SOLDIERS CELEBRATE.
NATIONS BICYCLE WEEK.
Races VIII Be Feature Of
Observance at Many Army
Training Camps

National Bicycle Week, May 4 to IL
viii probably he celebrated at a mum.
Der of the military cantonmentsas well
as in more than 1000 cities and town.
in the United States and Canada.
! An effort is being made by the Unit
ed Cycle Trade Directorate, under thf
auspices of which bicycle week is be.
ing held, to obtain permission for the
soldiers in training at the various camps
to hold bicycle races during the week
The secretary Of war viii be asked to
authorize camp commanders to sanction
The holding of track and road races at
or near the camps.
While great many wheels are in us2
at the military camps, it will probably
| be necessary to ask eivilion riders in
nearby cities to loan their wheels in or.
der to admit as many soldiers as will
wish to compete.
Since the bieycle-Tacing season open
ed in Newark, N. j., it has been dis.
covered that many of the crack riders
who eompe ed last year have been call.
ed to serve in the army, and they are
distributed throughout the camps. 1t is
likely they can be utilized as officials
Of the military bicycle races as it would
not be fair to the soldiers to permit
expert racing men to compste.
The military races must be held pure
| ly for the physical development of the
men the same as other army sports are
conducted.
1t is not likely that any prizes will
be allowed. Prizes are not desirable in
military athletics.
The military authorities are interest
ed in locating good wheelmen as the
government has ordered thousands of
"Liberty Bicycles" for the establish
mnnt of wheeling corps in France.
Races during National Bicycle Week
could thus be helpful to the military
authorities in picking men to serve in
such organizations.
The bicycle has proved invaluable in
tho present war and expert wheelmen
are in great demand in Europe. Bicycle
corps are used for the advance guards
and at the head Of shock troops. There
are also thousands of bicycle couriers
for dispatch work across country where
the motorcycle is useless and for the
distribution of mail, along the front.
Medical men are taught , ride and
the first-aid surgeons employ the BIZ
cycle to great advantage, carrying their.
emergency kits in special cases fitted
to the frame of the wheel.
The Italian troops are equipped with
ordinary and also with folding bicycles
which are carried, when crossing rough
country, like pack ON ibo back.
In many ways, the bicycle has enter.
ed into the war and for this reason
Bicycle Week can easily be turned to
good advantage by our men in train.

through the hills, occasionally going
through village. The food was bad
and the water worse. Finally, after
ten days, we were allowed to commu-
nicate with railroad men at Yuhsien,
and got some canned food for our
selves. We were then forced to write
a letter to the magistrate at Yuhsien
saying that our heads would be chop
Il ped off unless troops, who by that time
were in pursuit, were held off.
"The next day they marched us
through a village where 900 people
turned out to watch us. As soon as we
got through, the bandits turned and
fired into the crowd. We later learned
that about 25 people were killed. Chao
explained to us that these people had
fired ON his band several days before.
"We knew nothing Of the terms of
our ransom," Purcell said, Except
that Chao told us he hoped to recruit
10000 men and get enough guns and
ammunition to supply them.
''Lt was on March 25 that we were
awakened by shots. Piekets reported
that 500. soldiers had arrivd.
"Kyle, WI and wero rushed across
a valley to some rocky hills. We lay
there most Of the day while intermit-
tent shooting went on below US.
''Our guards finally tried to break
through with us and get past the
troops. We started down the hill on
the run. The bandits split into three
groups, and this was where we became
separated from Kyle. Our bandit
guards were deserting WI and / one
by one, and finally there was only ono
of them left. We easily pursuaded him
to go with us and surrender to the sol
diers.
"Three days later we were in Yuh-
sien. The following day we heard that
the bandits intendea to kill Kyle un-
less the soldiers were withdrawn.
since learned, however, that he was
surrendered when the bandits were
hard pressed by the troops"

and are also the worlds largest pro ducer of coal, our exports are much less than those of certain other eoan- tries having a much smaller supply. Great Britain's coal exports in 1913, the largest normal year, amounted to S2,00O, GOO short tons and Germany's s about 37 poo 000 short tons, while the United States in the fiscal year 1913 exported but about 23,009,000 short tons. Since the beginning of the war however, our coal exports have shown a. slight increase, having been in 1917 about 20 per cent. more than in 1913, while those of Great Britain mean time declined and those of Germany were, of course. confined to trade with the adjacent neutral countries. Ths total value of coal exported from the United States in the fiscal year 1911 was $S3, ,000,000 against sS5,00o,O00 in 1913; Of this SS5, 900, o00 worth export ed in 1917, $5S 00Q,000 went to Canada, S5. .0eO, GOO to Cuba, about S1,0d0,0 ,06o to South America and $35e, ,0eo,ea0 to Italy.
 The quantity of coal consumed on the ocean of the world by vessels en- gagged in international trade and the navies of the various countries is es- timated by the Bank at about T5 0eo.- 000 tons per annunl, valued at, approXt- mately S250, ,O00. coo, these figures sre- lating to conditions preceding the war. The total quantity at the present time is doubtless materially less, both. by reason of the reduction in the number of vessels engaged in ocean transpert- atien and the further fact that many of the vessels are now using oil for fuel instead of eoA

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE. The MyrkIe. Harder Company.


 It was a crowded house which vel eohed n no uncertain terms the re- turn of the Myrkle- Harder company to the Davis theatre Monday afterneen and evening for a. weeks engagement, To say that their fame bad preceded them might not be as true as that they had lived in memory like old friends tried and true.
 H Many people having seen their open ing play, Common Clay, in the larger cities, with Miss Jane Cewl in the leading role, were ready to criticize any inferior production, but this was impossible of this splendidly balanced company. Miss Myrkle proved her ability to interpret the strong situa- uons of a strong play and not only acted but lived the part which she has apparently given thorough study. The court room scene was especially stfenS, holding the audience tense for every climax which so aptly sustGsed the. title that all are common clay. the "colonel's lady and Judith O'Grady are sisters under the skin"
 Many others of the cast, which com pEssed old faNerites and some new faces, had roles enabling them to pre- sent some strong work. Jack Berth, is, an able support of Miss ATyPIxla at- all times, although Common Clay does 4ot afford him an oppertsnity to display the full measure of his eanabiiity which the other plays of the week will give him.
 Nella Russetf's portrayal of the sup- posed mother in the witness box was splendi, as was. Ralph Brady's eharae- teFizatioh of Judge Fiison "en the heights where the air is pure.s It would be unfair to- pass by P. s Whitman, who as Arthur.
