Major Adee Tells of Work on
Battle - Front; Predicts
Unheard of Boom in
. Athletic Sports.
Operating on a shoe string is not
all done in Wall Street, according to
one Wall street man, formerly a
major of the 311th infantry, who de
clared that his battalion, made up of
N'ew Jersey and eastern New York
troops, had gone through all the
worst fighting last summer and fall
without a sou. The men were paid
in July and before the first of Au
gust there wasn't money enough in
the ranks to cash a Russian ruble
in a Peruvian market. Yet they en
joyed little comforts and luxuries.
In a letter to William Sloane,
chairman of the National War Work
council of the Y. M. C. A., Maj.
'ieorge T. Adee, of the .11 1th infan
try, t member of the brokerage firm
of Batchellcr & Adee. and the presi
dent of the United States National
Lawn Tennis association, told how
a "Y" secretary had kept his men
supplied with tobacco and cigarets,
with occasional chocolate and candy,
during the entire time at the front.
Furnished Articles Free.
"At the end of August we moved
to the American sector near C'hau
mont, and the early part of Septem
ber we went to the front and staved
there until ordered home, the .10th
of October," wrote Major Adee.
"When we went to the front a Y. M.
C. A. secretary, a Mr. Coe, attached
himself to my battalion and I take
pleasure in saying that he exposed
himself fearlessly at all times to
German shell fire. He kept the bat
talion supplied, with cigarets and to
bacco, and onte of twice a week he
would have chocolate, candies or
cake for every man in the battalion.
If the men had any money they paid
for these things, but if they had no
money he gave these articles to them
free. As the men were paid in July,
and not after that, they never had
any money so that at least 90 per
cent of these supplies were given to
them.
Mr. Adee declared that each man
had at least one package of cigarets
each day, and that the only thing
that the Y. M. C A. secretary re
ceived for the thousands of dollars
worth of supplies that he gave away
was several hundred francs that the
officers gave to the cause."
Athletics and Army Life.
In telling of the elTects, that ath
letics had on the building up of the
American army Mr. Adee mentioned
the effects that the army training
would have on athletics. Specialized
and discriminating training of a few
athletics for college sports, at the
expense of the development of the
remainder, has been killed by the
war, he declares. The Y. M. C. A.
emphasizes mass athletics.
"Yale and a number of other
schools in taking up athletics again
are going to institute a system of
mass training," he stated. "They
will develop all the students instead
of the favored few, and in this way
they will broaden the field of athlet
ics and will institute a much higher
standard of sport. There will be
many more intercollegiate meets and
games, and athletics will be stimu
lated generally.
"Athletics are going to boom as
never before, both because the
leaders are working harder to stim
ulate, interest and because the men
who have gone into the army will
not want to giveup their new con
dition. Daylight saving, too, is go
ing to help this movement greatly,
because the men will have an hour
more a day out of doors than ever
Warmest of (Meetings
When Old Friends Meet
The Lambs club of New York has
turned itself into a temporary home
for wounded soldiers back from the
front. These men are given all the
privileges of actual membership, and
strange sights are often witnessed
in that care free institution. Bayard
Veiller, the dramatist, relates this
incident:
"I was sitting in the lobby one
day talking with a captain of ma
rines invalided home after a touch
of pneumonia. He had been tell
me about a big southerner in U -company
a private and I judged
by what the captain said about him
that this Buck person was more or
less the fair haired child of the out
fit. "Just then the door opened and in
came a long, lanky indivdual drag
ging one leg behind him.
" 'By the living Jingo!' yelled the
captain. There's ole Buck now!'
"It was a pretty even thing which
was first into the clinch the oflicer
or the private. Well, they hugged
each other, they hammered each
other on the back, they yelled until
people came down from the floor
above to see what was happening.
Kinallv thev mimed rinwn a bit ailJ
went away into a corner, where
they sat, each with his arm around
the other's neck, engaged in low
toned conversation.
"At last the officer remembered
me and came back.
"'A great fellow, Buck!' he ex
claimed with enthusiasm.
" 'So I should imagine by the way
you greeted him. You a captain and
lie a private. Did I dream it or have
I heard that there is such a thing
as discipline, in the United States
marine corps?
'"You listen to me!' and the cap
tain threw the parade ground rasp
into his voice 'I was out in No
body Land for three days with that
fellow three days. And we didn't
have anything to eat or drink in all
tl.ut time. And every minute Jerry
was feeling for us with shells as big
as washtubs. You can take it from
me, it was some experience! After
you've shared a party of that sort
with a private you can't be formal
with him. A general couldn't.'"
Saturday Evening Post.
Profiteer Excuses.
"These profiteers," said Representative
Efh of Wisconsin, "accuse themselves
with their excuses. They remind me of
little Willie.
"Little Willi came horn the other day
Trlth a nice new golf ball.
"Lllk at the lost ball I found this after
noon, father,' he said.
" 'Are yon aura, my boy. the father ask
ed, that It was a lost ball?'
" "Oh. yea sir." an Id little Willie, "I saw
the owner and his caddie looking for it.' "
