FAR.EASTERN WAR ALMOST AS

CAIRO. MAY 2.-"Operations had to
be temporarily suspended owing to
mirage" says an official communication
from the Diala front, describing a
minor strategic movement there. 1t is
a reminder that, despite modern war
inventions, there is at least one front
where world-old conditions still play
dominating part Thirst, heat, and
mirage are among the most important
factors to be considered in far-Eastern
campaigning, just as they were twenty
centuries and more ago.
Although the why and wherefore of
the mirage is better understood now
than then, the British troops in Sinai
and Mesopotamia have frequently been
held up and mystifed by the vision of
lakes and trees, just as were the sold
icrs of Joshua or Alexander
On the occasion referred to in the
communication, the mirage was OF min

iconnaissances. On a similar occasion
some time ago, it produced the effect

OFFICERS RESERVE CORPS
MADE FINE SHOWING ON PARADE


ATLANTA. Ca, May 22.-That the
men of the Officers Reserve Corps
training school at Fort Mcpherson are
getting down to strict military dis
cipline in remarkably short time was
demonstrated by their fine showing in
the great military parade in this city
Saturday afternoon in honor of Cen
eral Wood, and was especially de-
monstrated when friends of various
prominent men in the training school
passed the grandstand.
Colonel Joe Brown Conally prom
inent society man and bon vivant of
Atlanta, was recognized and greeted
all along the line of march by friends
who tried to make him look around,
and when he passed the grandstand
where General Wood reviewed the
parade number of friends showered
him with greetings such as, ooh, you
joe" Hello there, Bub," which is one
Of his nicknames, etc.
Colonel Conally kept his eyes to the
right, which was the proper military
procedure in passing the reviewing
stand, but he never once betrayed the
slightest sign of recognizing a soul in
the grandstand. In the same way was
Eugene Kelly, another well-known and
popular Atlanta society man, made the
target for friendly remarks, and it was
somewhat harder for him because the
column paused just in front of the
grandstand. But he never looked
around.

MORE BEAN BALL
CHARGES STIRRING

NEW YORK, May 22.-The celebrat-
ed and disreputable bean ball. which
has been charged to every effective
curve ball pitcher since the day curve
ball pitching became a reality. is again
going the rounds of the two major
leagues. AS result there is surplus
OF feeling when certain clubs get to-
gether.
Carl Mays has been openly charged
with using the old weapon. Dick
Rudolph has been threatened with an
nihiliation by some hot-headed OPP
3ponents@Elmer Myers narrowly escap-
e., bat thrown by Lawton Witt, a
team mate, to whom he was pitching in
batting practice. Even Grover Alex
arder has been charged with heaving
the dangerous fast one.
George Stallings, manager of the
Braves, declares the charges flung at
his pitchers are only part of con-
certed effort to bring the Braves into
disrepute. He insists the particular
reason for these efforts is known to
him and declares there will be show
down
Grover Alexander was shocked when
some one suggested to him that he had
been using his great speed to drive bat
tiers away from the plate. He had a
novel defense of the high inside fast
one he uses occasionally.
The batter, he explains, often steps
back of the plate, standing close to
the plate. AS the ball approaches he
steps forward and often is successful
i'll meeting the ball before it breaks.
The batter, he believes, does this more
often if expecting curve ball. He ex-
presses the belief that there is only
one defense against tactics of this kind
for the pitcher, and that is to pitch the
high, fast ones inside, forcing the bat
ter to pop out or let the ball pass.
IF we passively allowed the bats
man to take that hop and smash they
might as we'll all be fast ones" he de-
clared. There are few pitchers to my
knowledge who deliberately aim at a
batter's head to drive him away from
the plate, but they have to protect
themselves. The batter is bringing
danger to himself if he persists in step
ping back and walking up on this fast
one, for when it breaks it is likely to
catch him"
Carl Mays, Dutch Leonard and other
stars have been accused of throwing
the bean ball. but it never has been
fastened on any one

POLAND HAS CHANCE
FOR AUTONOMY WITH
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK

