THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
OF the Vigilantes.

Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
And sapped with vile disease
Back to the land of ruined towns,
Of murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier they found
e. Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exiles came,
Young wheat green above the
Of steel and blood and flame
Round built houses where
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast.
The old were cOmforted
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel of Gods Plan .--
~ Who meets them at the heavenly gate :

By, "Trapshooter"

This" writes a magazine editor, Sis the death song of the city target, sung by the trapshooter whose alert, tense figure firmly grips his shotgun as he bites off the word that sends an involuntary thrill of expectancy through the crowd in front of trap shooting clubhouse.
 'The trap is tripped. a small saucer shaped clay target streaks through the air at pace that makes a Teal ducks flight resemble the lazy flap ping of crow.
 Like part of an automatic machine the gun jumps into action. It stiffens against the shooters shoulder for a second like the index finger of an ac- cusing hand, a flash and report fol- low one another faster than the hu- man mind can transmit the message but in that brief interval the pride of some clay target factory has been shattered to atoms.
 The judges call and the scorers entry are, made before the smoking shell hits the ground and the next gunner of this human battery of the times of peace calls for the secin6 bird and the shoot is on Sounds kind of natural, doesn't it? We have all seen them start that way"

NEW PSYcHoLo oGlcAL TEST
 FOR ALL ENLISTED MEN
To Weed Out the Mentally Unfit and
 to Classify Officers.

Washington. Jan. 20.-Application of the new psychological test to all en- listed men and newly appointed officers of the army has been ordered by the war department to aid in the task of weeding out the mentally unfit and classifying officers and men for spe- cial service or promotion. It was an-. uounced today that the chief of staff had approved the recommendation of the plan by Surgeon General Gorgas end that it would be carried out at once.
 Special buildings will be provided at each of the thirty one divisional training camps for the psychology ex- perts. A total personnel from the medical department of 27 majors, 51 captains and 54 first lieutenants 62 sergeants, 62 eorporals and 620 enlist ed men, will be necessary to man the divisional stations and provide a staff in the surgeon generals office
 A military psychological school will be established at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga. where fifty psychologists will be en- tered monthly for a minimum of two months special training.
 This plan is the outgrowth of psy- chological examinations conducted at Camps Lee and Devens, where S0,00O hien ana o,uVU OmcerS were subjected to tests devised by Major Yerkes of the medical corps, to determine their military suitability. Summarizing the results, the department announcement says:
 Approximately two per cent. of the drafted men as they appear in the l camp are so seriously defective in mental development that they are either menaces or nuisances in mili- | tary organization"

DoN'Ts FOR TRAPsHooTERs.
By HTnpshooter.n

Don't shoot too quick; get a steady line on the target and then pull the trigger.
 After you've had your shot let your gun remain unloaded until your turn to shoot comes round again.
 Don't talk to your neighbor. It's disconcerning. Keep your mind con- centrated on the, work in hand. It's essential to good scores.
 When the time comes to change places at the score don't move until the squad moves. Gives the other fellow show.
 Don't let the loss of target fluster you. You can't get them all at all times. Keep cool and get ready for the next one
 Don't get peeved when the target breaks as it leaves the trap. Take your time. Keep your eye on the trap and pulverize the target following.
 Don't blame the gun or the shells if your score is not satisfactory. Re- member that the question of person. al1ty-temperament and abiHty-enter into the sport. And it may just be your off day. Such things will occur regardless of alibis.

