 He speaks of the very great need of physical work even in the army when he discovered in the big ath- letic meets which he pulled off among the enlisted men how many men found 1t difficult to jump clean y high and also many found it difficult to leap across q comparatively mar row ditch which, of course, was the work of his department to make them capable of doing in order that they might be trained in this when they got into actual warfare, for jumping was a great asset to the soldiers in this war.

J. s. SOLDIERS
 IN RUSSIAN CARS

With American Forces on the Vol ogda Railway, Nov, 25.-Via London, Jan. 24. - Correspondence of The Associated Press) T. When operating through this thin1y populated forest and tundra region along the railway leading from ArchangeI to Vologda, the American troops fighting the Bol- shevibI in the North Russian front are living, when free from trench and bloCkhouse duty, in tiny Russian freight cars.
 In this they are initiating the Rus sian soldiers, who, since the revolu- ton, have commandeered freight cars wherever they found them and remodeled them for dwellings. When the box cars are fitted up with stoves. they are knownszes top
 luchkas.' They are not particularly warm in zero weather, but a welcome 1 change from the cold trenches in l the snow.
 | The forests here are dotted with
 small blockhouses, built almost on l the model of the blockhouse forts of 1 the old American wars with the In- 1 d!ans, but have the added advantage 1 of being fairly sllrapneI proof.
 The fighting down along the rail-
 way line from the north has been,
 since it's beginning last August, g
 combination of modern warfare, with | trenches and modern arms, and of bush fighting whereta surprise at l tacks in the weeds figured prom 1 inently.

BROCK RETURNS
 TO LOCAL "Y''
Athletic Director Who Went to France Assumes
 His Old Duties.

The Young Mems Christian Asso- citation was requested by the French War Ministry to furnish athletic di- rectors to carry on in French off, cers' schools the kind of work that the '. M. c. A. athletic instructors had been furnishing in the American Association schools. They asked If they might have eight men, one for each of their regional schools. The American Association picked out eight men, among whom was John D. Brock, physical director of the Bridgeport Y. M. c. A, to do this important work for the French army.
 It may seem strange that the French officers having noticed the American soldiers playing baseball Insisted that among other things that was one of the games they wished thelr men to be taught. The French rave very few games where they use their hands and arms in the way that the American athlete does in several of our ball games. These movements were helpful in maxine men accurate and active in certain military movements such as throwine hand grenades, etc. They therefore wanted them schooled in this form oi athletics.
 Other games that were taught were Vofiey ball and basket ball.
 The men whom the French au. | thor1ies set aside to be taught b1 these eight American athletic instruc. l tors numbered among them the bes known athletes of the French na. i ton. For instance one of whom wa, carpenter, their champion boxer ana l In fact the leading athletes of the l French nation.

LECTURER GIVES ORIGINAL CAUSE
 OF INFLUENZA
B. R. Baumgardt Talks Most Interestingly On As
 tronomy

The audience that filled The Strat- field ball room yesterday afternoon was closely held by the poetic ana fascinating revelations of the most wonderful views of the vast universe ns interpreted by tho lecturer scleh- list and astronomer, B. F. Baum gardt, who spoke here under the auspices of the Bridgeport Art League.
 AS the beautiful views of the starry heavens, were flashed one by one on the screen. the scientist explained, al times in poetry, at times in prose, their meaning and the wonderful process by which they were obtained. The heavens were examined in min ute details. The solid walls of stars In the spaces of infnity, appearing as let black sacks against the brilliant backeround, gave the lecture touches of weird unreality.
 Atsthe opening of the lecture, MT Baumgardt explained iu detail about the greatest telescope in existence 90,o00 times more powerful than the naked eye, which is mounted at the Mount Wilson observatory. After a hurried trip through the prettiest sections of California, stopping only for a. while here and there to admire the beautiful foliage, and the glorious fields of buttercups and water lilies by the way, MT. Baumgardt led the audience into the observatory, and showed them the telescope, and then admitted them to take a look into the very heavens while he poetically de scribed the suns and worlds of the great infnltv.
 The moon was brought to within 63 miles from the audience and her great craters were plainly seen. She was then shown in an eclipse and ir various positions as she appears tc humanity during the months.
 The incandescent forests of the sun were shown and the large spots thou sands of times larger than the earth covering this vast fiery ball.
 Tn talking on the matter that ts seen In the skies and of the gases Jeff in the wake of comets, MT Baum ga1tLt said that it is the belief of sci. entists that such matter, when no congenial in coming in contact witt the earth, is the original causes of thf deadly diseases. influenza, the 0lacl death and other plaques that have from time to time ravaged the. world.
 In conclusion, the astronomer stated that in the sterillty and death behe1c on other planets, like the moon, the thoughtful mind may read a. signal O Ehe prophecy of the fate that in the end may overtake OUT own earth

American soldiers during the first five
months Of the war. For some time
he was In supervisory work which

LATER he saw service on four fronts.
He was gassed while operating Y.

to the kindred organizations that We're

their work was not as extensive as
the work Of the Y. N. C. A.
/ The =. NJ. C. A. plan was for 80
men In each division but many diyis-
ions only had 20 men or less, and for
that reason they were not able to rem

fed sunflower Ssilage in comparison
with corn silage in various feeding ra-
tions for the past two years to dairy
cows and other cattle Thus far no
difference has been noticed. E. l..
Kelly, local dairyman, fed sunflower
silage during the past year with equal
ly good results. SunflOwers are not
affected by early and late frosts as
corn is and. therefore can be grown
for longer period, giving immense
quantities of forage.
Used as soiling crop they can be
run through a feed chopper and fed
satisfactorily. f. B. Smith OF La
