BROAD PROGRAM
IS FACING MILITIA
Marching Under Heavy Packs
New Feature of Armory
Drill Plans.

Inauguration Of a strenuous training
program designed to put the militia Of
the country on the top as a first-line
support Of the Regular Army has been
called for by the War Department for
the training year which begins at the
close of the current annual encamp-
ments and runs until the conclusion
Of the field training periods of 1899
Special attention is directed to the
training of the smaller units into all
of the details Of the duties which they
would be expected to perform while
in the field under service conditions
The primary purpose Of all the train
ing Is to permit all the units to take
the field on short notice with COM
plete plans for defense against any
enemy. The National Guard Bureau
points out that eficient training in
field service is one Of the prime essen
tials Of the program which has been
mapped out.
The field for combat training, it
was added, IL almost unlimited with
the many weapons of today, and the
instructions outline type Of training
for all branches of the militia, deal
ing particularly with hostile attacks
by air and by chemical agents.
Night operations are called for dur
ing the training year. This indicates
that the militia units will have to turn
out during the evenings and spend the
time in the field, instead Of just car
rying on their training work in the
daytime during the encampments. In
structions are to include the power
and use Of weapons and the control
ling influence Of terrain on the power
Of maintaining firing during combat
as well as instructions in the use of
cover for concealment, particularly
from airplane operations.
The War Department stresses the
importance Of Guard units paying
particular attention to the fitness Of
the men In the organization, particu-
larly the officers. In order to be of
any service in any campaigns Of the
future, the fact was stressed that the
men must be In the height of physical
fitness, and in this connection the de-
partment lays stress on the value of
the development Of athletic programs
in connection with the serious field
training.
During the armory period next year
all units have been instructed to give
considerable period to marches by the
dtsmounted units. This means, 1t was
explained, that instead Of taking their
drills in armory drill halls, the units
must get out on the road. The marches
will be started with light packs, going
to full pack loads just before the an
nual encampments.

COMMENT ON SMYRNA

"a correspondent of the Every
Evening thus states the condition
of our baseball club at the close of
the season: Now that the ball
season is over, those most directly
interested find the experiment of
maintaining club to have been a
costly one. The association is about
$3.50 on the venture, but it is not
at all discouraged at the amount
of its Indebtedness or the showing
of its club at the end Of the season.
Twenty-Five games were played.
OF this number IL We're won. 10
lost and one draw, the latter with
Camden. Smyrna has beaten Cam
den twice, feat no other club in
the State has been able to accom-
plish. During the early part Of the
year the club was without a regu-
lar battery Day and McCafferty
were secured, and in their first
game downed the invincible Cam
den. Stock at once went above
par. This famous battery, how
ever, was unable to permanently
reside here. Several experimental
players were tried, greatly to the
clubs disadvantage. Finally Car
ter and Grawley of the Hazelton,
Pa, team were secured, and new
life was infused into the club, which

Tim in San Francisco" made him
the perfect choice to portray Faith
er Flanagan on the screen. Father
Flanagan thought 50, too, and it
was Tracy,s selection for the role
that influenced him to approved the
filming Of Boys Town" This
gives Tracy a distinction no other
star has enjoyed, that of playing a
living man as the leading charac-
ter Of a motion picture. In fea-
tured supporting role is Mickey
Rooney the rising star, takes the
part Of Whitley Morris; Henry
