Junior lawn tennis is in for another
healthy boost, this time in BROOKLYN.
and the movement, to be sponsored by
the Terrace Club, of Flatbush. will do
much TO advance the game and develop
the quality of play among our younger
set. 1t is Just these generous actions
on the part Of the lawn tennis clubs
in the metropolitan district that are
impetus 1t has ever received.
The Terrace Club, which has a dozen
or more most excellent clay courts at
Avenue j and East Fifteenth Street,
Flatbush, at its annual meeting on
March II is going to put through IA
pIan for the taking into mem bersh p
of fifty selected junior players be-
tween the ages Of fifteen and twenty
years, resident in Brooklyn and the
outlying districts. These boys will be
entitled to Il special junior rate, with
the privilege Of playing on the courts
from April ! to October 81 each sea-

Not satisfied with this. the Terrace
Cyub is making arrangements to hold
q continuous series Of tournaments for
the Juniors throughout The season. all
OF which means that Brooklyn will oc-
cupy Il prominent place on the courts
before another seuson fits by. Boys
like Harold Taylor, Gerald jr.. and Ce-
ell Donaldson and Percy Kynaston, to
mention only 81 few, nre certain to re-
pay such attention from the Terrace
Club by the splendid showing they will
make in competition. We hcpe the idea

been improving their positions in local
operations.
The allied troops i'm an attack be-

strengthen the important section of

London-The Allied defense on the
Flanders front to the southwest OF
Ypres has again been tested by the
Germans and has been found adequate.
Two divisions of Teuton troops were
employed on a relatively short front
and were sent into the fight under
cover of terrific artillery fire.
The front chosen for the attack ex-

Voormezeele but the center OF the as
sault seems to have been at Verstratet,
a hamlet northwest of KENNEL hill.
The fianks of the German attacking
line were stopped short by fire from
French and British artillery posted on
high ground and which was able to en-
filade the German regiments as they
tried 10 advance.
In the center, however, the Germans
made quite a serious dent in the AL

Washngton-Th features are out
standing in the railroad wage increase

flt.
Individual increases run from
few dollars to $34 a month.
The decision is based on the in
creased cost of living.
Director General McAdoo is expect
ed to adopt only part of the commits
sion's recommendation and probably
will make a number OF different align
ments in deciding what increases shall
be granted.
II the director general should allow
the wages proposed by the board. the

 MT. Benny is employed by the Gen. eral Securities Investment Corpora ton of Phoenix, Arizona and has been in Clifton the past three weeks sell ing oil stocks of the Arizona Oil and Refining Company.
 The Fl Paso recruiting officers re- piled to Mr. Benny as follows:
 q. Replying to yours of Dec. 3Oth with regard to enlistment you are ad- vised that Arizona is not in our ter ritory, but is supposed to be covered by recruiting service men of the Los Angeles Station. We understand there is recruiting station in Phoe- nix. branch of the Los Angeles Sta tion.
 2. If you will apply at that station it is very likely you could pass the physical examination and enter the service, regardless of yur unusual weight. If the examiner should find your muscles firm and your health good he would probably feel justified in accepting you for enlistment.
