madness and that the Russians have devised new tactics which are em- ployed not to press home an assault but to advance a line of skirmishers rapidly across the fighting zone before the actual charge is started.
 The role of the cavalry is played when the infantry lines reach point some 800 yards from the Austro-Ger- man trenches. A swarm of cavalry is widely extended and then flung forward through the intervals of the infantEy lines. The horsemen dart forward at headlong speed. Soon they Alag themselves to the ground and open a rapid fire against the enemy. The cossack horses are trained to participate in this maneuvre and lie down at the word of command and form a living breastwork for the riders. Under cover of the heavy fire from the dismounted horsemen, the infantry lines advance across the intervening country.
 MeE or horses, maddened by ex- citement often refuse to halt at the
 destined position but tear on against the trenches and entangIements in m unpremeditated charge
 The cossaks are being largely used
 n attempts to force slightly guarded
 lVer crossings though the Russian
 pioneers have devised new scheme or the crossing of the river where ! nore resistance is looked for. Long lehder rafts are moored along the )anks of the narrow rivers with which the swampy country is inter- sected, concealed by overhanging bushes. At the proper moment the upstream end of each raft is released and the current swings it across the rlVer forming series of narrow bridges for storming parties

UNDER AMUSEMENT
Justice Arnold Takes Matter of Poll
Tax Lists Under Considera-
ton.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. 1S.--After hear
ing the testimony on the charge
against lanes Y. Trehy, clerk OF the
Corporation Court. of failing to place
in the hands of the city sergeant with
in the time prescribed by law. certt-
fed copies of the list of those who
have paid their poll taxes. Police
Justice John NJ. Arnold yesterday took
the case under Amusement.
IN a warrant sworn out by o. L.
Shackelford, Commonwealth's At
torney, Mr.. 'frehy was. charged with
failing to place certified copies Of the
lis, Of those who have paid their poll
taxes as required by the Constitution
in order to qualify them to vote in tho
June election, In the hands of the
sheriff within ten days after the list
was turned over to MIR. Trehy by the
city treasurer.
The testimony was that Tho list had
been turned over to Mr.. Trehy by the
treasurer January %. and that the
certified copies had not Deen placed
in the hands OF the sergeant for post
ing at the voting precincts up 10 yes
terday Mr. Trehy admitted that the
lists had not been gotten out within
the limit prescribed by law. but said
that he had exercised all possible dill
igence in having the work done. The
printer with whom he had placed the
contract stated that working night and
Gay he had beer unable TO complete
the lists. He said that Mr. Trehy had
impressed upon him the urgency OF
the work but that it was not pos
sible to finish in time.

was that the question of intent did not
enter in the case, as the statute made
no exceptions Mr.. Trehy said that
there had been no negligence or care
lessness on the part of his office in
handling the lists and that the physt-
cal inability to have the work finished
IN 1 me should be sufficient for his dis
mlssal.
The fae is from $50 TO $1,000, as
prescribed by the statute.

has been sent to Senator E e.

Senator e. C. Mathews,
Richmond, Va
Sir am writing you in behalf OF
my race to request that you intro
duce bill which will call for the or
ganization of one or more regiments
of state militia in the State Vir-
GINA / myself and the majority
of my race feel. that as the negro pays
taxes and votes and makes up large
proportion of the population of tfi3
country, that il not more than right
that he should be trained in the arts
OF war and enter into the preparedness
program now about to be adopted.
There is no doubt in my mind that
in case this country ever becomes In
VOWED in war with foreign country,
that the United States Government
would expect the negro TO do his part.
The negro will do his part. but Ii In
only fair that he should receive adj
vance training along military lines in
order that he will be of some use 10
his country and not a draw back,
which he will be unless he is trained
in times of peace.
If you are unable to draft this bill
at this time. | would suggest the mat
ter be taken up with the AdJutant-
General in order that reserve lists
could be gotten up in different COM
munities with the names OF those who
could be called on, and who would
respond Immediately in case of need.
"A reply to the above would be APP
preciated at your earliest convenience,
Respectfully,
