CAPITAL GUARDS TRAMP
in DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
Protecting Approaches and Aqueduct
an Uncomfortable Task.

Squad after squad of rain-soaked col
ored troopers fiocked to their quarters
last night after a tortuous, rain-swept
day Of guarding the railway approaches
to the Capital and the long stretch of
Conduit road above the aqueduot that
supplies Washington with water.
Capt Charles @. Harvey, of the cavalry
arm OF the army, newly appointed pro-
vost marshal Of the District, told a Her
aid reporter at the Officers Club at Fort
Myer last night something of the mag
nitude of his new task. Capt. Harvey
spent the day yesterday in a motorcar
going from point to point about the city
where his colored troops are on duty.
So far guard duty In the District Is
comparatively limited to what it would
be in actual war time, but down in Po-
tomac Park, at the approaches of the
big railway span, guards with loaded
guns patrol the structures to prevent
some act that might block washington's s
railway traffic to the South. Out on the
Conduit road the troopers tramped up
and down in a driving rain, each watch
ing his own separate portion of the
aqueduct route.
The four companies Of the First Sep
arate Battalion (colored) n. G. d. c.,
have been detailed to this work under
the orders of Capt. Harvey. This guard
is considered sufficient at the present
time, but the first hint of an attempted
outbreak would heavily increase the
guard.
From purely sentimental reasons, II
was pointed out, the protection Of the
National Capital Is a matter OF deep i'm
portance, but its military value is
nothing like the value Of a great manu-
featuring center. This guard over the
bridges anr aqueduct will be continued
indefinitely, It was said.

himself to Chief Yeoman ]. J. o'Brien.
II want to be veterinarian"
Chief Yeoman o'Brien was momen-
tarily staggered by the strangers sud
den announcement. Then he surveyed
the stranger from head to foot. He
didn't argue and he didn't draw q dia-
gram, but what he told the stranger
showed some one somewhere in our city
today that
They don't need veterinarians in the
navy.
And that before Mr.. Recruit gets it in
his head he wants to help in this serious
business Of fighting for his country, a
little forethought would be wise.
Little Thought Needed.
There IL no reflection meant on the
willingness Of Mr. Stranger to be q true
patriot, said Chief OBrien. It's to his
credit that he wanted to help, even II
he didn't consider that they don't ride
horses aboard ship.
but what dpplleS 10 Mr. stranger ap-
plies to many would-be rockies, the sea-
tanned vet told his interviewer.
I'VE have a good deal OF trouble with
the ladies. though, bless 'em, we're al
ways glad to have them show interest"
he continued. THE sweet young things
flock in here in punches and they want
to be yeowomen.
Don't Have to Shoot Bows.
''T'hen thew a six IIs ~ thav have IN shoof

read about in the story books OF the
Middle Ages. And we smile and tell 'em
politely that II they'll stay at home and
bear with US while We fight for Uncle
Sam they won't have to face the fire at
all. And, furthermore, that this yeo-
woman business is not in our line, but
is being handled by the Naval Reserve
Corps. We don't like to disappoint 'em.
Of course. but we're trying to get as
many fighting men around this city as
possible, and wien we have to answer
foolish questions most Of the time 1t
hinders our getting along. It oughtn't
be hard for lots OF people to see that"

JERUSALEM MAY SOON
Be CHRISTIAN AGAIN
English Approaching Historic City
Under Moslem Rule.
nntern.ti..al, New. serxieel

