MS C RE ARY S —— ' ~ "Home of Good Clothes” 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 "Your training costs the govern ment too much,' continued the in structor, “for you to be needlessly withdrawn from service."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 ASKS U. S. AID IN NELMS CASE Brother of Missing Girls Sees Senator Hoke Smith Regard ing the Disappearance. Washington—The machinery of the United States government probably will be set In motion to hell) solve the mystery surrounding the strange disappearance of Mrs- Lois Nelms Dennis and her ulster,( Miss Beatrice Nelms. Marshall Nelms, brother of the missing women, Is here, and has conferred with officials of the post office department. In the hope of en listing their aid In developing the suspected connection of Victor K. Innes, of Portland, Ore., with, their disappearance. Mr. Nelms reached Washington yesterday and at once sought a con ference with Senator Hoke Smith, to whom he statel his mission nd dis cussed every phase of the case. It 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 lent purposes. 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. Mr. Nelms also conferred with At torney lAßiar and Chief Inspector Johnston, ol the postoffice depart- THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. without notice, proceeded to lie down 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. the other hand if the advance guard 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 ing accustomed to the change of rou tine the members of Company H., form Griffin, have settled down to hard work and study. J. M- Ross was slightly injured in setting up a tent support, but apparently suffered no serious results. Cam]) Cook Edwards and Commis sary Sergeant John T. Banks are the popular individuals with the men after a morning's work In the field Edwards is expert even to the prepa ration of the wood for his fire. He won’t let anybody cut the fire wood but himself. “It won’t heat the pots on the side if you kick It wrong,” said Edwards. 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 potatoes at the mess of Company H, were exceptionally good. Lieutenant Cleveland and Lieuten ant Nutt are enjoying the responsi bilities of command, although they miss Captain Beck. Clevlaml says lie does all the work, Nutt says he does it all; but the top sergeant says neither of them do it —he does all. None of the privates agree with any any of them. Higher Up, Less Work. “The higher up you go, the less ■work thore is done,” said the occu pants of one Sibley tent in chorus. Saturday the problems will be to take up an advance on the enemy In extended order practicing correct eight shooting. The problems of ad vance and rear guard as tugbt the officers by Captain Kimbrough, will be worked out on the field with full quotas of men. Saturday afternoon at brigade headquarters the officers and instructors will review the morn ing’s work, discuss entrenching, map reading and outpost duty. Later a tactical ride 1b ordered for the dis cussion (t' more problems under Cap tain Kimbrough and General Harris. Sunday will be a day of rest with services by chaplains for those who wish to attend and opportunity for visaing city churches which many of the Griffin men and o’ficers will ac cept. Others have expressed their intention to go on a cheap excursion to Tybee. ment, and attempted to convince them that Innes has been guilty of using the mails for fraudulent pur poses In that he obtained money from Mrs. Denn s on representations that It was to he invested ’.n Mon tana, Utah and Mexico. Nelms de clares that the records fail absolute ly to disclose that Innes Invested the money as he agreed to do Ho feels confident that on the strength ot his showing the department will proceed immediately against Innes, and as a result of the activity of the postolflce Inspectors, he hopes the mystery sur rounding the disappearance of his sisters will be cleared up. Mr. Nelms was the picture of sad ness as he laid before Senator Smith a statement oT the long and thus far futile search for his lost sisters. "I can understand how Mrs, Den nis might have le t home, but why Beatrice left Is what. I can’t under stand. It looks like murder has boon committed. I will simply submit my letters to the department of justice and the postmaster general and await results. Th»t 1s all that I can do." Nelms brought with him letters of Introduction from Reuben R. Arnold, Postmaster Boling H. Jones and Dis trict Attorney Hooper Alexander. He presented these to Senator Smith, CHICAGO HOO AND CATTLE MARKET Chicago, Ilia. —Hogs: Receipt* 10 000- lower; hulk *cr.a|»; ||*hf *S6a»OS; mixed 860a»07 1-2; heavy S4onS',r,; plan 77.0 a 9 K—-e-lptw l.OOf; steady; beeves 770a510; eteers tHOuSSO: Stockers .ind feeders OOOalS; cows nod heifers 380 a. 926; calve* 776 s 11.25.

