ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Oct 5.-That the
Navy team. in its first engagement
with the University of Pittsburgh, did
all that could be expected of a team
which had bs.en together but five days,
Is the opinion expressed today by the
coaches. 20 have gotten a scoreless
tie with the strong Pittsburgh team,
which has been together for three weeks
or more, is taken to mean that the
showing made by the service eleven is
what was expected.
No trouble is feared from George
town University on next Saturday al
though II Is known that the team from
= washington, possesses a number OF
stars In Costello and Murray and one
or two good linemen. At the same time
II is being pointed out today that the
Navy team would have easily won had
IL paid more attention to playing foot
ball. instead of taking liberties with the
rules.
Pittsburgh came here yesterday with
an eleven owning a good record and in
much better physical condition than the
team ii met. But five days have been
spent In getting the Navy veterans in
shape, and the pace told on the line
and backheld. None of the Navy men
appeared to be in condition. and a
string Of substitutes sent in during the
second half showed the advisability of
removing the first eleven before they
became too much used up.
=. individually the Midshipmen were
stronger than the visitors and. while
the Pitt eleven displayed a greater va

The forward pass was worked neatly
for substantial gains by Pittsburgh, but

Revision in the Senate

Every seat in the Senate will be
filled when Congress meets on Mon
day next with 81 democrats and DO
republicans. A working majority OF
six reinforced by the vice president
is not a great majority, but If every
democrat considers himself bound to
the pledges of the last national plat
form it may be sufficient for tariff
revision purposes.
If, however, some democrats prefer
to. serve local interests rather than to
stand up to the pledges Of the party,
then the democrats will be forced to
seek in the ranks of the progresslyes
additional votes. All told there are in
the two houses about 40 men with
national progressive tendencies. Some
have actually left the republican party
but more have not.
The Senate finance committee is
keeping in touch with Mr.. Underwood
and the ways and means committee,
and President Wilson is working cor
daily with both. The hope is that
real revision of the tariff to revenue
basis will be the outcome. Every dem
ocrat knows that crisis in the party
is near at hand and that the battle of
1916 will really be fought in the extra
session. There are other skirmishes to
come, but if the party stands firmly
up to its pledges in the extra session,
all skirmishes will but serve to
strengthen the party before the peo-

The site of Nineveh is almost perfectly

are two huge mounds concealing the pal
aces of the greatest kings of Assyrsid.
The lower or southern mound is occupied
by mosque and a village of consid
cradle size. Its name is Nebi Yunis or
the Prophet Jonah, for in the MOSQUE is
the tomb in which Jonah is said to have
been buried. The age of the tomb is
uncertain, yet probably it dates from
long after the Hebrew prophets time.
However. the place is now sacred. so

On Thursday the Opening Day

When President Baugh and Mag
nate Woodward get behind Manager
Molesworth and send him afield to
find two 300 batters, the home fans
have an assurance at once that two
such hitters will be secured. Team
work and pitching and fielding are
all desirable, but no team can stand
high unless it is equipped with bat
ters in the 300 class.
Manager Molesworth will get pair
of them in all probability, and if he
does this town should begin to get
ready to give him and the rest of the
team great reception on the open
ing day, next Thursday. A general
half holiday on that day should be de-
clared, so that all can give the city's
favorite outdoor sport good send
off.
This city had the largest attendance
at the opening game of 1912, and it
can repeat it's record then and in
crease it this year. Three other cities
propose to out do Birmingham on the
opening day, but not one of them can
do this if we are alert and ready.

Senatorial Deadlocks Abolished

Tennessee has ratified the seven
teenth amendment, joining Texas, Ar
kansas, North Carolina and West Vir-
pinia. The action of Tennessee carries
the number of ratifying states to 81.
Pennsylvania also ratified the amend
ment, and now the action of only one
more state is needed. The additional
state will be Connecticut, Rhode Island
Tor Florida. The legislature of Florida
meets April 8. The house of the Rhode
Island legislature has ratified the
amendment, and the senate may take
favorable action.
Georgia and Delaware were the two
states that opposed the amendment,
land to this day neither knows why it
kopposed reform of the Senate on
popular lines.

Recognition of China
vanced.

The first Chinese congress is to
eet next Monday, and at that time
speedily afterward it is said that
republic of the United States will
recognize the republic of China. Pres
ident Wilson has no intention of wait
ing upon the action of the other pow
ers, nearly every one of whom has
something up its sleeve. The course of
Philander Knox is not the course that
Secretary Bryan will pursue.
China has long been entitled to the
courtesy of formal recognition. That
country is no Mexico. There are no
revolutions in China and peace is as
normal there as revolution is in Mex
leo. More than year ago the Man
chus were dismissed, and the people
took the government into their own
hands. No one foresees return to
absolutism in China. The government
of Yuan Shi Kai is fully organized,
and a new and progressive China is
fpringing up. A new national spirit
has arisen, and this country should
encourage that spirit while showing a
desire to cultivate closer relations be-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-04

tween the two great republics of the
world. By recognition the cause Of
liberty and free government could be
throughout the world.
Fortunately Philander Knox and
Huntington Wilson are no longer in
power in Washington and the voice of
the people of the United States can
gain hearing there. 1t demands
formal recognition of China at the
earliest possible day.

Destruction Of wild Flowers

A representative of The Age Herald,
stro1ling on Red Mountain, ran across
Sterling A. Wood, who lives just over
the crest, and Mr.. Wood calling to
him. said:
.'The Age Herald Is making cam
paign of education and l want 1t to
add one more item of conservation to
the schedule. AS you know, my resi-
dence is in one of the gaps leading
over Red mountain. and last Sunday
evening as the sun was about to set
there was a sight to make the heart
of nature lover quite sad. Numerous
troops OF boys and girls, old and young,
and middle aged, were returning from
pleasure jaunts in the forest beyond
the mountain. Very many of the boys
and girls had hats full of wild vio-
let blossoms. Those who did not have
hats had their caps full. And the girls
had their aprons full. There were
thousands upon thousands of violets
pulled that could not be saved for the
purpose of any ornamentation, but
pulled for the pleasure of seeing who
could pull the most. OF course, none
of the pleasure seekers thought that
these blooms make seed and these seed
make blooms for those who come next
year and thereafter. This same process
has made bare all the woods and fields
nearest to the city and the process
continued will make bare those that
are farthest away.
Let conservation be taught in all
lines. Let us gather what we want and
can use and let the remainder live un-
til tomorrow"

Free Sugar and Free Wool

The two burning questions In taritf
revision relate to sugar and wool. The
growers of both in this country want
more profits. The duty on wool at
present is about II cents a pound and
the duty on sugar is trifle below z
cents. These bonuses the home grow
.ers naturally desire to retain.
But when wheat and other products
are put on the free list-where cotton
always has been--why should not
sugar and wool be put there also?
Sugar is no more entitled to a bounty
than wheat, nor is wool any more en-
titled to artificial stimulation than
cotton.
This seems to be the right time to
put sugar and wool on the free list,
because the losses in revenue can be
made good in an income tax that no
five-by-four decision of the supreme
court can upset.
Give the consumers cheaper
breakfast table and cheaper clothing.
The democratic party stands pledged
to do this, and the hope is that the
President and both branches of Con-
gress will live fully up to the Balti-
more platform.
