1T is no longef possible to say
that the advertising of wood is not

because of lack of advertising, and

STRIDE IN EFFICIENCY
BY THE AMERICAN NAVY
Director of Gunnery Exercise Details
Improvement Before House
Naval Committee.

How the American navy has improved
its battle efficiency by great strides in
the last few years was detailed to the
House naval committee today by Capt
Charles P. Plunkett director of gun
merry exercises
But while there has been constant
improvement in many ways, he said,
much remains to be done.
The Atlantic fleet showed an i'm
provement of 20 per cent in target
practice last fall at the short range
firing, which is the only method of de-
termining individual efficiency
Points to Stumbling Block.
Target practice is SO per cent crew
and 1 per cent material" said Capt.
Plunkett, adding that the greatest
stumbling block for the navy lies in
the fact that 35 per cent of the officers
and men OF d ship are shifted each
year through expiration. of enlistments
or the necessity of filing vacancies
elsewhere.
Lack of a surplus of personnel on
which to draw to fill these vacancies
or to commission new ships. he said,
created this condition which made 1t
necessary TO begin all over again each
year in training gun crews.
To Fire at Longer Range.
IL was brought out that the navy is
preparing to work the guns of it's new
ships up to 10000 yards, although 49,
900 was considered maximum battle
range w to the outbreak of the Euro
pcan war. To spot the fire ut fifteen
miles kite balloons will be carried by
every battleship.
The Oklahoma and Nevada Will be
equipped in this way by next Febru-
ary when the spotting practice of the
feet will begin at Guantanamo.
European navies are known to be de-
veIoping this system of controlling
naval gunfire from captive balloons.

MILITARY RULE DECLARED
! IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
American Action Taken to Break
Local Deadlock and to Support
-- U. S. Interest Guaranty.

Capt. Fl. s. Knapp. commanding the
waters. has by proclamation declared
a military rule in the Dominican ke-
public in order, he says. to break the
deadlock in the local government and
carry ont the plans of the United
States to guarantee interest on the
public debt and other obligations. His
action was taken by direction of the
Navy Department. In a memorandum
on the subject, Secretary Daniels SAID
that the proclamation was Well re-
ceived' and that conditions In santo
Domingo are normal.
Capt. Knapp has reported that there
was no military clash and that tne
people seem to be satisfied with MS &C
ton. An order has been issued pfohlb.
itinE the carriage or possession of
arms and it is stated that payment OF
the salaries of government ofhcials
will be resumed immediately
1900 Marines to Maintain Order.
Eighteen hundred American marines
will maintain order for the present.
and, at least until elections are held
in January, their officers will supervise
the conduct of government by native
officials and disburse the customs
revenues which American receivers
have been collecting by treaty arrange
ment for nine years. Secretary Daniels
explained today that the form of rule
set up by Capt Knapp did not CON
template any infringement of the civil
rights or processes of native govern
ment.
Since the election of the new president
in Santo Domingo affairs have been i'll a
deadlock because the local government
refused to permit pay ment of obligations
which the United States had pledged it.
self to see fulfilled.
Affairs became SO involved, it was said
here that Capt. Knapp, acting under the
full authority with which he has been
clothed, decided to clear UP the situa-
ton by putting the island under mill
tary rule temporarily to preserve order
and carry out the local governments
obligations.
Upon the election of president by
the assembly TO be chosen in January
the United States will ask for the rati-
fication of a treaty similar TO that now
