"with mortar gun fire. The mortars
were located seven miles away behind
the high hills. A few days ago, when
Secretary of War Garrison visited the
coast defenaes of Puget Sound, one of
the mortar batteries fired at and bit a
moving target nine miles away. Tha tar
get was moving six miles an hour, and
high mountains stood between it and tha
battery. The projectile, weighing half a
ton, rose three and one-half miles In tha
air and pasaed over the mountains.
"When the coaat artillery troona ar

In the rear of the batteries. During the
first days the men are trained to handle
and drill with the big guns. Then sub
