' THE FIRST TEE GOLFER.

1t takes all sorts of men, I know, to
make the goling clan,
And who pursues the Royal Game
meets every kind of man.,
I think that I have met them all, and
most of them are fine,
1t makes no difference how they play,
Iaeall them friends of mine.
But there's one golfer hat I shun, he
holds no charm for me
The goling shark who wins his games
right on the starting tee.
Some men there are will play for fun,
and some for exercise. q
Some hold that in a battle grim the
the Joy Of golfng lies.
But there's n man in every crowd
who finds no thrill within
The Royal and the Ancient game I'M
less he's sure TO win,
And so he argues long for strokes,
from 1S down to three,
And has the match decided er a ball
has left the Tee.
He's always sadly off his play, or very
tired or ILL., /
With him it is a game Of strokes, and
not a game Of skill.
How many do 1 get today" his II.
walls hear him o
And if they offer six or seven. he
wransles long for more.
He will not take a chance himself, his
fight for victory
Is made upon the course, but
on the starting tee.
oh, let me play with Hundred" mer
or spend my days with dubs,,
I will not care 80 long az they eeel
victory with their clubs.
| care not who the golfer be, nor wha,
his swing or stance.
III play with him if<only he gives ev.
cry man a chance.
But III pass up forevermore thu,
"a crank. whoe'er he be-
Who wins his matches every tim,
right on the starting tee.

FALMOUTH ANNIVERSARY

Elaborate preparations are under
,:ay for the celebration this year of
he 3OOth anniversary OF the landing
II the Pilgrims at Plymouth. Nat
urally, the observance is to be more
. han merely local. In fact, it will
/, be more than national, for important
features in connection with the settle.
mcnt of English speaking people in
North America will be commemorate
ed not only on this continent, but in
England, the original home of the
c%olonists. and in Holland, where they
made a brief sojourn. Included in
the ceremonies of this year will be
devoted to the commcmora-
IN Of the settlement of Virginia, and
specially the %origination of the first
assembly in that province.
This event took place in 1919. and on
July 80. of that year the first assem-
Bly convened. Then and there was
established the first democratic gov
eminent on this continent, and from
compact, sprang sclf-goycrnmcnt in
America
1t is peculiarly fitting that there
should be ~observances now in COM
memoration Of these events. The
ideals which the original colonists
brought with them have become the
ideals Of a great nation. Due in no
small measure to the oral influence
ct that nation, those ideals have
gained on recognition throughout the
world. No small share ofsthe worlds
democracy now is due to the seed
sshWns by these early arrivals, and the
f4Atnre OF America, and largely OF. the
world, depends very largely on the
manner sip which America continues
to preserve those ideals and to shape
her course in accordance with them.
This year of eommemoration ought
also to be a year of rehabilitation. and

lished the nation have long since de.

D'ANNUNZIO GONE
AFTER ANNOUNCING
FLIGHT BY PLANE
Declares in Statement That He
Does Not Think Italy Is
Worth Dying For.
GIVES UP HIS POWER.
Belief Exists That Officials of
City Will Accept Terms
Offered by Government.

ROME, Dec. 9O-No word has been
received to-day of the. whereabouts
Of Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the poet,
who announced yesterday that he
was leaving Fiume in an airplane,
after stating that he did not consider
L:Aly worth dying for.
1t is regarded as certain that
Ricardo Gigantic, Mayor Of Flume
and Capt. Hostventur. Director OF
National Defense at the city, will ac-
cept the chief condition prescribed by
Cen Caviglia-namely. the complete
recognition Of the Treaty OF Rapallo.
A description Of the last phases OF
the struggle in Fiume received here
show that the legionaries re-
opened fire against the troopa who
were merely holding the positions
they had taken Monday night.
The fight assumed the character of
guerilla warfare all along the line.
The legionaries took advantage OF
the natural resources Of the terrain
for laying ambuscades.
AS the regulars were advancing
across orchards they were enveloDed
- fre from machine guns which
had been sunk to the level Of the
ground and cleverly camoufiaRed.
The houses seemed to have been
abandoned, but. when the troops ap-
preached, the legionaries, hidden be-
hind windows, behind chimney
stacks and on balconies and roofs,
suddenly opened fire. Even women
were found working machine guns.
Tho legionaries ultimately tried to
force the regulars to retreat In order
TO relieve pressure on the city, but
failed owing to the stubborn resist
ance, especially OF the Carabineers
and Alpine troops, who fought cour-
ageously for more than three hours,
The struggle was bitterest near the
railway station and inside the Fiume
Cemetery, which was virtually de-
Stroyed.
