ATHLETICS AID IN BUILDING
Y. M. C. A. Supervised Recreation in Canton
ments and Posts Creates Esprit d'Corps in Men
MORALE IN THE BIG ARMY CAMPS
Building men physically in the new
National army by means of the Young
Men's Christian association super
vised athletics and recreation has
given military officials a new realiza
tion of the possibilities in creating
morale, esprit d'eorps and the spirit
of "up-and-go-get-'eni."
When these men are eventually
given the order to "go over the top"
the physical training and discipline
they have received in the homeland
will then become perhaps their great
est asset. Evidence of the training
is found at Fort Omaha, Fort Crook
and Camp Funston.
Of course, one big purpose of
athletics in the army is to build men
physically, but very often this is the
least it does for them. Athletic ac
tivities are enabling officers to view
and gauge their men from a new
angle, aiding them to secure an im
pression of how certain men will act
under stress of excitement. Men of
the ranks, otherwise handicapped by
lack of education or lack of oppor
tunity, have their chance to make
good before their officers on the
athletic field.
Brings Men Together.
. Athletic competition in the camps
is bringing officers and men together
umler new circumstances and is tend
ing to narrow the line betwetn the
man above and the man below. Offi
cers have taken a surpisingly hearty
interest In the new work. They
have designated an "athletic officer"
in each regiment. He, in turn, ap
points an athletic head in each com
pany to handle details of the great
program yof inter-company ath
letics which has been mapped out by
the Young Men's Christian associa
tion and approved by the command
ers. Few of the regulars have indulged
in athletics before." Those who have
participated in college or high school
activities have not a great advantage,
aj'the sports now in vogue are dif
ferent from those generally used by
schools and colleges. Running re
lays in uniform, hurdling with rifles.
and carrying a fellow soldier 35 yards
are not sports prevalent on Ameri
can campuses.
Boxmg has been found so ad
vantageous from the standpoint of
developing limbs and muscles most
used in trench fighting or bayoneting
that what amounts to a military or
der has been issued, in some in
stances, requiring the entire division
to learn to box. There is an in
structor for boxing teachers in each
company and the company men in
turn teacu the boxers at the head of
each platoon. v
Boxing Popular Sport. ,
Much of this boxing takes place I
out of doors and becomes a form of
recreative sport for the participants
as well as a pleasure for the spec
tators. Officers and men alike are
now being taught to box.
i he all-around Young Men s Chris
tian association recreative and ath
letic program at the camps includes
also such games as soccer and rugby.
playground ball dodge ball, bull-in-
the-rmg, swat tag, three-deep, pris
oners base, chariot race, catch-ann-pull
and many others. There are also
track meets in which the strongest
kind of competition is usually devel
oped. '
At Camp Sherman, savs Coach
Conner, "our men have already used
up 1,600 indoor base balls, 1,100
rugby, toot balls, 80 association foot
balls, 100 basket balls and 200 sets of
boxing gloves, lhu indicates, I
think, that our men are fairly active
in play. Certain it is that they would
lead a lonesome life- not to say a
dangerous one wisjbut this one fea
ture of Young Men's Christian asso
ciation war work."
The experience at Camo Sherman
is typical of the use of Young Men's
Christian association athletics at
Camps Grant, Custer, Taylor,; Funs
ton and Dodge.
Thousands at Play.
Under the direction of the Young
Men's Christian association physical
directors, series of competitive and
recreational games have been devel
oped intil it is no uncommon thing
to see as many as 32,000 soldiers at
play in different parts of the camp
every day lor an hour, both morn
ing and afternoon.
. Early in the encampment discovery
was made that among the non-English
speaking men of the camps there
were thousands who could not make
two consecutive broad jumps. These
men required a type of recreation that
brought big, slow muscles into play,
so they were taught to throw the
medicine ball, put the shot, use the
heavy weights and dumbbells, wres
tle and grapple. Many of these slow,
weight-testing games they had
lnown to an extent in their native
countries.' Boxing was much too fast
tor them, out with a style of plav
which they could understand and par
ticipate in they soon learned how to
amuse themselves and at the same
time hardened and livened their mus
cles, Develop Quick Action.
