'een SO disked and spotted in the pits,
and so recorded on the score sheet and
and the following shot hav-
ing been fred before an objection was

father, adding that Dexter NJ. Ferry. the
millionaire see lsman, would oppose Gen

announced his acceptance of the candi-

He was candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor two years ago

Says District Riflernan
Took Their Share of
HonorS.
WON THREE FIRST PRIZES
Individual Contests Will Nearly Make
Up for Loss of Hilton and Interstate
Matches-Thinks New York Record
Will Stand Some Time.

| Major James E. Bell, inspector gen.
| Columbia National Guard, returned to
the city last night from the rife
matches at Sea Girt. n. j. Although
disappointed over the failure of the Dis
trict boys to win the Interstate and Hill
ton Trophy matches, he was elated over
the Districts victories, especially the
phenomenal score attained in the sl1ir-
mish team match.
THE team did itself proud in the
skirmish team match said Major Bell
''and the District Militia should feel
proud of it. We ought to have had that
Interstate match too The team got the
buck, or 'rattles, and went to pieces
on the 200-yard stage. We lost The
match right there. If the men had kept
their wits and held out as they have on
their own range the match would have
been ours by several points. At the
500-yard stage they attained the highest
score ever made. They did wonderfully
well. New Jersey was only eight points
ahead of us.
The Hilton trophy was lost. New
York won ii and did the work wonder
fully well. Why, we beat our own
score of last year. which was the rec
ord. and New York beat it this year Dy
80 points.
Stimulus from Government.
Target practice is becoming more
popular every day, and if Congress
passes the bill providing for a national
trophy carry a $1,000 prize, the prac-
tice will receive a stimulus it has never
had before. There is a fair chance that
the bill will be passed this year.
4 think the District did most credit
able work. The boys won three of the
first prizes, and when the individual
contests are decided l think it will be
found that the District men have their
share.
The weather was good for the
matches. and the shoot was most sue
cessful one"
The District swept the field clean in
the inspectors match. Major Bell won
the trophy. and the next three best
scores were made by Major Luther
Reichelderfer. Major G. b. Young. and
Captain Colloday. all District men, and
the fifth place was taken by Lieut.
Horace Bell, of the New Jersey team,
but who was formerly inspector OF rife

PREPARING FOR DEFENSE
OF CULEBRA ISLAND
Naval Board Working Out
Plans for Quick Work.
Fall Maneuvers in West Indian Waters
Now Attracting Attention of Of
fcers of Department.

While the war games have been going
on at the eastern end of Long Island,
corps of officers at.the Navy Department
has been steadily at work planning the
details for the winter naval operations
at Culebra Island. The problems pre-
sented differ essentially from those Just
practically determined on the New Eng
land coast. 1t is true that there wiz be
search problem, such as preceded the
joint maneuvers on the Long Island
coast. but in the West Indian waters the
chase will be on much larger scale,
for probably the combined command.
made up of the fleets from the North
Atlantic, the European, and the South
Atlantic, stations. will engage in the
pursuit of the flying foe.
Naval Board Theories.
But the most interesting and impor
tant feature of the work will be the
practical demonstration of certain theo-
ries that have been evolved by the naval
general board. touching initial opera
tions in case of an outbreak of hostili-
ties in Southern waters.
CGlebra Island lies on the extreme
edge of the farthest circle of defense,
and it is regarded as the most feasible
base for the operations of United
States defensive fleet. The place is not
fortified, and may not be taken over by
the army and fortified for several years.
So the problem presented is the rapid
occupation and fortification OF the ISL
and by the navy acting single handed. on
the theory that the army, in the throes
of organization cannot meet the emer-
gency.
Material and Guns.
The Dixie, the Panther, and another
combined transport and cruiser will be
laden with all of the material and guns
needed for the island They will be
kept in waiting at the Norfolk Navy
Yard, ready for the word That word
may come upon the departure from Eu-
rope of the European squadron, and the
effort will be made to reach Culebra, |
to land guns and marines and generally |
place the island in condition to resist /
q naval assault without the assistance I
Of a defensive fleet. Ii it is shown that |
This plan will work. then ii would ap-
pear that a hostile fleet could not pass /
~usbra into the Caribbean or Gulf /
without incurring the danger of having
is communications cut by even a small |
United States, feet with submarines and
, monitor or two. which could find safe
-efuge in case of need in the defenses
1f Culebra.
When this problem is worked out. the
leets will be combined, and enter upon
IN extensive series OF squadron and
ieet drills and target shooting. all of
which will be closely watched by the
board, which will go to the
Nest Indies for that purpose.
