American bluejackets will be given
an opportunity to test their marks
manShip on real battleships steam
ing at full speed under actual bat
tie conditions if plans now being
worked out at the Navy Department
materialze. The bureau of ordnance
contemplates taking several obsolete
ships to the target range and using
them for targets moving at full speed.
There would. of course, be no crews
aboard the target ships. which would
be steered by an electric distant con-
troll" system. probably from an aero
plane or another vessel.
In this manner, it was pointed out
at the department. the battleships
could be maneuvered under conditions
approximating those of battle. Smoke
screens would be interposed between
the target and the fleet to simulate
destroyer smoke screen. Ordnance
officers believe the experiment VIII
provide the gunners with the most
valuable target practice system ever
used by any navy.
Heretofore no effort has been made
to use moving ships as targets. Some
years ago the old Texas. renamed
the San Marcos. was towed to Tangier
sound in Chesapeake bay and there
riddled with shells from the twelve
inch guns of the fleet. For several
years the wreckage of the old craft
was used as target so that lncom-
ing generations of tars could test
their eyesight through the telescope
sights of the big guns OF the meet.
A number of old battleships, con-
demned to the scrap heap or sale Tor
Junk are to be used as moving tar
gets under the departments plans.
Among them are the Iowa, lnulana
and Massachusetts. Several more or
the old ships may later be USED Tor

DRASTIC COAL RESTRICTIONS
BEGIN, DESPITE GOOD OUTLOOK

Drastic regulations for coal econ
omy were put in effect today by Fuel
Administrator Garfield. They are the
sharpest restrictions made since the
height of the war period in 1918. and
come in the face of an expected strike
settlement at a conference in Indian
apoliS this afternoon. Even if PreSl-
dent Wilson's proposals are accepted
by the miners and they go back to
work at once, it will be several weeks
before the nations normal fuel sup
ply can be restored and a fresh re-
serve started. Thus are the drastic
regulations considered an absolute ne
ceSSity.
Restrictions Announced.
The restrictions were announced
through the railroad administration as
follows:
No ornamental lights. white way or
other unnecessary street lights. outline

THE COST OF PENSIONS.

That the war Just ended will cost
the United States the vast sum of one
ltrillion, twenty-seven billion, nine
hundred and seventy-two millions dol
lars, 1912 ,000,0OO) if the preced-
ent of the Civil War is followed, is
the announcement of a statistician
who has figured the costs based on
what the Civil War cost the people OF
the United States UP to this time "and
the end is not yet"
The war just closed cost the Uni
ted States $23,363, 100000. The Civil
War cost the United States (the
North) $2,S0O,000,000. But pensions
and interest on the war debt have
swelled this to $500 200, 900 up to
this time. The figures, submitted by
Major c. Cotton, of the United States
army, show that pensions and claims
amounted to 51s times the original
cost of the war, and, multiplying the
cost Of the recent world war to the
United States, at the same ratio, would
give the alarming figures mentioned
above, more than a trillion and four
billion dollars above the cost of the
war at the time it was ended and the
army disbanded.
If pensions are to be made the basis
of trading for votes by politicians as
thew have been since the Civil War and
pensions to American soldiers are

Civil War soldiers, it will cost the

This tremendous sum is more than
four times the total wealth of the
United States at this time. But fiji
