CAMP JACKriON, Gearhart. Or., July 1$. (Special.) Just how to throw a hattalion and the companies that com pose it Into battle was the subject of tndy and demonstration In the field instruction camp here, today for Infan try regiments. The 2000 men of the Oregon and Idaho commands and the Twenty-first Regular Infantry put In the day ex rerimentinir with the intricacies of launching an attack. Every conceiv able emergency that might arise In battle was applied to the exercises and each commander of a battalion and company was given an opportunity to handle the situation in his own way. This technical Instruction, it was announced, is of the greatest impor tance, as it gives officers and non commissioned officers a chance to make their mistakes In time of peace when the cost of error is not In human lives. Actual Tactics Taught. The tactical situations presented were of such a character as will be met with In active service and the anticipation of difficult emergencies is calculated to train commanders to do the right thing automatically at the right time, when a blunder might im peril the succeas of a whole battle or campaign. Military blunders in war time were presented as an invariable cause of defeat and as the most dread ed thing in war. There was no roar of blank ammuni tion as the several battles raged today. Bignal flags alone Indicated the vol ume of fire one body of troops was delivering, in theory, against another. Nor was one officer's wits matched against those of another. Such mistakes as were made became the subject of Immediate discussion, with Army officers adjusting and reg ulating the various forward move ments. All tactics were in attacks today. The fine art of defense and of getting away when an enemy gets the upper hand will be practiced tomorrow. Regulars Shovr Snap. Technical accuracy in company and battalion attacks was demonstrated by the Twenty-first Infantry during the afternoon. The snap, precision and vigor of the American regular in action were shown in all their eloquence as the battalions advanced from a deployment, at 800 yards, down to the bayonet charge. A clock works no more regularly than these bronzed infantrymen from Van couver Barracks; a dynamo works no more vigorously, as they sweep into battle formation and advance to the at tack. While they are not expected to ap proximate the skill of these seasoned regulars in field operations, the Na tional Guard regiments are proving their worth as an auxiliary force to the army for possible war service. A broad grasp of the military game is shown by the citizen-soldiers, and as explained by their army Instructors, they need only the polishing, such as is being given now. to put them in an advanced state of readiness for war. Camp Sanitation Learned. In the art of caring for themselves in camp, and particularly In sanitary mat ters, the guardsmen are proving them selves fully capable. No cases of seri ous Illness have developed anywhere In camp, while in the Third Oregon Regiment not a man is on the sick re port. So far. sick call has been nothing mora than a formality, which is held in decided contrast with National Guard camps of 10 years ago, when the vic tims of Improper care by themselves or of improperly cooked foods and poor sanitary arrangements were numerous. As sickness and disease have been more fatal than bullets to the citizen-soldiers In past American wars, this Is held as a significant sign. One guardsman seriously was Injured early today while returning in an auto mobile from Seaside. The victim. Pri vate William Johnson, aged 27, of Sand Point, Idaho, was not expected to live when removed to a hospital at Astoria. Johnson was leaning from the crowded automobile when struck by a passing machine, which had discharged a load of Infantrymen at camp. Major J. B. Clayton, chief surgeon, found a frac ture at the base of the skull. Reported Drowning Unfounded. Report that a soldier had been drowned in the surf last night caused a, check of the men in camp this morn ing. After the fact developed that none was missing or unaccounted for, it was learned that civilians near the Oearhart Hotel had become alarmed unduly by a venturesome soldier who had gone out a considerable distance . and had not been seen to retu. The Oregon Battery is preparing for target practice oc tie beach north of camp Friday and Saturday. Both direct and indirect fire will be employed and the marksmanship of this organisation thoroughly tested. The Third Oregon Regiment passed In review before Colonel Martin and a group of Army officers lata this after noon. The regiment was In command of Lieutenant-Colonel May and made an Imposing appearance with Its perfect alignments and precise movements.
