CAMP MEADE, Spurred on by their victory last Sat- urday in the first intercompany drill, the Washington boys in camp here jumped into their breeches at sun-up this morning and prepared to spend a busy day “boning up” on squad movements and the nomenclature of the rifle. Realizing that the other twelve companies comprising the training regiments of civilian students will do_their utmost to overcome the ad- vantage now held by Company M, Capt. Goe and Lieuts. Loucks and Kelly are striving hard to whip the boys in shape for their contest this Saturday. Squad movements are among the most difficult maneuvers to be mastered by amateur soldiers, and plenty of good, hard work and appli- cation is required to become proficient.” D. C. Men Show Efficiency. The Washington company has shown such a high standard of effi- ciency in all branches of military science and tactics that other com- f€qin the school carefully watch evéry Movement made by Company 3 whife in the field. Being first in sanitation of bar- racks and equipment, as well as first in the five elemental studies in mi tary schooling, is no mean achievi ment when 1,300 boys from six stat of the Union are competing. This morning Companies M, L and K are experiencing their first thrill of facing “the_enemy” under cover of darkness. With the three com- panies in camp near Washington and the enemy about a mile in advance, the problem is to prevent it from locating the position of the Meade forces and to secure all information available as to the enemy's activi- es. Plans Formal Dance. Last night a committee of three students from each one of the com- panies of the regiment met at the office of the morale officer to discuss plans for a formal dance to be held Friday or Saturday night. One hun- dred girls from Washington and Bal- \timore will be invited by the camp authorities and the students wWere re- quested to invite at least 300 addi- tional girls, in order that every stu- dent may be given an opportunity to_enjoy himself. ‘This afternoon will be devoted ex- clusively to athletic contests. The Company M base ball team was badly defeated yesterday by Company K and a hard practice will be held this aftermoon by the former team in or- der that they may be on the winning side when the next game Is played. RESERVE OFFICERS ARRIVE. CAMP MEADE. Md., August 16 (Spe- eial).—About 350 young reserve offi- cers have arrived at Camp Meade to begin ten days of intensive training in the branches of military science and tactics, in which each is interested. Col P. Davis, Coast Artillery, U. 8. A, is in command of the reserve officers’ training camp, with Col. William M. Morrow of the 3ith Infantry, U. 8. A., chief executive officer, and Maj. Allan Rutherford of the R. O. T. adjutant. The officers will be obliged to pay their own expenses as well as furnish their own uniforms. This is due to the fact that Congress did not provide sufficient appropriation to cover the expense of the training. The young officers will be schooled in a daily course of lectures and demon- stration_in arms, covering fleld artil- lery, ordnance, machine guns and mis- cellaneous military science. ‘Tomorrow morning Col. Edgar T. Col- lins of the general staff will deliver the second of a series of lectures on “train- ing.” All lectures will be held in the Liberty Hut, which will seat about 1,500 amen. * Senator Wadsworth delivered the first lecture this morning on “The Reor- ganization of the Army.” office.

Gradual but effective results have Md., August 16— p.cq the outcome of the first week of the crusade against speeding in Wash- ington. Police and Police Court offi- clals Indicated today that they are gratified. Records in the archives of the Police Court show that since the inception of the campaign, with the exception of the first three days, the number of speeding cases has been on the de- cline, despite the unusual diligence of policemen to round up the fast drivers. ~ A vague but significant conception of the results thus far, court officials point out, may be gleaned from scan- ning the records of Monday, August 8, when the crusade got under way, and comparing them with those of yesterday. Fifty-two speeders were iarrested on the day the campaign opened, while yesterday twenty-one were caught, making a decrease of thirty-one: Cite Changed Conditions. These figures, although indicative to some extent of the results of the cam- paign, _court officials believe the changed conditions on three of Wash- ington’s most famed speedways—Con- duit road, Massachusetts avenue and 16th street—give a better idea of the crusade’s effects. Thomas G. Walsh, assistant corporation counsel, de- scribes the travel on these boulevards as “a funeral procession instead of a race track exerclse. The fast-driving evil, however, is far from being conquered, the au- thorities realize, and .they are still planning to make things as “hot” a possible for the driver who has a passion for exceeding the speed limit. Superintendent of Police Gessford conferred_with Assistant Corporation Counsel Walsh yesterday afternoon and informed him that the police de- partment is making arrangements to detall a special clerk in the police record bureau from 4 p.m. to mid- night, for the sole purpose of, check- ing up the previous traffic records of the flagrant speed violators, with the object of forcing them into court on an attachment in lieu of allowing them to forfeit collateral. At present there is no clerk in thé bureau during these hours. Consequently many of the fast drivers, arrested during the night, are released on the minimum collateral of $10, whereas if the officer making the arrest could find the record of the speeder’s past performances, the col- lateral would be increased consider- ably, provided the record was not clear. Twenty-One Arrests Yesterday. Of the twenty-one speeders arrested yesterday the ninth precinct took credit for the largest number. Five fast driv- ers were caught by policemen in this precinct. The tenth and fifth precincts came next with four each, The first followed closely with three. The fourth, seventh, elghth, second and sixth had one each. There were no arrests for speeding in 9] the third and eleventh precincts. A majority of the fast drivers ar- rested yesterday depositea collateral of $10 each at the various precincts, and forfelted when their cases were called today in Police Court. Several were re- quired to put up collaterials amounting to $25. —_— te Tells Why Horsford's Acid Phosphate Them s macking, §vod favor. At druggists. Advertisement.
