SAYS "SONG OF THE WAR"
is YET TO BE WRITTEN
Lieut.. Santelmann, Leader of Ma
rine Band, Says No Current Com
position Fills the Bill.

The present war has given to the coun-
try some good martial music, but the
war classic" that will be to this period
what "Just Before the Battle, Mother"
was to the civil war, or Hot Time" was
to the Spanish-American war, has not
yet been written, according to Lieut.. Will
liam H. Santelmann. leader of the Marine
Band.
There have been a number of good
musical compositions written in the last
few months" said the noted leader today,
"but not many of them seem to make an
Impression on the public.
"But do you think the big song of the
war has been written?" Lieut.. Santelmann
was asked.
mo, I don't believe it has," was his
reply. 'I mean that the song which will
be associated with this particular war.
OF course there is the battle song OF the
Marine Corps, From the Halls of
MontezunA to the Shores of Tripoli,"
which will always be sung. But that is
war song that belongs to every war, and
will be sung wherever the marines CO."

Eiffel Tower to Be Repainted.
spondence of the Associated Press

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PARIS. August 26.-The Eiffel Tower
is to be repainted This is a task
which will occupy about three months
and require more than 10000 pounds of
paint. The outbreak of war in 1914
postponed the work. The structure
was last painted in 1907, when a coat
of yellow ochre was applied. The Eiffel
Tower has had curious fate. Built as
an attraction for worlds fair, nearly
thirty years ago. it was condemned as
a monstrosity by those who believed
themselves inspired by purely artistic
feelings. Since the war began 1t has

Friendly Russian Troops Fire on Ger

ence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM. August ia story of
the fraternizing of the German and
Russian troops along the east front is
told by a Swedish journalist. The
usual daily visits were going on, he
says, and all was peaceful when the
Russians suddenly began firing furious
ly from one section of their trenches
A German officer ran over and called
out. Indignantly, What do you mean
by shooting with ball cartridges?"
A Russian officer explained apologet-
ically, 1.-THE colonel has just come up
for inspection, but he'll be going away
in a minute"
When the Associated Press corre-
spondent was at the front a German
major told how one of his officers was
shot through the leg while walking in
front of the trenches at a time when,
by the custom of that period. neither
side was supposed to fire. He made in
dignant representations about 1t later
to the Russians, and was told that
party of high officers had visited the
trenches and the soldiers had to shoot.
But even at that" said the major,
the fools might have fired high"

Ey making clean sweep of the series
with the Nationals and taking Thurs
days game from the Yankees, the Red
SoN could reduce the margin Chicago
now holds to two and a half games
while the White Sox are idle. Once that
close with the ComiskeyiteS due for
lengthy sojourn in the east, where on
they won. the Bostonians would be in
a fine position to make a spectacular
drive for the gonfalon.
In the four days lay-off accorded the
White Sox at this juncture many critics
profess to see an advantage for the
weSternerS. in that it will give Row
lands pitching staff well earned rest.
But it is doubtful whether several days
of idleness at this stage of the race
can be figured as beneficial to a team
that has been travelling at the pace set
recently by the White Hose. They need
competition to keep them on their met
tie and keyed up to their best efforts.
The White Sox have only sixteen
games vet to play. while the Red Sox
have twenty-three. Most of the latter
will be played at Boston. while Chicago
is touring through the eastern end or
the circuit, and seven of them are with
Grin's team. The fact that the Ma
tionals have been able to win only four
of the fifteen games played with the
Barrygans thus far would indicate that
the Sox should cop great majority of
those remaining.
The Red Sox assuredly do not lack in
centive for striving their utmost to
earn the right to meet the Giants in the
title games. for in addition to the cash
they would receive as their share OF the
receipts the club has offered a bonus of
$1,000 to every member of the team in
case 1t captures the American League

the world series. In the series between
the Giants and Red Sox in 1912 the
Boston players received si,022 as the
winners share. participating only in
the first four games. 1t Is believed that
a series between the same teams this
years would net each Redhosed war
rior close to $4,000 with an extra bonus
of 81 900 from the club for winning the
pennant. Should the Sox be beaten in
the world series the Boston players as
losers would receive approximately
$4,000. and the bonus would bring each
players earnings up to what the win
ners received last year.

LARNED HAS GREATEST
Of ALL TENNIS RECORDS
Held Place in Ranking Ten Players
for Past Nineteen Years-Mas.
ter of Court Tactics.

W A. Larned. former national tennis
champion and internationalist, who step
ped out of competitive retirement to play
for the War team against Navy recently
mas record in the net game that stands
without parallel. says William H. Hot
tel
For period OF nineteen years-from 1892
to 1911, with the single lapse of 1898.
when he was serving in the Spanish
American war-Larned held a place in the
ranking ten Of the United States.
Larned held the national singles title
seven times, 1901 and 1902 and 1907 to
1911. inclusive. This mark is tied by only
one other player, r. D. Sears, who held
the championship from 1881 to 1887, in
elusive, the record for consecutive vic
tories But Sears was only prominent in
the tennis world during his regime at the
top. and he did not face the competition
that Larned was forced to master
Started In Early.
Larned was a. semi-finalist In 1894, 1895
and 1886. and the runner-up to Malcom D.
Whitman in 1900 He also played on the
Davis cup teams in 1902, 1903, 1905, 1905.
1909 and 1911.
Larned's style of play, as shown in the
War-Navy matches. is OF the easy, grace
full, well-thought-out variety, and the
smoothness with which he handles A
racquet makes his game very deceptive. In
fact, he swings the racquet SO steadily
that it appears as II he is putting little
force behind the ball. but the man on the
other side Of the net knows differently.
He instantly picked his openings in his
last match and shot the ball through
many times for pretty placements. With
out the speed and agility of youth he
must have been well nigh invincIble in
his title days.
Depends on Tactics.
Those who saw Larned play in his hey
dey declare that r. Norris Williams End.
is almost the counterpart Of the former
titleholder. Larned, like Williams, de-
pended upon tactics and ability to play
the strokes rather than a world of speed
to carry him to the fore.
Essentially a player of strokes and a
master Of court tactics. by which he
fought for the opening and then shot the
ball through for the point, Larned is
cited as q shining example of how the
game is best played.
Williams probably displays less speed
than any of the leading stars of today,
that, than Larned has ever done. Will
liams hardly handles the racquet as
smoothly right now as does Larned. but
he has more force to his strokes. How
ever, Larned surely used more power
when in the zenith Of his career but
defeated Williams is one Of those ques-
uons that will always go unanswered
