the event Of sudden war the army
would be unable TO supply its usual
reserve Of ammunition for small arms
to meet the needs Of the navy. That
statement was made by Brigadicr-gen-
eral CroZier, chief of the ordnance
bureau of the war department, in a
plea to the house military affairs COM
mlttees for an appropriation with
which TO increase the armys ammu-
milton reserve TO 120.0oo.000 rounds.
Pointing out that practically the
navy itself does not accumulate any
ammunition reserve At all for small
arms, General CroZier said the navy
department had notified the war de-
partment, that 1t would want the army
to carry about $4,000, 900 rounds Of am
munition as a reserve for the navy
and marine corps.
'Tf there should be a sudden threat
Of war" he declared, would expect TO
need for ourselves ammunition up to
1S0, 900, and we would have none to
meet the emergency needs of the
navy"

The tennis courts at Shat
ter that have been in bad
condition for some time past
are to- be renovated and practically
reconstructed. The regimental mess
will take over the duty of financing
the work and will maintain the up
keep of the courts. The screens sur
rounding the courts will have to be
entirely rebuilt owing to the damage
done by the high winds last month
when so many other items of damage
were incurred at Shafter.
One of the most remarkable end
ings to a baseball game was the final
play between the teams Of A and L
companies on Friday afternoon.
The score was time when L CON-
pany went to bat in the last half in
ming. The first batsman up for l..
hit the first ball pitched a mighty
swat and when the ball took a high
bound over the outfielder's head the
bases and managed to beat out the re-
layed THROWN. Unfortunately in his
haste he failed to touch third base
and the cheers of L company were
turned into groans as the umpire call
ed the careless playeE out on the
play. l. company's supporters had
gleefully started home when the de-
cision recalled them to the bleachers
but there was no appeal possible so
number two on the batting order step
ped up, prepared to do his level best
His best was likewise put forth on
the first ball offered and this time
there was no mistake about the hit
1t was clean four-bagger and L COM
pany to a man saw to it that no base
was cut on that time around The
company was unit organization on
advice and entreaty. 1t was no time
fer fOoling; no time to take a third
chance. And then the company did
go home-it was really over.

There are twenty cases in Washing

Jews Of Washington to permit their own
people to be cared for at the expense
of other denominations. and when thy
