CAMP JACKSON. Gearhart. Or, July
IS. (Staff Correspondence.) Text
books were the principal weapons In
the bloodless maneuver warfare tha
was waged here throughout today by
the force of 2100 National Guardsmen
and regulars In camp or field lnstruc
tion.
The fine points of battalion attack
and defensive actions were gone Into
thoroughly.
Just how to advance across a hot
field of fire with the minimum of loss
and the maximum of damage to th
enemy was the gentle subject of an
extensive troop movement In which th
six battalions of the Third Oregon and
fc'econd Idaho regiments participated
this afternoon.
The terrain, west of camp, was found
excellent for thorough Instruction In
these exercises, offering Just such dlffl
cutties as would be met In actual war
fare.
Flaalc rrotectloa Feature.
All the subtleties of making use of
every vestige of cover, of taking ad
vantage of every shortcoming and loop
hole presented by an opposing force and
of leaving no dangerous flaws In the
manner of attack were thoroughly ex
plored.
Special emphasis was laid on the im
portance of combat patrols for protec
tion of flanks and lor using these
patrols at the vital stage of an assault
or in repulsing an attack or counter
attack.
After this valuable practice and In
struction In controlling the mechanism
of commands, tactics was made the
subject of study and discussion in tac
tical walks taken by ol fleer and non
commissioned officers sub-dlvlded Into
croups. Each group was led by one of
the Army instructors sent here by the
War Department.
Officers Solve Problems.
Theoretical situations, such as would
arise In a campaign, were presented
by the instructors, and each officer was
called upon for his solution.
This special Instruction for majors,
captains, lieutenants, sergeants and
corporals Is giving to the citizen-sol
diers the most valuable military expe
rience they have yet gained at Summer
maneuvers.
It is serving to prepare the regiments
to go into action with every commander
ready.
As pointed out by the Army tac
ticians, the burden of responsibility
shifts rapidly in action. The Colonels
functions come to an end practically
when he has sent his battalions forward
for deployment. The Majors have little
left to do after they have spread out
their eomDanies and assigned the sec
tions of human targets offered by the
enemy's front.
Squad Leaders Trained.
When the companies get down to the
fceat of battle, the squad leaders in
the ranks become the controlling fac-
tors. Hence, it is pointed out, the ne
cessity is obvious of perfecting every
man in his work. The outcome 01 Dai
tie may depend upon the capacity of
come subordinate officer.
The first case of sickness was re
ported today when Bugler H. Buehler,
of one of the Portland companies of
the Third Oregon, was taken down
with fever that had some symptoms of
typhoid. Buehler had not been lnocu
lated against typhoid. He was sent
home tonight In the care of Lieutenant
H. Birney, regimental assistant sur
geon.
Battery to Have Practice.
The Oregon battery will move out at
reveille In the morning for target prac
tice on the beach seven miles north and
west of camp. With an ample supply
of ammunition, the artillerymen will
try their skill In demolishing targets
that have been put up in the sand
dunes along the seawall.
Indirect fire will be used, the gun
ners firing on targets which they do
not see. the ranges and firing data be
ing signaled to .them by officers on
reconnoissance. '
Colonel James Jackson, Inspector
General of the Oregon National Guard,
arrived in camp this afternoon and
will remain until the end of the In
struction period.
The troops were mustered for pay
late today.

