Police Release Suspect After
Women Victims See Him.

A negro suspect taken into custody
shortly after midnight by Police
man George P. Waite, of the Fifth
precinct, in competition with the at
tack on two white women in the
southeast last night, was released
after both women had looked at him
today and said they did not believe
he was the man.
Mrs. Elizabeth Burns, forty-four
years old, OF 1874 Carroll street south
east, the first one stopped by the
negro, was not injured, but Mrs.
Annie z. Richards, thirty-three years
old, of 45 d street southeast, who
encountered him half an hour after
Mrs. Burns, was struck on the left
temple when she screamed. The blow
was not serious, however.
Mrs. Burns said the man made no
effort to run away after releasing
her. She hurried home and told
members of her family, who immedi-
ately called the Fifth precinct station.

The police had hardly finished in

Richards was stopped by a negro

Big Group Ideas to Be Tested By
Army Officers.

Youthful America out at Fort hyer
found out today what it means to be
a soldier.
Across freshly plowed fields. upon
which the suns rays beat pitilessly'
student officers marched to and fro.
their heavy tramping shoes kicking
up the dust and sending it flying into
the air. In squads of seven or eight
men they turned about, faced about.
and went through countless maneu-
vers. They kept the field four hours
until mess call sounded-and took the
field again this afternoon.
No Man Drops out.
Under orders from Capt. Charles S.
Haight, which were recommended at
conferences among the head officers
of the camp, the men were divided
into squads early this morning. Then
they were told to hit the drill field
and see IL they could stand the gaff.
They stood IL. Not one man, up TO
noon. had dropped out Of line or re-
quested to be excused from further
drilling.
Only a part OF the men were on the
field this morning. AS the day wore
on, fresh companies were sent out
Seventeen squads composed a com
pany, on an average. In this simple
formation they marched backward
and forward on the sward where for
merly the cavalry held its daily drills.
Society Looks On.
Society from the District. Virginia
and Maryland lined up its cars on
the driveway in front OF the drill
grounds and watched the sight. 1t
was the first glimpse many OF the
women had obtained OF a unit OF the
future officers OF a nation at war.
The drills on the first day Of active
preparation at the camp were taken
In front OF company cantonments and
only a few of the men were taught
the steps at a time. Today approx
mateIy 1900 men were drilling at
once. II was an inspiring sight.
Lieut. Col. Charles w. FentOn, com,
mander of the reserve officers camp,
was cIoseted all day with army Of
fcers planning a program Of daily
exercise for the rookie officers. Drills
will be continued but the army heads
are working on plans to bring facts
of the war on European fronts more
possibly before the minds OF. the
future leaders of Americas conscript
army.
In order to test out the larger
group idea in effect in Europe, two
, of the companies at Fort Myer were
increased TO 230 men each. These
were Companies IL and IL. The
others have $50 each, which is the
American standard.
