AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, Friday, Aug. 24.-Convinced
that craftsmanship with the rife is no.
altogether a lost art, even if it has
been somewhat neglected in these
latter days of war. the commanders OF
the American forces now preparing in
France for the battlefront are giving
their men a thorough course of in
struction in the school of rife fire.
Ii always has been tradition among
European armies that the United
States had the finest shooting army
in the world, no matter what might
be its shortcomings in other respects.
This tradition the new American
army hopes to live up to, and there
is a general belief among the officers
of the expeditionary force that the
time will come when rife fire may
again be Of the utmost Importance.
The old British regular army, which
virtually was annihilated in the first
six months Of the war, was also q
fine shooting army, and its ability
with the rife cost the Germans dear
ly on many occasions.
Ever since the battle of the Somme,
more than year ago, there has been
a tendency among the armies en-
gagged in the European conflict to re-
gard the rife merely as staff for the
bayonet, or as a firearm especially
designed for shipping Advancing in,
fantrymen have been taught to rely
first OF all upon the protection of an
artillery barrage, which moves so
yards or so in front of them, and is
supposed to be of sufficient intensity
to keep any enemy machine guns and
gunners well below ground until the
assaulting waves are right upon them.
Once in or near the enemy posi-.
tions, infantrymen have used bombs
and bayonets alone, with seldom a
rifle shot heard. In other words, ar
tillery barrages, laid by guns far in
the rear, have had the effect of bring.
ing infantry fighting to quick hand.
to-hand encounters which the techni-
que of modern war had discarded as
obsolete until a year ago. These bar
RACES have double purpose, acting
as shield of protection and also con-
cealing the attacking waves until the
storming troops are right up in the
eDemy's dugouts and trench shelters.
There now is a feeling, however,
that these tactics in an attack may
not always endure and that rife fire
will again come into its own. Even
the Germans are adopting this modi.
f1cation of tactics, according to pris.
oners, who say that their more recent
training calls for much time at rife
practise and that each soldier must
rem9in before the target until he
makes satisfactory score.
Both rife practise and machine gun
work appeal to the American soldiers.
1t is a phase of training about which
they are particularly keen, and al
ready they have been making some
marvellous scores with both weapons.

ARMY INTERESTED
IN SUCCESSOR TO
GENERAL SCOTT
Army Chief of Staff, Who Re-
tires for Age This Month,
May Remain in Service

WASHINGTON. d. G.. Sept. 10
With Maj.-Gen. Hugh l.. Scott. chief
of staff of the army, reaching retire
ment age this month, speculation has
begun at the war department as to
whether he will be retained on active
service under the wartime emergency
provision of the law
Secretary Baker declined .0day TO
say what course he contemplated.
There are indications, however, that
General Scott will pass on 10 The re-
tired list, although he may he asked
to continue some special work, In
this event, Maj.-Gen. Tasker II. Bliss,
assistant chief of staff, may be APP
pointed chief of staff, although he, too.
will reach the retirement age in a
few months, and probably would be
succeeded by a younger officer.
1t is known that General Scott would
welcome an active command in tie
field. In view of his services it ap-
pears probable that an effort viii be
made to crafty his wishes, should 1t
be determined to relieve him CO his
staff post,
The pressure upon the chief of staff
will become increasingly heavy, as
American forces are holding portion
of the western front.

proceeded to France with his regi-

Chapelle he was wounded in the head
by shrapnel splinters. He was in the
hospital six weeks, but was back in
action in time to have a part in the
taking 90 the famous Hohenzollern
redoubt. He also fought through the
battle of the Somme, and at Gourme-
court was again wounded, this time

told him how proud he was TO shake

THIRD TRAINING CAMP
UNDER CONSIDERATION

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Enlisted men
in the national army are to be given
special opportunities to become Off
GERS. Secretary Baker announces that
the establishment Of a third series
of officers training camps is under
consideration and that men selected
under the draft will be extended such
opportunities to enter that a majority
Of those enrolled probably will be
from the ranks.
This policy will be adhered to in
all training camps opened during the
war. How many more camps will be
opened is not known, but it is q part
of the general plan to continue the
making of officers by special training
as long as It is necessary 10 continue

moving TROOPS
ENORMOUS TASK

Some idea of the enorInity of the
task of moving the great bodies oil
United States troops to be raised may
be gained from the following figures
6229 cars are necessary to transport
an army of $4,000 men. These cars
would be made up into 366 trains with
as many locomotives. There would
have to be Ellis passenger coaches
3S5 baggage, 1866 box, 1899 stock and
775 flat cars. r..
This quantity of equipment repre-
sents Z per cent of the locomotives
owned by American railroads, AZ pei
cent of their passenger cars and z
per cent of their full equipment, says
Popular Science monthly.
A field army consists OF three In
fantry divisions, one cavalry division
and brigade, technically known az
a brigade of field army troops-troops
auxiliary to the infantry and cavalry
divisions. -. ... i.
Railroad equipment required to
move various organizations of the
