gives an idea OF the process of their

The routine life Of the South
Carolina Coast Artillery companies
now in training at Fort Moultrie is one
full day after another. Very little
leave is given the men and plenty OF
practice in maneuvering the big guns
is a part of the days work. Some OF
the men live in the barracks, but the
majority of them live in tents. On
of the features of this life is the
imaginary night attack; which the
commanding officer pretends is tan
ing place every ADV and ;hen. When
the alarm is sounded the men rush
into ether clothes anl make a cash
for their posts, in some instances d
mile away from the tents. One man
had to run barefotted and with only
a pair of trousers on for mile to MS
rost, only to limp back as soon as all
were in their positions, at a. m. OF
thereabouts. This kind of work is 70

Washington. Aug. 24.-The United

So far as the military situation ls
concerned, the secretary indicated
that he felt little concern over the
advance on Riga by the Germans, re-
calling that the place had been evac-

BAKER WATTS FOR
REPORT on RIOTS
Silent on Policy Of Training Addition
al Negro Troops in Southern
States

Washington, Aug. 24.-Secretary
Baker will take no action en the riot
ing in Houston, Tex, in which negro
regular troops were concerned, un:ii
the report of the board !of inquiry int,
the incident has been receiga3. WHAT
ever S done, he said late today, would
be based upon the findings of that
board.
Mr. Baker would not discuss in any
way the question Of the policy OF
training additional negro troops n
Southern States. Senators and mem-
bers of congress from Texas and 9TH
or states in the South called on him
today to discuss the subJec,.
Only a brief report on the Houston
incident had come tonight from Ma
jor General Parker, commanding me
Southern Department, and officials
professed ignorance of General PARK
er's order transferring the troops IN
volved. The message gave no details
of the rioting, and said the cause OF
the outbreak was unknown at the
time the message was sent. The de-
partment directed that full. rartica.
lars be forwarded promptly.
That regular troops should be ~
volved i the rioting means that dras-
tic measures of a disciplinary nature
will be taken when the facts are
known. The fact that the outbreak
occurred during war, makes the
situation more serious than it other
wise would be. Drumhead courtmar-
tial law could be applied; bit on the
other hand, the government. may feel
inclined to leave punishment TO the
civil authorities.
The department expects very
careful Investigation to be made by
the board Of inquiry which Will bring
to light the exact cause of the rioting
and show what share, if any, peace
officers or other civilians had in pre-
cipitating the trouble.
: 1t is regarded probable that the en-
tire question of sending colored
troops to Southern states for training
will be brought up in congress before
the department receives it's final re-
port. Governor Manning of South
Carolina, saw Secretary Baker few
days ago to submit formal protest
against the sending of negro units
of National Guardsmen to camps m
that State for training and Southern
senators today held similar views.
Senator Sheppard said he would re-
commend that no negro troops De
sent into Texas, other than these
raised in the State.
