SATURDAY. JULY 1914. TTTT7 HfnWVTVfi COAST INVADED BV THEQRETIGAL ARMY Hypothetical Gunboat Shells Defenders but They Later Repulse Their Enemy. MILITIA WATCHES FIRING Oregon ISattery Shows Efficiency at Target Practice in Hitting Mark 12 00 Yards Distant and I'n.icen by Gunners. CAMP JACKSON. Gearhart. Or.. July 17. (Special.) Bloodless invasion of the Pacific Coast was effected by a theoretical enemy in the vicinity of Gearhart toaay and forces that were attempting to repel the invasion were helled back by a hypothetical gunboat, only to repulse successfully the hostile infantry's advance later in the day. Theoretical warfare in all its simu lated horrors raged all afternoon, while tactical problems were worked out and hundreds were killed and wounded by the decrees of Army officers who pro vided the problem. Otherwise neither sickness nor mishap appeared in the big maneuver camp that has been learned so far in the camp about the technique of war fare was summed up In the engage ment, with the battalions of the Twenty-first United States Infantry do ing the fighting and the National Guard troops accompanying the firing lines to observe the fine lines of the art of kill ing and getting killed in the ways and manners prescribed by the military Hoyle. Battle Is Errorless. It was a battle without mistakes, yet one side got slightly the better of the argument from a purely tactical stand point, owing to accidents of terrain, which, reduced to ordinary English, means lay of the land. Chile was the foreign power that had the audacity to land a fancied force upon Pacific Coast sands. This force immediately occupied the territory about Gearhart and developed designs on the rear of Fort Stevens, an ambition that was opposed by the American troops set aside to represent their country for the occasion. Major Wilson Chase assumed the role of Chilean commander, and Major Ralph H. Vandeman was delegated to annihilate the intruder if possible. It was a pretty exhibition from a military standpoint, as the bronzed regulars threw themselves into the game of military chess with the snap and precision that mark the American regular, whether in mimic warfare or the real thing. Combat Is Demons! ration. Trained officers who knew every an. gle of the Intricate science of modern warfare were In command. The prob lem was not one to try the tactical genius of the battalion and company commander. It was more of an exhibi tion of Just how the thing ought to be done and of how the obstacles arising from time to time in the course of con flict may be met and overcome. Kxcept for the incident of bullets, the combat was liandle3 precisely as t would be handled in real war. Tomorrow a similar problem will be worked out by the Oregon and Idaho Infantrymen under command of their own officers. Target practice was engaged In by the Oregon battery and an exceptional record was made in striking targets both in direct and indirect fire. The battery commanded by Lieutenant Frank Randall in the temporary ab sence of Captain H. U. Welch gave an excellent exhibition of effectiveness and hitting a target 1200 yards distant and unseen by the men handling the guns. Shell Hits Target. Facts ana figures giving the location of the target were signalled from a knoll to the gun crews, screened by a high sand dunes. After several ranging shots a shell was plunged into the heart of a small oblong target. The battery will pass tomorrow In farther target practice. A review of all the troops In the maneuver camp was decided on for Sunday afternoon at 3i o'clock. The re view will be held on the beach near the Gearhart Hotel and the entire force of 2100 men will be in line. Adjutant- General Finzer will be the reviewing officer. Thousands of spectators are expected for the occasion. Acting Governor Goes to Camp. SALEM, Or, July 17. (SpeciaL)- Ben W.

Secretifr Booa. of Trl-State Good Roads Association, Exercised Lest Influence la Turned to Central Oregon. MEDFORD. Or.. July 17. (Special.) George E. Boos, secretary of the Tri State Good Roads' Association, which meets in Medford. July 27, is much ex ercised over the refusal of Samuel Hill to attend the session and make an ad dress as promised. In the opinion of a number of local members of the association. Mr. Hill Is exerting all his influence toward rout ing the Pacific Highway through Cen tral Oregon and then by the Columbia Highway to Portland. This route would include. the present Pacific High way now being constructed In Jackson County from the California line as far as Medford and would then branch to ward Crater Lake and Bend. According to friends of Mr. Hill, the sentiment in the Willamette Valley against good roads bonds has led to this change and it is believed that State Highway Engineer Bowlby also Is In favor of the Central Oregon route. Mr. Boos, however, is much opposed to such a change and it Is probable that some radical action will be taken at the coming meeting to retain the Pacific Highway route from the Cali fornia line through Medford. Grants Pass, Roseburg and the Willamette Valley to Portland. Although the complete programme for the Tri-State meeting has not been announced, delegates from California, Washington and Oregon are coming and it is possible that Governor John son, of California, will attend. The new concrete highway between Medford and Central Point will be opened at that time and will remain open for all rubber tired vehicles.

July 17. (Spe cial.) Dr. Fletcher Homan. president of the Chautauqua, and Kg t-oon new. eminent Chinese orator, shared honors at Gladstone Park today. A crowd of 2500 heard Dr. Homan a lecture on "World Visions" this afternoon, while an audience of almost 3500 Chautau quans heard the noted Oriental tonight in his great plea for recognition of the Chinese republic, "Modern China." Dr. Homan'a "World Visions" address was a masterly one. covering the so cial, moral, industrial and religious problems of the day, and the prevalent unrest which slowly is working about a betterment, due to an awakened in terest in humanity and a higher de veloped intelligence. He pleaded for a world ' purpose and vision, with a view to making the human race as one, intellectually, by redeeming the soul, body and mind. Wealthy Classes Rapped. The speaker rapped the wealthy classes who have not earned their wealth. "I would not denounce the rich man for being rich, but for his method ot getting rich and the use of his wealth," he said. "Rich men are the product of their times, just as kings are of theirs. But better conditions in social, moral and other lines, too, are the products of their times and are coming with marked certainty, thanks to this great awakening prevalent everywhere." The famous old "Chautauqua salute" was used for the first time this year as Dr. Holman was Introduced, and 2500 handkerchiefs fluttered when he came on the platform. This is Dr. Homan's second year as president of the Chau tauqua, and he is one of the tireless workers for its success. Kg Poon Chew Is Kare Orator. Tonight Ng Poon Chew, a rare com bination of orator, statesman, humorist and philosopher, pleaded in purest Eng lish with his Intensely interested hear ers for a recognition of the new re public of China, making even a greater hit than a year ago.

An nouncement was made today by the State Railroad Commission that the Southern Pacific is the first railroad to pay reciprocal demurrage in this and probably any other state. The pay ment was to Travis & Gleason for failure to provide cars for shipping wood at Middletown, as ordered. W. D. Fenton, attorney for the railroad, wrote the Commission that the pay ment had been made. Under the law railroads must pay 2 a car for each day's delay In provid ing cars for shipments, and shippers must pay the same amount for delay in loading or unloading. The first Oregon law providing reciprocal re murrage was declared unconstitutional because it conflicted with interstate commerce rules. There Is no re reciprocal demurrage in Interstate com merce.
