Military Authorities Recognize Value
Of Infantryman Despite Changes
In Modern Warfare,

The Army and Navy Gazette of Lon
don, commenting on the great value of
good rifle shooting in the present war,
says: Happily the military authorities
have not been misled by the results
achieved by the big guns, the bombs,
and the various missile-throwing
trench weapons into imagining that the
infantry soldier has ceased, or was
likely to cease, to be primarily a rife
man, and the good work which was ini-
tiated before the war at Hythe and at
Bisley, and at regimental rifle meet
ings, has been continued and expanded
at the many musketry schools which
have been established behind the front
in France, where selected officers and
men Of our forces have been taught all
that was to be got out of the service

in the account we hear of the wonder

wal In France, was resumed recently
in the chancery, says the London Ex-

right to hold a market at Stowmarket,
Suffolk, and the suit was originally
brought by the abbot of St. Osyth, Es-
sex, in the twenty-second year of Ed
ward II, against Richard de Maunde-
Vile. According to the abbot, who
said he was lord of the manor Rich
ard had wrongfully obtained the grant
of the right to hold market in Stow
market, and his assertion was ito the
grave damage Of the said abbot"
Richard claimed the kings protection,
and eventually the case was adjourned

abroad.
