Anzac Colonel Wounded and Or.
dered Home Enhsts and
Fights Again.
IS RECOGNIZED IN FRANCE
General Sends for Him and Gives
Him Commission - Decorated
With Order ct st. Michael
and st. George.


Australian infantry who was wound
ed in the Galltpoii campaign and sent
back to Australia, but who concealed
his rank and re-enlisted as private
to serve with the Australians IN
France, has added to the esteem in
which Australians are held in London.
Col. Charles Melville Mac Naghten,
the hero of the story, is hailed as a
man of gallantry and grit.
He was the son of Sir Melville Mac
Naghten, chief Of the criminal investi-
CATION department of Scotland yard,
says the Daily Mail, and was praetic-
ing law in Australia when the war be-
gan. He was the major in command
OF the First brigade which landed at
Anzac Cove On Gallipoh peninsula.
Within two days he was wounded
three times. After recovery in Eng
land he returned to Gallipeli and led
his battalion in their immortal charge
at Lone Pine.
After the evacuation of Gahipei he
served for q time IN Egypt and was
sent from there to England, suffering
from wounds and fever. Surgeons re-
fused him permission to return to ac-
tive service, and he was sent to AUS
tralia as second in command OF an
Australian training camp.
One day he slipped away from the
camp and jeiRed replacement bat
talon in Queensland under the name
of Charles Melville, and seen after
ward was back ia England training On
Salisbury plain rs Private Melville.
He was quickly promoted to be cor
poral, and one day was asked by his
commanding officer:
Corporal, do yea think you eeuld
drill this company"
Having cemnaaded a brigade, the
corporal put the company through its
PAGES like the veteran he was.
Recognized by omeers.
Back in France again, he was rec
ognized by officers whe had known
him in Gallipoli as the daring and
brilliant tsoldier they had called
"Fighting Mac" General Birdwood.
with whom he had served at Lone
Pine, sent for him and gave him a
commission. Not long afterward
Colonel Mac Naghten was again sent
as an invalid to England, where he
was summoned to Buckingham palace
to receive frem the king decoration
as q companion of the order of st.
Michael and st. George, which had
been conferred upon him several
years before for his gallantry at Gal
lipoli.
While serving in the ranks In
France as Corporal Melville" he had
been personally congratulated by the
commanding general for valor at
Messines ridge.
Mac Naghten's fighting days are
now over and he is compelled to rec
Ognize this fact, for, as one of his
men put it, che is riddled like a
colander and it is only his fighting
spirit which keeps him alive"

After-T The-War Problems
Affect Telephone Service

The reconstruction problems which confront all
telephone companies and which seriously affect
your telephone service are not confined solely to
the operating features Of the business
The difficulty we are experiencing In building
up an enlarged operating force to handle the In
creased traffic load is equally serious among our
male employees, particularly in the lant organi-
zation.
More than $50 Of our most skilled, trained,
technical men volunteered for service in the army
and the majority of them are still in Europe Very
few have returned, and we cannot expect the ball
ance to return soon Few men of this type have
been available and those we are training by no
means equal our demand This shortage Of expe-
rienced men hampers Our extensions and delays
installations.
Certain features of our work can be done only
by experienced, technical men and often when we
had equipment on hand we could not secure suf-
fcient labor to install it promptly. This has been
true m the simple matter Of installing and moving
telephone stations.
The delays and nconveniences have proved an
noYng to our subscribers and have been reflected
in our service. We are striving in every way
known to our experience to overcome and pre-
vent them
Although the stress Of actual warfare is over,
the problems cf reconstruction cause the situation
confronting Cur service to be more serious than
when fighting was IN progress. We deem it our
duty to make this frank statement so you will un-
derstand why our service has not returned to its
standard of pre-war efficiency =
We are operating the telephone system as
agents for the federal government under the SUI
pervision of the Postmaster General, and our loyal
organization is making patriotic effort 10 perfect
the service. Your continued cooperation and ea-
couragement will be appreciated.

