Knowledge to woman is wha t the balancing pole is to the acrobat. Ts she is very careful, well equlppe d with knowMedge and self-control, she may make the difficult crossing in safety. More often, she falls from th e rope and that is the end. The voice would be to every woman what the flying machine would be to the young person in this picture. Men some day will no longer compel women to undertake this kind of acrobatic performance.

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 es by the cavalry patrols began at 10 o’clock.

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. Sent to Cover Enemy’s Lsft Flank. Troop L, under Capt.

K, the main attacking force. Lieut. 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.

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.
