Tomorrow night the feature Of the
play in the District Intercollegiate
Basket Ball League should be the game
between Gallaudet and George WASH
ington. The Hatchetites and Kendall
Greeners have been improving consid-
erably, and ought to put up a mighty
interesting and hard-fought contest
The first game of the season took place
between these quints, and George
Washington won by a fairly good mar
gin. However. changes in the Gallau-
det lineup and more practice have given
quite an impetus to the work of its squad.
Catholic University and Maryland
State meet in the other game. The
Brooklandess ought to win without
much trouble unless the State combina-
ticn plays a whole lot better basket
ball than it has in any contest so Tar.
G. U. is not near as strong as in former
years, but Maryland State has weak
combination, due to lack of place in
which to practice. State is playing
through the league schedule with only
one short practice period each week.
This afternoon Western and Technical
meet in the high school series. Central
was scheduled to meet Eastern, but OBJ
tanned postponement in order to be al
lowed to play the Staunton Military
Academy

BRITISH NAVY IGNORES
SENIORITY TRADITION
Commodore Reginald z. Tyrwhitt
Promoted Over Nearly Fifty Other
officers to Act as Rear Admiral.

LONDON. January 1s.-commodore
Reginald Y Tyrwhitt has been ap-
pointed acting rear admiral. The Daily
Mail in commencing the promotion
says it marks a great change, for which
the new admiralty is responsible. The
newspaper calls attention to the fact
that Commodore Tyrwhitt was pro-
NOTED over the heads Of nearly fifty
other officers, ignoring the seniority
tradition.
Commodore Tyrwhftt has been in COM
mand of the destroyer fiotillas Of the
first fleet since 1918. He was in COM
mand of the destroyers in the action in
the Helgoland Blight in December, 1914.
and off the Dogger Bank in 1915, in
both of which battles the British fleets
were VICTORIOUS over the Germans. He
was on board the British cruiser Are
thusa when that vessel was sunk by
striking mine off the east coast Of
England early in 1916.

GOLF TERMED FACSIMILE
OF THE GAME Of LIFE
Clear Conscience and Serene Mind
Essential for success-Physical
Condition Counts Little.

When the links devotee solemnly as
sures you that golf is a facsimile of
the game of life he knows whereof he
speaks. 1t is the man who makes the
fewest mistakes that wins; but none
is perfect, and even the most glorious
of golf champions cannot maintain
himself at lofty standard. He knows
himself for a sinner, but he calls it
being off his game
Physical perfection is of little ac-
count in golf. A mighty drive that
leaves a ball outside the limits of the
straight and narrow pathway counts
for less than the weaker stroke that
sacrifices distance for accuracy The
temptations in golf are all too nu-
merous. and pride invariably results in
a fall. Therefore. a clean conscience
and calm. serene mind are far above
erratic and spectacular virtue.
In golf it is yourself against the
world-not yourself against a mortal
opponent. Both he and you are striving
to overcome the obstacles and diff
culties which nature has placed in your
path. Given equal physical strength,
equal experience in the game, it is the
serene man of clear conscience and un-
harassed mind that will win. That is
why SO many nervous people are rec
commended to play golf. 1t brings
home poignantly the need for self-con-
troll. self-confidence. mental orderli-
ness, spiritual peace.
To attain the golf the mind must be
concentrated with solemn earnestness
upon the matter in hand-in no other
game does the player demand strict
silence while he is making a shot: in
no other game Is seriousness. ceremony.
etiquette, decorum generally SO impor-
tant a feature. The player who al
lows his mind to wander to external
things is lost. In other words. one
must relinquish ones self entirely to
the game to gain the reward of in
ward satisfaction.

War Cripples Mishandled.

"a monstrous thought has become a
fact" says Vorwaerts. Robust home
warriors excused from duty have mis-
handled war cripples, who could not
defend themselves with thir wounded
limbs, and have kicked and beaten
them. The men who did this call them
selves members of the fatherland party.
This party always proclaims that it
represents the sentiment Of the trench
es, but when crippled soldiers from the
front try to show them that they are
wrong they assault them These shame
full assaults proclaim the moral bank
ruptcy of the fatherland party"
The pan-German Deutsche Zeitung
and the Deutsches Tageszeitung try to
conceal the essential facts by describ-
ing the men assaulted as disturbing
socialists" but this does not agree with
the accounts in all the other news
papers. These agree in saying that the
cripples were not socialists and that
they were attacked before they had an
opportunity even to say a word in their
own defense.

