no interest in the measure and that
X was not war department 1egisla-

form, II was stated. the bill would
have an after-the-war effect on Amer.

greatest purchase OF liberty bond,

RIFLE RAN GES ARE APPROVED
Major General Sage of Camp Shelby
Makes Final Inspection and
Highly Praises 1t.

Hattiesburg, Miss.-Two rife ranges
for soldiers at Camp Shelby were
given final inspection by Major Gen
eral w. H. Sage, commandant of the
camp. One is for target practice, the
other for combat" work, and both are
said to have been favorably comment
ed or by General Sage. The ranges
were selected by Major H. F. Noble,
former tactical officer at Culver Mill
tary Academy, who has spent weeks
in inspection of the territory sur
rounding Camp Shelby. Both ranges
are apart from the camp proper. Vir-
tually every danger to civilians from
range firing is eliminated, officers as
sert, unless civilians themselves be-
come careless and disregard warnings
not to enter the prohibited zone. The
danger to soldiers from accident SINH
larly is eliminated, they said.
The ordinary practice range will
have 200 targets, thus affording oppor-
tunity for hundreds of guardsmen to
work at the same time. The combat
range will permit the soldiers to simuo
late actual warfare on this range.
Moving dummies will be employed to
represent the enemy and problems in
strategy will be worked out.

At Rapidly Shown BY Americans,
Who Also Is Surprised at Number
of Men Expeced.

Paris.--A correspondent of the
Matin, who recently visited an Ameri-
can aviation camp in France, express
es surprise at the number of men for
whom preparations are being made
and at what has been accomplished al
ready. "A road eight miles long has
been built in less than a month by a
company of American engineers, as
sisted by the French engineering serv-
lce," he writes. ''All the American
engineers are volunteers from Penn
sylvania. | walked into a forest of
materials destined for the construc-
tion of hangers and barracks. A sur
prising thing was the rapidity with
which everything had been accumu-
lated here. 1t is scarcely 30 days
since the American soldiers arrived
at that point. Flying will begin about
September Is. The American school is
near large French and British avia-
ton schools, and the camp is about
1850 acres in extent.
