SUNSHINE

A laugh is just like sunshine.
1t freshens all the day,

And drives the clouds away.

And feels it's courage strong;
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folks along.

HIGH SCHOOL RIFLE RANGE
TO BE MADE FOOLPROOF
Targets Will Be So Arranged That
Markers Will Be Off Line
of Fire.

Plans for carrying out the new sched-
ule of increased activities of the High
School Cadets. as outlined several
weeks ago, were considered today by
Stephen E. Kramer. assistant super
intendent of public schools. who is di-
rectly in charge of the military
branch, and Lieut.. E. 2. Steever, u. S.
A., who has volunteered to assist in
the work.
One of the first steps which it was
decided TO take was to make safer tar
gets now being used in the schools for
rife practice. To date Washington has
had no accidents in this line, but the
officials are anxious to make doubly
sure of the safety and to make the
ranges absolutely "foolproof"
According to the plans for the fu-
ture arrangements targets at which
shots have been fired will be brought
by trolley back to the marksmen in
stead of the boys going to the front of
the range to inspect the results of
their work. Targets which will give
no chances for a bullet to rebound,
even though the cartridge be over
loaded. are also to be used.
Commissions are to be presented to
the commissioned officers soon after
the reopening of the schools. 1t is
expected to have a prominent official
make the presentation.

EASTERN BATTLE
GOES ON F|ERCELY

PETROGRAD. December al The
German and Russian official bulletins
regarding the operations south of the
Pripet river laconically declare that the
battles are proceeding. The Importance
of the engagements seems to be con-
sidered by the Russian military critics
as great.
The general staff commentaries lay
stress on the difference between these
struggles and the last notable colli-
sions between the Russians and Teu-
tons before the period of calm.
The battles of Czartorysk, Novo Alex
iniec and elsewhere between the Pripet
river and the Carpathian mountains
were sporadic and designed only to cor
rect positions on different parts of the
line before the cessation of strategic
movements on account of the approach
of winter.
Struggle Ardent Everywhere.
1t is agreed now that a struggle is
proceeding on the entire southwest
line, and that apparently it is equally
ardent everywhere. 1t is intimated
that both sides are aiming at the ac-
complshment of exceedingly impor-
tant tasks. The Russians and Teutons
are equally alert, each side here and
there taking the initiative.
The expectation here is that the out
come of this gigantic, but still obscure
struggle will be a transformation of
the military positions in the Russian
theater of war. While 1t is pointed out
that Germany has not lost interest in
the northern half of this theater it is
intimated that. her activity there is
designed mainly to inspire the belief
that she has not removed her troops
from there.
1t is unanimously agreed among the
military observers that the aspect of
the eastern front will be changed
within three or four days.
