LAKEWOOD GOLF COURSE.
New Club House and Links Ready for
Winter Play.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LAKEWOOD, N. j., November 21.-When
the golfers Of all sections gather next week
for the Thanksgiving tournament at Lake
wood they will find the finest country club
in the UEited States, which has seemingly
sprung out of the ground since last fall 1t
is really sixteen months since the fl, st
strokes were taken. and $115,0O0 have been
spent in bringing about the present results.
The great club house. simple, but luxuri-
Gus in its richness. is little short of the
best modern hotels in the large cities,
while the golf course. stretching over no
acres, will soon have a national reputation.
Almost quarter Of this expanse was pine
forest, and hundreds of charges of dyna-
mite We're put in to clear away the roots.
This work alone cost more than a majority
of golf courses. The most remarkable
thirg about the links is its sheltered posi-
tion. 1t is screened by miles OF pine for
ests, which form an fmpenetrable barrier
from the wind. Indeed. in playing over the
course one can hear the wind rushing along
far overhead. but its motion is so imper-
ceptfbie below. that. but for the ears 1t
would scarcely be noticed AS an addi-
tional precaution, several of the tees are
set far back in the woods, under cover, so
to speak The members for years have had
an intimate knowledge of the territory,
having been identified either with the old
Country Club or the Golf Club. which have
been merged in this, the New Country
Club. Nature has for years been prepar-
ing the defense against the forces of win
ter, and science has nosr supplemented her
efforts.
The property is fully three miles from the
railroad station the road leading past the
paiatial place Of George j. Gould. who is
the new president of the club. Team and
handicap matches are expected to flourish
here all winter. except for q few days fol-
lowing heavy storms. The Lakewood

Emperor William of Germany Is covering himself with glory on the field of war He is as irresistible in sham battles as the boy in the nursery playing with tin soldiers. says the Toronto Star. It is easy enough to feel like Charlemagne when leading troops to victory in sham fight, and it is not hard to outdo the strategy of Frederick the Great when the oppos- ing force is doing it's level best to as- sist rather than defeat the conqueror. There is much to be said for the kali ser's method of proving himself great warrior. Perhaps the nations may be induced to take it up. If France and Germany should go to war they might fight with blank car tridges. having a British or Russian general as referee. He could score points and order the defeated side to retire. Soonor or later one army would get the other where. according to strategy, it would De "done for" and thereupon the war would be over without bloodshed and yet affording glory for the brave and contracts for army contractors.

The power of endurance of the Chinese coolie is marvellous. Many will travel over forty miles, carrying a heavy load on their backs, and think nothing of it.
