Colonel Thomas Took a Bath He Didn’t Order
When Horse Decided to Lie Lown
in Aumond Lake
Camp Wheeler.—Colonel Thomas took
a bath he didn’t order Thursday while
riding with General Harris through the
country with the staff officers of both
commanders.
The Colonel, who is in command of
the Second Infantry, rides a Texas horse
of independent mental habits. The caval
cade had ridden briskly through the sun
and dust for several miles approached a
ford through one end of a small lake.
The Colonel rode in to cool his mount.
The horse liked the water so well that
he actually sciuealed with delight and,
Regular Army Officers Teach
the National Guardsmen That
Recklessness is Not Bravery
Soldiers Are Being Taught to Act Quickly in Cases of Emer
gency, But to Think Before They Act,'and Be Sure They
Are Right Before Going Ahead.
(By Winfield W. Dudley, Publisher
of Griifin News, Correspondent At
tached to Brigade Headquarters).
Camp Wheeler- —'‘Don't pet shot”
Captain Kimbrough told the officers
of the Georg.a National Guard yes
terday afternoon when they gather
ed for instruction at General Haris’
headquarters.
"Your training costs the govern
ment too much,' continued the in
structor, “for you to be needlessly
withdrawn from service."
Soldiers at Camp Wheeler are re
ceiving the most practical and bene
ficial kind of instruction. They are
leanring that recklessness •is not
oravery. They are learning to act
quickly in cases of emergency; hut
to think before they act and he sure
they are right before going ahead.
On the first day of the maneuver
grounds Captain Kimbrough and the
officers of the "regular army associat
ed with him, one to each regiment,
r3qulred the troops to work out prob
lems on the field, each daV’s work
leading up to a certain point to be
taken up the next day. How well the
officers and men did their work and
seriously gave attention to the les
sons was exhibited at the first re
view of morning maneuvers held by
the entire corps of officers at brigade
headquarters.
On this occasion Captain Kim
brough called for d scussions of the
mornings' work from the other in
structors who had been In direct touch
with the men working out the de
tails. Without exception these offi
cers, while telling of mistakes made,
complimented the commanders and
the men under them for exerting
every effort to comply with instruc
tions. Considering that this was the
first day working together, the army
officers said, the entire bridage show
excellent spirit and traffting.
It was in the final slimming up of
the day’s work that Captain Ktm
brough told the offcers that when
under fire they were to lie flat on
the ground, command their men by
signals (which signals are being
taught at camp) and preserve their
lives and the lives of their men in
every way possible.
Every lesson given the officers has
a direct application to the d'.ties of
the soldiers in civil life. Aggressive
ness without recklessness being in
sisted upon in every lecture. How
well this applies to the young business
man! During the tactical ride taken
Thursday by the field and staff of
ficers with General Harirs, Captain
Kimbrough going as instructor, the
officers were required to work out a
problem oT protecting with an ad
vance guard, patrols and scouts a
moving column in the enmy's terri
tory. The problem was worked out
by steps in logical sequence as the
cavalcade proceeded through the
country and in summing it up Cap
tain Kimbrough drew conclusions
that applied exactly and forcefully
to the work of every man in business
or professional life
Protected Men from Surprise.
‘‘The commander of the advance
guard," said Captain Kimbrough, “is
entrusted by the commanding officer
with protecting them in column from
surprise. Should the point of the ad
vance be fired upon from an unseen
force the responsibility of ths com
mander is tremendous. If he is too
timid he will unnecessarily delay the
march and may cause the entire mair.
body to be utilized in learning by
what strength they are opposed. On

IN NELMS CASE
Brother of Missing Girls Sees
Senator Hoke Smith Regard

the missing women, Is here, and has

Mr. Nelms reached Washington
yesterday and at once sought a con

whom he statel his mission nd dis

was the desire ot Mr. Nelms that the
department of justice be called upon
to Institute proceedings against In
nes for alleged violation of the Mann
white slave act, and that the postof
fice department move against the
Portland lawyer for alleged use of
the United States mails for f-audu

It developed after the conference
that the department of Justice al
ready had the case under advisement,
but has made no decision and Is like
ly to make no Immediate move.

