name is Duke Kahanamoku. a
Hawaiian. who revolutionized the
art of natation. and was the first
man to swim 100 yards in less than
a minute.
Back in the days when the Duke
was champion of the world a 100
yard swim under so seconds was
rated marvellous feat. Since then
Johnny Weissmuller has clipped the
record down to less than 40 seconds.
But Kahanamoku came here when
Charley Daniels was the best SWIM

Kahanamoku lives in Hollywood

Years ago he was known as Pahoa
Kahauamcku, the Duke of Waikiki
Beach, near Honolulu. The With

Harvard. lived in Hawaii and had
something to do with inducing the
Duke to come to New York and
demonstrate his amazing speed.

BY W. r. McCALLUM.

THERES always something new
under the golfng sun, even in
these hot days, when the tenn
perature mounts as the scores
get lower. And William Ullrnan and
his group of playmates at Congressional
can be trusted to find out If the new
feature is any good. That Is, il they
do not originate it themselves.
Bill Ullman has been playing for
several years with regular foursorne,
composed of Thomas F. Flaherty. Maj.
c. T. Bennett and Ted Cummings.
The main idea is to beat Ullman or
the putting green. and that's hard to
do. For years they played puts. that
is. a quarter to the putt. the total num-
Der to count. and Flaherty. Bennett and
Cummings, after watching Ullman per-
form for few holes, were awed at The
uncanny technique he had developed
for laying an approach shot yard off
the green, then chipping the ball with
in few inches Of the hole to get down
in one putt.
So they conferred among themselves
to see if some way couldn't be found
to combat the monopoly he had on this
putting game Out of their conference
grew a new game, called the Animal
Game" which caused a big hit, and
has spread among other players at
Congressional Every shot has a name
and premiums are paid and penalties
incurred for the various shots, all OF
which have names under this jungle
farce on the game of golf. Here is come
of the nomenclature of this Animal
golf:
Long ball off the tee-"Jack rab-
bit"
Highest ball off the tee-"Flying
squirrel.
First ball on the green-"Ksn-

LOUGHTON'S feat of playing the
j l Kenwocd course in 63 strokes IS
on a par with ArmouT's stunt of
five years back. Indeed, the !nagnif1-
cent manner in which Houghton is
hitting the ball these days leads us
to wonder if he cannot break that 63
before the scoring season ends. At any
rate, after several trials, he broke Red
Cunningham's previous record by three
strokes and today, as is fitting. the
local pro holds the record for his home
course. OF course any performance
such as this Is predicated on fine put
ting and that's where Houghton made
his low score. The only fly in The

the guides sent back by the front line
troops. On up past the battalion
headquarters then on up toward those
little groups holding the front lines.
Post after post would be reached,
those going on duty would receive
whispered instructions from those
who were being relieved, and would
be turned over trench stores such as
cartridges, grenades and flares. And
then those whose duty in the front
was done for the time being at least
would start on back, grumbling as all
good soldiers do as they stumbled or
slipped through the communication
trenches. Gradually the group would
become larger as other groups, SINH
larly relieved, plodden YEARLY back.
And at last the entire new battalion
has taken over the sector, and COM
pany after company has phoned or re-
ported to the Battalion C. P. that it
has "taken over. Finally the old
Battalion commander is able to report
back to higher headquarters "Sir, the
new Battalion holds the line and the
relief is complete"
All over our Country the G. A. r.
is gradually passing on to the Legion
the duty of holding the line.
And with the full consciousness
that they have done their duty to the
utmost the surviving Veterans car
now report:
"The relief is complete.
The Legion holds the line.
All is quiet along the Potomac"
With the hope and trust that we
may carry on in the future as well as
they have done in the past, let US all
join in saluting these venerable and
honored defenders of our Country.

sent; and so he pushed his columns
west over the National Road with a
vigor which surprised Lee. At South
Mountain Lees rear-guard tried to
check the advance Zone can read the
story on those tablets on South Moun-
tain today but the Federal forces
were too strong. Lee had to fall back
toward the Potomac from Hagers-
town, ordering Jackson to meet him
at Sharpsburg, lest Mcclellan strike
with overwhelming numbers first one
part and then the rest of his divided
army. And along the Antietam
around the little town of Sharpsburg
was fought one of the most fiercly
contested battles of the war, brought
on because some Confederate General
was careless in taking his cigars from
his pocket.
Causes of War
After all wars spring from so many
different reasons that it would be
impossible to prevent wars by saying
danger lies in this" In our own his
tory we see many different reasons !:
The Spanish American War was
fought to free neighboring ill-treat-
ed subject nation.
The Civil War was caused by the
question of slavery.
The War of 1872 was to secure the
freedom of the seas, and to prevent
Imprisonment of our seamen.
The Revolution was brought on by
the continual growing desire of the
Colonies to govern themselves.
And when we examine the causes
of other wars we find an equally great
diversity of causes.
Trade rivalry brought on the
French and Indian War, which had its

else we would become too fond of it. !"
We who have served can do much to
help here. When war is in the offing,
men who have stood up to a foreign
foe land who therefore cannot be
accused of Sinking fight or of try
ing to avoid danger) can have a de-
cided influence for peace by adopting
acknowledgement attitude and by
counseling moderation and concilia-
ton before armed conflict is resorted
to.
League of Nations and World Court
Unfortunately Cor so it seems to
me) the question of the League of
Nations was made partizan issue in
1920. And so even today the question
of our membership is argued from a
politically partizan attitude rather
than from an unprecedented viewpoint.
But as the old generation of irrecon-
cilables in the Senate passes out, and
as we see the United States of ne
cessity taking part in deliberations
of the League as an unofficial obser-
ver," we begin to realize that senti-
ment is changing.
But the old prejudices die hard, and
strange as it may seem-we have
not yet even entered the World
Court. In private life we freely ad-
nit the necessity of having some i'm
partial tribunal to whom our quarrels
shall be admitted We recognize
the fact that we as individuals are all
too apt to be partial when our own in
terests are at stake, and that Courts
are the sensible way to adjust dis
putes and to decide cases. But we
still-due, 1 think, to the persistence
of the old political catchwords and
ideas-refuse to admit that our Ma

inception when Washington and his
little band of Virginians were cap
tured at Fort Necessity, and which
spread from America to Europe and
finally to India-a war on three
continents.
Religion brought on the Thirty
Years War in Germany, which
drenched that land with blood, and
left hundreds of ruins where once had
stood happy little villages and towns.
Race hatred sent the Balkan states
against the Turks, and disputes over
the spoils of conquest sent the Bal
kan states against one another after
Turkey had been conquered.
Love of conquest started Alexander
on his career, and caused him to
march his army eastward, conquering
all the then known world. The same
motive caused Napoleon-starting as
a lieutenant of Artillery-to become
Emperor of France, and as such to
continue his struggle for power and
to spread wars desolation far and
wide over Europe.
The desire for more territory today
is sending Japan into Manchuria, with
the possibility of drawing into that
arena Soviet Russia as well as China.
And along with other causes there
is the undeniable fact that many men
really love to fight. Particularly is
this so with boys and men who have
not seen the horrors of war, and
whose imagination tinges with roman
tic colors the ideas of battle. You
may recall Lees remark to Jackson
at Fredericksburg as they watched
the Union waves beat in vain against
the Confederate lines on Mary's Hill:
at is we'll that war is so horrible
