Washington, Dec. 1. - Under pres
sure of the constitutionalist armies in
the north advancing on Chihuahua,
the most important military defense
that now stands between the Mexican
capital and the border, the situation
of the Huerta government in Mexico
City was believed by officials last
night to be critical.
The efforts of Huerta to obtain
funds for payment of the accrued in

is regarded as serving to demonstrate
the deterrent effect upon foreign capt.

government toward spectators who
would risk money to secure exorbit-

C00perSt0Wn IS After
Midland Railway Line

Cooperstown, N. D., Dec. 2.-Con-
ferences between the local committee
and representatives of the Midland
Continental are being held in regard
to making Cooperstown a division
point for that road. Something defin.
ite may be known by Monday. Coop
erstown stands ready to make a liber-
al contribution to the road If assured
of the division, but without that assur.
ance it is extremely doubtful if much
will be done locally.
One survey includes Cooperstown in
the extension from Wimbledon to
Grand Forks and another runs north
and west of this point. 1t would be a
great deal more convenient for the
farmers of the county to reach the
county seat if the line would cross the
Northern Pacific branch at this point.

zOelIner Quartet An
Interesting Program
GOOD SIZED AUDIENCE GREETS
ARTISTS IN SECOND NUMBER
OF COURSE At NORMAL.

What has been called one Of the fin
est numbers of the Artists course in
the past two years was that heard at
the Normal auditorium last Saturday
evening, when the Zoellner String
Quartet opened a we'll selected pro-
gram with a Haydn number, in four
movements.
This splendid organization consist
ing of the father and his three child
rem have made many friends during
their sojourn in Valley City, both at
the Normal school and about the city.
and as a whole their work in ensemble
was about as near perfect as any
heard in Valley City. While it is i'm
possible to make mention Of every
point of merit displayed by the Quartet
on Saturday evening, no report would
be complete without paying tribute to
their perfect ensemble playing. There
was more than ample technique dis
played by every member in what
might be called a heavy program. The
tone effects had style and polish and a
fine rich sorority. There vas deep
feeling and pleasing understanding
manifest in every number. Exquisite
rythmical effects caught the ear Of the
audience and gave proof that every
member of this notable family is an
artist.
A fine audience greeted the artists
and interest was keen from beginning
to end. The next number of the course
will be heard next Monday evening,
when c. Edward Clarke, the Chicago
baritone, will appear in recital.

New. York, Nov. 29.-Breaking in
upon the conservative east, western
brand of football swept across the polo
grounds here this afternoon and the
Navy goat, bewildered and blinking at
the dazzling array of plays and passes
it had not learned to eat, was left
prone upon the field, while the Army
mule kicked its heels high in the air
and celebrated the hrst victory over
the fighting forces from Annapolis
since 1908.
The Army defeated the Navy % to
9, in one Of the most spectacular
games Of the gear. More than $4,000
persons, including President Wilson,
his cabinet and high officials of the
government service as we'll as foreign
diplomats cheered on the two teams
as they bitterly fought out the issue.
It was the most brilliant crowd ever
gathered in New York for sporting
event. Society flom New York and
practically every other big eastern city
was represented. In the south stands
the battalions Of cadets from West
Point sang, yelled and then simply
went mad as their classmates on the
field battled their way to victory.
Across the field were the midship-
men in their dark blue service coats, a
brilliant wide banner Of yellow ribbon
crossing every mans chest. The great
stands of the Brush stadium were
massed with brilliant colors. The ca
diets in their gray banked the south
and extending completely around the
great oval appeared the gay colors of
flowers and hats and waving pennants
of the two academies in the hands of
fair admirers.
It was a great victory for the Army.
The Navy started a rushing attack and
swept the cadet eleven back to their

the Army held, but Babe" Brown
the giant guard Of the Navy, turned
loose the first boom of the Navy
guns. He pumped over field goal with
a neat kick from placement from the
3O-yard line.
The Navy relied upon the old sys
tenn of play, such as marked the work
Of Yale, Harvard and Princeton dur
ing the season. They played solid
rushing game, but after the first pc
riod this was not powerful enough to
break down the Army edefnse.

which turned the tables today. With
the score against them the future gen.
erals began to cut loose with series
of forward passes and open plays
which the Navy was unable to break
up. Two forward passes resulted in
touchdowns and but for one being

The Navy was unable to cross the
Army goal line at any time. But for
the toe of Brown, the goat would have
been shipped back to Annapolis with
out even nine points on which to feed
for the next year. Woodruff, a substi.

Army in the second period and regis
tered the only goal from field for the
