Comfort of Foreigners.
The comfort of the foreign attaches was
also one of Gen. Woods first considera-
tons. There are three on the ground, and
another was expected this morning. They
are being looked after by Capt. Guignard
Of the Artillery Corps and are at liberty
to go anywhere they please. Nothing is
hidden from them. One important fact
to remember in connection with the events
which are now going forward is that there
will never be any decision announced
officially.
Neither will there be any scoring by
points or enumeration of the dead and
wounded. That is the word given out
at headquarters 1t is explained that two
objects are sought. The first of these is
to note where the weak points are and SO
profit by them that next time a war
game is played the same mistakes will
not be made again. The second object is
to have the movements go on with every
man participating in them The theoreti-
cally dead and the theoretically wounded
will not remain dead and wounded
The point made is that troops learn
nothing if they are obliged to fall by the
waysde and take the part of dead and
wounded men. Instead, If in theory the
fire of a company or regiment appears
to be such that the opposing body would
be wiped out or decimated suspension
of hostilities will be ordered for half an
hour or SO. and the body which has been
raked by the fire of the other side will
fall back.
May Follow Advantage.
The successful ones may then follow
up their advantage by pursuing the re-
firing forces or make some other move,
as they please. There are between
thirty and forty umpires with the
forces. These umpires designated

PROHIBITl0NISTS DECLARE
 LOCAL OPTION Is A FARCE

Chicago. Jan. 2--In Ia new, years study of the party outlook, the prohib- ttionists have locked horns with the Anti Saloon League by declaring that local option laws ara a farce" and that they are nothing but temporary sxpe- dents with little or no real gain to the temperance cause." and that wherever they have been passed. they have cut down the vote on the prohibition ticket.
 The survey ot the situation issued from national headquarters was written by Michael j. Planning, of Philadel- phia. It anaiyzes the return of the No- vember election in a manner that gives point to the paradoxicai assertions re. esntly made by Eugene " Chain. that the smaller the vote the party boiled in 1908. the greater would be the vote in 1s12.
 The writer points out that in States that passed local option laws the Chain vote fen otf. while fin those that turned down the bin g of the Anti-Saioon League, Chafin got more votes than Swallow did in 1908.
