Numerous orders for American
goods, some of them in the nature OF
trial orders that will probably lead to
increased trade later, ERE placed dur
ing the December quarter by Bradford
importers as the result of TRADE OPP

Commerce Reports of the Depart
ment of Commerce. One of the trial
orders called for three machines for

LYRIC

Next Monday, at the Lyric, Cecil
Spooner will produce for the first
time on any stage, a four act char
acter INpmedy dramas written by Flea
nor Maude Crane, under the odd
title of sAshes'' Miss Spooner is to
create this part and ashes" will
have its premiere here at the Lyric
Ashes, is a real drama of realistic
New York life, which directly hits the
heartstrings of every intelligently
thinking man or woman, as it is pure
" human, and deals with all sorts Of
people, including the fashion leaders
and those jewellers of the East Side
tenement district, where poverty's
tears ebb and flow. The story or the
play deals with the finding of a
Founding in the s1ums of the lower
East Side, in which the central figure
is that of Ashes her only known
name, and which part will be created
by Miss Spooner. Ashes is de-
scribed as an exact counterpart OF
peg O. My Heart" and will be pro-
duced under the direction of T. Dam
iel Frawley, who is the original pro-
Queer of peg o. My Heart"
There will be numerous additions to
the cast of Ashes as it is a big
play, and calls for an extra number of
types of character, just such as are
met with in every metropolitan and
COSMOPOLITAN city.

could get deserved promotion,

could get deserved promotion. But
chances for advancement have always
been uncertain, dependent on MANY
conditions other than merit. The reg
ular grind of the work with short
hours appeals to a great many who
have not succeeded very well in other
lines, or who have few gifts for orig
mating their own ideas. They follow
beaten tracks, which finally become
set in vast labyrinth of red tape,
destructive of prompt efficiency The
enlargement of the governments
scientific work, and the protection
given tenure Of Office by civil service
rules, has no doubt attracted of late
a somewhat better type of men.
The clerks have usually opposed
proposals to increase their working
day. Their attitude indicates that
there are still grave faults in the SER
vice. If the clerks were stimulated
by a wholesome ambition, or if condi-
tons were such that an ambitious and
efficient man could get the promotion
he deserves, the clerks would not be
worrying about an eight ?hour day.

DU POINT NOT SEEKING
THE PRESIDENCY, BUT

New York, March 17-Gen. T
Coleman du Pont is not seeking the
Presidency, has not consented to the
use of his name in any State pri-
mary and has no political ambitions
but
A friend of the Delaware manu-
facturer said yesterday that if the
Republican party were to offer him
the nomination it would be an honor
that no man should refuse.
A despatch from Washington yes
terday set forth thai there was
much interest there in the progress
of the boom for Gen, du Pont as a
business mans candidate The
boom was not making much noise,
but several ski11ful men were doing
some earnest missionary work on the
line of a second choice" it was said
Gen. du Pont yesterday dictated a
statement to his secretary in which
he said he had received many letters
from all over the country asking him
to run. 1.-The only way I can ac-
count for this he said, sis that all
my life has been devoted to construc-
tive work. I have taken a great in
terest in good roads and belong to
many associations and. agricultural
societies and that may explain the
kindly suggestions"
The friend of Gen. du Pont, who
woul don't permit his name to be used,
said the boom had come wholly as a
surprise to the Delaware man.
Because of the exceedingly unset
tied situation Gen. du Pont did not
care to outline any principles or poll
cies. j.
what will the weather be April
26?" he asked with a laugh. Plat
forms, he said, will be left to con-
ventions, and as for issues with the
Democrats in the campaign he had
not given them a thought.

THE LIFE OF
GOVERNMENT CLERKS

Quite a stirring of the dry bones is
reported from Washington Some
pernicious1y active Congressman has
actually proposed that the government
clerks work eight hours a day instead
of seven. This would be dreadful 1t
would interfere with the sacred GUS
tom of 5 o'clock tea. Congressman
Griffin Of New York seemed to sense
more keenly the spirit of the age. A
six-hour day is coming in the depart
ments, he said.
The country a whole has never
been able to understand why the
clerks could work but seven hours. It
is shorter than the usual schedule in
private business.
To hear Washington people talk,
one would think the clerks a misun-
derstood and abused class of people.
They are represented as grubbing out
their lives in arduous service that is
not appreciated and is but poorly paid.
The government service has never
attracted a brilliant class of men. It
is an honorable career, and conditions
should be such that an active man

NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL
DESCENDANT OF FAMOUS
STAGE STAR, MAGREADY

London, March 17-Sir F. N. Mac
ready, who has just been appointed
Adjutant General of the British army
with a, seat on the War Council, is a
descendant of the famous actor Mac
ready. In appearance he is soIdierIy,
with one ear severely mutiIated from
wound. His brown moustache is
just beginning to turn gray. In man
ner he is bluff but sincere. He has
the carriage of the Scotch soldier,
and it was in the Gordon Highland
ers that he obtained his regimental
experience.
General Macready has been brought
back from the front to be a pillar
in the scheme of drastic reorganiza-
ton of British army control which is
being quietly put into effect by Sir
William Robertson, the new chief of
staff. He was. well known to the Bri-
fish public before the war as the SOL
der to whom was entrusted the diff
cult task of controlling the big labor
outbreaks in Liverpool and Manches-
ter. When the crisis in Ulster was
at its worst he was called on to take
a post as chief resident magistrate in
the disturbed district.
The G neral has reputation as a
wit, and was credited with a, widely
circulated jest some months ago,
when there was a good deal of talk
in army circles about the delay in
the appearance of Kitchener's So
called new army at the front. Ac-
cording to the story, MacreadY one
evening while at dinner at British
headquarters at ST. Omar put the
question: (Which of the great neu-
trail Powers do you think will join
in first-ItaIy or Kitchener's army ?''

YQnkS Beaten Twice
s. by David Davenport
One Pitcher Takes Double
Header from Cripples
at St. Louis.

St. Louis, July 29.-Dave Davenport,
the giant pitcher of the St. Louis
Browns, matched the power and cum
ming Of his good right arm against the
New York Yankees here this afternoon,
and won a remarkable victory. lie
turned the invaders from the great
metropolis Of the East back in both
games OF a double header, giving them
only four hits in the first game. Had
the Boston Red Sox flashed any Of the
power which is theirs, Davenport would
have hurled the Yankees out Of first
place, but Boston lost two games to
Detroit, and the Yankees hold the lead.
The scores here were to l and to 2,
respectively.
There was no soft spot in the after
noon of sport for Davenport. lie was
called upon to match mis- skill against
Ray Caldwell in the opening battle, and
for eight innings the slim New Yorker
had a bit the better of the night, Tor
he led by score OF to 0. But Cad
well wilted under the oppressive heat
in the last half of the eighth inning
and allowed enough hits along with
base on balls to produce the three runs
which were necessary. In the second
game the Yankees got of TO one-run
lead in tho third inning, but Allan
Russell, who has been pitching remark
able ball of late, could not time the
break on his splitter 10 avoid the lunge
Of the bats, and the home team drove
on ahead to victory.
II Davenport was effective in the
first game ne lost none of his strength
and skill in the second. Found for
only four hits in the opening en-
counter, he came right back and let
hi. opponents down with FIVE in the
final, and, not content with merely
fighting a defensive battle, he sprang
into additional prominence by lscing
out two-base hit. Bert Shotten got
another double, but Bert is the sort
of chap who does those things and no
one ever thinks Of il.
After the visitors scored their run in
the third frame, Dave swept along
furiously until the ninth, when he be
came magn nimous for a moment and
permitted o.e more run to cross the
plate.
Caldwell and Russell did their best,
but it was not good enough. The for
mer doled out half dozen hits in his
game. and, as told previously, had a
lead Of one run up until the eighth
frame. when the heat got him. Russell
WAS even more parsimonious than his
taller team mate and he allowed only
five. II was just one of those days
when Davenport could not be beaten.
and he swept along mercilessly. cheered
by the crowd at the end OF each inning
This has been a banner week for
New-York tribune., 1916-07-30

II was in TIE seventh inning that the
Reds scored their two runs, and then
Jeff saw 10 it that they went no
further. He had 70 strike out man
here and there, but he did 1t.
Lew Mccarthy. who has been with
the team several seasons without really
getting the chance TO prove his value,
has developed into a star. Just now he
is leading the National League hitters
and is playing q great game behind tho
bat. He got couple OF hits yester-
day, driving home one run, and ms
defensive work was OF the best he
cut down every adventurous runner
and was over behind first base on every
throw Of a grounder.
Hal Chase is still the peer OF the
first basemen. His work on Johnstont
grounder. which he turned into Q
double play in the eighth inning OF tht
first game with 0'Mara on first base
was most brilliant. Cbsse is playins
with a bad charley l. rse and was
forced TO retire in the second game.
He hurt his leg In Boston five weeks
ago. but refused &c get out Of the
game.
Frank Emmer, who got his chance
to shine when Herzog was traded,
rlayed j brilliant game. Ivy Olson also
did well for the Robins IN the short
field
