General Pershing Will Not Permit
the >Drinkinq. of Booze.

the drinking. of Booze.
Headquarters American Expedition
ary Forces, September 25.-[Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press]-.
General Pershings order forbidding
the use of all alcoholic beverages ex-
|cept light wines and beers by SOL
diers and instituting various forms
of athletics and wholesome amuse-
ments to prevent immortality has
brought him much gratifying and
favorable comment from American
and allied sources which have been
striving for the betterment of the
men in the field. His admonition of
prompt disciplinary action" is hav-
ing salutary effect.
Efforts are being made to keep
every American soldier, when he is
not actually under fire or in the,
trenches, occupied with instruction
on various useful subjects, work, drill,
base ball, football, wrestling, boxing,
foot racing and other forms of sport,
athletic games, theatrical entertain
ments and clean motion picture
shows.
The determination of the Ameri
can commander to secure a rigid en-
forcement of his anti drunkenness
and anti immortality regulation was
indicated in a letter written by Gen.
eral Pershing appointing represen
tatives to British American con-
ference on the subject, in which he
said:
"The gravest responsibility rests
on those to whom the parents of our
soldiers have entrusted their sons to
the battle and we fail if we neglect
any effort to safeguard them in every
way. We have the common ground of
humanity; we have the well consid-
cred conclusions of the best scien-
tific minds on our side. and from the
fact that, in this war of nations in
arms the soldier is merely a citizen
on war service we have all the ele-
ments which will force CO. o-operation
between military and civilian au-
thorities."
Leniency by courts martial in
dealing with cases arising from non
observance of the order, General
Pershing stated, would not be toler-
ated land to insure this" he said, "the
records of all sentences will be care
fully examined and compared and
lax courts and officers held strictly
accountable"

Coming on it's sixth annual tour,
that superb dramatic spectacle
taken from Robert Hichen's famous
novel of the same title, "The Garden
of Allah will be the attraction at
the Mankato theatre October 13.
The play was dramatized by Mr..
Hichens, assisted by Mary Anderson
de Navarro.
A wonderfully great cast has been
selected to portray the distinctive
characters of this absorbing and
thrilling story
Nothing could be more finely and
fastidiously feminine than the
"Domini Enfilden" portrayed by
Edna Archer Crawford In every
scene her acting is exquisitely sim
cere and true-and in the big NOM
ents really great-for it is the rich
and gracious femininity of the i'm
personation, that gives one of the
greatest charms to. the drama.
Paul Gilmore vividly realizes the
character of Boris" the young
monk, in appearance and carriage.
HIS portrayal of the dreamer, capa-
Bile of any act of self delusion or
reckless daring, and his acting in
the heavier scenes, wins him round
after round of applause.
Walter Edwin gives distinction to
the part of Count Anteoni," and in
the great scene between him and
Boris, in, which he tells the monk
that his identity is known, and
forces him to tell his bride the truth,
both give magnificent portrayals.
William j. Hasson's smile of be-
nevolence fits well under the shovel
hat of the French priest, and Ed
ward Everett is an excellent French
captain.
Native Arabs in the large number
of minor characters, not only add to
the picturesqueness of the various
scenes, but they also act with the
facile and fiery grace of their kind.

HANK G0WDY WRITES LETTER

Of Boston Braves.

"It makes no difference how many

Gowdy, former catching star Of the
Boston Braves. Hank is a member of
the 166th United States infantry, with
the American expeditionary forces
"over there" being the first baseball
player in either OF the big leagues to
enter the service.
'Gas Masks" writes Hank. 81 hate
'em. I'll bet they're worse than the
gas itself. i am almost tempted to risk
1t. They're hard things to handle hard
to put on, harder to keep on and hard
to take Off again. A fellow does get

PICK SOx AND GIANTS
Selected as Logical Pennant
Winners in Major Leagues.
Champions Of 1917 Just as Strong az
Ever and "Dope" Favors Them to
Repeat - Boston Lacking In
Experience Today.

The White Sox and Giants stand
out today as logical pennant winners
in the major league races.
Some of their rivals have been
strengthened. while others have been
weakened by player deals or the
weight Of war, but the 1917 cham
pions are just as strong as ever, and
the dope" favors them to repeat.
The worlds champion White Sox
have not lost player whose absence
would hurt their chances. The team
Is intact, thoroughly seasoned, highly
confident and efficient In every re-
spect. The pitching staff, which did
such effective work last season, is on
edge again this year. and 1t appears
that the Sox should set pace that
will lead their rivals to the wire.
In the National league the Giants
are still supreme. although they will
find stiff opposition in the West. Me-
Graw's team has not been weakened,
though Herzog and Robertson are
missing. Ross Young is more than
filling Robertson's shoes, while Doyle
and Barnes have added strength to
the club. II the Giants can hold the
players now wearing uniforms they
will lead the field In October.
A study of the opposition in the
path of the 1917 champions reveals
the Red Sox as the only club liable
to give Chicago desperate fight for
the American league pennant. Bos-
ton filled the empty shoes of departed
stars with players equally capable,
and the team as a whole is strong as
Chicago. But Boston's players lack
experitNce together, which Is big
point in favor of the White Sox.
Detroit appears to be next In line.
The Tigers lack pitching strength, but
there is no denying the driving power
and defensive ability of the club as a
whole. Cleveland and New York
should fight hard for the remaining
first-division berth. The Indians have
been hit hard by the draft and en-.
listments, but Lee Fohl gets the Best
out of his men and he still has q
strong team. The Yankees, under Mil
Ter Higgins, are on their toes. They
have class enough to make a stiff
fight for position. ST. Louis, Wash.
ington and Philadelphia are doomed
for the second division, with the
Browns showing best on paper.
