and will continue throughout the day
with an hour out for dinner.
The range officers are located on the
road near Sidney Corner and specta-
tors may secure fine view of the FIR
ing by going to that place. The officers
are very courteous and will allow
Spectators to view the firing through
their instruments. thus giving them an
especially fine opportunity to see the
result of artillery fire. The battery
commanders are situated in the Aver
pasture near the Grange hall and this
place also offers a good view Of the
targets.
The Oakland road Is closed TO traffic
during the hours of fire. and although
the Belgrade road Is not closed. 1t is
the wish of those In charge of the
practice that those taking the Bel
grade road should not stop near the
battery. which is situated behind the
Grange hall. but should hasten along.
This Is 80 that In case of any accident
to a gun no one would be hurt in the
roadway.
Adjutant General Hanson comment
ing upon the first days work said that
1t was going fine and that the battery
had worked out some very satisfactory
problems.
Lieutenant Colonel Beebe Of the
general staff at Washington was in the
city Sunday and Monday observing the
cncampment and the work. He is
greatly interested in the work and said
that the 15ond Field Artillery is fine
fit and that they are doing splendid
work He was also greatly pleased
with the encampment.
Other visitors at the camp were Ma
a. H.

native Of Pennington and was for
merly an officer in the Maine National

Battery A OF the 152nd Field Artil.
lery started their range work Monday
at North Augusta Grange hall and dur.
ing the day they made some records
that will make the other two batteries
exert themselves to equal.
The guns were drawn to the range
by two large army tractors which have
recently arrived in the city for this
work. and after the guns were placed
in position. pits were dug on each side
for the use of the gunners. who retire
into them before firing the pieces. This
Is to do away with all possible danger
in case OF premature explosion Of a
shell
Several firing problems were worked
out during the day and very fine re-
suits were secured. The batteries are
working on masked fire." the gunners
being unable TO see their target and
having to rely upon firing directions
received from the 20 p" or observa-
ton post. which Is situated about a
quarter Of mile from the battery
and is connected with 1t by field tele-
phones.
At the 10. P" several officers with
delicate instruments determine the fir
ing data which is 'phoned to the bat
terry commander who in turn notifies
the various gunners. After the adjust
mcnts have been made. the 20. p" tells
the battery commander how many
rounds shall be fired at that particu-
lar range. Both high explosive and
shrapnel were used during the day
with gratifying results.
1t was reported last night that Ma
jor Dingwall, commanding the bat
talon, worked out one problem and
made seven perfect hits out of pos
sible IL.
Last night the members OF the bat
terry camped on the scene of action,
using their shelter tents. At o'clock
