Rife Shooting Again to Be-
come Important Factor
in World War
Get Thorough Training
Not to Place All Dependence
on Artillery and Bayonet
Fighting

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE. Aug. p by The Associated
Press. Convinced that craftsmanship
with the rife is not altogether lost
art. even if It has been somewhat neg
lectcd in these latter days Of war, the
commanders Of the American forces
now preparing in France FOR the battle
front are giving their men a thorough
course OF instruction in the school OF
rifle fire. 1t always has been a tradl-
ton among European armies that the
United States had the finest shooting
army in the world, no matter what
might be its shortcomings in other re-
spccts. This tradition the new Ameri-
can army hopes to keep alive, and there
is q general belief among the officers
Of the expeditionary force that the time
again will come when rife fire may be
Of the utmost importance.
The old regular British army, which
v;rtuallv was anhihilated in the first
six months of the war, also was hne
shooting army. and its ability with the
rifle cost the Germans dearly on many
occasions.
Rely on Big Guns
Ever since the battle Of the Somme,
more than a year ago, there has been a
tendency among the armies engaged IN
tho European conflict 10 regard the
rife merely as q staff for the bayonet
or as a frearm especially designed lot
sniping. Advancing infantrymen nave
been fought 10 rely first OF all upon
he protection Of an artillery barrage'
which moves fifty yards or so IN front
of them and is supposed to be OF sur
6cient intensity to keep any enemy
machine guns and gunners well below
Ground until the assaulting waves are
tight upon them. -.
Once in or near the enemy positions
infantrymcn have used bombs and bay
onets alone. with seldom a rife shot
heard. In other words, artillery bar
RACES. laid by guns far in the rear
have had the effect Of bringing infantry
lighting 70 quick hsnd-to-hand encoun-
ters which the technique OF modern war
mad discarded as obsolete until year
ago. These barrages have a double
purpose. acting as q shield of protec-
lion and also concealing the attacking
waves until the storming troops are
right up to the enemy's dugouts and
trench shelters.
Old Methods to Return.
There now is feeling, however, that
these tactics in an attack may not
always endure and that rife fire again
viii come into its own. Even the
Germans are adopting this modification
of tactics, according to prisoners who
saw that their more recent training
calls for mach time at rife practise
and each soldier must remain before
the target until he makes satisfac-
tory score.
Both rife practice and machine-g gun
work appeal TO the American soldiers
Il is a phase of training which which
thew ar particularly keen, and already
thew have been making some marvellous
scores with both weapons.

IL Seized in Strike
Of Uniform Makers
Clash With New Workmen at
Red Bank IN. j. Plant
Almost a Riot

RED BANK, N. j., Aug. 25.-New
workmen arrived to-day at the Sig
mund Eisner Company factory, where
army uniforms are made, and were
greeted with jeers by the strikers,
who went out because of alleged un-
sanitary working conditions and in
sufficient pay. After brief but vivid
description OF what the new men
might expect to find within the
strikers attempted more violent meth
DDS of discussion.
The police interviewed, and there was
almost a riot. A dozen strikers were
arrested. Three of the prisoners made
counter charges of assault against
Matthew w. Greig, superintendent Of
the factory, and accused other en-
ployes Of the company Of carrying con-
cealed weapons. The counter charges
were dismissed.
A striker picked a fight with Joseph
J. Lessig, foreman Of the cutting de-
partment, while he was on his way
home from work, and laid him out
with a blow on the jaw. Oscar A.
Ruthberg, who was seen running away
after the fight, and was identified by
the foreman as his assailant, was
caught by a motorcycle patrolman.
The varying opinions regarding the
merits of the strike are eXempliiied by
the action taken to-day by Moses l.
Johnson and Edward w. Wise, justices
Of the peace. The former released five
Of the strikers in 500 bail and the
latter fined Sol Kahan. an organizer for
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Of
America, and Sidney Cutler, striker
who was arrested for disorderly con-
duct. $50 apiece and sentenced them to
three weeks in the county Jail. Their
attorney announced that he would ap-
peal.
Sidney Hiliman, president Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America, expressed his satisfaction
yesterday at the creation of a board of
control by the War Department 10
maintain industrial standards. The
appointment of the board of control, F"
he said, ais substantiation of the
charges of sweatshop manufacture of
uniforms which were made by our or
ganization, by the Mayors committee
on national defence, by the National
Consumers League and by other or
CARNATIONS"