NInLtEn8At088AH 1tG"s oGENACCsy
New York, April 4-Once more the
gaze Of the world is focused on the
city of Jerusalem-that citadel on a
rock which has stood for Jew, Chris
tian and Moslem as q city of holiness.
From At least 1000 b. C. It has been
striven for by representatives OF these
three great religions. The present
probable siege and attack by English
forces win make but one more chap
ter in history already filled with ac-
counts OF battles, sieges and political
intrigues which have resulted in con-
tfnuous change OF government and
form Of rule.
It has been estimated that Jerusalem
has been taken by invading hosts
sixty-seyen times.
The earliest writt-s account Of a
siege is contained in stone tablets
discovered recently in Tell-el-Amarna.
In Egypt, in describing the distress OF
Add Khiba, King of Jerusalem, at the
coming of q desert horde-the Hibiri.
He besought his overload in Egypt to
send him munitions and men; thus
his account shows that the city was
being fought for as early as 400 B. C.
English Follow Old Path.
II IN worth noting that the English
army now in Bagdad may be setting out
for Jerusalem from the same region ou'
of which Sthe old Babylonian set FORTH
and to which he brought back the CAP
tured Jews in 5ss B. c.
After the captivity. when Jerusalem
was rebuilt under Ezra and Nehemiah
the city became so prosperous and
wealthy that Il was looked upon with
envy by the Greek, Alexander the Great.
Then came one of the most distressing
periods in the history of the city, when
Alexanders successors, among whom was
Antiochus Ephiphanes. completely de-
stroyed the temple and fortincations
Their determination to crush and stamI
out Jewish life gave rise to the revolu-
ton under the Maccabeans, who, in 165
entered the city and established an inde-
pendent Jewish kingdom which lasted 1Ot
years
Then came the Roman, great Pompey
himself, who. though invited into the city
was compelled to fight for the citadel
on the high rock. He finally won be-
cause the inhabitants, true to their re-

Cadets Fight Excellent Up- hill Battle, Tying Count in Ninth-Argo's Error
 Beats Cadets
By TOMMY HAYNES

Fourteen hits off Lefty Nations by the Marion Cadets were not quite enough to win over the Birmingham college Partners yesterday afternoon on Munger field in the deciding game of the series. The most spectacular game ever seen on the Methodists' diamond was brought to a close in the eleventh inning when Argo made an error on Wilks peg. allowing Gill lam to romp across with the deciding run. The final count was to 6.
 For three innings it looked like a pitchers battle would be the card for the day. but the swatsmen focused their orbs on the pill and administered severe punishment thereon. One home run, three triples and three doubles were slammed out by the opposing fac tions

 Both squads were held helpless Tn the tenth frame. due to air-tight pitch ing of the opposing southpaws. Argo ushered in the eleventh With a clean single to left field and with a batting rally imminent Ardis was drawn in from center field to relieve Nations. Coach Clarkson's youths were retired hitless and scoreless by the big twirler.

SOUTHERN SCHOOLS
 | TRAINING STUDENTS IN MILITARY LIFE
Practically Every School in South Responding to Call of Government to Pre-
 pare Pupils

Practically every university, college and preparatory school in the south, supported by faculties and students, are turning their attention to questions relating to the support of the govern ment in its war with Germany, Many of them have cancelled their athletic schedules and are devoting liberal pe- riods of the daily programme to mill itary training. Others are falling in line with movements looking to in- creased food crops.
 In many instances military schools in the south are assisting institutions a part of the course. Hundreds of students in the universities, who have not already enlisted In the different branches of military and naval serv- ice, are preparing to do so through training for the officers reserve corps.
 Probably the most conspicuous movement for national defense is in progress at Washington and Lee uni- versity. where 90 per cent of the stu dent body is taking part in daily mill itary drills. The Lexington students are being trained through the assist ance of cadet officers from the Vir- ginia Military institute.
 At Vanderbilt university. the stu dents are devoting a certain class pe riod to drill under the instructions of United States army officers. Similar training is being given to the men at the University of Alabama, the Uni versity of North Carolina and Geor gia university
 At the Virginia Polytechnic insti- ute a civilian training camp has been established and training is in prgress under cadet officers and army men.
 At Auburn, Mississippi A. and NJ, Georgia Tech, Marion Military acad emy and many other southern institu- tions where military training is a part of the curriculum. classroom studies practically have been superseded by training in the fields with arms

He led the Dixie league in bat ting last year and his home run drives aided Dothan very much in winning the pennant.
 Six men of last years team are now out Three have been sold, two going to Moultrie, the trio bringing $500 Freck, pitcher; Emery. outflelder, and Spitznagle, second baseman, have not reported. Emery and Spitznagle may report soon, but Freck may not play ball this wear.
 With six old men out Jack Reidy is having to build up almost new team. While this is great handicap, Reidy seems confident that he will have q winning outfit before the season is very old. even if he gets a late start.
