The presence of hundreds of soldiers i the theater at the time probably avoid y ed a disastrous catastrophe. Men, women wo-men and children began climbing upor the seats, in preparation for a wild rush for the doors. Soldiers, however, wnc have spent months in training and have learned to keep their heads under trymp circumstances, pushed the persons nea ( them into their seats and quieted them. t One soldier shouted for the orchestr to begin playing, knowing the quietu effect of music upon frightened peoph but the musicians had disappeared, this, th-is, with the exception of the bass hoi manipulator, who found difficulty in e. caping through the small door leading u; der the stage, with the massive Jioi hung about his neck. He was maklii.-wild maklii.-wild attempt, just the same. A khaki-clad figure flashed over t railing in the orchestra pit, a sol i. I musician, and, seizing a discarded W colo, he pushed the remaining music; jf into his chair and after a hurried cy aultation there arose from the pUT strains of "Auld Lang Syne," played L a piccolo and accompanied by a big bai horn. But it saved the day and prob ably several lives of women and chil dren. Within a few minutes the audienc was quieted and the performance pro ceeded. That audience now has a wholesome whole-some regard for the nerves of mode American Sammies. Practice Continued. Utah officers and two batteries, C amr D, again made their- way to the hill southeast of the cantonment this morning morn-ing and continued the firing schedule ol the brigade. In the work the batteries are turnc over to their commanders and problen such as are liable to occur under wa . . conditions are given them. The maneuver into positions and loc tlon of the enemy occupied practically tl entire morning, but just as mess ca sounded In the cantonment, the gun boomed forth in battle. The firing continued con-tinued until lateUn the afternoon. Those who were given problems were Captain J. R. Ward, Captain Edgar G. Woolley and Lieutenant Don G. Williams. Major Kneass supervised the range work during the morning and Major le Roy Bourne during the afternoon. Special Spe-cial details from A and B batteries were employed in the firing. Utah's field hospital will leave camn tomorrow, together with the other organizations or-ganizations composing the lloth reg1 menfs sanitary train, for a ten-dav hP maneuver, to be held along the"cof north of the cantonment.