FURTHER DETAILS OF
 FULTON -MlsKE BOUT
Fulton Appears to Have the Better oi the Fight Although it Was An nounced a Draw.


 nouneed Draw.
 According to more detailed accounts of the Fulton -Miske bout in St. Paul Friday night it would appear that Fulton had the better of Miske in the 10-round affair despite early reports that the fight was draw.
 The big plaster had 31 pounds ad- vantage in weight and lowered ever his opponent. Miske sealed 1855 pounds, more weight than he ever before car- ried in a contest in the ring. After the second round Fulton's box ing and heavy hitting began to tell on the smaller man and he repeatedly rushed into a clinch Miske was in trouble in the third session and he began to hold from that time. He hit low repeatedly in the. third round, causing Fulton to complain to the ref cree.
 The St. Paul boy got the worst of it in the fourth, but frightened up a Dit in the fifth and sixth and held his | big opponent in the seventh and earn ed the round, but the smaller man was still strong.
 l Miske made a great rally in the ninth round after receiving much pun- l final session. Fulton's boxing was toe much for Mfske. and while the little man showed wonderful vitality, the reach and speed of his big opponent were too much for him.
 F'ulton's heavy shots caused Miske to hang on in the third round ant again in the 10th when he was in { sroggy condition, but with customary courage and generalship, he stuck tt the game till his head cleared.
 Miske was in trouble several time: during the combat, but his wonderful vitality and resourcefulness enabled him to weather the storm, especially il the 10th session.
 Miske also showed that he has on, of the strongest jaws ever seen in ring, for nunberless times Fultol landed flush on the point with crash ing force. The only effect on Misk Twas to send his head bobbing, afte

Harvard May Find Worthy Foe in
 Tioers

If Yale decides to abandon fresh man track work this winter, the Boston Athletic Association authori- ties may be able to find a worthy opponent for the Harvard freshman relay team in Princeton The Tiger freshmen will be called out by Train CT Keene Fitzpatrick and two of the candidates will be Braman Jacobs, of Needham, and Harold A. Harvey, of Exeter. Jacobs is the youth who dis played such a surprising stride in winning the handicap 600-yard run at the B. A. A. games last February, and his appearance as an anchor runner for the Princeton 1921 team against Harvard would be a most attractive feature.
 Harvey, former Exeter athlete, is the star end of last yeyar's Princeton freshman team, who received a loose ball and scored touchdown
 that paved the way to the Tigers
 team surrising victory over Yale's '21 He was captain of his class track team at Phillips Exeter, and was awarded the trophy as best all-around

"Are We Downhearted? No!"

The calamity howlers of baseball would do we'll to ponder over the fact that soccer football game played in Glasgow, Scotland, the other day drew crowd of over 50,000. This is the most convincing sort of proof that the people of warning nation want the continuance of sporting competi- tion.
 Great Britain has had over three years of war. When hostilities be- gan there was the same tendency to condemn competitive sport at unpa- triotic there. as there is in this coun- try in certain quarters now.
 Great Britain has learned that sports aid rather than hinder war preparation. She has learned. too, that sporting spectacles afford the best possible form of diversion for the people.
 The United States needs baseball now as much as ever. The attend ance the coming season at the big league games vii prove that the peo- pie not only need the game, but want it. :

In a fast game at the local Y. M. C. A. the basketball tea mfrom Fort H. G. Wright entirely outclassed the lo- cal five and won by the score of S1 to r. The army boys were by far the fastest team that has ever appeared on the local floor and while the Y. M. c. A. five did not win they put up a game fight and acquitted themselves with credit. The game was noticeable for the fine sportsmanship displayed by both the island boys and the local team.
 Leonard, captain and manager of the Fort Wright boys. was by far the speediest man on the floor and his playing was above reproach. He show ed great cleverness in his passing and signal work. Before the game, while Tuck was practicing, he struck a post near one of the baskets, cutting his forehead over the eye. Dr. Freeman attended him and took one stitch in the wound, and in spite of his injury he played an exceptional game. Rhein- frank who played right guard, had Il points to his credit. many of the scores coming on difficult shots.
 Ben Houlihan played in hard luck, being injured three times. The first time in mixup an opponent stuck uHSer III HIS eye anu the SeCOnQ I11nea he collided with another player and was put out for few minutes. The third time he ran into a post and was put out by the force of the blow. Da- | ley who is usually a star, was unable | to cage basket from the field. This Is the first time in three years that Daley has been unable to score from
 the field. F. Williams also put up an
