BIG MEN IN BRITISH ARMY
Ulster Volunteers Said to Hold the
Record-Soldiers of Large Stature
All From ireland.

The Ulster volunteer force, unbeat-
en- in its record of giving recruits and
money since the war began, is also
unbeaten in the record for big men.
Sergeant ]. Bryan Stewart Of the
Eleventh Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers,
thirty-two years of age, is 6 feet Az
inches in height, chest 43.45 inches
He is believed to be the biggest man
in the whole British army at home or
abroad. Though of such great stature,
he is an international water polo play
er, an old varsity Rugby man, keen
motorist and sports enthusiast. Ser
geant Stewart is an Enniskillen man
and has two brothers in the army, one
veterinary surgeon, Lieut. Charles
Stewart, serving at the front, and an
other, Lieut.. Jack Stewart, in Kitchen
er's army. Few regiments could beat
the record of the Eleventh Inniskill-
ings in the stature Of their men.
The A and B companies, which are
all drawn from Donegal and Fer
managh, have several men over six
feet.

TO BE PET OF HUMANITY
That Seems to BE the Only Future
That Can Be Seen for
the Horse.

The heavy draft horse Is doomed.
He will not vanish suddenly, but his
hour has struck. Motor vehicles al
ready are displacing him in cities.
The cheap farm tractor will do the
same in the country. In o few dec
AIDES the great, magnificent brutes will
be little more than memory. Their
places will be taken by bloodless ma
chimes, that never whinny greetings
to a kind master, never search ones
pockets for sugar-and never break
their legs on icy pavements or drag
out friendless old age under the
whips Of stupid, greedy drivers.
When one thinks of these last con-
siderations, the horseless age doesn't
seem so gloomy a prophecy. But If
man is wise, there will be no horse
less age.
IL man has any real wisdom-and
that belief, though often disappointed,
never dies-the horse will be pro-
NOTED to the position of humanitys
chief pet and plaything, but always
with substratum of usefulness which
will keep him from degenerating into
a mere toy. The draft horse, the trot-
ter-even the general purpose ami
mar'-may go, but the saddle horse
ought to stay and thrive. Just as a
medical prescription he is well worth
while, for the old English phrase that
the outside of a horse is the best
thing for the insides of man" still
holds true, and as an instructor Of
youth and mears Of real contact
with nature he has no rival but the
dog.

Photoarap Of Meteor Trail.

Perhaps the most remarkable pho.
tograph of a meteor trail that has
yet been taken is reproduced in a
recent issue of L'Astronomie. The me-
teor in question was seen from many
points in South Africa about s p. m.
on June 2, 1921. g., in broad day
Highland the trail that it left behind
it remained visible until some time
after sunset. becoming more and more
conspicuous as the daylight faded.
The photograph in question, which
shows the trail as an immense SER
pentine ribbon in the western sky,
was taken at Tempe, Orange Free
state, about an hour after the pas
sage of the meteor.

WHEN vows WERE COMMON
Age Foolish, Were Those Of
Middle Ages.

"If prosperous modern man, with
a high hat and frock coat, we're to
solemnly pledge himself before all his
clerks and friends to count the leaves
on every third tree in Holland walk,
to hop up to the city on one leg ev-
cry Thursday, to repeat the whole of
Mills Liberty 76 times, to collect 300
dandelions in fields belonging to any
one of the name of Brown, to remain
for 81 hours holding his left ear in
his right hand, to sing the names Of
all his aunts in order OF age on the
top of an omnibus, or make any such
unusual undertaking, we should i'm
mediately conclude that the man was
mad, or, as it is sometimes expressed,
was an artist in life"
So writes Gilbert X. Chesterton,
who goes on to say: "Yet these vows
are not more extraordinary than the
VOWS which in the middle ages and in
similar periods were made, not by ia
natics merely, but by the greatest fig
ures in civic and national civilization
by kings, judges, poets and priests.
One man swore to chain two mountains
together, and the great chain hung
there, it was said. for ages as a mon
ument of that mystical folly. Anoth-
er swore that he would find his way
to Jerusalem with a patch over his
eyes. and died looking for it."

RED SOX BALK
ON WESTERN PLAN
Commission May Order Play
ers to Make Trip; Terms
Unsatisfactory

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. Is. - The
final details of the worlds series we're
wound up yesterday when the play
ers of the victorious Red Sox and the
defeated Phillies received their shares
of the receipts.of the first four games.
The Pacific coast trip, which had
been planned by the National Com
mission, is likely to fall through, be-
cause the Boston players have refused
to accept the terms offered them.
The Phillies met at the ball park to
vote on the trip. The terms offered by
Robert McRoy, secretary of the Ma
tional Commission, were satisfactory
to the Phillies, and all save a few OF
Moran's men agreed to make the trip.
Secretary McRoy then called up Man
ager Bill Carrigan, of the Boston team
on the long distance phone, and was
informed that the worlds champions
had balked at the trip and would not
go unless they were guaranteed a GER
tain sum of money.
If the players refuse to make the
trip under the direction of the Ma
tional Commission and try to arrange
a trip on their own account, it is just
possible that the National Commits
sion will call everything off and with
hold permission to the teams to play
on the coast The members of the
Phillies argued all afternoon yesterday
over the trip, and were greatly dis
appointed, after agreeing to accept the
terms to learn that the Boston PLAYERS
had rejected them.

Convicts Are Set Free
to Murder ArmenianS


New York. Oct. Is. - Further evil
dence Of the atrocities inflicted by the
Turks upon the Armenians has been
given out here by the American Com
mittee on Armenian Atrocities, in the
form of a letter received from an
American professor in one of the
American colleges in Turkey.
Every one," the committee eX-
plains, familiar with the temper and
spirit of Turkey at the present time
will readily understand why his name
and more particulars as to the places
cannot be given to the public now"
The writer says that during the last
week in April the professor at his
college was arrested and imprisoned
with 25 other prominent Armenians
Later he was taken to Sivas, where he
died. On June 26 many of the promi-
nent men of the city, including Pro-
fessors Hagopian and Manasdjian,
were taken to the soldiers barracks
until the total numbered 1915.
AT place three hours distant from
the city on a lonely road leading to
Zileh all of these men were brutally
slain by the gendarmes and by men
called chettehs. Chettehs are murder
ers released from prison for the eX-
press purpose of preying on Armen-
ians."
The writer also tells of the whole
sale deportation during July of 1900
persons from that section of the city
nearest to our institutions"

Pitcher Owns Ball Until
Man Behind Bat Gets 1t
Special to The Telegraph

Newark, \. j., Oct. Is. - Calvin
McClelland, professor of possession in
law at the New Jersey Law School,
answered yesterday a question of pos
session upon which for a week some
of the brightest minos in New Jersey
have been concentrated, even to the
exclusion of the world series.
The question was: Who is in possess
sion of baseball after it has left the
hand fthe pitcher and is on its way
toward the batter? The answer given
by Professor MCClelland follows:
Possession is manifested control
over an object and present intention
to exclude others from it. The pitcher
has manifested control because, when
he throws the ball. il is his intention
10 exclude it from the batter. There
fore, the ball is in the possession of
the pitcher until the catcher gets his
hands on it."
