It seems unusual, vet in a march the actual distance covered is about twice the distance given on the sign posts.

In addition to other army work, the battalions are given tactical prob- lems to solve and at Patagonia, on the return march, we will have a sham battle. The California troops will be given complete possession of the town and the First Connecticut | representing an attacking column, will try to capture it. The odds | would be six to one in favor of the holders of Patagonia as it is almost impregnable. But that is where the real experience comes in. The Con- necticut will he the troops sent out to ments and will show what they would do were the conditions under which they will be working the grim reality. It is thought that the Second Con- necticut will be the roops sent ou to | reinforce us. The cavalry that will complete our improvised brigade is not known but it is thought probable that a squadron of regulars, or pos- sibly the Connecticut troopers, will join us in this war game. The Utah battery being the only battery of field artillery here will probably com- plete the attacking brigade. Major Butts of the regular army will hav charge of our movements.

P. Candidate Faces Hostilei Audience in Nashville, Tenn. ward- sweate ten- ate mark and had not his Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 5.—Charles E. Hughes last night bitterly attacked | President Wilson and for | meeting the demands of the railroad | brotherhoods for an eight-hour day | by enacting the Adamson bill. Mr. Hughes intimated that the adminis- | tration had sacrificed principle to | party expediency. Mr. Hughes sald he himself stood for arbitration of | all industrial disputes, and declared he | would not submit to dictation from any power in the country, no matter what the consequences, The address was delivered congress in the | 000 persons, a large majority | whom were hostile and attempted to | start demonstrations for Wilson by hisses and catcalls. Mr. Hughes' | fighting words won the crowd for the | time and found applause. Mr. Hughes | sald: “T believe there is no grievance with | respect to labor that cannot be set- | tled by a fair, candid examination of | the facts. In the past we have had to deal frequently with the opposition | of employers to the principle of ar- bitration. Sometimes they have re- fused to arbitrate disputes. The Principle of Arbitration. “I would not surrender to anybody in the country. I believe that any- thing in this country can be settled right. We have come down the long course of history with the people fighting slowly, now with defeat and now with victory, for recognition of the reign of reason instead of the reign of tyrany and force. We have emerged into a great country, peopled with intelligent men and women. “I stand for two things: First, for ough, candid arbitration; and, second, for legislation on facts according to the necessitics of the case. And I am opposed to being dictated to either in the executive department or in con- gress, by any power on earth before the facts are known, and in the ab- sence of the facts. We have a great country and a great future, but it can be preserved only in one way, the way of honest, fair investigation, and candid treatment. Show me the way that is right and I will take it, but I won't take any way that I do not know anything about.” Ignored By Labor Men. Mr. Hughes had been the labor union celebrating the son bill. This seemed to add to determination to speak his mind. The biggest demonstration of the night came when Mr. Hughes turned to Mexico. There came cri of “Woodrow” from the galleries, and several persons in the audience de- manded to know what Mr. Hughes would have done - ignored hy his “I would have protected the lives of Record.

People rose and cheered for a full minute. It was the most unusual meeting Mr. Hughes has faced. The open and at times insulting evidences of hos- tility stirred the candidate to more vigor of speech than he had shown since the early days of the tour. The trouble started when James Taylor, the republican state chairman, began an attack on the administration. Thero were his: mingled with shouts for Wilson. Mr. Taylor found it difficult to make himself heard above the uproar and turned the meeting over to Judge George N. Till- man, the republican nominee for sen- ator from Tennessce. Judge Tillman mentioned the words “rule of reason,” and there were shouts of “Woodrow." He continued: ““We are all lovers of peace,” and again the president's name was shouted. “We need a strong man to guide us,” cried Judge Tillman, and the chorus came back from the galleries: “We've got him now. Oh, Woodrow!" Candidate Shows Courage. Such was the situation which Mr. Hughes faced when Judge Tillman sat down amid a volley of boos and hisses. Mr. Hughes walked calmly to the front of the platform. There was fire in his eye as he looked into the gal- leries. Mrs. Hughes had had a seat ony the platform while the disordoe: directed at her husband was going on Mr. Hughes spoke in an even voice but every word carried a sting. “I shall not soon forget the warmth of the welcome of this vociferous meeting,” he said. “Tt is a great de- ‘ligh( to have the pleasure of visiting Nashville, and it has been a peculiarly grateful thing to me to receive many courtesies at the hands of the good people here, quite regardless of their party ‘affiliations.” Some of the men who had been hiss- ing sat back abruptly, as if they had received a slap in the face. A laugh came from the crowd, followed by a ripple of applause. Mr. Hughes, en- couraged, launched Into the itrike is- sue, knowing that.he was on dan- gerous ground. When cheers greeted his attack he threw back his shoulders and took fresh courage. After that there were several half-hearted at- tempts to stir up a Wilson demonstra tion. Mr. Hughes met each with ready answer and -a smiling face. Mr. Hushes made one statement which some took as practically a dec- laration in favor of universal military service. ‘I have the highest a honor summoned to do duty with the trouble on the Mex- border,” he said “They have responded with a fine patriotism, and everybody backs them up.