Among the infantry enlistments the
recreational program aims to develop
quick action of muscles combined
with cool head. This end is being
accomplished by means of basket ball,
boxing,, base ball and other games
that require more or less quick action
and bodily contact. Agility of move
ment and courage to take punishment
are two soldierly qualities which these
games develop.
Artillerymen are given muscle
building games such as weight-lifting
and stone throwing or tugs of war,
because the nature of their work calls
for just such muscular or bodily
movement. Men at the depot sta
tions, from which other units are
filled, are developed all-around phys
ically with practically all f the games
known to Young Mens Christian as
sociation work.
WEMYSS BRITISH
FIRSTSEA LORD
Jellico Relegated to Seat in
House of Lords "in Recogni
tion of His Very Distin
guished Services."
i
London, Dec. 27. Vice Admiral
Sir Roselyn Wemyss has been ap
pointed first sea lord in succession to
Admiral Sir Joh,. R. Jellicoc, accord
ing to an official announcement is
sued this evening.
The translation of Sir John R. Jel
licoc to the honorable eclipse of a
seat in the house of lords and the
promotion of the second sea lord to
his place, briefly announced in an of
ficial communication tonight will con
vey but one interpretation to the
hiind of the general public in view of
the strong" criticisms for a long time
passed upon the admiralty, which
culminated, in deep disappointment
and dissatisfaction at the impunity
with which German raiders recently
again sank a British convoy. I here
is also a suggestion that the new
policy may mean an active offensive
against U-boats and their bases.
The official announcement says
nothing of Admiral Jellicoe having
for any reason desired to resign his
appointment; but merely announces
his replacement by Vice Admiral
Wemyss and the bestowal of a peer
age, "in recognition of his very dis
tinguished service."
U. S. BUYS THREE
MILLION TONS
OF CUBAN SUGAR
New Work, Dec. 26. Negotiations
for the purchase of a large part of
the Cuban sugar crop now being har
vested and amounting to an esti
mated 3,600,000 tons, for the use of
the United States and its allies have
been virtually completed by the in
ternational committee and the Cuban
committee, appointed by President
Menocal of Cuba, it was announced
here today. The price was said to
be $4.60 a hundred pounds, f. o. b.
Cuba,
The formalities of the agreement,
it was said after a joint session of
the two committees today, will be
completed within ten days or two
weeks on the return here of Sir
Joseph White Tod and J. Ramsey
Drake, the British members of the
international committee. They have
been making a tour of the Cuban
sugar fields as a result of negotiations
which were started some time ago.
Meanwhile, it was announced, Cu
ban producers will make every-effort
to forward their new crop of sugar
as fast as ships can be obtained. The
stringency also will be further reliev
ed, it was stated, by the release for
domestic consumption of 4,000 tons of
sugar for Swedish shipment which is
held here.
British Bombs Narrowly
Miss German Emperor
Geneva, Dec. 27. The German
emperor, returning with his staff
from the Verdun front, had a nar
row escape during the reprisal raid
of a British air squadron on Manne
heim on Christmas, according to
dispatch from Basel.
The emperor's special train left
the station an hour before the sta
tion was partly destroyed byxseveral
bombs. A section of the tracks was
torn up, cutting communication
north.
In fact the emperor's train was
the last to leave Manneheim, and no
trains arrived at Basel yesterday
from that city. Two bombs fell on
the palace, k and one on the suspen
sion bridge across the Neckar river,
both structures being badly dam
aged. An ammunition factory in a
northern suburb was blown up. Few
persons were killed at the factory,
however, as the employes were hav
ing a holiday.- A considerable num
ber of persons were killed or injured
within the town and several were
blown into the Rhine.
RATES NOT TO BE
CHANGED NOV. BUT
RAISE IS HINTED
Railway Commissions Will Act
as Before, Both Interstate and
State; Question About Ex
press Companies.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Dec. 27. "Rate ques
tions, including the pending 15 per
cent advance case, before the Inter
state Commerce commission will not
be affected immediately by President
Wilson's proclamation directing gov
ernment operation for railroads.
