'Play or keep quiet" is the slogan
OF Washington sandlotters this sea-
son. Teams with kicks registered
before the various league officials
have been told to get in on the dia-
mand and battle II out rather than
argue for victories.
The latest edict comes from the
Departmental League, which has
ordered the Agriculture and Engineer
teams to play OF game which was
claimed by the Aggies when the En-
gineers failed to put in an appear
ance.
Out In the Navy Yard League the
teams have been shifted around so
that; they will all come through with
their regularly scheduled contests.
League officials have taken a step in
the right direction, according to the
fans, by making the teams come out
to play rather than claim forfeits or
postponements

CITIZENSHIP FOR
ALIENS IN ARMY

Washington.-In co. operation with
the army general staff the naturaliza-
ton bureau of the department of labor
set in motion carefully prepared plans
to secure the speedy enforcement of
the act approved by President Wilson
Saturday night, which almost imme-
diately will confer American citizen
ship upon 1927 aliens now in the
national army, in addition to many
thousands in civil life.
Through neglect or ignorance of the
terms of the old naturalization law
many aliens now classed as enemies
failed to complete application before
the United States courts closed the
doors to further proceedings under
that law. Now those who meet the
tests of the government will be per-
mitted to acquire their citizenship
papers.
Provost Marshal General Crowders
figures show that in the first draft
457,703 aliens were called and of these
6,545 were certified for service. There
were 1870 461 persons among the total
called who had declared thier intention
to boone American citizens and 49,
1872 of these were certified for service.
Notice of the signing of the new
law have been sent to the Commanding
officers of all army camps and can
tonments requesting their assistance
in locating the men made eligible for
citizenship and affordlng them the OPP
portunity to complete their naturaliza-
ton.
Citizens eligible for citizenship I'M
der the new terms are expected to
make applications to the clerks of the
courts to complete their citizenship.

that but few such troops will be con-

liberal in his views, and although he
has been in camp but few days has

CAPT. |. A, STONE
TOURING CAMPS
Lectures on Social Hygiene by
Orders from Surgeon General
Under Auspices Commission
on Training Camp Activities.
Former Gas Instructor of the
28th Division.
No. 81


Captain Lee Alexander Stone, who
for six months or more was the Gas
Instructor of the 28th Division, has
been chosen by the Washington au-
thorities to spread the gospel of clean
living among the soldiers of all Amer
lean camps During his stay at Camp
Hancock and in the midst of irksome
details, he still found time to take a
part in sex morality campaigns. His
addresses on Potential Fatherhood"
and "The Body-God's Temple" were
heard with profit by thousands of men.
Captain Stone has thorough knowl-
edge of medicine, has made a cOmpre-
hens;ye and careful study of social
morals and the evolution of standards
OF chastity and this fund of infofnla-
ton is made effective by a high ideal-
ism combined with a clear method Of
expression.
Captain Stone has been set aside by
the Surgeon Generals Department to
tour the camps of the American army
under the auspices of the Commission
on Training Camp Activities, generally
known as the Fisdick Commission.
DR.. f. A. Seerly, of the Y. M, c. A.
Trainings school at Springfield Mass,
has been selected for similar service.
During Captain Stones last week
in camp he used a four-reel motion
picture dealing with the social tempta-
tions of the soldiers and the ravages of
veneral disease. The pictures also
showed in detail the method of using
prophylaxis as employed in the army.
These pictures added to the interest
in the presentation of delicate sub
iect and the attitude of the soldiers at
Camp Hancock towards Captain Stone
preesages for him great success in this
field.
Following is a copy of the orders re-
ceiged by Captain Stone:

