Admiral Sampson was informed today that the entire naval casualties from all causes during the war was only twenty. His reply, while it cannot be constructed as a reflection on the war department, points to the absence of causes which operate so disastrously to the army.

Our target practice in time of peace is carried out with as much care and precision as if we had the enemy constantly In sight. In the same way we are so accustomed to the distribution of supplies and the care of the sick from long training in peace that when war comes we are ready for anything.
