FANS AND FANATICS ONCE MORE

The Lagrange Graphic, July 2, con-
tains a lengthy article under the
heading: Americas Paper Hits Mar
tin; Martin Makes Hot Rejoinder."
The Times-Recorder does not wish
to enter into a wrangle of words with
the Reverend Mr. Martin. When we
criticised his article on baseball which
appeared in the Wesleyan Christian
Advocate, we did not mention his
name. Our remarks were aimed at
the peculiar views of the brother, and
not at the man; but The Graphic says
we Hit" Martin.
Since the local paper was kind en-
ough to the brother not to reproduce
his article, we are inclined to be just
as generous and leave him alone H.

we do not believe there is a ball play

new and the best traits of the old.
These things, and only these, will b..
permanent.
Ex-Congressman, w. R. Webb, Of
Bell Buckle, Tennessee, is now pretty
well advanced in years; but he is not
an "old fogy." He is a progressive.
He says that when he was a boy, over
sixty years ago, he hauled saw-logs
with two to six yoke of oxen; but
, that, if he had to haul saw-Iogs now,
he would use 100-horsepower motor.
He would keep step with progress.
Out in st. Louis, the other day, a
few blacksmiths refused to ride in
automobiles, because, in many in
stances, they have taken the place of
horses. Other blacksmiths, who keep
step with progress, not only shoe
norses, put also run garages. Some
of them have progressed to the point
where they can get away from the
heat of the forge, and operate a string
of motor cars of their own.
In one sense, man is like a tree.
If a tree ceases to grow it begins to
die. When a man ceases to progress,
in one way Or another, he becomes
merely a breathing corpse, a fossilizei
nonentity.
"Right-left,-hep-hep!"
Let every mothers son keep step,
| For the world is moving on.

And still another rushes to print
with the complaint that the word

why should a woman promise to
obey? She is not a child. 1t is too
subservient. Only servants obey, also

In conclusion, we wish to say that
some of our best friends, among the
ministers, have season tickets, attend
the games and enjoy them. They
would not have accepted these tickets

PACIFIC LINER FIRED

The Pacific liner Ortega which ar
rived in Liverpool October 20 from VAL

cruiser. probably the Leipzig, on Sep
TENDER IL. When the Ortega discov-
cred she was being chased she made for
the dreaded Cape George at something
over her trial trip speed.
They found themselves in an un-
| charted lagoon. which was really n
roundabout entrance to the Straits OF
Magellan. It was decided to navigate
this unknown waterway, and n small
boat was sent ahead to take surround
inss. After much difficulty the known
but unfrcquented waterway of Smyths
Channel was reached. On arriving at
Punta Arenas they discovered that a
wireless message had been received
from the German ship, which had re-
manned outside the channel. saying the
Ortega had been sunk with all on board.
On reaching the Atlantic further ex-
element was In store. as II. NJ S.

Charges That Mon and boys Are Not

MANY DEATHS ARE RESULTING
Complaints Regarding England's
Training Camps Recall Accusation
OF Criminal Neglect Made in Amer

Correspondent OF The Associated Press
LONDON. October 2s.-charges that
men and boys in England's training
camps are not receiving humane treat
ment. and that many deaths are re-
sulting from bad feeding and poor
shelter, are causing great Indignation.
The complaints recall charges of GRIM
iEal neglect that were made against
military authorities responsible for
conditions at mobilization centres In
the United States during the Spanish
American War
Some OF the charges against the
British War Office have been put into
specific form. a letter. written by f.
II. Bailey. of bennington Spa, whose
son enlisted from oxford on September
10. and died from pneumonia on the
training grounds on Salisbury Plains
has been made public. From it is taken
the following story:
In the course of his training, the
young recruit wrote to HIS father on
October 2, he said:
we, OF course, are BtiH, and suffer
from bad feet. but We should not mind
these discomforts II they would only
feed us properly. To-day the food was
slightly better. but II was not cooked
None of us has had a square meal

What they call tea Is colored water

given US are rotten, and tear at the

arrive some hours before death oc-
Cured. The boy was full OF gratitude
for the kindness Of the hospital stan,
but bitterly condemned the lack of
preparation for the men. the camp
tents and scanty and badly cooked food
supply.
This is but one Of number of deaths
in the training camps, and the proper
clothing and housing of the men is
proceeding all too slowly, according to
critics. In view OF the coming OF VIM
