Problems Unequaled in Novelty and
Difficulty, Of Solution Faced With
Gallantry Never Surpassed.

The War Department has made public
the last order issued by Gen. Jacob r..
Smith. prior to his leaving the archipei-
ago for this country. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Pursuant to telegraphic Instructions
from division headquarters, the under
signed hereby relinquishes command of
the Sixth Separate Brigade. For over
forty years his daily life has been iden-
tilted with the soldiers of our army. and
naturally he has had a large and varied
experience of them and their deeds. And
never in all his long period has he seen
them confronted with problems so novel,
so difficult of solution. and which re-
ouired such courage persistency, ana
pluck as those imposed upon them by
the Samar campaign now closing. Never

hardships more gallantly faced

Friends Claimed a Foul.
AT a recent set of schoolbcy games
held in cae OF the armories. was
watching the races very carefully when
one of the contestants during the lasl
lap was in such a weak condition that
it WAS only by sheer exhaustion that he
kept on his feet until within fifty wards
of the finish, with no one within ten

" The athlete who had fallen was picked

Novices Mostly at Fault.
at Is particularly noticeable that few
old-tim athletes are disqualified at
athletic meetings for fouling. Nearly
all the disqualifcations are handed out
TO young beginners, as the old-time run
ner keeps his head
by that Of course I do not mean to
say the veteran athlete is never dis

unfair advantage of a fellowrunner. I
have known them to do it. but in such

ATHLETICS SPORT FOR AMATEUR AND PROFESSIONAL.

Corps indoor teams are devoting their
spare moments to baseball and the team
is putting up a fairly good article OF
the game. The team has lost two and
wen two, and one CT these losses was
to the Engineer Corps, L. S. A, at the
barracks. II to l3
Captain Handiboe is working hard to
whip his team into shape, but is handi-
capped by the lack of a practice field.
The team in former years played on the
Monument lot. but since that was closed
to all teams over eighteen years OF age
the soldiers. as well as others, are on
the lookout for grounds.
Captain Edwards has requested the
Beard Of Athletics of the District of
Columbia National Guard to secure
permission from Colonel Bingham to
play lawn tennis on the parking in front
of the Center Market Armory. II would
undoubtedly be a decided benefit to the
Athletic Association and to the Guard
generally. as it would bring in new
members.
Basketball and Baseball.
The baseball team has arranged to
play several practice games with the
Y. NJ. C. A. and al;orward a series of
match games will be played. The team
would like to arrange games with the
Departmental League mines and other
uniformed teams in this section.
The basketball team. which made such
an enyiGble record last season, is al
ready looking forward to next winter
ana hopes to repeat its success. 1t will

The baseball games scheduled for the

The charges against Captain Ryan are

volve Captain Ryar's conduct as post
commander at Jimenez, Mindanao.
where he had under his charge nearly
a hundred prisoners. Captain Ryan ac-
cused some of the prisoners of treason.
and in securing evidence to support
his charges. is said to have resorted to
cruel measures. The report says that
he was responsible for the return Of
number of friars into his province. ere
ating much dissatisfaction among the
inhabitants. and also charge him with
the construction of a large stockaGs
built OF betelnut trees.
Betel Nut Trees.
The report says 1T must have re-
quired at least several thousand trees
to construct the stockade. These trees
do not grow spontaneously. and are con-
sidered of great value By the natives.
The captain has cut when and where
he saw fit without saying a word to
anyone"
Regarding the charges OF cruelty it is
said that one prisoner was made to
stand upon wooden floor and had his
legs knocked from under him His
head was then jolted against the floor
and he was later made to stand upon
his head in bucket of water for the
purpose of securing information from
him.

are stable, along with his platform,

that intoxicants should not be sold