Governor's Removal of Warden
Held Political Act.
SCREEN ADOPTION FACTOR
Executive Reported to Believe His
Official Was Too Much Interested
in Patent, Which. Is Em
phatically Denied.
BOISE. Idaho. July IS. The removal
of O. H. Barber, of American j-ans. a
uu.Vnnwn newsoaDer man of this
tit. n. state Fish and Game Warden,
by Governor John M. Haines, and his
appointment of Jess B. Gowen. a busi
ness man of Caldwell, as warden, has
resulted In stirring up the Ire of the
friends of the former warden as well
am th Haines supporters.
It has Just developed that tne jonns-
ton fish screen, manufactured In bait
IokA nnnroved by the lsn ana trame
Department of Idaho, and officially des
ignated by the former warden as the
screen to be used in Idaho lakes, rivers,
streams and canals, played no small
part In the ousting proceedings.
Screen Plays Part la Ouster.
After Barber's removal, reports were
afloat that the Governor's action was
taken because he believed the former
had too great an Interest in the Salt
Lake Johnston screen. nen jar. Bar
ber heard this he was indignant and
lost no time in placing the facts In a
clear light. In a public statement in
which he narrates how the Johnston
screens happened to be approved by
the Fish and Game Department, ne
gives the lie to the Insinuation that he
was Interested In them in any other
way than to have a good fish screen in
use in this state.
David Burrell, also of American
Falls, chief clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives during the last session.
and a former member of that body, was
one of the chief deputies under ttarDer.
He. too, was requested to present his
resignation. Burrell is said to have
been active in opposition to the Governor.
In his letter removing Barber, the
Governor gives as his reasans that he
had permitted certain of his-deputies
to make trips over the state not in tne
Interest of the department, and that he
had shown in his expenditure of the
public's money that he was not hand
ling the fund Judiciously.
Wardea Explains Incident.
In reply Mr. Barber says he is wili
ng to leave the latter charge with the
portsmen of the state for their ver
dict as to the expenditure of the money
and he asserts the charge about the
traveling of deputies is groundless.
Mr. Barber says that it was at the
Governor's suggestion he went to Salt
Lake and took up the matter of the
screens with the inventor, Mr. Johns
ton, and the manufacturers, and that
the Governor had the State Engineer
and his department test out the screens
and pass upon their serviceability. The
engineer gave a favorable report.
It was only at that time, Mr. Barber
says, that he exercised his authority
to declare the Johnston fish screen the
pattern that should, be installed in
rivers. Btreams and canals in this state.
When Warden Gowen took over the
wardenship, his first act was to re
scind the former warden's order.
Many sportsmen censure the Gov
ernor for his action in removing Bar
ber, claiming that It smacks of politics
ow that the primary campaign is on
and the Governor Is a candidate for reelection.
MAN RUNS WILD IN WOODS

In the timber.
The man was Carson Acklund, a
Norwegian sailor who was employed at
the logging camp. His companions de
clare he was all right until he passed
the Fourth in Portland, after which
he acted strangely.

GLADSTONE PARK, July 16. (spe
cial.) Dr. Thomas E. Green talked
"Peace" this afternoon at the Chautau-
tua as the Patriotic day feature. His
lecture was given before an audience
of 3000 persons and with a background
of 200 battle-scarred warriors, strain
ing their grizzled faces to catch every
word. The subject was "The Burden
of the Nations."
It was a novel experience for the
veterans to march upon the stage and
sit for two hours while an orator urged
that war be discarded as "the last relic
of barbarism left in this world."
Veterans Almost Convinced.
Dr. Green came as near convincing
the gray-haired fighters that war was
wrong and never finally settled any
thing as any mortal man could do.
While one or two of the veterans ap
parently would not be convinced, the
first to seize Dr. Green's hand amid the
applause at the conclusion of his speech
were these same old, battle-scarred
veterans, who had come to Chautauqua
arrayed In. the blue and gray.
'If It Is a crime, maoe so Dy tne cum-
mon conscience of the world, for two
men to stand and deliberately murder
each other to settle a personal account,
will you tell me by what logic under
the sun two nations can do the same
Identical thing and remain guiltless.'
asked Dr. Green. "War means a de
liberate plan for destruction, for mur
der. You cannot elevate murder Into
a virtue.
"Common Man Fights."
Who fiehts? The common man, ever
the common man, who not only rignts,
but also provides the money with which
to do the fightfhg. Thank God, there
is a erowing sentiment in this land
among the common people which says:
Yes. ves. rush In and right if you wisn.
but don't count on me to help protect
your selfish Interests.' In the last 300
years 85 per cent of the wars of the
world have been inspired by mere
handfuls of selfish men. You've seen
it over there In Wall street, but, my
friends, you will never see the same
exploiting, man-eating, cannibal Wall
street of 10 years ago; it, too, is a relic
of the past."
Mr. Green attributes tne growing
peace sentiment largely to the en
franchisement of women.
