 This is noble and inspiring record. We touch our hats, better, take them off It is impossible to think of these glorious youths without profound emotion or to speak of them without tears.

 dispatch from the other side declares that an order sent out to a division of German soldiers from headquarters described position which 1t was to defend at any cost, and soemnly concluded by saying "There is where you to die.'
 It makes ones heart stop beating, to read these grim and fateful words four thousand miles away from the sounds and sights of the battlefield What then must it be to hear them from the lips Of a Captain a Colonel while standing in the trenches and waiting the enemy onset?
 The place where these boys in khaki are to die is at the line of their farthest advance! They do not mean to be driven backward, whether by infan- try artillery cavalry, by shot she'll by gas or tank. What they have taken they are determined to hold and to seize what they do not now possess

 However, while the published rumors concerning the attitude of the House Elections Committee No. 1 unofficial and based largely conjecture, the fact is that the committee never unanimous, and it has never taken final action authorizing report. Further than that, it is not known what the port of the committee will be. Yet further, fur ther hearing has been suggested by members of the committee and, far known, action has been taken the request.

SHOCKER MAY RETURN.

Urban Shocker, the former Yankee
finger, who spitballed the Nationals
into submission yesterday on the eve
of his departure to report to his local
draft board. may not be lost to the
Browns after all. Shocker's position
is limilar in many respects to that of
Earl Yingling, in that he signed q
waiver Of deferred classification in
filing out his QUESTIONABLE without
even reading it. Shocker said last
night before he left for Detroit that
he has no desire to evade military
service and that he strongly disap-
proves the action Of several noted
bail players in entering shipbuilding
plants, but feels some doubt as to
whether he should be placed in class
IA, considering his family status and
the fact that he has three brothers in
the service.
Shocker clearly deserved victory
over the Nationals yesterday. He al
lowed only four hits and would have
escaped with but one run charged
against him had Sisler not foozled q
ridicnlously easy tap from Shanks'
bat that was followed by Morgan's
double and a single by Foster. Shot
ton reached second in the opening
