RIFLE RANGE is BUSY PLACE
Marines Learning to Shoot and to
Shoot Quickly and Straight.

WINTHROP, Md. Aug. 31.-With
realization of the fact that SEVEN
tenths OF a soldiers business is shoot
ing and shooting quickly and accu-
rately." the giant marine corps rifle
range here is being worked TO its full
est capacity. Hundreds OF marine
corps officers and men are weekly
taking the full course of instruction
in rifle shooting as applied to modern
warfare.
More than 73 per cent of the MEM
bers OF the marine corps who fired
the prescribed course during 1916 are
qualified expert riflemen, sharpshoot-
ers or marksmen. Marine corps Off
cials believe that, with modern eff
cheney and equipment even a greater
percentage OF the new marine corps
will not only distinguish themselves
on the rifle range, but on the firing
line in France, as well.

other government ottlcldlS as 10 d
war purchasing policy.
One element said to include most
of the membership of the defense coun-
CHS committees, is for a purchasing
policy that will allow liberal profits to
producers to stimulate production.
These officials declare the government
will obtain far better service If 1t does
not try to drive its bargains too hard.
They point to the coal price agree
ment as the proper way to arrive at
buying arrangements, particularly be-
cause through this plan the general
public as well as the government en-
joys the low prices obtained.
Other officials believe the govern
ment should bring eevry pressure to
bear to obtain the lowest possible
prices and some, it is said, are for
communicating supplies.
No government agency now has the
power to fix prices either for the gov
eminent or for the general public. If
the government goes into the market
for large purchases at low prices it is
pointed out, the private consumer will
be forced to pay even higher prices
than he now pays because producers,
under no sort of restraint will raise
their prices to him to make up for
their loss in selling to the government
In making the arrangement with the
coal men the interior department
pointed out that it would mean, if it
stood for a year, a saving of nearly
5000, 000, 600 to the consuming indus
tries and the situation now existing
probably will serve to hasten the
movement to re-arrange the commit
tee system of the defense council,
which contemplates establishment of
a purchasing office for government
supplies.
Those in authority who have not APP
proved the action of Secretary Lane
are understood to feel that the only
way a price fixing plan can work
equitably for the government is first
to have the cost of production ascer-
tanned by some capable government
agency, probably the federal trade
commission, and base prices on these
costs. They realize that such inves-
legations into the cost of coal, fuel oil
iron ore, cement and many other raw
materials which the government needs
for war purposes, will take some time
but are inclined to the view that it
would be better for the present to eX
ercise such bower as the war and
navy departments have to commander
commodities and let investigation dis
close what war profits the producing
industries are getting in the belief that
prices to the public will then adjust
themselves whether there has been
legislation or not.
An interior department statement
tonight announced that a new record
for coal production was set for the
first six months of this year, fully
10000, 900 tons of bituminous coal be
ing produced since January first, this
exceeding the output of the first six
months of last year by about, twenty
million tons.
