American Marksmen Take Course
Which Requires Weeks Of
Close Application.
BY JUNIUs b. WOOD.

Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1917.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, December 24.-"Sniping" is
no longer the haphazard picking off of
an occasional enemy who has care
lessly exposed himself, but is a scien-
tifically conducted phase Of modern
warfare. A recent visit to one of the
sniping schools of the British army was
a revelation. Five American officers
were there receiving instruction, SO
that later they could train the keenest
of their marksmen along the same line.
That the course requires weeks of the
closest application and strenuous work
gives some indication of its compre-
hensiveness.
The instruction is divided into three
branches-sniping, observation and re-
connaissance. 1t may be comparatively
easy for an expert rifle shot to sit at
a loophole and pick off q head which
site trench He must also learn how
to make observations systematically.
All days from many posts unseen eyes
are watching opposite trenches. Each
man has his own segment.
Bobs Up for a Peek.
The silent British trenches seem de-
serted German cautiously bobs up
for a peek. a single shot cracks and he
falls back with a hole in his head Not
a shot is fired unless the man firing is
reasonably sure of getting his man
That is for moral effect" explained
an officer. THE enemy. once convinced
that the moment he puts his head up
he will be killed. fears to look There
is something uncanny about the silent
trenches in which eyes never close and
from which sudden death comes"
There are ingenious devices by which
the pupil, after he has learned their
uses. Is able to pick out with mathe-
matical certainty the location of an
enemy sniper machine gun which fires
single bullet at his trench. Once that
is done that sniper's hours are num-
bered. Methodically every sign of &C
tivity behind the enemy lines Is re-
ported and arranged by the intelligence
section.
Shippers use a special bullet which
pierces an ordinary steel helmet Just
as an ordinary bullet pierces piece Of
paper. The Germans also have that
type of ullet. The Germans use Sec

mony between the union and non-union

save money and provide for his family
The witness said he had not sought

ton, he said. He said he was on picket

mony hitherto presented by company

SIX-YEAR-OLD A PATRIOT.
Probably Youngest Person to Inves
in a Liberty Bond.

real patriot has come to light in
Washington.
Although only six years old and just
out of the kindergarten school, he has
subscribed to a liberty loan bond. HIS
subscription, which was for fifty
dollar bond, was made through The
Star. He lives on 18th street north
west and is probably the youngest per-
son to help Uncle Sam by subscribing
to a liberty bond
What makes this sale the more
patriotic is the fact that this young
man procured this bond with pennies
and nickels he has been saving since
his first birthday. and with which he
is building fund to pay his own way
through college.
He says he is to small to fight, but
being none tho less patriotic, he wants
to help Uncle Sam pay the soldiers
and feed the poor children OF Belgium,
SO the only course open to him was to
buy liberty bond.

WAR TAX BILL REDUCED
ABOUT NINE MILLIONS
Senate Committee Cuts Manufactur-
ers' Tax on Certain Articles-Pat-
emit Medicine Levy Reduced.

The House war tax bill was decreased
about 100000 more today by the SEN
ate finance committee in deciding to
reduce the manufacturers tax on ath-
lctic goods. patent medicines. per-
fumeries and cosmetics from to :
per cent.
Rates on distilled spirits. malt
liquors. wines and soft drinks. raising
were nnalIy approved by the commit
tee virtually as drafted by the House.
The committee also ratified Its former
tentative approval of amendments by
Senator Gore of Oklahoma. placing
prohibitory taxes upon cereals used in
manufacturing distilled spirits for
beverage purposes, and also prohibit
ing Importation of such beverages.
House Rates Retained.
The House rates of 1920 per gallon on
distilled spirits and $2.75 a barrel on malt
prob bitory tax upon new manufacture OF
distilled spirits the $500 rate should apply
almost exclusively to spirits already man
ufactured and withdrawn from bonded
warehouses.
Reduction OF the tax on patent medi-
cines involves a revenue, loss Of more
than s5.600.000, and at the new rate OF
per cent will now include about 3d.
sec, 900 instead of ss.5o0.000. Patent
medicines. the committee believed, are
the poor mans medicines to great
degree.
TIE reduction in the rate on athletic
goods will reduce prospective revenues
from that source from $2.ooo,ooO to
1896. 900.
