FOR A NAVAL RESERVE.
Plan Is Strongly Endorsed By As
sistant Secretary Allen.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE leading
feature of the annual report of Assist
ant Secretary Allen to Secretary Long,
relative to the naval militia, is his
strong endorsement of the plan for the
organization OF a national naval re-
serve. He points out that the experience
of the past year has suggested certain
changes in the original plan for this
organization as contained in the Dill
submitted to the last session of con-
gress, and he, therefore, urges that it
be again pushed with the amendments
prepared by Lieutenant Commander w.
II. Switzerland, who was, for part of
the year. in direct charge of the naval
militia bureau of the navy depart
ment.s
In substance that officer says that as
the personnel act has made the term of
service of enlisted men in the navy four
years, the same periods should be fixed
for the enrolment in the naval reserve
officer should be promoted in war time
with the regular officer with whom he
holds the same date of commission.
1t is also recommended that steps be
taken for the organization of a perma
nent coast signal system from the re-
tired list of the navy and the employees
of the lighthouse and saving service.
There are several thousand of these
men, and with a small appropriation
and an annual drill for a few days each
year they would be competent, the re-
port says, to take up their duties i'm
mediately upon the outbreak of war
With a retired naval officer in charge of
each lighthouse district, and an Of
ficer in charge at the navy depart
ment, and the necessary paraphernalia
at the nearest navy yard ready for use.
this necessary adjunct of war could be
put in working order in twenty-four
hours.
During the past year the. legislature
of Maine passed an act for the estab-
lishment of a naval militia, as did the
state of Minnesota. The department
undertook to afford the naval militia
of the country an opportunity to drill
at sea under service conditions, and
the offer was accepted by the governors
of all but one of the states having mi
litia organizations. The report states
in detail the result of the cruises in
each case, setting out the reports of
the naval officers who acted as inspec-
tors. and noting their criticisms with

in THE WORLD OF SPORT
Football.
PUNTs AND PASSES.
Ninth Cavalry and University Will
Play This Afternoon.

AT $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon the
Ninth cavalry eleven and the first team
of the University of Utah will line up
for match game on the university
campus. 1t promises 10 be in every
way an interesting contest. Both teams
are in fine condition, and are about
evenly matched in weight and playing
qualities. The soldier boys are, if any
thing, a little the heavier, but the boys
from the varsity make up in science
what they lack in weight. Groo, the
fullback. Will not be in the game On
account OF injuries sustained in the
former game on the fort gridiron. That
fact will give the soldiers a better
chance to play a winning game. The
management promises that the view OF
spectators on the bleachers will not be
blocked as il has so often before, by
boys hoodlumistically cr0wding over
the field. This alienation of the old
trouble will give the teams more chance
TO run the ends, and will make the
game prettier from the sidelineS.

over the telephone he declined to give
the lineup of his team at this early
date. Don't think from that" he said,
that We will not be prepared TO put 1t
all over you on Saturday, for we will,
and don't you forget it,
While eastern football authorities de-
clare that there has been little or no
Improvement in the playing of the
game in the past two or three years,
il is a notable fact that locally the
game has improved 100 per cent in
scientific qualities. The football that is
played this season by local elevens is
altogether different from the game that
was played by the same teams two and
three years ago. In the days when
football was new in Zion the playing
was all of the Individual kind, and it
was purely individual work that won
the games. If a team were TO try to do
anything nowadays in that line they
would meet with defeat in every game
at the hands of an eleven with highly
perfected team work The individual
player is good now only as part of the
mechanism that goes to make up team
work. The game has gotten down to
a science that is almost as difficult to
master as the sciences that are taught
from the text books in the schools. 1t
may be possible that Salt Lake teams
have just gotten to the point where
eastern teams were a decade ago. At
any rate, the Improvement in the play
ing of the game locally has been great
and lasting

riages were crowded with wedding
guests in uproarious spirits becoming
10 the occasion.
The procession was stopped at the
gate. in spite of the indignant protests
of the guests and the tears of the bride.
and a thorough search resulted in the
discovery that the Iandaus were even
more full of spirits than the wedding
guests themselves. In the hollow shafts,
seats and even in the harness were
concealed $50 liters of pure alcohol.
LandauS and guests continued their
journey with sadly diminished spirits.

almost every device that practiced in
genuity can suggest.
The most amusing attempt to cheat
the customs. according to Nj. Simon,
was made by two men disguised aS
cOuntrymSn. One evening three men
were seen approaching the Menilmon-
tant barrier, uproarieusly drunk. The
middle man, who was unable to walk,
was supported by his two companions,
scarcely less drunk than himself.
The customs officers. amused at the
spectacle. began to chaff the drunken
men, and one of them playfully gave
the middle man dig in the ribs, which,
to the officers amazement, caused the
man to collapse, and his companions TO
bolt in alarm. The cause of their flight
was quickly apparent, for the drunken
man was India rubber. and his intox-
ication was sufficiently explained by
the fact that he was full to the crown
of his head with pure alcohol.

CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
Friends of Vice President Hobart
Are Greatly Encouraged.

Paterson, N. j.. Nov. 12.-vice Presi-
dent Hobart passed a favorable night.
and the improvement that has been OBJ
served for several days continued to-
day. He ate solid food with relish and
it promptly assimilated. With his
meals he took milk, and between meals
was given punches.
This is a marked change from his
condition ten days ago. At that time
he was rapidly sinking and his stom-
ach mad refused food of all kinds. For
several days he lived on grapes and the
juice of grape fruit. but it soon ap-
peared that his stomach was so con-
gested that he could not ever take
these.
Mr.. Hobart now spends most of his
time in reclining position and he sleeps
without the aid of opiates. The most
painful and alarming feature of his i'll
ness has been his attacks of nervous
ness as night approaches. These at
tacks have decreased.
Mrs. Hobart. who has spent nearly
every minute of her time during the
past two weeks at the bedside of her
husband, feels very much encouraged
and has had more rest than formerly.
