THE BALANCING POLE-THE FLYING MACHINE

To (fn across in a flylnjc machine is quite a simple affair, compar

The life of the average woman, crossing the stream of life with
its difficulties ami dangers, is a Rood deal like that of an acrobat walk

Last Battle of Cavalry Squadron
Fought at the Camp Yesterday
(By T. BLASINGAME, Troop K, 2nd
Cavalry.
The cavalry squadron had Its last
battle among Its own tropg yesterday,
the Infantry not participating at all.
The squadron was formed about 8
o’clock yesterday morning on the field
where the review was held last Sun
day. Prill was carried on for an hour
by all five troops, under Lieut. McCabe
the t’nited States Instructor. He de
clared that It was one of the finest
squadron drills he had ever witnessed
In any national guard.
After this, the problem work was
taken up. Troop A and F, under Capt.
NeHl of Troop P were sent in to
ward camp to take a position on a
line running north and south in the
vicinity of Lake Aumond. Troop* K
and B, under Capt. Yeung of Troop K,
were sent to Raconvllle, from which
point they were to make an attack on
Augusta, advancing eastward The de
drfendlng forces were very soon tn
position on the beach of the lake, and
the tiresome work of heating the bush

o’clock. Lieut. Garrett, of Troop K

Troops L and F, under Capts. Pudisa!
and Waite, were the support and re
serves, and this main body, under Cat*.
Young of Troop K, was soon on til*
march, about 800 yards In the rear
of the advance guard.
The work of the advance guard was
the slow, strenuous work of patrollng
thoroughly the front and flanks of the
attacking army, seeking information
as to the location of the defending line
by possible contact wtlh the enemy's
patrol. After being on the march for
about half an hour, word was received
from Lieut. Garret that the enemy’s
patrol had been sighted in considerable
numbers. This led to the belief that
the enemy had taken position In skir
mish line, dismounted on the hill Just
east of t-ake Aumond.

Garret safely conveyed his men across
open gTound to the bridge, and by send
ing them across in short rushes, two
at a time, son drew the fire of the
enemy’s outposts, and in a short time
had developed the exact position of the
defensive line. This point in the man
euver was reached at 1 o’clock, and
as the men had spent three hours la
searching the woods, mounted and
dismounted, and as mess call had been
heard in camp, not far away, an hour
since, recall was sounded and the
troops returned to camp.

11. S. Ilf CHARGE
OF SHIPPING ?
President Wilson Mas Plan
For Bringing Much of
World’s Tonnage Under
American Flag During
Troubles.
*
Washington.—President Wilson ha®
has a plan in mind for bringing much
of the shipping of the world under the
American flag during European
troubles by having congress pass a law
admitting to Ajnerican registration the
vessels of other nations. He discussed
with Majority Leaders Kern and Un
derwood and other members of con
gress today the advisability of intro
ducing such bills.
The president believes the merchant
ships of European nations would be
glad to register under the American
at this time in order to prevent being
pressed into service on being captured
as prizes.
Representative Adamson told tho
president that the Panama Canal act,
whk’i permits American registration
of all ships 'owned by American cor
porations or individuals and officered
by Americans was sufficient to meet
the situation. He thought foreign gov
ernments might resent it if new leg
islation to capture their commerce
were passed in this crisis.
It was agreed that Representative
Underwood and Senator Kern should
thoroughly investigate all existing
law's. Mr. Underwood sadi nothing
would be done unless a genral war
broke out in Europe.