An early decision of the eastern
and western railroads' application for
15 per cent higher rates is now ex
pected. .
Railroads will continue to apply to
the commission for increases or modi
fications of rates and practices, un
less the director general issues spe
cific orders otherwise, and irf that case
his authority will be supreme.
Express Companies Also.
The principal rate questions now
under consideration by the commis
sion in addition to the 15 pervcent
case, are the express companies' ap
plication for. a 10 per cent increase
and various ramifications of the west
ern inter-mojntain cases.
Some doubt was' felt tonight
whether express companies are in
cluded in the president's proclama
tion. They wre not mentioned spe
cifically, but the president referred to
"every system or transportation and
the appurtenances thereof." This
was generally interpreted as includ
ing these companies, whose business
is so closely interlocked with that of
the railroads.
State railroad and public utilities
commissions also will be lett with
full powers to supervise intrastate
rates and transportation rules.
Hint at Higher Rates.
It is presumed that railroad will
apply direct to the Interstate Com
merce commission or to the state
commissions as in the past, without
referring questions of rate increases
to the director general, although the
procedure will depend largely on the
scheme of control to be worked out
by Mr. McAdoo.
In the 15 per cent cases, the "rail
roads presented figures showing
marked declines in net earnings this
year, and explained that even the in
crease in earnings resulting from a
15 per cent Increase, probably would
not suffice to check the decline. This
led officials to suggest that the gov
ernment railroad administration
might look with favor on higher rates,
since they would tend to reduce the
amount which government operation
will cost the public under the plan
of guaranteeing pre-war earnings.
Government to Back Roads.
Government backing will be given
to new issues of railroad securities
that a ready market may be found.
The president's move, although
forecast for weeks, came at this time
as a great surprise to nearly every
body in Washington, including rail
road officials. It had been generally
believed he would await the re-assembling
of congress before taking
any step. He acted through Secre
tary of War Baker, under authority
conferred in the army appropriation
act.
Direct management of the roads
will remain iir the hands of railroad
officials and the railroads' war board,
composed of five railroad heads, will
continue to direct actual operation
under Secretary McAdoo's general
supervision.
The chief practical effect of govern
ment operation will be to permit a
complete unification of at! rail sys
tems, impossible under private opera
tion because of statutes prohibiting
pooling of rail traffic and earnings.
The roads themselves had gone as
far as they dared in this direction,
and it became known only today that
they had been warned by Attorney
General Gregoiy that a violation of
anti-pooling laws could not be per
mitted. This situation was fully realized by
President Wilson, who in his state
ment declared the railroads had gone
as far as they could and that already
some systems were endangering their
earnings in attempting unification.
Russo-German Peace Meet
To Be Held Again in Sweden
London, Dec. 27. The socialist
revolutionary majority in the con
stituent assembly has decided to con
voke that body January 2, according
to a Petrograd dispatch to the Times,
although the Bolsheviki government
has said it was determined to prevent
the meeting of the assembly inde
pendent of its sanction.
M. Borovsky, the Bolsheviki repre
sentative in Stockholm, a dispatch to
the Morning Post from the Swedish
capital says, confirms reports that
Stockholm will be the scene of the
continuation of the Russo-German
peace negotiations. He says that the
sessions in Stockholm will begin early
in January, when all the delegates
now at Brest-Litovsk are expected in
the Swedish capital
9-Cent Sugar in Two
Weeks, Says Rolph
New York," Dec. 27. Within two
weeks virtually every sugar refin
ery in the country will be in opera
tion, according to George M. Rolph,
head of the sugar division of the
food administration, who returned
here from Washington today.
By the end of January.he assert
ed, 50,000 tons of sugar will have
been brought in and the consumer
then should get sugar at 9 cents in
stead' of the present price of 10
cents. He added that about 25,000
tons of raw sugar either are being
loaded at Porto Rico and Cuba, or
are on the way here.
