Camp Atascadero. Oct. With two hostile army corps. one concen- trating at San Francisco and the other at Los Angeles, and an imag- mary enemy's squadron of warships reported off the coast near Port Hartford, the problems given by the umpires to the squadron and bat talion commanders today called for more difficult work and more eXten- sive field maneuvers than the simple exercises of yesterday.
 A Red" squadron of the Fifth cavalry under Major Fred Foster with Captain Rhodes and Lieutenant Hodges as umpires, was ordered as an advance guard to ascertain the number and composition of a large force of an enemy from San Luis Obispo. To give the situation a de- gree of realism, troop H of the 14th cavalry under Captain Adams. was screened among the trees and bushes behind a hill five miles southeast of the camp, and represented the hos tile army.
 The OUtposts of the squadron came in contact with the advance guard of the enemy about 10 o'clock and were driven back upon the main column. the patrols reconnOitering and report ing that the ridge was strongly occu- pied.

ACCEPT CONTRACT
Directors of M. w. A. Decide to
Print Official Paper of the
Royal Neighbors.
ISSUE IS $4,000 A MONTH
Two Publications Will Increase Reve
nues of Local Postoffice About
$4,000 a Year.

The Modern Woodmen will print the
official publication OF the Royal Neigh
bors of America at its new printing
building on Sixteenth street. The pa
per has been issued from Peoria, but
must now be issued from Rock Island,
this being the home of the society's
head office. This is the rule of the
postoffice department. The board of
directors of the Woodmen convened to-
day in the monthly session. This
morning the proposition of printing
the official Royal Neighbors' paper was
taken up, and it was decided to take
| the contract, The Royal Neighbors
paper is printed once a month, as is
the Modern Woodman,' and this
means considerable more work for the
new printing department of the head
Office. In fact, 100000 copies of The
Royal Neighbors" alone will have to be
turned cut each month. which, with the
| 1,04S,G00 copies of the Modern Wood
man, means no little work. Each
weighs about 20 tons, and the Royal
Neighbors weighs about a fourth of
that. The papers will be mailed at
the rate of 1 cent pound, making the
increased revenue of the local post
office each month about $4,000 II
would take a great many clerks at the
ipostoffice to take care of this immense
amount of mail, and it has been ar
ranged with the superintendent of the
Sixth district of the railway mail serv-
ice to handle 1t directly from the pub
Ilication Office, where it will be routed
and mailed under the supervision OF
lseveral clerks from the local postoffice
This practice may be discontinued
when the addition to the postoffice is
provided in accordance with a late
appropriation of congress.
Installing Big Press.
The new press which will print the
papers is being installed as rapidly as
possible and will be ready within a
short time for work. When the build
ing is finally finished it will be made
the occasion of a celebrat ton at which
there will be speaking by humble,

SHOW NEED OF AN
EMERGENCY ROOM
Police Matrons and Visiting
Nurses Present Matter to
Bethany Directors
AT The REGULAR MEETING
Board Comedies Need, But Has Not
the Funds--committee Will Make
an Investigation of Project.

The directors of Bethany Protective
association met in regular monthly ses-
sion last evening at the Harper house,
and the police matrons and visiting
nurses of Moline and Rock Island were
present TO advocate the need of estab-
fishing an emergency room for deten-
ton of children in urgent cases There
are many instances each month of
mothers and children left homeless
and penniless by deserving husbands,
and a place TO care for them is prov
ing necessity to the matrons and the
nurses of the city. Bethany Home is
at present almost filled to its capacity,
and yet demands for permission to
bring children there increase each day.
While the board members agreed with
those in favor of establishing an emer-
gency room, they feel that at present
they are quite unable to arrange for
it on account of the condition of their
finances. A committee consisting of
Mrs. G. II. Huntoon and the visiting
nurses and police matrons of the two
cities will meet with Mrs. w. c. Ben
nett. the president of the board, to see
what can be done. Another commit
tee was appointed to look into all the
cases of children already at the home
TO see if any of them can be sent to
their homes TO make room for more
urgent cases. The board feels that it
has a big work ahead of it and would
like to get the city councils of the two
cities interested in the establish lent
of an emergency room and a detention
house
Reports Are Made.
The report of the matron of the
home was read, showing the number
of children in the home and enumera-
ting the needs of the institution. All
the members of the board were APP
pointed delegates TO the State Confer
ence of Charities which will convene
in this city Oct II to Is.
The exact date for the annual rum
mage sale was not settled upon, but it
will take place either the second or
third week in October. 1t win be held
at the Armory hall as usual and those
in charge of it hope for more sue
cessful sale than ever before due to the
growing interest in the home.
