German Paper Urges Prohibition In
Army and Navy.

lBy Associated PreBH.)
Berlin, Dec. 17.-Prohibition OF
duelling in the German army and
navy is urged by the newspaper
Germania, In commenting upon the
order issued by Emperor Charles Of
Austria, forbidding the practice in
the Austro- Hungarian army and
navy.
This inhibition, says Germania,
will awaken an echo OF satisfaction
in the widest circles in Germany and
will give renewed expression to the
repeated command that competent
officials put an end to this duelling
nonsense in Germany. Nothing can
be achieved with half measures, and
nothing short OF an order prohibiting
duelling without restrictions or reser-
vations will prevent further sacri-
fees through this antiquated method
OF restituting honor.

SOME RIFLE FIRING KINKS
There Are a Thousand Things Not
Mentioned in "DrilI Regulations"
That Recruit Must Learn.

The average recruit who starts in
Mt West Point knows as much about
the fine points of rifle firing as q
longshoreman about flying. First he
masters the elementary steps-the
manual of arms and the correct firing
positions, says the Popular Science
Monthly Then he must learn a thou
sand facts not mentioned in the drill
regulations" Among the rifle kinks,
for instance, is the smoking of the
glass rifle sights for work in the sun.
BY simply holding the sights over the
flame of a match-or, better, over an
alcohol flame-a light layer of lamp
black Is spread over the sight which
enables the soldier to fire even when
he is directly facing the sun. And
reflected glare is eliminated so that he
can work without danger to his eyes.
Another kirk is the doubling up of
the ordinary rifle strap in order to use
1t to obtain sling-grip. BY making
the sling short enough, it Is possible
for the left hand to obtain a viselike
grip on the rifle This helps consid-
erably in steadylng 1t.

Only 80 Per Cent.

Washington.-On account of com.
bination of reasons, and especially be-
cause of lack of transportation facili.
ties and winter clothing, the quota of
drafted men of many states that were
to have gons into camp on October 8
have been cut down. In the case Of
Ohio this order has been modified so
sthat 80 per cent instead of 40 per cent
will be called out on October 8, and
the Provost Marshal General has sent
telegram to Governor Cox notifying
him Of that fact. Still deeper cuts are
made in Indiana, Kentucky and West
Virginia. In each of those states the
quota called out on October 3 will be
20 per cent. In no instance will me-
groes be ordered out in the October
call. With this additional per cent in
camp, Ohio will have rs per cent of
her quota in the service. The remain
ing rs per cent will go into camp as
rapidly as the Quartermaster's Depart
ment is able to take care of it in a
comfortable way.
