Presents A Warlike Scene.
It ia evident that a m. re newspaper

of the next—but because th*> are per
tinent in conveying to the reader a
notion of what the ultimate purpose
of the United States Army Proving
Ground is in the war. The people o'f
Maryland outside of Harford county,
and especially the people of Baltimore
are living almost within sound of the
booming cannon of Alierdeen yet they
are in danger of allowing to pass un

ever known.
The object of this article, is not to
make a study of the ordnance situa
tion in the United States Army; It is
to tell about what has been going on,
and what is going on today, in this ob
scure corner of the world, where
though it tie as peaceful in ~ome re
spects as a Quaker colony, it is in
others as warlike as a sector on the
western front. The thunder of the

in a fertile he inn of some sixty-odd
thousand acrea, moat of which has
been reclaimed and tamed to agri
culture through the efforts of the
federal and rtate governments at the
coat of millions of dollar:.
The reclamation of this land in

board, on the other. The project
eventually will cost about $42,000,
000, and is designed to take care of
the floods of the Secramento river,
these amount to five times as much
as the river channel can carry. The
interests of navigation, reclamation,
and flo<><l control are so intermingled
that it is necessary to adopt a plan
which will -privide for all three.
The partial completion of the big
project, with its accompanying put

dicates in a measure what the final
results will be. The one great tract
of twenty thousand acres as old

if not the greatest, American fields
