BERLIN IS SILENT
ON THE FIGHTING
AROUND VERDUN
No Details Have Been Re
ceived of the Battle East
of Paris-New Light on
Campaign.

Berlin, via Copenhagen and London,
Sept. 12.-No details of the battles
eastward of Paris and around Verdun
have been received either from the
general staff or the correspondents at
tached to headquarters
A telegram has been made public,
while was sent by Emperor william
to the king of Saxony. congratulating
him on the achievements of his army
on Sept. 9, after hot fighting. The
telegram throws little light on the
fighting near Paris. The army re-
ferred to is that under the Saxon gen
eral, Won Hansen. which is in an In
termediate position between the armies
of General Won Buelow on the right
and tho Duke Albrecht of Wuertem-
berg. on the left Its line of march

sumably occupied a position on the left

The captured guns and prisoners
mentioned in yesterdays headquarters
report are presumably the fruit Of the
success mentioned in the emperor 8
congratulatory message.
Crown Prince in Command.
The German counter stroke to tho
Anglo French offensive near Paris
was delivered by the army of Crown
Prince Frederick William. which cap
tured a fortified French position south
west of Verdun. This position inter
posed a barrier between the German
Marine army the left wing of which ex-
tended to Vitry lie Francois, and the
crown princes forces.
Its occupation enables the closer CO.
operation of the two sections of the
German invading asrmy. The attack
on the barrier forts south of Verdun,
supported by the German siege artil-
lery, promises. In case of success, a
completion of the enlightenment of Yer
dun. An attempt of the garrison to
break through the line has been ex-
pected for several days.
The commander of the Second Ba-
varian army corps, forming a part OF
the Sixth army in Lorraine, has issued
an order OF the day to the troops
conveying the thanks of general head
quarters to the Sixth army for holding
out so stiffly, heroically and success
fully and thereby preventing the enemy
from sending reinforcements north
ward, and intimating that the time is
not ripe for an offensive movement
by this army.
The victory of General Won Hinder
burg will probably clear German ter
ritory for the time being of Russians
whose flood of invasion had swept al
most to the gates Of Koenigsberg.
The Lokal Anzeiger assumes that the
right wing of the defeated army Is
not now far from the Koenigsbere
left, in the vicinity of Gumbinnen.

BATTLE OF MONS
The Sunday Merry making
Was Suddenly Interrupt
ed by Bursting of Shrap-
mel Overhead.

London, Sept. IA British private

treat from Mons. tells the following
story of the battle there:
1T was Sunday and the British reg
iments at Mons were merry-making
and enjoying themselves along the

confusion. But 1t did not take the
regiments long to get into fighting

scene Of operations. on the other side
of y small canal in the suburbs.
Here our outposts were engaging
the enemy fiercely. The outposts lost
heavily, most of the damage being done
by shells The rifle fire was ineffective.
although at times tho lines OF con-
tenders were not more than 800 yards
apart.
THE first achievements to arrive
were posted in a glass factory, the
walls of which were loop-holed. and
we doggedly held that position until
nightfall. when we fixed bayonets and
lay in wait in case the enemy made
an attempt to rush the position In the
darkness.
About midnight orders came 30 re-
tire over the canal and two companies
were left behind to keep the enemy
in check temporarily. After the main
body had crossed, the bridge was
blown up, leaving the two outpost
companies to get across as best they
could by boats or swimming. Most of
them managed to reach the main body
again.

town and fell back through open
country, being kept moving all night.
When daylight arrived 1t was appar-
emit from higher ground that Mons
had been practically blown away by

IN PECULIAR Mix-UP.
Player Bats Out of Turn Four Times
In Game.

