Pony Express is Long Dead On
 6Oth Birthday

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Just 60l years ago the pony express which carried letters from St. Louis to San Francisco in eight days was lnau- gurated. Today plans are being made to establish transcontinen- tai airplane mail service, and trail blazing flights heve been made as far west as Omaha.
 It was great achievement when the pony express was started to car ry the mail to the young but bus ting state of California in 1860. It's inauguration was preceded by the publication in St. Louis paper in March, of that year, of the following advertisements:
 "To San Francisco in eight days. The first carrier of the Pony Ex- press will leave the Missouri river on Tuesday, April 8, and will run regularly weekly thereafter, carry ing letter mail only, Telegraph mail eight days, letters ten days to San Francisco"
 The population of San Francisco and other California towns eagerly welcomed this service, bringing them into touch as it did with the states from which the gold hunters and other fortune seekers had migrated 1 Ten riders going each way with changed horses every twenty-five miles, brought the pouches of mall across the thousand mile wilder ness. The pony express, with its fasI riders, among them Buffalo BIT Colonel William F. Cody), then a young man, was one of the most TO- mantle features of the great western country. Many were the adventures | these daring riders had. They av- erared seventy-five miles day, but
 often covered double that distance
 "Buffalo Bill" once made ride
 of 3s4 miles when the messenger
 who was waiting was killed. Often
 chased by Indians or "sniped ny
 outlaws, the pony express riders 'fwere exposed to death at all times and they braved rain and snow ! storm, as part of an everyday duty | One of the memorable achieve ments of the pony express was tne delivery of Lincoln's inaugural ad dress in 1861, when all the westerr country was waiting for the momen tous news from the capital: In'
 address was hurried to St.. Joseph
 Mo-, the taking off place" ot tn'
 pany express. Wrapped Tn oitskit and put in saddle bags the address was started on its way amid wi' cheers. Fresh horses waited a
 every ten miles, and the final tel : miles before reaching San Francis : co m was made in 31 minutes. Tn , message was carried by the rider a total of 1,950 miles in lS5 hours !, an average of a little more than te : miles an hour. That was wonderfu ? in those days.

Radical Changes in Tennis Rules
 Being Planned

New York, Feb. 3.-A conference which may result in radical chan ges in American tennis rules will be held in this city on February 6 in connection with the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis assoication. Various com mittees, which have been working for months on revisions of codes, will present their recommendation to the association delegates from all parts of the country. Revision on the play ing rules, adoption of new plan ot organization and voting power for the association ,and approval of a new system of competition for the national doubles championship arc among the more important matter to be considered. These changes, the most radical proposed in many years, will attract wide spread interest among all followers of tennis, be- cause of their influence on the flu ture of the sport.
 In recommending a new code of rules, the committee which included s. Wallis Merrihew, Richard N. Will Hams, Ed, Beals c. Wright, Abra ham Bassford Jr, Edward c. Conlin Samuel Hardy and Watson M. Wash burn reported conclusions reached after months of study. No effort has been spared to simplify the text so the changes in working are eX- tensive. The changes i'll meaning however, involve only few rules one being the sixth, relating to foot faults. This will be altered te read: Before commencing to serve the server shall stand with botf feet at rest behind, i. e., further from the net than the baseline ant within the limits of the center marl and the sideline. Both feet shall bt kept behind the baseline until tht
 racket strikes the ball" t
 The suggested method of scorinE
 eliminates the use of "15-3O, love
 "deuce," and similar terms whicl
 have long been a part of the phraseo
 logy of the game, and counts on
 point basis, 1, 2, 8, etc. If tht
 server wins the first point, it l
 called 'on-in". If the receiver win
 the first point, it is called "one'out' If the server has won three point
 and the receiver one, it is calle'
 "three-one" and so on until eithe
 player has won four points. If on player has four points and the othc
 three points, the score is calle
 "three-four" or tfour-three," as tn
 case may be, and the game is score for the player who first thereafte gains a lead of two points. In tn new system of handicaps, points ar allotted to the players, to be adde to the points scored. At the end o set the allotted points are adde !. to those scored and the player wit the larger total wins the set, regard , less of the games won or lost.
 The constitutional amendment
 change the voting system, by appoi t tioning votes to clubs on the basi } of their membership, instead of giv : ing one vote to each club, as a : present. Dues are determined i l the same ratio as votes, so that

CALLS U. S. POLICY SOUND.

Wilson Administration Answers
Criticism of Lloyd George.
Washington. Aug. 25.-President
Wilson'S attention was called to a
Lucerne report quoting Premier
cas- present policy toward Russia is
inconsistent with The presidents
declaration regarding the Prinkipo
conference.
Mr.. Wilson was said toSbe inter-.
ested in the reported statement of
the British premier to such an ex-
tent that the state department is
endeavoring to confirm it. It is be-
lieved the president will make it
clear to the world that bis policy is
not inconsistent with his previous
views
State department officials would
not discuss the published interview.
The presidents attention was di-
,rected to the report by Secretary
Tumulty, who sent it to the White
House from the executive office. Mr..
Tumulty would make no comment.
The state department feels that the
governments attitude toward Russia
has been entirely consistent. It was
pointed out inA> an official quarter
that the Prinlipo conference, in
which the United States agreed to
participate, was designed to coalesce
the struggling factions in Russia
an effort to settle a family quarrel.
But the recently proposed confer
ence at London, in which the United
fofo %1
was proposal of an entirely differ
ent character, designed as q general
peace conference with soviet Russia.
Administration officials believe
that developments in the Russo-Po-
lish war demonstrate that the red
menace is not strong enough to crush
the potential resistance of the Euro
Lpean states.
This makes clear, they contend,
that the American policy of opposi-
tion to the soviet government and
support of the integrity of Russia,
pending restoration of national
government, is correct and wise.
1t is pointed out that the alternate
victories and defeats of both armies
show that a point, has been reached
where the offensive morale of a CO.
hesive military force can not be
maintained and that the military
strength of the nations at present
becomes manifest only thru de-
fensive morale prompted by popu-
lar consciousness Of national peril.
1t is declared that events in the
war make it undeniably clear that
the chief desire Of the hpeoples of
Europe is to settle down to normal
life and that, despite the presence of
