Gii.VERAL HEADQUARTERS, Ameri can Lake. Wash., Aug. 12. (Staff Corre spondence.) Uncle Sam's big fighting machine here is lolling about camp to day. The 8000 integral parts of the brigade mechanism are being given an opportunity t store up energy for the wear and tear of a week's campaigning. This campaign will begin with the sound ing of reveille. Only such men as are necessary to carry out the camp routine are on duty today. The others are lying in their tents, strolling about in the woods or swimming in American Lake. During the next seven days there will be much loss of avoirdupois. Forced marches, night bivouacs, skirmish fight ing and the hundred and one arduous Incidents of active service will tend to remove surplus weight and put every man engaged into fine condition. The regulars are already hardened and bronzed, but the guardsmen as yet are uncolored by the' sun. although tomor row's campaigning will give them a good start towards the coveted coloring of a . veteran. Oregon Men Favorites. Oregon's troops are already in favor with the men of the regular service. Not even those regiments that have been here a month are any more comfortably or more 'fully established than the Oregon boys. With officers who have studied the war game and well defined esprit du corps, the Oregon regiment can readily lay claim to supremacy over any of the National Guard organizations here. Those who visited the various camp sites today could not help -but note the superior camp arrangements of the Oregon infantry. The men had most of the details of camp completed Saturday night, and yes terday squads of meg established sani tary systems, laid water pipe to tap a reservoir several hundred yards distant and set up various useful camp utilities. There was not a single breach of dis cipline, every order was executed prompt ly and without delay. The Oregon guard would have to undergo little improve ment In order to be mustered into the regular service. Troops in every direction are anxious tor the beginning of mimic warfare to morrow. The establishment of a camp may be Interesting and instructive, but It does not provide the element of excit ing activity that your soldier craves. He wants to be in the field, seeking to harass and defeat some opposing force, even If It does imply hard marching under a scorching sun and the missing of an occa sional meal. The maneuvering ot tomorrow will be xf little consequence, however, from the standpoint of existing features. The skir 'mlshlng will not be in brigade formations, jit will be left to regimental and battal :ion commanders to work out their men .Hn skirmish and scouting work. Tuesday will be equally devoid of excitement, as will Wednesday. On Thursday the battle of the entire encampment will open. To Defend Taconia. ' It is to Thursday's action that all the troops are looking forward with eager An ticipation. The maneuvering Involved will be unlike any ot the movements engaged In two years ago. Every man in camp will be engaged. The forces will be evenly divided, and the commanders will have to work out the military problems Involved as they present themselves. The general scheme of battle is a defens of Tacoma from a large Invading army. The action will continue through Friday and will necessitate a night in the field under shelter tent and with the coarsest of field rations. Blank ammunition will be used, and, except that there will be no fatalities, as a part of the programme, the grim spec tacle of actual fighting will be presented. Thousands of visitors from Portland, Seattle and other points are expected to oe on hand for this event, the one really epectacular maneuver of the week. Select Oregon Men. It was learned today at general head quarters that the Oregon infantry regi inent and separate battalion will be as signed to the division defending Tacoma. With the exception of eight companies of Montana infantry and a troop of Wash ington cavalry, the other troops of this brigade will consist of regular Army sol diers. The regular organizations with which the Oregon men will co-operate are: First Battalion of Engineers, First Battalion Field Artillery, hospital detach ments, regular Army; Fourteenth In fantry, Second Cavalry Regiment, Twenty-second Infantry, Signal Corps detach ments. All these troops are stationed at the upper camp, a short distance out of Murray station. In the opposing force are the follow ing troops, all stationed at Nisqually, five miles southwest of the. Oregon camp: Fourteenth Cavalry Regiment, Twen tieth Infantry, Eleventh Battalion Field Artillery. Seventh Infantry, Third Infan try, Second Washington Infantry. First Idaho Infantry, Washington Hospital Corps. Soldiers Join in Song. Impressive religious services "were held in the Oregon camp this evening at dusk. Chaplain Gilbert had church call sounded at 7 P. M., and every man and officer in camp not on guard detail Kttended the services,, which were held at a pictur esque spot under a clump of knotted scrub oak. The Third Oregon Band played a conoert of sacred and patriotic music, and most of the men joined jn the song service that was made a part of this programme. Chaplain Gilbert deliv ered a brief sermon, suitable to the time and place. Following church, there were Impromptu singing services throughout the camp until call to quarters sounded. Early in the morning the Oregon rifle team will start on its journey to Seagirt, N. J., to participate in the National shooting tournament at that point, which takes place in September. General Flnzer and Major F. 3. Baker instructed the members of the team this evening to make preparations for departure. The team will go direct from here t5 Orrlllla, Wash., where it will stop oft for a week of practice work on the military rifle range at that point. It will then proceed to Seagirt. Men Dead Shots. Eighteen men are assigned to this expe dition. General Flnzer and Major Baker will be in charge. They will leave camp with the determination of returning from New Jersey with one of the National trophies for marksmanship. They have reason to anticipate success, since 11 members of the team are admittedly dead --...- .'v: .i '-0" 'MAKING CAMP AT A3TERICAN LAKE. shots. At a recent tryout they made an average score of 49 points out of a pos sible 50 at the rapid-fire shooting over a 200-yard range. In the skirmish firing the team aver ged 87 points out of a possible 100. and at slow firing 90 points out of 100. Major Baker, coach of the team and a marks man of ability, will develop a 12th ex pert out of the four, extra men who will accompany the team. He intends to go right after one or more of the trophies and to establish a record for the Oregon marksmen. The trophies have never been captured by a Western rifle team. There were a number of minor cases of sickness In the Oregon camp today, their ailments having been brought on by the change from city to camp life and the consequent change of home rations for coarse Army fare. Colonel Gantenbeln was among those afflicted, but he was able to direct the construction of the camp, and this evening was entirely recovered. JAIL DELIVERY AT ABERDEEN Prisoners In Gray's Harbor Bastile Laugh at Wooden Bars. ABERDEEN. Wash., Aug. 12. (Spe cial.) N. W.

