fastest and cleanest games of basket
ball ever witnessed in Dallas the
American Legion team Of this city de-
feated the fast Multnomah club bas-
ketball team by the close score of "a
to 20.
The game was close from start to
finish, the Portland boys taking the
lead in the first half and maintain
ing it until near the close Of the game
when the Dallas team evened the
score of 20 to 20. By mutual agree
ment the game was continued for five
aninutes in which time the Legion
team made two baskets which placed
them in the lead.
The Portland boys were good basket
throwers from the field and made sew
eral fine shots with good results but
outside of few baskets thrown their
score was made ON fouls of which IL
were placed against the Dallas team
and eleven against Multnomah.
The Portland team is the best ever
sent to this city by the Multnomah
club and is composed of some of the
cleanest and fairest players the Dallas
boys ever went up against. Hubert
Goode of Portland and Lynn Matheney
OF this city actv III as referees.

Residence Damaged
By Fire Today

Fire this morning badly damaged
the residence of Mrs. Sam Peters,
on College street. The alarm was
turned in about IL o'clock, and by
the time the truck arrived the fire
had gained such Roadway that the
roof of the building was almost COM
pletely destroyed, and the entire up
per floor badly damaged.
Mrs. Peters was burning some pa
pers and trash in the kitchen stove,
and it is supposed that lighted pa
per ignited the roof, where the fire
was first discovered. The loss was
total as no insurance was carried.

a PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

TO the People of Tennessee:-
The splendid and loyal service
which the Salvation Army has
rendered to our boys at the front
has endeared them to the hearts
of all appreciative Americans.
This service was made possible
only because of a half century
of unselfish and productive eff
fort on the part of The Saliva
ton Army here at home; in help
in gthe needy and guiding the
fallen and unfortunate. To con-
tinue and enlarge their work,
the Salvation Army comes be-
fore the people of Tennessee
for aid. Their cause is worthy
of full support of the people of
our State.
Now, therefore, do l, A. H.
Roberts, Governor of the State
of Tennessee, set aside the week
of May 1926 as the time in
which the solicitation of funds
for the Salvation Army Home
Service Fund is to take place. l
urge all men and women of the
State to contribute literally in
money ard in service to this
worthy movement.
A. H. ROBERTS,
Governor.

SYMPATHY


II / could feel within my heart the
woe
And grief that you so keenly fee
to-day
If it had been my lot in life to know
The severing Of heart-strings and
the sway
Of sorrow, wild and unrestrained
then maybe !
Might come and weep, as you are
weeping here,
Where lilies, white as from the fields
on high,
Lay tenderly across a somber bier
You my friend who've suffered much
and long,
And know the touch of tiny lips
and hands,
And felt the pang when death, with
cruel song,
Came stalking in q way none I'M
derstands,
May have my sympathy; but eyes are
dry
And weak the words ! give when
teardrops start,
But these are all that | can give, for
Know only emptiness of arms and
heart! will F. Guffin.

CHARGE MISSIONARIES
IN BULGARIA PRO-HUN

Washington, April 2.-Charges that
American missionaries in Bulgaria
were throughout the war and still
are pro-German in sentiment have
been the subject of an inquiry by
the state department The results
of the investigation have not been
made public and it was said today
that the department probably would
not pursue the inquiry.
The fact that the United States
and Bulgaria were not at war was
said in official circles to have been
the basis of the attitude of the mis-
sionares, who were very friendly
to the old Bulgarian government,
despite the fact that the country was
at war with nations with which the
United States was associated in
fighting Germany.

ALL INJURED
AMERICANS TO
PAR TICIPATE

Washington, April 2,-Soldiers who
were disabled in the service of the
armies of our allies may now re-
ceive the same vocational retraining
as men of the United States forces.
The federal board for vocational ed
ucation at Washington is desirous
of locating all such men, and re,
quests that citizens who know of
such men will furnish their address
es to the board SO that these sol.
diers may be given their chance of
rehabilitation
1t is a case where there seems ut
terly no way OF reaching these men
except to appeal to citizens to help
seek them out. The United States
has as yet no record of its citizens
wounded in armies of the allies. 1t
is common knowledge that the total
enlistment was large, and there are
doubtless hundreds of these men, dis
abled through their service to the
common cause and who until now
have not been eligible for relief.
Out of the fund provided by the
Elks these American citizens, injuv
ed under a foreign flag but in our
cause may now receive the same
opportunities and benefits as are
given our own soldiers, sailors and
marines.

On their recent tour, General

he rate of enlistments very low,
lnly 2,797 men having been recruit
ID at the regular depots. This re-
,ruitment is under the legislation
authorizing total of 175,000 men.
rhe term of enlistment is one-third
If the total for one year and the re-
.nainder for three years. General
March said that enlistments so far
we're about equal for the two classes.
Choose Destination.
So far as possible, General March
said, the wishes of the men who en-
list under this special call as to the
)lace of service will be met by the
lepartment. If recruit desires SER
yice in Italy he will be sent with a
replacement unit to the American
,orce there. If he desires service in
France or in Russia, so far as cir
oumstances permit his wishes viii!
be met.
Regarding the forces in Italy,
while no recent advices have come
to the war department, General
