USE ROAD MAKERS
 TO ADVANCE ARMY

Behind the British Lilies in France, June 16-A considerable share in the success and rapidity with which the British armies were able this spring to follow up the Germans as they fell back from the Somme and Arras bat tlefields is officially attributed to the building by the British of innumerable military roads which have been com pleted on the heels of the German retreat.
 The officer principally responsible for maintaining this branch of com munications, under the direction of Sir Eric Geddes, the Deputy Director General of Munitions Supply, is Brig adier-Genera1 H. P. Maybury, whose official title is Manager and Chief Engineer of the Army Roads Board. He is in command of an army of roadmakers recruited from towns and villages in Great Britain where they we're engaged in similar work. Their number now runs we'll into five figures. These men, although almost without regular army training, are all organ ized in regiments with officers on the regular army model and are equipped with modern plants and the<best ma terial.

myself which would have been worth a good deal to me. What was do- ing was .ally pitching an emery bah. It was the same idea that Russell Ford later used so effectively, an idea which made him a successful litcher for good many seasons. Ford, however, made an exact study Of the thing and reduced it to a science. He made good use of the idea and it was only when he was about through as pitcher that the secret leaked out, became common property, and was abolished by all the leagues.
 'I never used the idea in such 3 thorough way as Ford did. I would hit the ball on my spikes once in D while to get a sharp break ons b curve. But I never put enough thought into the thing to figure out just why the ball would break so we'll Why didn't I do this. Simple. didn't have sense, enough.
 'tThe idea, if had made the best use of it, would have made me a more successful pitcher than I was and no doubt. would have added a good dIeal to my reputation and to the amount of money I got out of the game. I had a gold mine and didn't have intelligence enough to work it.
 '-'I don't blame a pitcher for using all the tricks that the law allows. When was a pitcher did the same and I would do the same over again. But that isn't the point. I can see now that such things as the emery ball which l first used and the spit ball which was logical outcome of the emery ball, are bad for the game. The emery ball has been abolished and everybody agreed that it was rightly abolished. But why diserir1l- mate against the emery ball and a1- low the spit ball which is worked on the same general principle. ta re- m1A<e #

FAMOUS HYMNS

Eighty-four years ago today one of the. most famous hymns in the Eng fish language was written by John Newman, afterward Cardinal New man. That hymn is Lead, Kindly Light" familiar to millions through out the world. This great hymn was written under most unusual circum- stances. Newman, i'll with fever and greatly depressed in mind was be- calmed in an orange boat on the Med iterranean, in sight of the house of Garibaldi on the Island of Caprera- In later years. speaking of the cir cumstances, he said: My servant thought was dying. and begged for
 my last directions. I gave them as he wished, but I said T shall not die, for I have not sinned against the light, T have not sinned against the light I never have been able to make out all what I meant" His con dition was unchanged on June 16, 1883, when, lying in a little boat, he composed the beautiful hymn. Per- haps the shore lights of Caprera played upon his fevered imagination for they led his boat safely back to the shore and soon afterward he re- turned to England. The mental dark ness with which he had been strug- ghng also cleared for him. for it was just after his return that the Oxford movement began. He was leader in that movement until he went over to the Roman Catholic church in 1845.

THE BATTLE OF
 BUNKER HILL

This day is the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the first great encounter of the American Revolution. While the battle proper was really fought on June IT, 1775, the military movements that led to it were made the proceeding night, that is, the night of June 16. This first clash of arms took place on Breeds Hill, in Charlestown, now a part of Greater Boston. Charlestown has two eminences, Breeds Hill being one, Bunker Hill being the other It is carious to note how history will sometimes play fast and loose with names, for the, battle was actually fought on Breeds Hill, but history records it as the Battle of Bunker Hill. When Gen. Gage, in command of the British forces, was planning an attack on the revolutionary forces about Boston, the latter anticipated his movements by making earth worths on Breeds Hill, in mistake for Bunker Hill, on the night of the six teenth. Gen. Cages forces were re- pulsed with considerable loss by the colonial forces until the powder of the latter gave out, when they were fore ed to retreat, retiring by way of Bunker Hill and Charlestown Neck. Lord Howe, the British officer inn mediately in command, was a. com potent leader, but he made, the mis- take of understanding the determin- atfon of the revohut1onists and tried to take Breeds Hill by assault. The military error of Howe was repeated by many other British officers who did not realize the zeal of the CO., lonials.

PORTUGAL NOW
 FEELS FOOD PINCH

Lisbon, Portugal, June 16-The war has reached Portugal in earnest and drastic measures are being put into effect by the government to ensure bread for the people Confectionery and cake no longer can be sold. All persons possessing supplies of flour are required to inform the authorities of the amount they own.
 Corn bread is being made to eke out the scanty supply of wheat flour and acorn flour and other substitutes are being utilized.
 The Lisbon streets, like those of London, now are in darkness after nightfall, as the gas factories have ceased operation. Electric street cars now are operated only up to Il p. m. The difficulty of obtaining public con- veyances after that hour is causing great losses to theatres and night clubs.
 Imported coal has become an un- known quantity and the national brown coal, lignites. is being used for domestic purposes. Warning has been given that unless it becomes possible to import coal, the use of electricity as motive power must be discontinued.

ABOLISH SETTER SAYS GRIFFITH OF WASHINGTON TEAM

Lets abolish the spit ball. says Clark Griffith in the Baseball Maga- zine for July. S'tIt is one thing which has crept into baseball in fair ly modern times which hasn't bettered the game. It ought to be prohibited for all time to come.
 'In making this severe charge against the wet delivery I realize that am in a measure responsible for the spit ball. It is true that I never used it myself as it is used today. But I guess was the first pitcher to ,em- ploy the principle which makes the spit ball so effective. This principle in brief is that where one side of the ball is smoother than the other the ball can be released from the pitch CTS hand in such a way as to com pletely alter it's proper -~tation as It shoots through the air. And the altering of this rotation is what gives the ball its peculiar break as it ducks across the plate.
 Now the spit ball pitcher accom- plishes this end by 'wetting one side of the ball so that it sli.s away from under his fingers with the least pos sibIe friction. The same result could be accomplished ill general way by roughening one side of the ball. For the principle would be the same. That is, one side of the btl would be smoother than the oth- CT.
 This is precisely what I used to do. I had a habit as far back as I can remember, of hitting the ball onsthe spikes of my shoe before I started to pitch. At first I think it was noth- ing more than a habit, just as some pitchers are always hitching up their belts or shifting their caps. But af- ter a while I noticed that when l had ss6rred one side. of a new ball with my spikes it would break a. good deal better when it crossed the plate.
 And right here is where I made a big mistake. I had 8 secret all to
