After making remarkably good showing
in the rifle competitions that have taken
place during the season now almost gone.
the rifle team Of the District National Guard
added materially to its reputation on Sat
urday by the victory which it achieved
over the New Jersey state team. The nom
existence of a range upon which to practice
has been a serious drawback to the local
sharpshooters, but they have risen superior
to adverse circumstances and have elevated
their reputation to an altitude greater than
1t has hitherto occupied. Such competitions
as that which took place on Saturday at

may not be abandoned by its projectors
because Of the suspicious sneers Of the folks
who cannot credit 1t with being possible.
There Is skepticism to be met at every new
turn Of scientific thought and 1t Is not to be
doubted that there will be much scoffing at
the thought Of fighting battles with the
same toys that children use to draw metal
boats and swans and fishes to the edges of
wash bowls on rainy days. The tendency
of the age in matters pertaining to warfare
Is two fold: first to make war horrible and
disastrous, and, seco4d, to make 1t harm
less. The first must precede the second, for
as soon as the world learns that war is
hindrance to every phase Of national life,
the tendency will be to minimize it's de-
structivenesS. Just where the world is
today In this regard may never be known
until after the great European war, which
is acknowledged by most Continental
writer's to be inevitable. There will then
come a struggle between nations equipped
with the finest of murderous tools and the
most terrible of machines. That may mark
the climax of the struggle between the kill
ing and the sparing tendencies of nations
Then. maybe will come the military mag
net, to reduce the fatalities of warfare by
gently pulling ships out Of active service
and so rendering an enemy helpless. Be-
meath the apparently simple side of this
new question there is very important
subject.

essential This is a country of much litiga-
