WASHINGTON MAINTAINS ST.
LENCE ON RAIL SITUATION. !

Washington, July 25.-The Rail-
road Labor board remains the only
agency through which the govern
ment can and will deal with the rail-
road strike situation, though Presi-.
dent Harding is continuing to hold
himself in contact with all actions
which the board takes in the matter,
it was said today at the white house.
I The administration in the railroad
strike as in the coal controversy, it
was asserted, intends to proceed in
fairness to the interests involved and
with the determination to maintain
the dignity and majesty Of the Uni
ted States government. In accord
ance with this policy it believes that
all labor controversies should be
placed before the labor board, the
sole authority under the acts Of con-
gress. ".

PLUCK|NG BOARD
FACES HARD TASK
ARMY OFFICERS MUST BE RE-
TIRED.-OFFICERS GREATLY
CONCERNED OVER PROBABLE
EFFECT WHOLESALE "SEPA-
RATION" MAY HAVE.

Washington, July 25.-The board
of general officers appointed to under
take the most wholesale "plucking"
Job ever initiated among the regular
army organization will enter at once
upon the duties to which it has been
assigned. The first meeting will be
held tomorrow with Maj. Gen. Joseph
T. Dickman, retired, presiding as
president. 1t was to have begun op-
erations towards the elimination or
demotion of some $500 officers today
but was held up by the absence OF
one member.
Members of the board, which is rep
resentative of all arms of the SER
vice, were greatly concerned in their
preliminary discussions today over
the probable effect upon the morale
of the army of the suspended SEN
tence now hanging over the head OF
practically every officer in the SER
vice, with the exception Of General
Pershing and bakers dozen Of Sec
ond lieutenants now in the army.
Congress, in directing that the Of
ficers' corps be reduced by January
1 to $4,000 did not include the gen.
eral officers of the army in fixing the
number to be retained in each grade.
The war department, in preparing in
structions for the "plucking board"
did include the general officers
in so far as retirement of any Of the
major or brigadier generals for
physical disability would create va
cancies and permit the appointment
of colonels to general officer rank,
reducing the number of surplus colo
nels to that extent
There appeared also to be much
concern among board members as to
the view army officers might take of
the boards action in recommending
any officer for honorable discharge.
Preliminary investigation indicates
that probably more than 1,700 offic-
ers now on the rolls must be "separa-
ted' from the active service in this
way. The board, it is understood, will
seek by every means to impress upon
the army upon the general public the
view that discharge under these con-
ditions in no way reflects upon the
character of the service discharged
officer has rendered and that in a
majority of the cases at least, the
army would much prefer to retain
these officers services.
Board members are understood to
feel that there is little prospect of
finding many officers now on the rolls
who merit discharge. The army re-
Gently cleaned house in this regard
on it's own motion and the sugges-
tion of General Pershing to congress
that the strength of the corps be fix
ed at 13,500 was based upon the
efforts then in progress to get rid of
unsuitable officers in the way con-
gress previously had provided through
efficiency ratings and the "Class B"
ratings.

REBELS RETREAT|NG
WITH GREAT SPEED
INTO GALTEE AND KNOCK MEAL
DOWN MOUNTAINS-IT is
THOUGHT WILL COMPEL lR-
REGULARS TO MAKE STAND,
PERHAPS THE LAST.

London, July 25-Unconfirmed re-
ports received in London today said
the Irish irregular forces were re-
treating with all speed into the
Galtee and Knock Meal Down noun
tains, harassed by free state troops,
who are pressing them hard and pre-
venting them from concentrating.
A Waterford dispatch to the Daily
News says the irregulars have burned
the barracks at Colmel and Upper
ary, long held as garrison, and it be-
lieved that the national army forces
have occupied both these places. This
however, is not claimed in any offic-
ial report.
The Express correspondent says it
is believed the pressure being exert
ed by the national troops upon both
flanks of the republicans will compel
them to make a stand, perhaps their
last, in these mountains, some Of the
other correspondents, however, doubt
whether they will be able to make a
stand anywhere, although they do not
draw the conclusion that an early end
of resistance can be expected. They
believe the republicans will continue
guerilla operations in the widest
parts of the mountains. The possi-
bility that the relating irregulars may
vet reach Cork and make last
desperate stand there is still enter
tanned in some quarters. The various
views, however, obviously and large
ly speculative, since none of them
can be verified except by the general
turn of events.
Gain Fresh Victory.
Dublin, July 25.-National army
troops have gained fresh victory IN
west Ireland by capturing Bally-
heunis, county Mayo, from the repub-
lican irregulars, it was announced
today.
The Free State triumphs in the
capture of Limerick was swiftly fol-
lowed by successes in the surround
ing districts. A number of minor po-
sitions in this area have been added
to the list of Free State victories,
according to today's official bulletin.
The total number of casualties in
the Limerick fighting has not been
accurately estimated, although it is
known that at least fifteen of the ma
tional troops were killed and 81
wounded. 1t is generally believed
that at least thirty of the irregulars
lost their lives. The total number
of casualties suffered by Free State
forces during the capture of Water
ford was nine killed and nineteen
wounded.

