BIG IMPROVEMENT
IN CRAFTSMANSHIP
RAPIDLY LEARNING HOW TO
MAKE sULL'S-EYE SHOTS.

FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMER
ICAN EXPEDITION IN MEXICO.
Dec. 18.-Extraordinary improvement
in craftsmanship is being noted in
reports received at field headquart-
ers. The regular life of the soldiers
has steadied their nerves, and the
clear air of the Mexican plateau
region MAKES sighting easy. AEoth-
er factor in the good showing is the
steady drill the men have received
in fire control, new method Of which
are being tried by the cavalry with
remarkable success.
Machine gun troops also are be-
ing drilled to use Their arms to the
beet advantage. Recently several
companies Of the Sixteenth Infantry
were brought north from FL VALID
and demonstrations of fire control
work was under the direction of
Captain f. S. Bowen, assisted by
Captain w. c. Short.
Among the most interesting ex--
peTlments now being conducted is
that in pistol firing by decathment
# cavalry, chosen at random. A
pistol board, which is conducting the
work, has evolved a unique lipe of
targetry worked by ropes and pull
leys, which fall flat when the cav
airy charge over them. The attempt
Is being made to evolve a system of
PISTOL firing while charging. At
Dro-ent the men are firing directly
ahead while leaning forward in their
iadles and holding their arms just
ahead to the right of their mounts
ears. Excellent results, it is said
have already been obtained.
When ammunition arrives another
interesting test will be made, that
of determining how effectually the
present three-inch field gun will de-
molish barbed wire ENGAGEMENTS,
trenches and bomb proofs. A line
Of Notifications has been construct
&c as nearly like those in Europe as
possible. The artillery will be a.
owed to work on these under con-
ditions that would obtain in actual
war and the results of their fire will
be noted.

Will The Pensacola Postoffice Ring

Concdent with the recently launched to
take from the people of Florida the right of selecting

Can be possible that the Postoffce Ring" is work
ing conjunction with those reactionary Democrats of
the state who have always opposed permitting the people

to suppose that its members would act similarly if repre-

PENSACOLA AND
PENSACOLIANS

Making a Platform for Himself
No surprise will be felt in this
state that at ustj what he considers
the psychological moment, Governor
Trammell should announce his adj
herance to the national prohibition
proposition, that is, the plan of sub
hitting, through resolutions of con-
gress, a prohibition amendment to
the legislatures of the various states
for adoption or rejection.
The governor has a very great
faculty for waiting until he is as
sured of which way the wind is blow
ing and then taking charge of the
gale. He probably figures that Flor
ida is ready for statewide prohibi-
ton movement for itself and that
that wave, if it eliminates, will also
carry himself to the goal of the
United States senatorship, which he
so earnestly desires.-Miami Herald.

DEAD BODY Of

Dead From Starvation
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 31.-A
party of searchers today found the
dead body of AL. George, a promi-
nent planter of Bib county, in a
ditch in the woods in the northern
part of the county. Georges head
was shot off and one arm missing.
The body was partly covered with
sticks and leaves.
George left home about two weeks
ago on hunting trip. He stated
that he was going to a point about
twenty miles from his home and that
he would be gone two days. After
five days a search was instituted
with the result that early this morn
ing his horse was found, tied to a
tree and dead from hunger and thirst.
Further search resulted in the find
ing of the body. The pockets were
rifed, his shot gun gone and every
evidence showed that he had been
murdered and robbed. The authori-
ties of Bibb county assert that they
are aware of the identity of the
slayer, that he is a white man and
robbery and revenge was the motive.
