Hon. Lindley NJ Garrison.
Secretary Of War.
Washington. ID. G.
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary:
| herewith hand you letter from
Mr. l.. II Halk,m. which speaks
for itself. Mr. HalIam is very re-
liable citizen
| have had numbers of urgent re
quests from citizens living in Lar
edo and Brownsville along the same
line as this letter
For the life of me. N cannot under
stand why you continue to retain
large number of soldiers at Fort
Sam Houston. when. temporarily.
at least. they could be located ut Lar
edo and Brownsville without doing
injury to the service. and quiet the
fears of the people in those cOmmun-
tiles.
1t will not do to say that the views
Of these people are erroneous ana
their fears are not well founded;
they understand the situation better
than YOU of your department.
Now. there can be no reason why
YOU should not make an effort to
protect these people except that the
officers and men would prefer the
shades of Fort Sam Houston to ser
vice along the Rio Grande.
7 am not a .kicker." and have not
been for these ten years. but l. do pro
test most vigorously 1t the indiifer
ence exhibited towards that section
of the United States by your De
partmcnt.
] am. sir. with great respect.
Your Obedient servant.

Severance of st. Paul. His intinerary
includes visits to West Point and AL
bany.
Previously warned that he might
expect 10 be interviewed by American
newspapermen on his arrival in New
York, the chancellor smilingly greeted
delegation of them who boarded the
Lusitania at Quarantine and submit
ted to another interview when he
reached the hotel where he is max
ing his headquarters in this city.

tween serious remarks and conced ed
the American custom of interviewing
distinguished visitors was "deligI-
fully progressive"
Lord Haldane clIuckled when the
question Of women suffrage was
brought up. Yes, l am a suffragist"
he said, but / do not approve of the
militant suffraget. You are fortunate
TO have no militant suffragets In this
country and / sincerely hope the mill
tant idea will not gain a foothold
here. The methods Of the English
suffragets have delayed equal suf-
frage for years.

DARK HORSE MAY
WIN TENNIS HONOR
MiIIiman and Zimmerman Will
Play in 7. M. C. A. Contest
T0day-Winner to Get a
Chance at Association Cup.

A dark horse may capture the Y.
NJ. c. A. tennis tourney honors this
year.
These were the developments of
the semi-finals played Friday after
noon. when Milliman a new player
here this season in a brilliant and fast
game, won from Warner with a score
of Ga. Is. 10. In the game between
Zimmerman and Jernegan, "Zim"
with an invincible serve walked away
with the match, scoring Ga. 60.
Since he came to South Bend this
year. Milliman. has been startling 10
cal players with his brilliant playing.
Although he was not counted on as
being one 10 match Forster, Monday
in the championship meet. the favor
may go to him. He has won honors
at other meets.
He played a close net game, clos
ing in whenever opportunity pre-
scented. Warner passed him several
times in the second set, with high
balls He returned many of Warner
shoots with shots that carried the
ball at great speed. and in the third
his opponent with his drives.
Milliman has a tremendous reach
covering a large territory. His meth
DDS of playing close TO the net and
his long arms give him a big handi-
cap over the other competitors.

Zimmerman with whom he will try

slashes fans the ball. generally plac-
ing it in the back court or along the
side line.
He has never been matched with
Milliman, and great interest is being
shown over the game which will be
played Saturday "Zim" already has
two annual tennis honOrs to his
credit and was only beaten last season
by Forster by close scores.
1t is generally believed that one Of
the two men will be able to take the
cup away from Forster, who for some
time has been out of the city, and is
believed not to be in form as are his
opponents. He arrived from his va
cation, early this week and has been
working hard TO fit himself for the

year. and the players fear that if he
gains the victory over Milliman Sat
urday, the cup will be cinched for
him. tt will be his third annual vic
tory and he will be entitled TO pos
session Of the cup.
The game played Friday between
"Zim" and Jernegan was rather un-
even throughout, although Jerne-
gan put up his best fight. The two
players were in excellent condition
and the game proved the most excit-
ing of the tourney.
Comparing the two men, Warner
said, "Milliman and Zimmerman use
entirely different tactics in playing
their games. Both have individual
moves and original plays and when
the two get together we can't hardly
guess how they will match"
The games are being played in the
courts on S. Lafayette st. No admis-
sion is charged and a large crowd of
spectators gathered Friday. 1t is ex-
pected that even more will be present
