Berlin, Oct 10.-Germany's aerial fleet
suffered a severe loss today by the total
wrecking by explosion of one of its in
nense military dirigible balloons and OF

Renfckendorf, a suburb of Berlin. The
dirigible which was of the semirigid type

invented by Major Gross of the Prussian
army, was being refilled with hydrogen
gas by soldiers of the flying corps
The gas, which is highly inflammab;e
was being passed into the envelope from
metal cylinders when the friction of tie
gas itself filling the tube caused fire to
start. A violent explosion ensued com

ASKS ARGUS FOR NAME

The letters to Santa Claus" which
arrive daily at The Argus Office and
some of which are printed nightly in
the paper, are responsible for many
contributions TO the fund for the poor
children and also for requests for
names of children to whom people can
play Santa Claus themselves. A Rock
Island lady wrote to The Argus Santa
Claus yesterday and enclosed one of
the touching little letters which was
printed previously with the request
that the child's full name and address
be furnished her so that she can pro-
vide for its Christmas wants. The lit
tie child-it is a girl-says in her let
ter that her papa is in Watertown and
that her mamma works hard for Iiv-
ing. and that kind Santa Claus is her
only hope of getting the doll that she
wants for Christmas. The commit
tee will spare no effort to locate the
child and furnish its name to the kind
! lady who was touched by the letter.

ORIGIN OF TRUTHS.
The truths of Christian Science do
not originate in the book Science and

their origin Is in God. They have al

TENNIS TIT[EFOR
KATHERINE DENN|SON
Defeats Miss GrebIe in Finals
of Chevy Chase
Tourney.

Because OF the golf tournament and
the interclub tennis match between the
Chevy Chase and Columbia racketers
but few matches were decided in the an
nual closed tournament yesterday after
noon at the Chevy Chase Club.
The most important Of those decided
was that between Miss Anne Greble and
Miss Katherine Dennison. in the final
round Of the women's singles. the latter
winning. 81 and CA. Miss Greble was
thought to be the better player, and Miss
Dennison's rather easy victory comes as
quite surprise. Miss Dennison captured
two straight sets, 81 and Ga, the lat
ter being the most interesting. Through
out the match, the winner showed up in
splendid form overhead. She had good,
strong service, which had lots of sting
to 1t and which had Miss Greble guessing.
Miss Greble covered the court well, and
showed some splendid tennis in spots,
but as q whole. she was rather cratic.
Her defeat gives Miss Dennison the title.
The summaries for yesterday follow:
Woman's singles, scratch-Final round: Miss
Katherine Dennison defeated Miss A. Greble,
6-1 and 81.
Womens singles. handicap-First round: Miss

COLUMBIA Wins OUT.
Defeats Chevy Chase Club in
Initial Tennis Team Match.
PLAY ON LATTER'S COURTS
Connie Doyle and John Davidson
Score Easily Over
Opponents.

The first Of the series Of interclub
matches was played on the Chevy Chase
courts yesterday, Columbia Country Club
winning from Chevy Chase, five matches
to four This is the first year Columbia
has supported a tennis team, and judg-
ing from the strides it has made in the
short time has fostered the net game
it should rank up with the best before
very long
The Chevy Chase team was very much
weakened by the absence OF several OF
its best players. Lee McClung. E. w.
Dom, jr., Spencer Gordon and several
others failing to turn up. The Columbia
team has Connie Doyle and Norris w.
Mclean. former Bachelor Club stars. as
a nucleus.
The best match of the day was that
between Connie Doyle and j. Upshur
Moorehead in the singles, the Columbia
man winning by straight sets, 6-3 and
Ga. Doyle has been keeping in shape
by playing golf, and he appeared to be
at his best yesterday. His service was
working splendidly and he was just as
speedy as of old, playing the stiff, force
full game which has carried him success
fully through so many tournaments.
Moorehead put up one of his best games
In this match, being especially strong on
the defense
Davidson's easy victory over Hills was
lowing the fortunes of the different local
players. as Davidson was the District
champion for seventeen years, holding
the championship until five years ago,
when Conrad B. Doyle took 1t from him.
Hills was no match for him.
Grosvenor and Wilcox captured the
only singles which were won by the
locals, the former defeating N. W. Nc
Lean, while the latter took E. o. Leech
into camp.
Mclean proved to be rather cratic In
his match with Grosvenor and the supe-
rior steadiness of the older player was. in
feat. He had plenty of speed, but at
critical stages of the game he could not
control the ball. Grosvenor Is playing
one of the best games of his life just
about now, and deserved to win.
The next of the interclub matches will
be played at Chevy Chase, when that
club will meet the representatives Of the
Bachelors Club.
