Mann Withdraws.

Washington, March 26.-Republi-
can Leader Mann's announcement
that he is willing to withdraw from
the speakership race provided both
parties agree to bipartisan or non
partisan organization of the house,
drew protests from both the Demo
cratic and Republican leaders. Such
plan was talked of recently, but
it has been generally believed it had
been eliminated from serious con-
sideration. Democratic leaders de-
clared their belief that they would
organize the house from the speaker
down, and their plans appear to be
to force a partisan victory if posi-
BILE. Representative Mann, in max
ing the announcement, said he believ-
ed partisan politics had no place in
the incoming house and, whether the
United States had peace or war, it
was up to both parties to unite at
once and expedite the important pub
lie business.

high with sentry boxes at every cor
ner. Two fences are being construct
ed six feet apart, and the space be-
tween the two will be lighted by cleo

distance from the barracks to give

else in the open air and the same
comforts the soldiers have been pro-
vided in the buildings for the Ger
mans.

has been assigned as commandant of
the post and he was on hand today

Entire South Is Examined
And Tract Near McDavid
Has Been Chosen
MILITARY GUNNERY
NEW DEFENSE NEED
Would Be Rendezvous For
Troops South of Potomac,
East of Mississippi

Developing preparedness in all,
lines, the government will establish a
great training camp at McDavid,'
about Is miles north of Pensacola,
capable of training 10000 national
guardsmen a year in artillery work,
If plans now maturing reach fruition.
Heretofore infantry maneuvers
have been held at Admission, Ala, and
it was first suggested that the artil-
lery training base be established
there. Because the terrain is not we'll
adapted to the work, however, and
furthermore because the price is in ex-
cess of the governments appropria-
ton, the war department has con-
Quoted an exhaustive investigation of
conditions throughout the south. Sew
eral sites in West Florida were ex-
amined by Lieutenant Colonel c. P.
Summerell, of the Bureau of Mill
tarv Affairs, but it is said he found
none to equal the ADVANTAGES of the
McDavid tract, combining the eleva-
ton of hills necessary for the mask
ing Of guns and observation of tho
spot on which the shells would fail,
with watering facilities. an ine-..
haustible wood supply. and drainage
permitting of all-the-veor maneuver-
ing. The tract includes 10000 acres,
and the price is only 100000. or just
little more than third of the An
niston price.
Politics Holding il Up.
Though the necessary appropria-
ton has been made, and though the
price is said to be satisfactory, the
deal has not yet been closed because
Of political pressure being brought
from other quarters. Congressman
Kehoe, however, after careful study,
is convinced that the McDavid tract
is recognized by military officials as
the one best suited for the national
needs, and is undertaking to press the
project to a successful conclusion.
Strong letters are also being sent to
Senators Trammell and Fletcher urg-
ing their cooperation.
The matter will be presented to the
Rotary Club today, and to the Cham
Der of Commerce for endorsement.
New Chapter of Preparedness.
Militia artillery practice is a pre-
paredness measure our government
has adopted as a result of its study OF
gunfre in Europe. Heretofore there
have been isolated companies of mill
tia artillery. but now the training will
be on a national scale. To that end
/ the United States has been divided
into three districts: for guardsmen
west of the Mississippi, location in
California has been selected for the
northwestern states, site in Pennsvl-
vania; the camp at McDavid will be
the rendezvous of militia south of the
Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of
the Mississippi, including New Or
leans.
| Real War Conditions.
Field artillery of the largest cali.
bres will be used in the maneuvers.
Shrapnel and hmigh explosives-not
blanks-will be used. 1t will be real
war work. The sloping hillsides, COW
| cred with sod that shed the rain in
stead of becoming boggy, will make
this an ideal location for maneuvers
all the year.
Work will begin this summer. if
the site is accepted, and twenty
thousands troops and 10000 horses
will mobilize there.
