Oeneral Charlea F, Manderaon haa re turned trom Virginia, where he wltneaaed the recent campaign of the Bluea and the Brown, whichxPrtlcplpated In the war maneuver on the hlatorlo battle ground of Bull Run. General Manderson glvea a graphic ao count of the battles won and lost, although neither bullets nor shot were used In the n.n.p.l M.nAnrRnn. "who acted aa one of the critics, was the guest of General Corbln during his stay In the ML , "It Is as necessary for the men to be drilled In these maneuvers as to be drilled In the uee of arms," said General Mander aon. "All European countries have these campaigns, for they train officers and men In the maneuvering of the field, and besides their value from a atragello and military vlewpptnt they are necessary for the sani tary and disciplinary education afforded." With a large map of the country covered by the troops In their recent campaign. General Manderson showed how the mock battles were fought. Contrary to the Im pression of those who do not understand how the victories of a ahotless battle are accomplished, there is no make-believe mowing down Of soldiers and the battlefield Is dot strewn with the sham dead. - It means, however, a great deal of hard work, and whether marching ankle deep In the dust, whether . wading some obstructing stream or whether sleeping under the stars at night, the soldier haa to undergo the same discomforts aa though he were In actual campaign. Cannot Decide av Battle. - ""How do you decide that a battle actu ally haa beeq lost or won?" was asked. .."Well, we can't decide that," was the reply. "We cannot aay of course say what troop would do If they were under au tual fire. We can on y judge from the po sitions held by the troops what the result would naturally be under actual engage ment, assuming at all time of course that the morale of the troop 1 good and that they will stand fire." General Manderson, in another Illustra tion along the same lines, explained how General Grant had placed his troop while parrying out one of the recent military problems. Grant strengthened his left flank ' and oenter under the supposition that tha brunt of General Bell's attack would be there. Bell made a 4etnt to at tack these point by sending a small por tion of the army forward to open lire, he main force attacked the right flank and by surrounding battery after battery and regiment after regiment, secured a position which in actual warfare, eould have resulted only in disaster and defeat to Grant's force.

Grant who had been watching the operations of the center and south wings of his army, was not aware of the disaster he had suffered aa a re sult of Bell's atrategy and generalship, until informed by couriers. Autos Good Thin;. General Manderson spoke In high praise of the value of the automobile in military operations, not only for bringing up am munition and other supplies, but in other work where great celerity Is needed, as in the destruction of bridges and railroads, the work which was formerly left to the cavalry. General Manderson referred to the mani fest lack of progress In the east Although the maneuvers were within a compara tively short distance of Washington, the national capital, the roads he described as ome of the worst he has ever seen. They have apparently not been touched In thirty years. The farms also show lack of en ergy and care. He attributes a large share of this lack of enterprise to the fact of the poorer productive quality of the eastern farm and the natural emigration of en ergetic eastern people to the west, where the opportunities and chances of develop ment are broader. PAVING BLOCKED ONCE MORE Repair on North Sixteenth Aaraln Help I'p by Lobeck. and Wltbnell. . Plans and specification fo the North Sixteenth street paving have been blocked and council sessions prolonged for two days because of the failure of the malnritv mm. bers of the Board of Public Works to ap4 prove City Engineer Rosewater'a specifi cations.

CRIME DRIVES HIM INSANE Shooting; of Mike Hart Confesaed by John Morlcy After Seven Year Elapse. Chief of Police Briggs of South Omaha returned yesterday from Coffeyvllle, Kan., having in custody John Morley, who confessed to having shot Mike Hart about seven years ago, Hart having died of the wound. After giving himself up to the police at Coffeyvllle, Morley made, a con fession and said the shooting had worried him so much he could not sleep. At the time Morley gave himself up the polios at Coffeyvllle thought he was de mented. Chief Brlgga says, when talking on any other subject than the shooting, Morley appears rational enough. When the shooting Is brought up Morley talks like a person not In hi right mind. Morleyt tells practically the same story here that he told the police at Coffeyvllle. Since th shooting he ha wandered all over the country, trying to forget the affair, but It preyed on hi mind to such an extent that he. imagined every man he met was a po lfaeman looking for hm.