There is a general demand for more blankets, us every man wants two and three. All signs go to show that the guard house will be as popular this year as ever before, if not more so, as it had not been erected more than a half hour before it had its first “visitor." Tile old men are showing the “rookies” the life of a soldier at Camp Private Beet Of Co. “D,” Ist Itegi. of Inf., being sent ail over the Camp for a "tripod wrench,” one man sending him to another, and so on. until lie came back and reported that a negro woman living back a mile and a half from camp said, "Boss, 1 don't knows what you's moan but I can lend yon's a small wrench if that Is what you's want.” Start in Earnest.” Today the maneuvers started in earnest.

After mess the order was Klven too saddle up, and shortly the entire Squadron was ready to march. The five troops were taken about two miles back of the camp, where they were put thru a drill which lasted about two hours. They then re turned to camp, and the rest of thb day there vas little to do, except in the way of gencralw ork, to wide?, various details were assigned. Inspection. First after mess (dinner) the order was given to prepare the tents for In spection. Everything within the tents was put in the most rigid order, and the company streets were cleared of all trash, paper, etc. Then, while the oc cupants of each tent stood at attention In front of their various tents, Maj. Leu mans and his staff passed them thru the camp on a tourp of inspection. He sooin ed to he very favorably impressed with the neatness and order of everything. The afternoon was passed in various ways. A number of the men went to town, while others remained around :amp. A large number of visitors came out in the latp afternoon, and number of men managed to attach themselves to some of the young ladies who came out. This habit follows some of the men wherever they go. They just can’t lieip it. The next time it happens we are going to mention some names, unless tile fellows let us in on the deal. Excitement at the Pond. We heard of one trooper who hod a very Interesting experience down beside the pond, with a buinb'e-bee. He had gone in bathing, and when he came out It seems that one of his trouser legs was occupied by a humble-bee. Now. we have been tnught to always respect the privacy of a bumble-bee.

They are planning to take him homo and use him as a mascot. Yesterday one of their lioraes from the stable of J. A, Cleary in Savannah, had his leg broken by the kick of an other horse. He was killed later in the day after they found out the ex tent of his injuries. Some of the boys of the Hussars have been com plaining of the dust but with the put ting up of the showers yesterday they will have no cause for complaint Some of the men of the first infantry be came rather frisky yesterday ami the horse play indulged in was a trifle rough.

MUCH APPLAUSE HI HIBERNIANS Norfolk, Va.—Tho presence of Sir Roger Casement of Dublin. Ireland, prominent leader of the Irish volun teers, and Bourke Cochran, of New ork, as guests of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, featured the session of that body today. Shortly arter the convention was called to order, Presi dent Aegan was informed of the pres ence In the city of the visitors and appointed a committee to wuit upon them and invite them to tho conven tion. Their arrival In tho hall was the oc casion for an outburst of applause. Their passage from the hotel to tho convention hall was interrupted fre quently by visiting Hibernians, who recognized one or the other of tho vis itors and stopped them to exttnd greetings. Sir Roger, although a lead er in the Irish volunteers. Is a Protes tant, and his remarks to this con vention of Catholics were appreciated all the more. He does not believe there will ha any home rule bill at the present time and the liberal government will have to go before the people on that issue ami also that of the new parliament act, which he describes as "clipping the wings of the house of lords." The best armed force will eventually win, he believes. At present the Ulster ites are. but shortly the Irish volun teers will for outnumber them in arms. He does not believe that tills wlii mean civil war, but thinks the show of strengih will force the demands of the Irish. The remainder of tho session was occupied in hearing reports. 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.