MOVE BY WILSON
LONG SEEM COMING
Congestion of Traffic and Other
Problems Brought on by
War Have Made It
Inevitable.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Dec. 27. The railroad
ituation has presented one of -the
greatest problems that have arisen to
puzzle those who are directing for
the United States the prosecution of
the war. . Government control, now
ssunied hv Trpsidpnt Wi1mi al
though not offering an entire solution
for transoortation nrenlexities. nianv
officials believe will go far towards re-
leving many transportation ills.
War's demands nn railroad tarititi
were foreseen early by railroad of-
nciais ana nve days atte war was de
clared the heads of the principal sys
tems met in Washinfflnn and
a committee of five rail chiefs to direct
the roads as nearlv as possible as one
continental system. The five men
named were called the railroads' war
board.
Thev were: Fairfar Harricnn nf
the Southern railway, chairman: How-
ara r-iuott ot tne incw Haven, Samuel
Rea of the Pennsylvania, Hale Holden
of the Burlington and Julius Krutt-
scnnitc ot tne southern I'acihc.
The War board has sat rnnlinunuclv
in Washington since its organization
and has so co-ordinated railroad op
eration that the roads are said to be
CarrvinfiT 25 ner cent more traffir than
they ever moved before. As war prep
arations increased, tatiic became con
stantly heavier and a month ago the
war board named a cpnrat rmrratincr
committee for eastern rail lines and
announced that it would ool all track
age and facilities, induing cars and
locomotives.
No Opposition Shown.
Meanwhile traffic had crown tn siirh
proportions that the roads could not
handle it and in rhr rasr in niriirnlir
Lmany terminals were choked and con
gested witn treight. I he war board
l.as declared that the only way to meet
uie situation, eitner under government
or private operation is to deny trans

The war board, it is said, does not
oppose government operation. Nor,
it is said, do the hrotherhnnH rhipfs

MUD GREATEST FOE
OF H. S. ENGINEERS
Men Working Behind British
Lines Declare Almost Super
human Difficulties in Ter
rain Overcome Daily.
(By Associated Press.)
Behind British Lines in France,
Dec. 27. The most desolate pictures
that the illustrated papers have print
ed of mud in and behind the British
lines on the west front fail to do
justice to the ground that the Ameri
can railway engineers have laid tracks
across since they arrived on French
soil. Flanders mud is something that
must be experienced to be appreciat
ed; it cannot be adequately described
or photographed.
It is impossible to dig to any depth
even in the driest spot, without water
seeping into the hole. An officer
who came back for a few days' rest
after two weeks in the mud brought
with him only one souvenir a photo
graph of a piece of ground over which
Sick of Helmets.
"I am side of the sight of German
helmets and pistols and shell caps,
and all the rest of the ordinary souve

The scene in the photograph looks
like the Masurian lakes in miniature.
Instead, however, of dry land sepa
rating the chain of lakes, earth be
tween these shell holes and craters is
a treacherous quicksand, into which
a man would sink immediately knee
deep.
. Typical of Conditions.
"The snot nhototrranhpit is tvnli-nl
of hundreds of pieces of ground over
which we have to lay tracks," con
tinued the officer. "The fight against
the morass is just as real and just as
stern as that against the bpche."
To begin with there are only a few
hours a dav in which trip pnennppre

The work is divided i'ntn toMinn
with a working party for each, sec-

can be combined with the requisite
solidity of construction.
One party of engineers in an ex
posed position laid 180 feet of track
in what was virtually record time and
J"en had to stop as dawn came on.
When they came back the next night
to complete the remaining 180 feet
of tracks across, this exposed spot
hey found not only that their half
graded part had been riddled with
sneu notes, but that the track already
finished had eight shell holes along
its length. In a period of time ex
actly equal to their performances of
the previous night they graded and
laid the remaining 180 feet and re
paired the broken track as well.
There is not a little courage of the
cold blood sort required of the men
who carry out this very necessary
work. They are constantly beiiu
shelled and sniped, and without the
satisfaction, of being able to hit back.
