the death OF Mrs. Charles G. Smith, the

half after the kickoff the ball was
quickly advanced into Maryland's terri
tory. The Marylands took a. brace and
when third down was called Carpenter
again tried for field goal and again
failed. The ball was kicked out and after
swaying from side to side time was called
with The leather on Maryland's forty-fve
yard line.
SECOND HALE.
Tnss second half opened with Maryland's
hopes still high. and after the kick off
they took a brace for a time and held the
Cadets for a loss. The Cadets, however,
took the bit in their teeth and played
hard ball. DeCamps went around the erd
for 80 yards, and after gains through the
line Mccormick was pushed over for
touchdown. Carpenter kicked goal max
ing the score twelve to nothing.
The game from now on was fierce and
the last touchdown was the hardest one
of all. Maryland braced up and fought
every inch of ground, but their defense
was futile against the onslaught of the
Cadets. They hit Maryland's line hard
and rode it down, making gain after gain
until the ball went over the line.
Raymey was hurt and Campbell sub
stituted. With the ball scarcely half a
yard from her goal line, Maryland held
the Cadets like a stone wall, but on a
second try Mccormick was lifted high
and showed safely over. Carpenter again
kicked goal.
Kicks were exchanged. Ruloph was
downed almost in his tracks, having fun
bled the ball badly. Burns, of Maryland.

the end. Ware was hurt in rough

THE WAR NEWS.

The sensational rumors OF war between
Germany and the United States over the
Venezuela affair are not to be treated
seriously. We have no doubt that there
is a perfect understanding between tho
Kaiser and President Roosevelt on Ger
many's attitude toward Venezuela
In his late message to Congress the
President, in declaring the Monroe DOC
trine. said with emphasis: we do not
guarantee any (South Americana State
against punishment. if it misconducts IL
self, provided that punishment does not
take the form OF the acquisition o. ter
ritory by non-American Power.
Germany is not trying to acquire ter
ritory in Venezuela. She is simply try
ing to collect an honest debt, and it is
absurd to say that the United States
Government will interfere and uphold
Venezuela in any attempt to re2udiate
her obligations.
