The ‘“tired” business man is the greatest booster for the net game. He finds that tennis fits in better with his mode of life than any other sport. For golf he has to wend his way out to some links that are far removed from his home. And, then, he doesn’t get the workout at golf that he does while playing tennis. Base- ball is unhandy for him for the rea- son that to play it properly he would have to hunt up a regular diamond which is a scarce article. Tennis courts, however, are on every hand. It doesn’t require so very much room for a tennis court. Up on the West Side along the Hudson you can find a tennis court in almost every block. The national tournaments in ten- nis are attracting lots more atten- tion now than they formerly did. Now the business men, clerks and thou- sands of others who play the game are interested in watching men like Norris, McLaughlin and Bundy per- form.

In the British army war flying has been brought to its highest efficiency. In peace times the Britishers were not going out for long distance records, like the Ger- mans, or for fancy flying; they were quietly developing flying as a war- time talent. And the results are now apparent. A World of Difference. If the American flying man wants to equal his British brother he must be ready to climb into the air in any wind. Snow, rain, hail and even darkness must not stop him. There is a world of difference between those hot summer days at Fort Meyer, in 1908, when the Wrights were show- ing their machines to the American army officials and wouldn’t go into the sky until all the flags were hang- ing limp in a windless air, and these war days of 1915, when an English flying man flies in tornadoes, if nec- essary. There is only one sort of a day on which the flying men do not ascend and that is the day on which the clouds hang low. This applies to all the'flying men in all the armies of Europe. The “low cloud” day is his day of rest. This was illustrated the other day when an officer of an anti-aircraft gun sent a shell into the sky to show me how the gun worked. We couldn’t see the shell burst, whereupon he or- dered a shell set burst at 500 feet above the ground. We looked into the sky, expecting to see a flash but there was none. The explosion was hidden by the clouds, which were less than 500 feet on a day like this could see nothing below him and, if he did come down below the clouds, he would present an unmissable tax- get to rifles and aircraft guns. Are Equally Expert. There were no days at Vera Cruz when the. weather prevented our navy airmen from flying and it is safe to say that our army airmen, few as they may ba, are equally ex- pert: In map-making the British army excels. There are field kits for map- makers by which small maps can be turned out rapidly; even colored maps can be made in the fighting zome. These maps show even the positions of scattered - houses, as well as bridges, windmills and haystacks, and they are so plentiful that even the non-commissioned officers may pos- sess them. How well Mexico was mapped in the war department at ‘Washington, no one but experts know, but there were no mak-making kits visible at Vera Cruz, and the only maps were those that were la- tion only and not necessarily for ad- vance, while this British army is outfitted and prepared to proceed to Germany. - WILL BE BIG.

LAKE MOHONK CONFERENCE ON INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION Mohonk, N. Y., May 19.—The Hon. John Bassett Moore, of Columbia Uni- versity, presided over the twenty-first Lake Mohonk Conference of Inter- national Arbitration, which opened here today. A large part of the con- ference’s times will be devoted to the discussion of international arbitra- tion, but consideration of the inter- ests of neutrals or of the world at large in the present European war and its effects will not be entirely excluded. However, there will be no discussion of the causes and conduct of the war in the form of direct criti- cism of specific policies or acts of any of the belligerentsETAIONNN any belligerent or group of belliger- ents. ‘ Hon. Lindley M. Garrison, secre- tary of war; Dr. Moore; Hon. Simson E. Baldwin of Connecticut; Hon. John Barrett of the Pan-American Union; Dr. L. S. Rowe of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania; Hon.

Knappen.and Arthur Dennison; o “the tircuit court of ap- peals, Cincinnati, and Judge Sessions, of the United States district court, Grand ‘Rapids. The bill _of " com- plaint:was entered by the Ann Arbor railroad company, a Michigan cor- poration. 3 The railroad seeks an injunction from the United States court to re- strain the Michigan railroad commis- sion and the.attorney gemeral from enforcing the:provisions of the two- cent fare law, which was enacted by the legislature of 1907. Practically every railroad system in the state has joined its case with that of the Ann Arbor in seeking to have'the low rate law krocked out. The court action follows the fail- ure of the railroad interests to obtain the repeal of the'act by the last leg- islature. i ~ Under the ‘auspices of a govern- ment bureau’Chinese carp will pe imported into Philippine waters where there is a dearth of food fish.
