EMPLOYEES TO CO
Dismissals or 30-Day Fur
loughs to Bring Grand
Total to Alb.

Two hundred and forty employees of
the Washington Navy Yard will be dis
charged or placed on 3o-day furlough,
beginning tomorrow. This will repre-
sent a grand total of Alb employees re-
leased under the program brought
about by a Slackening of the Nays
building program and the lack of or
ders for ordnance at the Washington
gun factory.
Capt Percy w. Foote, at the WASH
lngton Navy Yard, said today that there
are about 100 machinists in the lot due
for release tomorrow. When these men
are severed from the service, Capt.
Foote said, the naval authorities believe
this will take care of the reduction in
the force for this fiscal year. They are
hopeful that the Washington Navy
Yard will get additional work in order
to stave off further reductions and pos
sibly take back some of the men now
being placed on furlough.
In the batch scheduled for discharge
Or furlough tomorrow, Capt. Foote point

smiths, blacksmiths' helpers, 20 boiler
makers, 3 coppersmiths, sheet metal
workers, helper of coppersmiths, 16
boilermakers' helpers, 9 general helpers
laborers and an oiler.
There were 178 men discharged or
placed on furlough May S, and with the
group going out tomorrow, the reduction
program will temporarily be at an end
Some of the men are taking an outright

Then suddenly, he shot UP In mighty

Best Polo Pony of War De-
partment viii Occupy
Private Box.
Gen. Allen Rode Him on Euro.
pean Polo and Hunting
Expeditions.
BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH.


Living quietly and unpretentiously at
Fort Myer is an old, distinguished vet
eran of the World War, who, despite
his advanced years, still plays an excel
lent game of polo, rides to hounds with
keensst enjoyment and loves nothing
better than a nice jazzy ball with plenty
of pretty debutantes. One would think
that with his age and experience he
would behave with more decorum in
the presence of ladies; but, like many
battle-scarred veteran, this is not the
case. Feminine friends say that he
has most discomforting way of show
ing his affection by trying to nip them
playfully or rub his head against their
shoulders. At the polo ball last year,
when several pretty girls rode some
papier-mache ponies up and down the
ball room floor in a make-believe polo
game, the old fellow got so excited he
jumped nearly out of his box. How
ever, many famous warriors of history
have had the same feeling, and no vet
eran living can boast of greater popu-
iarity among his buddies than this old
resident of Fort Myer.
Gen. Summeralrs Companion.
Although himself little known to the
American public, his closest friends are
numbered among the Army's highest
ranking officers. He is one of Gen.
Summerall's favorite companions, and
no one holds his friendship dearer than
Gen. Henry T. Allen, distinguished
commander of the American forces in
Germany. In fact, we are told that
Gen. Allen first discovered the remark
able ability of the old campaigner
shortly after the occupation of Coblentz
His history until that time is little
vague. Some say he joined the Ameri-
can Army during the war. Rumor has
1t that his parents were French
Arabian, but upon that point there is
no certainty, as he will never talk about
himself or his past. However, when the

to serve the Army of his adoption.
Although he would not admit his age,
the dental examination incumbent upon
every one who serves in the Army re-
vealsd him to be about years of age
He readily responded to the name of
Hunter, which, were it known to have
been suggested to him by American
friends, might lead one to believe his
ancestry was Anglo-SaXon. However,
Hunter IS the name by which he Is
known today, and that Is the name
upon which have been bestowed the
honorS that go to distinguished vet
eran Of the World War.
Still in Active Service.
Although entitled to retirement from
age, Hunter is still in active service, and
him upon reporting for duty at Fort
Myer were the stables of the chief of
staff, United States Army.
Having been voted the best playing
polo horse of the War Department
string during the past season. Hunter
will be an honor guest at the annual
polo ball at the Willard Hotel the night
of May 26. There he will occupy a
private box, having previously been
taken 20 the pail room on the Centh
floor by the F street elevator. Hunter,
always obliging, has expressed no OBJ
lection to the necessity of having his
shoes padded the night of the ball, in
order to protect the floor from the iron
shoes which he wears.
Although at the advanced horse age
of 10 years, the old gelding is still play
ing polo, and it is said by those who
have ridden him, that he is most de-
lightful to play on the polo field. H@is
fast, sure footed, has good mouth, and
handles easily.
With these qualifications as a polo
horse, it is most unusual that he should
at the same time be an excellent hunter
While in Germany. Hunter was a IA
vorite mount of Gen. Allen, who rode
him frequently on European polo land
hunting fields. It is expected that Gen.
Allen will renew his acquaintance with
the equine veteran the night Of the
polo ball.
