ENGINEERS (Continued from First Page.) range here for three days, where they will learn to be marksmen. Col. John W. Qenmann., command ing the regiment, obtained permission today to use the range and immedi ately issued instructions that the troops would begin their firing tomor- row, Thursday and Friday. Today is being given over to sighting and aim- ing instruction. This work is ordi narily done at the rifle range at Camp Simms, in Washington, but govern- mental economy forved them to forego this instruction this vear, and they have to cut their engineering instruc: tion in order to get in the required rifle practice. Halts Heavier Work. The troops welcomed the order for range practice, as when it came many of them were in the nearby woods blistering their hands cutting down tall timbers for building heavy trestle bridges, which would stand ‘the teést artillery and motor driven equipment. Others were snagging their hands un- rolling rod after rod of sharp-toothed barbed wire, constructing barbed wire entanglements. All of the egineering features will be passed over until | Monday when the troops will have to work_under a full head of steam in an effort to crowd all of thelr heavy engineering work into one week. The troops are still much concerned over the “pladting” of two prohibi- tion operatives in their camp to spy on them and are working incessantly to find out their identity. According to the officers, if they are found they will be required to serve thelr full three years of enlistment and partlei- pate in all drills in camp. If investi- gation should determine that they en- listed under fictictious names, their action, it is promised, will he made the subject of a court-martfal. Several entertainments are being planned by the officers and men, the first of which will be a regimental dance at the New Casino Friday night; a regimental dinner is to be given, probably in Norfolk, next week, but the plans for this have not been completed. The non-commisioned offi- cers of company B have planned a din- ner and smoker to be given at the resort Friday night in honor of Lieuts. Walter Knight and Alfred L. Jorgensen, both recently commissioned from the ranks. The healthful conditions in the camp generally have been good, but one jman, Anthony L. Oliveri, Com- pany B, was sent baok to Washing- ton today. He is not serfously ill, but the camp surgeons decided thal he would be unable to continue camp training Learn Gas Warfare. Maj. Charles E. T. Lull, from the chemical warfare section of the War Department, reported in camp today and immediately started plans for in- structing the engineers in laying gas barrages and in working in those laid down by the enemy. The troops are looking forward to this demonstra- tion with much interest, for, while they have .had some theoretical in- struction, they have none of the necessary practice. The Engineers’ Base Ball League will start its camp series for the camp champlonship today, when Companfes A and D will face each other on the diamond. The winning team today will play Company B to- morrow and the winner each day will play another team until the en- tire regiment has had its play.

Miss Ederle entered the water at a.m. The plunge was made from the very tip of rugged old Cape G Nez on the coast of northern France The 500-foot cliffs above were black with cheering villagers and visitors some of whom had motored all the way from Paris to watch the start Miss Ederle herself, together with a large party of press representatives nd official guests, came from Bou logne to the starting place aboard the | official tug Morinie | During the greater part of the hour's journey up the coast Miss Ederle held | court from a canvas chair on the for- ward deck. She was in the best of | spirits. Arriving off Cape Grey Nose. {Miss Ederle retired to a cabin. where her body was covered with a heavy layer of a grease composed of lard and lanolin. She stepped into the small boat alongside, saluting the American flag nalled to its stern, and amid a thunder of cheers from the tug Wwas rowed through the tangle of rocks to the starting place, where her pace- maker, the Yorkshire man, Tom Bur- gess, waved her a welcome In full sight of the offical observers, she touched the rocky headland of the | French shore and then dropped into the water for a prompt and business- like start There was something superbly powerful In the way she swung immediately and mechanically into her pace of 24 strokes to the minute, following Burgess without perceptible opqn sea. So completely unpretentious was her start that a hoatload of photographers who were waiting posed for quick snapshots were caught off their guard and car ried down stream by the tide before they could get their pictures. Soon Catches Tug. In 12 minutes the swimmer was alongside the tug, which had waited in the deep water off Gris-Nez. The tug’s jazz band was already in action and a hearty cheer from the tug was returned by the swimmer with the famous Ederle smile. Just before she stepped off the tug a wireless message had been delivered to her, reading: “Swim to victory. Lots of luck. Love. Mother and Dad. The sea was benign and friendly as the American girl entered the water. Its surface was like a pond and there had been only a frac- tional drop in temperature overnight Official thermometers registered 64 degrees in the deep water. The morn- ing air was already warming with a strong sunshine. “Experts declared the outlook promising in every way. Miss Ederle’s start was one to in spire confidence. Swimming easily hehind Burgess, she seemed to be go- ing in lelsurely fashion, her head hobbing merrily through the whisper- ing waves. But she was making real speed with the favoring tide, for her first mile, to the point where our tug lay, was covered in less than 15 minutes. X Does Three Miles in Hour. She was three miles off shore at the end of the first hour and the experts hastily figured that this rate of prog- ress might concelvably bring her to Dover within 13 hours, or 3 hours better than the record. Although she had enjoyed a beef- steak breakfast in Boulogne at 4:30 o'clock, she was ready for her first sea lunch at 8:07. Jabez Wolfe, her trainer, handed her a bottle of warm beef juice. She drew the cork with her teeth, but the bottle suddenly slipped from her grasp into the sea. She dived for it unsuccessfully amid laughter from the tug. “Five shil- lings’ worth of nourishment gone to Neptun growled Jabez, as he handed her another bottle, which she negotiated successfully, shouting “a votre sante’—to your health—as she tossed the empty bottle in a broad parabola behind her.

Miss Tanner shook hands with Miss Ederle in the water and they exchanged a few words of greeting. “Now, ladies, no talking,” com- manded’ Wolfe, “and racing, either.” The two girls set off at a good pace, Miss Ederie twice ripping ahead in a momentary deflance of her coach.

They had a laugh later when two or three of the news- paper men, standing at the side of the tug, were swamped. Jabez Wolfe came aboard the tug for a rest, occupying his time by con- ducting the tug band. At 10:10 we stopped for another feeding. Miss Ederle, floating on her back, took the beef essence nimbly “You are getting expert,” compli- mented Jabez, “and now you may have a lump of sugar.” After she had sucked the sugar slowly Miss Ederle showed eagerness to be off again. “There’s plenty of time,” ad- vised the coach, “You can have all day, If necessary, and tomorrow as well.
