9 I TIME NOW FOR PIANO BUYERS TO GET BUSY OFFICERS IN FATIGUE UNIFORM TO THE TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. AUGUST 14, 1906. HE 10 Desertion in Face of Enemy Adds Realism to the Mimic Warfare. OFFICERS MUCH WORRIED Scores of Infantrymen Take French Leave Wild Rumor That They Have Been Lured Away to Work In Logging Camps. GENERAL. FIELD HEADQUARTERS, American Lake, Wash., Aug. 13. (Staff Correspondence.) Actual loss of troops Is adding a flavor of realism to the mimic campaign on the American Lake field of action. This loss is nearly as heavy as In time of skirmish firing in actual war fare. It is due to desertions trom the ranks of the regulars, and these deser tions have become so numerous, as to arouse some concern in official "Ircles. Vhlle precautions have been taken to withhold the exact facts, it was learned today from an authoritative source that between 60 to 100 men have failed to re turn from leave of absence since camp was established, and are regarded as de serters. Officers of one regiment, the Twenty-second United States Infantry, admitted today that they had lost be tween 20 and 30 men. Non-commissioned officers of the Twenty-second say the number will easily reach 60 men missing. Disappeared After Pay Day. These men disappeared from camp im mediately after begins paid off a few days ago. Two or three disappearances have occurred each day since then. Be lieving that dissatisfaction had been aroufed by heavy routine camp duty, the men were relieved of many tiresome tasks. This, however, is not now re garded as the real cause of the trouble. Information has been given out that un scrupulous employment agents have been talking with the soldiers, offering them large wages to work in the logging camps. To offer a man $3 a day when he has been getting 113 a month from the Gov ernment might prove a strong temptation to those who were not in love with the service. Of course in all commands there is an esprit du corps which keeps a ma jority of the men in the service, even after their first terms of enlistment have expired. ' An Infantry regiment, the name of which cannot be given, is known to have lost 20 men at Chehalis, Wash., while en route to American Lake a few days ago. The train stopped for about 15 min utes and there was a sudden scurrying of the enlisted men for the woods. Resi dents of Chehalis and members of the train crew say 20 men made good their escape. . Many Rumors Are Afloat. There are many reports afloat concern ing the total number of desertions. Thes"e rumors are branded in official circles, however, as exaggerations of the real facts. It Is said the Twenty-second In fantry has sustained the greatest loss and that the loss the other commands have suffered is of no material conse quence. Many of those missing from the Twenty-second have not been out the day limit yet and can return to camp with no more serious consequences than reprimands and punishment for overstay, ing leave. It Is not regarded probable, however, that they will return. Today has been a busy one throughout the whole camp, and the men are genu inely tired and glad to seek their blan kets. The day has been taken up with minor maneuvers, each regiment and In dependent command working out its own problems In advance and in rear-guard work. The woods and open glades have been dotted since early this morning with uniforms. This morning was given up to regimental and battalion exercises In ex tended order and to regimental drills. Devoted to Instruction Work. The advance and rear-guard maneuver ing occuped the afternoon. There was no firing, the exercises of the day being in the nature of work in instruction prelim inary to the big sham battle of Thursday and Friday. Tomorrow will be devoted to similar work. The Oregon troops showed off to fine advantage in the field today, and demon strated that they are as well equipped for action as they are for the establish ment of a model camp. Their day's work was executed without a hitch, and all orders were carried out with none, of that puzzled hesitation that marks inex perienced soldiers. Marching to and from - the field, the Third Regiment and separate battalion travel with the easy swing of regulars. The regiment was commanded in the field by Colonel Gantenbeln. and the sep arate battalion by Major Toran. Lieutenant-Colonel Poorman commanded the First Battalion, Major May the Second, and Captain Bartell the Third. The of ficer of the day was G. E. Bartell, and the officers of the guard were First Lieu tenant R. W. Holman and Second Lieu tenant Wlllarfl Daugherty. All Oregon Boys Well. All troops In the Oregon camp continue In good health and spirits. There have been no breaches of discipline. The men are relishing their outing, and when- not in the field busy themselves swimming, swapping yarns or playing pranks on one another. , An interesting and novel programme for Thursday and Friday was announced this afternoon, following a meeting of all hospital corps officers at the general field hospital. The officers were informed that their part in the battle will be as far as possible like It would be In actual war fare. Arrangements will be made with the various companies, troops and bat teries to assign two men each to a dis ability list. These men. during the fir ing, will fall In the field. Each recum bent soldier will bear a tag setting forth the nature of his supposed wounds. Seeking out the injured, the hospital de tachments will bandage and treat them exactly as If the wounds were real in stead of imaginary. Field ambulances will carry the severely wounded to ttus rear for theoretical surgical treatment. This will be something of an Innovation in sham-battle work, and will tend to heighten the illusion of actual carnage. It will also afford excellent training for the various hospital corps detachments. LINE VP FOR SHAM BATTLE t Disposition of Troops at American Lake Announced. CAMP TACOMA. Aug. 13.

Clarjc, of the Eastern Yacht Club, won the first of the trial races for the de fense of the Roosevelt cup today. Hay seed III, owned by H. L Howden, fin ished second and Windrim Kid, F. G. Maccomber, owner, was third. Practically throughout the race it was a battle between the Spokane and the Windrim Kid, the Hayseed passing the latter in the last three miles of the race. There were 17 starters in the race, which was the first of the series cf five races to decide the champion ship of the Eastern Yacht Club In se lecting three American boats to defend the Roosevelt cup against the three German challengers, for the German American championship. The contest was sailed over a triangular course of 15 miles, five miles to a leg, and of the 17 starters 16 crossed the finish line, the Cod dropping out on the first leg when she carried away her spreaders. Spokane Shows Good Tactics. The day was ideal in every way for yachting and. the wind was Just suited to the Condor type of boat. It was a beat to the first mark, a close reach to the second mark and a run to the finish. Quite a fleet of pleasure yachts surrounded the starting line when the signal was given at 11:10 A. M. The Spokane had a little the best of the start but the Sally VIII was also away In good style. About half the fleet followed the Sally VIII on the starboard tack tn toward the Man chester shore, while the remainder, with the Spokane in the van, stood out to sea. The latter move proved to be the better one, for the boats soon gave more weight to the windward. The Spokane tacked around the first mark at 12:41:55 with the Windrim 55 if-!. Wi?

SCHILXERS TO MEET OAKLAND Portland Amateur Champions Will Play Professionals Today. The' Beavers will not arrive home until tomorrow morning, and consequently the series with Oakland will be delayed a day. McCredie and his cohorts have been cutting capers with Fresno at Los An geles, and because of the great distance away it was impossible for them to reach home on schedule time. Oakland came to town yesterday, and this afternoon at 3 o'clock the veteran Van Haltren. will cross bats with Gardner's Schillers. The local amateur organization, already a fast one. will be strengthened by the addition of Win French, ex-member of the Giant's pitching corps, who will be sent in to hold down Rip and his team of sluggers. For Oakland. Hopklnfi, the clever little south paw, will preside' in the center bf the diamond. This game should not be at all one sided. French is right at home In fast company, and he is good as any In bend ing them when he feels so Inclined. The Schillers, by a string of victories broken by but one defeat, have demonstrated their knowledge of the game and will give French the best of support, as well as holding their own at the bat. Early in the season, with Roy Toren in the box. the Schillers all but did up the big leaguers one day at Recreation Pafli. Not till the ninth Inning could the Beav ers break the spell and finally win out. It would be a great joke if the amateurs should dispose of the paid crew this after noon.
