DUMMIES OF ALLIES TARGET FOR
1EUTONS.
Figures Representing Soldiers Make Rifle
Gallery Popular at Germal Bazaar.

One of the most popular attractions at the
German Charity Bazaar III Madison Square
Garden is the shooting gallery. lnv"stlPa-
ton there yesterday showed that tins is be-
cause for 5 GEMS the marksm8n can take
from one to five shots at a wooden soldier
representing auy one of the allied nations,
except Serbia, Belgium or Montenegro. The
gallery is il the basement ON the Twenty
seventh Street side Of the Garden, and the
rattle of The rifles never seems TO cease. men
aud women standing two aud three III front
of the rifle counter waiting their chance TO
get a shot at the Frenchman, Anglishman,
Scolchmun, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Indl-
All, or Algerian figures that decorate the tar
get board.
There are also two lnrger figures that stand
out prominently, one on either side u The
Allied targets. One is Il German solder and
the other is supposed 10 represent one OF
Austria's fighting men. But hey are not
targets. They are Ist pleased ouiookers, as
one of The MAJ ksmoD who had gust shot the
Scotch figure through the head, explained
last night. There arc several targets III the
uniform of the British, French, and Russian
services. One Of the Russians has a crutch
under one arm and holds "a big walking stick
in the other, which would indicate that he
was convalesc ny from several bad wounds.
Across the breast Of this ii ure Is painted the
word "Hindenburg," supposedly to create
the impression that he was a Russian who
was badly banged up, but not killed, In one
of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's drives
into Russian territory.
In nearly every instance the buiIseye III
the target is the right eye Of the figure. IN
other words, every time the bell rings 1T
shows that one of the Allies has been shot
through the head. One of the mNrksmen
eaid last night that one of General Jotffe's
AlgeriaG ZouHves has been shot through the
head no less than 200 times il the last week.
A red-trousered Frencbman ha, been shot 10
pieces, while Que of the targets, which evil
IDENTITY was intended to represent a Russian,
has most of the head missing.
There is also d set of targets known as the
"Mixed Quartet" This is a series of heads
which. in the order of their placing, repre-
sent a Japanese, a Scotch Highlander, n
Russian, and a ne 70 soldier. OF these four
the japanese soldier appears to be the least
damaged as a result Of the ton days bonn
bardment to which lhe target board has been
subjected. The poor Scotchman, the Rus
sian, and the negro, however, are all ready
for the base hospital.
"Oh, do, let me JUST get JUST one shot az
that Russian" said a girl last night as she
put the rife to her shoulder and banged
away.
She missed the Russian and put a hole
through the chest of the Indian trooper
instead. Her escort, however, was a better
shot, and in three times up got three bulls
eyes in the head of the red-trousered
Frenchman.
sHa's o4ttin0 even for that affair at Yer
dun," whispered a neutral observer who WAS
watching the contest.
Another good shot that came along was a
uniformed German sailor who was said TO be
from one of the informed German ships. He
took five shots and at each Que got q bnlPseye !
and each time in the head of a different one
of the allied figures.
AS each marksman concluded his string
