the mountains become more import ant from a military standpoint, as they come eastward toward the Asia ga and Bretna regions. All the chief pressure has been in the easterly re zion in the past, and the indications at present are that it will be in this region.
 The greatest fighting ground, then would be along the two valleys on the East, Val Lagarina and Val Su- gana, and chief attention should be ceDtercd on them and their neigh boring heights of Asiago. the Grappa and Mount Tomba. Both of them come down from Trent, the Austrian storm center which sends forward troops and supplies through both the valleys to the mountain fronts be yond. From Trent the enemy has railroads down both these valleys.
 The Lagarina valley comes straight south to Verona and the open plain It was down here that the enemy made his first rush two years ago, pushing from Raverto west toward Mount Pasubio He was driven back then, and all the indications are that he will be held again if he comes that way.
 The most important approach is by way of Val Sugana, or Bretna river. From it's headwaters near Trent the Brena makes a wide circuit before it comes down to the open plain at Baaano, and it is within this circuit that the Asiago plateau and the hard est fighting ground lies. The Aus trian railway form Trent comes down the valley to Primolano, about twen- ty miles above Bassana, thus keep ing up a steady flow of men and sup Primolana which is often mentioned plies. That is why the Italian air planes have centered attention on in the 'cOmmuniques as having it's railway stations bombed.

>TRAP %Al and % R, | FIELD E1

With every American citizen, even their shoulders to the wheel to aid America in this war, trap shooters are doing recruiting and the veter- ans of the game are showing re- cruts how to handle firearms.
 Never has. there been such gen eral indorsemnet of any line of sport as has been accorded trap shooting in the last two years, Knowledge of the use and handling of firearms eliminates at least two thirds of the time in training camps. In the days of the Puritan fathers, each and every one was in great measure dependent upon his skill for the necessities of life, and the rife WIS the meal ticket.
 To this preparedness was due in large part America's success in the wars of 1776 and 1912. Hence it is I'D 10 each and every American to encourage the rising generation to learn to shoot. The disappearance ! or game anu tue utSiIt iO piOtEtt and propagate the same so that our 1 fields may be replenished makes 1t necessary for citizens of today to practice at the traps. There they are taught to handle gun, shoot and accuire confidence in them selves that can be obtained in no other way.
 Traps in Municipal Parks.
 Park commisspners of many cities who have taken 'the time and trou- ble to investigate trap shooting have set apart in the parks certain tracts i dedicated to trap shooting, thus doing their mite toward the organi- zation of an efficient standing army that is not under pay or in any way objectionable.

DOUBLE TRACK LINE
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The double tracking of the O.-W,
r. & N. system over the Blue noun
tains, a project which has long been
discussed in railroad circles, is now
in a fair way of being realized. Some
of the grading and track laying of
the second track fhas already been
completed between Kamela and Mea-
cham, and the company. is now con-
tracing for the installation of dou>
BILE track from one mile east of Ka-
mela TO three and onehalf miles west
of that point.
1t is believed that the Improvement
at Kamela is but the beginning of a
general program of advancement on
the O.-w. r. &. N. provided the con-
d,tions are favorable for such ifR-
provement. It is being made at this
time TO expedite the moving of trains
over the mountain summit. On ac>
count of the large number of helper
engines used it has been found that
considerable time is lost in running
to sidetrac cks. The double tracks will
be extended both ways from time to
time until eventually the entire divi-
sion will be double tracked.
