RIFLE RANGE
AHOT PLACE
Dresden Enterprise:

Dresden Enterprise:
The rifle range is one of the
places that we boys don't Ike De-
cause it is SO far away and we get
there bv a hike. Two sandwiches
make up our dinner-one egg and
Swiss cheese. To get them into our
mess kit on the inside we must
squeeze, and by the time we get to
eat them they are as dry as they can
be. The eggs and cheese have van
ished The bread is all that we can
see. The packs and guns that seem
so light get heavier each mile and by
the time we reach the place we sure
do carry a pile. We then put up our
shelter tents and creep into them like
hogs and by the time the thing is
over we sure do look like hogs. we
eat our chow upon the ground and
ret it full of sand. The worms and
ants that creep around make the
meals taste very grand. We shoot
from morning until night, and only
stop to eat. It's rapid fire, kneellng
down and standing on our feet, and
when we go to sleep the ground is
50 very hard the blankets don't help
a bit, and our whole nights sleep
is marred, and after turning from
side to side for a soft place we found
no doubt. We make ourselves ready
to fall asleep, but the sergeant yells
pit details out.
We put the targets in their place
and make ourselves all ready. We
paste them up and pull them down;
It's work all day and steady. We
try to figure out each shot and see
that we make them right. "Wake
up, you're Slow" is all we get and
we haven't slept all night. And
when we get back to the camp OF
the tents we think whole lot. We
know they're not so bad and we ap-
preciate our cot. We didn't know
what's good or what's bad. We
were very much soiled. We've been
to the rifle range and we know the
camp is not the worst place in the
world.

STOLE PRICELESS .
ART TO ENL|VEN
GAY WHITE. WAY
Student Sold Valuable Pictures
for $40 to S4O-Dealer
to Be Arrested.

Sales of priceless art objects for
from $40 to $40 each were disclosed
to-day in the story of Alexander
Rosenfeld, a nineteen year-old arts
student. who is in the Tombs await
ing trial on a charge Of robbing the
Metropolitan Museum Of Art. He was
arrested yesterday.
Rosenfeld declared the money he
got, a total of about 5000 in few
months. was squandered in gay par
ties in the White Light district. He
took young women on long autonno-
bile rides and there were visits TO
the theatres and the brightest cafes.
This brief period of free spending
followed a long stretch of penury for
Rosenfeld. when he was trying to
become an artist, studying in east
side schools. His friends declared ne
lived at times on Is cents n day.
His new wealth-for 1t was wealth
TO him-was not devoted to entertain
Ing any one girl. he declared, but was
lavished on a host OF new friends he
found when his pockets were full.
The money Just went along Broad
way" was the way he summed 1t up.
A sequel to his adventures 10 ex-
pected to-day In the arrest OF q Fifth
Avenue art dealer. The police said
they had the name OF the man wanted
and probably would take him into Gus
tody before night. This action was
planned in response to Magistrate
Corrigan's remark at the arraignment
OF Rosenfeld that art fences" seemed
to be operating in the city and that 1t
was time their practices were stopped.
At the time of Rosenfeld's arrest 1t
was said the paintings and etchings
he took from the museum were worth
$4,000 10 $4,000. At the museum to-
day 1t was declared however that they
were worth even more. Some Of them
cannot be duplicated and their value
is so great that no price can be set
upon them.
Rosenfeld, 1t Is declared, went to
the museum ostensibly to copy mas
terpieces as part of his art training
| and then waited for an opportunity
TO remove the pictures. He told tho
dealers to whom he sold them for u
| fraction OF their real value that he
had brought the pictures from Bel
GUM. All the pictures except ono
have been recovered.
| The police questioned Miss Nettie
| Knoblock. eighteen. of No. 140 West
| 1llth Street In connection with the
case, but said that no charge would
be made against her. She was at
first reported to be a sweetheart OF
Rosenfeld, but 1t was found later that
she was merely a friend who had
known him since their school days
and was interested in his efforts to
become an artist.
| Rosenfeld lives at No. 1885 Park
| Avenue. At his arraignment yester-
day he was held in $1,000 bail for
trial in Special Sessions.

capacity Of certain manufacturing
plants in the olty.
The reports, he said, were filed at
Washington by local representatives
OF the Quartermaster's Corps.
Until the formation OF the alleged
conspiracy and before Capt. Vaughan

the concerns that had agreed to con-
tribute per cent. to the secret fund.

Gouled and the II. Rosenfeld Raincoat

conceal the existence of the per

basis, is alleged to have procured con-
tracts from Capt. Vaughan, was the
