might prove as invaluable In the mountains Of
Mexico they have under somewhat similar
conditions in the Philippines.
Similarly the conditions existing at the scene
OF the present campaign are such as to empha-
size the fact that there is yet very important
sphere for the cavalry in the army.
1t as though the crisis in this unex pected quar-
ter were providential answer to the argu-
ments Of those persons in and out Of official
life who have been urging in recent years
that the foot-soldier should be practically the
whole thing in military complement 1t
must be apparent to everybody who is
casually conversant with geographical condi-
lions that II Uncle Sam is to keep peace From
the Canal to Canada" he will have need OF
considerable cavalry force and force pro-
vided with the best possible class of mounts.
There mountainous localities In the region
to the south of where only cavalry could
operate successfully. Neither automobiles
yet aeroplanes would as a substitute.
And incidentally 1t may be noted that onditons
on the Mexican border have afforded an op-
portunity much earlier than was anticipated to
test the practical military value OF the airship.
The servicabilty OF the sky craft for scouting
operations ought to be pretty well attested ere
the troops return to their home stations.
No better theater of war. real or mimic than
the southwest could be chosen for demon
strating the progress made during the past few
years, both in the methods and equipment OF
the u S. Signal corps. The general public.
with its craving for the spectacular has heard
most regarding the introduction of the aero
plane utensil of warfare but as a matter
of fact the Signal Corps has recently intro
duced innovations far more important from
military standpoint than the aerial scouts and
these communicative utilities and novelties for
day and night signaling would obviously prove
especially valuable in rough country where
there are few existing telephone or telegraph
wires and where the erection of such lines
would be difficult and expensive. The Signal
Corps is fully abreast Of the times (and OF the
military establishment of any other nation) In
Its experiments with wireless telegraphy and
wireless telephony and 1t has developed some
very ingenious expedients for the use OF rap
idly moving forces In the field.-as for instance
the auto-telegraph car or telephone and tele-
graph station wheels and the apparatus
which enables mounted trooper to lay or reel
in telephone wire automatically while his
horse is at full gallop, the rider meanwhile con-
tinuing telephone conversation over this elastic
wire.
1t is expected that when the joint operations
OF the army and navy in the south have passed
into history the record of operations will af
ford argument one way or another to what
shall be done with the u. 8. Marine Corps
Our readers will recall that this force, the sol
diers of the navy" has been for some time past
a bone of contention in service and official cir
cles Many persons have contended for years

army with its general stan or board of direc-
tors. but In even greater degree is 1t evidence
of the value of that comparatively new insti-
tuition, the u. s. Army War College. The news
paper-reading public has been told repeatedly
these past few years that 1t is the special prov
fnce of the officers detailed to duty in the great
red brick building, overlooking the Potomac
In Washington. to have on hand and to keep
constantly up to date detailed plans of cam
paign for use In the event of with any
other nation. However the present instance
affords the country at large its first real
application OF the practical value of the iu-
formation that is kept under such close guard
in the plan vault and the map of the
War College.
1t was shown by the rapidly with which or
ders were formulated and issued for this sud
den movement of the largest body of troops
that has been handled at any one time since
the Spanish war that the War College has de-
pendable information as to just what can be
expected Of the railroads in an emergency.
This showed, too. the wisdom of Uncle Sans
policy Of keeping his war plans up to the min
ute by revising them every time there is a
change Of railroad schedules for, In this in
stance, most of the troops travelled by regular
trains instead Of by special trains and the lat
ter would presumably be resorted to only in
the case OF extreme emergency
Another feature of the plans for the army in
action for which the big trek to Texas has
proven a most beneficial dress rehearsal is that
which contemplates reliance upon the tele-
graph system of the country In the movement
of troops. The of the network OF wires
covering the continent. in the event OF war,
has been the subject Of study on the part of
the military experts that has gone hand in
hand with the investigation to how the rail-
road arrangements could be made to promote
the mobility OF the military force. This work
ed out just as anticipated the day orders were
issued for the advance to Texas and there
poured into the department continual stream
of kilograms that kept the officials advised in
detail to the movement of every body OF
troops headed for the rendezvous in the Lone
Star State
1t may be trifle early to talk about the les
sons to be drawn from this taste of war but
one is already apparent 1t emphasizes that
the field artillery yet has very important
place in our military paraphernalia. There has
been disposition the part of people.

