NAVY MAY ACCEPT
ARMY'S PROPOSAL
TO BATTLE HERE
1t Now Seems Practically
Certain That Gridiron Test
Will Be Held in This
City.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 5.-That
an Army-Navy football game will be
played this year at Philadelphia was
made practically certain today by the
consent of the Navy to a three-year pro-
posal from West Point fixing the site for
the game at Philadelphia for 1914 and
1915 and at New York in 1916.
Negotiations between the Army and
Navy on this subject were abruptly ter
minated last week by the action of
Secretary of War Garrison, who advised
West Point to call the games off rather
than yield to the Navy in its demands
for Southern site
Instead of accepting the advice of
Secretary Garrison, however, the Army
athletic authorities offered one more COM
promise program to the Navy and this
was accepted.
Josephus Daniels. Secretary of the
Navy. has consented to the three-year
program and he will confer with Mr..
Garrison today. If the Secretary of War
consents to it. this arrangement will be-
come operative.

he had reliable, though not oficial, in
formation that the number now exceeds
100000.
The oficlal statement Is as follows:
"The situation Of the German army in
France Is satisfactory. The reinforced
right wing is making considerable prog
ress on the lines Of Arras, Albert and
Roye. Especially important heights near
Roye have been taken by our forces after
stubborn and bloody fights.
There is no change in the centre. An
attack on the fortihcations on the Meuse
River between verdun and Toul by our
army resulted in the destruction Of two
forts there. The French made sortie
from TouL which was repulsed with
heavy losses to the enemy.
Enormous losses are admitted by the
Allied forces. especially those caused by
the German artillery The Negro and AL
gerian troops of the French have suf-
fered severely from the cold weather.
In the vicinity of Antwerp the sltua-
ton is very favorable. Two forts there
have been silenced by our guns.
I'm the east the Russians were defeated
and driven back with heavy losses They
are reinforcing themselves and entrench-
ing behind the Niemen and Bobr Rivers.
In Galicla the offensive movements OF
the enem yhave completely collapsed. TO
the south the Austrians are In strong
positions between Przemysl and Cracow.
Figures. to September t2, show that
22O. 900 prisoners are held by U.S."

MORE ROBBERIES PUZZLE
POLICE IN GERMANTOWN
Burglars Force Way Into Three
Places Early Today.

Three more burglaries, perpetrated dur
ing the early hours, have been reported
to Germantown police, adding to long
list OF robberies which for the last six
months have plunged residents of the
section into a state of terror
From the similarity of the methods used
by the burglars and the nearness of the
places robbed, the police think the thefts
today were committed by the same gang
The first place robbed was the hair goods

AUSTRIAN NOBLE AND

ARRIVE IN THIS CITY
Baron Carl Won Czernhausen,
Who Married Miss Helena
Schmidt, of Radnor, Held
Prisoner in England.

Baron Carl Won Czernhausen, a captain
in the Austrian army, and his wife. who
was formerly Miss Helena Schmidt,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar A
Schmidt, arrived in New York yesterday
on the Campania and started Immediately
for the Schmidt residence in Radnor.
reaching there late last night.
The Baron. with his father-in-law, Mr..
Schmidt, left the United States on August
Is, bound for Saxburg, Austria, to meet
his wife and her mother who had been
visiting at the home of the Baron.
Each of the men carried several thou
sand dollars in gold for emergency. This
money probably saved the Baron much
trouble, since he was made a prisoner of
war upon the steamers arrival in Eng
land, and only released in the custody of
his father-in-law upon entering a large
cash bond. It would have been impossible
to raise money for this. owing to the con-
ditions In England.
Shortly after being made a prisoner of
war, the Baron was met by his wife,
who sought his release. He was set free
the promise that he would not attempt
to reach his native land, and join his
regiment, which has been at the front
since the outbreak of the war.
1t was also stipulated in the release
that the Baron was not to make known
to any one what he had witnessed while
in England. In living up to this promise.
the Baron and his party kept much 10
themselves while coming across OH the |
1t was not many days before |
the Baron became known on shIpboard |
as the Man of Mystery" since no one |
had the fantest idea why Baron and /
officer should be en- route for America |
The Baron will remain at the Schmidt |
home in Radnor until the end of the war /
Just as soon as permission is given, the /
Baron and his wife will leave for their |
home in the war zone.

MIDDLEMAN NEEDED
IN MARKETING CROPS,
DEAN WATTS THINKS
Convention of Vegetable
Growers Here This Week
Will Seek to Solve Prob
lem of Cheaper Marketing.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, oct. 5.--Cheaper
marketing of their crops is the biggest
problem confronting vegetable growers of
this country, and II their association
solves this at the convention in Philadel-
phia this week. the high cost of living will
have been severely jolted. Dean r. L.
watts, Of the Pennsylvania state Col
leee president of the Vegetable Growers
Association, declared today. He emphati-
caly protested against the total elimlna-
tion of the middleman as remedial
measure. saying it would be impossible to
feed the country's millions without the
commission merchants assistance.
"What Is really needed by the vegetable
growcrs of the country added Dean
Watts, "is closer contact with the con-
sumer. To obtain that end they need
fewer middlemen, but not a complete
elimination of that individual. as has been
urged 5y some high-cost- -of-llvlng enthusi-
asts. The mlddleman, the waste in han
ding and the faulty system of transpor-
tation are all important factors in the
marketing problem. The growers, led by
Professor Clyde l.. King, of the University
Of Pennsylvania, are going to attack the
proposition from every angle, and see IL
we can't cut out some of the useless items
of expense which make the food bills
of the inhabitants of the average city
so heavy"
Explaining that the commission mer-
chant was a helpful individual in certain
instances Dean Watts pointed out that
IL the grower of greenhouse tomatoes,
cucumbers or lettuce wanted to sell fancy
winter vegetables direct to the consumer
It would easily be done by parcel post.
But during the spring and early summer,
when outdoor vegetable gardens were
pouring fresh vegetables into the mar
kcts. there would be great waste and loss
If the mddleman were not on the job to
regulate the markets and distribute the
great quantities of perishable Vegetables
that have to be moved rapidly and sure
ly to the retail dealers.
The Vegetable Growers Association is
live organization of progressive grow
ers. They have set the pace for the
vegetable growing interests of this coun-
try and Canada. and Philadelphia's con-
ventlon this week will be the mecca of
producers from all points. In many in
stances the association has called upon
State experiment stations and Federal eX-
ports to help them control insect pests
and plant diseases and has been a lead
er IN the big movements of produce pro-
duction
j. r. Bechtel, of the Department of Ag-
riculture at State College, will have
charge of the colleges exhibit of speci-
mems, charts. photographs and samples OF
students work at the convention. c. E.
Myers, associate professor of vege etable
gardening. will be there to talk to the
81 overs. Fifteen students will attend the
convention.