TEDDY ANDERSON PROVES
 SEASONS TENNIS s.FIND''
 MOST DANGEROUS PLAYER

Anderson appears to be one of the fastest players in this section of the country. He indicated this during the national indoor championship tournament at the Seventh Regime ent Armory when he held the great Will liam T. Tilden 2d to within a stroke of the match. From the manner in which the young star is progressing 1t would not be at all surprising if he encountered s. Howard Voshell, a former champion. in the final for the title and trophy.
 R. Norris Williams 2d has occupied a place as an interesting lawn ten his player since his advent in this country in 1912. The fact that he was an American, born at Geneva, Switzerland, and educated abroad, where he had learned the game of the courts added something romantic to his background. Like most of the reat players. Williams. had begun at the early age of 12 yeara Then in 1914. as the climax of the season and following a very bad showing by him in the Davis Cup matches, Williams amazed the world by beating Maurice B. Mclaughlin for the national cham pionship title at Newport.
 The last important appearance that Williams made on the courts here was at Forest Hills in 1917, immedi- ateyl before his sailing for France as . laeutenanf o3 xti1lery. From thxt nc xooa te fh9 0e

N MANY respects the playing of
 the youthful Theodore Anderson
 furnishes the outstanding fea- ture of the Long Island championship singles tournament. Anderson, it will be mbered, Is the fast playing junior who fairly dazzled and electri- fled the veterans last season by his remarkable line of victories. One of these was the winning of the Long Island>title on the courts of his homo club, the old Kings County Lawn Tennis Club. Brooklyn. AS playing through champion Anderson Is show ing the courage he possesses and the good qualities of his game.
 There Is no doubt whatsoever that the youngster's game is best adapted to hard courts. That is readily un- derstood, for he learned his methods upon tho hard clay surfaces upon which he is now competing. He knows how to shoot over the service in a way that compels an opponent to give ground, and in addition he also exhibits one rare trait for fast ser- ver; he follows up the service to the net swiftly; hut without foot fault.

 He is about six feet, but not hunky. Out in Toledo they all say a good word for him. At the time the writer was there the town was literally damned with persons who wanted the referees job. which commands a sal ary of S5,000. Willard had not arrived at Toledo yet, but Dempsey had been there about a week. I asked Jack kearns how he liked Record as referee and Jack answered: "Well, I'm not fussy. So long as the man knows his business. Is honest and fair and physi- cally capable am perfectly satisfied. In fact. anything that Tex RJckard does is O. K. so far as Dempsey and I are concerned"

THE APPOINTMENT of ollie Pe-
 1 cord of Toledo as referee of the Jess willard-Jack Dempsey bout In that city on next Friday afternoon was not voluntary. The appointment was made as a special favor to the than anything else.
 When Tex Rickard and his asso- ciates first laid down their working kits in Toledo they conferred with Mayor Schrieber regarding the referee question. The Mayor informed them, as ex-officio of the Boxing Commis- sion. that there was a provision in the rules making it compulsory that only c local referee be used to officiate in any bout staged in Toledo.
 But, said Mayor Schreiebr, at the time fnasmuch as the Willard-Demp- oey bout was one fin which the entire world was interested he would see to it that the provision was suspend ed so that some nationally known referee could be imported to Toledo to offiofate. When this agreement be- came known publicly a loud howl developed with the result that the Mayor and boxing commission were compelled to reconsider matters.
 So persistent became the unfeeling omong Toledo patrons of boxing that the Boxing Commission appealed to Promoter Rickard to accept Ollie Pe- cord, the local official. Rickard and Willard were reluctant. but Jack Dempsey and his manager Jack kearns. were perfectly willing to &C., om,.- date the commissioners. In fact. Jack has always been ready to make any sort of sacrifice so long as he got an opportunity of meeting the champion fin the ring.
 Willard insisted that 1t was unfair to him to wish a referee about whom he knew nothing. Rickard finally consented, but not until last Tuesday did Jess agree to the appointment, provided the Army. Navy and Civilian Board for the control of boxing, ap- proved him. However, Jess did not surrender until after the Mayor threatened to call off the whole affair if he insisted on Ignoring the wishes of the public which had been kind enough to invite him to box in rnn, city. For that reason and that alone Willard gave in and finally accepted NOllie Record.
