YOUNG ARE ASKED
TO GATHER NUTS
Army Chemists Want Shells
to Make Gas Masks for
Soldiers Overseas.
AID ABSOLUTELY NEEDED
Bj- tlif Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 4.?Every
troy and girl in this country is again
asked by the United States govern
ment to help save American soldiers
from the horrors of-Gertnan gas. The
chemical warfare division of the
Army has urged them to gather every
walnut, hickorynut and butternut in
the woods about their homes this fall
to help make gas masks for the Amer
ican troops In France. It is from the
Bhells of these nuts that the charcoal
for gas masks must come for the next
six months or more.
There is said to be a ready and
profitable market for the nut meats,
making it practicable to turn the
shells into the government immedi
ately. Whole nuts can also be used.
For collection purposes the Red Cross
has arranged 160 collection centers
throughout the country for the con
centration of shells. They will be
ehipped from these points in carload
lots to the government carbon plants
at New York and San Francisco.
Boy Scouts and Camp lire Girls.
The Boy Scouts have enlisted the
? id of their 443.000 young members In
this work, as have the Camp Fire
Girls. Through the Department of Ag
riculture all county agents of that
department will organize nutting
parties. In addition every school is
urged to arouse the Interest of Its
pupils and to encourage nut gather
ing in every spare moment of the pu
pils' time.
The aid of the young people will be
absolutely necessary to supply the
1,000,000 pounds of shells and fruit
stones that the government produc
tion schedule calls for. The govern
ment cannot buy more than one-third
the necessary shells at present. In
l'act they declare that the shells of
all cocoanuts grown in the West In
dies and Central America, if they
; <ould be obtained, would not All the
. needs.
Shell Charcoal the Best.
1 They are making arrangements to
fret the shell from the East Indies, but
it will be months before this plan can
l<e put into co-operation. In the mean
while they must mix the available
shell charcoal with wood charcoal,
j This is not to the best interest of the
1 men because the wood charcoal set
j ties, making breathing difficult, and
it has not the absorptive qualities of
shell charcoal.
The people, because of the smallness
of the task asked of them, failed
to realize its importance and did not
respond well to the appeal made dur
ing the fruit season. What the help
of each person means is shown by the
fact that two peach stones or two
large nuts turned in each day by each
person in the nation would supply
the needs. It is hoped, however, that
no one will hold to this schedule, as !
there will be many unthinking per
sons' quota to AIL.
Gas Barrage Hon Factor.
Gas barrages for some time have!
been one of the principal factors in
(ivrraan warfare. Their mustard gas.
v. ith its horrible after effects, is one
i>f the worst atrocities of the war.
Lven now, in their retreat, the Ger
mans are using a non-exploding, per
forated gas shell, which they Are into
marsh lands and which makes the en
tire district into which they are 1
thrown a "section of death" for days
afterward.
This can all be successfully combat
ed if Americans will turn in their
hickory, brazil, walnut and butternut
ehella and peach, apricot.. prune, plum,
olive, date and cherry stones, for gas
casks for American soldiers.

The Ruthenians always have opposed j
the Poles in Galicia and speak a

BOLSHEVIK RULE
Newspaper Men Vindictive
Targets of the Soviet
Government.
LONDON, October 5 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).?Newspaper
men have suffered more than any oth
er class of Russians from the bolshe
vik regime. They are the only ones
absolutely unable to find employment
and who are condemned by the bol
shevik! to literal starvation.
From the very first day the bolshe
viki assumed control of the country,
fines. Imprisonment and suppression
of papers were more frequent than
even in the worst periods of the late
emperor's rule. The fines imposed by
the bolshevik commissars were in
comparably heavier than In the old
days, when 3,000 rubles was the maxi
mum amount. They fined papers 20,
000 rubles for publishing war news
without permission, and one Uoscow
paper was fined 30,000 rubles for the
same offense.
Four Suppressed In a Bay.
For spreading "provocative rumors,"
in Moscow alone, tn one day, four
newspapers were suppressed, five were
heavily fined and ten were Indicted
for "reports tending to discredit the
government."
The publishers could not stand the
heavy drain of constant fines, the edi
tors dreaded the prospect of & more
or less protracted stay in prison and
the reporters were afraid to write
about anything reflecting upon bol
shevik methods, as that might be
construed as an attempt to discredit
the government.
A newspaper acquaintance of the
writer, a member of the staff of a!
most progressive dally, after having
been twice Imprisoned and his paper1
made to pay a fine of 10,000 rubles for
an inoffensive article, confessed that
he was at a loss what to do cr how toi
write.
Join Banks Only Alternative.
Whenever public dissatisfaction be
came too pronounced the government
suppressed all non-bolshevik "bour
geois" publications. This example ol
bolshevik statesmanship was emulat
ed by the Petrograd and other spvtets
so that the Russian pi'ess entirely
ceased to exist.
Barring the official Izvestla, the Po
lice Gazette, as some workmen call it
?published by every local soviet?and
the organs of the bolshevikl and left
social-revolutionary parties, not a sin
gle newspaper is published in soviet
Russia at present. All those who
made a living by writing for the press
now find themselves .In dire straits
and face poverty and starvation If un

