From the headquarters OF the
come in the proper promotion OF this
movement so that the government
will get adequate returns is the lack
of ranges whereon members of rifle
clubs can practice. The United
States is practically the only great
power in the world that has not set
aside large tracts of land for maneu-
vering, artillery and small arms
practice. At the present time the
government owns only one range and
that is located in Wisconsin and for
several reasons it is not in commits
sion. There are small ranges locat-
ed at or near most of the army
posts, but such ranges are only used
at stated times of the year for tar
get practice of the local garrisons.
Practically all the states have state
ranges for the use of the national
guard, but these ranges are so
hedged about with restrictions and
lack of funds that they are only used
during the period that the national
guard is practicing. What this coun.
try needs above all other things in
the military line at the present time
is the acquiring of land and the
construction of rifle ranges as near
as possible to large centers Of pop

of this new movement will result in
the revival of the noble sport of ri
file shooting in this country a sport
which has almost become extinct ow
ing principally to the cost of car
tridges and the lack of ranges. The
most serious problem to be over
ulation. The cost of such land even
at this date is almost prohibitory
and the longer the government puts
off acquiring same, the harder it
will be to acquire and greater the
cost. Efforts have been made from
time to time in congress to pass leg
islation looking to the requirement
of sites for ranges, maneuvering-
grounds, etc, but without success. A
definite policy of range construction
should be adopted by congress sim

One range year should be con-
structed until ranges have been pro-

the country. Until this has been
done and not before will the civilian

The admonition of Lord Kitche-
nor, head of the British war office,
about training the recruits for the
second army to be sent to the con-
tinent to fight the Germans, teach
the men to shoot" hits the nail on
the head. Lord Kitchener said fur
ther in his dispatch from France:
See that the new levies know how
to handle their rifles. 1t makes
very little difference whether they
know their right foot from their
left if they know how to shoot"
1t is very evident that the head
of the British armies saw enough
on his inspection of the battle lines
in France to convince him that
straight shooting was the first les
son of good soldier. Reports from
the seat of war have all agreed
that the lack of this training among
the Germans has greatly reduced
the casualties of the allies and has
been more or less a detriment to
the advance of the invading Teu-
tons. What a lesson this is to the
United States where rifle shooting
has been more or less neglected
not only among the civilian popula-
tion but even in the army itself,
where among higher authorities the
opinion prevails, assimilated from
German text books, that individual
training in craftsmanship is not es-
sential, Notwithstanding the lessons
of our own soldiers in the reyolu-
tionary war and in the Boer-British
conflict.
After years of effort, the National
Rifle Association of America, a pa
triotic organization closely allied
with the war department, has secur-
ed the passage by congress of a
measure to issue free to rifle clubs
rifles and ammunition so that those
citizens who in time of war would
compose the volunteer armies, would
have some knowledge of the care
knowledge which as Lord Kitchener
has stated is more important than
marching and drilling. Under this
act, the government will issue the
rifles with which the regular army
was formerly equipped, popularly
called the "Krag." 1t is a splendid
shooting arm and the equal of any
of the rifles which are now being
uesd by the troops in the European
war. With each rifle will go 120
rounds of ammunition. This am
munition will be issued annually to
every club member who will guar
antee to use the same in practice
shooting as prescribed by the war
department.
Although this law has been in eff
feet only four months, there has
already been organized in different
parts of the country more than 40
rifle clubs. These clubs all allied
themselves with the National Rifle
Association of America, which or
ganization has been delegated by the
secretary of war to carry out the
purposes of the new law, organize
the clubs, supervise the record fir
ing and issue decorations to those
