WILLING MEN IN PORTO RICO.
of Method for Recruiting
Steyedore Regiment.

F. {. Roberts Of the committee of con-
ciliat;on, United States Department of
LABOR. and member of the subconl-
mittee Of the Council Of National De-
Tense. visited the Army tent at eth and
PENNSYLVANIA avenue yesterday and sug-
Rested to Lieut.. J. H. Mcintyre, in charge
Of recruiting in the District of Column
bta. a method by which the stevedore
regiment may be recruited to its full
strength within a short time.
Mr.. Roberts, who has just returned
from n trip through Porto Rico, stated
that there are thousands of colored
men on the island who are either out
of work or are making from 40 to 90
cents day. These men, he said. are
entirely willing to enlist in the United
states Army either on the line or as
steyedores. The latter course was sug
gested by Mr.. Roberts as the one he
deems the best on account of the fact
that the colored men of Porto Rico in
bulk have worked as stevedores for the
fruit and sugar companies located on
the island.
Mr.. Roberts suggested that Lieut.. Nc
Intyre write letter to Gen. Mccain ad-
yocating the opening of recruiting
station in Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON RIFLE CLUB
LEADS SMALL-BORE FIELD

The Washington Rife Club appears
to be in a fair way to annex the small
bore team championship of the United
States. Although it leads in the Ma
tional Rife Associations outdoor
small-bore match by only few points,
it has been shooting SO consistently
that no team has been able to oust it
from the lead since the first match.
No man on the team has been making
particularly high scores, but all have
been going along well and the team
average is a high one. At the close
of the sixth match the local organiza-
ton was in the lead by fourteen points
and from the scores turned in for the
last two shoots seems destined to hold
its place at the head of the list.
The total Of the Washington Rifle
Club for the seventh week of the So
yard match is 6.535. which leaves it
fifteen points ahead of its nearest
competitor. the Massachusetts Rife
Association of Boston, Mass. In the
seventh shoot the local men had a team
total of 949. The scores OF those who
shot in the seventh match, follow:

on all sides: they are going up every
Few hours. so that unless a man is per-
fectly temperate he is apt. when he
goes out in the morning. to imagine
that he has wandered into the wrong
place. Maj. Proctor has his men NOV
ing at fine gait in the constructive
work. He has had the carpenters d.
vided into groups and he keeps score
on the work done by these groups The
competition thus started and the re-
sultant ambition Of the men of one
group to do more work than the men
Of other groups are bringing crafty
ing results.
Many Regular Army men-in fact,
several hundred of them-are expected
at the camp within the next few days
to be 'non-coms" in the new Army.
Everybody who knows anything about
Army life knows how necessary it is
to have "non-coms' who know their
business from A to 2. The Army de-
pends upon them to a great degree
That is why an urgent invitation has
been extended to students at Fort Myer
who failed to get commissions to go to
the camp as 'non-coms" If they Wis
ualize the future they see what good
they will do themselves by accepting
''non-com" jobs.
Again. be 1t repeated, the men who
are most apt among the members of the
drafted Army will get such jobs in the
near future, with commissions awaiting
them later.
