Mr.. Hill. while In Chicago yesterday.

the recent action OF the Chicago, Buriing-

Books that might appeal to President

RADICAL CHANGES
IN FOOT BALL RULES
Game Will Be Played in "Quar.
tiers" This Fall, and Flying
Tackle Is Abolished.

Several radical changes have been
made in American foot ball, according to
the rules which will govern 1t this fall.
They were issued yesterday.
The changes adopted are revolutionary
in character and calculated to minimize
greatly the danger of fatal accidents ex-
listing under the old rules.
For one thing. the time of play ID
divided into four periods of fifteen min
utes' duration. instead Of the traditional
two halves OF thirty-hve minutes each.
The usual intermission of fifteen minutes
is maintained between the second and
third period. but an intermssion Of three
minutes only is allowed between the first
and second and third and fourth periods.
During this short intermission no player
will be allowed to leave the field, nor
will any one be permitted to come on the
field save only the individual who looks
after the physical condition Of the play
crs.
At the beginning O. the second hi
fourth periods the teams change goals.
DIT the down, the cettIve spot OF the
down. the possession OF the ball and ,iie
distance to be gained remain as they
were at the conclusion Of the preceding
period Of play.
Another radical change is that govern
ing the flying tackle. This has been en-
tirely eliminated by a new ruling which
provides that player must have one
foot at least on the ground when tack
ling an opponent. The new legislation
governing the forward pass will alter
materially the plaJ and aspect Of the
game.
This years rules provide that a player
Is only qualified to receive forward
pass who is At least one yard back of
his own line of scrimmage or occupies
the position on the end of said line. No
man may make a forward pass or kick
the ball unless he Is Ave yards back Of
the line of Scrimmage.

CESSNA PARK, Ill, August 1S.-Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon yesterday told the old
settlers Of Iroquois county that he prob
ably was addressing them for the last

garded as the opening Of the Illinois con-
gressional campaign. contained little Of
the usual vehemence OF the representa-
tive in Congress Of the eighteenth Illinois

He talked Of pioneer days and con-
trasted them unfavorably with the pres
ent. The political tinge only was intro
duced when he asserted vehemently that

During his talk the Speaker showed lit

piled cracked ice to his head and held

The Speaker contrasted railroad rates
Of the United States and European coun-

try were more favorable.

a LIMIT TO LOYALTY.
e Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: You and Toistoy arc both wrong
about the peace business. Patriotism is d
virtue. but unlimited loyalty is not. You
cite the fact a man serves the community
when he serves his family. True, but he
does not serve the higher interests of his
family if he helps it to rob or murder other
families. Unlimited family loyalty leads
straight TO the vendetta We need loyal
ties TO family. nation and mankind. limited
and supplemented each by each.
An American Indian educated at Carlisle
returns to his reservation to find his people
aDout TO go TO war with the whites and
not to be dissuaded. Military patriotism
moves him to join them, but he sees the
folly and hopelessness of the war, and re-
fuses. They call him a coward: but is ne?
And is not Frenchman in d similar posi-
tion when he refuses to night in an un-
necessary war with Germany?
We must defend ourselves at need against
savages or Orentals. but the advanced
Western nations are only one-efx-lliZatit,s.
permeable by the same thoughts and al
ready permeated with democracy. A de-
termined international party can save one
of them from permanent subiection 10 an
other; hence their great armaments against
one another are terrible anachronfsrn
AS TO the military oath, man ought not
to commit murder even though he has
sworn TO do Sc; and war. when unjust or
unnecessary, is murder.
