High-Class Marksmanship

J. 5. Mitchell, in Ieslie's.
 High-class marksmanship with the hand rifle and pistol among, the soudiers, sail DTS and civilians is due for a prodiguous boom within the next couple of months, the main source being the national matches inaugurated by the United States board of promotion of rifle pracrrce, ana the regular events of the National Rifle association which are scheduled to pre- cede the big tourney. As far as variety goes, the programme as it is now needs no further improvement, for not onYy have the rifle and pistol experts been exhaustively catered to, but the trap shooters will also come in for a slice of the glory. The scene of this small arms display will be the National Rifle range at Caldwell, N. J., a habitable stretch of land that has been scooped out of a quagmire, known for centuries as the Great Peace Meadow. How far the pro- ject has been successful may be gath cred from the fact that today there are 100 well-appointed targets with ranges of 200, 800 and 1000 yards, with plenty of space to construct other ranges at all intermediate distances. But the thing most commendable and worthy of ap- preciation on the part of the rifle en- thusasts is that it was purely patriotic motive that prompted the acquisition of the Caldwell plant. The governing power in rifledom saw how vital it was that all classes Of Americans should be well
 schooled in the use of the rifle and pis-

 this simple, kindly man, Sir Hugh Oak ley. whose intellectual honesty is ab soluts. He begin in 1916 with the or dinary uncritical acceptance of tho lSrighteouness of his country's cause; bA degrees, as the war unfolds, as the se- cret treaties are revealed, as he comes to understand the sinister influence oi war on the financier, the crowned head and the capitalist, his intellectual hon. esty turns him in violent revulsior against the allied cause. He practically becomes pro-German. Then the in- famous treatment of Russia and Ru mania by Germany leaves him with out faith in any government. He ther grows able (through an English gen tleman) to criticize the ruling class with savage penetration. But in 191S his emotions carry him away and he realizes that the spirit of race stands higher than it's government, and tha1 the Anglo-Saxon spirit, the spirit o, England and America, are the ones which alone afford hope for the future Side hy side run the stories of his sor Stephen, marred by the war into synic ism; of his younger daughter.