and join the ranks of bolshevik jour

Sidelights on the War
?BY?
OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
That the kaiser himself condoned
the terrible ravages perpetrated in
Belgium and that he is the author of
the "no prisoner" slogan is revealed
by Dr. Muhlon, former director of the
Krupps, who Is now a refugee in
Switzerland. He scathingly scores
Germany's course in the war, saying:
"The German emperor himself, in a
harangue to a party of officers, de
clared in effect that he now has pris
oners enough, and hopes the officers i
will see that no more are taken. ? ? ?
What a sequel to the kaiser's own
command in earlier days to the troops
about to start on the Chinese expedi
tion: 'No quarter will be given!'"
An officer told him that In Belgium,
in August, 1914:
"Our soldiers have already taken to
looting and pillaging to a very se
rious extent. ? ? ? The soldiers
have become brutalized. As they have
incessantly fired upon the population
and ravaged ever so many villages,
they have pretty well lost all sense of
proportion."
Discussing the character of Foch
and Clemenceau the two big figures
in France today, a friend of both said:
"These two men are a very peculiar
combination. They differ on almost
every subject except their love for
France. Foch is deeply religious:
Clemenoeau is a freethinker and a
radical. Republican France, remem
bering certain coups d'etat, used to
distrust religious generals. It is to
Clemenceau's everlasting honor that
he, the old- priest-hating raidical,
should have forced the allies to ac
cept a general-in-chief who goes reg
ularly to church."
Describing the construction of con
crete ships, which insures the world
against' the loss of its tonnage from
German submarines, one builder says:
"This familiar material is heavy
and cannot be made into plates. It
cracks easily and has neither tough
ness nor resilience. All this is true
enough, and doubtless concrete by it
self is quite unsuitable for shipbuild
ing, but when it is reinforced or
strengthened by being used in con
junction with bar steel of about the
thickness of a lead pencil the nature
of the composite material is entirely j
changed. The steel supplies the prop
erties which the concrete lacks?elas
ticity, flexibility, and tensile strength.
The concrete confers upon the steel
rods lateral stiffness and durability
as of granite itself.
"Ships, then, built of concrete con
sist of a framework of steel rods
with a few plates at the angles, the
whole being embedded in a mold of
reinforced concrete of a'total thick
ness of not more than three or four
Inches. If you take a circular clothes
basket and plaster it inside and out1
with clay, and allow it to dry, you '
have roughly an analogy to the na
ture and constitution of reinforced
concrete. The basket work represents
the steel rods and the clay the con
crete."
There are no "airmen" In the British
navy. Those who operate machines
are officially known as pilots or ob
servers. f
Faircloth and Other Stan at Great
Lakes Wanted by St. *
Louis Cardinals.
GREAT LAKES, November 4.?
According to "Rags" Faircloth. West
ern Association pitcher with the Great
Lakes club during the last season, he
has been offered a Job with the St.
Louis Cardinals next year if war con
ditions permit of resuming base ball.
Faircloth, a big right-hander, held a
conference with Manager Jack Hend
ricks in Chicago, recently, at which
Hendricks, he said, offered him a con
tract. It l\as previously been report
ed in base ball circles around the sta
tion that "Rags" was in line for a
job with Connie Mack.
With McAllister, a year ago Fair
cloth won thirty-eight games and lost
eight. His best box score in a gob
uniform was against the Norfolk club,
piloted by Bill Jacobson, in the Navy
championship series. He blanked the
seaboard club with five hits. He also
hurled several one-hit games for
Great Lakes, one against the strong
Rock Island Arsenal team at Rock Is
land, and another against the Racine,
Wis., team with Dick Crutcher, ex
Brave, flinging opposite him.
Goes on Sea Duty.
When the station team disbanded
several weeks ago. Faircloth was as
signed for sea duty aboard a mine
sweeper in the Atlantic fleet He car
ries a yeoman rating, third class.
"Rags" is a spitter, fields like a
shortstop and hits well over .300 in
the sailor circuit.
Another sailor reaching an agree
ment with a big league club is Joe
Doyle, known as the "Babe Ruth of
Great Lakes," who has promised to
play with the same club. Doyle ac
tually has Bigned up. He affixed his
monicker to a contract while In St.
Louis on a furlough.
Doyle is a third baseman, a big, rol.
lickish amateur who hits 'em a mile.
In one regimental game during the
last season he flogged a ball clear
over the Camp Dewey drill hall, a
drive that corresponds to a blow over
the Cubs' left Held wall.
A special style of contract was made
out for Joe by the national commis
sion. It specifies his base ball serv
ices are at the disposal of the St.
Louis club after he is mustered out
of naval service.

