DISCOURAGES PRACTICE

Objections to the Custom and Cen

BY the Associated Press
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, December 24.--The American
expeditionary force wishes to dis
courage the budding practice of Ameri-
can women in adopting" individual
soldiers in France for the period of the
war The practice already threatens
to choke the congested mail service
and result in delay in the transmission
of important matter Moreover, the
censorship regulations forbid the men
to correspond with strangers. and as
this rule is being enforced rigidly, it is
desired that the people at home re-
frain from putting men here in an en-
barrassing position. as they feel under
obligation to answer such communca-
tons
An example of the interest certain
women at home are taking in '.adop-

HIGH IS PAID
TO GEN. TASKER H. BLISS
Will Continue to Serve as the Chief
of Staff, U. S. A., Despite His Re-
tirement Monday.

Gen. Tasker II. Bliss will continue to
without regard to his transfer to the
retired list on account of age next
Monday. and Maj Gen. John Biddle will
retain his present Office of assistant
chief of staff. according to an
nouncement made by Secretary Baker.
The decision to reappoint Gen. Bliss
is regarded in Army circles as an ex-
traordinary compliment, since it has
rarely been the case in any army that
a retired officer has headed the mill
tary machine.
The task of preparing the Army for
war has rested almost wholly on the
shoulders of Gen. Bliss from the start.
His recent trip to Europe to attend the
great war conference put him into the
closest possible touch with war condi-
tons for which the country is prepar-
ing. Gen. Bliss was assistant chief of
staff when war was declared. Maj. Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, then chief of staff, was
sent with former Senator Root to Rus
STA soon after the declaration, how
ever and the work of Army building
devolved on the assistant, to be con-
tinued when he was appointed chief on
Gen. SCOTS retirement.
In addition to his other duties the
general is senior Army member Of
Secretary Bakers new war council.
One of the tasks of that body is the
formulation of recommendations for
legislation needed by the Army. The
council has been in daily session with
Mr.. Baker since it's creation, and has
already framed such recommends tons.
which will soon be laid before Con-
gress.

BEST ALL-AR0UND PLAYER.
Max Carey of Pirates Picked as
Leader of National League.

! So far as the figures of averages go,
Max Carey of the Pirates is the best
an-around man playing the outfield in
the National League. Whether he is the
most valuable depends on other qualities
than those shown by records, such as

averages do not tell how many runs he
has batted in or how he batted in CO.
Operation with base runner and with

tSousch. Burns or Kaun. or make as
lnany runs as Burns, but he Is within
-Four points of 300 in batting and he
sstands fifth in run-making

Fred's Manager Scores Referee for
Decision in Tate Bout,

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. December 81
A statement denying that Fred Fulton,
claimant of the heavyweight title,
struck a foul blow in his Christmas
day bout here with Harry (Texas) Tate,
has been issued by Mike Collins, Full
toms manager. The statement pro-
tested against the conduct of Referee
Billy Hack. contending that the
referee should have counted Tate out
on two occasions in the first and only
round of the fight. The manager said
Fulton was to meet Tate again at any
time and he would in few days offer
Jess Willard a side bet of $4,000 that
the champion cannot stay with Fulton
through a twenty-round decision bout.
