PUBLICITY
URGED FOR TENNIS
GAME COULD BIZ BOOSTED BY
COOPERATION WITH THE
NEWSPAPERS

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The
appointment of Paul B. Williams as
field secretary for the National
Lawn Tennis association was
brought about by the discovery that
the development of the game could
be significantly accelerated by an
intelligent distribution of tennis
news. according to a sport writer.
and advices from various sources
indicate that the innovation has re-
suited in some real cooperation
with the daily papers in the dissem-
ination of the results of tourna-
ments to readers who are tennis en-
thusiasts.
The writer, commenting on the
matter. says: THE daylight saving
law. while unq~uestionably a boon to
every form of summe sport, has
added another problem to the
troubles of the editor, who must
have his sporting page ready for the
morning editions by IL o'clock. With
half a dozen tournaments going on
simultaneously it is impossible to
gather the news except by telephone,
as the regular reporter can be pres
ent only at one or two events in
the course of a day.
I'm order to secure adequate rep
resentation in the daily tennis news
the clubs themselves must take the
initiative and assist the papers in
every way possible to secure reli-
able information. If a tennis club
wants members and prestige it can
secure both through publicity for
the tournaments given under its
auspices and at the same time add
considerably in the spread of tennis
enthusiasm.
THE best results can be obtained
! only if a member Of every tourna-
ment committee Is given Tie uoiiii'o
responsibility of supplying the news
papers with all necessary informa-
ton, both before and during the
event"
That the same practice should
work to the advantage of golf clubs
and other athletic organizations
staging events also is suggested by
sport writer's.

FINDING A JOB
FOR VACATION PERIOD

Loren Patrick. son of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. G. Patrick, is spending his school
vacation in Goldfield and has en-
barked in business for this period.
Loren will clean and polish your au-
tomobile, will call for it and deliver
it, and Loren knows most OF what
there is to know about al automo-
bile.
And this prompts the suggestion
that the boy who finds something
useful to do in his vacation periods
generally gets there in his later
periods. Those are the years in
which the work habit is most easily
and most e~nduringly formed. There
are lots of useful things that boys
can do in vacation periods and the
boy who "a find them and tackle
them is the boy who is most fire.
|uuently heard of in later years.

S. HELPING
RUSSIANS IN
GERMANY
HALF MILLION PRISONERS OF
WAR GIVEN NEW
SPIRIT

PARIS. July 1S.-Half a million
Russians in Germany who formerly
we're prisoners of war have been
lifted out of dependency within
the last four months, partly by a
course of training in American
ideals. American sports and Ameri-
can spirit, said Major James A. Bah
bitt. of Philadelphia, when he re-
turned recently from Germany on
his way to the United States.
Major Rabbit is a professor in
Haverford college and a OF
the American football rules commit
tee. He was chief of the bureau of
medical and surgical relief for the
American Red Cross in Germany
and visited nearly all the camps
where Russian prisoners were in
termed.
1--WE found the Russian war pris-
oner in a state of complete lassi-
tude, mentally and physically he
said. ''They had spent four years
in the neglect and misery of German
internment camps. 1t was enough
to break the strongest mans spirit.
Their own country had forgotten
them and no word had come from
their relatives and friends. There
was no future in Germany nor hope
of anything better in their own
country Hundreds of thousands of
Russians who had fought valiantly
for the allied cause were slowly
dying from depression, mental mac
tivity and physical malnutrition.
1--WE put them to school like
children. Athletic games we're in
tr6duced into the camps and these
stimulated the prisoners physically
while motion pictures and other
mental ~recreations frightened their
dull hours. Their hospitals were
provided with every needed medical
and surgical requisite. The camps
were organized under the command
Of the American army personnel.
They began to take on a new physi-
cal aspect and the men showed
signs of returning life and courage.
Although they at first regarded us
with suspicion, this vas soon
changed and they looked upon us as
friends. They formed camp com
mittees which brought all their
needs, grievances and fears to u
attention"

FRENCH LABOR NOT TO
GO ON GENERAL STRIKE
HIGH PRICES SAID TO BE DUE
TO CASUALTIES IN
WAR

PARIS, July 19.-The executive
committee of the general federation
of labor has announced that it has
decided to rescind the order for a
general strike Monday. The change
of plans was caused by a vote in
the chamber of deputies condemn
ing the governments economic pol
icy, which showed the chamber had
heard the voice of the working
classes, the announcement said.
The vote condemning the govern
ment's economic policy in the cham
Der of deputies was 227 to 213, and
ictor BOret, food minister, declared
after the session that he would re-
sign. Minister Boret, replying to
he charges that the government is
responsible for the increased cost of
living, said the increase was largely
because of lack of firmness in deal
ing with food profiteers, insufficient
efforts to stimulate production and
inefficient distribution.
Boret said the lower cost of living
in other allied countries is due
largely to the fact that Frances loss
in the war was greater and led to
a reduction in her producing ca
pacity. One million and a half
workers are dead, he said.

