the longer ranges; initiation Of studies for the anti

creased strain upon personnel generally to msintsin
high standards Of training and appearance, and at the
same time to care for the valuable installations in their
charge.
With the issue Of G. o. %, ". ID. 1927, the missions
Of the coast artillery have been logically defined and
the embarrsssments to instruction and to preparation
Of training regulations removed. Responsibility for
heavy trench Sortars has been transferred to the field
artillery. leaving the coast artillery charged only with
the development and use Of weapons intended for fire
on moving targets naval or srl and Of the auxiliaries
necessary for control Of such fire.
Considering the various conditions coast artillery
organizations serve under in our overseas and CONT
mental garrisons, progress in training Of sill units dur
Ing the year has been praiseworthy.

GUN ELEVATION PROGRAM
 AGAIN BEFORE CONGRESS-
Argument Put Forth That WarShiD> Then Would Equal Any
 In Range.

Washington. March Gq) -- The discussed question of gun ele- walton again has been thrust to the front in congress with approval b, the house naval committee of an ap. propriation of s14,S00.00 for mod ernization of the battleships Pennsyl- vania and Arizona.
 Among other things. the money would be used to increase the ele- vation of the big turret guns on these vessels to 30 degrees, which, it Is said, would lenethen their firing
 range by 10000 yards and enable them to match tho shell radius ot any warship a7oat.
 Similar work on three other cap- ltal ships, the New Mexico, Mississ- ippi and Idaho. was disapproved by the committee, thereby marking the second time within a month that il has turned thumbs down on navy department recommendations First it endorsed project calling for the construction of only IS ships as against T proposed by Secretary Wilbur and yesterday it partially dis regarded a department request for s34,6Vo,hoo to modernize the five
 battleships.
 However, Representative Britten of Illinois ranking republican on the committee. said that if the lg&1
 naval conference under the Wash
 lngton arms treaty should not dis
 approve additional modernization.

Many Here Try New Hospital Method In Own Home
 Get Relief in Few Hours

A great many New Britain peo- ple-like Edw. w. Tyler, have learn d that 1t is no longer necessary to let a head or chest cold make a person feel miserable or cause fear of pneumonia. For hospital doc tors are accompanying a simple home treatment that brings sure relief--otten in a few hours.
 A severe cold had kept MT Tyler from business several days. When nothing seemed to help him he call d the clinic for advice, Doctors then recommended double strength doses of Cherry Pectoral--a highly concentrated mixture Of wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients which have relieved even the most extreme hospital cases.
 With the first swallow he felt the soothing, comforting, healing warmth, from his nose passages deep down into his chest. In few hours he felt iots better and slept well that night. In another day or so, doctors report, the cold was completely gone.

JEWISH REPUBLIC
 BEING ENV|SAGED
Colonization Scheme in Far
 Eastern Siberia

Moscow. March (UP)--An au- tonomous Jewish republic of nearly q million souls ill far eastern Siberia is envisagei in colonization being worked out.
 The plan is sufficiently concrete for government and Jewish organi- cations here to state that LOGO fam lilies probably will leave European Russia in May as the first contin- gent of 100000 families expected to settle in the Brisk -Beydjank district, on the Amur river.
 Three representatives of ''Gez- erd," the Jewish colonization con- 1nittee in Moscow are departing i'm mediately to make arrangements for the reception of the first group. They are NJ. Rashkes, Samuel Weizman and A. Robinson.
 The site of the ambitious coloni- zation undertaking lies along the center portion of the Amur, between that river and the Trans Siberian railroad, as far as the Manchur1an border. and about GOO miles from the Nladivostok border.
 The area measures S,650 square miles-larger than the entire Crimean peninsula. Its population now is only 25,ooo. As only Jews will be permitted to colonize the area, the problem of minority races which complicate colonization in some places will be practically obvi- Uted.
 Leaders of the calculations work emphasize that this new effort will not interfere with the development of other Jewish settlements, such as those-fn the Ukraine and Crimea.
 The Birsk- Beyd jank country forms part of the far eastern republic. at the extreme eastern edge Of Siberia. It consists in part of fertile prairie lands and in part of heavily forested mountain territory.
 According to official information the mountainous region is rich in copper. gold, lead and other mining resources.
 The JeNlSh republic, IT IT comes into being, therefore may be expect ed to develop some industry with its agriculture. The climate is described US temperate.
 A foreign bulletin, in discussing the project, refers to the site as a region which must in the future be- come autonomous" This hope has made interest in the idea among Jews in Russia especially keen.
