of every civilian to know how to handle
a gun, not merely to know how to shoot
straight, but how to care for the mech
anism.
Militarsm will not follow in the
course of the training of citizens in rife
shooting. Efficiency in the possible
work of soldier does not constitute
the slightest menace to the free insti-
tutions of the country. The work at
Winthrop this season will make better
citizens, besides laying foundation for
a country wide instruction of civilians
in the use of military weapons
The most liberal support should he
given to this training of citizens in
craftsmanship by the government de

attended the organization efforts
should demonstrate sufficiently to Con
gress and the administrative officers that
there is the keenest interest in this sub

A Ridiculous Suggestion.

Scarcely helpful to the solution of the
problem arising from the dispatch of
American troops into Mexico in pursuit
of Villa is the suggestion of a sub sec
retary of foreign affairs at Mexico City
that the American punitive expedition
consist of but 900 cavalrymen, and
that its scope be limited TO forty miles
Considering that many more than 1000
of our troops are now on Mexican soil
and that they have penetrated several
hundred miles into the interior, and
that owing TO the handicaps laid upon
them by the Mexican governments re-
strictions il has been necessary to ac-
company the actually pursuing force
with infantry and artillery to protect
the lines of communication. this propo-
sition for small flying column work.
ing in radius of forty miles is pre-
posterous. Such offerings from an off
cial of the Mexican government must
be regarded as addressed solely to the
Mexican people, without any particular
purpose to reduce the friction already
created.

Rifle Practice.

Next Monday the rife practice at the
Winthrop, Md, range will begin, to try
out the members of the numerous local
rife clubs recently organized in Wash
ington. So successful has been the work
of forming these clubs that the present
problem is to provide accommodations
for all of them at the range. Yet a
carefully devised system has been ar
ranged that will give each of the sew
eral thousand members two or perhaps
three visits TO the targets during the
season.
The rapidity with which the rife club
idea spread in the government depart
ments and through various organiza-
tions in this city attests to the eager
ness of the average citizen to equip him
self as potential factor in the ma
tional defense. Rifle practice is more
than sport. If this country is to be
maintained on basis of strength for
self protection it is practically duty
