What War MOUeS Mean
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Oct. THE critical
position in which the German west
ern battle front will find itself If
the allies succeed in heavy mass
ing of troops along the Belgian
border is indicated by the appear
ance of a strong German mounted
corps at Lille and the continued
violence OF Won Kluck's attack
along the Disc. Both have the same
objective: to interrupt the Anglo
French northern concentration and
prevent its use for q movement
eastward to cut the German COM
munications. The German cavalry
at Lille is undoubtedly accompanied
by motor car artillery.
This device. newly created by the
Germans. permits heavy guns to
keep pace with mounted troops
turning loose the guns before the
cavalry advances en- masse. the Of
fens!ve power of the horsemen Is
greatly increased.
These tactics. which. it Is sur
missed, were first used effectively by
Won kluck during his advance on
Paris, are probably appearing again,
at the same spot on the Franco
belgian frontier border that saw
their original employment.
The Germans, who have never
shown special genius for cavalry

Carlisle from the Notre Dame game, at

believed the Indians were suffering
from psychological depression, that
he could not quite understand and he
decided to allow the Varsity players
a holiday or perhaps several of them
in order that a recuperation might be
possible. The latest advices as to the
condition of Gush Welsh, whose cheek
bone was crushed in the Notra Dame
game, is that the Indian quarterback
is improving, but will not be able to
return for three weeks.

KID" WAGNER HAS
HOUCK ALMOST OUT
Lancaster Pride Is Saved a Water
loo by Referee and Bell;
Good Boxing Show
BY "UNP"

Leo Houck, of Lancaster, middle
weight and pride of the fight fans of
his home town, was given a hard bat
tie by kid" Wagner, of Wilkes Barre,
last night. 1t was the second time
within three days that Houck was
punished. Young Ahearn beat Houck
in Philadelphia Saturday night.
AS on previous occasions. Lancaster
reports give Houck the best of last
nights fight. In the opinion of two
thirds of the record crowd, who wit
messed the battle, Houck was badly
beaten. Had last nights contest gone
ten rounds, Houck would not have sur
vived, according to the belief of un-
biased patrons. Had the fight taken
place in any other city, and with an
other referee, Leo Houck would have
met his Waterloo last night.
The first round was all Wagner. He
had Houck bleeding. The second was
Houck's round by a small margin. The
third round was all Houck. In the
next two rounds Houck was beaten.
Five times the referee saved Houck
by interfering when Houck clinched.
Houck never forced the fighting. The
bell saved him once.
Friends of Houck say it is all his
fault and that he has not been keep
ing in form. Houck may still have the
punch, but many are of the opinion
that his star is on the wane.
The show last night generally was a
good exhibition. Al Mason and
Charles Wright, both of Lancaster,
went six rounds, with Wright shading
the other. julius Ritchey, Lancaster,
and Johnnie Gill, York, put up beau
tiful fight, fast all through, and Gill
had a little the better of the argument.
Tim Droney, Lancaster, knocked down
Johnny Ferguson, Philadelphia, in the
fourth. The latter got to his feet at
the count of nine, when the referee
stopped the bout
