TOMMY ARMOUR, Clarence Gam
l. Der and a few more of the big
shots in golf were to arrive in
Washington today to begin their prac-
tice sessions over the Kenwood course,
but the main question at Kenwood
was: will Walter Hagen be here?"
Every one agrees that the tournament
will be a success even If Hagen does
not show up, but they also aver that
some of the interest in the tourney
will be missing If The Old Duke does
not appear for the tourney. Knowing
Walters reputation for late appear
ances, they believe Hagen will come
here, but not in time for practice over
tn Kenwood layout in advance of the
tourney.
Kenwood has a half dozen holes on
which good golfers should be rapping
IN brides occasionally. But it also
has a half dozen holes where it is
like the first and second, fifth and
tenth. In the main, however, the course
LENDS itself to accurate hittingN which
need not be particularly long.
Our prediction Is that the man who
can bang in all the three and four
footers will win the tournament and
that the winning total will be somewhere
=
Tor the three rounds of the layout is
21O and probably one or more of the
sharpshooters will bust the par of 10
wide open for round or SO. But to
cling close to par for three rounds is
something else again. Any man who
goes around that Kenwood course in
20 wallops will be doing a sweet bit of
putting. The green's are big enough,
but that is not at all an argumet for
par golf. Sometimes it is far easier
to play chip shot than a long APP

leaving three-footer coming back, and
1t doesn't help the mental stability of
any golfer to come so close to holing
putt and then find a curling three
footer facing him.
The approaches to the putting greens
on the last nine have just been sodded
and watered and are so soft that a ball
hit to the approach will stay there, not
bounce on the green. So the pitch shot
must hit on the green with enough
bite to stay. 1t all adds to the tricki-
ness OF the layout.
AS the tourney stands today, 1t will
nave the finest entry of any open event
ever held about Washington, barring
the National Open at Columbia in 1921

half hundred men who can drive
them far and straight, as many who
can pitch with the best of them. But
the tournament will go to the man who
has the best putting touch.
Up to the green most of the pros
play about the same type of game. But
the man VINO can knock In all the three
and four footers will win.
We think man like John Farrell or

queens taste, will win the tournament,

 I Aiding in Stewards Prosperity fl

A comnunity's prosperity must be measured by floating wealth in the community plus local payrols, plus, such wealth as is brought into the community from outside The greater the distribution of wealth in community, the greater the communitys prosperity. Concentration of latent wealth spells stag nation in business and sagnation in business, spell hard times and poverty It is thus plainly to be seen that to have real prosperity in community 1t is that the community be provided with ample pay-rols and that wealth be brought into the community than is taken out of it.

FAMOUS TRIO ARRIVE SEWARD AWAITING 8
 B|C CAME HUNTERS

Three famous AlaSkanS arrived in Seward Wednesday from out the West, Captain Pete Wold, Capt. Chas. Madsen and Guide Walker, all of the Kodiak Guides Association, aboard their vessel, the MS Polar Bear.
 More history and adventure is wrapped around these three than could be related in the average volume. Captain Wold, veteran navigator of the North Pacific, has performed many 9 heroic act upon the high seas as has also Captain Madsen who, after com lmanding the Sea Wolf in the Arc tic for years, devoted years ashore as a trader, then formed the present big game hunting organ ization which, in period of but few years. has won national reputation. Walker, assistant to Madsen, a Westward dweller for wears, saw service on the Mexican border as a Texas Ranger, thence into the Yukon Territory where he became a member of the re- nowned Mounted Police.
 This is the type of frontiersmen in Seward today awaiting the arrival from Seattle of the SS Yukon and on which are seven Tor eight big game hunters who will enter the field under the auspices of the Kodiak Guides As 'sociation for 40-day hunt. The party includes MT. and Mrs. Jerstedt and MT. and Mrs. Thompson, all of Carlton, Oregon; Dr. Kinsoling and Jas. w. Jones of Bristol, Tenn: Herman F. Kort- Stling of Detroit, and possibly Barrett Willoughby. noted Alaskan authoress. Miss Willoughby had expected to board the SS Yukon in Southeastern Alaska

IN BEHALF OF THE chill
DREN OF THE NATION

The officers of the National Educa-
ton Association, speaking for the As
sociation's 100000 members and in
the name of the teaching profession OF
America, has reaffirmed the Associa-
TONS historic belief in the Importance
of education in American life.
We regret and condemn shortsight-
ed proposals, now current in certain
communities, to cripple needlessly the
effectiveness of the schools by undis-
eliminating and drastic reductions in
the salary schedules of teachers. We
condemn these proposals because they
involve a grave injustice to the schools
and the teaching profession, because
they attack American ideals and we'll

they would rob the children of the
Nation of their just educational
rights.

CHAPTER xxx

On April II, 1918, Washington re-
ported a 100000 increase in cargo tom
mage by the use of Dutch ships. In
fantry and machine-gun personnel Of
four divisions were promised for that
month.
The allies were at last thoroughly
alive to the necessity of an extraor-
binary effort to provide tonnage for
transporting our troops. After months
Of delay and discussion they realized
fully that the superiority of forces
vitality necessary to avert defeat must
come from across the Atlantic. E.
America had become their sole re-
lance, not only for the forces neces-
sary to save them from defeat but
for unlimited financial aid as well.
Mr.. Bakers first-hand knowledge Of
the situation in France enabled him
to give fresh impetus to the efforts
of the War department. With Gen.
Peyton G. March as chief Of staff, the
general staff and the supply depart
ments began to exert more energy.
The war industries board, reorganized
under the leadership of r. NJ. Baruch,
had taken definite control and direc-
ton of the nations industries with the
sole aim of aiding us to win the war.
In the face of the crisis, activity at
home had at last replaced the ap-
parent deliberation of our first year
in the war. Our hope for an improve
ment in methods and more CON-
petent coordination of effort seemed
about to be realized.
First Division Moves Up.