Hancock is to become two distinc-
tive camps. with both under one gem
eral commander In addition to the
ordnance camp now established there,
Hancock is to become officially known
as the machine gun training center.
This statement II authorized by Goi
Oliver Edwards. regular arms
GER. who IS new the camp eo1las
and who VIII direct the training or
machine gun men at this point
Major r. r. GaugIer is commander
of the ordnance camp and is to con-
tinue as such While Colonel Ed
wards is to have general supervision
over all the camp, Major Gaugler is
the ordnance commander and will di
rect the training of such troops.
AS to how many machine gun men
will be brought to Hancock, Colonel
Edwards is not informed, or at least
will not make public at this time He
told The Herald correspondent today
that upon the adaptability of the camp
for machine gun training center de-
pended on the number of men to be
concentrated at this point. It is the
opinion of the new commander, though
that the camp will be filled to capac
fly This would mean that 10000 SOL
diers including tho ordnance troops,
would be brougE< here
Now National Army Camp.
Camp Hancock is no longer a ma
tional guard training camp but is
training center for national army men,
that is, drafted men. While Hancock
is to be known as d replacement camp,
according to Colonel Edwards. it will
be even bigger than that since it is to
be known as the countrys machine
gun training center.
The three regiments of ordnance
men at Camp Hancock were first
auartered in the section formerly oc
cupied by the motor mechanics, be-
ing that part of the camp lying be-
yond the engineers quarters just to
the south of the Wrightsboro Road.
Later the ordnance regiments, as stat
ed several days ago in The Herald,
moved into the quarters formerly oc-
Cupied by the four infantry regiments
of the Keystone Division. AS a re-
suit of the decision of the war de-
partrnent to make Hancock a machine
gun training center, the ordnance regi-
ments have been moved back into the
quarters south of the Wrightsboro
Road.
There are now between 1000 and
900 ordnance men at Camp Hancock,
and it is thought that this number will
be doubled The ordnance troops are

date likely make use of the old engi
neers' quarters.
This arrangement VIII leave the en-
tire quarters formerly occupied by the
infantry open to the machine ganners.
just what use will be made of the
quarters vacated by the artillery is not
known at this time.

There is every indication that Han

portant training ~centers in the entire
country. Definite information is not
available at this time, and certain
changes in the camp map be found ne
cessary to bring the camp up to it's
anticipated strength.
AS to bringing negro soldiers here,

WILL SPARE THE LIVES
OF SENTENCED SOLDIERS
The President Intercedes in Behalf Of
the Four Ordered to Be Shot
in France.

Washington.-Pres Wilson dis
proved Saturday the sentence of
four American soldiers in France or
dered to be shot.
Sentences of two of the men. Pri-
Yates Dion Ledoyen and Stanley G.
Fishback, were committed to three
years confinement. Privates Farest
d. Sebastian and Jess Cook were
granted full pardons.
In granting full pardon to Sebas-
tan and Cook, the president said he
did so in view of their extreme youth
and the fact that their offense was
wholly free from conscious disregard
of duty. Both were ordered sent back
to their companies.
Sebastian and Cook were convicted
of sleeping at sentry posts. Ledoyen
and Fishback were sentenced for dis
obeying orders.
First of the Kind.
Because they were understood to
be the first of the kind in the expe-
dictionary forces, the four cases have
attracted considerable attention.
General Pershing, under army regu-
lations, holds specific authority to
carry out sentences imposed by mill
tary counts. but he referred the rec
ord of the proceedings to the war de-
partment for final review and, through
the department, to the president
Officials of the judge advocate gen
erals department spent weeks in
carefully reviewing the testimony

ton had been legal throughout and

Chicago.-One-third of all the pas
senger trains between Chicago and
the Pacific coast will be eliminated
after June l. according to word re-
ceived from Washington by railway
officials. This step, it is said, would
save approximately $12.000,000 a year
and cut off 11.72S,0O0 miles of train
haul.
Under the revolutionized plan of
handling traffic passengers would no
longer have a choice of routes. Traf-
fic to the west coast and intermediate
points would be divided between four
lines, as follows:
To Los Angeles and Junction points
by Santa Fe.
To San Francisco and junction
points by Union Pacific.
To Seattle and Junction points by
Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul.
To Portland and junction points
by Northern Pacific.
Take off Many Trains.
The cut in service would take of
three to Seattle and Portland. More
than 40 local trains would be dis
pensed with also.

When the disorder had been quiet
