Of those melodiouS echoes from
the recent past that assert no
strong vitality. It goes to familiar
sources both for material and
workmanship, with remorSeleSS de-

would seem to deserve occasional
relaxation. Sigmund Romberg has
already written a liberal share of
music. The always trustworthy
Otto Harbach is evidently destined
to be kept in action until as a
prolific American librettist he ties
the score with Harry B. Smith
himself.

GERMAN OFFICERS
 TRAINING CHINESE
Former Leaders Of Imperial Army Find Profitable Fields

Berlin, Nov. 22. CRJ-Formcr German officers Of the imperial army are very much in the fore as organizers both civil and military, m China. Those stormy pctrcls, who some years ago cherished cX- p"ctations of rising 10 dizzy heights on the wave of some revolutionary 'putsCh" or other, have found their hopes dashed. The Fatherland, to them, as become too utterly pro- safe, and they have sought excite 1ncnt i'll far eastern fields.
 Colonel Max Bauer, who died of small poX in Shanghai last May, Was Chiang kai- Shck's chief military adviser. lis successor, according to q writer in the ZWoelf-Uhr Blatt, is Lieut.. Col. Krichcl, Of Munich, for 1n"r fascist leader in Bavaria. Be sides him. the Chinese general staff has as advisers two other Germans, General Iindcmaun and Gudovius. The latter was dismissed from the EcichsWchr after the abortivn "putSCh" at kucstrin few years ago.
 Lieut. Ottfried Fuchs, former war ace, is in the Chinese air forces. Iaron vOn Wagcnhcim was Col Baucr's adjutant, and he continues m the same capacity to kricbcl. Major General IIummcl is reorgan- lzing the Chinese gcndarmcric SO that 1t may form q useful auxiliary force 10 the army.
 Tn civilian capacities, Prof. kcipcr. Dr. Blum and Dr. Mct2nor hold important advisory posts in the arsonals of Hankow, Ranking and Shanghai. One Herr PeigcI is controller of railways; Baron von krcitn"r is chief of police, and Dr. Stoelzncr is at the head of the Chinese radio service.
 The Chinese authorities, accord ing 10 the story, pay their foreign advisors very handsomely. Lieut.. Col. Kriebel draws $20,ooO annu- aiIy-about thrice the salary of a German minister at homo - and smaller German officials receive from $1O,O00 10 $l5,O00.
 A great number Of Germans are cmrIoycd in minor capacities, They are all restless and adventurous spirits. many Of them specialists in some branch or other. They have become utterly cosmopolitan and sell their services 10 the highest bidder, so the writer ayers.

NEAR EDGE

EMM1TSBURG, Nd, March 21.-
The Mt. st. Mary's baseball squads
have had almost two weeks Of
training and Coach Arthur Malloy
il about ready to WELD the prun-
ing knife. The Blue ami White
director has a difficult assignment
on his hands in a few particular
cases as some Of the new recruits
are crowding the older and more
seasoned veterans for regular posi-
tons.
This Is especially true with the
inffeld aspirants. Grady and
Sharpe are giving mike" Tracy
something to worry about Both
are smooth ground coverers and
perhaps have a shade the better
department. However, Mike" has
been swinging the old bIuIgeon
with characteristic Irish ferocity
and will no doubt retain his posi-
ton by this superiority.
First base presents q problem
to Malloy that will not be so
easily solved. Mccall and Buckley
have been alternating at this sta
ton, but neither have exhibited
enough to warrant their permanent
retention. If one or two of the
yanigan catchers live up to pre-
season dope Malloy may assign
Hemler to the initial sack as a
last resort.
This will not be strange TO
the Flying Dutchman" since
he has substituted there ON
several occasions and performed
like q veteran. He Is a dam
gerOus and savage hitter and
must be kept in the game either
behind the bat or at first.
The pitchers are rounding into
form gradually and give much
promise of performing well through
out the hard schedule. Murphy and
Faith, the port-siders, and Barnett,
a Highlander, will be ready to
take their turn in the box along
with the stand.bys, Lanahan and
Valibus.
Malloy Is partial to hitters and
devotes much of the practice ses-
sions to batting out the old
apple" He figures most college
games can be won in this way
and IL he has a fair fielding team
with some hard cannonading to rely
upon, a vast majority of the games
will be in the bag"
