RUSSIA AFTER AIMS LIKE THE

New Ambassador Tells Japanese Policy of New Government

TOYIO, June 7-T am immensely satisfied with conditions in Russia including Siberia" said Prof. Boris Bakhmetieff the new Russian Ambas- sador to the United States, on arriv- ing here. 'I think the new regime is carrying on the work of organiza- tion successfully and will soon be able to launch an offensive against the enemy"
 Prof. Bakhmeteff is at the head of special commission of 40 on it's way to the United States. He re- pudiates the idea that his country would make a separate peace. The reorganized' Provisional government of Russia. which had wisely incor- porated labor clements in it's mem bership, was devoting it's efforts to organizing the national life. he said, and especially to strengthening the army.

ly forward and swing freely from the hips.
 For another thing, sometimes they showed an apparently unbreakable desire to raise the cheek from the gun stock when the target appeared in flight. and of course continued to miss until they learned better.
 Other grave faults were inclination to hold too long on the target be fore firing, and flinehing. Without coaching, they would not easily out grow them, but with it rapid pro- gross is always made.
 Makes Study of Beginners
 I have found it interesting and useful to study the beginners from the human nature standpoint.
 For instance, supposing new man comes along. it may be good thing to just let him find his way around, so to speak and not give him too much attention.
 He gets a gun, and you see at once if he is familiar with it. If not, you will see him watching the other shooters This he will do eith- CT frankly and with manifest inter. est or out of the corner of his eye If the former you know you can go right ahead and tell him, and he will learn quickly; if the latter you must take your time, only suggest things, ask diplomatic questions and let him have the pleasure of finding it all out for himself
 By using trygun, the construc- tion and use of which has been de scribed in previous articles, we have the exact fit of each shooter, thus assuring proper gun is provided for use during instruction and also enabling him or her to obtain from any gunmaker precisely the fit in a gun-stock that it is necessary tc have to shoot well.
 But among all of the many begin ners I haven't found a single born crack shOt-nor one who could not learn.
The Alaska daily empire., 1917-06-07

Just as long as the earth revolves there will be people insisting that expert marksmen are born-not made My experience as manager of the Trapshooting School on the Million Dollar Pier, Atlantic City, N J., cause me to take the opposite view that marksmen are made-not born.
 l had great opportunity to study people last year at the trapshooting school and I got a lot of quiet amusement out of watching people who had never fired a gun, take to he sport like duck to water There was more fun still in coaching, ex- perienced shooters of the "50-50" class.
 Of course in the case of a raw beginner there may be need for but very little instruction or he may re- Iuire great deal; but at the worst 1t is simple, because he has formed no habits. Having by few simple ests determined eyesight presents 10 difficulty, and selecting a gun with a stock of shape to fit reas- onably well, then a little instruction handling the gun usually starts 1im breaking targets. The rest is l matter of refinement in gun fit ing, coaching and practice.
 Some Learn Faster Than Others
 Naturally, some beginners make progress faster than others. But it 8 not that one is endowed by ma.
 ure with better shooting ability than
 he other. but that he simply learns quicker and better.
 The most common of all faults and which most handicaps almost every beginner and every dub shooter, is a bad shooting position. This can be corrected. in most cases very easily by coaching
 Possession of gun which does not fit the shooter cannot be cor rectly called fault; rather it is a misfortune. The beginner in wing shooting knows nothing about select ing gun to fit him. And l usual ly find that the man who comes along and confesses to me that ht had some experience but is a pool shot has been handicapping himself with a misfit gun Generally he doesn't even know the dimensions o his gunstock..
 The Correct Position Reverting to the subject of posi- tion, the beginner and very ofter the dub shooter when taking up ; gun for the first time at the school would assume a decidedly strained position. holding the gun awkwardl! and balancing at the waist with hip thrust forward and shoulders back Naturally. they had to be taught t' stand firmly on both feet. lean slight

ON MONGOLIA IS
 INVESTIGATED Similar Occurrence May Never Happen Again
 within Twenty
 Years. REASON FOR ACCIDENT Investigation Results in Brass Type of Powder Cups To Be Replaced
 by a Substitute.
REASON FOR ACCIDENT

WASHINGTON, June ITO make impossible a repetition of the recent unprecedented action on the Ameri- can steamer Magnolia, in which two Red Cross nurses were killed. the brass type of powder cups used in American naval guns for a score of years is to be abandoned for wood pr fibre substitutes.
 In making public a report of special Investigating board, which ex- onerated the naval guard on the Mon goia and attributing the accident to an unexplainable deflection at right angles of a part of brass powder cup. Secretary Daniels an nounced that a similar tragedy might not occur" again in another 20 years, yet we do not propose to take the risk"
 Beyond saying that wooden disks, or possibly fiber mouth cups would be substituted for the brass ones, the Secretary did not reveal the plans of the ordnance officials.
 The special Board of Inquiry which was headed by Captain F. A. Wilner retired, found that the blame for the Mongolia accident apparently rested solely on the type of gun cup, the cups used being perfect and the gunners without fault
 Attached to the report was a state. ment by Rear Admiral Earle, Chief of Ordnance. emphasizing that the rhn nIl nf lot xl1x
 inspected, put on the Mongolia after the removal of all old ammunition responsible for previous accidents, and of type adopted by the navy after extensive research and hereto fore regarded as absolutely safe.
 "The findings of the experts" Sec. retary Daniels said, reached after painstaking deliberation, should end the confused conjecture that has complicated this sad and regrettable accident. No blame attached to Lieu tenant Seymour or the men of the gun crew. Neither shells nor guns were defective. No power could have forseen the peculiar boomerang of brass mouth cup, device in use in the navy for 20 years. A similar tragedy might not occur again in 20 years, yet we do not mean to take the risk. It is proposed to remove 1 all metal mouth cups and replace them with wooden disks or else de velop a fiber mouth cup if possible '
 The board held specifically that the nurses were elected in a posi- tion with reference to the gun which ordinarily would not have been con sidered dangerous. They were 175 feet aft of and 10 feet above the gun No responsibility for the ac
