German Troops HaraSS
French Along Border

LONDON Aug. 1.-The situation is extremely
critical along the FrancoGerman frontier today. 1t is
feared that the first lighting which will be the signal for the
opening of general European will be between the
French and German troops.
The border conditions have been brought to critical
stage due to German troops stopping French trains sezng
the locomotives, and tearing up tracks.
Ii is reported that detachment of German cavalry
actually crossed the border and entered France This has
inRamed the French although the Germans Immediately
Withdrew.
Tracks torn up and guns placed in position at
Pagny Sur Mosae. Four French locomotives seized
at Montreaux Vieux after the railroad tracks had been
torn up.
After Selling French rolling stock and cutting the tel
egraph wires, Germans at Amanvers, another frontier
town. forced the French railway to walk back to their
cwn territory.
Motor carrying tourists have been seized by the
German troops and their occupants sent back French
soil
Large bodies of French and German troops are now
patrollng the border. With the Gemans Selling French
property at unguarded points, it is feraed fighting may
soon break out the frontier

LEARN GAME BACKWARD

II the guiding spirits in the world Of
athletics don't stop making rules concern
ing the athletes there won't be anybody
but reporters writing articles for news
papers.
The last crushing blow dealt TO auth
ors'' has been handed out by the United
States Golf Association. which decided
that amateur golfers who were receiving
money for writing newspaper articles IN
which they explained certain golf shots
were guilty of professionalism
In view of the fact that most OF the
leading golfers IN this country have been
doing that very thing, it would seem
that we haven't any more amateurs in
our midst-that is. none but the duners.
B But the United States Golf Association
isn't going to be overly harsh on the
fellows who have been writing and posing
as amateurs at the same time. It prob
ably will send word to them that as
soon as their present contracts expire
they must desist, or lose their amateur
standing, but that no penalty will be
meted out for their past ofense. They
probably will be forgiven on the pro-
text that they didn't know any better.
The fact that the goling experts will
stop telling the duffer Just how to play
the game ought to be good news for
the duffer 1t even may save him from
ending up in the madhouse. AS matters
have stood for a considerable period, the
golfing recruit who tried to learn the
game by reading the different advice OF
different gOlfing experts nearly always
contracted delirium tremens or something
on that order-and mighty little golfng
wisdom
One expert would tell him that the
drive from the tee was most important
that he should practice that Another
told him it was the approach shot that
counted. The next told him it was all
in putting Some told him that in putting
he should look only at the ball; others
pooh-poohed that advice They said he
should look at the hole.
Learn the game backward, begin by
putting" was one bit of advice. The
reXt article he read told him that the
fellow who advised learning the game
backward was a boob. that the only
way TO learn was to begin at the begin
ming.
If the beginner put his whole weight
ehind 4 drive from the tee he found,
upon reading one article that he done
noble" Upon reading the next article
Re discovered that he was wrong. He
shouldn't have put his whole weight be-
hind the drive. Such an act might throw
him on his balance, and. when in such
a perilous condition, he might slice, or
pull. or foozle or do a lot of other
equally awful stunts.