was being: brought home to the pub
lie today through the announcement
Of leaders in several industries that
unless speedy settlement was reach
ed closing Of the plants with result
ing unemployment, rationing Of fuel
and food supplies, and crippling Of
public utilities service would result.
Steel plants, especially in the east
will be closed on a wholesale scale if
present conditions continue until 'Au-
gust, according to the head Of large
steel corporation. Industrial coal was
said to he unobtainable at any price
in New York. In Chicago increases
of from $5.25 to $15.25 in coal prices
were announced. A shortage Of coal
cars in bituminous fields has caused
an appreciable decline in production.
Official Washington still maintain
ed silence on the rail situation but it
was confidently expected that Presi-
dent Harding would begin action to
end the shopmens strike during the
week. ..
Hopes for immediate peace were
centered in the meeting today of Of
ficials of the Baltimore and Ohio
with representatives of the strikers.
Success in settling differences on
that road probably would mean that
other roads would adopt similar
course, it is understood.
Further spread of the walkout was
considered unlikely since the an
nouncement that the 10000 members
of the station agents union would re-
main at work.
Existing embargoes on freight have
caused a shortage of commodities in
several cities and lack of transporta-
ton has reduced the supply in a few
lines.

Tales Of a Wayside Tee
By GRANTLAND RICE

A puzzled golfer has query to put
before the house. He wants to know
why it is that so many golfers, stars
and buffers alike, are short on ap-
proach puts.
We wonder if he has any idea how
badly all golfers estimate distances on
the green? In this heavy underesti-
nation lies most of the trouble re-
ferred to.
Any number of times we have heard
golfers say, 81 missed six-foot putt
when it was good ten-footer."
When golfer thinks he is fifteen
feet away he is usually twenty or
twenty-five feet away and this under
estimation goes into the stroke.
Underestimation.
Some time ago, Bobby Jones was
practicing putting, with o. B. Keeler,
the eminent golf critic, standing near
by
Jones was short on an approach putt.
"How long was that putt, Bob?" Mr.
Keeler asked.
About forty feet" replied Jones,
who is an extremely keen-eyed golfer.
Keeler measured the distance and
found it to be exactly lightweight feet,
nearly thirty yards.
AS matter of record Jones was not
on the green at the time, since the
green only encompasses that space
within sixty feet of the pin.
Any number of golfers will complain
of not getting their forty foot approach
puts close, when they happen to he
seventy or eighty feet away.
If you hit an approach putt far
enough to go what you estimate as
forty feet and you are eighty feet
away, no wonder you are short.
Another Case.
On the fifteenth green at the Nation
al links, Jesse Sweetser and G. v. L.
Hooman, in their famous match, wers
about alike, just on the green.
Sweetser putted first.
How far do you figure he is away
from the cup?' we asked an expert
enced golf veteran standing within
short range.
"A good forty-hve feet, should say
he answered.
Sweetser putted and was ten feet
short. Yet he took twenty-four COM
plete strides to get up to his bali.
These twenty four strides by six
footer were easily seventy feet--and
this distance was still ten feet short
of the pin.
So in place Of being forty-fvs feet

On the run the best actual WORK vas

The shift in the wind to the soutb :
ward turned the second leg into lony
ana short board. The breeze was
hardly more than five knots when the
craft started on the second round. At At
once the fleet divided itself into two
classes. The leading boats, which were
Lea, Clytie, L'Esprit and Jean, stood
to the westward The other four Yachts
moved to the eastward, looking for a
better breeze.
When they came together, Grebe
crossed Jeans bow, putting all four
American boats into the four first nosi-
tions, Lea kept her advantage and was
the first to round the windward
mark. The light wind made the sec
ond beat to windward decidedly longer
than the other legs. The best work was
in 1;00:47.
One unfortunate incident marred the
final run home. AS the yachts were
midway to the finish line a tug, towing
three barges, cut across the course,
crossing between the three last British
yachts and the balance of the fleet. AL
though it did no real damage it was
most discourteous thing to do.

New Country Club
Will Take Title
To BrieIIe Farm

group of citizens of wealth and
enterprise, all either summertime or
permanent residents of a big commu-
nifty OF coast resorts on the Jersey
snort Just south OF Asbury Park, last
night added the name of the small but
beautiful borough of Brielle, NJ j. to
the. world OF sports and country club
activities. The new organization,
known as the Manasquan River Golf
and Country Club, is destined, be-
cause of its financial backing and espe-
cially because Of the physical charac-
teristics of site selected, to become the
best golf course on the coast Of New
Jersey
The new club, which also is intended
to play an important part in rod and
gun and yachting activities, became an
actuallty at an enthusiastic meeting of
the subscribing shareholders last night
at the country home of Edwin Ishan1. at
Brielle, n. j. The shareholders, who
hnaily, after months of work up and
down the coast, cut the clubs apron
strings with coupon clippers and made
the infant jump through, number sew
eral men prominent in the business ac-
tivities of New York, Philadelphia,
Newark and other cities, as we'll as
big string of Jersey shore natives, who,
according to Frank Ward O'Malley,
also can kick about the size of their
income taxes.
The site selected at Brielle is the
only possible location for an upland,
or hilly, golf course overlooking the
Atlantic Ocean along the New Jersey
shore.
The property will be taken over Ie-
gally by the club on September 16,
when the option will be exercised by
making cash payment Of 100000, now
more chan subscribed.
The big tract, consisting of 145
frontage, has long been known as the
Charles Osborn farm. The tract OF
land has been owned by the original
Osborne and their descendants for
more than one hundred years. Eighty
of the 145 acres consist of undulating
fields long under cultivation.
