Davis, of San Francisco. national clay
court champion. and William M. Johnston
also of San Francisco. former national turf
champion, won their semifinal matches In
the tristate tennis championship singles

today.
Davis had little trouble In disposng OF
Ella Fottrell of San Francisco his fast
service, accurate placements and remark
able bacl5-hand play enabling him TO down
his fellow townsman in straight sets.
Johnston, on the other hand, was forced
to extend himself to win from Dean

In the first two sets was erratic. as he
continually had trouble with his service.
The first set was won by the Californian.
but not until every game save one had
gone 20 deuce a number OF times. Mathey
captured the second set more through
Johnstons errors than through any brilliant
play on his part In the two final sets
however the former champion displayed
some OF his true form, and while Mathey's
play also improved, until the match de-
veioped into the best OF the tournament
yet the smashing tactics of the Californian
proved too much for the easterner and he
was forced down to defeat.

run of them is their youth. Were

would surely have to go without.
1t is with obvious difficulty that many

the kings regulations require. 1t is
one of the curious things about this

handle their men. obtaining from them
perfect obedience. blind following and
sublime courage Some people say it
is matter of class. that the rank and

look up to the higher, and are tradi-

full officers naturally come That may
have been a good theory earlier in the
same, but it isn't now. for there are
many men in the ranks of the army of
this great democracy who from the
point of view of birth and breeding are
equal to their superior officers.
But the fact remains that the subal

responsible. And to obtain the officers
has been England's greatest problem,
just as it will be Americas IL Ameri-

of few millions of men.
At the beginning of the war England
had no more than enough officers for
an army which, compared with that
now existing. was very small. These
officers and those belonging to the ter

the militia in America, were all that
were available. with the exception of

plicated and intricate.
The writer stood and watched a few
hundred of these embryo Officers en-
gagged in a sort Of sham battle. Half a
mile across the golf course, now a ma
neuvering field, were a number of
khaki-clad men, spread out in a skir-
mish line. In bunkers near by. serving
now as trenches. were others, lying
fat. The problem of the day was for
the chaps of there to capture the
trenches. Presently they started run
short distance and then fell Nat and
began firing, with no ammunition. but
you could hear the click of the rifles
as they went through the motions.
There were number of these short
spurts, with the line constantly grow
ing shorter as the attacking force con-
verged SO as all to be close together
for the ANAL assault.
The field looked pretty fiat, but as the
attackers came to a point fifty yards
down again an officer remarked that
they were now on dead ground" which
meant ground which, on account of un-
dulation, was not visible from the
force had taken that bit of ground for
a stopping place before his final attack.
Any ordinary person would never have
known that that was dead ground"
IheSe On1cerS nave learned TO tell by a
glance. 1t is only one of the technical
things.
One would think that no one would
need any instruction on how to fall
down, but in modern warfare one does.
and between the Psychologists and the
fighters 1t has all been worked out. A
man engaged in a charge carries his
rife in his right hand. In open attack
he rushes forward for a certain dis
tance. falls on the ground, fires a few
rounds and then runs forward again.
OF course. he is constantly under fire.
A man is doubtless very glad to fall
ting shot, but there are ways and ways
of falling. Just tumbling down doesn't
do There is a regular formula. First
he goes down on his left knee and then
forward on his face, with arms fully
extended. The idea is to spread out as
fat as possible with a minimum of time
lost. man might easily fall and his
rifle go flying. This way he can hang
on to his weapon. What he does after
routine. He must learn to load his rife
in a certain way SO that he doesn't lift
his head any higher than absolutely
necessary. nor show his arms too much.
They are small things, but important
ones, when you have expert shots in the
trenches yonder taking advantage Of
every mistake.
The school Is known as Blanks Cadet
Unit, taking its name from one of the
most famous British regiments, which,
on account of the character of its per-
sonnel, is now devoted to supplying
