REDS AND BLUES
in Sham BATTLE
Opposing Forces of Third In
fantry to Clash on Vir-
ginia Hills.

4 mimic battle will be fought over the
Virginia hills this morning between two
forces OF the District militia from Camp
Ordway. Rifles will pop" and the smoke
of battle will hang over the scene.
The Third Infsntry will split into two
factions, one the Reds" and the other
the Blues" The first battalion, consist
ing Of Companies A, B, C and D. under
the command OF Mai James Z. Hodgson,
will be the defensive, and the third bat
talon, composed of Companies 7. K, L
and NJ. with Companies G ard H OF the
second battalion. under the command OF
Maj. Alexander Summers, will be the at
tacking forces Rifles will be loaded
with blank cartridges. Companies z and
F are using real bullets on the rife
range.
Before the troops leave camp for the
sham combat each man will be given E
clip OF five blank cartridges. The prob
lem TO be worked out will be the one OF
advanced guard duty. The blank. ammu-
milton is being given the men so IN
when opposing forces get into contact
shots will indicate the decision. With
cartridges that make a noise in their
rifles the men will take a greater interest
in the war game
The only disagreeable feature in the use
OF blank cartridges in the maneuvers is
the extra work that the men have to do
in cleaning rifles. Blank cartridges make
a gun dirtier than DO dead pills" say
the men.
Col. Glendie B. Young and Lieut. Col
anton Stephan. with Capt. E. W. FUNn.
adjutant, will act as umpires and instruc-
tors during the game.

ton of school" for the afternoon drill

INFANTRYMEN SHOOT

Field Fire Given Precedence Over
Record Practice at Con-
gress Heights.

Field FIRE, the kind Of rifle practice that
will be Of the most use in actual COM
bat, is being given right OF way over
instruction and record practice by the
infantry companies of the District militia
on the Congress Heights rifle range.
Each squad, under the command OF its
own corporal, is given ammunition. and
is advanced in skirmish line toward the
butts. Unexpectedly a silhouette target
of a man prone is raised for one minute,
and fire is directed by the corporal and
concentrated upon it. The target is bobbed
up again as the men advance, and
again fired upon. The largest number of
hits represents the most effective squad
fire.
Every other day until the troops leave
or all have had practice, two companies
will leave for the range for two days
instruction.

Baltimore, July 33.-All the treasure
OF the Kronprinssssin Cecilie Is tucked
away abroad the little green under
sea packet. the deutschland.
They brought II down from Boston,
where the Cecilie is interned, one day
last week.
In small bags. by rail. the money
came-s4, 000. 900 in gold-and 1t was
put aboard the Deutschland and stored
in secret compartments. This is on the
authority of q man who knows.
They claimed it was nickel they were
putting on the submarine, didn't they7"
says the man. We'll, it was good old
gold. And the reason they are not
hurrying the Dsutchland back to Ger
many with that gold is because they
have not yet given up hope of getting
insurance"
Il guess that wouldn't be a grab for
those war boats that are hanging
around outside the capes eh?' he
Qusried.
They've got rubber and some nickel
on that diver all right. Just like they
say. but the richest part OF the cargo
is the gold. and it's all there-every
penny of the four millions"
Yet there is still another story-or
may be it might be called a theory
as to the delay Of the Deutschland, that
differs materially from this tale of the
continued attempts to secure insur-
ance.
II is said that Capt Koenig is wait
ing Ia see the Bremen. The Bremen
Is s1pected tomorrow. For that mat
ter, it was expected yesterday. which
means that it is expected any day.
II the Bremen fails to arrive; Sf she
is taken or destroyed at sea, it is said
that Koenig will intern the Deutsch-
land at once rather than run the risk
of losing his boat and men.

BULLY FOR death,
THE0S0PH|ST CRY
Lecturer Promises Well Get
All Our Pet Hobbies
on Other Side"

Death need not be looked upon as
the sad. dreary end OF all things, but
as grand little holiday instead, II
the philosophy and science Of Irving
S. Cooper, who lectured before the
Theosophical Society last night, are
true.
According to Mr.. Cooper. Heaven
is an unseen world-a vast sphere in
which the earth is imbedded, and that
sphere has an influence on the physical
world which is evident in some phases
of life.
Death, as the speaker saw 1t, is
nothing but the loss OF physical body
and the divine gain of an admission
into that world that imbeds the earth
where "the hobbies that one enjoyed
on earth become the only things in
the after life, but woe be to him who
had no hobbies"
we die and pass from physical be-
ing, but in time our friends join u.s."
he said. we live where there is no
heat, no cold, no unpleasantness at
all, and we are still capable of con-
versing with our friends. There is
no pleasure missed, and no worry en-
countered."
