PATRIOTIC SERVICE IS URGED :
BY ONE INFANTRY COMMANDER
Gen. Nicholson Tells Newly Drafted Men to
Think Not Of Personal Rights. But
of Responsibilities.

Think not of your rights. but of
your responsibilities"
This is the simple, direct message Of
Brig. Gen. William ]. Nicholson, in
fantry commander and old Indian war;
rior, to the newly drafted men in his
command. He believes that his older
men are practically regulars" in every
sense, and appreciate the high privi-
lege which is theirs Of serving the ma
ton.
The general was asked IL there was
something which might come from him,
an officer of forty-odd years standing
in the American Army. to stir the pa
triotic' fervor of those few men who
upon arriving in Meade had not caught
the spirit of enthusiastic service which
permeates the body of the troops al
ready in the ranks.
His eyes flashed at the thought of
helping his fellows to a better under
standing of their duty, and he an
swered emphatically and with q touch
of pride at the opportunity to aid.
1.-THE minute all American young men
forget about their rights and begin to
consider their responsibilities for the
great privileges they enjoy and for
which their fathers fought and died,
then will they become truly great men
and soldiers"
1mparts Tenfo1d Power.
When a soldier becomes animated
with the idea that he is doing his sim
pie duty to his flag and country in de-
tending them from oppression, the gen.
eral said, he will go forth to battle
gladly and with a tenfold power to
strike the Hun. He said there were
vnouv man <ndav who did not aclnowl-
edge their indebtedness to the nation.
A conscientious objector should be
put to work, said the general. and when
one told him that he would not even
raise his hand to protect his mother
and sisters from violation he told the
objector to leave his office. that he
would not speak with such a person.

Maddin Summers, United States con-
sui general at Moscow, died suddenly
yesterday as result of many months
of e&acting work, according to an an
nouncement made by the State Depart
ment. AS head of the United States
mission at the bolshevik capital Mr..

traordinary and most exacting task of

directed the activities of great or
ganization of consular officers and
agents extending through eastern Rus
sia. all the way to Eladivostok.
Oficials of the State Department said

truly as though he had lost his life in
the trenches.

Summers was forty-one years old. He
had been in the service since 1S39
w1len, after attending Vanderbilt and
Columbia universities. he was appoint
ed consular clerk. Soon afterward he
went to Barcelona. Spain. as vice and
deputy consul general. and during the
years that followed he served at
Madrid. at Belgrade. Serbia. and at
various Latin American cities. In Au-
gust. 1915. he was recalled to Wash
ington hom Sac Paulo. Brazil. to act
as secretary of the Pan-American Sci
entific Congress. Then he was detailed
to the Latin American division Of the
State Department until April, 1917,
when he went to Moscow.
In Spain Mr.. Summers married a
Russian woman of a prominent Moscow
family. and at Belgrade he acquired
much knowledge Of value to him in
his Russian consulate generalship.

Dear Folks: You ought to see Mike
Leonard conduct i boxing class of
500 men on the parade ground
here-75o fights all going at once.
Bud will know flom the sporting
page who Mike Leonard is. He is the
only middleweight tighter in the world
who has never been knocked out.
I suppose mother will say that to
teach us boxing is bad for us-brutal-
izing and depraving and the like OF
that. But I'll prove to you that 1t
works out just the other way.
At mess today noon a big Cob came
tearing into the hall and never stop
ned to pick up al tray or knife and
fork. He had something besides chow
on his mind. He iglared around the
tables and yelled:
where is he? Where is that blank
ety-blanked blank OF a Kennedy that
called me blankety-blank blank
where is he? I'll fix him.
Another bag Cob jumped up and
climbed over the tables toward him.

What do you mean. bawling me out

epilt But a bunch Of Gobs grabbed
Aill Myers and rushed him into a cor
mar, while another bunch got around
Kennedy. and pretty soon both fellows
cooled down and shook hands. and
later in the day 1 saw the two of them
eating fig newtons out of the same
package behind the canteen.
The, point is what the peacemakers
said t. them. They said to Bill
Myers:
people at\ Washington let us have box
ing in tn, Navy. Now. what'Il hap
pen If you\ and Kennedy fight? They'll
take boxinA away from us. You don't
want to kiln boxing for the Navy just
because Kennedy called you little

Where Can the Boys Play?

To the Editor of The Star:
I am writing you in regard to q
proposition that was called to my at
tention some time ago. 1t is the ques-
tion of places to play for the younger
folks.
Near the locality where I room, only
last night. some boys. averaging frora
ten to sixteen years Of age. were play
ing ball, when some man, 1t seems,
made a complaint about their playing
on that lot. From the story of one of
the boys, l think he complained to a
policeman. The boys then left the lot,
going to a drug store to get some light
refreshment. and on coming out of the
store. gathering on the corner where
they left their bicycles, the policeman
happened to be there, and ordered them
of the corner. The boys said they Gid
not intend to congregate on the CDR
ner. but were going to take ride on
their bicycles.
This brings to the attention the ques-
ton as to whether or not proper facil-
tiles are provided for healthy recrea-
tion during the evenings after school.
folks. The boys mentioned say that II
they go to the playground of a school
nearby, the bigger fellows chase them
off the ground.
The whole matter might be taken
care OF by tho several citizens assocfa-
tions delegating different men to take
charge of the Fairgrounds in the sew
eral parts of the city on the several
nights Of the week.
A month or so ago. on going down the
street. I noticed q negro boy roller
skating on the pavement. A man in an
automobile stopped, and ordered the
boy to get of the pavement. Farther
down a white boy roller-skating on the
sidewalk was ordered off the walk by
a man. who told him he had no busi-
ness thereto go out on the pavement
Some time later 1 noticed several ne
gro boys playing in one OF the small
parks between two angling streets. and
a policeman ordered them or Of It,
Where can the kids play?
Any one will agree that healthy sport
is necessary. not only to normal physi-
cal development. but to mental as we'll
yes. moral, and the moral develop
ment is what so many people are al
ways talking about. 1t looks az though
this matter could be adjusted in some
satisfactory manner. not TO the annoy
ance of residents. nor yet to the hin
