Of the gun-pointer, who follows the
taEget in his telescope, and of the
gun trainer, the man who swings
the turret right and left, always fol
lowing the target.
To return to the record made by
the Arkansas, the fact that the dis
lance was only 1900 yards com
pared with the range of six or seven
miles, in the case of the regular
Winter battle practise tests, does
not in any way diminish the excel
lence of the score. 1t is a simple
matter TO demonstrate that the gun
ner who can hit target twelve feet
high at distance of a mile would
be able to hit a target 120 feet high
at distance of ten miles, provided
the charge was powerful enough TO
send it that distance, and in the
regular battle practise the larger tar
gets are used OF course, in firing
the greater distance, allowances
would have to be made for wind
velocity and other considerations,

the slightest deviation from what is
expected of even these minor opera
tives may directly or indirectly re
suit in reducing the efficiency of the
gun crews and spelling the general
result. Shooting straight on a bat
tleship is the work not merely of the
turret crew but of the whole ships
complement. They constitute a
single team.
Of course, the function of the
sight-setter is of the utmost impor-
lance. Unless he sets his sight ac-
curately, the gun-pointer's work
counts for nothing. The sight-set-
ter receives his directions from the
spoilers" of the fore-control party
stationed in the cage-like masts
which distinguish American battle
ships from those of other nations.
These spoilers" watch the splash,
or fan. of each shot and order an in
crease or decrease in the distance
for the shot which follows.
But equally important is the work

settled
For the purpose of target prac.is
special shells, known. as blind
shells, are used. A regular twelve
inch shell costs from 1925 to $3.50,
and a full charge of powder to fire
it costs about 1903. But the special
shell used for target practise costs
only $50 and the powder used to
send the shell distance of a mile
or so costs only little more than
800. To establish the worlds rec
ord cost. the Arkansas, by actual
computation, just $685.
The powder used for these tests,
while perfectly good for immediate
use, is of the kind which has about
lived its life and which would, with
in a few months, so deterioriate as
TO become worthless.

THREE years ago the gunners
on board the battleship New
Hampshire fired four twelve
inch shells at moving target six
miles distant and scored four hits
This feat was accomplished in one
minute and thirty-siX seconds. The
achievement was regarded as phe-
nomenal. 1t broke all previous rec
ordS Of our own gunners, and no
foreign gunner ever came anyway
near such a score.
A few weeks ago, during eiemen-
tary target practise off the Virginia
Capcs, the gunners on the dread
nOught Arkansas made an even more
remarkable record. Firing at NOV
ing target only twelve feet high and
twenty.one feet wide, the target
moving at the rate of five knots and
the battle8hip at ten knots, one of
the big tWelye-inch guns fired six
shots in fifty-seyen seconds and
scored six hits!
While the range was only a little
over d mile in contrast to the range
OF six miles in the case of the New
Hampshires previous record, the
target was proportionately smaller,
and the achievement of the Arkan-
sas' gunners is therefore regarded
as clearly establishing the world
record for rapid deepsea big gun
firing at a moving target.
The full significance of this feat
will be better understood when it is
remembered that the test was
started with the gun unloaded. At
a given signal shell and charge were
brought from below and served to
the gunners in the turrets, the guns
were served and trained on the tar
get, and when the range was de-
termined and the psychological mo-
ment for the discharge of the gun
arrived the word to fire was given
and the first shell was sent crash
ing at the moving target over mile
away.
Almost before it reached its goal,
the big gun, still reverberating from
the shock of the last discharge, was
loaded again with fresh charge of
powder and shell, again the distance
of the target, the velocity of the
wind and the various other factors
upon which accurate shooting de
pends were determined and the word
to fire was given a second time.
Again the shell sped true and found
its mark. Five times this feat was
repeated, and the total time which
elapsed from the moment the gun
was supplied with its ammunition
for the first shot until the sixth shot
VAS fired was less than a minute
to be exact, fifty-seven seconds!

