The Commander's Instructions

A FTER the commander has obtained all the avail

the locations from which he can bring concentrated
fire on them, he decides upon his general plan of
battle and issues instructions TO the Generals COM

instructions VIII be to seize the key OF the enemys
position which IS that point whose capture threatens
the larger part Of his position and renders it un-
tenable The situation or location Of this point may
not be developed until the action has been in
progress for sometime and # large reserves have

\ battle usually presents three distinct stages:
the preparatory stage, the decisive action, and the
completion. The object Of the preparatory stage
IS to engage the enemy wherever he may be found

up his reserves while large portion OF the attack

the decisive action in which, after having discovered
the weak points in the enemy's lines an overwhelm-
ing volume Of fire IS directed against them, and
after having subdued the opposing fire charge

horse artillery, of the reserve TO turn the retreat

good order, 10 harass and pursue him. and prevent
his taking up 4 strong position behind which he can
reform and reOrganize his shattered forces The
main factor in the decisive stage of the battle is
the delivery of such a volume of fire to prevent
the enemy returning It and allowing the assaulting
columns TO get within striking distance without
suffering such loss as TO render the charge when
delivered of no effect. The absence of smoke. due
to the OF srokeless powder, has increased the
difficulty Of locating the direction from which the
fire IS coming.
The efficiency of fire depends upon its direction,
accuracy, and volume. The direction of the fire
depends upon a thorough knowledge of the ground,
which must have been obtained from maps or
reconnaissances, while accuracy and volume depend
upon the amount Of discipline training the troops
have previously had.

In letter accompanying the call secre-
tary Galbreath says:
The active assistance of all those inter
ested in the mining business must be en-
listed at this time IL we are to hope for
the creation of a department OF mines and
tration.
Two matters of great importance will be
brought UP for final action at the conven-
tion:
l. law for the protection of mining
investors.
?. a law for the creation of mine drain
age districts.
The first will largely increase investments
in mining enterprises by furnishing protec-
ton against absolute dishonesty in mining
promotions and thus bring about a largely
increased development of our mineral re-
sources.
The second will provide means for con-
tinued production in the many districts
where common system is necessary to
profitable operations.

Twenty-One Persons Are Rescued

children, were rescued early today from

the Detroit and Cleveland line steamer

Lake Huran. All of the mescaped unin-
tured and were brought to this city on
the City of Mackinac. The Eddy was de-
stroyed.
The Charles A. Eddy was bound down
from the head OF the lakes with a cargo
of ore. Fire broke out early today while
the steamer was OFF Port Saniiac. 1t
spread with great rapidity and was soon
beyond control of the crew. Distress sig
nails were sounded and Captain Simpson
OF the City of Mackinac, which was bound
down from Mackinaw island to Detroit,
crowded to its capacity with passengers,
responded with his boat. Captain Elsey
OF the Eddy was sick In bed with lumbago
and had to be carried from his ship to the
Mackinac, with his wife and two children,
aged and years. The other passengers
were taken on without difficulty.
Everyone on the Eddy lost all his pos
sessions except the scant clothing he had
on. Dispatches from Port Sanilac this
afternoon say that the Eddy is still burn
ing and is of the port with two bargos
standing by. A large part of the boat
had been consumed by the flames at 7
o'clock. but the fire was then believed to
be under control. The fire broke out In
the forward end of the boat and spread so
rapidly that several members OF the crew
had to break the windows over their hunks
and crawl through, as the regular means
of egress were blocked by fire and smoke.
Captain Elsey's wife was driven from
her cabin clad in only a nightgown and
the two baby girls were almost nude.

WOMAN KILLED IN GOTHAM
Man who Reports Death is Held by
Police Pending an In
vestigatiOn.

NEW YORK. Aug IA woman known
as Mrs. Anhie Moore was found murdered
early today in a furnished room at Sixty
second street. No weapon was found and
there were few marks around the room.
James Moore, who had posed as the
womans husband, was held by the police
on suspicion. He notified the police Of the
murder. He ran up to two detectives at
Second street and the Bowery at
o'clock this morning and told them he
had just gone to his home and thought
his sister-in-law was dead. The police
hurried to the house and began to In
vestigate the crime.
Moore told the police he and the woman
had been living together for seven years.
The woman he said. was the widow OF his
brother, who had died ten years ago.
No one In the house could be found who
heard any sounds as IL struggle was TAX
ing place Herman Won Kohlen. who has
an adjoining room, was aroused by the
police and said he had been In bed since
o'clock in the afternoon and had heard
no noises whatever. The dead woman was
so years old.
The wounds found on the woman's body
recalled at once 20 the minds of the officers
and doctors, who were called, the Jack
Ripper murders some years ago. A
hurried investigation by the police showed
no signs of struggle. and the police con-
cluded that the woman had been attacked
In her sleep. On pillow which lay across
her face was the imprint of a bloody hand.
The victims hands were clean, so that the
police believe the mark must have been
left by the murderer Moore maintains
that he is innocent He. told the police
that he left the house in Second street ct
O'Clock last night apd went to a Bowery
saloon, where he remained until 1 o'clock
this morning. Police inquiries at the sa-
loon developed the information that Moore
had been there until Just before 10 O'Clock
when he left Lodgers in the Second street
house told the police that Moore returned
home at about 10 o'clock and that he did
not go out again afterwards. The MUIR
tdered woman before her marriage to the
! prisoners brother was Annie Fitch. After
her husbands death she went rapidly down
the scale of life. Moore, the prisoner, is
in an advanced state of consumption He
has wife and two children living, hardly
stones throw from the scene OF the
crime.
Three life insurance policies were found
in the room. They were issued by the
Prudential company on May 1, 1906. One
Of them, for $275. was on the life OF the
woman and made payable to the prisoner.
The others were on the life of Moore, made
payable to the woman.
James Moore's son Edward, aged Is
years, was arrested and technically held as
witness in the Moore murder case after
his father had been examined by the police
The youth Is said to have suffered from
| epilepsy for several years.
James Moore. was held without bail to
await the action of the grand jury.
Moore's son, Edward. testified that his
father was accused by the dead woman
of having brutally beaten her last Sunday.
Moore admitted striking the woman.
