II Is a mistaken idea held by many
golfers that sand greens. so common
in the South, are much faster than
grass greens. A mixture OF crude
oil with the sand gives a surface
about as fast as tho average grass
green. Yet the sand greens are a
little easier TO putt on because they
are truer. The Southern greens only
become especially fast when the Sane
wears on and the clay bottom Is ex-
posed.

German Attack in Gulf of Riga
Merely Spectacular, Mean

HAD TO DO SOMETHING
Navy Gfven Exercise In Order to Keep
Their Mind Off Mutlny

by J. w. T. Mason, Written for the

.[By J. w. T. Mason. Written for the
United Press.l
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The Ger
man attack upon the little arch1.
pelago at the entrance to the gulf of
Riga is not major strategic opera
ZION, but has undoubtedly been under
taken for the purpose OF trying to
restore the confidence Of the German
people in the kaiser's mutinous navy.
Primarily the islands guard the
water approaches to Riga Their
protective value, however, has not
prevented German warships entering
the gulf on previous occasions and
the capture of Riga from the land
side this summer, destroyed the prin-
cipal defensive purpose of the archi-
pelago.
1t is highly improbable that the
Germans intend using the islands to
reach the neighboring mainland in
Esthonia, for the purpose of making
an overland advance upon Petrograd.
The distance they would have to
cover would exceed 250 miles, and to
create a new army for this adventure
would seriously deplete the German
resources.
livery reason of strategy and econ
omy is against this theory that the
capture Of Petrograd is the motive
behind the present Riga gulf opera
tions.
With the German minister of ma
rine resigning, however, and with the
position of the chancellor badly
shaken because of naval munities, the
kiser has thought necessary to at
tempt the spectacular, if meaning
less, counter action with his partly
demoralized fleet. There can be no
explanation of the assemblage of one
hundred warships to overwhelm de-
fenses. This number is far more than
can advantageously be used. This
mum ber endangers one another If
operated together. The kaiser, how
ever, unquestionably ordered an ex-
travagant concentration SO that as
many warships as possibly could
have a little exercise and be given
something to think about except
mutinies. That is probably all there
is to the operations.

STOCKHOLM, (via Londan) Sept.
29.-(by, mail)-Premier Kerensky
played fearlessly with death at the
MOSCOW democratic conference and
won by his sheer. unflinching nerve.
He stood on a platform, unarmed,
facing three drunken Cossaok officers,
red with anger and twice flung the
taunt towards" in their faces, while
the vast audience, breathless, fearfully
waited for their revolver shots to
stretch Russia's man Of the hour bleed
ing on the platform.
That they did not fire meant he had
passed the supreme test Of courage
and nerve Premier Kerensky presid-
ed at the MOSCOW conference. On tho
final night Of the meeting, group of
Cossack officers appeared as usual in
the box reserved for General Korniloff
on the left side Of the stage. Korniloff
himself was not present. The officers
who lounged in his box gave every evi-
dence of intoxication.
On the stage behind Kerensky sat
a thousand prominent Russians. Three
Of the Cossacks in the box repeatedly
interrupted speakers as the meeting
proceeded. From the stage almost di-
rectly below them Kerensky repeated
ly appealed for quiet. The Cossacks
ignored. Several speeches were inter
rupted with, wild bursts Of laughter.
Finally Cossack private, a member
Of the Soviet (Petrograd council of
workmen and soldiers) spoke. He
declared the Cossacks were democrats
and not slaves Of their Cossack mas
ters. The three officers took instant
umbrage. All arose. One shouted:
THAT sounds like German talk; no
real Cossack speaks thus"
Kerensky stood up. He looked cold
ly at the flushed faces OF the officers
and remarked acidly:
"The officer who addresses man
like that on such an occasion as this
is a coward"
Two more Cossack officers arose.
One shouted:
II agree with my fellow officer, and
we are ready to give any one satisfac-
ton. No one can call me a coward"
The three hurriedly left the box and
hastened down stairs toward the door
to the stage. Several friends follow
ed them, begging the lurching trio to
return.
Though Kerensky is carefully guard
ed at all times, none of his private SOL
dier guards dared bar the progress of
the three officers. The trio went on,
forcing guards aside. They turned
back from the stage door, went down
the aisle toward Kerensky The pre-
mier's back was turned to them.
The drunkest Of the three was not
more than twenty feet distant from
him when high officer arose from his
seat and ordered dhem back. They
had to obey. Two of the three later
in their box.
At this juncture came the usual mid
night recess of the conference. Ke-
rensky, not knowing his narrow es-
cape. passed the press tables, his face
set in stern lines, and went slowly to
