NIaj.-Gen Peter c. Harris. adjutant- general OF
the army is OF the opinion that the draft aidavjts

the war are what they were declared TO be when
made. namely. confidential documents available
for public perusal Under this plan, men who might
have been retcent about their personal affairs
easily induced give all the information asked for.
This plan greatly expedited the labors OF OverwOrk
Cd draft boards and generally regarded one
OF the factors in the success of the draft law.
Justice Siddons. Of the supreme court of the Dis.
Columbia, believes that the law should be in
terpreted 10 mean that under certain circumstances
the draft affidavits may be used for other than mill

More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A YSTERY.

A MYSTERY.
I know that they carefully train en-
gineers
IN difficult branches of knowledge
BY making them study for four or
five years
At an up-to- date technical college.
Though poets and artists are born
TO their trade.
Having native proficiency in it,
A super mechanic has got to be
made
And you can't turn one out in
minute.
Yet burglars who need a superlative
in parting time-lock asunder.
In cracking a crib or in tapping
till
And in getting away with the
plumber,
Are kept, by the public aversion to
crime,
In a state of such constant re-
preston,
That can't understand how they
have any time
To learn such a high class pro-
fession.
WIN q pHoSpnOT bronze QTlll ana
acetylene torch
Which means knowledge of metals
and fuels
They break in your safe Or they
climb up your porch
And depart with your money and
Jewels.
They may not know much OF h @
writings OF Freud,
Their rhetoric may be defective,
And yet in their business an art is
employed
That taffles the shrewdest detec-
tive.
And yet there are thousands Of
burglars who ply
Their trade with the craft Of
master,
And though they must toll in the
dark on the sly
Their numbers increase all the
faster.
When cash in such handsome
amounts can be made
They spurn honest methods to
earn il.
I am not defending their scoundrel-
ly trade,
But 1 wonder wherever they learn
It.

OLD YEARS AND NEW.

OLD YEARS AND NEW.
Old years and new years, all blend
ed into one,
The best of what there is TO be, the
best OF what is gone.
Let's bury all the failures in the
dim and dusty past
And keep the smiles Of friendship
and laughter TO the last.
Old years and new years, LIES in
the making still,
We haven't come TO glory yet, but
there's the hope we will;
The dead old year was II months
long, but now from II we're free
And what's one year of good or bad
10 all the years TO be?
Old years and new years, we need
them one and all
To reach the dome OF character and
build its sheltering wall;
Past failures tried the souls of US.
but If their tests We stood,
The sum OF what we are to be may
yet be counted good.
Old years and new years, with all
their pain and strife,
Are but the bricks and steel and
stone with which We fashion
life;
SO put the sin and shame away, and
keep the fine and true
And on the glory Of the past let's
build the better new.

Great Britain with her vast resources, finds her
self financially handicapped by the shrinkage in the
value Of the pound sterling. and the people are
taxed practically the limit. italy Is hanging

disaster may be averted.
Not only did the nations of Europe contract i'm
debts to carry on the war. but great amounts
of currency. without the backing of gold, were is
sued domestic obligations. This currency
has deprecated much chat the people themselves
have little confidence in it, it is practically
worthless in transactions with other nations.

BRITISH GOLFERS
WANT CHANGE IN
u. S. OPEN TOURNEY

New York, Dec. 1.-The number OF
British golfers in the national open
championship, likely to be played a.
Skokie Country club, Chicago, next
year, will depend largely upon the
date for the tournament. according
10 John G. Anderson of Siwanoy, who
returned this week from five weeks
trip to the other side.
In case the date is set for Septem-
Der from four to six Of the best golfers
in the old country will make the trip
and give the event the greatest inter-
national flavor ii has ever had" An
derson said, but holding the tourna
ment In July, as has been the practice,
will undoubtedly preclude the coming
of any, for the Britons are unable to
acclimate themselves to our midsum-
mer weather"
Anderson said the British golf world
felt keenly the assertion that the win
ming of the British open by Jock
Hutchinson was responsible for barring
ribbed clubs, He said that officials Of
the Royal and Ancient club made it
and opened to him the records to
show that the action on the heavily
scored clubs was taken in May, a
month before the tournament, with
the stipulation the rule would not go
into effect until after the 1921 cham
pionship.

DISPUTE OVER BALL,

The proposed indoor baseball game
between the Ottawa post. American
Legion team and the Streator aggre-
cation next Saturday night has been
called OF. according to announcement
made last night by Manager r. c.
Woodward, head of the local team.
The cancellation of the game follow.
ed dispute regarding the size Of
the bali to be played with. The regu.
lation indoor ball is fourteen inches
in circumference and Is the ball used
by all professional indoor teams.
Streator. however, didn't want to
play with that size ball, but wanted
n smaller one. Manager Woodward
couldn't see ii at all and 80 after Il
bit of squabblng the proposed con,
flict was called off At first II was
rumored that the game would be-
played on next Monday night at the
armory, but as far as can be learned
that date, too, has been cancelled.
Whether or not the local legion out
fit will play the Hardscrabble team
sometime in the future Is unknown,
but If they do it will be with the regu.
lation indoor ball.
