CITED BY FRENCH

Sporting men everywhere are today

American football star, who has been
cited by the French government for
bravery in action. EOurSe's achieve

swelling list OF American athletes
who have made good in the big game

What the French government says
Of Nourse follows:
Lieut.. Robert l.. Nourse, a cour-

posing himself. without thought Of
personal danger in order to assure
the evacuation OF wounded French
soldiers, was overtaken by a bonn
bardment of gas shells, while making
a reconnaissance on January 12, 1918;
his face and right eye being severely
burned by the poisonous gas. He re-
fused to be removed. and continued
to direct his section during the whole
occupation of the sector" .

Concerning DR.. Lavap.
During his visit to Washington re-
Gently DR.. Lavan, destined TO nIav
the shortaeld for the Grifrmen this
year, endeavored TO learn from the
navy officials how soon he would he
called for active service in the medi.
cal corps. He has already received
his commission as a reserve medical
officer and is eager for sea duty.
He was given little or no informa-
tion, but was told TO go ahead with
his baseball until such time as he
would be ordered to active duty.
Therefore, he will at least start the
season with the Grinmen.
cdIn rice seems OF the opinion that
he will be called to army service
early and has not planned for join
ing the Washington club. But il IS
also possible that, receiving no or
ders. he may take a chance at play
ing ball until he is summoned to mill
tary duty.
With LaVan and Rice both in the
lineup, the GrIffs will be one OF the
best balanced teams in the circuit.
Favored by the early schedule. the
team should get away to a flying
start, which might be maintained
even II both Lavan and Rice were
lost at a later time.
The Griffmen will have two prac-
tice sessions daily at Augusta right
from the jump. The Old Fox believes
in work and lots of IL for his aspir-
ing athletes in the spring training
season. With a weeks start on their
mates. the pitchers will be buzzing
'em through by the time the regulars
arrive and batting eyes will have to
clear rapidly. II the boys are to mako

WE NEED THE SHIPS.

The withdrawal of many thousands oi
tons Of Norwegian shipping from the
transatlantic service is threatened be
cause the war board refuses to grant
licenses to the Norwegians unless they
agree not 10 withdraw any shipping be-
fore the end Of the war. Besides declining
To DO this, the owners ask for guarantee
that rates will not be lowered and that
If the cost Of war-risk insurance increases,
rates will be increased enough to cover it.
The guarantees asked for appear to be
small matters on which to risk with
drawal of so many tons of shipping, when
all vessels are so badly needed in this
trade. The guarantees could be regarded
as the price paid for the epecial privilege
of having the use Of these ships APP
parently it would be a small price, even
if our shipbuilding program should be
carried out exactly as planned. 1t is i'm
possible as long as the war lasts to get
too many vessels III this service But if
the guarantees are to be given, the Nor
wegians should be willing to meet the con-
dition imposed by the war trade board