Th '. noiseless typewriter Is something th expei i-- :eNnow working on, and they hope to ve machines that will do the work with i quarter of the noise. "Iu this strenuous age," said a manufac turer of typewriters, "everything that makes noise is tabooed In offices and other places where men and women use their bialns more than their bodies. Every lit tle sound causes irritation. "It, has been found that there is much complaint against the typewriting ma- j chine. Its clicking, the din of the busy keys, disturbs the heads of firms, even though they shut the doors to their pri vate offices tight and sometimes even stuff cotton In the keyholes. Then, too, It inter feres with conversation by telephone. "In the stress of business this little ait' noyance caused by the typewriter adds Just one more element to Increase the fatigue Incident to the day's work. "We are experimenting with a machine that we think will fill the need for a noise less typewriter. It is almost encased In rubber, and the sound is muffled by sev eral Ingenious devices. "We now and then make machines to or der for nervous customers, who have worked on Ideas of their, own for getting rid of the typewriter din. We have made a few machines encased in glass, with levers protruding under the glass to move the carriage, adjust' the paper, etc.' New York Sun. GULLS CROSS THE PACIFIC Follow In the Wnke of Transports nnd Get the Crumbs Throws) Overboard. W are proud of our great ocean liner and the spfed that they make, a speed which has made foreign countries ridicu lously near and has brought the nations close together. To the people of 100 year ago the story that a vsssel oould cross the broad Paclflo within a month would reem like the sheerest fancy of a romancer. Yet, at that time sea gulls existed as they do at the present duy and they made their long trips without provoking any especial comment. Today It is looked upon as noth ing very marvelous thitt birds are able to fly from America to Asia and back again. But, If we pause to consider It, the feat Is really something after all. These birds are especially fond of the United States army transports, for these ship carry many men, who, denied the taste for books which renders an ocean Journey less tedious antT having limited facilities for deck sport, take to feeding the gulls as a pastime. When one of tha big vessels leaves the Golden Gate and passes the Faaallone Islands 100 or more brown bodies with long, sweeping wings leave their resting place and take up the flight In the wake of the transport. Then, soms soldier who ha made the trip before aays: "Here come the sea gulls. We'd better feed them If we want a quick passage this trip," and many soldlsrs In vade th steward's premises and gutter up ths waste bread and victuals. The birds seem to know when they are to be fed, for they come flying In ever narrowing circles until they are within a short oistsnce of the ship. Then the food begins to fall pn the water and the brown winged form swoop eagerly down upon the waves and seise what ha been thrown forth.

Day after day they, follow the ship, cleaving the air with wift wings, flying easily fcnd without apparent effort Indeed, it seems as though they were not made to rest On the last trip of the transport Logan one of the gulls had Its wing muscle In jured In some way and dropped fluttering upon the deck, Its wide, goose-like bill open and strange squawks coming from Its throat. A soldier spied it and took It to his bunk, where he fed It dully until It became strong again. Then he allowed It to fly away. But the bird had not forgot ten his benefactor. Every day It would alight on the deck and allow none save this particular man to feed it It followed the boat to Honolulu, to Guam and finally to Manila. Where It rested during th two weeks the Logan lay In Manila la not known, but when the vessel turned oh Its homeward course, bound for Nagasaki, the first day out found' this gull easily dis tinguishable by a fleck of white en its neck, resting on the stern. . As it favorite solller did not appear, the gull graciously allowed others to-feed it, and continued. It trip with the ship until th Logan passed the Farallon Islands. A peculiar Incident was one that oc curred on the R. M. S. Athenian on Its last trip from Yokohama to Vancouver. Five day out, 1.000 miles from land in any direction, a little owlet alighted on the deck and was captured by the second , steward.
