ATHLETES IN WAR
Walter Camp, Football Star, Will
Train College Men.
FOR ALL OVER MILITARY AGE.
In Manufacturing Cities Throughout the
Country Thar* Will Be Great Amount
of Guard Duty, and Mr. Camp Plans
to Rallev* Military of This Work.
New Haven.—The Internal Defense
league, nn organization to be com
posed chiefly of former athletes be
tween the ages of forty-five and sixty,
Is being organized by Walter Camp,
Yale's football adviser, for home guard
duty in the event of war. Mr. Camp
annonnced that the league would be
organized at New Haven, when ho will
start a body of prominent New Haven
business and professional men In a
course of physical training. The league
has been started by Mr. Camp at the
request of many former college ath
letes who are over military age, but
who are desirous of performing some
kind of guard duty which ordinarily
would have to be performed by the mi
litia. The object of the new organiza
tion is to make the regular militia
available for more Important duties.
Mr. Camp stated that for the past
few months he has been receiving nu

merous communications from former
athletes between fifty and sixty years
old asking If there was not some branch
of the service whore they could be use
ful. In the event of war it will be
necessary to guard railroads, bridges
aud munition factories, and many men
past military age believe that they can
get Into good enough physical shape to
perform theso duties.
The league will not be limited to col
lege men, but will be open to all men be
tween the ages of forty-five and sixty.
Mr. C'amp has mapped out a course of
training, which he believes will be ef
ficient and yet will not interfere with
the members' routine business duties.
The squad which went into training at
New Haven will give up one morning
hour a day at first—from 8 to 0—to
walking aud other exercises, which Mr.
Camp will suggest. The plan is to take
only light exercise at first, gradually
working the men Into shape until they
are able to tramp fifteen or twenty
miles a day without fatigue.
Iu the manufacturing cities such as
New Haven and, in fact, all over New
England, there will be a great amount
of guard duty to perform, and Mr.
Camp believes that if the older men,
who have already shown much enthusl
asiasm to do their "bit," can be worked
up to proper physical condition the mi
litia will be relieved of much of this
home guard duty.
After the league gets under way In
New Haven it is expected that the
movement will be taken up quickly
throughout the country.
BELIEVED DEAD FOUR YEARS.
Friend Now Says Ha Saw Manseau Re
cently.
Grass Valley, Cal.—Four years ago
word came to the relatives of Peter
Manseau that the young mau had been
killed by falling from a tower he had
be<?n repairing on the Mexican border.
The aged mother has thought her son
dead, and all the rest of the family and
friends held the same opinion until re
cently a letter was received from a
friend of Albert Manseau stating that
he had seen "Pete" at El Paso, where
he was acting as interpreter for the
government in connection with the mil
itary authorities.
ALL WEDDING GIFTS
NOT BRIDE'S PROPERTY
New York.—Think of it, girls!
A Jury In New l'ork decided that
all wedding gifts do not belong
to the bride nor does the wife
own all the household effects.
Mrs. Arfiy Pbllbroek Clark was
suing to recover lots of things,
including an automobile, all val
ued at $44,000, when the blow
fell. She said when her husband
brought action for divorce he put
a new lock on the family safe.
TO GUIDE AVIATORS
Plan to Direct Airmen as Ocean
Mariners Are Aided.
AN AEROLOGICAL SURVEY.
Dr. Walcott of Smithsonian Institution
Calls Attention to the Fact That
Nothing Is Known of Fluid In Which
Millions of Dollars and Hundred* of
Lives Are Invested.
Washington.—One of the most Im
portant steps In aviation preparedness
undertaken Is the effort of the National
Advisory Committee For Aeronautics
to establish an aerologlcal survey de
signed to serve aviation much the same
as the bydrograpbic ofllee of the coast
and geodetic survey advises on ocean
navigation.
During the past twelve months the
committee has been exercising every
means possible to advise and assist the
aerial arms of the government, both
for land and sea operation. This com
mittee has been able to assist in stand
ardizing aeroplane construction to a
certain extent, has met with manufac
turers of aeroplanes and aeroplane mo
tors in an effort to expedite the deliv
ery of machines to the government and
has been of great assistance In the so
lution of many other problems.
Now it proposes the serious consider
ation of the vital necessity of recording

anil charting the Irregularities of the
atmosphere so that our aviators In
peaeo and war may hare the benefit of
exact information both for their own
safety nnd as an expedient to efficient
operation of aerial messenger, recon
noissance and fighting service.
The committee believes the time has
come when aerological stations should
bo established atul maintained, espe
cially lu conjunction with military sta
tions maintained for the instruction of
aviators.
In a telegram read by President Al
an R. Hawley at the Aero Club of
America banquet in New York Dr.
Charles D. Waicott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution and chairman
of the executive committee of the Na
tional Advisory Committee For Aero
nautics, advised its members to urge
most strongly the establishment and
maintenance of the aerological surveys
over North America and adjoining wa
ters.
"At present," said Dr. Walcott In his
telegram, "practically nothing is known
of the movements of the fluid In which
shortly thousands of aircraft, repre
senting millions of dollars in invest
ment, will be Moating, and, wb&t is far
more important, they will be operated
by thousands of our finest, specially
trained young men."
HALF A TOWN IN ARMY.
Sends Many of the Young Men Into th«
Ranks.
Wilmington, Del.—One-half of Vtda
has gone to war, and two-thirds of the
remainder are preparing to enlist. Vlda
is a peaceful litt'e town near Mont
gomery. A recruiting officer of the
regular army arrived and found thir
teen young men of military age. Six

the recruiting officer, leaving behind
four others who promised to join them
when their private affairs could be ar
ranged.
Those who enlisted are C. F. Wright,
N. B. Wright, II. E. Hedgepeth. B. M.
Durden, B. D. Iledgepeth and John C.
Adams. They were accepted by the
Montgomery recruiting office. The post
master at Vida will be given $30, $5
for each man. under the rule of the
government allowing a postmaster $5
for every person he persuades to Join
the army.
SAUERKRAUT AND SLEEP.
Mrs. Miller Has a Recipe For Attaining
Old Age.
Lancaster, 0.-"Eat plenty of sauer
kraut and get lots of sleep." That's the
recipe for a long life of Mrs. Anna Mil
ler, who celebrated her one hundredth

minuet with a great-great-grandchild.
Mrs. Miller was born in Germany

Head of A. F. of L. For Univeraal
Training.
New York.—Samuel Oorapers, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, has declared himself in favor
of the Swiss military system for the
United States.
"We must have n preparation that
means a comprehensive development
of nil powers and resources of all our
citizens." snys Mr. Oompors. "In Swit
norland every man is a soldier—not
necessarily to go to war—but he has
the physical and manual training nec
essary to defend himself, his family
and his country. Under that system
the Swiss have developed a manhood,
i character, that challenges the admira
tion of the world. We will be satisfied
with nothing less in America."
