RIFLE OUR WEAPON
General Pershing Criticises Troops for
Too Much BayOnet Work.

American Training Quarters in
France, Oct. 3.-(By the Associated
Press)-Major General Pershing to-
day watched a battalion of Major
General Sibert's command as it storm
ed and took three supposed enemy
trenches which had been named Will
son, Taft and Roosevelt for the &C.
casion The exercise was part of a
program of battalion problems which
is being carried out daily and will be
developed gradually into regimental,
brigade and divisional attacks.
Several French officers witnessed
today'S maneuvers, after which they
were criticised by American and
French observers and by the general
himself. He said that in taking the
three trenches, the soldiers, he no.
ticed. did not use their rifles. This
he thought, was a mistake. You
must not forget that the rifle is
distinctly an American weapon" said
the general 81 want to see it employ
ed. There surely will be plenty of
opportunity for its/use and if you are
unfamiliar with the weapon you will
lose those opportunities. Bayonets
and bombs are all right and very
valuable but rifle fire still has a place
in modern war"
The general said he had heard of
soldiers in this war who had been
chasing Germans a hundred yards or
more for an opportunity to bomb or
bayonet them. If they had thought
they might have stopped and shot
them easily with the rifle.

PARSONS IN TROUBLE
City Writes Budget on Envelope In
stead of Legal Blanks.

Parsons's city tax levy may be held
invalid. 1t all happened because the
city wrote its budget on an envelope
instead of on a blank which the law
provides shall be submitted to the city
clerk.
Protests against the Parsons city
levy were filed today with S. NJ.
Brewster, attorney general. 1t was as
serted that no official budget was
prepared or filed and that the new
tax levy is illegal. 1t was also charged
that the city administration provided
for a heavy increase in the tax levy
and called for tax fund of 1924, 900
as against $176,0oO last year. The at
torney generals office is investigating
the method of levying taxes by the
Parsons city commission. No plan
for relief has been announced, how
ever, in event the city's levy is held
invalid.