LONDON, May 22.-The ancient king
dom of Poland just now presents the
attentive attitude of the mouse that
waits to see which way the cat will
Jump. 1t might be possible to express
the situation in a more pleasant way
but the expression is that of DR.. Leon
Litwinski, spokesman for the Poles in
London. Poland, first caught in the
mangle of the Russian advance and
German retreat, and then in the mangle
of the German advance and Russian
retreat, probably has suffered as
greatly as any country in Europe, not
including Belgium or Serbia. A mil
lion and half of her sons have been
enrolled as belligerents, 100000 in the
Russian armies and 100000 in the Ger
man and Austrian armies.
But Polands position in present
Weltpolitik is that of desperate neutral
ity. Both Germany and Russia have
promised her much. Poland wants to
cash one of those promises. OF the
two, Russia offers the more-a COM
plete independence But there is this
drawback, Dr.. Litwinski explained
Russia is promising independence to
territory occupied by German troops.
And there is more or less of string
attached to Germany's proposal, which
is completely reunited Poland with
it's own local government, under the
wing of the German Empire, somewhat
like the position of Bavaria. The string
is the unrelenting emphasis on the
suggestion that Poland raise an army
of her own against Russia.
"A reunited Poland would be greac
betterment of our before-the-War sit
uation," said DR.. Litwinski, "but what
we want, of course, is both reunited
and an independent country. We have
been immensely encouraged by the
proclamation of the new Russian gov
eminent, though previous Russian as
surances, naturally did not impress us
very much"
DO you consider that President Will
sons mention of Poland in his discus
sion of possible peace terms has had
effeot??'
"oh, colossal exclaimed DR.. Lit
winski
Colossal echoed DR.. George de
Sfeitochowski Colossal, Colossal! !"
repeated the other Poles in the room.
1T was this way" said DR.. SWEET
ochowski. There's been lit of gener-
alizing about small nations, and there
has been some mention of Belgium and
Serbia, but beyond that nobody has
ever gone. The case of Poland has
been handled very gingerly. There
has been the fear perhaps, that it
might be necessary to do lot of com
promising when it came to settle Pol
and's case. President Wilson left no
room for doubt, so far as he was con-
cerned. He declared it should be a
reunited autonomous, independent
Poland. Now We know where we've
got one real friend
Suppose it becomes an independent
Poland, will it be republic or mon
archy?"
THAT is now uncertain. Hitherto the
Foles have had in mind a new king
dom of Poland But monarchies seem
to be going out.
If our independence comes through
Russia where the democratic ideal has
taken a real hold, undoubtedly the dis
position would be to make Poland a
republic If through Germany, a linz
tied monarchy would seem most likely
unless there is a decided change in
Germany in the meantime

that he was impressed with the nee
essity for doing something. The loan
had not met with the anticipated sue
cess in Madison and Lake county
that it deserved, although the bank
ers had expended time and money
without hope OF return. He made a
motion that a committee of ten men
be appointed by the chair TO work in
conjunction and coordination with
the regular financial committee for
soliciting the sale of the bonds.
Chairman Heston put the seconded
motion to a vote, and there was no

RED CROSS DANCE
BENEFIT FOR RED CROSS ON
NEXT FRIDAY At NORMAL
GYMNASIUM.

A dance will be given Friday night
in the gymnasium of the Normal
school. the use of which is generous
ly offered by DR.. Heston, for the ben
eft of the local chapter of the Red
Cross. The chapter was organized in
Madison a week ago, and consider
able money raised for its work. But,
in preparation for permanent work
and quarters more money is needed
and this method is suggested TO
raise it.
1t is the purpose of the committee
and officers in charge of the local
chapter to obtain permanent quarters
for the chapter. In this a book will
be kept for the registration of such
visitors to the room as wish to do
nate any sum they wish, and in
which room or place it will be pos
sible for women to perform such
work as the organization desires TO
carry out. Much of the work in
other places consists of making ban
dages for the wounded.
The dance to be given Friday
night is for the purpose of forward
ing the possibility OF such work. To
this everybody Is invited, and good
music is promised by the Apollo or

REGISTRATION DAY
CITY DEMONSTRATION GIVEN Up
ALL BUSY PLANTING OR
REGISTERING.

Officials today announce that as
far as the city is concerned there
will be no parade or demonstration
on registration day. Tuesday, June 5.
The city is not in position to eXpend
money for the occasion. and nobody
feels equal to trying to get il by
popular subscription. The universal
parade intended for Memorial day
was put over on account of rain. but
there will not be any city attempt to
revive interest.
Insofar as the effect of stimulating
the registration for military duty is
concerned any demonstration will
have no effect. Every person knows
Just as well before becoming excited
that he comes within the limits of
age as he did before. And as the
registration is mandatory. and not
one of personal preference or deci-
sion, any organized demonstration
will i'm no way assist the work.
The banks this morning stated
that the day is considered as a bank
holiday. and at this time contemplate
the cessation of business on next
Tuesday. There will be no more peo-
pie i'm town on that day than on any
other election or registration day, as
they will have TO appear at their
regular voting places anyway. So
the day will be devoted to the bust
ness of getting the names before the
government rather than of celebrat-
ing. There is no probability that the
mercantile businesses of the city will
close.

Workmen are today completing the
installation of new fixtures in the
First National bank, making the in
terror of that institution one of the

The floor is of t%errazZo compost

top. When the cement has had time

down to a glass like surface by the
use of emery or carborundum on long
handles laborious process, done
by natives of Italy, experts in the
work. The color tone of the floor is
determined by the colors introduced
in the marble chips. A border about
the edge is of different colors than
the body of the floor.
Below the grill work of the coun-
ter is a high wainscoting of marble
