probably Is the largest gunnery school
in the world is being established here
at the Great Lakes naval training sIa-
ton. The immense drill hall, where in
times of peace bluejackets were taught
infantry movements and h manual
Of arms, has been converted into an
arsenal and class room, and equipped
with every variety Of gun from old
magazine cannons to the newest auto
matte, designed to combat aircraft. In
this big hall for the next few months
will be found several hundred earnest
young men busily engaged in learning
the how, why, when and where of the
sea- fighting weapons.
It Is hard to convince these lads,
eager to get into aaction, that drawing
a picture of q n is necessary in
order that they may earn to discharge
the weapon. However, so anxious are
they to get a chance at h enemy
that they are working hard at every
task assigned them, whether it be put
ting a coat Of paint on the pedestal
of a 12-incher or listening to an ex-
PLANTATION of bore sighting, the use of
the telescope, how to get the range
or what not. +
Captain w. A. Moffett, commandant
of the station, has placed the school
In charge of, Ensign Roman and has
given Mr.. Roman as assistants and in
structors q number of chief gunners'
mates and first class gunners' mates,
who have distinguished themselves as
marksmen. AS a matter of fact it was
the work Of Mr.. Roman, and some OF
his corps of instructors in the Great
Lake school, that won for the United
States navy many Of the gun records
it already holds.
It is planned to turn out in excess of
1000 gunners' mates each year at the
Great Lakes school. AS the men are
graduated from the school, they will

So Declares Ambassador
Gerard in Stirring Ad-
dress at Helena.

"Prussian-Irish should see the Irish

Gil of defense and the Helena Com

tenant Governor w. w. Mcdowell and
Mayor r. R. Purcell were among the
speakers.
Mr.. Gerard paid his respects to the
pro-Gernan element in the United
States by asking:
Irish Refuse to Turn.
What do these people want. Do
they expect to share with Germany in
the conquest Of the field?"
The disposition Of some Irish in
America to favor the German cause,
brought forth the wish from the
speaker that such people could have
