ONE-LEGGED SOLDIER
IS GREAT GOLFER
Leading English Professionals
Give Remarkable Exhibition
Under Great Handicaps.
DRIVING IS WONDERFUL
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 15. A remarkable ex
hibition o golf, under extreme handi
cap, was recently shown at the Sund
rige Park course during a foursome
in which the leading English pro
fessionals were the contestants. Pre
vious to the match in which Edward
Ray and James Braid were opposed
by Harry Vardon and J. H. Taylor,
in play for the benefit of the Lord
Kitchener- National Memorial fund,
Ert.st Jones, balancing himself on
one leg, repeatedly drove the ball
for distances well over 200 yards.
Jones, who was the professional of
the Chislehurst club, had recently re
turned from the firing line where he
had lost his right leg at, the knee.
It was generally assumed that his
golfing days were over. Immediately
lie was out of the hospital, however,
Jonej was back on the links.
In the khaki uniform of a lance
corporal and on crutches he made
his way to the tee from which Var
don and the others were later to
drive and gave one of the most
remarkable exhibitions the golfing
world lias ever seen. Balancing on
his Irft leg, Jones drove his first ball
straight as the flight of an arrow
235 yards down the course. Not one
ball, but a dozen, all flying as far and
as true as-the first. And never once
did he lose his balance. All the
rhythm and timing of the perfect
professional swing was there, and
many amazed golfers discovered that
"form" is really the thing after all,
whether you are standing on two legs
or one.
n. Will Do Better.
Jones naively remarked that he
hoped to do much better after he
gets an artificial leg fitted. So far he
has only been able to make a 69 on
his home course.
The spectators also witnessed some
wonderful play in the foursome
which followed. The match demon
strated that whatever may be its
other vicissitudes, war has not taken
a single ounce from the tremendous
driving smash ot Kay, nor has it
dulled in the slightest the keen edge
of Vardon's wonderful machine-like
play. These two masters of golf
fought out a wonderful match. Var
don made a 68, ten strokes under the
standard for the course, but Ray was
a miracle man that afternoon. The
witchery of his niblick play finally
set at naught the wizardry of Var
don's woods and irons, and he round
ed out the eighteen holes with a 66.
Braid and Taylor were more or less
eclipsed and it is no ordinary golfing
contest when players of their type
can be all but forgotten.
Classic Match.
The foursome had not moved be
yond the third hole when the big
gallery, which included a host of
Americans, began to realize that what
they "really were to see was a duel
between Ray and Vardon. Yet Braid
and Taylor were playing magnificent
golf all the way through. Taylor
was a trifle handicapped by a sore
hand and had most of the bad luck
in the match. Braid did some re
markable putting. He was constantly
down in three or four, but Vardon
or Ray were always on hand to halve
the hole and share the honors. Once
Braid sank a 30-foot put for a two,
but Ray with an air of supreme care
lessness ran one down from fifteen
feet away and took 'a similar score.
The driving was always wonderful.
Taylor and Braid were seldom more
than a couple of yards apart. Vardon
generally was ten yards in advance
of these two, but Ray, a little off in
direction, always had from ten to
twenty yards the best of the cannon
ading from the tee. It was a four
some in which it took a 3 to win and
oftentimes a two. Ray made a 3 on
a 454-yard hole after driving well
into the rough.

Christmas at County Jail
Finds Prisoners Well Fed
Prisoners in the county jail fared
pretty well on Christmas. Of the 160
prisoners at least half dined sumptu
ously on dinners provided by friends
and relatives. A steady stream of
baskets containing dinners and
Christmas goodies passed through the
jailer's hands alt day.
borne of the baskets of good things
came long distances, as, for instance,
the box of goodies and fruits from
far-off San Francisco to a youth of
good family who happened to choose
Omaha as the city in which to
thoughtlessly step on the toes of the
law just before the holiday season.
Several persons shared it, for the
youth realized it was Christmas.
"Mother" Ahlquist, who nas re
membered the prisoners for years and
years, passed out several boxes 'of
fruit, nuts, 'andy and other Christ
mas goodies. Every prisoner was re
membered. Isaac M. Romar, another
practical charity worker, assisted Mrs.
Ahlquist in making the strayers from
the "straight and narrow" know that
it was the day of days, even though
there is little peace on earth.
Christmas cigars were distributed
to the prisoners by Patrol Officer"!

Navy Department Holds on
To Oil Land Reservations
Washington, Dec. 25. Efforts of a
joint congressional committee to
agree on legislation for the relief of
claimants to lands in California naval
oil preserves' came to an abrupt end
today when the Navy department.
through Secretary Daniels, refused
to yield to any compromise proposals.
I he attitude ot the navy imperils
the mineral lands conservation bill
which had been before congress for
several years and in the opinion of
committee members will prevent ac
tion at this session.
The disagreement with the navy
has been over the Phelan amendment,
which would grant relief to private
claimants .of California oil lands af
fected by government withdrawals of
19W.
Two weeks ago a subcommittee of
each house was appointed, with Sena
tor Tinman as chairman, and witn
Representatives of the Navy and In
terior departments co-operating. To
day it abandoned its work when it
received from Secretary Daniels flat
rejection of compromise proposals
suggested by the committee and the
general land office.