COMMUNICATION WAY.
TO USE WIRELESS AND
CABLE IS SUGGESTED
SEATTLE CHAMBER OF COM.
MERGE INVESTIGATING POS
SIBIILTY OF SCHEME

SEATTLE. Wash, July 1S.-Es-
Enlistment of a trans-Pacific com
munication route in alternate cable
and wireless Jumps" following
roughly the Great Circle steam
ship route of the Alaskan coast and
across to Japan has been advocated
by Lieutenant Colonel B. o. Lenoir,
Seattle, officer in charge of the
cable and wireless system operated
by the United States army signal
corps men between Seattle and
Alaska.
Congestion on the trans-Pacific
cable and wireless systems has
caused Seattle's chamber of COM
merce to investigate the possibility
of establishing a new line of COM
munication between the northwest
and the Orients The suggestion of
the Jump" route along the Alaska
coast was made 10 the chamber by
Colonel Lenoir.
The present military cable be-
tween Seattle and Southeastern and
southwestern Alaska probably could
be a part of the system proposed
by Colonel Lenoir. Messages filed
from here to the Orient owe the
1ian yrnnld ta cont mr., tho lilo m
Valdez or some other southwestern
Alaska town.
From the end OF the cable, prob
ably at Valdez. the messages would
be relayed by wireless out along the
Alaska peninsula to Attu Island, q
dot of land on the map far out on
the end of the Aleutian string.
Attu would take the messages off
the radio and send them to Japan
believes could be laid along the
japanese coast from Yokohama 10
the end of the Aleutian Islands.
Erection OF wireless stations at
Valdez and on Attu Island. and the
laying OF the Attu-Japan cable
would be necessary The line from
Seattle to Valdez is already down
and working daily.
BY using a cable from Attu west.
according to Colonel Lenoir. delays
at relay points would be avoided to
a large extent. lie pointed out that
if over the entire distance to the
Orient messages were handled ex-
clusively b. wireless stations con-
siderable delay would occur because
of one station interfering with an
other while sending or receiving.
There is some difficulty in sending
and receiving radio messages at the
same station at the same time. The
same rule would work on the east
ern cable end of the proposed sys-
TEN.

CHAIN OF OUTPOSTS
GUARD MEX BORDER
BUILT LIKE BLOCK HOUSES OF
WESTERN FRONTIER
DAYS

Ell PASO, Texas, July 19.-Like
the chain of forts built in the days
of the Indians to guard the staked
plains and the southwest from raids
by marauding bands of savages, the
United States army is building per-
manent outposts along the Mexi-
can border to prevent incursions by
armed bands of Mexican bandits
across the border. These will ex-
tend from the Pacific to the mouth
of the Rio Grande at Brownsville,
Texas. and will be garrisoned by de-
tachments OF infantry and cavalry
from the southern department.
Construction work is in progress
on these permanent outposts in the
Ell Paso district, including the Big
Bend sub-district of Texas and the
sub-district of New Mexico. In the
Big Bend, where many Mexican
raids have occurred, these outposts
are being built like the block
houses VI lIOlIllSl ouyo ~
trenches surrounding the low adobe
and concrete buildings, built in the
form of a quadrangle to give the
best possible defensive protection.
At Palvo, Ruidosa BEDFORD, Glen
Springs and Vado Piedra these out
posts are being constructed under
the direction of Colonel George
.Langhorne, commander of the sub
base. A cantonment also is being
built at Maria, Texas, GO miles
from the border, to serve as head
quarters for the outposts.
In the Ell Paso district proper an
outpost is being built at the Santa
Fe street approach to the interna-
tional bridge to Juarez. This will
house the dismounted cavalry bridge
guards who inspect everything sent
to Mexico. At Ysleta. Fabens, Fort
Hancock and Sierra Blanca, Texas,
similar buildings Will be erected for
the patrols and attachments guard
ing the fords from Mexico. All will
be plastered with cement on the eX-
terror and will have stables for cav
airy horses, electric lighting sys-
tens, running water, shower baths
and modern mess kitchens. A can
torment is being built of brick at
Fort Bliss to house the reserve
troops for these outposts which will
include 10 men and four officers
each.
Outpost buildings along the New
Mexican border will be constructed
of lumber from Camp Cody, n. NJ,
and unused material purchased for
other environments during the war.
The headquarters will be located at
Columbus with outposts al Hachita,
The Corner Ranch, Slaughter's
Ranch and other strategic points
along the New Mexico border. Each
outpost will cost approximately
$500 and will be built under the
supervision of the FL Paso division
quartermaster's office.
Branch depots of the zone sup
ply depot in FL Paso will also be
built along the border tV supply
these outposts and truck wagon and
pack trains organized to carry sup
plies. ordnance and forage for the
isolated border outposts along the
Rio Grande.

THREE MONTHS SERVICE
FOR COUNTRY'S YOUTH
WadswOrth Proposes That Lenth Of
Training for Those Who are 19
Years of Age

Washington, April Sth-Universal
military service of a mild form which
will cause little disturbance in the in
dustrial and home life of the nation
is to be urged by Senator James W.
Wadsworth, of New York, who in the
next congress is to be chairman of the
senate committee on foreign affairs.
This service, according to the plans
of the senator, which may be modified
by his colleagues, is to consist Of three
months of rigorous training for every
physically fit and dependent free lad
in the United States who reaches the
age of nineteen. There are a million
such youths every year and it is cal
culated that about 100000 would be
eligible. The senator urges that the
war has proven that such training
given in the summer would be ample
to put the private soldier in shape
for any situation into which he might
be called in the future. The expense
would be much less than that of more
lengthy and onerous service heretofore
proposed. The environments already
built would be used and thus full adj
vantage be taken of the machinery
constructed for the war against Ger
many.
Immediately after the short service
the senator, himself a veteran of the
Spanish war, is of the opinion that
all such youths should become part
of regiment accredited to their home
localities, respectively. They would
then be enabled to fight in the future
side by side with theinr townsmen.
The numbers of regiments which have
served with distinction would be re-
tanned and the members would form
in effect a national guard. Maneu-
vers would be held every two years.
The senator believes that a regular
standing army of about 100000 men,
raised by voluntary enlistment, would
be sufficient for the needs of the
country. Along with this he proposes
a larger personnel of officers than
would be required for such an army,
in order that it might be utilized in
training those undergoing their SER
vice in colleges and universities as
well as in environments. Privates who
have already served would be used as
non-commissioned officers, if they so
desired. For veterans of the war
there would be no further service eX-
