that the match following is being held back.
lie never stands close to or directly be-
nina the ball, nor moves nor talks when
player is making a stroke on the putting
green he does not stand beyond the hole
IN the line of players stroke.
The real golfer, likewise, allows the
player who has the honor to play before
teeing his own ball. He does not play
from the tee until the party in front have
played their second strokes and are out
OF range, nor does he play up to the putting
green until the party in front have holed
out and moved away.
He replaces and presses down the turf he
may have cut or displaced; he carefully
fills up all holes made by himself in a
bunker, and he sees to it that his caddie
does not injure the holes by standing close
to them when the green is soft.
When he incurs a penalty stroke he inti-
mates the fact to his opponent as soon as
possible.
The real golfer will do everything to help
relieve the congestion of the course. He
Will keep up with the match ahead or give
way to the match behind. If the match
ahead is not keeping it's place and is hold
Ing him back and causing him to hold back
others, he will politely call the attention Of
the match ahead to this fact and request
permission to go through.
The real golfer never resents having his
attention called to the fact that he is not
holding his place the course Neither
does he resent being requested to allow a
match to go through, either for this reason
or because Of a lost ball. He will anticipate
the request and insist that the match pass
through.
After ALL the real golfer is Just a gentle
man who has the greatest consideration for
his fellow players.

1t may pull the wool over the eyes of
America, Professor Samuel N. Harper

"The German government may stage
this fake revolution, SO that 1t NAV
turn to America and say, You said
you had pc quarrel with the German
people but with the German govern
ment. Now the German people have
gained control of the German govern
ment, and there is nothing left for you
but peace
Russia knows German intrigue, and
l know there is no possibility of Ger
man intrigue winning separate Rus
sian peace. But I am not sure about
America, because the American peo-
pie as q whole do not understand

Into Confidence as Fully
as Possible.

Washington, April 16.-Sensa-
tional ramifications of German So
cret service activities in the Unit
ed States may soon be laid in full
est account before the American
public.
Creation Of the public informa-
ton bureau, to facilitate dissemIn-
alton of government news, has sig
nalized a growing sentiment among
high administration sources to
take the people as completely into
the confidence Of the government
as possible.
One of the first moves of full
publicity advocates, 1t became
known today. will be a strong ef-
fort to open up certain archives of
the state department dealing with
the German espionage.
George Creel, newly appointed
head of the public information
bureau, arrived in Washington to-
day. conferred with newspaper men
over operation of the new publi-
city policy and later met with
Secretaries Lansing, Daniels and
Baker.
Everything points to q policy
exactly the reverse of the strict
military censorship of Great Brit
ain, which so dissatisfied the
British public and press.
