FUTURE OF The NAVAL AIDS.
Successor To Capt. Fullsm Not Yet
Appointed in Washington.

Considerable gossip has been stim-
0lated by the delay in the designation
OF a naval officer for the position Of
aid for personnel in the Navy De-
partment. That Office has been va
can't since the detachment OF Capt.
w. +. Fullam, u. s. N, some weeks
ago to assume the duties Of superin-
tendent Of the Naval Academy.
The names Of two officers OF prom
inence and experience have been
mentioned as the possible successor
OF Captain FuIlsm, those of Capt. A.
z. Fechtsler, now aid for inspec.
ttcns, and Capt. Henry B. Wilson.
now president of the board of in
speetinn and survey for ships. II
has been rumored that the Secve-
tary of the Navy does not intend
to assign any officer to duty as aid
for personnel, and this has created
a further impression that there viii
be designated no successors to the
other aids of the Secretary Of the
Navy when the tour of duty of the
present incumbents shall have ex-
Iired.
There is evidently, so far as can be
learned in the Navy Department, no
occasion for any such surmise. The
Secretary of the Navy has come TO
depend in large measure upon the
assistance and counsel derived from
the aids. There is no more indica-
tion now than there was during the
administration of Mr.. Daniels pre-.
decessors of any change in the adj
ministration of the Navy Depart
meni which will do away with the
aids. With this situation prevail
ing, it may be expected, therefore,
that it is only question of time, and
presumably very short time, when
Secretary Daniels will indicate the
officer who shall be aid for personnel,
since it is necessary to have the
affairs of the personnel represented
in the conferences which are periodi-
cally held between the Secretary and
che aids.
The delay in the detail of an officer
as aid for personnel is evidently due
to other reasons than any plan con
templated by the Secretary which has
ultimately in view the elimination
of the aid system. There has
been, as already stated an in
formal discussion among mem
bers of the House naval committee
conce rning the aids, and the appre-
hension his been again expressed that
the continuance of the aids means
an establishment OF additional bu-
reaus, it being alleged that the aids
are now exercising executive func-
tions. AT the same time it is also
appreciated that nothing should be
done, either by legislation or by at
tempted influence upon the Secre-
tary, which will appear to hamper
him in his preference for a means of
requiring the information he re-
quires from the sources he desires.
On the other hand it is equally GER
tain that nothing will be done toward
the legalizing of the aids.

GEORGIA BOY OUT OF WORLD
SERIES WITH BROKEN LEG
Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 7.-Sadness
broods over Atlanta baseball fans to-
day because Atlantas only chance to
get local end on the world series
went glimmering yesterday afternoon
when Red" Smith, third baseman OF
the Boston Braves, broke his leg in
sliding to second in the game with
Brooklyn. Smith is an Atlanta boy, an
Auburn graduate, and Georgia's only
representative on the Boston team
except, Of course, George Stallings, the
wonderful manager whom the baseball
writer's call the Miracle Man"
However, Georgians are roofing hard
for the Braves on account of Stallings,
who was born and reared near Mil
ledgeville and has home there. Stall
ings is particularly friendly to the
Georgia Military college at Milledge-
vile, and has done a great deal to help
it, and some of his most loyal admirers
are in that city-and not all in the SAN
itarium there, either.

ROAD To TIPPERARY"

Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 5.-LocaI
vaudeville theatres have made a hit
this week with the new British army
marching song, which has set London
crazy. 1t is called THE Road to Tip
peraray," and the chorus is like this:
It's a long way to Topperaray,
It's Ion way to go;
It's a long way to Tipperaray,
To the sweetest girl l know;
Goodbye, Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square;
It's a long, long way to Tipperaray,
But my hearts right there"
The story goes that Jack Judge, a
music hall singer of London, offered
the song to forty publishers before it
was accepted, and now the man who
took it is selling ten thousand copies
q dav. The French and the Russians
have taken it up, and it is becoming
az universal a favorite as "At Hot
Time" was in the Spanish war.

the air. But of the enemy nothing is
seen.
When the trees are big enough fair
ly good cover is offered by them. Di-
rectly the fire opens the battle line
halts and falls fat to the ground, every
man waiting and looking for a target.
There is no shooting done here with
the German rifles except one has some
body on the sight. But often there is
nothing to be done but to advance
again, and to brighten the fellows with
our hurrahs.' Along the lines travel
stentorian Fix Bayonets,' then comes
the command 'March-March' and the
line springs to its feet, plunges for
wards and a nerve-raking 'hurrah'
smashes through the woods. The en-
emy's fire begins a veritable hail Of
lead. Some fall, but Onward crashes
the German line.
"As soon as we reach the position of
the enemy his fire ceases, and all take
to flight Our bullets follow them and
then many a Red pants lies on the
floor of the forest But our bullets do
not find a mark long-the enemy has
disappeared; we after him, only to
meet another terrific hail of lead.

the ground just beside me-but never

very hide of the fellows.
I'VE soon reach our goal-a trench
of a slight elevation to the left from
where heavy fire has done much dam
age in our line. Many of US are down,
and others crawl to the rear to get
their wounds attended to. Now, fire!
The crest Of the trench becomes our
target The rattle of musketry from
both sides becomes reafening. One Of
us will have to give in. Fire, fire! We
have learned how to shoot straight
the fire in the trench weakens; the
trench itself is yelled now by cloud of
dust raised by our bullets.
Advance, comes the command again
We all are impelled forward by the
mad desire to get at them. One hun
dred meters separate US from the en-
envy. Many sacrifices are demanded
in the final charge Again the enemy's
fire weakens-then it almost ceases.
Advance shouts somebody. The
fellows must be driven out of the
trenches. Some of them already are
leaving, but our bullets lay them low
as they run. Another halt-another ad-
vance. Only fifty meters to the trench
.barbed wire entanglements block our
progress.
But tie fellows in the trenches
have lost faih in themselves. They
desert their positions in masses-run-

HUMAN INTEREST

Correspondence of Associated Pres
ROTTERDAM, September 19.-Much
of the news of the war gets into the
German press in the form of letters
which officers and privates at the front
send to their families. Written by men
who describe what they actually see

constantly at a disadvantage because
of their red pants and blue coats. The
Alpine Chasseurs are fine fellows, and
in Germans uniforms they would make
good appearance. In the French hotel

The chasseurs wear red or blue knee
