Action Deferred for a Period Of Six
Months After End of War.

J. 3. wineman, chairman of the
Soldiers and Sailors Civilian Relief
committee is now working on the
case of Thomas f. Wells of Larimore
in regard to the contesting Of a claim
filed by Wells previous to his regis
tering and claim being contested be-
cause of his being in military service
necessitated his absence therefrom.
mr.. Wineman's attention was called
to the case and he Immediately took
the matter up with a Crookston land
company where Wells filed the claim,
asking for. deferred action: to c
plish this. a verified answer must be
secured from the local draft board
to the effect that Mr.. Wells is known
to be in the service. This was done
by Nj. Wineman.- and all action
against Wells will be deferred while
the possibility of his losing his land
for a period Of six months after the
duration Of the war, has been re-
moved.
This is n Of the many cases
brought up before the Soldiers and
Sailors Civilian Relief committee
where they protect the men in the
army or navy against. what might
otherwise be q material loss in money
or property.

From this It appears that the news

American contingent as late as three
days following the first gigantic

Expect Big Season For Newport Team

Newport, R. l., Oct. 16 - Fred Walker, who has succeeded Dr. Billy Bull as athletic director in the Second Navy District, has offered Boston College the second game of the sea- son here on Saturday. Aside from the Station team Walker has dozen regimental and other unit elevens in process of organization, and more football will be played in the Second district than has seemed possible be- fore.
 Walker has shifted Youngstrom, the former Dartmouth guard, to full back, and the heavyweight plunger gives promise of developing into another Ted Coy. Walker himself when at Chicago, wasaa plunging back of this kind.
 The Newport team has arranged to meet the Navy at Annapolis on Oct 26. This match between the typical Navy team and an eleven which ranks as one of the most promising of tho Navy station teams should prove one of the features of the season.
 On Nov. 2 Newport will meet the eleven of the Fifth, or Hampton Roads, district. This team is being coached by Louis I. Young, the rep resentative at that station of the Navy Commission on Training Camp Activities.

 While major interest may centre largely on the football games which are to be arranged for next month, i bowling, trap shooting, and track ath- letics will all be among the attrac- tions. MT. Roper returned yesterday from Washington, where he received the approval of the government for the carrying out of the extensive ath- iletic movement.
 All the sporting events will be car ried out on a vast scale, and it is ex- pected that all the colleges will join in the football drive by playing games between traditional rivals with elevens selected from the Student Army Training Corps.

Coffroth plans to bring together all the best known boxes and will hold shows all over the country including Madison, Square Garden, Cleveland, Milwaukee and all the cities throughout the South and West.
 The best golfers in the country will also get into action during the drive and this sport will be in charge of Corneulius J. Sullivan of Garden City John D. Rockefeller, Jr., will give medals for the successful golfers in the competitions.

WILL NOT OFFER FARM LOAN BONDS

Washington, Oct. 16.---Federal farm loan bonds will not be offered for marketing in the near future, it was announced today by George w. Nor ris, Federal Farm Loan Commits sioner.
 The proceeds of the tonds sold in June will take care of the loaning re- quirements of the Federal land banks until nearly the end of the present year." he said, "and in pursuance of the general policy of curtailing and regulating security offerings, 1t is probable that such bonds as the banks may have occasion to sell in the early part of next year will be taken by the United States treasury These bonds will thereafter be marketed by the treasury at such times and in such amounts as the secretary of the treas ury may deem advisable"

LAWN TENNIS HAS' STOOD WAR TEST
Continued Activity Urged By President of us.
 Association.

Lawn tennis has stanchly stood the test of the war conditions. That is the opinion of Julian $. Myrick, the vice president Of the United States Ma tional Lawn Tennis Association In
 many ways the game of the courts
 has received new strength and en- couragement. Five hundred colleges and universities were recently asked
 to consider establishing the game as | a major sport and their favorable re- | sponse was most encouraging.
 The true barometer of progress, the | membership list, has held to a nor | nal condition despite the fact that championships, prizes and rankings were abolished last season and reYiv- ed this year. As Acting President Myrick argues: If lawn tennis can stem the current of war diversity with such great stars absent from the courts as Lieut.. R. Norris Williams | 2d, the former national champion; l Lieut.. George M. Church, Lieut.. Wat son M. Washburn, Ensign William M.
 Johnston and Maurice E. Mclaughlin, l who are in the navy, and others, now NO44 S1tdL WOu4o 1lelN . | been it's progress in times of peace." Officers of the national association
 have recently urged upon the clubs | the desirability of continued activity
 and aggressiYeness. In a letter which
 has just been sent forth officially the
 fact that the game has held it's own | is dwelt upon as follows:
 i '"The national association is holding l it's own, for new members balance
 resignations. As conditions confront | ing clubs seem to be growing more l difficult it seems wise to suggest again | to their officials this thought: That
 they are the trustees of a considerable property interest which can only be
 conserved by maintaining the activity | of every club.
 i If clubs are allowed to slump tre-
 mendous damage will be done which | cannot be repaired for years. In many
 cases organization among the women l of the Red Cross Chapters has been 3 , helpful method of maintaining club
 interest and serving the country"
 l The larger organizations with spa cious grounds and equipment have {; suffered more because of the wal
 conditions than those with only g limited number of courts. The or. ganizations such as the New York
 Lawn Tennis Club, with it's field al
 238th street and Broadway, the Uni
 versity Heights Club and others 0. like character have gone booming
 along through the war times.
 Christopher B. Winne, president 0.
 the New York Club, stated yesterday in discussing thes tatement issued b!
 the national association, that the New
 York Club had experienced the mos
 successful year of it's 38 years of ex
 istence. Its membership was filled
 and it's finances had never been in bet ter condition.
