In Mt. Vernon On Saturday
Afternoon
Many Of The Second Team
Men We're Played
But They Fought Like Veterans
And Won The Contest

Tired out from their victory over
the Kenyon Scrubs Friday and forced
into playing an emergency" game
Mt. Vernon really put up wonderful
article of football against Coshocton
high school Saturday afternoon, waltz
ing off with a 27 to victory
Bonds was absent from the lineup,
Gilpin and Jones were forced. to re-
tire on account Of injuries, so it was
substantially scrub team that played
the second half 1t was only then that
CoshoctOn came within the shadow of
the Mt Vernon goal.
Mt. Vernon scored one touchdown
in each of the four quarters. 1t was
plain to be seen from the start that
the Coshocton lads were not dangerous
foes. They seemed able to do no ad-
vancing and finally let the ball slip,
Mt. Vernon recovering it. A success
sion of bucks and end runs sent Jones
over the line for the first score, Sew
erns kicking.
In the second quarter, Mt. Vernon
scored by the air route in very pret-
tily executed pass from Clayton to
Eastman, the latter running about
twenty yards for touchdown. Sew
erns again kicked goal.
Coshocton's backfield, in the third
quarter, began to pick up a bit and
right halfback Johnson made several
telling gains. Mt. Vernon's score this
quarter was made on q thirty-yard line
buck by Hadley close to the side-line.
He put the ball within three yards of
Coshocton's goal and few plays car
ried it over. Capt. Clayton kicked out
the ball, but Eastman missed, so no
goal was declared.
Shortly before the end Of the third
quarter, Coshocton took the ball with.
In five yards of Mt. Vernon's goal. They
were there held for downs and Clayton
punted. The Coshocton quarterback
missed the punt and the ball rolled
past him. Running back, he picked 1t
up, but was downed by Eastman in
hard tackle, causing him to tumble,
Harper falling on the ball. The quar-
tor ended here and the ball was taken
to the other end of the field, from
which position Beach carried 1t over
for Mt. Vernon's final tally.

 Embarrass Attacking Foes
 If the Germans can gain the new position 1t offers better opportunities for defense than the ground they have passed over the last 10 days Their right apparently extends as far west las St Quentin through country in- tersected by rivers and streams that will embarrass the attacking forces. The main German forces under Gen erals Von Buelow and Won Tfausen. the Duke Of Wurttemburg and the crown prince stretch along the River Aisne to the hills behind Rheims and then north to verdun. thus securing the roads and railways running north from Rethel to the Belgian frontier and eastward to Luxemburg and Metz lin Lorraine.

Soldiers and Marines Will Embark for Home as Soon as Transports Can Be Sent
PRACTICALLY ALL
 OF WAR FLEET WILL BE WITHDRAWN
Evacuation Order Is An nOunced at White House Following Cabinet Meet ing-Reasons Set Forth

Washington, September 15.-Evacu- ation of Vera Cruz was ordered today by President Wilson.
 American soldiers and marines under General Funston who have held Mexico's principal seaport since it was seized by the fleet, April 21 last, will embark for home as soon as trans- ports can go after them, and shortly afterward all of the war fleet except few light draft vessels will be with drawn.
 The evacuation order was announced at the White House today after a long cabinet meeting. 1t Is the con cluding chapter of the second armed conflict between the United States and Mexico. in which a score of Americans lost their lives. nearly 100 were wounded and upwards of 300 Mexicans were killed or wounded
 Reasons Set Forth
 The reasons for the step were set forth in the following statementi from the White House:
 "The troops have been ordered with drawn from Vera Cruz. This action IS taken in view of the entire removal of the circumstances which were thought to justify the occupation. The further pres ence of the troops Is deemed unneces- sary."
 Specifically the American forces were withdrawn at the urgent appeal of Gen eral Carranza, first chief of the consti- nationalist army. trough Paul Fuller, personal representative of President Wil- son in Mexico, General Carranxa ret forth that the presence of American troops, instead of ,being a safeguard against further revolution and peace with the United States constituted constant menace to friendly relations. The Mex ican contended-and he was supported by Generals Villa and obrcgon--that the Mexican people would not understand the continued presence of American troops on Mexican soil and would cherish re- sentiment no matter how we'll intentioned the American government was.
 Hoped for Salutary Effect
 Until today. the Washington government had not decided. on any fixed time for the withdrawal and awaited negotiation with the new government At first the Presi- dent believed it desirable io keep Amer ican forces at Vera Cruz for salutary effect hoping constitutional election would be conducted fairly and the troops brought back after constitutional,y elected executive was in power The con stitutionalist chief argued. however. that no election could be free with par. of Mexican territory controlled by Amer ican forces.
 The President discussed the subject with his cabinet. some of whom. it is ripderstood did not favor the move IT finally was the consensus If opinion that the main purpose of the American expe- dition to Vera Cruz-so punish the af- front to the flag at Tampico-had been achieved. Another circumstance which |infiuenced the Presidents judgment was
