PLANS
FOR THE TROOPS
Y. II. G. A. Athletic Direc-
tor viii Establish Inter
camp Leagues.

Already well known and immensely
liked by the several thousand soldier
boys who rendezvous at what has
been the main "Y'' building at Fort
Bliss. the rest Of the FL Paso camps
will be interested to know that H L
Osborne, who has been organizing
athletic activities at Bliss for the
past few weeks. has just been ap-
pointed TO the executive leadership
Of 'Y' athletic interests throughout
the whole district, and is now taking
hold Of his new esponsibilities with
the intention Of developing some
nightly interesting schedules Of IN
ter-camp and inter-regimental con-
tests in basketball, baseball and other
outdoor sports. Already at Fort Bliss
director Osborne, through the hearty
cooperation OF regimental officers,
has brought into being a preliminary
league of basketball fans, which bids
fair to enroll every crack player at
the Fort
Inter-Camp Athletics.
The next plan for Mr.. Osborne IS to
organize an inter-camp baseball assO-
citation among men who are just
laundering after a 1918 seasons round
Of strenuous work upon the army dia-
mond- Reports are that a host OF
men are already lining up IOr Inls
popular recreation
One Of the optimistic features Of
the new athletic program is the as
surance that some very material in
crease Of equipment will soon be
available in practically every one Of
the more popular amusements.
It will be Of interest to FL Paso
men that secretary Osborne has a
record Of notable athletic achieve
ment, coming directly here from
Phoenix, Ariz., where he has been in
charge OF physical work and military
Instruction both in the local ''Y'' there
and in the nourishing Phoenix high
school. He Is a graduate OF the Uni
versity of Kansas, where he starred
throughout his course in various ath-
letic lines and had the special priv
ilege OF studying in his chosen field
under the tutelage OF no less a man
than director Naysmith. who was at
the time head of the department Of
physical education in that university.
Many Of cur readers do not need to
be reminded OF the fact that Nay
smith, besides being one OF the most
notable physical leaders in the Amer
lean college world, was one Of the
three men who were responsible for
the invention OF the game Of basket
ball less than a quarter OF century
ago.

TOO MANY LIGHTS.

Editor FL PaSO Herald.

served a few business houses either
deliberately or thoughtlessly violating
the fuel ordinance. which carries the
request to shut off as many lights as
possible on certain nights.
On Mesa avenue a certain cigaE
store had three glaring globes burn
ing in one small showcase. where one
globe would have been amply suf-
ficient to display the fact to people
that cigars were sold there.
A confectionery store appeared to
have every available light burning
and believe me. it has quite a number.
I an convinced that several lights in
omitted without any loss whatever
to the proprietor or without creating
such darkness that customers would
be unable to locate their mouths with
their spoons.
On Texas street a fruit stand was
ablaze with glaring electricity, in
addition to one large arc light in the
center Of the establishment. which is
sufficient to light the entire place.
especially during lightless nights
There were at least ten other glazing
globes burning to their hearts con-
tent

drastic order

would be drift toward Dictatorship
or Bolshevism. While giving credit
tc the present government, he said
the people must be fair to the men
who preceded the present cabinet in
office and who made ultimate success
possible. He praised Niscount Hal

Niscount Miner, Secretary of state
fer War; Colonel Winston Spencer
Churchill. Minister of Munitions;
Lord Kitchener, Premier Lloyd George
and Walter Runciman, former Tinan-
cial Secretary to the Treasury and
Liberal member of Parliament for
Dewsbury. Viscount Grey said that
even the success these men had
achieved would have been impossible
without the support of former Pre-
mier Asquith.
Speaking on relations after the war
between Great Britain and the United
states, Niscount Grey said:
If there is competition in naval

relations. What is desirable in our
