DAYS gone by. The whine Of 81
nm. shell going over the heads OF
troops unaccustomed to such sounds
is one of the most demoralizing
things recorded in military history.
Officers at Camp Jones call at
tcntion to the patrolling of the
targets when firing is done and
suggest that anyone coming upon a
soldier carrying red flag should
at once find out from the soldier
where the target is, if the direction
is not apparent, and should refrain
from driving across the face of the
target until the soldier reports that
firing has ceased. An instance is
on record of a man with a truck
becoming stranded near one of these
targets and being subjected to fire
for several hours.
This man was down in gully
where the observers could not see
him and the gully also protected him
from the flying lead although even
with the sides of the guiiy for
protection it is considered as q
miracle that he was not killed.

SWEPT BY FIRE
WEDNESDAY,

TOMBSTONE, March % (Special)
During a gale of wind, which swept
over Tombstone at o'clock Wednes-
day morning, fierce fire rapidly
consumed the buildings used for
garage and storage purposes at the
rear of Harry Macia's WOOD yard.
The origin of the unusual fire is
a mystery and is thought may have
been incendiary. The loss is estimated
at about $1,000, truck and car
having been badly damaged. There
was no insurance.
The fire was discovered Ey an
employe of the Epitaph, who rooms
at the San Jose, situated near it
and near the new Epitaph building.
He was the first to reach the scene,
by which time clouds OF black smoke
were moving to windward, smother
ing the entire neighborhood in that
direction, while sparks were sky
rocketting aloft and fierce flames
covered the entire group OF buildings.
The fire department arrived on the
scene too late to save the buildings,
however, the wood and coal piled in
the vicinity were salvaged in q
slightly damaged condition.

Andrews to Address
Kiwanians at Lunch;
White Is Chairman
Whi.e a

Pat White will be chairman of the
Kiwanis luncheon today at noon. The
club is lunching each Thursday at
Speer hall on G avenue. According
to the announcement this week White
will introduce Rev. George Andrews OF
Tucson as the principal speaker.
Andrews is noted orator and the
club is looking forward to hearing
something worth while. Two new
members were introduced to the club
on last Thursday and will be initiated
today. They are W. l.. Smith and
George S. Cowden. Both are well
known in their respective businesses
and represent the type of men
Kiwanis is securing.
New members have been brought
into the club regularly the past few
weeks and the organization is growing
rapidly. The rule that four unexcused
absences drops a man from the rolls
has made all members appreciate their
membership more and a stronger club
has desulted.

INFANTRY SEES
HOW ARTILLERY

Camp Jones gave forth sounds such

morning and the curious hurried to

They found the battalion studying

a detachment which has trained with
a 81 millimeter gun, there being one
assigned to the battalion, demon

The gun was rolled into firing
position on corner Of the parade
and the target was patrolled on
Machine Gun hill some five miles
east of camp Officers reported that
a desirable degree OF accuracy was
attained by the gunnefS. 1t might
be explained that 81 millimeter gun

In Worlds War to Crash
On Peace Trip

Lew Wallace Springer, dead in the

Tuesday was a hero of the worlds
war and Paul S. Greene, 1902 Nine
teenth street, we'll known short story
writer and veteran of the flying serv-
ice, relates some thrilling incidents
from the war experience of Springer.
Greene, who still attends the army
air school each summer and whose
hobby, beyond his writing, is flying, is
proud that he belonged to the same
unit of the air corps that Springer
did. Greene says:
Lew Wallace Springer, of Cimaf-
ron, NJ M, killed in the recent re-
grettable airplane accident in Mexico,
was one of the most valuable officers
in the U. S. air service during the war,
though he was not an ace, and his
fame never spread He was a retiring,
taciturn man, and wished it So

1T was the leading observer who
worked his bomb sight, and signaled
the others in the formation, who were
supposed to protect him from the
enemy, when to drop their bombs
Upon his nerve and accuracy the en-
tire success of bombing raid de-
pended, for if he failed the bombs of
the whole squadron would go wild, and
the trip was wasted.
while Springer was leading a raid
on October 81, 1918, the squadron was
attacked by a number of German
FokkerS. Their leader by very
clever and unsupported maneuver,
managed to dive into the middle OF
the American formation and wounded
Springer and riddled his plane.
~The observer kept on attending to
his work, however, and guided by him,
the squadron was able to make sue

lines Springers pilot found for the
first time that his companion was

Entire Department
Responds to Alarm
During High Vino

A fire alarm which alarmed the
firemen very genuinely, was turned
in from box Is at 500 p. m. yes
terday. The fire was found to be
from an over-heated cook stove at
the home of Manuel M. Vejar, 535
Third street. The firemen were
alarmed because of the high wind,
and got at the seat of trouble with
remarkable speed.
The fire was quickly extinguish-
ed. Damage was estimated at
about $40. Due to the high wind,
the entire force turned out and the
engines from the central station
met those from the east end station
at the scene of the blaze, both sec
tions of the department having
acted with the habitual celerity that
characterizes the local fire fighters.
