Ever since the war begun | have
wanted to do my bit So when |
moved to Oakland found my oppor.
tunity.
Goat Island is 4 small island lying
in San Francisco Bay midway be-
tween Oakland and San Francisco.
Here Uncle Sam has placed about
1000 men who have enlisted in the
navy. Il is very healthy and beauti-
full spot. Almost an ideal place to
train men.
A city OF brown tents lines the hill
side. Fortified with a special pass. |

several hundred of the boys
Every evening they come to the hut
TO write their love letters, read books
and magazines. and be amused with
moving pictures. etc.
A fine, noble group of men they are.
That young man was the prince pal
of High School in Georgia; was
matrlculating for Johns Hopkins med
ical university. Gave 1t up to enlist,
BY his side stands a lad who just fin
ished high school in North Carolina.
He is at the island only two days.
Openly he confesses he was an only
son and is so homesick Those two
on the left gave up. fine business
careers when the fires burned and
Uncle Sam called. So as | call the
roll. i am more than ever impressed
with the glory of American youth,
tested by these sacrifcial fires.
My church eagerly accepted my sug.

News Times Special Service:
ELKHART. Ind. oct. At a
meeting of the council an ordinance
was passed appropriating SL32S.O7
for the engineering fund to make
up a deficiency in that fund and
$500 each for miscellaneous, and
the city hall funds. to cover de
ficiencies in these funds. There
was no opposition 10 the ordinance
which had been approved by the
ordinance committee before the
meeting.
Councilman Schwietzer said that
he wished 20 know why the street
rails can not be repaired along W.
Beardsley av He said that the
council had been making street re
pairs all summer and that he
thought the railway company should
be compelled 10 repair their end of
the paving and the street car
tracks. He said that if the coun-
ell did not have the power TO make
the repairs come from the street
car company, he wished that they
would repair the rails and streets
themselves. City Atty. Hall said
that the city could force the street
car company to make the repairs
and that the council had the pow
er TO pass an ordinance forcing the
street car company to make the re-
pairs but that II was up TO the
board of works TO look after the
repairs.
Mr.. Schweitzer also said that
Bower St was in a terrible condi-
ton. r. Reid said that the
street car company had boy re-
pairing the pavement and rails
but that the boy did not know any
thing about the repairing either
one, and that he spent most Of his
time talking 10 the people along
the street.
Mr.. Hall said that he advised the
council TO adopt a resolution di-
recting the board of works to see
that the repairs are made. After
this a heated discussion took place.
Some of the councilmen were in
favor of passing a resolution to
have street car company make the
repairs, while others said that ac-
cording to the franchise, the street
car company was supposed to keep
up their end of the repairs. Coun-
Gilman MinniX said that il was up
to the board and if they did not
see that it was done ne advised the
city TO get a board that would get
the repairs. 1t was finally decided
TO have the board at the request
of a resolution, look after the mat
ter. Then there was an argument
whether TO request the repairs be
made or whether they should en-
force the making of the repairs,

Fl Tigre Mine Is

DOUGLAS, June 20.-Because there appeared to be no prospect of set ting the strike which had been in progress 10 days at the Fl Tigre mine, 65 miles southeast of Douglas, all American employees of the company were ordered this side of the interna- tional boundary, according to employees who reached here today. The depart ment heads were supposed to leave the mine late today, being the last Americans to depart, they said. Sev- eral women were among those arriv- ing today. There has been no disor- der because of divided feeling among the 800 strikers. While all miners went on strike only about half the employees belonged to the union, and they acted as a restraint on the more radical element.

MANY NEW METHODS OF USING MACHINE
 GUNS ARE APPLIED
Wicked Weapons of Modern Warfare Now Adjusted So As To Be Used For Direct And Indirect Fire On En- emy.
lRr ReYiew Leased Wirel.

BEHIND THE LINES IN FRANCE,
 June S.-Use of the machine gun as
 a weapon for offensive operations anG
 for indirect fire by elevating the guns,
 so that the bullets will fall into the
 trenches of the enemy, is one of the recent developments Of warfare.
 This change in the method of using the machine gun has been brought about within a year. It shows, say the British officers, the rapidity with which methods of fighting are being altered and that If capable officers were to be sent to the front flom America the systems they learned might be out of date before the troops they were to teach arrived in France. Less than a year ago the machine gun was regarded primarily as a weapon of direct fire, that is, for moving down an advancing enemy. It was thus chiefly defensive method and its usefulness was limited to the rather rare periods when the enemy was ac- tually attempting to attack.
 Methods Changed.
 But roday the machine gun, though retaining its importance in this re- spect, has become still more weapon of indirect fire, and by far. the greater proportion of machine gun casualties nowadays are caused through this use of the weapon. In one highly valued type of so-called indirect fire, a ma chine gun is trained by day on a stretch of road or communications which the enemy is using at night for bringing up supplies and reinforce ments
 The machine gun tripod carefully is l adjusted to command this road and stakes are placed so that the bullets can be sprayed over the road Then, !. at night, although the road is invisible, l the machine gun is turned on at Ill., tervals of perhaps an hour, sweeping the road clear of any enemy supply columns that may be there and in ef- feet making the use of that road inn possible at night
 Training Is Severe.
 As in the case of the machine gun, evolution is constantly in progress in the use of the bayonet, in bombing, in trenching, in sapping and in counter attack. Nowhere, say army officers, can the latest developments of each of these specialties be taught so well as in the training camps just behind the trenches where specialists direct from yesterdays fighting are at hand to in- struct the novice.
 Another valuable feature of the camp at the front is that there recruits are brought rapidly, almost into the atmosphere of modern warfare, so that when a man is finally drafted into a front unit he finds nothing particularly strange to him. No matter how well American troops may be trained in the United States they would find the melee of actual battle psychologically very try ing. And war experts no longer laugh at psychology. "The training of the mind for surprises and novelties of the battlefield is an important step in the psychological side of training" say he authorities.
