In order that a train filled with all

Now. il has been everywhere an
nounced on different occasions during
the last few weeks not only that the

Foot Ban In Snow Storm

Six inches of snow covered the grid
iron at the American League ParR>at
Washington Saturday afternoon and a
northeast gale was blowing while the
football team from the Army and
Navy branches of Uncle Sam fighting
force clashed. The only score of the
game was made by the sailors, just
half a minute before time was called
in the second half None of the dis
tinguished officers of the Army and
Navy who were TO have been present
attended The three bands which
were to have furnished music for the
occasion also failed to put in an APP
pearance.
About 200 persons, made mp mostly
of enlisted men of the Army and
Navy, did attend, however. The game
itself was farce, the weather being
entirely too severe for good football
contest. In the first half the ball did
not advance 30 yards in either direc-
tion. The Navy team was heavier by
25 pounds to the man, but that of the
Army and earnedSfo them the only
score. when they pushed the Army NJ
the field and made its touchdown by
brute force.

A Visiting Clergyman breaches
on Temperance.

Yesterday morning Rev. T. Cries,

League OF the State Of Maryland
preached at Maryland Avenue NJ. +.
Church He took for mis- text Ezekiel,
Z :23: Make a change for the land
is full Of bloody crime and the city
full of yileness.S He said in part:
Ezekiel used to get the blues just
as we do TODAY and at times wished
himself out of this world Once when
in one Of these fits he had vision of
God, in which there was shown him
the vileness of Israel. God told him TO
look around and see the idolatry,
drunkenness and all manner of evil
going on. God said / want you TO
bear this message. Warn my people
Of their wrong doing and tell that /
will smite them if they continue in
this manner. Also lend hand toward
their betterment This is the way He
speaks to rs today We are not only
70 warn them, but we are to help
make things better. Each one of us
can do something and must DO some
thing toward making better the world
about us.
1--WE must pray. but prayer alone
will not avail God wants doing
Christians and not only talkin g
Christians. If we do not act the evil
will grow all bloody crimes can be
traced TO the legalized traffic. We
must fight this evil and it must be
done through the ballot, the law is
the only thing that will avail. We
must follow the principles set for as by
the two great parties. Democracy
cries majority rule. Yet twelve per-
sons can open a saloon when hundreds
protest. The Republican party cries
protection. God knows that we need
protection from the great monster that
is devouring the homes and manhood
Of America. We must arouse the Amer

awful results of sin. Let them see
the wrecked homes, broken hearts.
