CROOK POSES AS
BRITISH CAPTAIN

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.--Another i'm
personator. this time in the guise OF
a wounded British captain, was ar
rested while soliciting funds on the
plea that he was starving because
the British government had failed to
send him his pension.
The man said he was Raymond J.
Pennington, OF Fort William. Ontario.
For many months the Department of
Justice in this city and New York has
been looking for the man in connec-
ton with the collection of funds by
a pseudo British officer. In New
York. according to Captain Of Detec-
tives Souder, Pennington, who is
slightly anemic and who walks with
a linn. wore a British captains uni
form. and this. in conjunction with
the pitifuI tale he told. Souder says,
enabled him to live in the manner be-
fitting the rank he impersonated.
Souder says that in this city Pen
nington discarded the uniform for ci-
william clothing. The money he re-
ceived, however. was trihing. Daily
dozens OF complaints came in from
the downtown section about the man
full tale.
'I gave this man money because ]
pitied him. Can't something be done
TO make the British government give
him his allowance" was the usual
request which accompanied a COM
plant.
To the Eullible Pennington said he
enlisted in the British army at Wind
sor. Kingston, in 1918. and was sent
to France. He had been in all Of the
great battles in the early part OF the
war. he said. including the famous
retreat from Mons. Finally he was
gassed and wounded TO such an ex-
tent that he was sent back TO Canada
in March of this year as incurabIe
He said he was discharged from the
service only two months ago.
When taken before Captain Souder
the man confessed that he was an
impersonator: that he was never in
the British army. and that he crossed
into this country from Canada Ave
months ago.
Pennington was taken down to the
Department Of Justice to await q
hearing before Commissioner Long.

NEW CARS INCREASE
HARD COAL OUTPUT

While there has been a decreased
output in bituminous coal. there has
been an increase in anthracite. Much
aid has been given the Industry by the
Railroad Administration building new
freight cars.
American builders so far this year
have delivered 1856 cars of ali de-
scriptions to the Government. Most
OF them went to the allies or to the
military railways in France.
OF this number 10.694 have been
active service In this territory. Traf-
rolling stock.
This car increase Is also good news
for the mine workers, for they realize
that an increased number OF "empties"
at the mines means the possibility of
more pay in their envelopes.
A Government report shows that a
large proportion of the S97, 1876. 900 au-
thorized this year for construction OF
new sidings and industry tracks was
for spurs to coal mines. This aids IN
the quicker handling. loading, and
shipping OF coal to market
That the car movement has mate

tion is found in reports to A. H Smith.

had been making a delivery, gave
chase for a short distance and then

Nugent made a jump and caught one
horse by the bride. He hung on

side of the road against a fence.
He got up. hailed a passing auto
mobile and gave chase. A quarter Of
a mile further on he came up to the
team again. once more he grabbed
one of the horses and the team
swerved over into a field, where Nu-
gent was thrown into a ditch. The
horses went back onto the roSd and
continued their flight.

SEEK TRENCH GAME
TO DIVERT TROOPS

Many medals and the thanks OF the
entire American expeditionary force
await the genius who can design or
invent some sort of an athletic game
that may be played under the limita-
tions imposed by service in the front
line.
Here are some of the specifications:
Must be played in the open air. but
at the same time concealed from the
eye OF the enemy, though his artillery
observers may be within a mile and
his airplane scouts directly overhead:
il must not cause any large groups to
assemble; il must not be so exciting
as to CAUSE shouting or so strenuous
as to tire the men.
On the face of things it would ap-
pear that humble the peg. jarkstraws,
and checkers would about complete
the list OF sports coming up to the
specifications. But the Y. NJ. c. A.
physical department, which makes a
speciality of solving just such knotty
problems, has discovered that there
are other games much more enjoyable
and more beneficiai than these which
can be staged successfully right un-
der Fritz's nose.

means which both the. allies and the
Germans have come to use to wage
war here. and devising new ways OF
lighting. Around mountain peeks
stronghoIds in woods or in rocks are
built from which patrols operate
usually in force through the woods.
These patrols cross No Mans Land
often without knowing 1t. 1t is COM
paratively easy to penetrate the line
here. but it is harder to get back un-
detected. owing TO density of vegeta-
ton.
1t is an artillery warfare in this
aera. Big guns operate on strong
points and villages from the rear. and
little mountain artillery guns do the
close range work. Machine-guns
play across from both sides. fairly
well hidden in woods. Into this the
Americans are introducing a more
aggressive element, constant patrol
raids.
