MANL|KE TARGETS
New Kind of Military Problem
Is Providing Thrills Like
Real Thing.
TESTS OFFICERS AND MEN;
BY J. CROSBY MCCARTHY,
staff Correspondent.

SraH correspondent
LEON SPRINGS, Tex, Camp of the
District National Guard, December 10.
Many of the thrills of real warfare
are provided in combat problems in
which the men of the Sd District In
fantry were engaged yesterday. Armed
with ball ammur lion, they operated
against hidden enemy who was
maneuvering against them and MAX
ing attacks from the front and TANKS
whenever favorable opportunity pre-
sents itself. The problem was made more
realistic by the fact that the militia
men do not know when they will en-
gage the enemy or his location.
The enemy consisted of series of
silhouette targets the shape of Il man
and of olive drab color. They have
been set in position at numerous points
throughout a stretch of rugged hill
country that is unknown to the District
militiamen save for information gained
from their military maps.

Hike Back to Camp Wilson.

Plans are being discussed for the hike
back to Camp Wilson which the pro-
visionaI brigade is to make. 1t is IN
derstood the start from here will be
made tomorrow afternoon. and that rest
of several hours will be made at Nine
mile Hill. The remainder of the jour-
ney probably will be made at night, as
a night march is a part of the pro-
gram being followed. The District mi
litiamen are sending home as Christ

tletoe. The parasitic plant grows in
great quantities about here

The problem is one in which the milf
tary knowledge of the commander and
craftsmanship of his men have an equal
Importance.
The companies of the Sd District
, Regiment engaged in the combat prob
lens yesterday singly and as bat
talions. While body is sent
forward to engage the enemy the re-
manning force is kept in the rear and
does not learn the location of the tar

The District militiamen are engaging
IN the problems in heavy marching or
der. and when the enemy is engaged
they drop off their field packs, SO as
not to be hampered in their move
ments. The men have never particle
pated in combat problems of this kind
before. and the experience is of great
interest to them.

returns aforesaid | find that the en-
tire vote cast for the Office Of repre-
sentative in Congress by all politi-
cal parties in the state at the last gen
eral election 1914) was 235,702.
Five per cent of this total vote or
11,765 therefore represents the num-
Der of votes which IAN atIlliation Of
electors" had to cast at that election
to bring 1t within the statutes defni-
ton of political party"
BY further recourse to said cleo
ton returns l find that the Socialist
party polled for its candidate for
Congressman-at-large "in the several
districts" (the district in this in
stance understood to be the entire
state), 1884 votes, which number
is greater than five per cent Of the
entire vote cast for that Office in the
state"
Accordingly deem it my duty to
accord the Socialist party all the priv
lleges and rights OF a political party
as defined by section of chapter 26,
acts of 1915, and nominations made
by said party in conformity with said
chapter and PROPERLY certified to this
office will be received and disposed
of as the law directs.
The Socialist party has not at any
time since the passage of the primary
law been deprived of its legal status
as a political party. Your letter is
the first request have received from
a Socialist committee asking for def
mite Information on the subject.
No candidate paid fees or filed GER
titicates in the name of the Socialist
party prior to the primary election
held June 6, 1916, and for that rea-
son no Socialist ticket was demanded
for that election.

Association Affairs Showing a
Gratifying Condition o.
CupieS Convention.

The stock meeting Of the Pythian
Mutual Investment Association. of
the colored grand lodge which filled,
to the utter exclusion of all other bus
mess. the afternoon session of the
third day of the convention here was
by far more satisfactory In re-
suits obtained than any other that
has been held for many years.
This new awakening of interest
that is counted in dollars and cents
may chiefly be attributed to the in
defatigablc cnerby and persuasive
power of the grand lecturer, Sir
Knight NJ. T. Whittco, of Keystone,
editor Of the Mcdowell Times, a
weekly newspaper devoted to the
publishing OF general and race news
In his official visit to the various
lodges, he made prominent the neces-
sity of the Pythian rank and file in
vesting their savings in guilt edge
collateral.
The success of his campaign was
evidenced yesterday when, at the
rousing meeting over three hundred
shares of stock were sold.
Editor Whittico is also one of the
recent negro additions to the state
Republican committee. While he
halls from grand old Mcdowell coun-
ty. he represents the interests of the
1000 negroes of the state, and has
won the enviable reputation of being
fearless in the defense of all right
principles.
Grand Chancellor Wilson, president
of the investment association, is ex-
erting more than ordinary efforts to
make of this department an imper-
ishable monument to the thrift and
economic ability of his race.
In the management Of its affairs,
which often has been done at his own
personal sacrifice, his judgment has
been wise, his ideas conservative, and
his honesty unquestioned. His great
est ambition is to establish through
his association business enterprises
in the state for the benefit OF his race;
