 But 1t has not been easy for him to remain here either, he explained. On one occasion he was threatened | with quiet dismissal from the air force owing to an incident in which he became involved through no fault of his own. An important visitor spoke to him because nobody else spoke his language. The matter was 1 reported as a breach of discipline. The conversation should have taken place through channels"
 Fortunately the matter was ar- ranged" he added pointing out that, after all, it was not in the interests of the foreign office: That should be made to leave the air force.'" Despite numerous offers to pro- promote him, despite the fact that at one time he was offered every conceivable post of importance in every eastern territory controlled by Britain, Aircraftsman Shaw remains in his subordinate post.

 This little Irishman who, as col- 0neI in the British army, reigned supreme in the Arabian desert dur ing the great war. told me of his ef- forts to forget <. and be forgotten. He explained how even since he en- tered the air force as subordinate. governments all over the world have accused him of being the force be- hind native uprisings in their terri tories.
 The man who induced thousands of Arabs to rise against the Turks in the desert while Allenby's guns pounded at Turkish divisions in Palestine, deprecated fame. riches and worldly pleasures. He told me how he sighed to be left alone.

 "It has been suggested that took the name because of my friendship and admiration for Bernard Shaw. Quite incorrect. I did, howver. apologize to him for having chosen it and explained how 1t happened. GBS replied to this: That's all right he wrote, the more Shaws there are the greater is Shaw"
 But the fact that Lawrence chang cd his name did not prevent reports from being circulated from time to time, blaming him for outbreaks, in- surrections and rebellions in many countries, sometimes simultaneously.
 At one time, after the war. he had to go aboard with Winston Churchill on matters concerning British af- fairs in the east. The French gov ernment, he said. at first refused to let him cross France.

RING RIVALS BATTLE
Shields Is
Doeg's Foe
1880 Title Rivals Battle in
Quarter Finals of Net
Action.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. 10.
Johnny Doeg, defending cham
pion, faced Frank Shields, the man
he whipped in 1880 to gain his title,
in the feature quarter-fnal round
match in the mems national tennis
single championships here today.
Shields was a slight favorite to
win.
Berkeley Bell and Frank Bowden,
who scored the biggest upsets of
the tournament with victories over
Wilmer Allison and Sidney B. Wood,
respectively, were expected to pass
from the picture.
Bell, despite his fighting qualities,
was conceded little chance against
Ellsworth Vines, No. seeded star,
from California, while Bowden, al
thought posSessor of well-rounded
game, was considered hardly equal
to the task of whipping Fred Perry,
the British Davis cup ace.
George Lott, judging by past per-
formances, was given the edge over
Johnny Van Ryn in the other
match. Lott, who started the tour
nament with the avowed intention
of destroying the belief that he was
nothing but a doubles player, has
shown to good advantage all week.