Admits Fraud.

c. Edgar Shreve, a Camden lawyer,
on Friday retracted plea of not guilty
to charge of false pretense and entered
plea of non vult.
He purchased from the Nolney G.. Ben
nett Lumber Company SO worth of mer-
chandise, for which he gave a check for
$35 on the Burlington County National
Bank, of Medford. The check proved
worthless. The bill, however, was paid
on September 26 after the Indictment
had been found.
Prosecutor Kraft stated to the court
that Shreve was a member of the bar,
and had heretofore borne good reputa-
ton; that he came from good family;
that his father was at one time an hon
est member of the bar of this county
and state, and that his mother was very
estimable woman. Declaring that he
could not account for the moral lapse,
the prosecutor said that Shreve was add
dicted to drink or the use of narcotics.
After attorney Switzer, who represent
ed the accused lawyer, made plea for
clemency, Judge Boyle said that Shreve
was member of the bar and knew right
from wrong. He then placed the defend
ant in charge of the probation officer un-
til November Z, when sentence will be
imposed.

Annnumnl1s / efters

During the past week attention has
been called to two anonymous letters
which dealt with subjects that seemed
to need attention but which could not
be looked into unless there was some
thing definite on which to work.
One letter was addressed to Judge
Horner, and told him of matters con-
nected with the Browns Mills Hotel.
The Judge said the contents of the letter
indicated a state of affairs that certainly
should be investigated and if found to
be correct would justify him in refusing
license to the proprietor of the hotel.
Ihe other letter was sent to the Prose-
cutor of the Pleas. Mr.. Atkinson says
the complaint made in this epistle shows
that there is need of searching in
vestigatiOn of the subject referred to.
But he also says that he is powerless to
act unless he is given something sub
stantial on which to work. The letter
to the Prosecutor accuses him of not
doing his duty and neglecting his official
obligations. 1t was posted in the Mount
Holly post Office and was signed "A
member of the NJ. +. church.
The duty of these writer's is plain.
They should not skulk behind an anon
ymOus communication, but if they
know of things that are against law and
order they should act the part of good
citizens and aid the authorities in weed
ing out the offenders. In both of the
cases referred to the officials acknowledge
there is ample ground for action if
basis is given. The person who writes a
letter with charges of illegal actions in
it and then is afraid or ashamed to sign
a name is not entitled to much consider
alton. Judge Homer and Prosecutor
Atkinson will act promptly in both of
the cases mentioned if the writer's of the
letters will come forward and give their
names and acquaint the officials with
sufficient evidence on which to start an
and they will not feel
to make known the identity
of those who give the information. The |
Judge and Prosecutor are frequently in
possession of many facts that are used |
in the administration of justice, while |
the identity of the informant is never |
revealed. If the persons who wrote the |
two letters referred to here will come |
forward and let the authorities have the |
necessary information on which to work |
they will do infinitely more good than |
they will by wasting time writing |
which are not to be |
considered for the very reason that there |
is either fear to give the name Of the |
writer, or that there may be desire to |
carry out spite on some one with
out the moral courage to fight in the |
open. If the writers know of illegal |
acts let them make them known in the |
proper manner and thus act the part of |
good citizens.

Minute adopted by the officers and

special meeting held at the close of the
session on October r. 1913:
Rev. Richard h Baker having resigned the
pastorate OF this church and accepted a call
to Brooklyn n, n Y, will soon remove to that
city.
During his passionate he has been connected
with the Sunday school and in all ways en-
deavored to advance Its interests Being a
gifted singer, he has had charge OF the music
led the song service, and prepared and taught
the members Of this school for festivals and
special occasions. We feel that he has been
successful in developing and Strengthening
the school in singing songs of praise.
With his earnestness and winning manner
he has urged all to rely upon God and acce pl
Him and His mercies. Many of our scholars
have become members of the church through
his preaching and example.
While the church regrets his departure. II is
ntction with this body. We shall miss his
kindly words and manner, and his voice in
song
We trust that IN his new field OF labor he
may be able to do even more than he accom-
plished here Tor the Master, and will win
many persons to personal knowledge oil
