entire Austrian army, which three
days ago forced the Servians under
the command OF the crown prince

Thousands of Austrians have been
killed and captured. Many stands Of

munitions of war have been taken by
the Servians, who are following up
their advantage.
According to the announcement at
the Var Office the Servians bombarded
the Austrian position at Semlin, which
was believed to be very formidable. A
feint developed that the Austrians
were plainly in difficulties, and orders
were given to take the position by d.
rect assault.
There were 10000 Seryians in the
attacking column, all veterans Of the
Balkan war and they resorted to the
cold steel, many not wen firing their
rifles as they rushed madly forward,
cheering wildly.
The actual fighting was short but

cause an explosion when the bomb Is
drawn upward by detection of its sup
porting wire through it's meeting an
airship. Such detection must occur
whenever there is contact between the
laterally moving. pendant wire and an
aiSship, except only in the highly i'm.
probable case where the wire and the
attacked airship are moving in the
same direction at substantially the
same speed, when explosion can be
caused by pulling the wire.
Aeropianes equipped with such de.
vices would be a menace to airships,
magazines, sheds, ships in repair and
under construction. Airships equipped
with larger devices of this type might
play havoc with sea and land forces,
particularly at night, and might at.
tack and destroy an enemy's airships
and hangers, docks, magazines. ships
and ~terrorize very generally. There
would be slight means of defense
against such airships except fast aero
planes armed with guns or similar de.
vices.

$32,322. These are gains of which
any professional athletic enterprise
might Well feel proud, even in a sea
son far less abbreviated than that in
which football, has to make its money.
So 1t is scarcely surprising that the
athletic authorities of the colleges re-
gard football as their most important
sport. But the game holds that pres
tige not merely because Of the fine
showing made by its financial balance
sheet. 1t seems rather that the large
income is to be attributed to the
prestige of college football as an e1-
elusive and unique game. 1t occupies
a field in which the undergraduates
have everything practically their own
way and are not yet disturbed by pro-
fessional competition. AS a sport it
enjoys the especial distinction of the
college stamp.

BIG PROFITS OF eRIDlRoN
Football Is Easily the Greatest Money
Getter Among all College
Sports.

To any one who has seen even one
of the minor fall contests upon the
gridiron it will not be surprising to
learn that football is the greatest
money-maker among all the college
sports. The profits in any other field
are comparatively negligible, and the
football surplus each year helps to
make up some of the deficit that re-
suits from maintaining Improbable
athletics. It is reported that Harvard's
receipts from football last year were

clear profit, while Princeton received

Washington, Sept 12.-That the
Turkish ambassador, A. Rustem Bey,
has practically made himself persona

ment is indicated Enthusiastically by adj
ministration officials.
The Turkish envoy has been criti-
Ching American methods and Ameri-
can politics with a freedom in the past
few weeks which has caused alternate
alarm and amusement at the White
House. His statement that the "Eu-
ropean war is Turkeys opportunity"
is regarded as the worst possible dk
plomacy at this time.
While the abrogation of long stand

been considered by this government, it

it with slow deliberation. When it was
finished he read each typed page care
fully. He tackled them together and
rose to his feet He began to search
the Office rapidly with his eyes. then
he turned to a wash-bowl in the corner.
He crushed into a loose bunch each of

match. 1t leaped into a red blaze. He
watched it carefully. poking the sheets
over with a p knife until each
fell away into a shivering black ash.

swept down the waste pipe. He

The New Fable of the Two Unfettered
Birds and How Far They
Flew.
Once there was a Girl with a gleam-
ing New Hampshire Forehead who
used to exchange helpful Books with
a studious young Man who had an
Intellect of high Voltage.
1t will not be, necessary to name
these Books. as you never heard of
them.
Laura and Edgar were Comrades, in
a way. They met under the Student
Lamp and talked about Schopenhauer
and Walter Pater, but the Affair never
got beyond that Point. It was not
even warm enough to be called Pla-
tonic. 1t carried about as much Ro-
mantle Suggestion as a cold Hot Water
Bottle.
There grew up between them merely

Like every other Member Of the

garded with much Contempt the

Do you think they would stand for
any of that old-style Cuff about Sir
Ralph getting the Hammer-Lock on
Dorothy just outside the Loggia? Not
on your Thought Waves!
They regarded the Article commonly
called Love as a lingering Symptom of
some primeval Longing for Parlor En-
tertainment.
1t was agreed that each Soul was
free and independent and had a right
to run on its own private Timetable.
Laura said she was going to live her
Life in her own Way and that no Wal.
lopus in striped Trousers could leave
her marooned in a Flat, working under
Sealed Orders.
Edgar did not choose to carry Over
weight while working out his Career
and grew faint at the very Thought of
shouldering a lot of Domestic Respon-
sibiIities.
Marriage was an institution devised
for Strap-Hangers who wanted to get
their Names into the Paper. 1t vas a
