"Crlmlnal carelessness on the part
OF the unknown person who fired the
shot" Is the substance Of the verdict
OF the coroners jury ON the Camp
Compson tragedy The inquest pro-
ceedlngs were about as foolish as the
sham battle. There was no occasion
fu. either. II was known that poor Nell

was not known, or never win be known
who fired the fatal shot, The man who
did II is probably unconscious Of II.
and OF the several hundred who We're
firing guns that day there was no more
criminal carelessness on the part Of

sooner mcnded, The deplorable accident
has taught the folly OF these object les
sons In war; and II Is certain there
will be no more sham battles for some
time 70 come.-Telegram.
This is silly talk. 1t is true that
some culpabllity rests with General
compson but the blame Is not because
the battle was held. II is because Il
was not conducted scientifically or in
the manner that any military man
knowing his business would have con-
ducted it, The excellence Of the sham
battle, as an object lesson to the
young soldier who has never been un-
der nre, is an lndlsputable fact, ac-
knowlcdged By every military nation
on earth. But who, in the name Of
common sense, ever heard OF such an
affair US that In which young Nelson
