RECALLS OLD BALL DAYS.
Henry W. Berthrong, at Age Of "a,
Still Active in Sports.

Long time residents of Washing
ton who can recall the early days of
base ball in this city. will be pleased
to learn that Henry w. Berthrong, at
one time member of the old Ma
tionals and Olympics, still is enjoy
ing good health at his home in West
Somerville. Mass. near Boston. He is
customhouse at Boston and is a
member of the bowling league repre-
senting that department. This league
was organized in 1906 and only re-
Gently Berthrong toppled over $50
pins, a record for the organization.
For a man seventy-four years old
this is doing pretty well and estab-
fishes the fact that Berthrong retains
the keen eye and vigor of the olden
days
After the civil war Berthrong was a
noted ball player and oarsman. For
seven years he caught behind the bat
for the Nationals and Olympics. In
those days catchers didn't wear pro-
tectors and mitts. as BerthronR's 8
twisted fingers will attest. At Balti-
more in 1868 he established the world
record for circling the bases for a
home run. His time was lax sec
onds.
Berthrong also pulled bow oar in
the famous Potomac four which won
the championship of the United
States at Philadelphia in 1869.
He is today an expert billiard player
and an enthusiast at bridge whist
He plays first violin with the orches-
ira of Francis Gould Post, No. 36, of
Arlington. Mass, of which he has
been a member many years.
Berthrong was born at Mumford.
N. Y, January I, 1914. He served
three years with the 140th New York
Infantry during the civil war. He be-
came a Mason in this city f1fty-three
years ago and has been in the civil
service employ of the government for
more than fifty years.

Heal Skin Diseases

1t is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
Sl.OO for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from itching torture. 1t cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
most delicate skin. 1t is not greasy. IS
easily applied and costs little. Get 1t
today and save all further distress.

German Troops Show
 a Spirit Of Revolt

British Headquarters in France, Aug. 21 (By The Associated Press).-Ger- many's military leaders have become worried over the prospects of a revo- lution in Germany. General Luden- dorff, as has been revealed in a cap tured secret order, has taken steps to employ the assistance of his conn., manding officers and various govern mental agencies to help him stamp out the glowing spark which has been seen. The order follows:
 Tt has come to my knowledge through letter addressed to the royal Prussian ministry of war that men on leave have spoken publicly of a revo- luton which is to break out after the war.
 "A soldier. said to have come from the industrial region of Rhenish West phalia, declared in d train that in his home district men were going to leave, taking weapons with them for the aforesaid object, and that it was easy to take home German or captured re- volvers as well as hand grenades, sep | arated into two parts.
 I desire that the clothing of men going on leave be searched, as test l cases. before their departure. It will 1 be possible to carry this out at the | baths and dressing stations. l wish to 1 Impress upon all superior officers who | happen to hear such objectionable talk
 or who hear of it through others. that 1 they must deal with it at once and without hesitation. The home authori | ties and the director of military rail
 ways have been directed to take cor 1 responding measures"

KAISER IN ERROR ABOUT
 THE RRANpENRuRG LINES

Amsterdam, Aug. 21-The German emperor witnessed manoeuvers in Ar dennes Wood by the Brandenburg chausseur battalion and afterwards adressed the soldiers. He is quoted by his specia correspondent, Karl Rosner, in the Lokal Anzieger, as fol- lows:
 It is special pleasure to me to sa- lute on its manoeuvre ground the Brandenburg chasseur battalion, whose name is highly esteemed in the entire army. The Brandenburg spirit in it's fresh vivacity and loyalty makes ex- emplary soldiers and as such the themselves and only recently in the great battle in rance where they earn ed fresh laurels.
 For some time the battalion has been put at special work and shall become the instructor in fighting in modern battle. Every fresh battle experience, every new fighting method shall here be taken up and worked out for the benefit of the army.
 The idea of the entire task shall fill the individual fighter and battalion with spirit and efficiency and then shall be transmitted to my whole in- fantry. The old Brandenburg spirit the Brandenburg thoroughness and en- ergy, are forces which know to how to find victory
 Take the enemy everywhere you will find him firmly in mand. He shall again and again know that he cannot break through the Brandenburg lines. May God help you"
