can be shot is 45 degrees The dis tance from Fishers Island to Orient Point, L. l., is about I500 yards The big guns at Fort Terry, on Plum Is- land. command this sweep of wa ter, but by increasing the maxi mum at which the big guns on Fish, CTS Island may be discharged in CO., operation with the Fort Terry ord- nance a more effective control of this area can be created.
 The extreme effective range of the guns as now mounted is not more than 12,0o0 yards, but they have rarely been fired at such a great range. The Germans. however, in the prosecution of their warfare in the western theatre have developed long range firing to hitherto unheard of lengths. Some of these long range guns are believed to have been origin ally designed for use on battleships, enemy naval forces, 1t is imperative that the United States to keep abreast of the march of events in Europe, must increase the range of its coast defense guns.
 Another lesson learned from the war in Europe has brought the mortar back into favor here. Mortars are the deans of all big guns.
 According to Captain Clark, the de- velopment and operation of the sub marine mine field that comprises prac- tically all the waters in this vicinity. is second in importance, not even to the development and operation of the big guns. The secret of the mine field and its operations is closely guarde dby the authorities.

Fishermen about the state complain that the frequent rains of the past month have spoiled their sport and made big catches out of the question on any of the lakes or ponds in this vicinity.