Sam Chip and Mary Marble, like a

year since Chip and Marble, in their
characterizations of little Dutch folk,
first appeared in Omaha, but the mu
sical fantasy they offer as the feature
attraction of the current bill at the

"How Hearts Are Broken," at Boyd.
Nebraska already having gone dry,
the play at the Boyd is just about two

It is difficult to think that for the last

LOCUSTS THREATEN
CROPS TO SOUTH
Pests Swarm from Brazil and
Cause Great Havoo in
Buenos Ayres.
FARMERS DIG TRENCHES
(Correspondence ot The AHSOclatcd Press.)
Buenos" Aires. Nov. 30. The plague
of locusts that lias assailed the crops
nf the northern nrovinces of the rc-
Uublic is slowly working its way
soutnwara. i nese insects, lust-uivi
with an unprecedented drought,
threaten to reduce the crops by half,
and' in some sections by an even
greater percentage. .
The locust comes from some part
of the unexplored region of southern
Brazil and pours over the country in
great streams so thick and long as
to often darken the sun. From Pena
today there conies a dispatch saying
that a stream extending over thirty
kilometers has settled upon the fields
and left no green thing in that part.
Thryoung, hatched from the millions
of eggs deposited, have in place cov
ered the railway so thickly as to im
pede traffic and trains have been
stalled until the insects have been
shoveled from the tracks and burned
'in ditches.
Hard to Kill.
The government is waging a vigor
ous fight but seems to be making lit
tle headway. The department for ag
ricultural defense has 20,000,000 me
ters of metallic barriers for the pur
pose of penning swarms, which are
then burned, trampled by farm ani
mals or buried. This is accomplished
because the young locust is without
wings. It much resembles a young
grasshopper except its coloring is
much brighter, red and yellow, black
and green predominating.
From the eggs of the flying locusts,
which are always deposited on the
hard roads, millions of these bright
hued, hopping insects come to as
sault the fields on cither side'. Besides
the wire barriers the government is
also using an apparatus which re
sembles a gasoline blow pipe. The
farmers are being instructed te dig
trenches about their fields, drive the
hopping locusts into them and with
the aid of the gasoline blow pipe
burn the mass. Millions have already
been thus destroyed but telegraphic
reports from all over the northern
half of the republic report other mil
lions arriving.
So serious has become the situation
that the governmnet has threatened
to fine all farmers who fail to main
tain corps of men for the purpose of
fighting the pest, and the railways
have been asked to transport free of
charge all locust-fighting apparatus.
Cattle Starving.
Devastated fields threaten to occa
sion the starvation bf many head of
cattle and the railways, at the request
of the government, have made a 25 per
cent reduction in the rates for the
transportation of live stock, to re
main effective until February 28 of
next year. By this means stock can
he hauled from the devastated regions
to provinces of the south. The lives
of thousands of animals will thus be
saved.
The progress of the swarms of dy
ing locusts is daily being telegraphed
ahead, direction and speed of flight
being given so that the farm about to
be attacked can prepare. These tel
egraphic notices are published in the
press and have grown to occupy
columns.
The linseed crop has already gone.
At times a million tons of this has
been exported annually to the United
States. The promised shortage of
the wheat crop has caused a consid
erable advance in the price of bread
and the Agrarian league has peti
tioned the government for the impo
sition of an embargo on the shipment
of wheat in order "to obviate further
exploitation of the public." This is
the first time any such a request has
been made in Argentina, one of the
wheat and meat, storehouses of the
world.

Cheap Tours Over
Europe Are Things ;
That Have Ended
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Vienna, Dec. 10. Cheap tours
through Europe are considered over
forever by men (qualified to. speak
on the subject. 'The days in which
a dollar doubled and trebled in value
by crossing a border are considered
gone. The increase irtthe cost of
labor, taxation due to the war, the
wear and tear on all means of travel,
augmented by the neglect which the
war brought about, and the great and
general economic loss and waste in
cident to the present times have re
moved Central Europe from the list
of places where one could spend a
few weeks in great comfort and still
save the price of a first-class steamer
ticket. Travel after the war will be
as,, expensive in Europe as in , the.
United States, if not more so, some
believe.
At the present time such a thing
as an empty room in a Vienna hotel
has ceased to be. Nowadays a room
worth having in a Vienna hotel can
be obtained only by getting one's
name on the waiting list, and even
this is impossible if the would-be
patron is unknown to the manage;
ment.
Visitors still under' the impression
that Vienna hotels are run on the
old basis usually spend hours after
their arrival trying to find a room
and then end up by sleeping in some
hotel corridor on a cot at a price
which formerly would give them a
good room. 1 hose unlucky enougn
'to reach Vienna with a night train
may spend their first night in the
station. At one of Hie bcsT Vienna
hotels the price for a suite oftwo
roonfs and bath went up by 28
crowns a few days ago, this in
crease being incident to a general
rise which added from -2 to 12
crowns to even the plainest rooms,
In. Budapest conditions are possibly
a 'rifle worse. Even Sofia is seeing a