and get under the water completely.
Colonel ThompHon stepped off into the
water about waist deep and waded
ashore.
Colonel Thomas laughed with the of
ficers and said he enjoyed it if the horse
did. The way the ranking officers at
Camp Wheeler take discomfort is a great
example to tlie young men under their
command. Since the establishment of
the camp no irritability has been cx
pressed by any of the officers of rank
so far as the men under or around them
could discern.

commander is reckless lie may rush
into a force so strong that the com
manding olficer of the main body
would he drawn into a battle from
which lie could not wthdraw wnether
he wished to fight at that time and
place or not.”
The value to a national guard of
ficer of such, instruction is that Cap
tain Kimbrough makes it so plain,
so interesting and so forceful that ci
vilians can draw from his lectures as
much benefit as soldiers. His pic
ture of the advance guard is typical
of the young man sent into new ter
ritory to open up a market for the
sale of goods, of the mechanic sent
to repair a piece of valuable machin
ery, of the young physician entrust
ed with the lives of patients or the
lawyer efitrusted with the .ntersts
of clients. Today military training
teaches the preservation of peace by
teaching ji detail all the dan/-ra and
horrors of jar. The fighting force
placed into tfto field today is too
deadly a force to be handled with
out extreme care and expertnejjs.
A'ter twenty-four hours of becom

Edwards is expert even to the prepa

won’t let anybody cut the fire wood

“It won’t heat the pots on the side

Sergeant Banks corraled a barrel
o’ spuds, big, white and mealy for
Company L. The barrel was laboled
“Salt." Up at the Officers’ Blub a
barrel of spuds of diminutive size was
seen. Whether there was any con
nection between these circumstances
or not deponent saith not. But fried

were exceptionally good.
Lieutenant Cleveland and Lieuten

miss Captain Beck. Clevlaml says
lie does all the work, Nutt says he

neither of them do it —he does all.
None of the privates agree with any

“The higher up you go, the less

PRINCE FARED
JUST AS HARO
London Oxford University Officers’
Training Gorps, in whose ranks Is the
l’ l Into of Wales, have Just been put to
n severe inspection test by Colonel Lyn
don Bell, from the war office. It was
no picnic affair, but they came out of It
with flying colors.
The corps was divided into opposing
forces, and marched out of Mytohett
enmp on Monday afternoon under socrot
orders in the blazing Hunshlnn tho two
columns separated, moving north and
south, unci when Homo 20 miles apart the
orders wore opened.
The Northern or Red column, in which
w'uh Ihe l’rlnco, was directed to move as
an escort to nn important political per
sonage through u hostile country to
Bnunshlll House, where important docu
ments were concealed. A march of many
miles before tiio column.
Every man had a waterproof sheet
strapped to his back and a well-filled
haversack and water-bottle. They strode
along apparently regardles of the ln
tetiNe heat which beat full In their fares,
and by evening hid arrived hot, dusty
and thirsty at Filacl.water, tho eastern
edge of the three miles level of Hart
ford Bridge Flats. The prince, with
Jacket and shirt-collar wide open and
his cuffs rolled hack, was unrecognisable
in tiie travel-stained crowd of kha«\i
c|ad cadets who drew up beside the road
to await orders while cyclist scouts and
cavalrymen went forward to reconnoitre.
Colonel Htenning decided to blvouao
at the roadside on tho common. Food
was taken from haversacks, and the lit
tle column made itself as snug as pos
sible for the night. There was no wash
ing and very little rest before them, for
before davbreak they were to be on the
move again. A blanket apiece was served
out from the wagon, and, wrnpepd In this
and lying on the waterproof sheet, the
Prince and his companions snatched a
llttje sleep. While it was still dark they
were astir and packing up, and after
cocoa and r biscuit they were ready to
move.
The Blue column In the meantime had
made a forced march across the country,
and were lying astride the western edge
of the Flats. The Red column were
soon aware of their presence, and a
desultory brush between the advanced
troops enveloped In the early morning
Into n runnig fight, the Reds constant
ly working away to their right flank.
When the cease fire sounded they had
reached BramshiH Mouse, and presum
ably gained the precious documents.
A rest was then enjoyed while the
cooks prepared breakfast on the battle
field 1/4
At 7 o’clock the return to camp bean.
