York, Troop E. 3d Cavairy, on Applejack. Sam, Applejack and their intrepid riders scoff at mere hurdles. Such tiny leaps, they think, are for timid horses and men. So the quartet in class 7 will show th tors h 0 leap over tables, a man being carried on a stretcher and over two men standing, holding a conversation together. In one event the riders will show how easy it is to fool a horse.

How the geological survey last summer carried surveyed lines through the most rearly impossible gorge in America, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, will be told to mem- bers of the Natlonal Geographic So- ciety at Masonic Temple tomorrow afternoon and evening by Col. C. H. Birdseye, chief topographical en- gineer of the survey and leader of the adventurous expedition. The party went through the canyon in speclally constructed boats and found it necose sary to shoot almost innumerable rapids, some of them dropping more than a score of feet in 100 yards. The boats were overturned many times and the occupants thrown out, but there were no serious injuries to members of the party. The trips through the Grand Canyon by boat have been few and in several of them one or more of the voyagers have been killed. Col. Birdseve's varty was thought to have perished when a great-rise overtook them in the sheer-walled capyon. The party's experiences when ' this unheralded wall of water bore down on it Zorm one of the most Interesting parts of Col. Birdseye's story. Pictures taken en route, the films of which were often endangered in overturns, will illustrate the talk. THE EVENING STAR, .WASHINGTON, D.

The loss of citizenship rights imposed by law jon war-time deserters, In the opinion | set forth by Mr. Denby, made the penalty for those who fought as long as there was fighting to be done “un- commonly harsh and severe,” espe- clally since many were “mere boys" at the time and were incapable of “a full conception of the statutory dis- abilitles which confronted them.” 8 ‘& 0s% 4% % <% o- XEXEXIXIXEX o-o% o ogeedes!
