NEW WAR TACTICS.

American troops in training at home are being
especially schooled now in preparation for the
forward movement of the allied armies expected
to follow the ultimate crushing of Germany s
have been issued to division commanders to lay
greater stress upon training for open warfare,
and reduce the time devoted to teaching trench
specialties.
The men are being hardened to long marches,
given target practice and thoroughly trained in
the give-and-take of open combat.
This change, in the midst of the greatest
effort of the German general staff of the entire
war, speaks significantly of the spirit of conf
dence that pervades the councils and armies of
America and the allies. When many of the men
in training in this country reach France,
retreating foe may well be the order of the day.
Influential officers returning from the front
have been insisting recently upon the greatest
attention to general elements of warfare and less
to the fine details of position fighting in fixed
trench lines.
These officers say the American soldier takes
naturally to training of this sort and that he
should be developed as highly as possible in all
round soldering, leaving the details of trench
warfare education to be added by brief post
graduate course when he reaches France.

USELESS CAMOUFLAGE.

The three probable detectives of the German
army-division of the French and British
crushing either army, or taking Paris-have all
completely failed, and the German forces today
are less secure than when the drive began, ac-
cording to military experts. What the next
move will be is not yet divulged, and in the in
term the enemy will be fully occupied consil-
idating his lines bringing up big guns, supplies,
ETC., and improving transportation facilities.
Possibly the lull following these successes will
be utilized for fresh peace talk, but all such
camoufage is useless, because Germany will not
be likely at present to offer terms satisfactory
to the allies and German peace with its poten-
tialities for another is not possible.
Germany has no thought of retiring within
her original boundaries, no willingness to give
reparation for the ravaging of small nations,
and absolutely no repentance whatever for either
the colossal crimes against justice and humanity
or the wholesale violation of the entire moral
code. Peace with such an unsrupulous and i'm
moral power as Prussian militarism is unthink-
able and cannot even be considered, until that
power has been crushed and in its place one es-
tablished upon ideals more consonant with
modern civilization.
Nothing can compel such a change as this in
the Prussan mind or destroy it's lust for world
power, except decisive victory, the outlook for
which improves daily. British and French
forces seem quite able to hold on, and the Amer
leans are being rushed across in surprising
numbers.

Workmen at Ship Yard Use Bicycles.
A large number of the men employed
at the Pensacola ship building plant
are using bicycles having recently
purchased a great number of Yale
machines as we'll as other popular
makes sold in Pensacola. AS a rule

Jessie and Ben Ezell who have just

Each of these young men are looking
forward to another similar trip.
Bicycle Police in u. S.
At present there are more than 50,-
900 bicycle police in the United States,
and II the war continues much longer
practically all of the mounted police
of the large cities will have to give
up their horses for either bicycles or
motorcycles.
For many reasons. police depart
ment officials favor bicycles against
horses. The original cost of the bicycle
is very small. The upkeep charges
are small and the average life OF
police wheel Is five years In addition
to this. the bicycle keeps the men in
excellent physical shape.
In the New York Police Department
the bicycle is now employed more ex-
tensively than ever before. There are
1900 bicycle mounted patrolmen in
the five boroughs of greater New York
and the police officials estimate that
these men daily do the patrol duty of
more than 10000 foot patrolmen.

TO UTILIZE GARBAGE.

A campaign for the utilization of garbage has
been inaugurated by the United States food adj
ministration, which is advising all state admin
istrators to urge upon housekeepers the neces-
sity for keeping garbage (kitchen and table
refuse) in separate container from other house
refuse
Figures and statistics issued by the food adj
ministration show that in one ton of garbage
there is sufficient glycerine to make the ex-
plosive charge for fourteen 75-milmeter shells,
enough fatty acid to manufacture Is pounds
Of soap. fertilizer elements to grow eight bushels
Of wheat, and score of other valuable materials
essential in the manufacture of munitions
1t is also pointed out that "a cities of over
100000 are not utilizing garbage, and that the
combined population, which is estimated to be
over 100000, is wasting 100000 pounds of
aitro-glycerine and 100000 twelve-ounce
.akes of SOAP besides 10000 tons of tankage,
which contains fertilizer elements sufficient to
produce three million bushel wheat CROP The
value of this loss of materials is estimated at
s5,000,0O0.

About S1,5OO,000,0o0 treasury certificates of
Indebtedness have been sold to the banks and
corporations for the purpose of meeting income

issued statement to member banks of that dis

Art and Science.

In a recent number of the Bookman
William Lyon Phelps thus sets forth
the advantage a work of art possesses
over a scientific book: "a great work
of art is never old-fashioned because
it expresses in final form some truth
about human nature, and human ma
ture never changes-in comparison
with its primal elements, the noun
tains are ephemeral. A drama dealing
with the impalpable human soul Is
more likely to stay true than a treatise
on geology. This is the notable adj
vantage works of art have over work,
of science, the advantage of being ant
remaining true. No matter how i'm
portant the contribution of scientific
books, they are alleged with inevitable
error, and after the death of their au-
thors must be constantly revised by
lesser men, improved by smaller minds,
whereas the masterpieces of poetry,
drama and fiction can not be revised
because they are always true. The lat
est edition of work of science is the
most valuable; and In literature, the
earliest"

At Sega mill heavy lombard

guns of large and small calibers, as
well as machine guns and rifles. One

Scriven sgas making observations,

MIGRATION of Caribou.

are in the vicinity of Forty Mile river
and at various other points. The to-
tai number of animals moving south

at 100000 head. 1t is characteristic
