NAVYSHOWSSKLL | - INNIGHTGUNNERY Officers Highly Gratified at { Results of Practice in ¥ Guantanamo Bay. Evidence that the United States battle fleet is being maintained at its highest state of combat efficiency despite shortage of certain types of ships and inability to increase its gun range, is evidenced from the re- port of battle practice in tanamo ay, Cuba, made public today by the Navy Department. So effective was the work of the naval gunuers in the night battle practice that it was | rnecessary to change the program and allow a day for the repair of the rargets, which had been virtually wrecked as a result of the keen eyes of the officers and seamcn and the rapldity of their gun fire as the ships cruised over the range. After the crews of the ships had worked off some of their enthusiasm at the day battle practice, the com- petitive spirit was still keen when the fleet was taken out for the night practice. The targets were illuminated by star shells. When firing the starboard guns, there was a little falling off in the results, but the work of the gun crews was fast and accurate. The work of the men operating the pow- erful searchlights wa sald to have been most creditab Most of the shots on the second run were high, due, however, to an error in &potting, and not aitributable to the men who were actually manning the ®guns. The work is considered all the more creditable as it was the first night battle practice in which several of the officers and most of the en- listed personnel had ever participated. Those in charge were highly grati- fled. “When the last shell lost itself in the deep,” says a report from the battleshjp Arkansas, “we felt that our gunnery department had given an excellent account of itself and a creditable exhibition of its skill. However, not until the targets were examined did we learn that we had Tegistered the greatst numper of hits scored by any ship in the divi- sion. The inspiration and experience xained through these three practices of the wegk will undoubtedly go far toward preparing the Arkansas for putting over her long-range firing in 2 manner which will honor the ship and the service.” “Y” COMMITTEE NAMED. Group Will Work for Increase in Membership. The Y. M. C. A. executive committes appointed a permanent membership committee last night to visit members of the organization and bring into the body new members during the com- ing vear. Andrew H.

The committee will function through- out the year. SEES JAZZ OPERETTA. German Music Critic Expects This as Natural Development.
