Copyright, 1898, the Associated Press.
London, November ga majority OF
the people here have been convinced that
war between Great Britain and France
is inevitable sooner or later, and many
expressions of regret were heard today at
the military and other clubs that the con-
fiiot. apparently, is not to take place in
the near future, as it is the general be-
lief that the army and navy are in per-
feet state Of preparedness. The general
feeling In the country is such as would
endorse any warlike action upon the
part of the government. In any case,
work at the arsenals and dockyards
actively and silently continues and infor.
nation op the subject has been curtailed
to an unprecedented point. All the
officials have strict orders not to talk.
The British Admiralty has suspended it's
daily announcements OF the movement
of British ships abroad and the naval
men express the opinion that such far
reaching preparations mean something
Ear more than naval demonstration
The whole reserve squadron has assem-
bled at Davenpor5 and now Is completely
fitted out and ready to sail at few
hours notice. Besides this, eight re-.
serve cruisers at Portsmouth. three first
class cruisers, the Europe, ST. George
and Crescent, and five second-class eruis.

BRIDGToN ACADEMY, 90; WEST
BROOK SEMINARY, 0.

The Westbrook Seminary football team
was defeated Saturday afternoon by
Bridgton Academy on the grounds at
North Bridgton by the score of % to O..
Captain Twitchell Of the Seminary team
missed the train and as the regular backs
ere aw il was necessary to play substi-
tutes in these important positions which
seriously crippled the eleven. Tracey
oaptalned the team iu satisfactory man
ner but the absence of Twitchell had a
bad effect upon the playing of the team
as is shown by the score. The Bridgton
team was considerably heavier than Vest
brook and plays very strong game. Dur
ing the first half Bridgton scored three
touchdowns and kicked two goals. West.
brook played stronger game in the seo-
ond half, and Bridgton only scored once
and failed at kicking the goal
The game was well played by both
teams and good exhibition of football
Bridgton made most of its gains by q
very clever end mass play. A feature of
the game was the punt made by French
of Westbrook from the goal line to the
center of the field. Messrs. Miles and
Skillings for Bridgton and Messrs.
Thompson, Ito Tracey, Wilson and Niles
for Westbrook were in the game and
made number of good plays for their
teams. The line up was as follows:

MR. ROBERT B. MANTELL. THE GREAT ROMANTIC ACTOR.

Catarrh is chrome congestion OF somo
mucous mem brane. The nerves, which
should guard the mucous membrane
against Congestion, are depressed and
their function partly destroyed. The
nerves that should control the circula-
ton in the mucous membranes are called
the vasa-motor system of nerves. De-
preston of the general nervous system
soon leads to depression of the yasa-
motor system. Depression of the vasa-
motor system of nerves at once causes
chronic catarrh.
ANY remedy to effect radical cure
of chronic catarrhmust operate directly
through the nerves, invigorating the
mucous circulation.
