THE ARMY-NAVY GAME

New York, Nov. 29.-All roads point
to the Polo Grounds today where the
football eleven OF West Point Acad.
envy, representing the United States
Army, and Annapolis Academy, repre-
senting the United States Navy. meet
this afternoon for their annual grid.
iron fight The spectator army will be
the largest in the history of the game,
and 1t is doubtful IL even the opening
OF a world series baseball game has
ever excited more interest among the
sporting and society element. Distin-
guished guests have come from Wash.
ington. including the Presidents fam.
lily and members of the cabinet and
their families, to say nothing of men,
bers OF the army and navy staff and
representatives OF the diplomatic
corps.
Both OF the squads have been put
through a severe coaching in prepare
non OF todays struggle. While the
Army has had some setbacks through
the Injuries received by Hodgson,
Captain Hoge seems confident of the
success Of his lineup. He is depending
largely on McEwan. Waddell and
Weems for strong, aggressive work.
Official figures of the weight of the
Navy players show that the team is
one of the heaviest that Annapolis has
ever sent out. The average of the
whole team is $50 1O-11 pounds, that
of the line 1877 pounds, and that of the
backfield, us pounds.
The Polo grounds accommodate Al
500 persons and all of the tickets have
been divided between the Army and
Navy except 5000. 1t is predicted that
prices for reserved seats will run as
high as $40 before the opening of the
game, as many of the best places are
held by spectators.

FRACTION OF A CENT
IN UNCLE SANS CASH
Shows in Treasury Statement
Through Holding of Uncollect-
ible Tennessee Bonds.

In the transfer of funds and securities
from one treasurer to his successor, as
recently instanced in the receipt given py
Treasurer Burke to retiring Treasurer
Thompson, comes to light fraction OF
a cent carried on the statement of ac-
counting. This two-thirds of cent has
appeared in every record of transfer from
one treasurer to another at least since
the civil war.
This fraction is part of greater
amount, 81 G66. 66 % cents, the face value
of bond of the state of Tennessee.
There are other bonds of the state of
Tennessee, held as security by the treas
urer to the total value of $685., 666.66 2-::i.
with this bond with its fraction of cent
included. There is no other bond of SINH
lar value in the lot, all being for even
thousands of dollars.
A sad fact about these Tennessee state
bonds is that they appear to be uncollect-
ible. While they have not been charged
to profit and loss on the books of the
government. they are regarded as ''un-
available assets. Many times the gov
eminent has tried to collect their value
from Tennessee, but SO far unsuccess-
fully.
The state defaulted on the interest on
the bonds years ago. Their time has ex-
pired and they still remain in the pos
session of the federal government. They
are not the only securities in the govern
ment custody which. are regarded as
unavailable assets.
Years and years ago. when the nation
was young, the government sold some
Indian lands and with the proceeds
bought state bonds; holding them for the
benefit of the Indians in the Indian trust
fund. placed under the charge of the
treasurer of the United States. The in
terest on these bonds, it was provided.
would be applied to the necessities OF
the Indians The Tennessee bonds were
among such purchases.
When Tennessee defaulted on the in
terest the United States made it good
to the Indians, regarding the charge as
a debt against the defaultng state, and
holding the bonds. Tennessee has never
made good for interest overdue or for
the bonds. They remain unavailable as
SETS and SO far uncollectible.

NAVY BOARD EXPLAINS
CHANGE IN NAVAL TERMS
Aim to Avoid Mistakes by mex
perienced Steersmen and to Sim
plify Orders Aboard Ship.

A desire to avoid mistakes that might
be caused by inexperienced steersmen
and a purpose to simplify the terminol-
board of the navy as the reasons for
abolishing the terms "starboard" and
port" as indications of the direction in
which it may be desired to throw a ves-
sells head. Announcement of the ban
ishment Of the time honOred words from
the navy's lexicon was made in The Star
yesterday. Explaining the reasons for
changing the words .starboard'' and
port to right and left" the general
board, in its official order. said:
1T is thought if a search is made for
terms that will indicate exactly what is
to be done, and that are familiar from
childhood to all who may become steers
men, no more appropriate terms than
right and left can be selected. Every
one turns to the right or left in civil life;
screw is right or left handed: in the
preliminary instruction of seamen they
right and left face and go squad or col
umn right or left, and moreover, these
are nautical and tactical terms. Ships
right and column left. and similar terms,
are constantly employed. Wheel right or
wheel left, or simply the order right or
left. is a direction to the man at the
wheel which can be instantly and ac-
curately executed. These orders also &C
cord with the motion of the arm and
hand when used in coming ship.
after careful consideration. the arsu-
ment in favor Of retaining the helm
esgnation-that it will take time and
trouble for those already familiar with
its use to adapt themselves to the pro-
posed change-appears to be decidedly
outweighed by the arguments for the
change. There would be less danger of
an order being incorrectly given with
the change in operation than there is
now or was formerly of an order being
incorrectly executed. The officers and
men. who give orders are trained to
think and decide quickly in moments of
excitement and can soon adapt them
selves to altered conditions, while the
chance of error on the part of new steers
men constantly coming on would GER
tainly be lessened.

Late Former Senator Henderson
ORIGINATED Humor on Dollar Value.

That the late John Brooks Henderson,
former United States senator from Mis-
souri,. who died last Saturday at his home
in this city. was the originator of the ia
miliar story regarding the purchasing
value of dollar in the old days is the
opinion of Joseph l. keefer, member
of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants
of the District of Columbia, who has lee
tured extensively on the life of George
Washington.
Mr.. Keefer declares that while lecturing
on the life of the first President at a
birthday party a number of years ago,
he told the old story about George Wash
ington throwing a silver dollar across the
Rappahannock river when a young man.
AT the conclusion of this anecdOte he
says that Senator Henderson. who was
present remarked:
.'Oh, well. dollar went farther in
those days than it does now"
