Special From STAFF Correspondent.
SEA G1RT, N. j., September 9.-Thurs-
day was strenuous day for the Dis
tr1ct of Columbia's detachment of rifle
men. When firing began in the first stage
of the Dryden trophy match shortly after
o'clock the work of the eight Washing
tonians constituting the brigade team was
followed closely by all the other mem
bers OF the party. Those selected to make
up the team were named only after the
most careful study of records by Major
Harvey, the team captain. General Har-
r1es, commanding the District of Column
bia militia, and Major James E. Bell. in
spector general of rifle practice, were con-
stantly on the firing line The determined
manner In which the District team moved
from fourth place to second place during
the second stage of the competition wor-
rfed the other contestants noticeably.
At 1000 yards however, New Jersey sur
prised every one by moving to the front
and winning the match handily. The Dis
'trict team dropped back to fourth place.
Ohio finished second, the United States
Marine Corps thirds and Maryland fifth.

Russian Business Distress.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
1t was upon a sick world that the shock
of the war fell, with its train of scandal
and disaster. At a stroke some of the most
important markets and sources Of supply
were cut off. While prices were generally
rising, the drafting away of reserves still
further restricted the home demand and it
was no compensation that few contractors
began to make their fortunes, as contract
ors will in war time.
Hundreds of thousands of women and
children have to be maintained largely at
the cost of the town or village Public
works have been stopped all over the coun-
try In view of the needs of the war chest
The general restriction of credit, which is
so essential feature of Russian trade has
especially affected the smaller kinds of
business. and there have already been
wholesale failures.
The great manufacturers like Schneider
and Poznansld OF L1odz, who employ 1900
and 10000 men respectively, have held out
fairly well so far; among lesser firms of all
kinds ruin Is the order of the day, and In
the great Industrial towns of Poland and
the central and southern provinces relief
agencies for the unemployed are struggling
hopelessiy against the deepening misery.
