FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

Inasmuch as the Maryland Nation
al Guard has not yet selected site
in this State for their encampment,
hopes are still being entertained by
the people in this vicinity that Sine
puxent may eventually be SO favored.
In view of the fact that the pre-
vailing opinion some months ago was
that site would be selected by jan
uary LIST and yet no action has been
taken it is now the general thought
that the sites offered in Western
Maryland have proven unsatisfactory.
If no site be selected within few
months, it is possible the encampment
will return to their former location
in Virginia for another season.
A survey of road running from
West Ocean City to Lewis store in
Sinepuxent has been completed and
rights of way have been secured from
practically all the property owners
along the proposed route without any
expense to the State.
Everything is now in readiness for
work to be started on this important
artery for transportation to the Ma
tional Guard Encampment site the
minute that approval is granted by
General Rockford.

Answering a call of DISTRESS Mon
day night, the coast guard cutter, Car
rabasset, picked up the gasoline yacht
Zodiac with her steering gear dis
abled, fifteen miles east Of the Cape
Charles lightship.
Early Tuesday, the cutter, after as
sisting temporarily to repair the dam
aged apparatus, arrived in Hampton
Roads after conveying and standing
by the disabled vessel through the
night.
Tn call for help from the Zodiac
was sent out shortly before midnight.
Reaching the yacht shortly after
she asked for aid, crew from the
cutter boarded the pleasure at,help-
ed to make temporary repairs to the
steering gear, and then assisted the
helpless crafts crew to hoist sails
with which the yacht made her way
to port.

France has certainly put crimp
in the tennis supremacy in the United
States. First Helen Wills gets trounc-
ed by Suzanne Lenglen; and then
Baritra and Lacoste come along and
show the way to Tilden and Richards,
the last two considered unbeatable by
anybody who ever swished racquet
against the cloth covered rubber ball.
What's going to happen next? Still
it is not to be expected champions can
wear their crowns forever. While
they are getting older, losing their
speed, their vision growing less keen
as the days roll around and perhaps
caught in the net of over-confidence,
it should not be surprising when
younger claimants appear to chal-
lenge their holdings.
Tilden has been in the forefront
of the nations tennis players for
years. It had been hoped that when
the time came for him to bow to a
younger man, that man would be an
American. But up to the present mo-
ment no native racqueter has been
able to take his measure, and he
yielded to the young Frenchmen.
Both the young foreigners are
spoken of as splendid sports. They
are ready yet to acknowledge the SUI
periority of the Americans game, and
predict that the Davis Cup will be
safe when the tournament for the
Worlds famous trophy is played in
this country in August.
Suzanne Lenglen has withdrawn
from the Nice tournament, and, there
fore, she and Wills can not meet a.
gain this season. She claims her
health will not allow her to engage in
such strenuous exercise so soon after
her struggle with Wills. Thus it is
as it ever was.

The Russian wrestler, Poddubny,
who was unbeatable until he met Joe
Stecher in this country, is to have an
other go with the American champion,
provided he comes through with vic
tories in the matches he has arrang-
ed. Stecher is possessed Of wonder
full pair of legs, which once they gel
locked around his opponents body
generally bring the shoulders to the
mat.
In Stecher's recent struggle with the
Russian, the scissors hold was wrap
ped around Poddubny,s body and il
was broken by the sheer strength OF
the foreigner. The second time, how
ever, it could not be resisted and Pod
dubny experienced the first fall in his
whole wrestling history.

