Results of Physical Tests.

In the physical examinations the
states of the IN ddle west made the
best showing; country boys did better
than city boys; whites better than
Colored. and native born better than
foreign born. The British sent more
men to France in their first year of
war than we did in our first year. but
it took England three years to reach
a strength of 100000 men in France,
and the United States accomplished 1t
in one half that time.
The average American soldier who
reached the front was given six
months training in the United States,
two months overseas before entering
the line and one month in quiet sec
tor before going into battle. France
and England sent to the United States
nearly 500 skilled officers and nom
commissioned officers as instructors.
In all, forty-two divisions We're sent
to France from this country. compris-
ing 100000 men. About half of this
number went by way of England,
while out of every 100 men, forty
nine were i'll British ships. forty five
in American ships. three in Italian,
two in Franch and one in Russian
ships. The cargo fleet. on the other
hand, was almost exclusively Ameri-
can.

DECLARE HIGH WAGES
BOOST COST OF LIVING

PARIS. July 11.-Important deci-
sions to reduce the cost of living were
reached at a conference at the war
office between Premier Clemenceau
and his cabinet, according to an off,
cial announcement.
Emmanuel Brousse and Andre Le-
fevre, prominent members OF the
chamber of deputies, declared in the
chamber that the steady increase in
the cost of living was largely due to
continual increases in wages. NJ.
Brousse accused Albert Thomas of
starting prices upward by paying
workmen in the arsenal at Roanne
excessive wages at the time he was
minister of munitions.
NJ. Thomas admitted that increasing
wages was not the solution of the
high cost of living and said that
when he added 10 per cent to the
wages of the arsenal workmen the
tradesmen Immediately added the
same amount to their prices.

Coombss resignation comes as q sur
prise TO persons in touch with the base
ball situation here. Several days ago
Coombs sent his wife to their home in
Paris, Tex, and told friends he would
join her in a few days.
Relations between Coombs and WILL
lam Baker. president of the club, have
been strained for some time. The Phil
lies had one losing streak In the West
of eleven straight games. and the team
again 10 on Q losing streak which has
reached eleven games.
Baker blames the poor playing of the
team to Manager Coombs's poor handling
OF the players, while Coombs. on the
other hand, attributes tho poor playing
to Bakers nlggardly policy In running
the club and his failure to spend any
money to strengthen the team.
Yesterday there was red hot confer
ence among Baker. Coombs and Whi:ted
the captain OF the club. Coombs said
that he was notified as early as last
Monday that his services no longer would
be required.
There was much bitter feeling among
the Philadelphia players when word was
received that Coombs would be let out.
Several Of the players said they would
not take the field to-day, but coombs
prevailed on them to take q sensible view
OF the situation and to give Cravath
the best that is In them.
"Cravath 10 my manager as long as
he lives" said Baker after to-days
