PA. TROOPS TO
MARCH ESQ MILES
Will Go on Two Weeks Hike;
Another Sham Battle to Be
Staged

FL Paso. Texas. Sept 10. - Colonel
George Moseley. chief of staff, detach-
ed from the regular army to instruct
the Seventh division in its training at
Camp Stewart, has announced that he
has completed plans for the two
weeks hike of the Pennsylvania troops
which will be held some time during
the early part of October. Every unit
of the entire division will participate
in the hike. which will be over a
route of about $50 miles through the
State of New Mexico.
Colonel Mosely announced that
within few days he intended riding
over the route of the hike to draw a
map of the country and secure the
location of water holes and ascertain
where he can obtain food supplies.
1t will be the largest movement of
the troops in maneuver practice ever
held on the border. September 1880
another mimic battle will be staged
by the Seventh division under instruc-
tion of Colonel Moseley, who is now
working out the problem.
The battle will be fought in the
mountains, a new country to the
PennsylVanians, who have heretofore,
fought their engagements near Pancho
and Tobin. The division will remain
away from the camp over night.

Russian Tactics Against
Austrians Are Without
Precedent; Kill Own Men

! Vienna, Sept. 20.-(Corresponde
OF the Associated Press) - The Rus
sian offensive against the Austro-
Hungarian troops, is being conducted
according to Austrian officers returned
| from the front, with tactics that hard
ly have precedent in the history OF
the wars of the world.
These tactics are, briefly, to annihi-
late the Austrians by forcing Russian
soldiers to advance in their own artil-
lery hre, drawing the Austrians from
their bomb-and shell-proof shelters
into hand-to-hand combat, and then
, moving down both Austrians and
Russians by a whitening drumfire.
Great Russian losses, it is claimed, are
due to this method of warfare.
The Russian method of attack in
the Bukowina and Wolhynia, the Aus
trians say, consists of artillery prep
aration lasting from "a to As hours.
Then come the first Russian infantry
troops in from six to fourteen rows,
driven forward by Russian machine
guns and by Cossacks armed with the
dreaded "Nagaikas' or lead-tipped
whips.
AS they advance the Russian artil-
lery fire abates somewhat, but between
1t and the Austrian fire from 40 to so
per cent. of the first troops some
times reach the trenches. Their ar
rival naturally forces the Austrians to
abandon their shelters, and as soon as
they do so the Russian drumfire be-
gins again.
In both the Bukowina and the VOL
hynia offensives 1t is estimated tina,
the Russians use up about two million
shells every twenty-four hours-sheIls
OF Russian, Japanese and American
make, and thrown from every caliber
of gun. including naval pieces appar-
emily dismounted from warships.

The most glaring examples of
nepotism are found in the House, and
more poor relations have been taken
care of in the House than in the Sem
ate, simply because there are more
representatives than there are Sena-
tors. Take Illinois for example, Rep
resentative Tavenner's sister-in law is
his stenographer. Representative
Stones brother is clerk IN the House

also in the document room. Indiana

WOMEN POLICE O X

London, Sept 20. - Women police
are making good according to the
chief officer of the Women's Police
Force. They are employed in muni-
ton factories very largely to search
the ingoing and outgoing women
workers for contraband. keep o"d"r
in trains, to inspect passports and to
$40 weekly with railway fares, SER
geants receive eleven dollars and in
spectors twelve dollars. The chief
officer says school teachers are par
ticularly wanted for the force as their
training fits them admirably for po-
lice duties which require good temper,
patience and tact with firmness.
The girls in the factories appear
to be very fond of the women police
and the government are asking for
more to be appointed at various NUM-
ton works throughout the country.

USING THE LEFToyERs

Any. odd morsels of asparagus left
over should always be folded into an
omelet. The same thing can be done
with bits of old moiled ham or green
peppers; only these should be
minced.
A good dish is parsnip stew, made
of layers of sliced raw parsnips, po-
tatoes and salt pork in an earthen
dish. Season with salt and pepper
cover with broth and cook for an hour
in the oven.
The outside leaves of the lettuce
can be shredded with scissors.
