of training of officers stationed at the
coast ' defenses of the Columbia, Col
oncl W. E. Ellis in command of the

ficers from one position to another and
giving them new duties to perform,
necessitating new lines of study.

San Francisco, Oct. 2U (TJ. P.)
Presidio student officers' today de
bated j the subject of whether . It Is
'better to be a' sentry In a. front line
trench or a sentry's "next relief. .
Last night ' the student officers
moved out of the trenches they had
oocupled for two days, to be con
fronted with copies of Canadian army
regulations. The first thing they saw
was that a sentry must never be
posted alone. There must be either
a double sentry or the -"next relief
must sleep within kicking distance"
so he can be enthusiastically kicked
in case of danger. The men lean to
the theory that In the trenches kicks
are more blessed to give than to re-
i celve.

Barehanded and unassisted In any
way. Charlie Willis, a Chicago man,
thrilled a large crowd at the corner
of Alder and Sixth streets Saturday
J noon when he scaled the 11-story Fail-
lng building by gripping the crevices.
Upon reaching the ninth floor Willis
climbed onto a steel ' framework jut
ting out from the building and gave
some hair-raising exhibitions of his
acrobatic skill. He then descended by
way. of the precipitous iron framework
to the second story, and, smilingly
bowing to the crowd, climbed into a
window and disappeared.
Willis was introduced to the crowd
at the flag-raising ceremony before the
Liberty loan bulletin board as "the
human fly." During his performance
he wore regular clothing, except that
his feet were snugly laced In a spe
cially designed pair of canvas shoes
with rubber soles.

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 20. Football on
a scale more extensive by far than has
ever been played on one field in a
specified time In the United States
will be presented on the parade ground
at Camp Lewis, Tacoma, between Oc
tober 30 . and December .15. There
will be 80 regimental games played
and the -honor for the victor will be
the championship, of the greatest of
America s. military centers.
The teams will play on a percentage
bases or in league style, similar to the
methods of baseball leagues. Camp
Lewis also will have the honor of
establishing the first football league
known in the United States, accord
ing to Lieutenant "Wee" Coyle, ath
letic director of the Three Hundred
and Sixty-third infantry regiment, and
himself one of the ' greatest quarter
backs the Pacific Northwest ever
turned out.
The teams, 16 In all, will be com
posed of enlisted men only.
It is believed that the schedule.
when arranged, will call for 16 games
a week, eight ,on Wednesday and
eight on- Saturdays, during the time
of the season.
"I have never heard of football being
conducted along such lines in the United
States before by a definite league or
formation of teams," said Lieutenant
Coyle. , "Already the men are out prac
ticing, and some-first class teams will
be entered In the race. The interest is
intense. Football Is a game typical of
the American spirit, requiring speed,
individuality, punch, strength and
sticking qualities.
"Interest in the games will not be
confined to one or two regiments, but
will include every regiment or unit in
the camp.

been invented for getting the black
diamonds off a lighter is to shovel
it into bags and hoist them aboard

where it has to be shoveled again.
Of course when we coal from a col

dumped right on our decks, but the
only drawback - is that we don't al
ways coal from a collier.
The work is divided into two parts
first to get it on board and then
to get it into the bunkers. The crew
Is divided, one gang going on the
lighter to fill the "bags by means of
Irish spoons, and the. other running
the trucks. Shoveling in the lighter
Is by far the most strenuous but
everybody turns to to get through
with the mess so the work goes on
with a will. One of the Interesting
1 things is the influence music has over
men working. At first we had no
band and the shoveling and trucking
dragged perceptibly af'er the first
heat. Later we got our band and then
the crew worked on and on apparently

Naval ceremonies are always more
r less solemn and stately, but a
burial at sea is one of the most
solemn of them all. To see a shipmate
put over the side at sea with all
military honors can not but make us
all think of the great question.
The ship's cook died suddenly while
we were at anchor, and expressed his
desire to be buried in his aBopted
element. In accordance with his wish
we got under way the next morning
and put out to sea. As soon as we
were IS or 20 miles out the engines
were stopped, the flag half-masted
and the ceremony begun. The entire
