Trials at Leon Springs were carried On by the three companies of the First brigade under every conceivable con dition that actual service might pre-* sent. More than 100,000 shots were fired during the 12-day maneuvers over the 17,000 aeres of the military reserve. Capt. JamD. Melville and mem bers of the First infantry machine-gun platoon made a record in the rapid-tire test. Shooting on the 1,000-yard range at 21 boldier-silhouette targets nil but one were hit a total of 497 times in 1,800 rounds. This was accomplished with the Maxim gun. The Seventh in fantry company, commanded by Capt. Richard Dunne, using the Lewis auto matic rifle, hit 81 out of 38 targets 44 times at a distance of 1,000 yards. In the pistol practice at 15 and 2f> yards, contrary to usual, remarkably good records were made by medical of ficers. MaJ. William C. Amerson of the First infantry shot 171 out of a pos sible 200, and Capt. Cornelius A. Leen- heer almost duplicated this with u to tal of 170. Most important of all range work was the company firing at the silhou ette targets. Captains led tbeir men around a little nook of forest and onto a cleared space resembling the fair green of a golf course. Hardship Stories Laid to Levi. Young militiamen desiring to appear as martyred heroes in the eyes of their sweethearts write letters describing the terrible hardships1 they are suf fering, declared Lieut. Col. Thomas J. Fltzpatrick, district surgeon. To this natural tendency of enam ored yoi^ng males he ascribes much of 'the "back home" belief that conditions in the National Guards are atrocious. "That is the worst class of offend ers ; youngsters writing to their sweet hearts," says Colonel Fltzpatrick. "The next worst is the black sheep of the family who has gone soldiering and who writes home that he is starving to death; and that his only shirt Is In tat ters and his shoes worn out at the sole. "He promptly gets money from home that he does not need and pro ceeds to spend It In ways that do him harm." Like Hardened Veterans. v - After another well executed march the First Illinois brigade is back at the old stand in Camp Wilson. "It^feels like living in a hotel lobby," said one chap, referring to the roomi ness of the conical tents after two weeks living in the "pups." '• The column* came all the way from Leon Springs without the loss of a man, so far as can t>e learned. Army oflicers assigned to the.march praised the brigade warmly for the excellent showing. Despite rumors of an early homego- lng for the state troops, the placing of big contracts for supplies indicates that the war department la not plao- uing an early withdrawal. Col. Harry L.,Rogers. chief quarter master for the southern department. Is letting more than $500^XM) worth of supplies tn addition to the regular monthly contracts. Governor Inspecta Guarda. x Governor Dunne a«fe in drtnp and did many other of the routine things of the soldier in his Inspection of condi tions among Illinois troops along the border. Governor Dunne insisted on Informality In his Inspection despite •efforts of commanders to hold formal reviews and otherwise give vent to the intense enthusiasm officers and men feel over the presence of the state com mander in chief. Promptly at 8 a. m. Governor Duime was on his way out to overtake the First brigade in the longest hike, 18 miles, it has ever taken. He caught It about half way to Landa Park from Tuxedo. The governor announced there would be no regimental parades or re ceptions in his honor. "I want no frills. The men are here for hard work and I don't want to in terfere with the program." he said. Guards See Long Service. Constructive work at Camp Wilson keeps on in a way that indicates the day wh^n Illinois soldiers will be or dered home is far removed. Among the most convincing bits of evidence to the Chicago t*egiments that their camp is more or less permanent are the new screened mess halls and kitchens now under construction for each company of the First, Second and Seventh regiments. Many of the otber regular aad National Guard units, al ready have had their mesa quarters Nllt and screened. NOTES OF ailARDS. 1.

