The numerous silly rulings OF the A.
A. U. anent the qualifications OF sth-
letes and the authenticity OF athletic rec
ords seem TO have been outdone by a
ruling OF the Australia Swimming Asso-
citation. II a reported cablegram from
this body 10 the A. A. 4. proves TO be
authentic.
It is rumored that the A. s. A. will
refuse 10 countensnce the participa-
ton Of Miss Fanny Durack, worlds
champion woman swimmer in American
competition and has cabled the A. A. L..
to this effect, asking that the American
body refuse % allow the Australian
mermaid to swim in this country pend
ing the arrival OF a letter from the Aus
tralian association.
And the reason for this tempest in
| teapot Is because Miss Durack selected
her own chaperon when she sailed for
America instead OF consulting the A. S.
A. about IL.
According to rumors filtering in from
the coast, where Miss Durack is to land,
the Australian speed wonder insisted on
| bringing her sister to America as a
chaperon. while the A. 5. a. was equally
insistsnt that she bring someone invest
ed with amateur authority, whatever
that Is.
For this reason the A. {. A. has cabled
the A. A. u. that II considers that the
highest standards Of amateurism can
not be maintained n Miss Durack Is per-
mitted 10 compete here.
or course IL appears that some mem
Der Of tie A. s A. wanted little Joy
ride 10 the states and succeeded I'm con-
vincing his associates that Miss Dursck
should be made the goat when he did
not get it
Pending the arrival OF the letter
which II is said, win explain the sit
uatlon, u IS likely the A. A. L. will re
, fuse 20 sanction Miss Durack's appear
ance here in authorized competition.
The situation would be grievous II !
were not so ridiculous.
American swimmers have beer

the champion Half a dozen OF ON
greatest meTmaids are ready 10 try q
take her measure in all events from 3
yards TO a mile. in all OF which event,
Miss Durack now holds internatlona
records.
10 will be her lrst appearance In
America, although she has toured IN
England Scotland, Sweden, Germany,
New Zealand and Australia. Her great

where she defeated all comers and hung
up a bunch Of records that other girls

ITALIAN BATTLE PICTURES.

Everyone Interested In doing their
"bit" toward alleviating the suffering
OF "our boys" will be inspired 10 even
greater efforts by the scenes Of what
such aid means, as depicted by the on
cisl Italian war pictures. The italian
Battlefront now being shown at The
Playhouse, afternoon and night this
week.
The work Of the Red Cross as reveal
ed by these remarkable pictures rivals
the most heroic exploits Of the flring
line They reveal feats Of self-sacri-
flee, such as the rescue Of the wounded
on the treacherous peaks OF tte Alps
and their removal 10 hospital stations
through snow that Is waist deep-in
way that no written descriptions could
possibly depict.
The realism Of these scenes In "The
italian Battlefront differs from all the
other war pictures which have been
shown in this country
SO many other pictures have been
posed with more masquerading super
Quaker guns or super /
animated pieces Of artillery, with moth /
ing more deadly than film explosions |
with so many obvious errors In evil /
dence that even the laymen are amused. /
In the case Of the Italian pictures, u Is /
said. fiction has not higher aim than .
fact. for the present war has created so /
many extraordinary conditions the plain .

"The Italian Battlefront" IS q great /
adventure with a big benencent pur- /
pose, for the proceeds go 10 swell the /
war fund OF Italy, the country that is I
now doing such a big part IN the world /
war.
1T Is more than a moving picture" I
said one critic; "lt Is a series Of the /
great world events that are molding /
new epoch.
"Photographically. The Italian Bat /.

its kind But the surprising merit is l
in the natural working out Of the pic /

Judge Toney for Reelection

We are pleased to call the attention
of our readers this week to the an
nouncement of Judge +. p. Toney. who
is candidate for an endorsement
term" as county and probate judge of
Chicot county.
That Judge Toney will be given this
endorsement goes practically without
saying. for he has made not only one
of the best Judges that Chicot county
ever had, but without question one of
the best that any county ever had. in
Arkansas or elsewhere.
He has despatched the duties of his
office with marked degree of etiieirn-
cy. and as an untiring advocate of good
roads has accomplished much that will
prove of lasting benefit to the county,
From first TO last ne played an import
ant part in securing the inter state
highway. and in many other ways has
assisted materially in putting Chicot
county on the map. 1t was through
his efforts that the meeting of the
State Association of County Judges
was brought here last fall, and also to
him is largely due the credit for bring
ing the National Editorial Association
to Chicot county next June.
In every way Judge Toney has
proven himself live wire. always
rejecting credit on himself. his office
and Chicot county. In view of which
it is more than likely that he will be
re elected without opposition.