There was a peculiar mix-up in a
recent Washington Louis game.
when the Browns wanted to send
Clarence Walker to bat for Sam Ag-
new. Wallace had just singled and
as Walker came to bat he said to Um-
pre Evans that he was hitting for
Agnew. Evans pulled out the official
batting order and made the discovery
that Wallace's name appeared on it in
eighth place, and he at once declared
Agnew out, in accordance with the
rules.
Manager Hickey made so many
changes I'm his lineup just before the
game that Evans requested him to
write it out so that IL would be legible
instead OF using badly marked-up
card. Hickey wrote out the batting
order and placed Leary and Austin
ahead OF Wallace but when the game
started Wallace batted ahead of both
Of these players He did this four
times and was not discovered out of
place. but when Walker came to bat
and Evans consulted the official bat
ting order the error was found. Ric-
key had to admit that he had made a
mistake, and Evans refused to stand
for the precedent which Wallace es-
tablished by reason Of going to bat
four times as the sixth man in the
lineup. Evans claims that under the
circumstances Griffith would have
been justified in protesting the game
had he allowed Walker to bat for Ag-
new when he wanted to.
81 have known batters TO bat out OF
turn, but this is The first time in my
experience that a batter has gone up
four times out OF turn before he is dis
covered" remarked Umpire Evans.

SACRIFICE GOLF '''''
LINKS FOR WAR
British Sportsmen to Plow Up
Fields to Grow Grain

London, Aug. 27.-Proposals that
golf courses, cricket and football fields
be plowed for raising crops during
war time have been reaching the war
office.
A. j. Sherwood, secretary OF the
Walton- Heath Golf club at EPSON
points out that there are at least 1000
golf courses in the country which
could spare some If not considera BILE
land for cultivation. The Walton
Heath club has already started an ex-
pertinent OF twelve acres under cult
vation, and its secretary believes that
il other clubs, including cricket and
football organizations would do the
same, the scheme would provide en-
ployment for thousands of unskilled
workers and add considerably to the
nations food supply.
In these days OF self sacrifice no one
appears to be wanting to enjoy himself
on the golf links. They are generally
deserted. and probably will be to the
end Of the war. T, b. Gullich, secre-
tary of the Golfers club, has suggest
ed that the hundreds Of clubhouses
should be offered to the military au
thorities for use y hospitals.
Mr.. Gullich is sending a letter to the
secretary OF every club and expects
that in few weeks, If the war office
favors the scheme, practically every
clubhouse in the country will he equip
ped as a hospital. 1t is thought that
those on the east coast might be es-
pecially useful.
Il find" said Mr.. Gullich, that golf
ers are very anxious to do something
useful and so far no one has been able
TO think OF anything better than giving
up the clubhouses. There must be at
least 1000 which could be used as hos
pitals. or in any other way that mill
tary authorities think ft. The bigger
ones have been made out OF luxurious
country houses and could be trans
formed into hospitals in a few days to
accommodate some hundreds. and
there are well over 1000 small houses
which could take care OF from twelve
to fifty with only slight alterations.
THE clubhouse staff would be avail
able FOR the cooking and attendance.
II the various clubhouses respond, as
| think they will there would be no
difficulty In Offering the war office 25.-
600 BEDS Another OF Mr.. Gulllch's
proposals is using the 10000 caddles
who are now idle to help farmers get
in the harvest.

YOUNG MEN BEST GOLFERS.
Winners Of Last Two Championships
Mere Youths.

Golf is "an old mans game" is il?
Well how about Oumet, who won the
open championship last year when a
little less than 22 years OF age? And
how about Walter c. Hagen, who won
II last week? Hagen is only 20. lie
nosed out Chick Evans, another youth.
and Ouimet, too.
The whole thing in nutshell is that
golf is pretty good game for "old
men" to play. They'd break their legs
in football, their fingers in baseball,
and their hearts in tennis. but they
can stroll around golf course and get
a lot OF first-class exercise without
breaking anything at all.
At the same time, there's no athletic
game ever invented that can't be
played by nimbe enduring youth
than by careful calculating age. That's
why the Ouimets and the Evanses and
the IIagens rank so high. With older
men golf is likely to be entirely game
played for pleasure and exercise. But
the youngsters go the limit just as
they do in everything else.
One interesting thing about the open
championship professional meet
was that a professional won. but am
ateurs were in second and third places
and very close up.

She is described as a wall-sided

overhang. Though she looks heavy