amount of field artillery not the most useful

JACK THE GRA8BER';, 8ElTEN
OFF BY 4 PLyGKY GIRL

"Jack the Grabbcr" is again en-
gagged in his nefarious practice Of
frightening unprotected girls found
upon the streets of Pendieton IN the
early hours of the evening. Miss
Gladys Hamley, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. J. Hamley Of 603 Raley street,
and a popular member of last years
high school graduating class, is the
latest object of his attack, having
been seized by the miscreant at the
corner of Jackson and Logan streets
about $3.50 last evening. Fortunately,
though small of stature, Miss Ham
ley is possessed of more than ordinary
strength and she was able to fight
off her assailant before he had
chance to stiffle her screams.
Earlier in the evening, Miss Ham
ley had started for the high school
athletic carnival and when that event
was postponed she started on her re-
turn home. Girl companions ac-
companied her across the Main street
bridge to the Christian church and
wanted to go on home with her but
she assured them that she was accus.
toned to making the trip alone, that
the street was well lighted and that
she was not in the least afraid.
About the time she reached the cor
ner Of Bush and Jackson streets she
thought she noticed someone on the
walk block ahead of her, but as
this was nothing unusual she paid
no particular attention. Looking up
moment later she saw no one and
decided she must have been mlstak-
en-. When Just in front of the house
on the corner of the street occupied
by Mrs. Warren and some of the local
teachers, the man suddenly appeared
IN front walking toward her. She
crowded up to the fence to give him
as much room to pass as possible but
when right at her side, he suddenly

grabbed her. throwing one arm ABOUT
her waist and attempting to put his
other hand over her mouth.
In this he was not successful, how
ever for she grabbed his hand and
let out a series of piercing screams
which sent the fellow on the run
across the street toward the Johns
residence, formerly Koontz hall.
Though nearly prostrated by the
fright, Miss Hamley managed to cov-
er the remaining three blocks to her
home. When she arrived there she
was nearly hysterical and it was sew
eral minutes before she was able to
make her father understand what had
happened.

fled by phone and left for the scene

T. Winter and Lester Hamley. a
brother of the young lady, also took
up the chase, but though the north
side of the river was thoroughly
secured and though the bridge was
watched all night the miscreant was
not found.
Owing to the suddenness with whicn
the man appeared and the briefness
of her struggle with him, Miss Ham
ley was unable to give the officers
any description which would aid them
in their search. She says he did not
appear to be very tall and could not
say whether or not he wore a hat or
a cap but she is under the impression
that he had a short stubby beard. She
also says the hand he tried to place
over her mouth seemed to be cov-
cred with a mitten and the theory is
advanced that he carried a gag Of

steamer Sechelt, small shelter deck
steamer operated between Victoria

struction camp at Peddar Bay, and a
crew Of four men with Captain H. B,
James, manager of the company in
command. relieving Captain Strom-
gren. Early yesterday morning a boy
arrived at Esquimault in a gasoline
launch from the Williamhead quar-
antine station with news that the
steamer was lost.
All that the boy knew was that the
Sechelt had capsized and he believed
all were drowned. He hal been sent
to get assistance, the telephone lines
being out of order between the city
and the quarantine station. The tug

The Sechelt had good cargo. There
were a few Sooke. residents among
the passengers. The steamer SEEM
ingly made the call at .Wilnamhead
and proceeded toward Peddar bay
when she encountered the strong
southwest squalls which prevailed
about 4.50 ?. m. She was then off
a wooded CLIFF forming
the western entrance to Beachy Bay,
Noi until news is received from the
tug William Jolliffe, will it be known
what was the fate of these on board
the capsized steamer.
Captain H. B. James, who had
charge of the steamer was a former
officer in the Canadian Australian line
and the engineer was Arthur Hicks.
The Sechelt began service on the
Sooke run March I. She was 50 feet
in length over all: Is feet in breadth
and eight feet in depth with a gross
register Of 73 tons.
The tug boats Jolliffc and Madge

saw the boat so down ant they are
convinced that all are drowned.
