They were lonnging and chatting as they waited In a glance every one iden- and the white dropping n1ustarhe will the pictures they had seen in She pa pers. There was no need for call to attention. The effect was like an electric shock which sent every man to his place and made his backbone a steel rod. Does Sir John French often slip up on you that way =, gasped one of the battery Heut1n- ants, who was all of nineteen years old The battery had just come out from England. It took the com mander in chief about five minutes to form his judgment of the results Of their nine months preparatory drill. He asked 8 few questions as he looked over each gun and it's crew. Very goodY' he said, and returned to his car. which was to take him on to 1n- spect some other formation. Any idea that the commander in schter spends all his time over a map with a telephone at his elbow" as the stan officer explained, ''is quite erroneous. He is always on the go.'

Pupils of Bryant
 School Can't Sit

Many pupils are being held out of the Bryant and Read schools owing to delay in getting seats into the rooms, It Is estimated that between 60 and 70 pupils of the Bryant school can get no instruction at the Bryant school, while a still larger number that should be attending the Read school are on half time at the Island Brook and Shelton schools.
 The Bryant school has a new addi- tion containing four rooms. These were completed by the contractors be- fore the opening of school, but lack the necessary furniture.
 The Read school is a new one and similar conditions prevail. At the of fees of t..e Board of Education today it was said that every effort was be- ing made to hasten delivery of the fur niture but that contractors, rather than the board, are responsible for the delay.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 14-News of the dispatch of two troops of cavalry to Fort Mcintosh, near Laredo, was received. here today and gave rise to further belief that American armies will soon find it necessary to estab- fish more strict regulations governing passage between Mexico and this country along the lower part of the Rio Grande.
 Women and children are allowed, in most eases, unquestioned freedom in crossing the river, but males old enough to bear arms are allowed to pass only rigid examination.

he was nailed at the plate, when, II
Morgan had remained at second, Gan

In the second inning McBrides hit,
Bancroft's poor throw and Moeller's
hit gave the Nationals what proved to
be their final run.
It was not until the third that tho
Phillies scored. a double by Luderus
and single by Burns giving them a
tally. They rested on their oars until
the seventh, when Bentley grew wild.
He walked Cravath and Whitted. and
after Niehof had sent a long fly to
center Cravath went to third.
Luderus bounded the ball to Bent

home and third. But in the run-up
Foster dropped the ball and Cravath
scored. while second and third were
still occupied. Burns came through
with hit, and the two runs came
home, giving the visitors a lead of
