COAST DEFENCE
GUNS 1890 TYPE
General Weaver Tells Need OF
10000 More Men-Medical
Stores Depleted.

Washington. Dec. 5.-Ten Thousand
more men and 504 more officers for
the coast artillery were declared neces-
sarv by Brigadier General +. NJ. WeaV-
or. chief of that service, who appeared
to-day before the House Military Al
fairs committee, considering the army
appropriation bill.

fence material in the world said Cen
eraI Weaver, "but l think 1T is not
efficient simply because of the lack OF
efficient men 10 manage the defences'
General Weaver said the necessity
of manning the coast defences IN
Hawaii. the Philippines and the Pana-
ma Canal Zone had depleted the avail
able force Of coast artillery troops in
the United States.
General Weaver said the guns now
on the coast defences were of pat
tern designed in 1890. He asserted,
however, that superior range finding
facilities, heavier projectiles and a
longer range which might be attained
by altering the present carriage would
rut the coast defence on equal terms
with any attacking fleet.
The supply OF ammunition on hand
was reasonably prudent" The depart
ments plans had not, so far, taken
into consideration in coast defence
work the great siege guns nov in use
in the European war.
Brigadier General Kingman, chief OF
engineers, and Brigadier General
Gorgas, surgeon general, discussed the
needs of their divisions. General Cor
gas urged appropriations to build up a
reserve of medical supplies. Operations
on the Texas border, he said, had de-
pleted the medical stores.

Training a Gun Crew.
lncessant practice is necessary not
merely that gun pointers may acquire
skill. For every 12-inch gun there
must be an organization Of at least
forty men, trained to the minute. One
shell only and one but one charge Of
powder can be in one tuIret at one
time. From the magazine, deep IN the
bowels of the ship, up through the
hoist and into the turret itself, one
hundred feet above. the crew must act
as one man. The business at hand IS
the saving Of even a quarter-second IN
firing time. And at last, after months
of work, months Of devotion and self
sacrifice by officers and crew alike
months OF tension, too, and of steadily
increasing efficiency and speed as the
day of target practice draws near

not take place? Has one failed or not!

To be done? Well. one simply does the
best in ones necessity. The tension
is a little let down; the short timers

preciable and corresponding loss in
ships efficiency.
Ships spirit is ships spirit. A met
tied crew will 90 TO their stations on
the double; a "disgusted" crew or a
mad" one will lag. There is drill

quency, and Of supreme importance, as
the naval disasters abroad have estab-

man has a specific job 70 do. Water
breakers are broken out, with food and
provisions for the entire crew. Life
preservers, ammunition and rifles are
also put in the boats, and all boats
arc then lowered away. The ships
company is TO leave ship in two loads,
a first, and then the boats return for
the second. And the essential SIM
plicity of this drill has been described
for the reason that within the last two

The efficiency that once characterized

Paris, Oct. 2,'s-The appeal of Con-
gresham Gardner of Massachusetts
for state Of preparedness for eventu-
alities in the United States has ex.
cited considerable comment here. Cab
riel Hanotaux, in an editorial in the
Figaro, says,
This speech indicates certain
evolution in America from two months
ago. Furthermore, private letters from
the United States show clearly that
80 per cent of American citizens favor
the allies. A similar situation exists
in South America.
Germany does not conceal its de-
sire to ruin England and dismember
France. The first result Of it's victory
would be the destruction of the Eng
lish fleet and the possession of one or
more French or English ports on the
Atlantic Then America would find
itself a maritime neighbor of the CO.