A row broke loose in the First Illi nois cavalry camp at midnight. Heads were cracked, eyes blackened, noses liquidated, tents torn down, and a general mob scene staged, wjth the re sult that Col. Milton Foreman ordered one whole troop under arrest and placed under guard. Troop 1 accompanied the Third squadron on an 18-mile practice hike. The only man left in the camp was * sick trooper, who is just recovering from an operation for appendicitis. At the same time th£ headquarters troop, of which the regimental band is a unit, was ordered to move Its tents from their old location to a site be side the tents of Troop L Now, the band needed tent pins to hold down its canvas, and there were no pins. There was the almost desert ed camp of I troop and there were tent pins holding down the tents of the ab sent men, who were out on the first practice' march they have had in the six weeks they have been here trying to become soldiers. Troop 1 returned at nightfall, and tried by every Qtakeshift to make the tenta habitable for the night. The sick trooper informed his comrades where the missing tent pins were. Corporal Ferdinand Graber strode gallantly into the headquarters troop street, and under the winking moon began plucking tent pins. The band was on his neck in a short time. He returned to his troop street and called out his comradea iW troop started out to beat the band. The band was waiting for the attack. About 130 men engaged in the me lee,- which , lasted ten minutes. At the end of that time many of the men were nursing black eyes and bloody nooses, and the two troop streets looked like Columbus, N. 1L, after the raid, j Upon the arrival of officers and the guard quiet was restored. Troop I was placed under arrest and the band was ordered back to its'quarters safe and secure in the possession of stolen tent pins. k ! , \' Few Men ill Hospital. A sick list of Illinois soldiers in the base hospital at Fort Sam Houston, is sued by Colonel Ireland, superintend ent, contained the names of 99 enlist ed men and one officer from the eight infantries and Batteries A, B and E. None of the men are in serious condi tion with the exception of Sergeant Lester Phillip of the Third Infantry, whose spine was broken In an auto mobile accident. While militiamen from other states in an number of instances have suf fered from defective vaccination and Inoculation, no Illinois men were ill from this cause. Twenty-one Kan sas soldiers were sent to their homea on furloughs when high prolonged fe vers, for a while believed to he ty phoid, developed after they had been inoculated. The Illinois field artillery battalion is on the ranges at Leoh Springs. There was a rumor that they will not return to Camp Wilson but be sent to the border after completing work at the military reserve. A report without any traceable foundation is to the effect that the Eighth* Infantry (colored) is to be sent to Fort Sheridan or Fort tfenjamin Harrison near Indianapolis, next week. Col. Franklin A Dennison declared that he bad heard nothing ol such or ders. Llent. Col. James Eddy, whose col lar bone was broken when his horse slipped and fell on a wet asphalt street, has recovered. He was con fined to the hospital tor a few daya. Mules Add Zest to Camp Life. Hunting for grizzly bear and deer does not compare in excitement with the sport of retrieving mules in the Texas wilderness. This at least is the boast of the machine gun men of the three Illinois Infantry regiments. The brays of the "lost, strayed or stolen" ring out in the night, startling sentries and leading machine gun heroes into new pursuits in the trackless night. The story of the "mule that came back" is related by Sergt. Jacob Zahn, Sergt. Mete and other members - of the First infantry machine gun camp. "Caroline" was the mule and it broke away from moorings at the outset .of a recent hike. Lassoes and telephone wires became heated in the search for "Caroline," which threatened to be come statewide. In the evening "Caro line" reported for oats at the mole picket line. No one can explain jnst how the mule found Its way over wind ing roada to L^on Springs wi thou t aa- slstance. No Need of Charity. Uncle Sam Is taking care of ad sick soldiers on the border and not depend' ing on charity for the care of a single man. This reply was made from dis trict headquarters here to Indignant queries called forth because of the »re pression given by an appeal sent out by Mrs. Borden Harrluian of New Tork for funds for a charity hospital in Brownsville. s '* Makes Good Score. Dr. George C. Amerson, head of the medical corps of the First, using an automatic pistol at 15 and 25 yards, made a score of 171 out of a possible 200. Capt. Cornelius A.

London, Aug. 22,-j-Two British light (cruisers, the Nottingham and Fal mouth, were sunk on Saturday in the North sea by German submarines while the vessels were searching for the German high seas fleet, according to an official announcement issued by the admiralty on Sunday. One German submarine was de stroyed by the lflritish, while another was rammed and possibly sunk. A German squadron of Some fifteen warships, including large cruisers, is reported in the North sea by trawlers arriving at Ymuiden, Holland, a Ren ter dispatch saya. The squadron was sighted early Sat urday in the region of White Bank and was accompanied by two Zeppelins. It was on a northwesterly course. This is belUwed to be the squadron the Brit ish were searching for. The admiralty statement follows: "Reports from our lookout squad rons and other units showed that there was considerable activity on the part of the enemy in the North sea on Sat urday, the 19th. ' "The German high seas fleet came out, but learning from thdlr scouts that the British forces were in con siderable strength, the enemy avoid ed an engagement and returned to port. • "In searching for the enemy we lost two cruisers by submarine attacks, R. M. S. Nottingham, Capt. C. B. Mil ler and H. M. S. Falmouth, Capt. John Edwards. "All the officers of the former werle saved, but 38 of the crew were missing. All the officers and men of the Fal mouth wete saved, but one leading stoker, Norman Fry, died of injuries. "An enemy submarine was de stroyed; and another was rammed and possibly sunk. "There is no truth in the German statement that a British destroyer was sunk and a British battleship dam aged." (The Nottingham was a vessel of 5,400 tons and was buitt in Pembroke In 1913. Its complement was 380 men. The Falmouth was 5,250 tons. It was built in 1910 and carried a crew of 370 oflicers and men.) Berlin, Aug. 22.' by wireless to Say- ville, N.

Another small cruiser and a battleship were struck by torpedoes and damaged." 13 DEAD IN TEXAS STORM Property Loss Estimated It $2,000,000 --Towns Are Strewn With pebris. ; . . --v-: Corpus Christ}, Tex., Aug. 22.--The loss of life from the tropical storm which struck Corpus Chrlsti and ten adjacent south Texas counties on Fri day night, was placed at 13 oil Sunday, including nine members of the crew of the small freighter Pilot Boy, which foundered off the Aransas pass jetties. Two Mexican men and one Mexican woman were killed at Katherinc, a settlement on the King ranch, near Alice, Tex., and one Mexican was re ported killed at San Diego. Both towns are from fifty to sixty miles in land. The total damage In this section, of which Corpus Christ! bore the heaviest part, was estimated at $2,000,000. This Includes devastation of a large portion of the lower coast's cotton crop, which was ready to be picked. The storm apparently already has spent its force over southwestern Texas, where comparatively little dam age was- done, according to reports here. " G. A.
