The bow and arrow for centur-
les was mans best weapon, but
yesterday afternoon the United
States Park Police Revolver and
Pistol Club proved to the Potomac
Archers that guns are more ef-
fective.
Shooting on the park police pis-
tol range at Abingdon. Va, on the
Mount Vernon highway the mixed
teams held the first contest of the
kind in this vicinity. A regular
series of the arrow-bullet contests
will be held next spring as the con-
testants yesterday were not salts
ned with the result. The archers
said they couldn't get used to the
noise of the guns and we're thrown
of their stride. while the Park Po-
lice indicated they wanted series
rather than a lone match.
The police won by 275 points with
q score of LIS for a f1ve-man team
as against $40 points for the archers
using longbows and target arrows.
Besides the noise Of the guns, the
archers said their regular targets
were quite different from those
used by gun shooters However, as
a compensation the archers fired
from the 25-yard line while the po-
lice stood back on the 50-yard mark.

The archers were perhaps more

sounded like the roar of some big

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Nov. l7.-oov.
Nice announced plans for reorgan-
iHng the State Republican party III
preparation for the 1910 election to-
day and called upon party leaders
and workers to make no commit
ments" in regard to omces to b
filled in the election two years hence.
At the same time he declared :
I'm not . candidate for anything.
What will do two years from now
10 matter III decide in'two years.
I do not intend to surrender my
position - titular head Of the Re-
publican party without making q
most aggressive night to retain it,
but I want to insist I an not . can
didate for anything at this time"
The Governors reorganization
plans, announced In . letter to Re-
publicans throughout the State, had
been interpreted by some - . FORE
cast that the Governor would be q
candidate for the United States Sen
ate In 1910.
Health ef Party IL Aim.
MY interest now 10 that Of the
Republican party and In no sense
Of the word Is my interest personal" !"
Gov. Nice asserted. MY desire as
titular head Of the party Is to aim
to take advice Of Republicans al
over the State and erdeavor to bring
the party to . condition where I'VE
may carry on successfully in 1910"
The Governor WAS defeated for re-
election Tuesday by Attorney Gen.
eral Herbert r. O'Conor, Democrat,
who amassed . 700oo-vote lead.
Senatorial aspirations were at
tributed to the Governor by some
who pointed out that Marylanders
will vote on only three major ofnces
in 1o40-the presidency. . Senator
and . Representative.
In his letter, Gov. Nice said Re-
publicans lost by about 10000 votes,
and this should not discourage US. :"
Wide Contacts Urged.
Il intend, with your help" he
wrote, Ito reorganize the Repub-
lican party in order that We may
60 into the fight in 1910 with assur-
ances Of success. viii you do me
the personal favor Of not making
any commitments in connection
with any ONCE to be filled In the
1910 election, and contact your host
Of friends, as well as the Repub-
lican candidates in the last election
IN your section,> making = similar
request Of them?"
The Governor said. There IL
something radically wrong In the
party. I think know the real trou-
BILE. Therefore. I want the advice
of all rather than q selected few"
Gov. Nice said he will return to
the private practice Of law At the
expiration Of his term in January.
He probably will confer with Gov.-
elect O'Conor on State matters next
week. Following the Inauguration
Of Mr.. O'Conor, Gov. Nice plans 4

amined. They learn lot of medical
symptomology, but not enough. Con-
sequently all sorts of strange condi-
tions are suggested to their uncon-
scious minds when they want more
sympathy at home, or to escape 60
ting to school.
No Specific Treatment.
The children who are .speechless
probably represent An extreme form
of this, DR.. Sherman believes. There
is no specific treatment for their
condition. In both cases it came on
suddenly. It will end of itself about
as suddenly, he believes, with some
intense emotional experience such as
terrible fright, religious CONVEX
sion or something Of the sort. But
there Is no way Of predicting what
sort OF an emotional experience will
accomplish this end. It must come
OF itself and may, to all outward
appearances, be quite mild.
Meanwhile, the ground upon which
this experience must work can be
prepared more and more and the
children watched carefully for any
further abnormal DEVELOPMENTS,
Thus far all sorts of tricks" have
failed. The child who has not spoken
for six years, for example, was given
rs q roommate little girl who can't
stop talking, perhaps another form
OF the same malady. The two are

constantly. But there has never
been q single break In the mutism.

ample of the logic of the japanese
! All are aware that a militaristie
bloc rules Japan and dictates hes
foreign policy. The civilian popu-
/ lation of Japan is said to deprecate
the mailed fist policy of Japan in
the Far East and is inclined to be
more humane and considerate Of
other nations than the jingoistic
lsaber-rattlers who appear to be run
ming things, generally, in the land
of the rising sun.
Many believe that, in view of re-
cent events, we, as a nation, will be
forced to adopt firm, attitude and
let it be known, in no uncertain
terms, that the United States will
not tolerate further Fascist aggres-
sions again their nationals.
The famous Chicago speech of the
president strongly implied the ad-
vocacy of "quarantining" Japan.
This action, If put into effect,
might seriously cripple the foreign
trade of Japan, but while of a salu-
tary nature, would not necessarily
defeat her outlaw policy of fragrant.
ly violating the rights of neutrals.
The future activity of Japan,
which will be closely watched from
many quarters, may definitely de-
eide If sterner measures should be
adopted against her by the govern
ment of the United States.
