 only scoFeless game played in the east.
 Mike Thompson, who announced that he had retired fro mall branches of sport to enter business, has evil dently reconsidered. Mike, who has college football gaines during the past decade. is at it again.
 A few facts which call attention to the Washington-Jeffe n team this season: Scored 100 points against Groce City college, a record for East ern elevens this year; held Yale to a no-score tie; beat Jenn State IT to Q and is one of the two teams that has not been scored on this season. The other eleven with a clean slate is Navy. The Middies' best feat was to l hold Pittsburgh to a scoreless tie. It hardly would be fair to say just | which of the rather imperfect college team coaches recently had to excuse one of his huskiest linemen in the
 midst of a scrimmage because the husky one had swallowed his cud of chewing tobacco.
 It is said of Harold Gaston, the old Penn tackle, now coaching the scrub | team for his alma mater, that in the -four years he played for the Red and Blue time was never taken out on his account, and he never even visited the water bucket except on one oc- casion when it was necessary to wash the mud out of his eyes.
 pr. s'Bill'' Bull, coaching the drop
 kickers at Yale, uses the Yale News to say of Harvard: t'Harvard's team this year is a wonderful aggregation
 primarily because the fundamental of football have been mastered by ev- cry member of the eleven. Harvard s strength lies in the fact that she is not weak in any one department of. the game; the line holds well and is an improvement over the forwards of last
 yeav's eleven; both the backs and the
 linemen are heavy and exceptionally
 fast, but their greatest asset is not their physical prowess, but the fine team work which they have developed.
 All of the players are especially adept in following the balI.''

U. S. MUST INTERVENE.
Only Solution to Mexican Situation
Missionary Says.

st. Louis, May 15.-"Armed inter-
vention by the United States is the
only thing in my judgment that will
restore peace in Mexico" said Mission
airy r. P. Mahon of MoreIia, state of
Michoacan, Mexico, in an address be-
fore the Southern Baptist convention
today.
81 have been unable to return to my
work in Mexico for the last two
months on account of revolutions
against revolutionists. The country is
in absolute chaos and without the
hope of getting together if led by any
of its own people.
"a governor of a prominent state
told me he hoped we missionaries
would esta a school in every viii
lage and town in his dominion, as he
believed the missionary schools will
redeem Mexico. The Bible is not
known to the common people of Mex
leo and many of the priests do not
allow the people to read the Bible
This governor told me that he be-
lieved that only system of education
like that of the United States would
redeem Mexico He urged us mission
aries to begin such a system and
promised to protect us with troops if
necessary. Vice, ignorance. gambling
and extreme poverty hold the majority
of the people in Mexico down.

SCORES REDFlELD
Rep. MOndeIl CriticiseS InveSti-
cation of Wage Cuts.
Speech Brings Sharp Answer
From Underwood.

Washington, May 15.-Secretary
Redfield's broad intimation to bust
ness that the federal governmen
would investigate cuts in wages that
looked like reprisals for the passage
of the tariff bill, brought out sharp
cross fire of speeches today between
Chairman Underwood of the ways and
means committee, and Representative
Monden, Republican, of Wyoming,
during the brief session of the house.
Secretary Redfield's remarks were in
a speech here last night before the
employing photographers
Mr.. Mondel declared Representa-
tive Underwoods statement that wage
cuts would be investigated, could be
forgiven because it was made in the
heat of debate"
Mr. Redfield had no such excuse"
he said Every right minded citi-
zen," continued Mr.. Mondell, hopes
for the favorable conduct of the coun-
try's industries, but 1 know of no law
which says any man shall continue to
give employment to labor under adj
verse conditions and continue his
business at a loss
The Democrats he declared, were
revising the tariff with the people in
a most favorable frame of mind, and
it was ungra ciOuS to warn manufac-
turers that unless they continue to
conduct their business at possible
loss they will be investigated to salts
fy the high and mighty secretary of
commerce.
1.-THE situation is just this rejoined
Majority Leader Underwood amid ap-
plause by the Democrats. IF you
look through the tariff hearing you
will find statement after statement of
manufacturers that if a Democratic
house reduced the tariff in the inter
est of the people it would take the
reduction out of the labor in the fac
tories and mills. Man after man said:
sc What reduction you make will
come out of labor
1--WE intend that where these indus
tries are making enormous profits re-
auctions shall come out of the I'M
REASONABLE profit and they shall not
continue to make those profits at the
expense of their labor.
"A short time ago you Republicans
contended for tariff board to ascer-
tain the facts that industry and labor
might be safeguarded in making a tar
if. Now that the machinery has
started to ascertain the facts you run
to cover, you show the white feather,
