An old time racet wiclder says that In
his day the annual competitions for the
lawn tennis championship were not only
carried out on III" knockout plan. where
the losers are retired and the winners
again paired, hut the survivor Of the
elimination process had to meet the
previous years champion 10 battle for
the new championship. When sixteen
players competed and tho winner then
had to play with the old champion, 1t
IL evident that he would have to win
five successive times to gain the crown.
An interesting problem in chances Is
provided by the question:
Before beginning TO play. what are the
chances OF, any one OF the 16 compete

all II players to be Of equal strength?

Alderman John L. Dempsey, Demo
crat: "The Mayors committee should
make adequate provision for the
wounded boys. If they don't I will
do whatever can to HELP them." VIII
Alderman Maurice S. Calman. So
cialist, expressed sentiments similar
to those of Dempsey. He said: "The
Mayors committee should take care
of the wounded. They should be given
preference. I am willing to string
along with the general attitude of the

ply to me l will try to give them pref

Alderman B. Charney vladeck, So
cialist: 81 can spare some of NV
tickets, and gladly"
Throughout the poll Of the Alder
men the consensus seemed to be that
inasmuch as the tickets had not vet
been received nothing should be said
definitely. Whereas President Moran
seemed to have been reliably informed
that each member of the Aldermanic
Board would receive between forty
and fifty tickets, few of the members
would take that statement for granted
If such distribution of the tickets
was made the Aldermen collectively
would receive 1850 tickets. In ali
there will be issued $4,000 tickets.

four repatriated American prisoners of

ii. Gibbs, adjutant Of the 105th In

drunken German captors of four dough-

The report throws light on the bad
treatment accorded American prison.
ers. The men were compelled to make
long marches without food. Condi-
tions, the report declares, were ex-
tremely unsanitary. and one man was
struck with a rifle butt because he
reached for beet to eat.
The men on whose stories the report
was based are Privates James ]. Man
ming, Selig Reich, John V. Story and
Abraham Zirt. The report shows that
favorite trick of captured doughboys
was to pretend that they were newly
arrived drafted men and consequently
ignorant of all military affairs. 1t fol-
lows:
"On the morning of September 27 the
fourth platoon of this company (M),
having Lieutenant Turner in command,
fought it's way across three lines of
German trenches and into the fourth
line, an old trench.
Last Officer Killed
"By the time this place was reached
there were only nine men and one Of
fcer left. In this fourth line Lieuten-
ant Turner and two others were killed.
and in attempting to fight their way
back to the main line the last remain
ing non-commissioned officer was killed.
"The rest were surrounded and called
upon to surrender. They say that their
captors had been driking heavily and
were a mixed crew Of Prussian Guards
and Bavarians, many old men.
"They were about to be shot when
an officer arrived. Finding that Private
Reich spoke German, he ordered the
prisoners sent to the rear, where they
were questioned, all pretending to be

the four was wounded.

Soldiers Will Aid
Salvation Army.
Says Col. Barker

In the excitement OF greeting the re-
turning men of the 9th Division last
week reporters and others who are
supposed to keep an eye set for i'm
portant personages missed Colonel
William Barker, leader of the little
Salvation Army band that preceded
Pershing and his glorious LIST Division
to Europe. Colonel Barker slipped in
unostentatiously, and his presence in
the city was not noted until his report
on his work az head of all Salvation
Army work in France was made public
yesterday at the instance of Com
mander Evangeline Booth.
1t was under his management that
the weighty doughnut reached the pin
nacie of undying fame among the men
OF the American army, and it was in
large measure due to him, say his col
leagues, that the organization itself
came to occupy such a big place in the
hearts of the khaki legions abroad.
THE ending of war is like the
sudden turning of a page in a book"
said Colonel Barker yesterday. "The
moment the fighter had his thoughts
transferred from probably deadly en-
counter Just ahead to whatever scenes
of domestic tranquility he had left at
home, the task of the war worker took
on a new phase and became more dif-
ficult than ever, and more important,
with one phase Of our work ac-
complished we are glad to leave the
verdict with the soldier and sailor
and to furnish any detailed informa
tion the public may require. We feel
sure the men who were so appreciative
over there will help us now with
their relatives and friends over here
to get upon our feet with the machin-
cry for human relief that we have
been trying to build up in America for
more than thirty years.
"These men fully expect to remain
in contact with the Salvation Armv.
That means an expansion of our re-
lief work, and a strenuous endeayor
to match up with the new need. Il
means larger institutions for the en-
ployment bureaus, for hospitals where
the wives and daughters of service men
can find good care, and not have to
worry about paying if without funds.
1t means larger orphanages, bigger
fresh air farms, more free coal and
ice to the poor, more free milk for
the sickly babies. 1t means permanent
meeting places for ex-service men. and

New York Tribune
W1shin atom B1treu,x


WASHINGTON, March 16.-With the
rapid return to this country of the
National Guard divisions that served
in France, officials of the militia
bureau of the War Department are
making plans for an active campaign
to reorganize the Nationay Guard in
every State in the Union. Authority
has just been granted the bureau ia
increase its personnel.
The militia bureau will soon extend
general call to all state troop lead
ers, urging them to give their co5pera-
tion in the formation of the National
militia.
Major General John F. o'Ryan and
other New York Guard officers, who
soon will be separated from the Fed
eral service, will be asked to lend their
efforts to place New York again at the
head of the list of states to furnish
guard organizations.
Major General Jesse Mel. Carter
chief Of the militia bureau, intends to
urge the new Congress to make ade-
quate financial provision for the re-
establishment Of the National Guard
on sound basis. The military bill
that failed to pass at the last Congre 50
contained an appropriation of more
than s14,ooo.ooo Tor the National Guard
and authorization for the equipment of
all state troops from the surplus war
material In War Department depota.
Authority will be sought to accept
for enlistment for a period Of ons wear
all National Guardsmen who served in
France. Tho remainder of tho six
year enlistment period will bo in the
reserve.
