When Lincoln Lived in Washington

Stevens during the engagement of July
II and II, 1864.
This old fort. somewhat restored a few
years ago, will always bring back recol-
lections OF Mr.. Lincoln, for it was here
that he stood under fire. It stands to
the rear Of Emory M. E. Church South,
In Brightwood, and is reached by the
Georgia avenue cars. It was at this
point that Gen. Jubal Early made sew
eral efforts to enter the city, but was
repulsed after the timely arrival of the
9Th Army Corps, under Gen. Horatio G.
wright. and other troops. Lincoln was
much interested in this engagement and
insisted upon bobbing up every now and
then to see what was going on.

BY Joseph H. Baird.

A United States Army invasion force
captures beachhead in Axis-held Euro
pean territory under a curtain of heavy
artillery fire from naval guns offshore
and, after heavy ground fighting, spear
heads its way to take an important
enemy air base IS miles inland.
After week OF brisk fighting, de-
fensible area is established and, mean
while, construction battallions have re-
paired the damage done by the enemy
to the air base before he retreated, so
1t Is ready for use by American planes
This base is highly important in the
grand strategic plan. If sufficient planes
can be operated from there, vital Axis
installations over an area of several
hundred square miles can be bonn
barded.
The general in command has planned
to run a pipeline from a nearby sea-
port to the air base to insure an ample
supply of gasoline from tankers. In
the midst of the operation, he is non-
plused to find that the supply ship
carrying the necessary pipe has been
sunk by an Axis divebomber.
To the generals great relief, his
executive officer thumbs quickly through
some files and informs him that a big
store of pipe is at a certain factory
IN an enemy town only a few miles
distant. The factory is promptly COM
mandeered. and the vital pipeline is
laid.
This story, as told here, is entirely
hypothetical, but it may we'll become
reality in the near future.
American Holdings Abroad.
AS a result of an unprecedented GEN.
sus of American holdings abroad which
is now being taken by the Foreign Funds
Division of the Treasury Department,

Officials had a laugh, too, over the
literal-minded American who reported
that, as of 1910, he owned two female
and one male goat In Italy, adding, Il
don't know how many there are now"
Then there was the extremely in
sular Brooklynite who included among
his foreign investments some Jersey City
bonds.
Investment Habits.
The intense check on transactions in
foreign funds which the war has made
necessary has given the Treasury some
insight into the investment habits Of
various foreign nationals.
For instance, it has been found that
the great majority of Italians, when
transmitting funds to their homeland
for investment, ask that they be used
to buy land. Apparently the idyllic ma
ture Of Italian country life is firmly
planted in the minds of her sons and
daughters.
On the other hand, Greeks. when they
send money home. usually ask that it
be invested In some manufacturing or
mercantile business.
Planning Postwar Policies.
For the present, Government depart
ments are interested in this census OF
American holdings primarily as an aid
to economic warfare. 1t enables them
to prevent the flow OF money from
American sources through a network
of subsidiaries which eventually may
reach the Axis powers. 1t is a we'll
known fact that even after the admin
istration had blocked the Axis nations
from receiving funds from this country,
millions Of dollars did reach them.
Often these funds were sent in good
faith to immediate subsidiaries in neu-
trail countries whose records were clear
Of Axis dictatorship but which had
subsidiaries extending into Germany,
Italy or Japan.
However, taking a long-range view,

At an early date, Capt. Osborn H Old
royd rented the upper part Of the build
ing from Mr. Schade and assembled
there what later became known as the
Lincoln Memorial Collection The build,
ing was erected in 1849; in 1896 the Gov
ernment purchased it from Mr.. Schade
for 100000 Meanwhile Col. Oldroyd re-
manned in the building and continued to
make additions to the collection. Upon
several occasions he refused to sell 1t TO
private parties, feeling that it should be
Government owned. In 1927 his wishes
in the matter were respected, and Con-
gress purchased the collection for

Football Contest Results In
 Three Tie

Old Man Upset didn't phase the Bradley Field grid prognosticators one bit as no less than three count 'em-three men picked eight out of twelve to take honors in the weekly feature. Sgt. Len Hardy of Section G came through with his second win since the contests in- ception and was joined by Sgt. Jim Kiely, we'll known Financier, and "Bucky" Buckmer of Section L. Navy's surprise win over ND seemed to be the biggest stumbling block for the grid guessers, while the Georgia Tech and Alabama de- feats ran a close second. So far we've been lucky in the fact that no game listed has resulted in a deadlock which, of course, will be counted as loss unless so called.
 This weeks entries are going to prove much tougher and they'll continue to get harder as the sea- son progresses. However, that won't stop our stalwart guessers. Rush your entry in to the Base Special Service office before the Wednesday, November fifteenth, deadline.

All men who have had some expe- rience in the ring game are re- quested to get in touch with Pvt. Al Provost who has been training the pugilists. The "ol' professor" and his assistant, Phil Caroselli, have quite a strenuous training schedule mapped out for the men and no boxer will ever be over matched.
 Bradley boxers have covered themselves with glory in the past and each fight fan had his own particular favorite. Such mittmen as Art Saulsgiver, Gale Harvey, Beau Jack Daniels, Jim Washing ton and the rest became popular throughout the entire Base and were often stopped in their off hours to recount some of their toughest battles.

 A working nucleus of Capt. Dewey B. Johnson, Johnny Gutow- ski, Al Singer and Bill Ward are available for this years squad but many more men are needed. Majors H. E. Burns and Jesse Davis are two who will try to bol- ster the positions left vacant. Each is a veteran of college and inde- pendent basketball and should add greatly to the Fighters power.
 Capt. D. B. Johnson, who. will coach the cagers once more, wants to make clear, however, that no position is "cinched." All men will have an equal opportunity of showing his particular skill and all positions are open. &,.N'
 The first practice is scheduled at the Base gymnasium on Monday evening, November thirteenth at 1900. All experienced basketball players are invited and are urgent ly requested to attend.

George Allen, former commls- siener of the District of Columbia, was the star quarterback of the not soon : to = be forgotten l9l6 Cumberland College football team. This club set record which in all likelihood will never be eclipsed in football history. It never won a game. It never scored a point. 1t lest to Georgia Tech, 220 to o.
 Allen remembered this fatal game wildly. "I spearheaded the Cumberland attack" he recalls. "Once I carried the ball around left end in a run that resulted in only an 8-yard loss. Another time l tackled Tech man on the O-yard line and hung around his neck all the way to the goal line"
 But the high point 1n the contest arrived during the closing minutes when Allen fumbled the ball and, as three Tech men bore down on him, watched another Cumberland stalwart shy away from the loose pigskin.
 "Pnk it up," yelled Allen.
 "Pick it up, hell," his teammate replied, "I didn't drop it!"
 "I hone I break even," said the race track tout enrOute to the track one day. "I need the money"

Speaking of good football teams,, Army has the greatest in it's history this year, and, according to L<Col. Earl Blaik, it's the best club he ever coached. Previous top Army teams were the undefeated squads of 1914, '16 and '22, all coached by the great c. D. Daily. Worst Army team in the book was the 194O outfit, which won one, tied one, lost '. Top hitter in the min or leagues last season was Ripper Collins, 41-year-old ex-Gas House Gangster from St. Louis, now manager-first baseman of the AL bany club in the Eastern League.
