PRACTICE, SPRING, 1916.

"The above figures are compiled
from letter written by Secretary
Daniels to the President of the United
States Senate on August IS, 1916.
L notice that the secretary states
that he intends to give the widest
publicity to the target practice made
this fall. The secretary is very
adroit gentleman. Until this moment
there has been no publicity of the
target practice scores made this
Spring. Let me tell you the nigger
in the wood-pile.' Spring target prac-
tice takes place at battle ranges, at
from seven to nine miles, sometimes a
little more, sometimes a little less.
Fall practice on the other hand is for
the purpose Of giving elementary
training, and is held at a range Of
about one mile. 1t is reported that
under those easy conditions the big
guns of our battleships last fall made
about 10 per cent Of hits I have no
exact figures however. The average
man, of course, does not realize the
difference between elementary prac-
tice and battle practice. / do not in
the least accuse Mr.. Daniels of pol
itics in the matter; but l can readily
understand that there would be no
loss Of votes if just before election he
were to publish scores showing that
the big guns of the American battle
ship fleet had made a record Of IS per
cent Of hits, especially if he failed to
point out that in the previous spring
ships had made only per cent hits.
l have read an alleged interview
with dear old Admiral Dewey at
some watering place or other AS
contrast to his alleged views, | cannot
refrain from quoting the report which
he himself signed as president of the
general board of the navy as recently
as November, 1913. 1t runs as fol-
lows The absence of any definite
naval policy on our part except in the
general board, and the failure of the
people, the Congress, and the execu-
tive government to recognize the ne
cessity for such a policy has already
placed us in a position of inferiority
which may lead to war; and this in
feriority is progressive and will con-
tinue to increase until the necessity
for a definite policy is recognized and
that policy put into operation
The fact is that the Admiral is a
gallant old sailor of some 79 years
and cannot be expected always to
agree with younger officers like Ad-
miral Winslow, Rear Admiral Fiske.

THE secretary does not deny that in
both Of the last two years in the mid

ally recommended to Congress that
we should cut in two the building pro-
gram recommended by the general
board Of the navy. He defends his

OF the navy have done the same or

Secretary Daniels rebuke concerning

target practice the battleship Nebras-
ka fired SO shots and the battleship
Michigan fired ~ shots without either
vessel hitting the screen target
single time. If Secretary Daniels can
deny that statement 1 will cheerfully

name. Here is the actual score of
shots and hits made by the Atlantic

CONG. GARDNER'S
TARGET PRACTICE
ON SEC'Y DANIELS
Scores 100 Per Cent. Hits and
Gives Prompt Answer to the
Naval Minister'S Query-The
Hallowell Rally

Hanowell Aug. 29. (SpeciaD-At a
,a,ly held here tonight. Congressman n
Gardner Of Massachusetts, made a
sneech Of which the key note was a
vote for Wilson is Vote for Dan
,els". The Congressman astounded
his hearers by declaring that in the
recent division target practice In Gu
han waters, the battleship Nebraska
fred So shots and the battleship Mich
igan fred 43 shots, without either ship
hitting the target single time.
Mr. Gardner offered to contribute
$500 to any charity which Secretary
Daniels might name, if that official
could deny the correctness of the
scores attributed by the Congressman
10 the batt!eships Michigan and Ne
braska.
He also expressed an opinion that
the target practice this fall might
show 10 per cent Of hits: but stated
that the range fred at would be about
a mile. instead of seven to nine miles.
which was the range VI lIliS ycdi .
spring practice.
In a recent speech at West Sullivan,
Congressman Gardner propounded Is
questions to Secretary Daniels to
which the secretary made a reply at
Waterville on Friday night, asking
the congressman a question in return.
Congressman Gardner answered this
question pleading not guilty to the In
dictment Of coWardice. He then pro-
coeded to specify a long list Of ques-
tions of his own which secretary
had either ignored or evaded.
In answer to Admiral DeWey's In
terview praising the efficiency Of the
navy under Secretary Daniels. Con-
gresham Gardner quoted from the
report of the general board Of the
navy signed by Admiral Dewey as
president of the board in November,
1914. In this report Admiral Dewey
,0ok exactly the opposite position.
Congressman Gardner's speech in part
was as follows:
1T isn't much good voting to build a
big navy if YOU are going to have sec
rctary of the navy who hasn't the eX-
ccutive ability to push the ship build
ing program to completion. You can't
expect our navy to be properly run, II
YOU have secretary who elbows out
the trained organization Of his prede-
cessor to make room for his own CO.
terie of favorite officers. No one
knows better than l that many OF the
navy officers in the department are
splendidly equipped for their position
and admirable officials in every way.
In that category I place Captain Z.
P. Plunkett. director of target prac-
tice, Notwithstanding the fact that he
is quoted by the secretary as severely
condemning my exposure of the target
practice scores. Unfortunately, along
side of good administrators like Cap
tain Plunkett, the secretary OF the
navy has surrounded himself with a
sort of Kitchen Cabinet, known to the
navy officers outside of Washington as
the victrolas, because Of their alacrlty
to catch the tone of their master
voice. If YOU are interested in the
navy of Your country, never forget

NO ALCOHOL ron WOMEN.

The minister Of the interior has il.
sued new regulations for the sale Of
alcohol throughout France.
The regulations forbid the sale Of
alcoholic drinks before II o'clock in
the morning and the sale to women
and minors under eighteen is forbid
den entirely.
The minister's circular allows the
projects to use certain amount Of
discretion in applying the regula-
tions. Thus women are allowed to
use alcohol at hours at which it may
be considered as an accessory to food.
They are still able to enjoy liquors
with coffee after dinner, a privilege
which they had been in danger Of
losing according to earlier versions
of the new regulations.

MANY CABINETS IN FRANCE

Forty-four years ago Louis
Adolphe Theirs became president Of
France, which nation formally en-.
tered upon its third experiment with
\ republican form of government.
Since then France has had nine pres.
idents and no less than forty-nine
ministries-even more if unsuccess-
full attempts to form cabinets are to
be counted. French politics has
been in a constant state of turmoil
and has been subject to kaleidoscope
changes; ministries rising and fall
ing with bewildering rapidity. When
M. Rene Viviani was called upon by
President Poincare to form new
cabinet few expected that he would
be successful where such political
veterans as Ribot and Doumergue
had failed. Not only did Viviani
bring order out of chaos which
threatened to engulf the Poincare
regime, but when the war began he
brought into his government the
leaders Of all the warning parties.

The Germans had counted so much,
