The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-04-27

Final decision on the part of a num-
Der of the leading English professional
golfers relative to participating in the
United States open championship Is
expected within the next few days. Ed
ward Ray and Harry Vardon have al
ready announced their intention of
competing in the open title tournament
at Baltusrol June 1918. George Dun
can, James Braid and J. IL. Taylor
have intimated that they will make the
trip TO the States and should all five
compete in the open event it will prove
! one of the few real international con-
tests of the year.
These five players between them have
won the English open championship II
times in the past 2 years. Nardon has
captured the title six times, Taylor five
times and Ray once. Vardon also won
the United States open in 1890 when
the title tourney was played at the
Chicago Golf club at Wheaton, Ill. In
1913, Ray and Vardon tied with Fran
els Ouimet in the final round at Brook
line, Mass, being defeated in the play
off by the youthful American golfer
after one of the most sensational
matches ever played on an American
course. Their participation in the
United States championship wiuld lift
that event to the International plane
held by the 1913 tournament when the
leading professionals of England anc
France met the best American anna
teurs and professionals at Brookline
) Mass.

the war such trip would prove a
financial failure. The California, COLI

Whitby's last experience Of naval
warfare was rather curious. In June,
1886, two Dutch warships chased "a
pickroon belonging to the king OF
Spain" into the harbor and though in
neutral water. England being at peace
with both combatants. lowered their
boats to board the Spanish vessel
The governor Of the town, Sir Hugh
Cholmley, protested. but the Dutch
carried out their design and captured
the enemys ship Thus set at def
ance, Sir Hugh called up the trained
bands. took boats. recaptured the
Spanish ship and took prisoner one

Another Edison Marvel.

When the telephone was nothing
more than an experimental toy in 1870
Mr. Edison predicted that this sorm OF
communication would not be perfect
until combined with the phonograph
so that telephone messages would be
recorded automatically And now. for
ty.hye years later, when fifteen mil
lions Of conversations are carried an
ndally over the telephone wires, Mr.
Edison is ready 10 exhibit al the Pan
ama-Paclnc fair for the first time the
telescribe a combination OF the tele-
phone and dictaphone which will put
upon a cylinder for reproduction every
syllable uttered into the transmitter
A little thought will enable any one
TO realize what a revolution will be
wrought in commercial and legal af
fairs when a telephone conversation
can be proved beyond dispute as read
lly as a written document.

Sukhomlinoff saw that a weak point
In the Russian army was that too
much Of its equipment came from
abroad-a vulnerable situation in war
time. as the present shows So he
set himself busily building up arms

and al the same time established a
central laboratory where new mechan-
lsms. explosives inventions might be
tried out
lie also organized-and this gives us
the measure Of his foresight-a first
class school Of military AVIATION, and
set the best Russian mechanics at the
development and manufacture Of aero
planes, which today take the place OF
cavalry as the eyes Of the army" The
result Is that for the last four or five
years Russia has been making her own
aeroplanes and training a large stan
OF officers able TO use them. Sukhom-

HAD TO BE TAUGHT FRENCH
English Horses. in Service Of caIlie
Owners, Unable 10 Understand
Words Of Command.

A French writer tells quaint story
OF the war He says that the English
cavalry In France found themselves in
possession Of a number Of horses
which were rot found suitable for
cavalry work. By arrangements with
the French government they sold them
of 20 French peasants foT agricultural
work. The farmers were delighted:
though the horses were not adapted
for cavalry work. they were better
than they had been accustomed TO
have for farm work. But when they
came TO work them a difficulty arose.
The horses did not understand French.
When addressed with Hue" or a
"Dia'' (Which is idiomatic French
for Gee up and Way. whoa'')
they did not bulge No doubt carriers
in France. as in England. have a whole
vocabulary Of horse talk. Apart from
the starting and stopping. there are
special cries which tell the horse 10

up a particular posture when IL is
being sroomed.
Even in England these carters' and
grooms' words differ in different coun.
ties. but probably that would be no

A CHEERING SIGN

Nationwide prohibition is becoming
a popular subject for debate in our
colleges, Yale and Syracuse being the
latest to measure oratory in this field.
1t has been stated that although less
than two per cent Of the men Of Amer
lea go through college. it is from this
two per cent that the nation draws
100 of its 10, 600 leaders in all walks
OF life. Hence the awakening inter
est of young men college students in
the liquor problem is one of the many
cheering indications of the better time
near at hand. John Barleycorn' S
grip upon our universities is being
looeened and henceforward we may
look for an increasing number OF pro-
hibition leaders among college grad
yates.
