London, Jan. 8.-Several hundred
persons have been killed in the fight
ing in Berlin, according to a Copen-
hagen dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph, but until o'clock this
morning no details regardings condi-
tions had been received. The gov
ernment seems to be at least pro
visionally master of the situation.
Early Tuesday the Berlin govern
ment moved troops outside the city.
These are now ready to enter, the
dispatch says. Hindenburg is re-
ported to have arrived at Berlin.
The street fighting has been par
ticularly sanguinary owing to the
fact that the Spartacus element has
plenty of weapons taken from NUM-
tion factories at Spandau. While ma
chine guns were firing and bombs
were dropping, motion picture opera
tors busily recorded the scenes en-
acted in the streets. 1t is announced
that the American army recently sent
motion picture operators to Berlin.

Decisive Battles of the World

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 I was glad to note your editorial regarding "Governor Allen and the Thirty-fifth Division.'
 Anyone will be interested in reading again the account of the battle of valmy, fought in the Argonne forest in 1792. This battle was considered by Greasy as one of the 15 decisive battles of the world.
 Creasy's book was written in 1851 and since that time two more decisive battles have been fought-Gettysburg and the Marne. or. should it be the bat tie of the Argonne Forest, which in- cludes the old field of Valmy?
 Valmy was fought at the beginning of the French revolution and on the very day that a republic was declared in Paris.

Serious Aspect of Negro Problem

 We have been reading in the col umns of the local newspapers articles treating on the problems that are fac ing the people of this southland. If you have been too busy to study and give serious thought it is time to wake up. If there ever was a time when the thinking people who hold the best interest of the city, county and this great state of ours dear to their hearts. should get together and devise ways and means to handle the condi- tions that now and will exist, it is at the present time.
 In my opinion, the race problem is the most serious; this you may not think because you do not Know the conditions that really exist I have been informed by one of our state sen- ators that the authorities are very much concerned. He also stated that reports from the local dealers show that five out of every seven pistols sold in the Birmingham district are bought by negroes, and they buy the

frequently results in weakened back ruptures or similar troubles.
 The bulk of those who go in TOT training which calls for heavy work are youngsters who overestimate tneir own powers They feel that the quick est method is the best. In their eager ness to advance quickly to point of physical power, they do not move along gradually. They grab the heaH- fest and hardest gyninasium work at the outset and naturally their Gn- schoeled muscles, not equal to the strain, react violently. And trouble re- suits
 Years of study as to the relative value of the different forms of exercis- ing have convinced me that for the ordinary person no form of exercising is safer or more effective than that which calls into use no device of any kind. The ideal exercise is that which simply creates a muscular resistance which slowly but very effectively builds up the health and strength. And it is that sort of exercising that I advocate for my readers, and which will outline for them in my next ar ticle.
 I have experimented with several hundred different movements and from all of these 1 have gathered together perhaps two score which, I am confi- dent. will perform seeming wonders for every person who attempts them, and performs them conscientiously.
 There is no danger of overstrain in the performance of exercises of this kind.
 You are not likely to strain muscle if you do not load it with a weight, but for the first few days, it is possi- ble that there will be a little soreness of the muscles that suddenly are called into play, and which heretofore have not been given any work. But that soreness will wear away quickly and from then on the improvement should be rapid.
 My next article on the subject of health will outline exercises that can be performed by you. or by any mem- bers of your family. They are designed for the strengthening of the muscles of the stomach and the intestines. Health is not possible until those or gans function correctly. And they cannot do this until the musclec are in tiptop condition.
 Exercising will accomplish the re suit of strengthening the stomach and tive apparatus is working correctly it means that the whole body is nour- ished and that the foundation for real health is we'll laid

Christy Mathewson, who is just back from overseas, says the French will never be a success at baseball.
 Their infield work is not very good" said Matty, "and they do not seem to be able to bat well. One thing, how ever, that they do well is base-run- ming. I do not think that in all France there is a capable catch to be found. Every time a Frenchman gets behind the bat he wants to retreat about 10 paces, erect a barbed wire entangle- ment, dig himself a dugout and crawl into it. They are all afraid of being hit by the ball.
 Frank Schulte, who was taken on by the Washington club toward the shank of lost season, has just signed con- tract to manage the Binghamton club in the New York State league. Schulte was famous during the days of the Frank Chance Cubs for his terrific swatting ability, being known espe- cially for his home run hitting pro- clivities.

The case was decided absolutely on the merits of the contract and not as in St. Louis on the fact that box ing was illegal in Missouri and the case, therefore, without court standing.

Editors Note: This is the second of a series of new Corbett health articles which will appear in this column from time to time during the next so days. In them MT. Corbett will reveal health secrets he has learned after S5 years of intimate and exhaustive study. MT. Corbett goes farther than merely giv- ing health advice. His articles will in- struct. and from time to time he will include exercises which can be per formed in the homes without the use of apparatus of any kind. This course of physical training which MT. Corbett has perfected is regarded as one of the most remarkable and effective ever de- vised)
 Every person really interested in ac- quiring health asks this question:
 What sort of exercising shall I take to accomplish the best possible result?'
 There are two forms of exercising:
 l. That which calls into use appara- tus.
 9 That which requires no apparatus of any kind.
 Those who have ambitions to become Strong men, and to build up muscles that are tremendous in their power should have recourse to the use of pull ley weights, dumb bells, Indian clubs, rowing machines and similar strength building inventions. Muscular power of the Sandow variety can be built up only in that way. But those who seek only health and moderate strength can realize their aim by the mere perform ance of calisthenics which slowlybut lar forces of the body.
 It is my conviction that only one per- son out of about every 5000 wants to become a strong man. And, therefore, my hints on body building and health building are designed for the majority. Those who wish to learn how great strength can be acquired can write to me personally in care of this paper and I shall be very pleased to help.
 When persons with such aims write to me I would appreciate it if they gave me all possible information con- cerning themselves, etc
