DOUBLE TRACKING LAST LINK.

Southern Railway Lets Contract for
Double Tracking Between Charlotte
and Mt. Zion.
Washington, ID. c.. April Final
steps towards giving the Southern
Railway System double track line
ell the way from Washington to At
lanta. Gi9 miles, were taken when
contracts were let for grading on the
7l.5 miles between Charlotte, N. c.,
and Mt Zion, S. c., the only part Of
the line not already in service as dou-
bic track or under construction. In
order that this work may be complet-
cd as rapidly as possible 1t was let In
six sections, running from 5.S miles
to Is miles in length.
AS early as 1902 the management
OF the Southern recognized the neccs-
sity OF double track between Washing
ton and Atlanta and construction was
undertaken on parts Of the line as
funds were available. However, dou-
bic track was in service on only 291.2
miles. leaving 1918 miles OF single
track, in June, 1914, when President
Fairfax Harrison announced that he
had arranged to secure the necessary
capital and that the work OF double
tracking the entire line would be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. How actively this work has
been pursued will be seen from the

will be duplicated at the camp
through the night hours. To give
the men some respite, their Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoons will be
kept free, except in the case Of back
ward individuals or units. Target
practice runs through the entire
course and the schedules call for 40
hours training each week.
A striking feature of the program
is the fact that practically the en-
tire 16 weeks will be devoted to train
ing individuals, platoons and compa-
MES. Brigade, divisional and even
regimental exercises are reserved for
a later period with some minor ex-
ceptions during the last weeks. Since
the platoon, commanded by a lieu
tenant, is the actual fighting unit in
trench battles, the new regulations fix
upon the lieutenant of each company
the responsibility Of training less than
company units, so that they may get
in close touch with their men and to
set up an understanding of each
other that will be invaluable when
they finally go cover the top"

GUARD OFFICERS TO
BE DROPPED. BELIEF

Within a short time a considerable
number of Montana national guard
officers will be dropped from service.
The efficiency system of the war de-
partment will be responsible for the
severance of relations between these
officers and the commissions they
nov hold in the service.
This condition will not be peculiar
to Montana. In the same general
way national guard officers from
many states will be sent to the dis
card because the efficiency experts
are about to find that they do not
possess the qualifications necessary
to make good officers.
From the time the national guard
officers were taken into the federal
service they were under observation
to test their efficiency. The law
made it necessary to take over the
national guard of the several states
en- bloc. which meant that the officers
must be taken over into the federal
service along with the men, but it was
understood all along that within a
reasonable time there would be a trim
ming out of the undesirable timber.
The inside tip at the war depart
ment is that the AK will fall on many
national guard officers within a

E CROSS NOTES

The northern division of the Ameri.
can Red Cross, which includes the
states of Minnesota, Montana, North
Dakota and South Dakota, now has
approximately PAP chapters. These
chapters in turn have more than 1865
branches and auxiliaries, so that in
more than 600 places in the northwest
Red Cross work is being carried on
actively and continuously. At prob
ably 600 other places Red Cross work
is done at intervals.
The membership in the Northern
Division is growing rapidly, particu-
larry in North Dakota and South Da-
kota, while Montana is preparing
county campaigns that will add thou
sands to it's rolls. Many counties now
have reached the Red Cross goal of

LEARNING FIRST WAR LESSONS

The recruit was having his first
turn on sentry duty.
"Now, remember your salutes," the
corporal warned him. IF you see a
lieutenant wearing one star slope
arms. For a captain with three stars
slope arms also. The major has a
crown on his straps, and you present
arms. For the colonel who has stars
and a crown, you present arms and
then turn out the guard"
When he was left alone the recruit
went over these orders again and
again.
Suddenly his musing was interrupt
ed by the approach of an officer. This
was a general, and the recruit did not
know what to do for him.
can what might you be-" he asked,
bluntly, unable to recognize the badge
of the officers rank.
"I'm the general" replied the Off
Ger, affably.

officers be present with their COM
mands at all drills and clock-like reg
ularity in carrying out training sche-
dulles is insisted upon. The whole
system is to be co-ordinated and pre-
pared in advance so that each officer
and man will know just the work to
be done during the day and night
before him.
New elements will be injected in
to the training each week so that
every phase of modern trench war
fare will be dealt with. The lecture
program is calculated to show the
soldier not only just what he is to
expect at the front, but also what
will be his duty under all circum-
stances of war. Lectures with gra-
phic Illustrations will show what
three years of wal have brought of
gas attack, of bombing and of bay
onet work. First aid instruction
holds a high place, for wounded
soldiers today must depend largely
upon themselves and their immedi-
ate neighbors in a she'll torn trench
for first treatment.
The instruction starts with that
of individual soldiers, changes grad
ually until the squad of eight men
spend most of their time in joint
drill which marges into platoon OPP
e%rations and finally into the school
of the company. AS the men hard
en- to their work, the hours of Wig
orous physical exercises increase
and the marching maneuvers are
extended. At regular intervals spe-
cial courses will be given and a
program of test courses to deter
mine the proficiency of each mar
in each phase Of his work has been
devised which will give a perfect line
upon every soldiers ability and be
the stepping stone to promotion.

Training work mapped out by the
war department for national guard
and national army divisions before
they will be regarded as ready for
duty abroad is based on a 16-week
course of the most intensive kind of
work in the open, varied with lectures
by American and allied officers. To
insure uniformity of training through
out the entire army, divisional COM
manders have been urged to see that
the schedules are followed closely.
Great stress is laid upon the ne

FIRE ALARMS S

Monday seemed to be fire day in Sho-
shons About IL a. m. fire was dis
covered in the barn of w. C. Custer, on
the north side of the river. The fire
department made quick run but ar
rived too late to save the building. The
loss was about five hundred dollars
consisting of the building, a loft full
of hay and two sets of harness. The
fire was of incendary origin. No insur-
ance.
Within thirty minutes after the Gus
ter fire another alarm was sounded and
this time it was the residence of ]. w.
SAVERS. The fire department respond
ed quickly and did most valient service.
They put out the fire so as to limit
the damages to perhaps s25. Mr.. Saw

thanks and appreciation for the prompt
and efficient manner in which the fire
boys responded in the matter.
