TEA DOES NOT COME UNDER THE
 HEAD 0F FOOD

LONDON, June 5.-Ted is not q food within the meaning of the British food controllers order against boarding, according to a decision handed down by the kings bench division of the high court of justice
 The case under reveiw was that of a woman who had been fined $250 for accumulating 122 pounds of England's favorite beverage. The controllers anti-hoarding order reads :: For the purpose of this order the expression article of food shall in clude every article which is used foI food by man, or which ordinarily enters into the composition or prepai. ation of human food.'
 The court said: Unless tea could be got within the word food il could not come within the prohibi- ton. The appellant acquired dry tea leaves. Nobody eats tea leaves So that what she ate was something different from what she bought. l! she had acquired drink there would have been no prosecution. It would be straining the order to say that the word food includes tea leaves

BOXING SKILL
 OF CARPENTER
 NOT IMPAIRED

NEW YORK, June 5--That Georges Carpenter, the French heavyweight, has not lost his punching or boxing skill as a result of his three years service in the army was conclusively demonstrated recently at the ex- pense of an American boxer who took ring liberties with the French pugilist. It was Sergeant Ray Will jam of the American army who tried to rough it with Carpenter in the first round of boxing exhibition at St. Afghan, Loir-et-Cher. As re. suit William was knocked out in the second round and the memory of that right swing to the chin will finger in Sergeant Williams memory for years to come.
 A crowd of more than 10000 wit messed the athletic sports at St. Afghan. General Cottez of the French army presided, with Brigadier Gen. eral Alexander and Volruth of the American army assisting. After An derson had won the hundred yards in 12 seconds, the 220 in 28 and Steele had broken the tape for the mile race in 5.34 minutes, four round, or rather what was to have been a four round boxing exhibition, was put on with the French champion Georges Carpenter and Sergeant Ray William as the contestants.
 Cheered by his friends among the spectators William started in with q rush that nearly took the French champion off his feet, he planted some heavy blows to the head and body and Carpenter was surprised; ; he had expected mere sparring eX- hibition. William had the best of the first round and was loudly ap- plauded as he went to his corner
 It was plain to all that Carpen- tier meant business when he stepped out for the second round. He feinted William into knot, jabbed him lightly in the stomach with his left which caused the American to lower his guard and crossed his right to the chin and William went down and out. The round had lasted ten seconds.
 After William came to he shook hands with Carpenter and said: q got mine, I am satisfied" Later he explained to a friend that he under stood now why they spelled it Georges" "There are so many of him." he said.

THE AIREDALE SURPRISES ALL
 DOCS FOR WAR

CHICAGO, June 5.-The Airedale, q shaggy. sad-eyed dog that gained popularity only in recent years, has convinced officers of the Central Department, Signal Corps, United States army, of it's superiority over all broods as a canine war messen ger.
 While official authorization for use of the airedale on the battlefields ol Europe has not yet been issued by the war department. schools for in tensive courses in training have beer established and officers says that reports from the various army camps show that the dogs have made re markable progress.
 "The Airedale surpasses all other dogs in point of intelligence. and al though peaceful, is also most cour ageOus," said one officer. Tests have established beyond doubt it's supcri ority over other dogs as war mes senger, particularly those used b! the German army.
 "The Airedale is cross from q bull terrier, otter hound and a Berke ley terrier. It is result of years of careful breeding and it's name. il is said, is derived from the Aire Valley of England where it origin ated.'
 The dogs now in training were either given to the Signal Corps by patriotic citizens or purchased by in terested army officers. Scores ot them with long pedigrccs and valued highly have been given and other of fers are coming in daily Females are in greater demand because ol their intelligence Methods of train ing are military secret.
 When the dogs are taken al tn, age of from ten to eighteen month, and properly developed as one-mar dogs for the Airedale is distinctly { one-man dog) no beast can equa them as war dogs" said the off cer. Their color blends perfectly with night shades. The ability o the dogs to slip quietly through bari wire entanglements without a scratch is remarkable"

FAIRBANKS
 SERIES; NENANA
 LOST SUNDAY, "A

The third and deciding game be. tween Nenana and Fairbanks was played Sunday afternoon at the park before a moderately sized crowd Fairbanks being on the long end of z to score. The weather was ideal, just enough of breeze blow. ing to keep the mosquitoes away from both spectators and players.
 The game was replete with tight situations, and should either team have blown up at critical times the game would have been cinched for the other team, so close was the scoring.
 Nenana started off the first inning by putting one over, and repeated in the second. Fairbanks put one over in the first and three in the second which was the cinching number. For the balance of the distance both teams split even on the scoring Nenana scored once in the fifth and once in the sixth, being blanked for the rest of the game. Fairbanks put one across in the sixth and two in the seventh. ..
 Hansen, for the visitors, pitched excellent ball, being credited with IA putouts, but was accorded faulty support, the errors behind him com. ing at critical times with his op- ponents taking advantage of every misplay. Had he been accorded good support the result might have been different.
 Watson, for the home team, pitched consistent ball and, although having but Six strikeouts to his credit, was given good support 1A the pinches Brigham, left field for Fairbanks was the fielding star of the game with six putouts to his credit, ac. cepting every chance which came his way and only losing one. which was a running catch and difficult Without his good work it is doubt full if the home team would have won.
 The visitors outhit the locals, mak. ing ten to the home teams eight The errors were plentiful enough some of them on hard chances, with the percentage in favor of Nenana.
 The lineup of the teams was as follows:
 Nenana-Fuelling, 3b; Anderson, c; Hansen, D; Van Houten, 2b; Taylor 1b; Doner, If; Matthews, of; Grow. den. If; Blakey, SIS. ....