last few years It has become the great
two-year-old pointer to approaching
three-year-old form. Horsemen have
come to regard it In the light in
which the English regard the Dew
hurst plate. The youngster that takes
up his weight and wins It, as "War
Cloud did last season, is pretty sure
to go to the. post favorite in the Ken
tucky Derby or the Preakness of the
following spring.
War Cloud was favorite for the last
Kentucky derby, and after being
beaten in that great race by Exter
minator, Escoba and Vive America, he
came east to Pimlico and was .made
favorite for the division of the Preak
ness in which he started. Two of the
colts that finished at the heels of War
Cloud in last year's Walden?Jack
Hare, Jr., and The Porter?have made
good brilliantly as three-year-olds.
The only reason last year's race did
not attract Johren, the big Spearmint
colt of the stable of Harry Payne
Whitney, which has won the Belmont,
Lawrence Realization, Latonia Derby,
Suburban Handicap and Saratoga Cup

lame at Brookdale farm training for
it and was put by to Insure his stand

earlier winners of the Walden, Zeus,
Colonel Vennie and Ten Point after
ward made brilliant distance runners.
But they won the Walden when It
was a minor affair, a stake of only
$2,000 value. Since it has become a

have begun to keep their smartest
two-year-olds in training beyond the
ordinary time for their retltrement to

less of the lateness of the season and
the various setbacks, the prospects
for a team this year are very bright.

FOB FOOT BALL
?
Many Games of Saturday in
South Atlantic Section
Brighten Prospects.
With many oollerea tn the south At
lantic section enrared to games Sat
urday. the foot ball season took on
something of the hue of former sea
sons Nearly all the Institution* lo
cated In Maryland, Virginia.. North
Carolina and Sonth Carolina took part
In Barnes, some of them bis strangles
of former years.
Perhaps the three most Important
contests were those played between
Washington and Lee and Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, Clemson and
South Carolina, Maryland State and
Virginia Military Institute. One of
the big contests In former years In
this section was the meeting between
Washington and ]>e and V. P. I. In
Roanoke. Saturday the two elevens
played there again, the result being
a 14 to 0 victory for the Virginia
Polys. Prom all reports the contest
must nave been even better than some
or those of previous seasons. Both
Washington and Lee and V. P. L are
said to possess exceptionally good
material, and all that they lack of
being as strong as formerly is the
time to practice.
Clemson and University of South
Carolina play the biggest game in
South Carolina. The former is the
state college of that state and the
latter the state university. Great
rivalry always has existed between
them. Clemson won by 39 to 0.
Maryland State stands for about the
best that Maryland offers in the way
of athletics and Virginia Military In
stitute long has been known for its
strong elevena Quite a little rivalry
has been worked up between the two
schools in the last few years, and
Saturday's meeting showed about all
the fierceness of play that usually is
seen in a championship contest. V. M.
I. and State both are weaker than
usual, but Cheir scores of Saturday
compared in about the same way as
those of the two previous years. Two
years ago State won by 15 to 9, last
season the game resulted in a 14-to
14 tie and Saturday State won by 7
t? It is not often that two teams
fight through three consecutive years
in such close oontests.
Gallaudet's showing Saturday
against St. John's of Annapolis proves
that it has a much better eleven than
last year, one that will more than
ho'd Its own with most any of the
collegiate organizations around here,
jp"?| Kendall Greeners have not been
hit by the emergencies of war and have
retained all their old material and
received some recruits who are ex
ceptionally promising. Particularly
does it seem that Deer, one of the
backs, will be a "shining light" all
season. His work on the offense and
defense is good and his weight and
I speed give him an ability to smash
a line that few backs possess. Gal
laudet should make one of the best
records that has been attained by
any eleven it has put out in recent
seasons.
Catholic University got back into
foot ball with a game against the
Seaman Gunners of the navy yard. The
latter were heavier than their oppon
ents, but not so fast. The teams were
evenly matched and the score of 6 to 6
just about shows their relative
strength.
The Brooklanders were absent from
? B'idiron last year, having called i
off foot ball because of the war, but
now that they are back it only re- i
mains for Georgetown to play a few
games and have foot ball, as far as
number of college teams taking part
is concerned, back about where it was
on a peace-time basis.
Pennsylvania met with another re
verse Saturday, dropping a contest to
Swarthmore by 12 to 20. Swarthmore
probably has not been so hard hit by
the war as the Penn gridiron forces.
The defeat was the second for Penn
out of three games. ;
Syracuse got the letter of Dart
mouth by a big score, leaving no doubt
about its superiority. The "big green
combination .. did not show anything'
like the power developed by the Syra
cuse men, and went down by a score
of 34 to 6. <