sion was withdrawn from the line near

maneuver in open warfare before
taking its place on the front. Both
officers and men were in splendid

the test of actual battle.

the French Fifth army, to which the
First had been assigned, came along
to witness the maneuver, and spoke
highly of the troops and their eff

GUS public officials interested in
highway development.
The 1905 trans-continental race
was far moro than sporting contest
1t was test of the capabilities of tho
then-derided automobile. The fact
that these motoring pioneers sue
ceeded in overcoming all obstacles in
cult route did much to advance the
automobile in the minds of the
nation. The race also demonstrated
the crying need for improved high
ways and is credited with giving the
first stimulus to road building in
many states. -
Conditions encountered by these
early racers are unbelievable today
They Travelled in seas of water and
indication of where the road might
be; they were forced to ford streams
with water above the floor boards:
rutted, baked-clay roads wore out q
set of tires in 90 miles; one day they
scored 81 miles in 1715 hours driving.y
for days they drove over unmarked
prairies and deserts these were a
countered. That they. won through
to the finish astounded the country.
During the present tour Huss, tho
winner of that early epochal event;
will speak before civic organizations
in scores of cities and towns. He will
contrast the roads of 1905 with
those of 1881 and describe the bene-
fits derived from improved highways.
He will be accompanied on his tour
when compared to his 1905 "Old.
Scout" will forcefully depict the
advancements made in motor cars
as well as in highways.

Common justice demands that in
come reductions should not be eXacted
from those least able to bear the loss.
Teaching has always been an under
paid profession. Increases in teachers
salaries have always been accompan-
led by higher standards of prepare
ton, requiring large investments Of
time and money, in professional edu-
cation. The teacher today is paid
only seventy per cent as much as the
average gainfully occupied person.
The quality of teaching largely deter
mines the future of childhood. Teach
ing is already at, an economic disad-
vantage; to increase that disadvantage
is to strike the schools at their most
vulnerable point and to weaken the
one institution which can contribute
most to the recovery of prosperity.
The welfare and stability of the Ma
ton depends on a continuously effec-
tive educational system. To cripple
the schools, even for year or two,
means an irreparable loss in national
health, stability, culture, leadership,
and citizenship. We must not forget
the lessons of the World Wharf.-The
utter helplessness of the illiterate and
unframed man to cooperate effectively
with others, the tragic wastefulness
of poor schools or no schools at all.
AS citizens we redirect the attention
of this country to these lessons. Tenn
porary difficulties do not excuse the

when it becomes fact. The Ameri-
can government is represented here at
this conference and In the war, and
any action as to the supreme COM
mand that includes the British and
French armies should also include the
American army" =
The foregoing account of the confer
ence may not be an exact record of
the language used, but it is given as
my aid took it down.
The following resolution was then
read and adopted:
General Foch is charged by the
British, French and American govern
ments with the coordination of the &C.
ton of the allied armies on the west
ern front; to this end there is con-
ferred on him all the power necessary
for it's effective realization. To the
same end the British, French and
American governments confide in Gen
eral Foch the strategic direction of
military operations.
THE commanders in chief of the
British, French and American armies
will exercise to the fullest extent the
tactical direction of their armies. Each
commander in chief will have the right
to appeal to his government If in his
opinion. his army is placed in danger
by the instructions received from Cen
eral Foch."
Allied Commander In Chief.
The idea of an allied commander in
chief had been suggested and dis
cussed many times unofficlally. but for
various reasons, political and other
wise, it had never been definitely
adopted by the supreme war council.
With the distrust that existed among
the allies, it was not easy to bring
about the decision in favor of SUI
preme commander, and it was made
possible only by the extreme emer.
gency of the situation.
The designation of General FOch as
commander in chief of the allied
armies in France was proposed by the
French. April IS I received letter
from NJ. Clemenceau advising me that
Mr.. Lloyd George had approved the
suggestion, and asked if l agreed.
replied in a personal note expressing
my agreement subject to the confirma-
ton of President Wilson, which came
April II.
Once the question Of supreme COM
mand was settled the co-ordinated en-
ergies Of the allied armies could be
directed with maximum effect toward
a common end. While dark days were
still ahead, we were spared the cha
grin of inefficiency through lack Of
teamwork.

CHAPTER XxxIV

Now that the supreme effort must
be made on our part and when units
were sorely needed for immediate ac-
tive service it was found, much to my
surprise, that, although the divisions
then coming to France had been under
training for six months or even more.
they still contained large percentage
of unframed men.
AS already pointed out, the general
staff, when called upon to provide men
for special services, had relied upon
taking them from combat divisions in
stead of anticipating such require
ments and segregating these special
lists from the start and training them
as such.
This was a most vicious application
in time of war of very Objectionable
practice that had grown up in our
army in time of peace. 1t appears that
during the preparation of our armies
in the World war no other plan was
followed and the practice was carried
to such an extent that divisions with,
say, 25,O0O men, which should have
been held intact and each one perfect
ed as an organized team. were con-
stantly called upon to send large
groups Of their trained soldies to other

In view of their possible early en-
ployment l wanted especially to look
into the general state Of efficiency Of
our available divisions and give some
personal instructions about training.
Going the. rounds, met General Hir-
schauer, who was one Of the able
French generals, and found him very
enthusiastic about the Second, which
had been in line at Sommedieu under
his command, confirming my own opin-
ion formed from observation and re.
ports. He said that without doubt 1t
was then as efficient as any of his
French divisions. The First was fur
Their advanced than any of the others
and its morale was high at the pros
