"War" Is On.
The war" Is on.
Throughout jefferson county this
morning, there has been such a splut-
tering and splitting of fire from the guns
of the 1900 militiamen as has not been
seen since the historic John Brown
raids. The RED army and the Blues"
have clashed. with the results still in
doubt Not until tonight when the
regular army instructors who are act
ing as umpires get together with Capt.
of the militia and who has made the
military problems to be solved, will 1t be
known which arm was victorious.
The first blank ammunition of the
encampment was issued to the men to-
day. Ammunition wagons drove to each
division. and dozen rounds were issued
to each man. with instructions to make
be no more issued today the men were
told, 80 make this last as long as you
One division-the First Infantry, COM
manded by Colonel Ourand-was started
toward Halltown. while Colonel Har-
vey's Second Infantry remained in
army" to disappear and hide its posi-
ton. Then the boys of the Second
Infantry shouldered their guns and
s'o outposts We're established and the
men told to shoot and report every
member of the opposing force seen
skulking about The two 'armies'' had
minutes before either outpost caught
one glimpse of member of the other.
There was a sudden crack of a
Springfield and long line of guns man
ned by excited militiamen spat fire for
several minutes. Then there was
silence, and both armies rushed to
safety.

Shannon, had opened fire on Capt. Fred
T. Austin's Third Field Artillerymen of
Battery E, from Fort Myer, and probably
would have annihilated that organiza-
ton, but for the horses of the District
battery, which didn't like the noise and
S tried to break away. The horses of the
regulars were unaffected by the firing.
Mice bunch of army horses, those
of the militia" an observer rema rked.
'Just look at the difference between
them and the animals of the regulars.
Yes. and I'd like to see what Cap
tain Austin's horses would do If they
were attached to bread wagon, too. -
remarked Captain Shannon. They
would make Just such spectacle as
mine have today"
The Signal Corps, after several hours
experience In the field yesterday, ac-
Quilted itself beautifully This was di-
vfded into two sections, each army
having been given enough men of the
corps to keep every division in close
touch with the others all morning.
The farewell dinner given Capt.
James B. Allison, who leaves next
month to join his command in the
Seventh United States Infantry, was
a memorable event. 1t was given at
the Blue Ridge Rod and Gun Club last
night, and f1fty-eight officers of the
guard were present. Col. Richard D..
Simms, retired. formerly of the Second
Infantry, was toastmastsr.