Speaking before the Salisbury Ro-
tary Club, at it's regular Thursday
night meeting, Herbert C. Johnson,
General secretary of the local Y. M.
c. A., outlined plans and policies for
the conduct of Camp Oscar L. Morris,
the "Y" Summer Camp for the youth
of Salisbury.
This camp was made possible by
the late Rotarian Morris who left a
sum of $4,000 for that purpose and
who was instrumental, during his
lifetime and active service in Rotary,
in securing the cooperation of the
Club IN sending number OF worthy
boys and girls to Camp Fairlee, one
of the early camps operated by the
local "Y."
Mr.. Johnson stated that there are
a large number of boys and girls in
Salisbury and the county who need
the advantages of life in the open, un-
der the restraining influence of a
Christian citizenship training pro-
gram that takes into account the spir-
itual, mental, physical and social ma
ture of youth and who cannot afford
even the small fees that must be
charged to pay for the food consum-
ed. He urged the Rotary Club to help
the Y. M. C. A. make it possible for
these youngsters to attend camp this
summer by some method whereby
the yc0uld earn at least part of their
fee.
Mr.. Johnson suggested that the
privilege to camp for two weeks be
extended to the boys and girls of the
different Sunday schools whose names
are suggested by their teachers or
friends, and who have attended GER
tain percentage of their class ses-
sions. The purpose of training this
group for two week period would be
to develop from their number, out
standing leaders among the youth of
both sexes, who would be equipped to
carry on a constructive work among
their friends during the rest of the
year, helping the Y. M. C. A. touch
more young life in the community for
the highest ideals of life.
The speaker also touched on the
problem Of the Under-privileged boy
who did not go to school, whose par
ents were dead, or who left their chill
dren to their own devices for amuse-
1nent. Those who did not have the
advantages that other children have
to develop into useful citizens of the
Commonwealth. He urged the neces-
sity of gathering these waits of the
county together for period Of recre-
alton and help that a live-wire pro-
gram under "Y" auspices could offer.
Mr.. Johnson's main emphasis, how
ever, was, laid on the necessity Of
training boys in the right way of life,
rather than to reform them after a
wild oats experience that left the life
soiled and SCARED and broken.
Among some of the terse statements
from Mr.. johnson who has had over
10 years experience in work with
young people in the Y. M. G. A., were:
Every child hiss an inalienable
right to be well born.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 25 Pl- With more than two score mar riages, and swindles from women totalling over s1,O00,000, attributed to him by police, Robert Whitman known as Lord Beaverbrook" and under a dozen other aliases, was in jail without bail today.
 Arrested here yesterday after a pursuit of several years, leading across the continent and back again, the prisoner was held without bail for eXtradition to New York, on the specific charge of having fieeced Mrs. Rose Burken Of diamonds worth s125,000 in 1925.

 Whitman was taken into custody in the barber shop of hotel where he was stopping with q girl com- panion.

RIFFIAN WAR NOW
 IS NEARING END
French Dispatches Say Krim's
 Forces Are Crumbling

Paris, May 25 lPl-Abd- Fl Krinr's letter. brought ont of the Riff yes terday by a member of the French medical mission, makes no change in the Moroccan situation, in the view of the French cabinet. After 4 cabinet meeting this morning il was slated that the letter contained nothing definite and offered no guar antee nor proof of authority.
 Premier Briand on coming from the cabinet council said the letter was evidently 6 mancuyer by the . Rilttan chief to gain time in which to rortify his position and continue his resistance against the advancing French and Spanish troops.
 War Minister PainIeve declared that all was over with Krim, who is now seeking refuge.
 He no longer represents any thing the minister said.
 Both the premier and the war minister informed the cabinet that the submission of the tribes was proceeding rapidly and that termt- nation of the operations could be forescen for an early date. This inn pression. they said, was confirmed by the latest act of Krim. who was believed to be fleeing to the north. The ministers held that the letter could not modify the military opera unns, owing 10 it's vaguenesS.
 The French losses continue very light, according 10 military advices, and an active, efficient, generous policy of reconciliation with the tribes is being pursued.
 Any break in the operations at the present moment. it is held, would delay the pacincation of Morocco and make it costlicr in the end, The cabinet unanimously ask cd War Minister Painleve to send congratulations to the troops and Inc friendly chiefs for the humane and rapid manner in which the op- er@tions have been conducted.
 Measures or the defense o' the franc also were discussed by the cabinet hur nothing was divulgcd beyond tho statement that "in agree menl with tbe bank Of France. the most energetic measures have been taken. and these will be continued without inc least slackrninE,"

Alderman J. Gustav Johnson is the senior alderman in the common council and in the ab- sence from the city Of both the mayor and the president pro tenn. of the council the duties Of mayor become his. Although such situation rarely arises, there have been occasions in the past when 1t was Mayor Johnson instead of Alderman Johnson.
 Johnson leads the fourth ward delegation. He is member Of the finance commit tee of the common council and is one of the few members of that important committee who make it a point to attend all the sessions. Tho alderman works earnestly to take the best Of care of his constituents and rarely does a meeting pass when there is no resolution for 8 fourth ward betterment spon- sored by Alderman Johnson.
 He entered the council in 1917 as s councilman. He retired after two years, then re- turned as alderman from the fourth ward. Last month he won his third consecutive cleo ton to an aldermanie chair over strong opposition.
