advise Mr. Handy. Republican candi-
date for State Senator in the Hop

makes his neglect to resign as mag
istrate a justifable cause for the
State Senate to refuse to seat him. 1t
imposes no penalty upon the Senate
or upon any other official in the event
the Senate should refuse to take ad-
vantage of the situation and seat him.

LOCAL MEN MAKING GOOD
IN THE MILITARY SERVICE
Capt. Welstood White and Capt. w.
B: Howe, Westinghouse, Head
Successful Field Maneuvers.

Just as Capt Welstood White, a
Washington man who is going to get a
commission as a reserve officer in the
Fort Myer training camp. was bringing
the 5th Company of infantry in from a
successful three-day maneuver last
night. Capt. Walter B. Howe, another
Washingtonian. was leading the LIST
Troop of Cavalry out on another field
problem.
This shows how the embryo officers
in the training camp whose homes are
in the National Capital are making
good under service conditions. These
three-day maneuver trips are being
planned to test out in a practical way
the theoretical knowledge the men
have been getting drilled into them for
the last three months. The service
problems are worked up by Col. Glas-
gov, who is the tactician behind the
scenes at the Fort Myer camp. Col
Glasgow occupies an Office with great
contour maps and blue prints of the
surrounding territory spread out be-
fore him. The student officers seldom
see him, but they know all the time
that he is busy thinking up some very
difficult tactical problems for them to
solve.
These maneuver hikes are leading UP
to a three-day general maneuver in
the Virginia hills. in which all organi-
cations in the camp except the field
artillery will participate. The artillery
will be sent on a special field problem
of it's own.
In his successful leadership of the
9Th Company of, infantry during
simulated night outpost duty and night
attack, Capt. White had able assistance
from F. H. Richardson as lieutenant,
and c. S. Rossiere in charge of a
platoon on the firing line, both of
whom are well known Washington
men. The 5th Company claims to have
made the best record for distributions
of fire in combat firing that has ever
heen made on the Edsal range.
