GRETNA CAMP BEING HURRIED Legislature Will Appropriate Money to Put It Into Shape at an Early Day Immediate steps are to be taken by the Legislature to make available for early use the $160,000 appropriat ed for National Guard encampments but which was not utilized because of the call for Mexican border ser vico so that the Mt. Gretna camp site can be improved. It is the intention to employ this camp for some military purpose in the event of war with Germany and if the National Guards men are not called out too early in the spring they may be sent there. It Is expected that in the event of war this camp would be used for organiza tion of volunteer army regiments. Men are now at work clearing rocks and trees from the State prop erty at Alt. Gretna and water lines will be laid when the weather is more favorable. The improvements pro jected include a system of permanent roads built according to State stand ards, extensive water lines, a sewage system and other things which will be ffr the future. The armory appropriation situation is occupying the attention of legis lators who are trying to figure out what can be allowed on the amount carried in the Wliltaker bill. A big appropriation will undoubtedly be made. Prompt action will be taken on the Beyer bill for half pay for persons connected with State, coun ty or city governments who may en list. It will be considered by the "com mittee in charge Monday or Tues day.

The opinion says: "It must be borne in mind that the defendant could have engaged the deceased's entire, time; that its own employes were treated by him at various places in that community and that had he declined to answer any call of the defendant at any time of day or night to treat one of its employes, no mat ter where he might have been, the defendant could have exercised its power of discharge. On the day> of the fatal accident the doctor was an swering a call when his automobile , was struck at a grade crossing and he was killed. "It does not seem to us to be reasonable to hold that the I deceased under these circumstances could have been held not to be in the course of employment for the defend ant until he actually was engaged in his examination or treatment of the employe of the defendant on the premises of the defendant." The Board concludes that it would not.have power to set aside the agree ment of compensation. In another opinion the Board again refused compensation in the claim of Ida E. Smith vs. the City of Reading on the ground that nothing but hear say evidence was produced at the second hearing. It has also set aside the decision of Referee Snyder in the claim of McClemens vs. Hiynilton Company, on the ground that "The relationship of cause and effect must be established by evidence, not bv in ference."

Tlie Veteran Retires The announcement of the tournament retirement of Walter J. Travis re calls his last championship affair. This was in the Metropolitan hunt at Apa wamis in June, 1915. The Old Man had four men between him and that Met. title jubilee—the four being Jerome D. Travers, Percy Piatt, Oswald Kirkby and John D. An derson. It would be hard to pick four better men at match play,. Travers had beaten Travis something like four times in a row in amateur championships. Kirkby had beaten him in three successive tournaments. this being his last start, the ex-British champion and the winner of three American championships made up his mind to get all his revenge to gether and settle all old scores for a finishing touch. He then proceeded to beat both Travers and Kirkby, and in his final match against John Anderson also retired that hard-fighting player by sinking a thirty-foot putt for a three on the thirty-sixth green—a fitting finish for one of the greatest, if not the greatest, ot all putters In the span of the game. The memory of that finish against Travers. Kirkby, Piatt and Anderson will light up many a quiet even ing of retrospect in later years. Willard and War • Vi®" 5 ' f,shtcr has an a"bi In time of war it will be Jess Willard. Standing .J average trench, his head would be three or four inches above the top, and t.iose three or lour-inches migrht easily embrace at least one vulnerable spot. In a charge across the open Willard would be a target that even a blind gunner coulun t miss. All that would be necessary would be for aforesaid gun ner to blaze away in the Kansan's general direction. If Willard could be en cased in armor he would make a wonderful rampart fOr a company or a regi ment to use on defense. But to ask him to offer that immense bulk known as his anatomy as a target would be asking more than any other citizen would have to give. Besides, if it came to a showdown. 'Willard could prove officially that he was a circus man, and not a fighter. The Vet v. ? ns i drops out this season, baseball's major league veteran will be Wahoo Sam Crawford.
