THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1916. ATHLETIC CLUB IN RACE FORJEMBERS Gene Helady, Harry Byan end John Madden Are T4in? Kv-" tion Getters. BASE HOESE MAY BE WIOTEB Gene Melady is suspected of having in his possession at least fifty appli cations all signed up for membership in the new Omaha Athletic club. Rivalry is keen among the captains of the various membership teams. Melady has turned in to the general chairman, Tom Quinlanl only a few of the signed applications, but other captains of other teams know that he has many more in his possession. They fear he is holding back a bundle o! jokers to flash at the close of, the contest at the end of the week, in the hope of bringing his team in for first place in the competition for new members. , . Ryan Going Good, Too. Harry Ryan, captain of another team, is said to have over fifty also, and thus far Ryan's team is looked upon as leading the contest. John Madden's team, however, has a good bundle, too, and at this stage of the game there is some question as to whether Madden's, Melady's or Ryan's team is actually in the lead. With some of the boys holding back memberships to flash at the eleventh hour, a .dark horse elemeat is intro duced into the campaign which makes the rivalry- all the more exciting.

MANY RUSSIAN PRISONERS , ARE.REACHING HOLLAND ff!nrrMDondnca of the Aaaoclatea ?rui 1 the Hague, Netherlands, June 1. There has been a striking increase in he number of escaped Russian pris ner of war to reach Dutch tern ary in the last few weeks, arrivals . Being reported almost daily. The fu gitives seldom come alone, usually ar riving in parties varying from two or three to a dozen. The increase is ap parently due to the greater facilities offered for escape by the German pol icy of utilizing the labor of so many thousands of such men in Belgium and elsewhere. The number of es capes into Holland in the last few months may be put at several hun dreds,, many of the men hailing from remote parts of the Russian empire. ' Tfce Urate Mlaetreh.

P. Putnam's Sons. It. II. ' The mere recital of a woman's struggle for position and pre-eminence in the world of fashion would be a sordid story.
