that the liquor traffic, and individual
indulgence in intoxicating liquors, lies
at the base Of . great majority OF the

FORT SINKS IMAGINARY

Batteries at Sandy Hook Prove
Power to Prevent Bonn
bardmcnt From Sea.

The Coast Artillery Corps down at
Fort Hancock. Sandy Hook. declared war
on an imaginary hostile fleet from over
seas on Friday Just to show what could
be done In a state OF actual warfare and
TO assure New York folk that their sky
scrapers would he safe.
And the batteries nj that fort the one
with which an attacking fleet would have
to reckon with first II It tried 10 abuse
Manhattan. proved their efficiency with a
vengeance.
Twelve shots from l2-inch mortars
were fred. six by daylight and six in
the blackness of IA cloudy night. The
targets, moving at the rate OF eight
miles an hour and approximately three
miles from shore. were hit ten times.
One shell well landed on the biggest
bat,leship from a i2-inch mortar Is sufii-
cient to ruin IL even for purposes OF SAL
wage.
So. as the game worked Itself out on
paper. II there had been a fleet OF twelve
men -ofwar trying to drop its shot and
shell In New York. ten OF them would
have been sunk or so badly crippled that
they could do no damage before they had
had chance to get within range of the
city.
As IL was there were only two targets
used. The efficiency OF the batteries,
however, could not have been better es-
tablished II there had been dozen tar
gets and all Of them trying to get past
the fort at the same time.
What Is more. the hits were clean hits,
which means that the targets-screens
thirty feet long and twenty. feet high
were actually struck The theory Of max
ing a hit Is that II the shell falls within
some thirty feet OF the small target the
imaginary battleship had been destroyed.
After the sun went down on Friday

marks the mathematicians In the plot

men,s to solve the problem of angles and
elevations necessary for the mortar.
! Everything was Just as it would be

1t was at O:4O O'Clock that the first
target was sighted ploughing omnously

Instantly the word of command was Is
sued by the officers In charge. In two
minutes the distance of the ship from the
battery and Its speed had been deter
mined the charge. huge shell weighing
lO4G pounds. had been moved from the
, ammunition room and placed IN the

had been plotted matht maticaly and the
mortar so adjusted. And Just as the two
