Congress passed a bill authorizing the
Secretary of War to sell to rifle clubs
affiliated with the National Rife AS
ISOLATION arms. ammunition, target
supplies, ETC., but not until 1915, did
It take steps to provide assistance by
actually ap%propriating funds with
which to train civilians In the use OF
the army rifle.
The National Defense act of June
8, 1915, which authorized the Secre-
tary OF War TO establish and maintain
indoor and outdoor rife ranges, car
ried an appropriation of $4,000 for
arms, ammunition, targets and mis-
~cellaneous supplies. travelling expenses
of instructors. etc. and includes $780,
900 for transportation of teams of
civilians authorized by the Secretary
of War 70 participate IN the national
rife matches.
Governments Encourages.
This. then. is the encouragement
given the civilian to burn powder"
at the rife range. We have something
over 1000 of these clubs fostered by
the government. Surely IL Is worth
while or the government would not
take these steps toward improving
the craftsmanship of It's citizens.
Value Of the Shotgun.
Thus far We have dealt particular
ly with the rife. To a large extent
the same applies to the shotgun, for
an individual who is skilled I'm the
handling of any type of frearm has
Just that much 10 his credit. as there
is a certain similarity between them
all.
The use of the shotgun. however. is
of particular value when the target
is moving. With this in mind the
United States government purchased
SO shotgun traps and something like
60, 900 900 clay pigeons. Part Of these
traps were sent TO France and those
held In the United States are being
used in instruction camps. Traps are
to be found in nearly every canton
ment consldeGing the absence of
"friils" in the camps. II certainly APP
pears that Uncle Samuel" recognizes
the value or rap shooting as a prac-
teal preparation for warfare.
One OF these uses to which shot
gun traps are put Is that OF training
the future "birdman" for his coming
battles in the air, developing. as II
does, instant decision and keenness of
eye. Trapshooting has been officially
added 10 the curriculum OF h var
ious schools OF military aeronautics.

George Ward. "the beanstalkn Of
Elizabeth added another victory to
his unbroken string by winning from
Young Dundee OF New York on q
technical knockout in the fourth
round of their scheduled six-round
tussie. Young Dundee's seconds threw
a towel into the ring after their ia
vorite had been fioored three times
in the fourth round. Ward easily
led Dundee In the first two rounds
Dundee never getting a punch home.
In the third round the slaughter
started when Ward ioored the New
York boy twice and had him Keeling
around the ring. The fourth round
proved worse than the third and Dun
dee's seconds saved him a terrible
beating.
The f~our-round preliminary be-
tween Kid Leo and Young Blackie
didn't come OF owing to the illness
of Kid Leo, the Staten Island boy. In
place Of these boys the management
put on two Newark boys who after
stalling for two minutes were given
the hook by the referee.

"HEARTS OF THE WORLD"
Some Facts Concerning ID. W. Grit
fth's Great Production.

Hearts of the World" was eight
cen months in the making.
The production is not in any sense
a war play, but love story of the
great war, with the conflict serving
as the grim background.
The battle scenes were taken on
the battlefelds of France by permits
sion and with the assistance of the
British and French governments.
Mr. Griffith and many of his princi-
pal players, including Lillian and
Dorothy Gish and Mrs. Gish, mother
of the two girls; Robert Harron and
George A. Siegmann, were under
actual bombardment three times, on
one occasion for a period covering
four hours.
Mr.. Griffith had TO wear a steel
helmet to protect him from shrapnel
and a gas mask to protect his lungs
during the taking of many of the
stirring scenes. Many of the most
striking scenes in the film owe their
effects to the remarkable courage of
Mr.. Griffith and his intrepid camera
man, BILLY" Bitter, who was with
him under fire hundreds of times.
Neither Mr.. Griffith nor any of his
company received any injuries other
than slight wound in Mr.. Griffith's
arm from flying shrapnel.

Lloyd George said: God speed you in
your great work and grant that you
may accomplish your desires" In
the prologue of the story of Hearts

shaking hands with Mr.. Griffith prior
to the latter's departure for the
French lines.
More than 10000 feet Of film were
taken, although only $1,000 feet are
used in the production.
David Wark Griffith was the first
American ever to set foot in the
front line trenches. This was, Of
course, before the United States en-

fakes" or artifcialities whatsoever
throughout the entire film.
Mr.. Griffith describes Hearts of

serving only as the grim background
for the unfolding tale of life in a
small French village.

WASHINGTON, oct. .-Ecnewed
assurance that American casualties
are made public as rapidly Ms re-
ceived from General pershinG was
given by General March today at
conference with the senate mill
tary committee. He said the war
department is behind about $4,000
names in announcing minor causal-
ties, reports OF which are brought
over by courier, but the lists OF dead
and seriously wounded are cabled
and given to the public with the
least possible DELAY
Discussion OF the subject was
brought up hy Senator Hitchcock.

that the department was holding up
the names unnecessarily
General March explained that be-
cause OF communicable difficulties
In France and the extent Of the
fighting there Is some delay In
checking up at organization head
quarters and at receiving stations
and hospitals back Of lines. lie
pointed out, however
Although just across the channel
from the theatcr Of war. England
experiences a delay OF approx
mately four weeks Is making public
casualty lists less complete than
those given out in this country.
There was nothing, senators said
after the conference, Ia indicate eX-
tent OF the American casualties In
battles now raging. Reports receiv-
ed by the war department, show that
the fighting has been intense and
that the Germans resistance on the
American front near Nerdun was
stiffening Ms a result of the sending
forward of heavy reinforcements.
Since General Foch began his Of
fensive July IS. the senators were
told, the allies have recovered be-
tween 20 and 25 per cent OF the
French territory held by the Ger
mans.
