 And yet, although what we feel is only faint shadow of what they feel, we must express 1t. We be- lieve, confusedly but perhaps not altogether mistakenly that there is q kind of power in human love, power of sympathy and tender- ness.
 So we offer 1t, humbly, deeply grievlng, silently.

Horses Like It?

Major General c. U. Henry of the cavalry school challenged him as to polo. Any good, hardy outdoor game is Q fine thing for young offi- cers when they get to the age where they cant play football," he declared. Polo Is an excellent thing for that purpose. Also, riding to hounds, steeplechasing or any thing 1 nthat class is fine training for these men," General Henry said he thought the horses loved the game, too. aa r.l AH aY'

 There are less than hundred Of them. used to exercise army avl- ators, is was brought out in hear ings on the war department ap- propriation bill. Army officers should play polo, most generals agree, in order to kee pin tho best possible trim. But General Benny Foulois, head of the army air corps, admits that the value of the air corps horse is hardly commen- surate with the number of men TO- qliired to take care of them about one man per horse.
 The air corps has bands, too, which furnish entertainment for the garrisons. F'oulois says the bands can be dispensed with. Cav- aldy bandsmen tcot on horseback, but sending bands up in planes Isn't practical.
 "f have never been able to figure how we could use bands to drill with airplanes," Foudols admits.

The number of army deserters has been cut more than half since the number of civilian jobs began to be sharply curtailed. But hard times have also caused many de- serters to try to ro-enlist, where upon they are usually arrested and court -martlaled for previous de- sertions.
 The war department last year spent $125,000 on the apprehension of deserters. There wero 2237 de- serters apprehended and 2011 who voluntarily returned. Total deser. tions dropped from 10,471 in 1928 to 50S0 in 1881. It seems likely that improvement in army rations also hnd something to do with the decrease.

Gamblers Caught
 In Raid, Settle
Proprietors Pay Fines of $25, Frequenters $z Each

The emergency squad led by Patrolman Daniel J. Carson crash ed the doors of two alleged gam bling houses early Sunday morn ing and made 22 arrests. In police court today the two proprietors were fined $25 and costs each and the 20 frequenters had their cases nolled on the payment of $2 each.
 In making a raid upon 6 sus- pected gambling house conducted by Joseph Rocco, 43, at S4S Bank street the emergency squad had the sensation of watching one of the patrons taking a fly leap through window and dropping 25 feet to cement walk. Evidently badly jared by the contact with the walk and showing signs of sustain ing injury the unknown frequenter escaped in the darkness. The police have reasons to believe that the young man had something on his mind and may have a guilty con- science for more serious offense than frequenting gambling house. Officer Carson testifying this morning stated that about 63 cents were found on a table in the raid. Two of the frequenters, whose names were given as John Hanley, 23, of 499 South Wilson street and William Mikulskis, 20, of 1 North Leonard street were unable to ap- pear today. It was announced that the two men had been injured In an accident yesterday.
 Rocco was fined $25 and costs and placed on probation for six months. The alleged frequenters in his place gave their names as follows: Frank Serva, 20, 45 North Leonard street; William Mikuls- kis, 20, l North Leonard street; John Hanley, 23, e499 South Will son street; Stanley valaitis, 21, S1o Bank street; Charles Morkis, 25. 1O79 Bank street; John Milius, 33, l197 Sunnyside avenue; Joseph Davis, 22, 234 Alden street; Francis Wallace, 21, AZ Washington street; Joseph Russo, 23, 62 Congress ave- nue; and Siaveria Laudate, 27, 56
