A sham battle with real ball car
tridges in place of usual blanks was
staged by Brig. gen. Pershing in Texas
with remarkably instructive and salts
factory results. The battle was on a
large scale, participated in by the 9Th,
18th and 10th Infantry, one squadron
of the 18th Cavalry, one battalion of
the 9Th Field Artillery and Company /,
Signal Corps. 49,. ;z..=s. y. ::.
Out on the prairie near Ell Paso
forces attacked the enemy supposed to
consist of two regiments of infantry
and two battalions of field artillery.
But the position of this force was but
lined by a great number of targets,
more than 500 silhouette figures repre-
senting soldiers and electrically con-
trolled, which received the impact OF
about 100000 ball cartridges. ..
Certain important defects in organ
ization and equipment were developed,
and altogether the exercise is said to
be of incalculable value, in an educa-
tional way.

A doublerheader was played last
night in the National Guard Indoor
Baseball League, both games being
too one-sided to be exciting, although
furnishing lot of amusement to a
fairly well-iilled gallery. Arthur Par
ker, pitching for G, and Bum Suinn,
working for H, proved too much for
their respective opponents, and with
fair hitting strength behind them won
In walk
The game between B and H, staged
as the closer, was something of COM
edy affair, after the Chinese players
had put across nine runs in the fourth
frame, practically cinching the game.
Benny pitched nice game for the
losers, but seemed to tire towards the
end of the game, being hit freely.

ARMY and navy

Limitation OF disposition of public
lands In the Philippines under the
present law to forty acres to an in
dividual, or $500 acres to corpora
ton, is hampering the development OF
the island sugar industry, Gen. Frank
Mcintyre. chief of the bureau of In
sular affairs, war department, said in
reply to question from Senator Lip
pitt before the Senate Philippines COM
mittee.
The committee had up for consid-
Grafton the Philippine bill, passed by
the house at the last session, which
would grant greater measure of self
government to the islanders.
Gen. Mcintyre reviewed the bill,
pointing out the changes 1t contem-
plates, and at the suggestion of Sem
ator Weeks promised to submit state
ments showing what the expenditures
OF the United States in the islands
since the organic act of 1902 have been
on military establishment, coast sur
yey, harbor work and similar matters.
Discussing the possibilities, of fric-
ton between the various tribes should
the islands be given full independence,
Gen. Mcintyre said the Moros and the
islanders of the north probably would
clash, but that none of the other wild
people would be FESTIVE.

The cost of the American army ra-
ton has increased to such an extent
on account of the European war that
1t will cost $4,000 more to feed the
soldiers during the coming year than
during the present year, Even the
prices of horse feed has so increased
that 100000 more must be paid next
year for army forage than this year.
These are some of the results Of the
war affecting the army which have
made their appearance. The navy also
is affected. The war freight rates have
made 1t impossible for the navy to
meet out Of its appropriations the cost
of sending scoal to its various stations.

Chicago's New Mayor Will Be
Installed In Office Tonight

Thompson theory is that the police
man is closer to the average citizen
than all the charity organization
agents in the world and is thereby the
enc to do such work When this dol
lar is expended it will be replaced.
As to the business side of conduct
ing the affairs of the fourth city in
the world, Thompson has declared ne
will endeavor, whenever possible, to
surround himself with successful bus
mess men, large or small, who will
be willing to emulate his example and
give up four years Of their lives to
the work of the city.
Mayor Thompson has strong opin-
ions regarding Chicago's crime situa-
ton. He has not yNt gone into detail
as to what his remedies for the whole
sale robberies, street hold-ups, etc.,
will be, but he has said that crime and
immortality can and must be checked
by an honest and efficient police force.
He intimated that he would try to
get as chief of police man regard
lees of political affiliation, who can
be absolutely fearless in upholding
the laws.

Fire Destroys One
of the Circus Cars

One of the sleeping cars OF the
Barnes circus, on the switch off the
main track at the Virginia and
Truckee depot, was practically de
stroyed by FIRE late this aftcf~oi'.
The department was called out and
responded quickly, but the fire mad
made such headway there was little
chance to save anything, but through
the efforts OF the railroad men tho
other cars in the train were isolated
and saved from damage.
The FIRE, it is stated, was caused by
one Of the occupants OF the car using
gasoline in cleaning clothes. The
car was valued at $1,000 and in addi-
ton to this there was considerable
loss in personal property to mem
bers of the company who occupied
the car.

Correspondent Describes Fight

HEADQUARTERS OF BRITISH
ARMY, Northern France, Sunday,
April 1S, via London, April 23.-1t
was my privilege today to witness a
wonderful instance OF the superior
ity Of the British flying corps.
As a result OF the demonstration II
was easily understood why General
French sings the praises of his arr
men in nearly every report he writes.
At 430 this afternoon German
aeroplane was reported flying over
Ypres. When it was sighted it al
ready had passed well within the
British lines. From a distant sta
ton almost Immediately after the
field telephone had given the alarm
two British aeroplanes could be seen
rising and mounting into the sky in
great, wide circles. The German
aviator discerned his enemies almost
at the moment they came in view over
their own lines. He headed back
over the German trenches, making
for the protection OF his own guns.
AS he led the way, white Oalls oil
smoke, each bigger than pursuing
British aeroplanes, broke into view
The center Of each was ball OF
light. They were German shapnei.
The smoke puffs did not disappear,
but hung in almost regular order III
space. 1t appeared from the grouni
that the Germans were putting new
ileccy clouds in the sky. The British
airmen were trying hard to get above
the German so they could shoot him
down. As they dashed through the
lazy, lowering smoke clouds it was as
though their propellors we're tearing
apart gigantic feather bed.
The aviators ignored the German
shrapnel. Finally their machines
showed in relief above the German

ish front to lure the British within
