ENEMY IS BALKED
BY OUTPOST LINE
Captain Sargent, Eighth Infan-
try, Handles Difficult Prob
lem at Camp Atascadero
Company E, Signal Corps, Will
Give Field Wire Equipment
Thorough Test
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CAMP ATASCADERO. Oct. 1s.-Camp
Atascadero is safe tonight. The de-
Tending forces succeeded in establish
ing strong line along the hill crests
beyond Atascadero creek that utterly
baked the advance Of the imaginary
enemy attempting to pass from the
direction of Paso Robles.
Captain Sargent of the Eighth in
fantry handled the outpost line and
distributed his troops in what was
pronounced by the umpires the most
satisfactory and smooth solution sub
mitted to a problem during the present
maneuvers.
Every corps worked out It's own par
ticular branch of the problem, all un-
der the guidance of the one mind, and
all dove failing into the others. The
field hospital established its ambulance
station in sheltered swale near the
mine camp, the engineers did valiant
work in clearing the field Of fire along
the main line. the machine guns, in
fantry and field artillery swept the
country road so that not fly could
have passed save by their pleasure
The signal corps connected all impor-
tant units with the commander by
telegraph and telephone and orders
were transmitted on the field by word
of mouth from commander to COM
mander over these telephones. By to-
thorough test of the new machine gun
will have been completed. and all day
"Wednesday will be occupied by the Of
ficers in observing the firing. The en-
| listed men, other than the signal corps
| members, will have an off day then.
Company e, signal corps. will leave
early tomorrow morning for two days
thorough test of field wire equipment.
They will travel 25 miles laying their
wires behind them and establishing
| five field telegraph and telephone sta
tions.
This is the first problem of the kind
ever attempted and is designed to bring
out the strong and weak points of this
new and highly complex branch of
| the service. Briefly stated it is as
sumed that an army corps has stopped
at Templeton and that 1t sends forward,
toward San Luis Obispo, via Moro,
cavalry division to reconnoiter for an
enemy that has just left Los Angeles.
Anticipating contact with the cavalry
Templeton sends the signal company
result of the contact. The forces, other
than the signal troops, are imaginary,
but the signal work is more than real.
To be successful these men must travel
| six miles an hour and establish their
stations, keep the entire % miles of
wire open for immediate and constant
use. and then turn around the next
day and reel up at the same gait. The
horses must return to camp fresh and
ready to repeat the performance.

positive assurances that Bulgaria would

The city attorney. in an opinion to

that the charter provision against the
employment of aliens in any city
work could not be stretched to forbid
contracts with persons not citizens of
the United States. The question arose
from the bills presented by one Frank
Repetti for the removal of garbage. an
unsuccessful bidder against Repetti
having raised the point that he was an
alien and could not draw money from
the city treasury.
