Individual Ship Practice.

The individual ship battle practice
Of the Michigan this year was fired
with reduced charges. so that her
equivalent range was greater than that
of 1911 by almost 1000 yards.
The division practice of the Michi-
gan was fired at about 600 yards
greater range than in 1911, but during
part of this years practice. In order
to simulate the possible exigencies of
battle, each turret was required to con-
troll its own fire, obtaining and keepln
the range in so doing, a condition which
practice.
In 1911 the Michigan stood one in
gunnery among the battleships, and
while the results OF this years practice
have not yet been completely comput-
ed, her standing will again probably
be high.
Il assure you that every effort is be-
ing made by those with whom the re-
sponsibility rests to maintain and inn
prove the gunnery Of our navy. and
the press. of information incomplete
and based on gossip and which tends
to discredit the navy hinders rather
than helps their efforts"
MI. Gardner Replies.
To this Mr.. Gardner replied fol-
lows. his letter being dated August Is:
Il am in receipt of your letter of
August 3, 1915, in which you COM
ment on the criticism of the navy's
target practice which 1 published in ar

If in any way l seemed unkind to the
L. S. S. Michigan I hasten to express my
regret. Certainly l intended no injus-
tice TO that vessel or to it's officers OF
to it's men.
,, I'm my criticism ! compared the
practice of the United States STEAMSHIP
Michigan in 1911 with the practice OF
, that same vessel in 1915. i told how
she had fallen from her record of nine
: teen hits out of twentyseven shots ir
1911 down to five hits out of twenty
seven shots in 1915, according to cur
rent 'mortifying gossip. You tell me
that the figures are not entirely cor
rect That is fact. The actual record
is even more alarming than I sup.
posed. ] find that this spring instead
of only firing twenty-seven shots the
Michigan fred no less than fifty-si2
shots, and out of that large number OF
shots made only five actual hits as al
lowed by the chief umpire who wit
