Alexander'll Have a Hard Job
1t does not take much to start dis
cussion a paragraph in which Norman
maxwell was quoted as saying that the
hahsuowne course called for better golf
than Bala Is responsible for the latest one
Albert Alexander is a six-stroke man al
Bala and he Is fairly familiar with the
course at L.ansdowne. Aleck SAYS he Is
wiiIlns 10 wager that he can make round
lour strokes less on l.ansdowne than at
pdld Inc remark was made in the pres
ence OF several Lansdowne men. and. being
loyal, they said he could do nothing Of the
sort.
TO explain Maxwell's remarks, it might
ne SAID that lie believes that the ball has a
petter chance at Lansdowne. HIS chief
criticism of the Bala course is the break
the ball gets after the tee shots. If il
breaks right it will shoot toward the green
but II II does not it spells trouble This is
particularly true of long shot on the
second and seventh holes. II your tee shots
break well, everything is lovely: but il
they do not. then look out for trouble
Aleck IS a good player and he has beaten
some OF the best men in Philadelphia, but
few will agree with him that Baa is four
strokes harder than Lansdowne II he can
shoot under so at Bala---and that is what
he can usually dot is safe to say that
he cannot get from az to IS over the
Lansdowne course. OF course the test
ought to be made when he is in his best
golfing form. If he is inclined to be erratic
there IS no opportunity to try his SUCCESS
ton In the meantime the Lansdowne links
are his for the test at any time that may
suit his time and convenience.

Columbia Hospital Doctor Writes
from Dugout Between Lines.

The consensus OF opinion on the
| front in France Is that the Germans
will be done for by the end of next
summer, according to a graphic let
ter received by J. NJ. Abbott, of this
city, from Lieut.. Howard F. Kane,
medical Reserve Corps, of the United
States army, formerly a physician in
Columbia Hospital, Washington.
After describing the way in which
the British officers received the Amer
ican medicos as comrades and made
| them feel Immediately at home in
their billets only three miles behind
the first-line trenches, Kanes letter
goes on to say:
Its wonderful up here, living in
tents and getting fat and husky. I'm
eating lot of things 1 wouldn't touch
at home, and We get plenty of ev-
erything. At present I'm on duty at
an advanced dressing station, living in
a dugout way underground.
Safe in Dugeut.
'I really have quite a safe place,
when we are working. We're well
protected. Today couldn't get back
| to the hospital II I wanted to, un-
less, of course, It were absolutely
necessary, because the Germans are
shelling a village between the two
places.
They're butting about 400 yards
away. We are in front of our own
big guns, so shells go over our heads
in both directions. Last night there
was a bombardment for an hour or
so when the roar of the guns was alb
soldtely continuous.
, "The other day two OF us took a
trip through the trenches. 1t was aw-
fully interesting. Everything In this
war Is figured so accurately that
there's almost no danger of getting
hurt II you don't have to go into an
attack or stick by a gun that's being
shelled. Even though shells are fall
ing less than a quarter of a mile
away, know they won't get me-"

Twentieth Century Maids" in their
burlesqus comedy entitled 20. X. and

The fun-puncher, Jim Barton, in his
original role as hobo comedian, was
backed by a grille whirl of music and
mCrrimcnt which was staged in two
acts and six scenes.

entertained with his originality. but
also with several dances in which
he manipulated his feet and legs to
such an extent that after several calls
he was forced to tell his audience
that Il they wanted more they would
have TO come back latter in the week.
The Twentieth Century Maids is a
new show this season, as Barton is
the only old fun-maker with the
troupe. The show stands out from
most other burlesqUes with its all
round comedy and exceedingly bril-
liant chorus Of clever girls. A plot,
II II can be called one, is the trailing
OF lost government papers to the four
corners Of the globe. but 1t affords
chances for the cOmTa any to give forth

his arrest a simple matter.
Brown had visited the home of
James Fleming frequently. Several
articles were missed and suspicion
pointed to him. He gathered with

exhibited a pair Of handouts he had
purchased.
Simple, just like this" said Brown,
and he accidentally locked them.
Wen call the police to unlock
them for you," said Mrs. Fleming.
Fine, thanks answered Brown
jovially.
