Alexander w. Dingwall, forme the
atrical producer and manager, died
Saturday night at the Post Graduate
Hospital. He was sixty years old.
Mr.. Dingwall was one of the best
known producers in the Middle West.
About fifteen years ago he came to
New York and took charge of the
Broadway Theatre. His local successes
were brought by a number of English
melodramas, such as "The Price of
Peace" which he staged at the Broad
way.
During the run of "The Price of
Peace" Mr.. Dingwall was shot and seri-
ously wounded while dining at the
Pabst Hotel, Broadway and Forty-sec-
ond Street, with May Buckley, his lead
ing woman. His assailant was young
man who professed to be infatuated
with the actress, although he had never
met her.
Mr.. Dingwall entered the theatrical
business in Milwaukee after several
years spent on newspaper there as a
dramatic critic. He later became asso-
ciated with the late Joseph Lift in Nc
Vickers Theatre in Chicago. After Mr..
Litt's death he formed partnership

Significance Found in Sec
retary's Praise of Young
Marines
Third Less Than FL
Belief in Policy of Admitting
Them Seen in Navy Heads
Statement
lSpeciGl Dispdtch to The Trihnnc

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-One of the
best arguments yet advanced for lower
ing the draft age to eighteen came to-
day from one of the vigorous op-
ponents of such reduction. Secretary
OF the Navy Daniels, according to army
officers and officials who are advocating
the drafting of younger men. This is
the statement issued by Secretary
Daniels
Figures just made public by the
Marine Corps show that since our en-
trance into the war the corps has en-
listed 1896 recruits less than twenty
one years of age, representing 80 per
cent of the enlistments during that
time.
"The policy of the Marine Corps in
admittlng boys of eighteen years and
more into the ranks is more than JUS
tifled,. officers say, by the heroic fight
ing OF the marines at Chateau Therry
and Belleau Wood, the showing they
have made in their sector of the Marine
line since that time, and the youthful
ness of many of the marines who have
been decorated and cited in France.
while it was known that many boys
not twenty-one were serving with the
sea soldiers, the statement that they
aggregated nearly one-third of the en-
lstments was a surprise even to ma
rlne officers themselves"
Army officers were particularly
pleased that Secretary Daniels appar-
emily takes such pride in the perform
ance OF his marine recruits who are
less than twenty-one.
No Surprise to Army Men
"Not that it surprises u.s." said an
army officer tonight. "We knew they
would do we'll, just as the young volun-
teers in the army. including many who
overstated their ages on enlisting have
done. But it goes to prove that men of
that age should be drafted | can't
see the argument that a man should
not be forced to fight until he has the
vote. If the army, navy and Marine
Corps are going to accept volunteers
under the draft age it seems to me
that the slackers of the same ages
benefit precisely as would older slack
ers if we did not have the selectve
draft applying to greater ages.
Every argument of fairness, Of
selection, OF preventing any necessity
Of public opinion forcing slackers to
fight. which was made for the draft
itself, holds equally true in favor of
drafting at the lower ages, or else
refusing to take men at those ages in
the fighting units at all. Personally,
many of us are opposed to permitting
any volunteering whatever.
"But | hope that this means Mr.
Daniels will withdraw his opposition,
manifest some time ago, to lowering
the exemption ages"

Crowd of 100000

Coney Island had it's biggest crowd

In appreciation of the outpouring,
bathhouse proprietors who generally
charge % and so cents, increased their

50. The police had busy day with
lost children, and fifty ambulance calls
were received at the Coney Island Hos

who had cut their feet. Captain Byron
r. Sackett had a squad of detectives
out to keep bathers who wore nothing

was seized with cramps at the Brigh-
ton Baths. Both were brought ashore
unconscious, and pulmotor failed to

Coney Island Hospital.
The other victim was unidentifies.
Hc was swimming off West Twenty
fifth Street when John Mooney, a life
guard saw that he was in distress ano
brought him ashore. He was dead,
however. Apparently he was about
twenty-three years old.
Soon after midnight the line began
to form at the Municipal Baths, which
open at 8 a. M, and from that tim,
forward there was always long lins
of bathers waiting for admission.

lhe Tribune Fresh Air Fund

If you had known Irene you'd-but
wait!
She was eight in years, but not more
than six in size. One day in butcher
shop she stole n piece of meat and ran.
After her went tho butcher and his
customers, and Irene was soon turned
over to a policeman
Gee --was-hungry!" sobbed tho
girl when asked why she had stolen
the meat
"l'll bet a nickel you wor," comment
ed her police guardian as he looked at
her drawn and pinched face and her
feverish eyes. "l'm goin' to take you
to place where they'll cure you in
the right way from wantin' to steal
meat"
He took her round to nursery in
the neighborhood and turned her over
to the matron, who fed her and bathed
her ard put her to bed
Goes to Hospital
few days later Irene went to the
hospital, where she stayed for six
weeks, under treatment for gangrenous
feet-a condition brought about by ex-
posure to the cold and constant under
nourishment-in other words, slow
starvation.
When she came out of the hospital
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund took Irene
and sent her to the country Early in
the evening after her arrival at the
Funds Devereux Home, she had an cpl.
leptic fit, and uring the night several
more of them.
Throughout her stay at the home she
continued to have fits periodically
though careful treatment, fresh air anc
proper food somewhat reduced their
frequency.
She was pitiful little thing with q
scared, diffident way about her that
told its own tale of neglect or worse
When at first food in plenty was given
her she fawned upon those who served
her. When she received @ new outfit OF
clothing, she went about on tiptoe fol
whole day and never tired of saying
to those who were near "Aint they
nice? ?"
All Irene knew about her father was
that he worked in the water works
whatever that mcant). She never saw
him because he came home after she
went to bed and went away before she
was up.
She remembered mother once who
was beautiful and had little baby
But when she became the guest of The
Tribune Fund she had only step
mother. "Once a lady gave me a ring
but my stepmama took it away from
me to sell it," was the only piece OF
information which the youngster would
vouchsafe concerning .hc step-mother
Now in Good Home
When the Tribune Fund brought
Irene back to the city a kindly priest
interested himself in her, and arranged
to have her placed in a good home
where she now is.
If you had known Irene you would
have wanted to do something to help
her. If you could be persuaded that
there are other Irenes you'd do some
thing for them. At the very least you'd
help the Tribune Fund send them to
the country for vacations during this
hot weather.
There are other Irenes-take the
Tribune Funds word for it, And moth
ing would do most of them more good
just now than a change to the coun-
try for a fortnight-a blessed fort
