the country to his rink and has chal-
lenged the Washington roller experts

local rink. 1t Is his intention to
match every Washington racer with
the Marvel in hopes of establishing
some tangible classification of the
Washington talent
The times or each skater who COM
petes with the Masked Marvel Will be
recorded and those who either defeat
him or give him a close race will be
classified accordingly. Whiting claims
that his newcomer Is one of the best
in the country and that II his real
name were to be revealed the skating
public would recognize It In a moment.

BILE roller stars who are expected TO
respond to the challenge OF the Mar
vel. Included In them are Carroll Dom
nelly. Billy Engel. Willie Whiting.

HALF PREPAREDNESS
DANGEROUS, HE SAYS
Woman's Peace Party Addressed
by Norman B. Angel.

Half preparedness Is dangerous, the
members Of the Woman's Peace party
were told by Norman b. Angel at the
Poll Theater yesterday.
Armies and navies defend a policy and
not territory. he said, aud II the
American policy of democracy is to be
defended. there must be adequate pre-
paredness for such defense.
Incomplete preparedness is more dan
gerous than no preparedness at all, he
declared. War. he said. Is one of the
possibilities Of tho near future for
America.
Congressman Heating of Colorado de-
clared the United States could not raise
a big standing army under present con-
ditlons. as Americas youth will not
enlist WAS the army Is more demo-
cratized. Mr.. Keating said he was not
opposed to preparedness, but opposes
imperialism.
Mrs. Louis F. Post presided and made
a short speech. An address was also
made by Mrs. Jessie Harding MacKaye,
and Mrs. Florence Keefer sang.

Quaker City Clubs
To Join association
That's What's Expected When Mid
die Atlantic Golfers Meet
Here Thursday.

The annual meeting Of the Medic At
lantic Golf Association will be neld on
Thursday. and 1t is expected that sew
eral Philadelphia clubs will make appli-
cation for membership In the associa-
ton, which has hitherto confined its
membership to golf clubs located in
Maryland. Delaware. Virginia. and the
District OF Columbia.
Excelled only by New York and Chi
cago, Philadelphia stands third on the
list of cities with numerous nearby
links, and 1t Is probable that II the
first step is taken BY several clubs in
joining this association the remaining
clubs will fall in line and the whole
State will furnish new members.
The Quaker City clubs discussed join
ing the association some time ago, but
no definite action was taken. Repre-
sentatives OF the Philadelphia clubs will
attend the coming meeting, when the
proposition will be thoroughly dis
cussed and definitely settled.
The other members would welcome
the addition OF the Pennsylvania clubs,
as their advent would bring many more
entries TO the annual tournament, which
of late years has had only a small field.
Baltimore would be the first city to
benefit by the influx OF the new mem
bers, for this years tournament will
be held on the links or the Baltimore
Country Club. Each club has a turn

Aggies' Baseball
Stars Out Today
Large Squad Expected to Report
for Berths on M. A. G.
Nine.

Coach Curiey Byrd will take his
Maryland Aggie baseball candidates out
for practice on the campus today for the
FIRST time. The Farmers realize that
unless they get down to work in short
order they will not be in condition by
the FIRST game.
The men have been tossing the ball
about indoors. but they have no ade-
quate facilities for real profitable in
door training and are eager to get out
as soon as possible. 1t Is not known
exactly how many aspirants will report
for practice, but II il thought that the
squad will be by far the largest that
ever tried for an Aggie nine.
Among the men who will likely form
the nucleus around which the team will
be built are Taylor. Chichester, Derrick,
McHenry. Oberlin. Dearstyne, Rnode,
Donovan. Bopst. Perkins, Siegert, Ar
thur: Roger. Shank. Morningway and
Montgomery.

CHAPTER II.
CorYdon.

A short days march north Of the
broad current Of the Ohio, at the point
where two rapid creeks-Big Indian
and Little Indlan--unite, stood clus-
ter of thirty or forty cabins. The logs
that made the walls of the oldest of
them had been growing in the virgin
forest three years before. In the
center Of the village was a grassy
square. In it new stone house, forty
feet square, its walls, two and one-half
feet thick, its roof still incomplete,
stood in the shadow of the forest trees
which had been left standing around 1t.
From the little settlement the prime
val forest stretched away to the sand
dunes Of the Great Lakes, to the hills
of the Ohio, to the prairies of the nli-
nois country, vast tract Of hundred
thousand square miles in extent; ST.
lent, inhabited only by savage beast
and more savage redskinned hunter;
painless, dreadful, fascinating.
The settlement was Corydon; the
stone house the building which was to
be the first capitol of the territory and
the state hewn from the virgin woods.
Louisville, with 1900 inhabitants, 20
miles to the east; Vincennes, the Old
Post, with less than a thousand, 80
miles to the northwest; other than
these, no settlement of any size In all
that savage empire, large as England
herself.
Hither came all the picturesque fig
ures of the new West. First to come
was the patriarch, Squire Boone,
brother of Daniel Boone, the mighty
hunter of Kentucky; then Lane, the
Penningtons, the Spencers, George
and Spier, the popularity of the latter
giving rise to the old couplet:
'Mongst all the -Boones thar's Jest one
Squire;
'Aiongst all the spencers jest one
Spier.
