Rifle and Artillery Ranges to Be Con-
structed and Men Schooled
in Fine Art of Shooting

Tacoma, Wash, Sept S.-The report
of Captain F. J. Rosenberg, adjutant
shows 1924 soldiers of the national
army at Camp Lewis. Arrivals from
Washington, Oregon and Idaho totalled
375; from Wyoming, Montana, Utah
and Nevada, 1858; from northern Cal
ifornia 267, making total of 905 men
who arrived yesterday.
Physical examination of the con-
scripted men probably will begin to-
day.
New men, as they arrive, are as
signed to companies in four infantry
regiments, which have perfected tenta-
tive organizations.
Orders were received from Wash
ington to obtain site for a rifle
range and a field artillery range.
Practically every man of the 10000
soldiers will be given target practice
and it is estimated that 100000
rounds of ammunition will be fired this
winter and next spring. Orders also
have been received to obtain a site
for a light artillery range.

PRESIDENTS ANSWER is
DISAPPOINTING TO POPE
Pontiff Has His Attention Focused on
Statement That Kaiser Is not
to Be Trusted

Rome, Sept. 4. - After President
peace proposals was presented by the
British minister at the vatican Mon
signor Cerrati, newly appointed assist
ant secretary of state, Immediately
took the document to the pope. The
pontiff does not read English, but he
had a rapid verbal translation made
and he was much touched by its word
ng. The pope remarked as to the 'lofty
sentiments expressed and also the
kindly, humane spirit and manner"
used by the president in rejection of
the vatican's proposals, but was I'M
able to repress his disappointment that
his efforts as yet were unsuccessful
to check the war.
1t is not yet known whether he will
make immediate answer to certain
points in the note or wait until all
the powers have replied and then give
the same general answer to all. How
ever, it is certain that the pope is
daily preparing an immense amount
of documentary testimony to prove
that his principal points are those al
ready admitted or agreed to by all the
belligerents.
The point emphasized in President
Wilson's note that no one can have
faith in the honor of the German
rulers or accept their signatures to
peace treaty is a problem that has
focused the attention of the pontiff

QUITS GOOD FEDERAL JOB
BECAUSE PICKETS JAILED

Washington, Sept. S.-Dudley Field
Malone, customs collector at New York,
has rendered his resignation to Presi-
dent Wilson in protest against the
failure of the president to advocate
passage of the federal suffrage amend
ment and because he permitted the
Imprisonment of women who have been
picketing the White house.
Mr.. Malone, who as counsel defend
ed the first of the militants arraign-
ed in police court here, told the presi-
dent in his letter of resignation that
since he had promised the women of
the suffrage states that he would ex-
ert all his energy to have the national
Democratic administration endorse
suffrage, by constitutional amendment,
he felt obliged to resign and devote
himself to redeeming that promise.

PRESIDENT WILSON PLACES
EMBARGO ON GOLD EXPORTS
Movement of Metal to Orient Assumes
Startling Proportions and Will
Be CurtaiIed

Washington, Sept. S.-President Will
September 10, on the expectation of
coin, bullion and currency. At the
same time he authorized the secretary
of the treasury to license such expor-
tations where, in the opinion of the
federal reserve board, they are not
harmful to the public interest.
The effect of the embargo, which ap-
plies to all nations, will be to place abb
solute control over gold exports in the
hands of Secretary McAdeo and the
federal reserve board. Officials be-
lieve that the measure will go far to-
ward conserving the huge store of gold
accumulated by this country since the
beginning of the war, a store which
recently has been drawn upon rather
heavily by Japan, Mexico and Spain.
Strict adhesion to the embargo is re-
garded as unlikely and undesirable.
Curtailment, however, of the free
movement of gold to the orient appears
probable. For some time past treas
ury reserve board officials have viewed
with some concern the tendency of
gold TO flow away from the United
States, movement which started
with the financing here of the allies.
Exports of gold during the current
year were recently estimated to have
s30O,OO0,OOO, or more
than twice as much as the volume ex-
ported altogether in 1916. Much of
this gold has gone to Japan, which
has balance of trades against the
United States, and recently exporta-
tons to Spain have assumed large pro-
portions.