SIEBELS IN GREAT FORM His Curves Insoluble to Clgarmak ers, and Maroon Players Put Up a Great Game In the Field. - The Bratnard Maroons yesterday after noon crested the title of amateur cham pions of the city from the hitherto un defeated Schillers by a score of 4 to 1. The victory was clean and decisive Hugo Siebels, in the box for the Maroons, was an Insoluble puzzle to the Schillers, and It was only through great luck that they escaped a whitewash. For eight innings Siebels held his opponents help less, and it was only in the last inning, that, after ho had received a severe blow from a pitched ball on his working arm, he let up. In the last session the Schillers chased over one run on a hit by Burns and a wild throw by Mangold. On the other hand, the Maroons pom meled Rich Parrot rather freely, and gave their own twlrler great support. At critical times there was not a hole in the Maroon infield, while ever5thing was pie to the outfielders. McPherson, In center field, did clever work for the Bralnards, cutting off several dangerous drives with the ease' of a leaguer. Joe Mangold, at third base, played a steady game, and, with the exception of hia single miscue, was steady at all stages. Not till the seventh Inning did either side chase over a tally. Here McPherson drew a walk, was forced to second and came in on a hit from Slebel's bat. Alec Oliver made a fairly good return of Sle bel's drive, but Slavin misjudged it, and McPherson tallied without trouble. In the ninth three singles In a row by the Maroons and loose work by the cigarmak. 1 1! I " ... ji ; ma ' ..."

In this inning Siebels was hit hard on the wrist, but he gamely went in and held the Schillers down to a single run. Ed Rankin and Buck Keith gave per fect satisfaction as umpires, and a large crowd of 1200 people was well satisfied with the game, which was exciting throughout. There will probably be no more amateur ball for some time, as the big leaguers come back this week for an extended stay. Yesterday's score: MAROONS. AB R IB PO A E Gray, ss 4 113 11 Henkle.

A woman who haa used Postum Food Coffee since lt came upon the market eight years ago, knows from experience the, necessity of using Postum in place of coffee, if one values health and a steady brain. She says: "At the time Postum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his ad vice and try Postum, and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepBia. "My husband had been drinking coffee alt his life, until 1t had affected his nerves terribly. I persuaded him to shift to Postum, and it was easy to get hm io make the change, for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress, and does not stimu late, but steadily and honestly strength ens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short, our entire family rave now had Postum for etgfit years with completely satisfying results, as shown In our fine condition of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power al ways follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes In a very marked manner.
