GUARDS TO BREAK
CAMP FOR HOME
D. c. Mi|itiamen, Hardened
by Field Work, Pack
Up Today.

Special Dispa Itch to The Star
CAMP LEE, Petersburg. Va. August
Zs-lntensive training at this camp
for the 5th Infantry. District of Co
| lumbia National Guard ended at noon
today after final inspection of the
outfit by Maj. Gen. Omar Bundy, com
mander of Camp Lee.
The men were granted leave from
the reservation after inspection until
reveillee tomorrow, when they will
turn out and prepare for the journey
| back to Washington. Much police
work remains to be done before the
outfit leaves camp Monday morning
All barracks occupied by the District
guard will be thoroughly cleaned out,
horses loaned by the remount sta
ton at Camp Lee returned and the
entire place put in apple pie order
The guard members are enthusiastic
over the good time they have had
here and are looking forward to an
other outing next year. They are
particularly enthused over the recep-
ton given them by the ed Infantry,
and hope the rumor that it will be
moved to Camp Meade is untrue. If
the regular Army unit is moved 10
the Maryland camp the District boys
are already planning dance in their
honor at the armory in Washington.

men to a fine point and they are

notwithstanding the sketchy way

fundamentals, the officers feel the
District command would compare well
with older militia outfits. They are
particularly well drilled in squad pa
troll work and company field forma-
tions. which the Regular Army in
structors have had them go through
daily. In addition to the formations
they have been put through course
of grenade throwing, with both dead
and live grenades. company patrol

"Battle" Shows Rough Spots.
The sham battle, in which the
entire command, with the excep-
| ton of the band, took part. brought
out a few defects in field tactics.
THESE were quickly remedied, how
could go through another such affair
with credit.
The bandsmen have been practicing
daily and each night for the past
week there has been concert in
front of the officers barracks.
Capt. Gladman, commanding officer
iof the outfit, now considers the band
the equal of any in Washington and
lis looking forward to many dances
at the armory during the winter.
The men and all their material will
be loaded on trucks Monday morn
| ing and taken to the station in Peters
burg. where they will board a train
for Washington shortly before noon,
arriving in the Capital at 4:30 o'clock.

Operating and traffic officers
throughout the Pennsylvania system
have been instructed to ask the CO.
operation of shippers in all parts of

HARDIN, Manchuria, August 81
Western Siberian peasants have over

nikolaievsk. Omsk, Barnaul and other
important towns, it is reported here
from reliable sources. Isolated peas
ant uprisings, which have been in
progress since spring, appeared to

rection. This was led by an uprising
of theSKirghiZ tribesmen which fol-
lowed the withdrawal of the bolshe-
vik troops, presumably for the Polish
front.
The tribesmen were Joined by c
sacks and detachments of anti-b,
shevik troops. which furnished them
competent leadership. This force
marched on the more important CEN
tiers. but found them already in the

rected to do so by the council whose direct
servant as Corporation Counsel of the City
Of Seattle he was. Il do not oppose the

bold to announce in his last Mondays
speech, but at no time has he said he was
an advocate of the city owning not only
it's own street car system, but all of the
public utilities within it's corporate limits.
Elect Hugh Caldwell mayor of Seattle
and before the first year Of his two-year
term expires, in all human probability he
will submit proposition to the voters to
sell the system to some private concern Oh
the grounds that the city is unable to make
it pay, which will be due to the fact that
Mayor Caldwell had put man at the head
of it with the view Of balling it to that end.
We are not unmndful of similar attempt
having been made some years ago against
the municipality owned lighting plant, when
Mayor Gill made trusted employee of the
Seattle Electric Company superintendent of
the lighting system, who set about to syste-
matically destroy the usefulness of the
plant, with the view of forcing the city to
dispose of it and thereby give the Seattle
Electric Company absolute control of the

zens have no conception of the real mean
ing of that phrase.
strange coincidence in this mayorality
campaign lies in the fact that, the platforms
OF Fitzgerald and Caldwell apparently
agree to the very letter, which, if true,
means that Caldwell has made up his mind
that he must always hold some kind of al
office, and to do this, he wants the voters
OF the City of Seattle to disrupt the present
smoothly-running municipal government to
satisfy his personal ambitions. If he does
not stand for more than does Fitzgerald.
and his platform does not show it, then
what's the advantage of turning Fitzgerald
out to put Caldwell in? Granted he will
bounce Tom Murphine because he is a
politician, but he doubtless will either fill
Murphine's place with politician of his,
Caldwell's liking or with some man who
is an enemy to the municipal ownership OF
the street car system, and this we earnestly
believe is the milk in the cOcOanut Cald-
well has never yet said he is for the NIL
nicipal ownership Of the street car system.
He did say, in reply to an article in Cay
tons Weekly one week ago that he had
drawn all the ordinances for municipal
ownership and directed the council on many
occasions in municipal legislation. Most as
suredly he did and all because he was di.

