ATTEMPT REVIVAL
OF RIFLE PRACTICE
National Association Starts
Move to Better Marksman-
ship of U. S. Citizens.

In line with the warning OF Lord
Kitchener. head of the British war
offce. to teach the men of the second
army being prepared for service in
France Ito shoot" officers of the
National Rifle Association OF Ameri-
"a, a patriotic organization. closely
allied with the War Department. has
started a movement to revive the
rifle shooting in the United States.
This sport has almost become eX
tinct, owing principally to the cost
OF cartridges and the lack of ranges.
The United States is practically the
only power which has not set aside
large tracts of land for maneuvering,
artillery and small arms practice.
The officers of the National Rifle
Association, alive to the lack of de-
veloping facilities in the ma tier of
teaching the nation "to shoot" are
now busying themselves more than
ever to organize rifle clubs. to build
ranges and see that instructions are
given in target practice. From the
headquarters of the organiza ton here
thousands of circulars and letters are
being sent out to stimulate the cam
Must Know Rifles.
Lord Kitchener said further in his
dispatch from France. See that the
now levies know how to handle their
lilies. It makes very little difference
whether they know their right foot
rom their left if they know how to
shoot"
II is evident that the head of the
British armies saw enough on his in
spectIon of the battle lines in France
~ convince him that good shooting was
the first lesson of a good soldier Re
ports from the seat of war have all
agreed that the lack of this training
among the Germans has greatly re-
duced the casualties of the allies and
has been moro or less detriment to
The advance Of the invading Tcutor..
A lesson in this is seen to the United
States. where rife shooting has been
more Or less neglected. not only among
tho civilian population, but even in the
,rmy itself, where among higher au-
;Aoritics the opinion prevails, assimi-
Iated from German text books, that in
dividual training in craftsmanship is
not essential, notwithstanding the les

Obtain Bills Passage
After years of effort, the National
iifie Association of America. a patri-
otic organization closely allied with the
Var Department, has obtained the pas
sage by Congress of n measure to issue
free to rifle clubs rifles and ammunition
"a that those citizens who, in time of
war. would compose the volunteer
armies, would have some knowledge OF
the care and use OF the military ann,
knowledge which. as Lord Kitchener has |
stated. is more important than march !
