" Target Practice.

i. The results obtained at element
ary target practice this year differed
in no essential respects from those of
the past four or five years.
2. Although the officers and crews
nave diligently carried out the pre-
scribed training. drills and exercises,
no material improvement has been ap-
parent in the accuracy of our gunfire.
). More accurate instruments have
oeen supplied of late years and some
good ideas have been introduced. but
ASIDE from this it would seem as
though we had about reached the linz
1t or Improvement and accuracy under
our present methods
Boards have been appointed in
number of cases to investigate the low
scores made by some of the ships. but
the conclusions of the boards were un
satisfactory and have failed to locate
the causes of the low percentage of
hits. The general conclusion that low
scores were due to poor gun pointing
and lack of training has not been con-
vincing and seems to have been found
ed upon impression rather than ex-
act data

Backing for Contention.

This confidential document seems to

years ago
You will observe that in spite of
the various improvements and inven-
tions which ought to have enabled US
to keep pace with the world in eff

tinue unsatisfactory. Furthermore, in
a recent speech in New York. Admiral
E'iske, according to the press. pointed
out the fact that our gunners arc not
even attempting to equal the long

Twice I have asked You for the rec

you have refused. In q letter to me

Accused of Contempt of Court.

4 complaint against Ensign r. Bur-

by Ensign J. l.. McCrea with the
commandant of midshipmen. and to-
day forwarded to the court by that
officer. Burhen was charged with con-
tempt of court in attempting TO talk to
witness while the latter was Segre-
gated and under the guard of McCrea.
Burhen submitted written state
mcnt to the court in which he id he
had no intention of breaking any rule
of the court, but thought as a defend

any witness. The court stated that it
would announce its action upon the

was the distance specified in the press

same ship in 1911 of nineteen hits out
of twenty-seven shots under substan-
TALLY the same conditions. To this you
replied that the information cannot be
furnished consistently with the prac-

your unreadineSs to supply the bad
