FOG HALTS RANGE
! WORK OF ARTILLERY
AT NORTH AUGUSTA

With but IS shells Of the 1900
which were to be fired by the 152nd
Field Artillery remaining in their
caissons, Battery A, the last of the
three batteries to go to the range at
Sidney Bog for service practice, was
forced by the rain to abandon their
work for the day and to return to the
camp. The battery had fired 800
rounds of shrapnel and IS rounds of
high explosive at that time, and with
good weather today they should COM
plete their practice in a sort time,
as the guns were left at the range
under guard.
Each battery fires 800 rounds of
shrapnel and 100 rounds Of high ex-
plosive during the course Of their
fire and every officer whether battery
commander or staff officer has a
chance to work out a problem. 1t
is interesting to learn that Capt. I.
A. Luke, the regular army instructor
with the battalion. has been keeping
a record of the work done by each
officer, noting the individual shots
and the time taken to change the
adjustment of each and he has found
that this time has been reduced by
about one fifth and the shots them
selves have been more effective than
l.
his statistics have been doing much
better work this year than they did
last year.
The practice this year has gone off
much faster than heretofore. This
year it has taken each battery but
one day to complete their range work
with good weather, this being bet
ter than the time of last year by a
half day. Battery A, which began
firing on Wednesday morning at 7.30,
had done the greater part of its
work when the rain halted proceed
ings about o'clock and there is no
doubt that they would have finished
by Wednesday evening. The rain,
however, made the bog so foggy that
it was very difficult to see the targets
so that it was thought best to post
pone the remainder of the practice
until the weather cleared up.
If the weather today is fair the
battery will finish it's practice and
the other batteries will go to the pis-
tol range for practice. in preparation
for the State shoot at Auburn next
week. Each battery will probably
sent a team to the meet to compete
with teams from the other National
Guard outfits in the State.
On Friday the horses Will be load
ed and sent back to their owners. as
many OF them are owned by the
Great Northern Paper Company.
Several were also procured from
Pennington and an officer and sew
eral men will see that they are re-
turned.
On Friday evening the non-coms of
the battalion will hold their banquet
and If is eXDected that this will take
place at the Augusta House.
On Saturday the boys will prob
ably be paid off and they will police
up the grounds and prepare to break
camp on Sunday to return to their
homes.
Adjutant General James w. Han
son was the host on Wednesday night

Advance Hour of
Speaking at Island
Park G.. 0. p. Meeting

The time of the speaking at the
big Dawes meeting at Island Park,
Lake Cobbosseecontee has been
changed. 1t is now scheduled to
begin at 100 instead Of at 2 o'clock.
BY this change, the whole meeting
will be over at a comparatively
early hour so that the hundreds
who attend will be able to reach
their homes for supper.
There has been another change
that Is of more than ordinary mo-
ment so far as the political cam
paign in Maine is concerned. In
stead of hiring an amplif1er, the
Republican National committee has
purchased one for use all over the
country and this will have its first
service at the Island Park meeting.
Hon. Burleigh Martin, chairman of
the Kennebec county Republican
committee, was notified Wednesday
that this amplifier has already left
Republican National headquarters
and will report to him on Friday in
ample season for all arrangements
for it's use to be completed before
Saturday.
This amplifier is mounted on a
truck. may be used either indoors
or out, and moved anywhere. More
than that, it Is also equipped with a
