GEN. PERsnINo TO COMMAND

Two important announcements were
made at WashIngt on yesterday.
General John J. Pershing will lead n
division OF American troops. to France
and Theodore Roosevelt will not raise
an evolutionary army to send abroad
We assume that al good Americans
viii ACCEPT these decisions without
criticism. There can be no question
as to the Qualifications Of General
Pershing. He is a tried soldier, pos
sessed of the solid qualities OF lea der
ship. He has brilliant record of
achievement in the Philippines. AS
the commander Of the punitive expedi-
ton into Mexico. he again proved his
worth.
The governments refusal to permit
Colonel Roosevelt to raise an expedi-
tionary army for service abroad
should be accepted by the people as a
well grounded decision. The general
starr was opposed to 1t from the start.
It could hardly be expected that the
president would override the unan-
nous opinion Of his military advisers
even II he were so inclined.
Colonel Roosevelt is n patriot and
has been a soldier. He will accept the
decision like a soldier. He will find
talents and his followers who are
Iualified will have no difficulty in
finding service in the army.
No patriot Will disturb or cmbar-
rass the administration in the per-
Torrance of the great work in hand

FOOT FAULT RULE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

The revised tennis foot fault rule as promulgated by the National associa tion has, in the opinion of expert players and tennis authorities. cleared away much of the uncertainty re- garding the meaning and enforcement of this regulation. According to the latest code, service is delivered the instant the bail and racquet come into contact; it is a hop or jump if both feet are off the ground at the same time; the grounded foot may be turned or twisted in any manner without vio- lating the rule, provided it does not leave the ground.
 After preparing to serve there must be no movement of the foot that can be construed as a step but no step can be said to be completed until the foot is replaced upon the ground. The server must come to a complete stop before serving the ball and both feet must be behind the line; furthermore one foot must remain upon the ground until the ball is hit by the racquet. The racquet and any portion of the body other than the feet may, how ever. cross the line before the ball is hit
