NEW LIFE IN LATIN
QUARTER Of PARIS
Return of Soldiers on Leave
of Absence Makes Things
Gay Again.

PARIS, Aug. 2O.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press)-In the
Latin Quarter" OF Paris the return
of some thousands of soldiers on leave
of absence from the front has been
like the day of judgment in a eeme-
terry. From mournfu. desertiol, the
streets, the cafes, the restaurants
have taken a new life. Little mid
inettes" and artists, models !. have
crept down from their attic rooms in
their improYised finery of Sundays
and holidays. and proudly leaning on
the arms Of their student.soldier
sweethearts, parade the Luxembourg
Gardens and the streets Of Montpar-
nasse in radiant Joy for the first time
in a year.
For here, in the heart of the Latin
Quarter, a great part of the popula-
ton has always consisted Of students
in the various art schools. in the an
cient university OF the Sorbonne. in
the schools of medicine, law and, en-
gineering and in the college of France.
With the outbreak Of war it was as
il a great plague had swept over the
Quarter. Almost no men were left.
Now all is alive again in the Quar-
ter. Tables in front of the cafes
stretch out to the very legal limit OF
the awnings and beyond. In front of
the cafes, in the parks. but especial
ly on the trans and trains bound
countryward. gay parties of artists in
earth.stained regimentals and models
in their bravest best. celebrate the
respite from fighting that the Wax
Department has granted. There Is
something odd in the sight Of a young
soldier, a girl on his arm and a paint
box instead of a knapsack strapped on
his back. off for a day of the joyous
work Of creation. after so many
months Of the grim work of death.
On the opposite bank OF the Seine,
on the heights of Montmartre, the
I scene created by the temporary home
coming of so many Of the country's
soldiers is very different, although no
less animated. Here, many OF the
''permissionaries," as the soldiers on
leave are called, are seeing Paris for
the first time. People OF the. country.
inhabitants of small, provincial towns.
whose means have never permitted
them to visit Paris, seize the oppor-
tunity on their way back from the
front to pass a day or two in the
city. Sometimes their wives and fam
lilies meet them in the capital, and to-
gether they make a pilgrimage to the
points Of interest Of the ancient city.

McIlwaine defeated A. Gordon Whit
man, of Manhattan, by the comfortable
margin of 4 and 3, always having the
match we'll in hand after the first few
holes. Had the winner played out The
bye holes he would have had pretty
close to an 81.
The result Of the first elimination
round was that Howard W. Maxwell,

the first semi-fnal match o-day, while
In the other Mcllwaine will meet Car

In addition to the semi-fnal and final

Blanchard, Of Brooklawn, and gave his
elder opponent a good run ere he sue

Mahon plays in rare form, for a boy,

1.-the limbed lads, national cham
pions in the making, with youthful as
surance laughed defiance at the bunk
ers and traps in the opening rounds OF
the metropolitan junior championship
on the links of the Garden City Golf
Club yesterday.
Archie G. McIlwaine, I'd, won the
medal in the testing round with an 80,
exceptional going considering the dim
cult nature of the course. more trying
than usual on account of the stiff wind.
Because conditions called for an
eighteen-hole qualification round, with
contestants classifying themselves into
Fights, quick action was assured.
Philip V. G. Carter, winner Of the
Junior title at Plainfeld for the last
two years, qualified next to the leader
and won his first round match, as did
Reginald NJ. Lewis, the schoolboy from
Ridgefeld, Conn, entered from Wyka-
CYL. ,
As the object Of those In charge of
this annual meeting is TO encourage
rather than discourage the younger e e.
ment, the executive committee OF the
Metropolitan Golf Association acted
leniently with the entry list, for
strict Interpretation of the printed
conditions would have meant the re-
fusal Of several unattached golfers.
"These boys are interested in golf
or they would not have sent in their
entries, and the tournament is for
them" explained f. NJ. Barnes, the as
ISOLATION secretary ave want to help
them, not hinder them, and we exercise
supervision"
Carriers opponent at match play hap
pened to be Vincent X. Hilton, formerly
Of Hackensack, but now of Greenwich,
who was the runner-up last year. The
champion was not at his best, although
going out he played soundly enough,
having an advantage of four holes. On
the inward journey, however, Carter
seemed unable to do anything right.
His worst misfortune came at the
tenth, where he had two puts for the
hoe. He proceeded to stymie himself,
and in attempting to get by holed out
Hilton's ball and lost. That would be
a shock to almost anybody, and Hilton,
sticking strictly to his task, squared
the match on the fifteenth green.
Hilton has not learned to rise in a
crisis, and Carter took the next two
holes and the match with ease. The
cards follow:
