NO BIO TENDERED
ON RIFLE TARGETS
Indifference of Contractors Will
Delay Completion of
State Range.
Not :i single bid mis received up t<> \
the closing hour at noon yesterday on
the construction of the rlrie targets
anil butts for the new Stute rlfte range
and vamp site near Virginia Beach. In I
response to the advertisements, many
inquiries for specifications were re?
ceived -it the office of Adjutant-General
W. \V. Sale, but no one tendered a
bid.
This is somewhat surprising, since
vhe work is rather exAonslxe. It is
regarded as possible thai the spect
lieatlous. coming from War Depart?
ment standards, were rather technical
i ud obscure. In this event, pains
will be taken to be mote- explicit in
future.
The nr.Nt step will be to discover
the source of Indifference, and ilicii
to ask for bids over again; A further
delay Is now necessary in fitting out
the range for use by the Virginia Vol
u n 11 < rs,
As this is the year for joint mail
e?overs with the regulur army,, the
property could not be used for camp
purposes, but It was Intended to have
some iitie contests there.
General Sale realizes that the work
I? very unusual, since never before
was a contact awarded In Virginia for
construction of this sort. A good deal
of concrete work is involved in put?
ting up the targets and Ihe nccessarj
butts.
To a lriipe extent sand hills will
halt Ihe bullets which miss the tar?
gets, this being it Consideration in the
acceptance of inV ' pi ou.ert j. which be

MILITIA CAPTAIN
RELIEVED OF POST
Davant, Who Did Service at
Hillsville, Comes In for
Criticism.
There was much interest in military
circles when Ii became known yes?

port his action.
The presumption is that Captain
Davant will tender his resignation at
an early date.
t hnrnelrr Not Attached.
No charges affecting Captain Da

been that he was Inattentive lo his

impossible to Induce hint to answer
Official letters, to make up and for?
ward h'H reports and 10 maintain that
attention to the demands of the service
regardod necessary lo discipline.
Possibly, also. U is suggested] he Is
lacking 'n qualities of leadership and
failed to hold his men. However, as
a Held ofllcer he has ranked high. He
,i? a graduate Of the Virginia Military
I Institute, where lie was, a cadet cjp
I ttilrt. He has always been ready for
any sort Of a active service, l.ast year
he visited the army camp at San
Artohlo, Texas, on Invitation of the