PARIS, France, January 17.-There
will be radical change this year in
the type of automobiles and the char
acter of the accessories made in Amer
lea and shipped for service in France
1t will chiefly affect the horsepower
and weight, as well as the size of the
tires. 1t will eliminate self-starters
and electric lighting. At least this is
the opinion of majority of the prac-
tical automobile men who are officers

quartermaster department, who have
had an opportunity to study the sub
ject while in active service
The reason why the high-powered
car from home will disappear from the
Army in France" said one of these
officers today, 'is chiefly because it is
not economical. While the French are
shouting praises in our ears, we were
rtdiculing their automobiles. They ad-
.mired our quick getaway and high
speed and we could not see how it was
possible to take a ten-horsepower au-
tomobile seriously

when the Prussian deputy, Herr

canes were used on the cripples and
some even kicked them. When the
police appeared to lead the soldiers
from the room cries arose from the
spectators, Tear the iron crosses from
their button holes Those uttering
these cries had no war crosses.
The war cripples left the hall slow
1y, and as they filed down the stairs
they fell upon one another. More than
100 of them gathered below in a little
room to rest. One of them with but one
arm plays the piano. There is not one
in the gathering which has not left an
arm or a leg on the battlefield, and
there is none without a deep scar. Out

Terrible are these nights in the icy
craters of Flanders, and bitter are the
winds in the rock-carved trenches on

CRIPPLED GERMANS
ATTACKED IN Berlin
Invited to Mass Meeting Of
FatherIand Society, Then
Assaulted.
BY OSWALD F. SCHUETTE.
to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1913.

ZURICH, Switzerland. January II
Berlin papers arriving here recently
brought the first news Of the shock
ing mistreatment of war cripples at the
mass meeting of the Pan-German
Fatherland Society in Berlin week
ago. The organization had invited
the members of newly organized war
participants association to attend,
promising free speech. The veterans
sent a delegation of crippled soldiers to
represent the opposition to the PAN
German program, but before the sol
diers could speak the pan-German ora
tors denounced them as traitors and
some of the men in the audience as
saulted them.
Until now the Berlin censor has not
permitted news of this occurrence to
leave Germany. The Berliner Tage-
blatt says:
''One former soldier with an artificial
leg was kicked to the floor by. several
brave home warriors. Another soldier
with only one arm was struck by a
man with two healthy fists. Women
also took part in these unheard of ex-
cesses, striking the cripples with UNI
brellas."

Fifteen Horsepower Sufficient.

Since then we have come to believe
that fifteen is as much horespowe
as anybcdy wants for a touring car or
ambulance in France. This because the
French cars are built to run at the
maximum speed all day without over
strain or unusual wear. provided that
with four speeds ahead they change
gears instead of carrying around
great reserve of power. The difference
and waste.
I'VE have some cars running on the
poor gasoline furnished that do NOT
make more than eight or ten miles
to the gallon when the average French
ten to fifteen horsepower automobile
makes from thirty to forty miles on a
gallon They are using tires half the
size OF those on our big cars, which
are constantly in trouble on account of
speed 1t is possible to make When a
road Is clear and straight even a ten
horsepower French car plugs along all
day at an average of thirty miles an
hour without changing a tube. There
is no question but that American man
ufacturers are able to produce GUAM
titles of cars approximating the ideal
for service here. SO we do not believe
1t will be long before we begin to see
them
Evening star., 1918-01-18
May Be Adopted in o. S.

Some Of the officers who have been in
the automobile business at home are
inclined to believe that the experience
here, combined with the gasoline
shortage and the increased price of
tires, will lead to a demand for the
production Of lower powered automo-
biles Of the highest grade in the United
States, just as in Europe. 1t is evident
that electric starting and lighting and
other modern devices which are very
agreeable to private owners in Amer
lea will not much longer be found on
cars arriving here for war service, from
the fact that after these conveniences
once fail to work properly they are sell
dom put in working order again.
Armies longer in the war than ours
long ago found that oil and carbide
were the best lighting systems for
army cars, while any driver who could
not crank his own motor or pump tires
was better off in the trenches, where
the soldiers are supposed to have moth
ing to do but smoke cigarettes and
watch the war.
The prediction is made that in the
near future automobile manufa cturers
selling to the Army will spend the
money formerly devoted to luxuries
upon workmanship and materials, so
that every car built to run twelve
hours a day over the roads at it's maxi
mum or minimum speed will still be
good car after long service.
