played their vital parts upon that
momentous occasion. and the State OF
Massachusetts is so situated upon our
seaboard that she could do with her
namesake what Oregon Is probably
going to do with hers.
The Indiana, stripped of her guns,
motive power and other valuable
equipment, can be left a defensive
hulk which may play a potently help
full part in promoting the battle eff

over the task which for some years
has been the function of the battle
target San Marcos. the erstwhile or
original Texas.
The San Marcos has been resting on
the waterbed of Chesapeake Bay
since she was assigned to the firing
range in those sheltered waters. She
is so battered up to-day that but
little of her remains to serve as an
instructive mark for our gunners.
She was put 10 that service for two
reasons: First. because she offered
to the gun pointers the actual features
Of a ship upon which to bring their
pieces to bear. a stimulating thing.

.HE recent announcement ot

THE recent announcement of
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Assis-
l. tant Secretary OF the Navy.
that the Navy Department had offered
the old battleship Oregon to the State
OF Oregon TO be maintained for his
torical purposes without expense to the
navy has renewed interest In the fam
Gus old sea fighter that broke all
naval tradition and records by her
race from San Francisco to Key West
In 1898. arriving in time to take her
place in the American battle feet and
do valiant service in the sea fight off
Santiago with Admiral Cervera's
Spanish fleet.
This plan for the disposal Of the old
ship. which long ago outlived her use
fulness as a fighting unit, has been
suggested several times to the Navy
Department by members OF Oregon's
Congressional delegation, and there is
no doubt Mr.. Roosevelt's offer will be
accepted and that the vessel will be
kept In one of Oregon's harbors as a
monument to the fighting qualities Of
the American feet and the resource
fulness and intrepidity of American
sailors.
This Is the second attempt that the
navy has made to get rid Of the Ore
gon. Some Ave or six years ago the
navy aroused a storm Of disapproval
by suggesting that inasmuch as there
was no longer any place for her as
a dghting vessel and so long as there
were not sufficient sailors to spare &c
keep her in commission she might as
well be taken out to sea to serve as a
target for the big guns of the newer
battleships. but the Oregon was
known and loved throughout the
United States because her famous race

mitted to know about, but there were
others which have been pretty we'll
guarded from common knowledge,
although It is doubtful II any foreign
naval attaches were kept long in
ignorance.
Even so, the old San Marcos has
served us well, and step by step we
have realized our defects and have
made the needful alterations or i'm
provements. Also that battered hulk
has inspired invention and led to a
number of valuable advances In the
naval art of attack and defence.
Clearly. then, We cannot afford to
rest upon what the San Marcos has
done for us. Military science is a rest
less one. and 1t is essential that we
keep abreast II not ahead Of the gen.
eral march Of progress. Therefore,
the San Marcos should be replaced by
a newer and larger target
Lessons Worth While.
Gathering away at the old San Mar
cos taught US much that was worth
while, and by reason of her we reached
very definite conclusions as to the
limitations OF the individual gun and
the necessity OF whole broadsides fred
simultaneously. Through our work
against the San Marcos We came to
appreciate the real function of the
salvo. and no one has brought this
out more clearly than Admiral Frank
Friday Fletcher. A while back when
appearing before the Committee on
Naval Affairs OF the House of Repre-
sentadves he said: All this target
practice has passed into what We may
term new phase, which has been
brought about by long range firing.
Heretofore we have considered that
when a gun Is well aimed at a bulls
eye II will strike the target because
the error Of the gun is so small that
any target OF reasonable size at a dis
lance OF a mile or two will catch all
we'll aimed shots. But we are now
going to such long ranges that the gun
will no longer hit the target; it will
not even hit a battleship at a distance
OF $4,000 or 10000 yards, no matter
how well aimed or how carefully the
ballistics are calculated. The way hits
are made Is by firing what we call a
salvo, l. e.. the firing OF all the guns
or part OF battery at the same time.
Due to the inherent defects of the
gun and ballistics. we cannot count
upon these four or Ave shots falling
within a space. at present, OF much
less than 400 yards. That is. 400
yards In the line of fire, not laterally,
for dispersion in that direction is SO
small that 1t may be neglected. The
error I am speaking Of is one of range.
Nov, II a target occupies a space OF
LOG yardS and you straddle that target
with a salvo you will see that the
probabilities or the chances Of making
hit are about rs per cent; so that
the best We can do to-day at target
practice Is to bunch the salvo Of five or
ten guns within a space Of 900 or 400
yards and then straddle the target
with that salvo and trust to the proba-
bility OF making hits. You will know
that YOU are straddling the target il
one or two OF these shots fall short,
which is easily determined by the
splash which the projectile makes

Gently at the New York Navy Yard.
the Oregon is hardly more than a toy
vessel. She is only s4S feet long,
while the Tennessee measures 624
from bow to stern.
The Oregon gained undying fame
by her race around South America
and up the coast to join the deet, but
as a matter Of fact her success In that
feat was due not so much to the fact
that she wes good boat, well de-
signed and solidly buiilt, although she
had been In commission but two years
then and was practically new, as It
was to the fact that she had typical
American naval crew and typical
American officers aboard. They got
out OF the boat the best that she had
and because OF their care of the boil
ers and their care In seeing that the
vessel was kept in tiptop condition
throughout the long voyage abe was
able to steam Immediately into the
battle line and make her fourteen
knots in battle formation as easily
as the other ships OF the fleet which
had not undergone such a severe test.
The Oregon was at Bremerton when
she received word to hasten around
the continent and join the American
fleet in Atlantic waters. War had not
been declared then, but in naval circles
1t was shown that armed conflict with
Spain was but few days away at the
most. The old vessel sailed for San
Francisco, and after coaling and put
ting aboard supplies. sailed from the
California port on the morning of
March 10. 1898. On the following
May 20, moro than two months later,
she steamed into Key West, having
covered 14,7o6.7 knots. The naval ex-
perts Of the day - were divided in
opinion as to the value the Oregon
would be TO the feet after making
such a strenuous voyage. Many q
them expressed the belief that the ves-
sci would be practically worthless as a
The sun., 1919-06-15

and, next. It was possible to check up
later just what were the physical
effects OF the attack. The ordinary
target Is essentially nothing more than
a means to developing accurate shoot
ing at a given mark and at predeter-
mined ranges, but the mere perfora-
tiofr Of the canvas screen quite fails
to tell what the projectile would do If
it encountered the different parts OF
an enemy battlecraft.
AS the naval expert knows no big
ship can be effectively halted by gum
fire unless her protecting armor be
pierced and projectiles, charged with
high explosives. break their way
through and into the vessels very
vitals. Therefore our gunners must
have a chance to blaze away at "a real
ship target under a one sided condi-
ton that pretty closely Stimulates the
circumstances OF actual conflict. Not
only that, but our ordnance engineers
must learn in this way Just how eff
cient are the projectiles which they
devise for smashing through a poten-
tial foes steel walled defences.
