ONE THING TO ENLIST;
ANOTHER IS TO STICK
Three Prominent New York Golfers
Given Their Discharge OF
Account of Illness.

NEW YORK, February 2.-H's one
thing to enlist in Uncle Sans service
and quite another thing to stay there.
In this respect golfers are having their
good intentions stymied by unforeseen
happenings. and at the present time
three amateurs well known hereabouts
are on the sick list.
1t will be recalled that early in the
winter Fred Herreshof Joined the ord
nance department, and a little later,
when up the state, contrcted a severe
cold, which developed into pneumonia.
Herreshef was removed to a hospital
in Troy, where little hope was enter
tained for his recovery. After lowering
between life and death for several days
the former metropolitan champion
turned the corner, and. according to
the latest advices. is slowly regaining
his strength.
1t was back in 1904. when a lad in
his teens. that Herreshof first spranS
into prominence by reaching the final
round Of the national amateur cham
pionship tournament at Baltusrol He
lost to II. Cha Egan. From that
time on Herreshoff was always a factor
in competitive golf. but it was not until
1911 that he flashed to the fore in
manner calculated to place his earlier
performance in total eclipse.

FUNCTIONS ARE UNCHANGED
ALIEN PROPERTY CUSTODIAN
CONTINUES HIS WORK.
Persons Having Custody or Control Of
Enemy Belongings Must
Make Report.

Washington, Nov. 21.-A. Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian, in a
statement said the signing of the ar
mistice does not change his functions
or affect his policies in any way
-.The United States and Germany"
said Mr.. Palmer, "are still at war, and
the trading with the enemy act is still
in force. The alien property custodian
will, therefore, continue to perform
the duties which that act lays upon
him, and will carry out the evident
intent of the Congress with relation
to enemy property until peace shall
be proclaimed.
LAS long as the trading with the
enemy act is in force, it remains the
duty of all persons having the custody
or control of enemy property in this
country to make report thereof to the
alien property custodian. Despite the
fact that the time for making these
reports has long since expired, re-
ports are still coming to this Office and
there is much property in the coun-
try not yet reported.
Attention is called to this fact be-
cause persons having the custody of

UNITED STATES.
MORE HELP WILL BE NEEDED
After Two Years or More Of Outdoor
Life in the Army Many Returning
Soldiers May Prefer Farming
to Office or Factory.

New York, Nov. 81. - Preparations
for great expansion of business at
home and abroad is the present prob
lem of the United States, said Allen
Walker, manager of the foreign de-
partment of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce., discussing the
transitional period from war to peace
through which America is now going.
To insure this expansion abroad Mr..
Walker emphasized the necessity for
the United States industrialists to
maintain the same spirit of unselfish
cooperation that marked Americas s
participation in the war rather than
to go back to the old methods of in
Will Need More Help.
q Because of world wide demand for
what the United States can produce,
he said, there will not be a curtail-
ment of manufacturing or an employ
ment problem due to the ending of the
war. The factories now turning out
war orders will be equipped as never
before to compete with foreign pro-
ducers, and will require not alone
what labor they now employ, but will
need more help as our world trade
grows.
Another element which will make
gradual the dilution of labor by the
returning ranks of soldiers, Mr.. Wal.
ker believes, is the plan of the gov.
ernment to afford the men an oppor-
tunity to engage in farm work.
After two years or more of the out
door life in the army it is logical to
conclude these men will prefer farm
work to office or factory work. said
Mr.. Walker.
Depends on Government Policies.
The extent to which the foreign
trade of the United States will be ex'
tended to meet the facilities of our
manufacturers and with what enthu
siasm the industrialists will pursue
foreign trade will depend on govern
ment policies on finance, on labor
costs, shipping and the maintenance
of the established national ideals, Mr..
Walker declared.
What men high in power will say
in the next weeks or months will
largely determine the economic con
ditions of the future. There should
be declared policy of the United
States as to where we stand on the
question of foreign finance. Financiers
must feel that their activities abroad
will be unrestricted.
