Neenah. That the state G.. A. II, is
slowly becoming extinct is shown by
the report of the assistant adjutant
general, read at the opening session
OF the state encampment in this city.
This report shows that the total gains
in the six months ending Dec 81. 1912,
were 165, while the losses during the
same period were BAT. of which $40
were deaths The membership of the
order on Dec. 81 was 5,703. At one
time the membership of the order In
Wisconsin was 10000. He said that
there are as many veterans of the
civil war who are not members Of the
order as there are members.
The encampment Is marked by the
largest attendance of any since 1893.
Both of the cities are fairly darkened
by the flags hung in honor of the four
organizations which are meeting here.
The feature that appealed most to-
the old soldiers was staged at night,
when the huge campfire meeting was
held on the shore of Lake Winnebago.

The parade contained about 500
aged veterans and 2,000 children OF
the Twin city schools, in addition to
members of the other three organiza-
tionS meeting in the cities. This pa
rade was reviewed by Commander in
Chief Alfred Beers and was the first
parade of a Wisconsin department re-
viewed by the head of the national
organization.
When the department election is
held, it is expected, Capt Charles
Henry, Eau Claire, will be chosen as
department commander to succeed
Commander Spratt. 1t is also thought
that S. A. Cook of Neenah will be
chosen senior vice commander

Washington, June 11.-At the target
practice of the Pacific fleet held off
San Diego the cruiser Maryland re-
ceived an average Of S0.552 with her
main batteries of eight-inch guns.
With speed of IS knots per hour,
the Maryland steamed past the targets
and at a range of 10000 yards, opend
fire with her main batteries. Firing
each gun every minute, she made over
eight out of the possible ten hits per
gun. The targets are very small as
compared with the size of the possible
enemy, so that in actual battle the
damage OF this fire would have been
terribly accurate.