lighting system Of this city. So fragrant
was the deal that the citizens rose in their
might recalled Mayor Gill and elected
George w. Dilling his successor, who i'm
mediately fired the plant tool of the Sc
attic Electric Company and placed the
system in charge of j. d. Ross, who favored
the success of the plant and under him it
has been and is most brilliant success.
MIR. Ross is still superintendent Of the plant
and with c. B. Fitzgerald as mayor he will
so continue. History, it has been said, re-
peats itself and it appears to us that the
enemies of the municipal street car system
have planned to do to it what the enemies
Of the lighting plant did to it--load it
down with sinkers and then declare it i'm
possible to make it float. The trick was
discovered in the niche of time and the
lighting plant was rescued from it's wreck
ers and we trust that the voters will profit
from past experience and not give the enc.
mics OF the street car system an opportun-
ity to Go it dirt, which will, in our opinion,
be DONE if Hugh NJ CALDWELL late major
in the United States Army, is elected mayor
of Seattle.
Though the municipal campaign has been
under Roadway for nearly three weeks the
only serious charge Mr. Caldwell has
brought against Mayor Fitzgerald is that

in his office, or he would not resign. So
he too like Hanson, dictated his successor.
Now, may perhaps, Caldwell's running for
mayor is after all but political camoufage,
and if elected, he will hold the office for
few months and then offer to resi- On, pro-
viding he himself be permitted to name his
successor, and, perhaps, the city council
will feel cit a good radiance Of bad rub
bish,' and be of the further opinion that
any change would be for the better, and
willingly concede to his wishes and elect
his choice as his successor That being
satisfactorily accomplished he would an
nounce himself a candidate for United
States senator, have the political machinery
of Seattle to back up his candidacy and
start on his way rejoicing. Oh, no! Hugh
Caldwell is no politician he has never held
a hand in the game. At the political game
he is innocent as was certain man
of the Roman age, who was taken from
his pillow and made praetor of the Roman
Empire, which he held until the country
was saved from invading hands, when he
returned to his pillow.

ABOUT THE MAYORSHIP

If c. b. Fitzgerald had nothing else to
recommend him for the office of mayor but
his record on the municipal railway, that
would be ample evidence to convince us
that he is the man over all for the place
From the very inception of the Seattle mu-
nrcipality owning the street car system
within her gates Mr.. Fitzgerald has been
it's constant and consistent FRIEND not it's
friend in order to kill it, but it's friend for
it's everlasting success. He is still its
friend and both he and his appointees arc
continuing to make it success and do so
without raising the fare to the patrons of
the system. While Tacoma, Spokane and
Portland street car systems, and even the
privately owned system of Seattle, have
all raised their street car fares to six,
seven and eight cents, on the Seattle mu
nicipal street car system you can still ride
for fve-cent fare and be transferred on
that one fare and this is due to the fact
that Mayor Fitzgerald and his appointees
have stubbornly resisted all efforts to have
the fare increased.
1t has been charged by one Of the mayor
atty candidates that the figures Of the sys-
TEN are being juggled, with the view Of
making it appear the system is on paying

he voted for himself for mayor.
In social affairs. when two per-
sons are candidates for the same
honor, it is customary for them
to exchange votes; but we sus-
pect Woodrow Wilson voted the
straight Democratic ticket, when
he was candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States and

well will not vote for either Fitz-
gerald or Duncan for mayor,
which will leave him the alter
native of either voting for him.
self or not voting at all, and he
will vote if he is able to get to
the polls. Another accusation
that Caldwell lays at the door Of
Fitzgerald is, his election was
forced by Ole Hanson, which is
doubtless true, but that is a
game that Caldwell very success
fully played once upon a time.
When Caldwell desired to seek
fame and fortune, which he could
use to an advantage in subse-
quent years, when he would seek
office, as a 'majah" in the army,
in order to do so he had to resign
from the office Of Corporation
Counsel of Seattle. Before, how
ever, he rendered his resignation
he exacted an iron-clad agree
ment from the members of the
city council that they would vote

bringing evil doors to the bar of justice
Mr. Caldwell disclaims of being politician.
which is not borne out by the facts, for
he has lived in Seattle fifteen years and
within that time he has held office under
prosecuting attorneys for five years. He
also served nearly three years as corpora
ton counsel for Seattle and resigned that
to step into a majorship in the L. S. Army,
and having hung on to that as long as it
lasted he returned to Seattle and at once
began to lay his pins to get some other
kind of an office and is now candidate
for mayor of Seattle, because the salary
attached thereto is $500. Mr.. Caldwell
may not be a politician, but politician
would have to 90 some to do more office
holding in Seattle than one Hugh NJ. Cald-

speech that it was the office he was after
and he made it rule, when he wanted an

basis, when in fact, it is running
behind, all of which is absolutely
preposterous. If the money IS
not in the tills how can it be Jug
gIed SO as to pay the bills. For
an example, if you have 800
how can you juggle it so as to
pay 5000 worth of bills? 1t is
fact that the street car system
is and has paid from the very
beginning and Mayor Fitzgerald
is largely responsible for the
same.
In an address last Monday
evening Hugh NJ. Caldwell at
tackled Mayor Fitzgerald for
maintaining Tom Murphine in Of
flee and thereby injecting politics
into municipal affairs. In other
words, he would have the public
to understand that Tom Muir
phine is the only politician in
King county and his connection
with the street car system puts
the whole into politics. Does Mr..
Caldwell know of Mr.. Murphine
having done anything crooked in
the system? If so, why, as a
loyal patriotic citizen he has not
complained to the states attor-
ney and asked that Mr.. Murphine
be charged with malfeasance in
office? Mr.. Caldwell is not only
an attorney at law, but for many
years he was connected, as chief
deputy, with the prosecuting at
