some OF the
small three-inch boat guns may have a
try at the targets, but owing to the fact
that the guns cannot be elevated very
much they must do their shooting at
long range, while the targets are low
down upon the horizon.
Difficult to Adjust Sights.
The army ordnance bureau Is working
hard to perfect a gun that may be safely
elevated to shoot into the zenith, but
while a suitable carriage has been de-
vised. no practicable way has been found
to adjust the sights of such q gun be-
cause OF the variance In the trajectory OF
the projectile at the different elevations
