New York, Feb. 23.-It is probable
that Hindenburg has not more than
1000 men actively engaged at all
points in the German forward move
ment into Russia.
The slowness Of the German adj
vance, in view Of the absence Of OPP
position, undoubtedly has been influ-
enced by the increasing possibility that
the Russians nay organize a trap for
the numerically weak invaders. linden
burg is taking no risk of suffering
heavy casualties and causing renewed
unrest in Germany.
The bulk of the German troops on the
Russian front are inactive. For the
first time the German general staff
has definitely abandoned it's former
ruthless policy Of risking large masses
of men regardless Of the losses.

Well, this time tomorrow we
will be telling you all about the
Police Federal ball game.
At 6 p. m. tonight the two
teams of law-upholding warriors
OF the base will journey to Ath-
letc park where they will engage
in battle royal for ball honors,
and. incidentally to see just how
much they can help the Red Cross
Gift Shop in its great work.
Not being able to get any au-
thentic dope from either of the
captains OF the teams, we went
around to the Red Cross Gift Shop
and asked Mrs. McCaustland. She
said:
II really believe those rascally
police boys will whip the Federals
again! OF course, l wouldn't like
to be quoted as saying this, but
this is just my candid, frank, hon
est-to-goodness opinion"
So now you have it. Whether
or not Mrs. McCaustland has it
doped out right remains to be seen

The game of tennis is begun
with a serve.
1t is curious that the last thing
a beginner should learn is service.
Nevertheless this is true. The
novice should learn to drive be-
fore he attempts the art of serv-
ing. The accuracy learned in driv-
ing will be of inestimatable bene-
fit in placing his service properly.
The two photographs of Harold
Throckmorton, Americas fore
most tennis player show the start
and end of the perfect serve.
In the larger picture note the
full swing Throckmorton takes at
the ball, which he has tossed high
in the air with the left hand. The
smaller picture shows the perfect
follow thru"
The average beginner Is likely
to become imbued with the idea
that extreme speed is necessary to
good service. Some speed is nee
essary, but the young tennis play
err had better devote his time to
learning accuracy.
The territory in which the ball
must land to be fair Is small at
the best and altho two serves are
allowed the best tennis players

Oliver Morosco has added con-
siderably to his high reputation

to the gayety Of the present dra-
matte season by his production of

Hatton comedy, Upstairs and
Down." which comes to the Taco
ma theater tonight.
In upstairs and Down" the au-
thors adopted the daring design
not only of telling two parallel
stories with a parity of interest,
but of lodging that interest almost
equally in the drawing room and
in the kitchen.
The running OF the dual plots
is clear, the lines are bright, the
epigrams brilliant and there are
many exceedingly amusing s,tua-
lions and complications. All of
the entanglements of the masters
and their passions have their cor
responding shadows below stairs,
save that it would appear that in
their love-making the servants are
a shade more discreet than their
betters. Tacoma theater tonight.

usually try to get their first ball
over without fault.
The big mistake made by most
novices is that they attempt to
make an ace on their service
that is drive the ball with such
speed or to such a position that
the opponent is unable to return
it.
An lace" point is as good as
any other, but the player who con-
sistently tries for "aces" is more
likely to reap double faults.
AS accuracy is learned, more
and more speed may be acquired.
If the first serve results in a fault
the second should be slower and
more carefully delivered.
Cuts, twists, spins and other
trick deliveries should be avoided
by the novice. Only the person
who has mastered the straight
drives and serves should attempt
them.

greatest things that so many are
forced to fight, is the great. bar
rier between Billy Bates and sue

love.
Billy's father was confirmed
drunkard, and under the pressure

He would probably have sunk
into an obscure death in whisky

"Broiler" in the chorus of the Fol-

spark of manhood.

with Charles Ray in the lead, is
made particularly pleasing be-
cause of its heroine, who is reg

times forced to wear tights in the
