BIG SHOW ASSURED
Camp Lewis Soldiers to Stage
Military Tournament.
TWO DAYS OF FESTIVITIES
More Than 1000 Soldiers and 6500
Horses Will Participate in
Celebration of July 4 at
Great Arm) Camp.
TACOMA, Wash., June 29. (Special.)
Every phase of the war game as it
is played today will be shown tn the
"Western States Military Tournament
to be staged in the Tacoma Stadium
on the nights of July 3 and 4.
The tournament will start with a
Military horsemanship show put on by
men from the Remount Station at
Camp Lewis, where the1 test riders of
the West are assembled in the service.
The pick of 1000 men and 6500 horses
has been made by Sergeant W.
A. Ritchardson, who has staged
rodeos at Ontario, Or.; Pendleton,
Cheyenne. Miles City and other places
of the West.' His corrals and chutes
are already constructed.
Woman Rider to Participate
Mildred Douglas, of Nevada, cham
pion woman rider of the world and an
old friend of Sergeant Ritchardson, is
in Tacoma on a visit and she will par
ticipate in the event. The vast amphi
theater, seating 40,000 persons, offers
an exceptional setting forthe test of
horsemanship, according to Sergeant
Ritchardson. It would be impossible
to gather such a galaxy of riders in
peace times for they would be scat
tered over the many stales, and could
xxot be assembled in one show.
This exhibition will be a forerunner
of the Infantry, Artillery and . Cav
alry maneuvers to be put on by the
First Infantry of the United States
Army on the night of July 4. Every
angle of the war game as it is carried
out in France will be shown. Per
haps the most interesting event will
bo the machine gun drill.

war and have trained their men ac
cording to these modern methods. The

ly from Hawaii.

Discussing the strained political sit
uation in Germany caused by the speech
of Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, the
foreign secretary, the Frankfurter Zei
tung takes up the question of the rela
tion of the political problems of the
Nation to the military, and remarks
that this has developed in such a way
during the war as to render the notable
phrase of Karl von Claussewltz that
"the army should be the instrument of
policy" no longer valid in its old mean
ing. The relationship, declares the news
paper, has. today become such as to
make it perhaps impossible to restore
the old. It concludes:
"If the supreme army command de
termines that the course of its policy is
the national course, it should lie with
some one in that Quarter openly to as
sume its direction."
BRITISH HATER IS WHIPPED
Von Bernhardi's Troops Suffer at
Hands of English.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMT IN
FRANCE, June 29. An interesting
sidelight of the defeat which the Brit
ish dealt to two German divisions east
of Nieppe Forest yesterday is the fact
that General Frledrich A- J. von Bern
hardt was the commander of the Army
Corps that suffered this heavy chas
tisement. Von Bernhardi has been a writer of
articles on the war, the majority of
which .contained bitter attacks on the
British. A while ago it was reported
that he had been killed, but it now def
initely is established that he is com
mandlng this corps in Flanders.