POINTS TO POWER OF
 PRESS DURING WAR

between nations and there was no man or woman in the empire who was not doing something either to win or lose the war. That was the way to look at it. A distinguished man recently said 10 him that he estimated that in this war 25 per cent of the weight was rep resented by military strength and 75 per cent by things which were not mili- tary character, such as agriculture, shipping, food, and diplomacy
 That brings me to my last point" !" said General Robertson, that is the power and responsibility of the press today. We are fighting a war upon the issue of which depends our imperial existence In order to win this war, we must put in all the resources of the nation. There is no more pow erful agency for insuring this than the press. l want the press to get not only that 25 per cent, but the 15 per cent. We don't want flaming headlines, ex- aggerations and so forth. We want consistent and courageous direction of public opinion into the right channels. We want to face the facts and state them and We want to avoid at the same time .1iscouraging our own people and encouraging the enemy
 T think 1 may say truly that in this connection the editors and press in general have co-opeTated most cordially ard most efficiently"

LONDON, May 12-General Sir William R. Robertson. chief of the inn perial staff at army headquarters, de- clared in an address tonight that in the last five or six weeks the British had expended 200000 tons of ammuni ton in France alone. He was speaking at the anniversary dinner of the news paper patriotic fund.
 Referring to the British soldiers who first went to France, General Robert son said they were battered, bruised and sometimes beaten to their knees, but they were never beaten in spirit, and under the guidance of Field Mar shal Lord French they rendered pos sible the success since achieved by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig. He emphasized that every war had it's own reouliarities and that the war was so different from it's precedors as the present one.
 Airplanes had entirely changed the character of the operations; enormous masses of. artillery rendered prepara- tion for battle a long process and re- quired an elaborate system of trans port. He said 50.000 tons of stone weekly were required to mend the roads,
 The greatest peculiarity of the war was the colossal numbers engaged. It was not war between enemies but war

LONG STEP TOWARD
 AN ABSOLUTELY DRY
 NATION |S TAKEN
TRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The first legislative step toward the conservation of the nations food resources and a long advance toward an absolutely dry United States, was taken tonight by the senate in approving. 3S to 32, an amendment to the administration espionage bill forbidding during the var the use of grain in the manufac- ture of intoxicating liquors.
 By a majority of one vote the sen ate also threw out of the bill the ad- ministration's press censorship section, as was done in the house. This action is expected to throw the censorship fight into conference, where the infIu- ence of the administration can be brought to bear more directly. What will be the outcome no senator would predict with confidence tonight
 The prohibition amendment was adopted under a rule limiting debate sharply, and there were only brief speeches on each side. Just previously the senate had voted down. 47 to 25, proposal to forbid the sale of .intoxi- cants during the war.
 Effective September l. the amend ment is calculated to confine the sale and consumption to whiskey and other grain liquors already in stock. and to R depend upon other materials for theiI main constituents. Another oppor- tunity to vote upon it will be offered when the senate takes the bill witt the amendment from the committee of the whole, but opponents of the pro- hlbitory provision are not confident that they will be able to overturn to- days action
 Estimates during the debate were that at least $200,000, 900 in annual in- ternal revenue would be lost if the amendment stands. Elimination of the 1 press censorship section ended a long and bitter fight The vote was 39 to 3S. Opportunity will come also for an other vote on this section. and the administration is expected to make an effort to have the senate reverse itself
 The prohibition amendment proposed by Senator Cummins, republican ol Iowa, reads as follows
 That on and after Septebmer 1, 1917 during the period of the war with the Imperial German government, it shal be unlawful to use or employ directly or indirectly any cereal, grain, sugar or syrup in the production of intoxi tCOntinued on Papa Twol

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

CHICAGO, May 12-At the close of a day such as the Chicago Board of Trade never saw before. traders were asking enc another what meas ures would be taken, if any, to check the sensational upward flight of wheat prices. And in other markets Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis and lesser boursesT-the same query was being put There was no an sWer. save in the resolutions ot such bodies as the Illinois council of de- fense. which urged congress tc take rigid control of the whole food and basic commodities situation
 May wheat was legislated out of existence by the board directors as a patriotic duty and because it's sky rocketing course might inspire run away market. As an arrester of advances the move failed signally At the opening prices for July and September options hesitated a few eents below the previous close. The strip of blackboard where the May wheat ordinarily was quoted was Hank, but in a short time the ad- joining columns began to boom. When the closing gong sounded at noon July had shoWn net rise of 33&c to S2.75 with final figures anging from $273 to $2.75 and Sep temher an even more startling iump of 2C to 20 cents with last sales varying from $2.44 to $246
 The course of the market was best visualized in the smoking room of the board where quotations from the markets of the world are posted. Tn front of the section devoted to wheat . round and imperturbable young man in gray alpaca office coat, in great sweeping numerals so those in the far reaches of the room might sec through the haze of smoke, was making up the prices
 There were those watching the blackboard who saw more in the figures than the cold record of the law of supply and demand To then, 1t told the story of stricken worlds demand for bread the cry of desper- ation from the ruined cities and the wasted farms of Europe, the plea of emaciated families and the savage food of soldiers.