ESPIONAGE ACT
 IS OPERATIVE
 AND STRINGENT

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Enact ment of the espionage act, just be- come operative, under which strin gent action may be taken against disloyalty or sedition, adds the | United States to a long list of na- | tions which have been forced by Ger. man propaganda or internal disaf lection to invoke the extreme powers of law for their existence.
 Short shrift is made, of persons in Great Britain, France, Italy and the other allied countries, who attempt to foment revolution or betray the state to the enemy. Great Britain's colonies under their system of self. government have followed the ex- | ample of their mother country in fighting disloyalty, recognizing that the liberties of the world depend on victory in the present war.
 Amendments to the war precau- | cieties. The regulations said in ed in official dispatches today, show the far-reaching steps taken by that commonwealth against SeditiOn. The Sim Fein organization is outlawed by name and drastic powers are | given to the minister of defence to close clubs or places of resort of the Sim Fen or other disaffected so. cietics. The regulations said in part:
 | Any person who, by word of mouth or in writing, or by any act or deed (a) advocates, incites or en- courages disloyalty or hostility to the British empire, or to the cause of the British empire in the presen, war; or does anything calculated to incite, encourage or assist such dis loyalty or hostility, shall be guilty of an offense against the act
 | "The minister may direct that any premises used as place of public resort, or as a club. tho use Oi 1 W HUI, III Hlo oliHioli, lS [ to the safety or the defence of the commonwealth, shall be kept closed
 Any person who wears or displays any badge, flag, banner, emblem ol symbol of country with which the king is now at war, or any body or association who are disaffected tC the British empire, or of the society association or movement known as Sim Fein, shall be guilty of an of fence against the act.
 Any officer of police and any police thereto authorized in writing by the minister may, for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this regulation, enter, if need be by force and search and occupy any premises in relation to which direction has been given under this regulation"

FLYING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
 IS REASONABLE

LONDON, June 5-Airplane trips from England to America are quite feasible by use of a machine travel ing day and night at the rate of 100 miles an hour, declared r. Handley Page, inventor of type of machine named for him, in recent state ment to the representative of the Daily Express.
 q have received cablegram from Canada congratulating me on the construction of a machine to travel to and from America" continued the inventor, but have no such ma chine on hand.
 "The trip would be from Ireland to New York, via Newfoundland, being 17.000 miles. An alternative journey to America would be via the Azores. On the steady 100-miles- an-hour basis you can compute all the long distance runs that occur to you. including weekend trips to China and Peru.
 For short distances, such as Lon don to Manchester, am not in clined to think that airplanes will take the place of railways unless in case of pressing urgency. A con- fortable flrst-class carriage of fast train will continue to be more usual course of travel. The air plane has great advantage of speed, but it has severe handicaps in the way of wind and fog and other adverse climatic conditions.
 q do not think that alter the war wealthy men will take up pri- vate motorcars. Few people can afford private yachts, and pleasure airplane would be as expensive as a yacht.
 There is no such thing as per petual safety in the air, and this is bound to have an effect on the aver age man. I am speaking of course of the immediate future only. In the long results of time there are infinite possibilities in the evolution of aviation.
 There is an immense future for aircraft as aids to the worlds pros perity, but what I call the tourist idea of round the world in forty hours leads nowhere and means nothing.
 Tn the course of time bigger ma chimes will be built with more pow erful engines to direct them, but l can see no immediate prospect of turning out airplanes that will carry as many passengers as ocean liners. We must continue to beware of hot air in airplane prophecies"

THE WAR CAME

 WE'LL AS WORK

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN FRANCE. June 5.-The young sol. dier under orders to embark for the firt time who pictures to himself a future which will be all fighting days and sees himself step from troop ship to be rushed to battle as did tho first British divisions sent to the rescue at Mons. is doomed to appointment.
 4 a matter of fact. he will spend only a small proportion of his time in the front line. and even while there, will only see actual fiehting at Iii ,.' or less rare intervals. Life will hold a good deal of base" and bill l." for him even in France,
 This time spent far behind the lin he will find irksome or pleas ans, according 10 whether his temper am mt is eager and entcrprioinl ni tho reverse. For the great majority, however, billets and base camps are vc.y pleasant. The food is excellent. work is comparatively light and anH Sements are plentiful.
 The Associated Press correspond ent aid a visit the other day to a huge artillery base camp. situated on the F!Cnch coast near some famous bathing beaches and within easy reach ol a big city. Within the camp. whicl, also serves for q large number of rN0inCcrs and some special infantry units are several theatres, the canteen., If th" British eXpedtionary force, the lounge rooms and huts of the Young Mems Christian Association and various camp institutes" and athletic grounds. Here the soldier can have a fairly comfortable and enjoyable vacation. Most of the men enjoy in" }aYied opportunities for amusement to the full. Occasionally one meets few men, probably just over from Eng land, who are impatient at every days delay in moving forward to the business end of the line" The sorgeant-major soothes them with wise words:
 Don't worry, boys" he says, there's going to be lots Of fighting in this war, enough for all of you and little over to spare
 Ii is the custom at this base, so far as artillery officers are con cerned, to distinguish between those who have not yet been up 10 the fir. ing line and those who have had their "baptsm." The former have a fairly complete program of daily drills and are kept occupied also with lectures and educational courses.
 The veterans are permitted to ! foregO these trials to a large extent They have little to do but amuse themselves with sports, theatres
