NAVY MAKES CLEAR
ITS STAND ON GAME
Contends It Has Offered to Meet
West Point Half Way, But
Without Success.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Md. October S-The
ArmyNavy foot ball game. which has
been the subject of bitter contention
for months. is off. judging from the
statement issued today by the execu-
tive committee of the Navy Athletic
Association. in which the Navy's con-
tentions are fully set forth. The ath-
letic representatives of the rival in
stftutions have failed to reach an
agreement, and the secretaries of the
Navy and War departments have wiped
their hands of the matter entirely. I'm
less some concession is made by one
or the other association there will be
for that matter.
The Navy committee contends that the
game should be played under conditions
as nearly equal as possible as to travel
and expense, and briefly states that any
OF the following conditions would be sat
isfactory: Play every year at Phila-
deiphia. play alternately at Washington
ana New York or play on home grounds
IL points to the fact that Philadelphia
is practically midway between West Point
and Annapolis. but that the West Point
authorities have positively declined to
play on Franklin Field as in the past and
also have failed to yield to a request
lSr 10 Ann an ,mvestisation i of the possibilities
4 n
thorities could, however. step in and com
pei the game to be played
The statement issued today says that
the Navy agreed to the Army's propo-
sltlon Tor a ten-year alternating agree
ment. not to play north of New York
or south of Washington. provided the
Navy's choice could be Washington.
but 1T was found that the Washington
base ball park is inadequate for stag
ing the game. Nor could permission
be obtained to use public grounds. II
further states that the Army repre-
sentatfves positively declined to an
swer the Nays proposition for play-
ing alternately on home grounds. The
naval representatives take the view
that they have done everything within
reason to bring about the game and
regret that the efforts to obtain an
even break in all arrangements have
been unsuccessful. In other words they
hold that the Navy always has stood
ready to meet the Army half way.

The Infantryman's Load.
ON the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The infantryman at Rouen who said
the 96 pounds he had on his back was
too much said what he felt rather than
what he knew. The actual weight is
rather less than half that. The car
tridges in his ammunition pouch
weigh pounds, his accouterments s
pounds Az ounces. the contents of his
pack 10 pounds y ounces. while his
food store, consisting of the "emer-
gency ration and water, together
weigh pounds 1871 ounces. making
total Of IS pounds 14A ounces. In ad-
dition to these packages" he has a
rifle and a bayonet, which on the
march he carries as he likes. and in
a battle as the enemy dislikes; together
they weigh 10 pounds S1a ounces. So
instead of staggering along with So
pounds, he actually carries 46 pounds
Az ounces. And If you try 1t you will
find it a sufficient load.

WOMEN Of SOUTHLAND
TO GIVE COTTON BALL
0ld-Time Hospitality to Be Dis.
pensed at Big Dance in
December.

Women of the storied southland, famed
in chronicle and story for their beauty
and loyalty, are planning a revival OF
the cotton season ball, long an institution
of the south. where stately dances and
dignified costumes encouraged romance
by giving it a tone of deeper respect.
Southern women in Washington are to
dispense the old-time noted southern hos
pitality at cotton ball'' to be held here
in December, with wives of cabinet mem
bers and members of Congress from be-
low the Mason and Dixon line welcom-
ing their sisters and brothers from the
north.
auspices of the Southern Society of Wash
ington, which numbers nearly 800 mem
bers. One of the strictest RULES about the
ball is that every person attending, gal
liant escorts as well as their ladies fair,
must be dressed in cotton clothing.
Among the Capital society women who
are leaders in arranging for the ball are
Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the Sec
retary of the Navy; Mrs. Duncan U.
Fletcher, wife of the Florida senator.
who is also president of the Southern
Commercial Congress; Mrs. Thomas

Cotton Harvest Night Thursday.
AS a preliminary to the cotton ball
cotton harvest night is to be held
next Thursday evening in the ballroom
of the New Willard Hotel for members
of the Southern Society and their
friends. starting their social activities
for the season.
There is to be no wailing about the
hardships cotton growers may have ex-
perienced this year; there is to be no
passing of the hat fo- their benefit.
The atmosphere is to be one of cheer,
and the tone of the meeting extolling
the bigness and greatness of King
Cotton.
An attempt will be made to have
the people feel as though they were
enjoying the merrymaking on a south

Tells of Daring Dash Against
Kaiser's Naval Base.

LONDON. October s.-Submarine E-9
of the British navy, under command of
Lieut.. Commander Max X. Horton.
Tuesday made another raid into Ger
man waters off the mouth of the River
Ems. and succeeded in sinking Ger
man torpedo boat destroyer This same
submarine. under the same commander,
made similar dash and sank the Ger
man cruiser Hela off Helgoland Sep
tember IL. AS on the former occasion.
the E-9 has safely returned to her home
port.
The action took place at 1 o'clock
Tuesday, and was witnessed by the
Dutch coast guards on the Dutch is
land Schiernonnikoog, in the North
sea. off the province of Friesland-
The weather was clear and the sea
calm and the destroyer could plainly
lie seen cruising before the mouth of
the Ems Suddenly the Observers saw
high column of water rise near the
bow of the destroyer. The vessel
turned over and sank in three minutes.
shortly after the explosion the peri
scope of the submaT aTine came above the
surface of the water for moment, but
as soon as those on board the plunger
saw that their torpedo had struck its
mark the vessel was again submerged.

struction yesterday of the German de-
stroyer.
This little privilege submarines have
tacitly claimed heretofore and have
succeeded in evading their admirals'
displeasure. Submarine crews call them
racing flags and treasure them with
greater delight than the white ensign
which all British battleships fly.
Member of Crew Tells of Exploit.
HARWICH, via London. october s.
All the men of the submarine E-9,
which has arrived here, are jubilant
over the second successful engage
ment of their little craft against a
German war vessel. One of the mem
bers of the crew in an interview said
that while the sinking of the torpedo
boat destroyer off the Dutch coast was
more easily accomplished than was the
case when the E-9 sent the German
cruiser Helao to the bottom, luck was
with the submarine.
We knew when we left Harw1ch
harbor, said the sailor. that 1T was
a case of hit or miss, but we trusted
Lieut.. Commander Horton Implicitly.
When we rose we saw two German
destroyers travelling at a speed OF
about thirty knots.
Our commander was at the per1scope
and ordered the forward tubes to pc
fired. / fired the first tube. but coulo
not say whether my missile hit we
then rose to the surface and the com
mander said: Look at her; the beg
gar is going down..
Then we saw the German rise per-
pendicularly and her men rushed TO ner
stern and dived into the water. Ihe
submarine then was submerged again
and made her way back to Harwich.
Il don't like to boast. but we got
our torpedoes home.

Buy Cotton Goods Now

Never again is the Ameri-
can woman likely to have
such splendid opportunities
to buy cotton goods as she
has today.
The war has forced the
price of raw cotton to an
unprecedentedly low figure.
That, of course. means les
sened prices for cotton
fabrics and greater buying
opportunities.
1t would pay to buy cot
tons today and store them
up. When the war situa-
tion clears prices will jump.
The stores are showing
many attractive values, as
can be seen from the ad-
vertising in The Star.
