Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, August 3.-Infantry
drill regulations covering night opera
tions are being amplified to meet with
war conditions which may be created
by aeroplanes and dirigible balloons.
The extremely long range of modern
firearms will also make night marches
and maneuvers more frequent in fu-
Iture wars. While it is not believed
there will be any increase in night at
lacks, and while in fact these will
probably decrease in number in the
future, more night movements will
be necessary because the employment
of aeroplanes, balloons and other mod
ern signal corps appliances will make
lit possible for one army to watch an
other more closely.
The Importance of field or combat
firing will also be emphasized by the
new regulations. This is distinctive
from individual firing, as in combat
firing the company will shoot at a
concealed enemy. 1t will even be
possible to hit the enemy when it is
beyond the view of the naked eye, ow-
ling to the long range of the modern
I service rifle. This is made possible
4 by the fire being, directed by officers
with field glasses, stationed on EN-
4 inences giving them a view of the
enemy, from which points they will
direct their commands how to fire.
Objects in view of the troops will be
selected as targets, but by manipu-
lation of the sights the hidden enemy
will be hit.
The importance of changing the
regulations so as to provide for field
firing, was apparent in the war
strength battalion maneuver at Atlas
cadero. 1t was found that the old reg
iulations seriously interfered with cal
culations of officers in combat firing,
In making these calculations the in
fantry officers are not assisted by the
exact sciences as field artillery Of
ficers are in controlling the fire Of bat
teries. There are so many elements
to be taken into consideration in this
new system of firing, that special
regulations covering this feature of
infantry tactics must be supplied,

WHAT VESSEL SHALL FIRST PASS
THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL!

Many express a preference for the old
sailing man-of-war Portsmouth, de-
fender of the Pacific coast during the
war with Mexico The Portsmouth
raised the Stars and Stripes at Buena
Yerba, now San Francisco, and rem
dered other notable service on the Pa
cific. She is now at Norfolk Va, as
a quarantine ship, but congress is con-
sidering an appropriation of $4,000 to
fit her out for the trip to the Pacific.
1t has also been suggested that the
battleship Oregon should be given the
signal honor of being the first ship to
ply the canal, in recognition of her
famous trip around the continent at
the outbreak of the war with Spain.
Naval officers express qualification
over the popular interest displayed in
the famous vessels of the navy. They
declare that, with the approval of
congress they will endeavor to favor
the suggestion which appears to have
the strongest public backing.

Erehensive. 1t required about an hours
time for him to read it at yesterdays

porting sanitary and health measures,

that they have covered a tremendous
amount of ground. On this subject he
writes as follows:
I'm 1910 the sanitation department
made 51O,767 inspections in Honolulu
alone. This included the installation
of 1881 sanitary fixtures, the abolition
of 1855 insanitary fixtures, 1920
rooms scrubbed, 26,472 minor nuisan-
Ces abated, 424 cesspools or vaults
pumped 356 dug, 265 repaired, 2S4
abolished, 144 buildings connected with
sewers, 43O IL days special work, be-
sides a number Of other matters,
This work was done by six territorial
and two city inspectors under the
efficient management of Mr.. Charloct
assisted by f. B. Cook.

for which the Board of Health was
assisted by the appropriation of $1,000
