BIC nine GAMES
Chicago and Northwestern Fur
nish the Big Battle.
Haskell Indians Oppose NOtre
Dame at South Bend.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 9.-Champion-
ship honors of the University of Chi
cago and Northwestern university
were at stake today in the only impor-
tant football game among the Big
Nine colleges.
Defeat for either eleven meant
elimination from the big Nine"
race. 1t was Chicago's first
game of the season and its strength
was uncertain, while Northwestern
was considered by critics to have the
best team developed in the last decade.
Next in Importance to the Chicago
Northwestern contest was the game
between Illinois and the Missouri
School of Mines at Champagne. The
Miners are reported to be as strong
as last years team and expect to hold
the Illini, whose 1915 championship
aspirations are big, to a low score.
Minnesota, which is regarded as cham
pionship timber in the Big Nine, had
Ames as its opponent today. Wiscon-
sin, another championship contender,
faced Marquette university at Madi-
son. The Haskell Indians were the
opponents of Notre Dame at South
Bend.
The Indians did not furnish much
opposition to IllioniS last week and
Notre Dame is every bit as powerful as
last year.

[Continued from Page One.I
Austro-German invasion. She is con-
centrating cavalry, supported by
heavy artillery under German COM
mand, in the direction of Koestendi1,
southwest of Sofia near the Serbian
border.
According to official Serbian advices
the Austro- German attack has not
won much of an initial success, the
invaders having suffered large losses
in crossing the Save and now being
pinned to the brink of the river.
Many Germans are among he pr1s-
oners, and some of them are said to
be members of Prussian brigade
which formerly was operating against
Italy.
There still remains a slight element
of doubt as to the attitude of Greece
which probably will not be d1spelled
until the new cabinet makes definite
pronouncement of it's policy.
In the meantime the entente powers
appear to be satisfied with assurances
of continued neutrality and see no
reason to believe that Greece intends
to array herself against them in the
impending conflict.
Allies Lend Troops.
Allied troops to the number of 3D.
600 are reported to have landed al
ready at Salonilzi and obstacles to
their transportation to Serbia have
been removed by the prompt action
of the Greek minister. On the east
ern front the rapidity of attacks and
counter attacks, the capture and re-
capture of trenches leaves it in doubt
which side is really on the defensive.

New York, Oct. 9.-This is fire pre-
vention day throughout the United
States. The Safety First Federation
of America, with headquarters in New
York, has helped arrange programs
here and elsewhere, emphasizing the
importance of preventing fire.
1.-THE individual is not apt to take
fire prevention to heart If fire hasn't
touched anything Of his" says the
federation, but he should. In 1914
in the United States and Canada alone,
S2S5,591,35O (nearly a quarter of a
billion dollars) worth of property was
destroyed by fire. That means Sc a
year loss each, if divided between
every man, woman and child in the
two countries.
1.-The biggest part of the gigantic
loss could have been prevented, if the
individual had been cautious!"
Governors of practically all the
states have asked the people to profit
by the experience rules made by the
federation.
Anniversary of Chicago Fire.
This Fire Prevention day IS the an
niversary of the great Chicago fire.
Frederick H. Elliott, executive Sec
rotary of the Safety First federation,
suggests that every one read carefully
the foregoing rules for fire preven-
ton, then follow their advice.
A big fire-prevention parade started
the days program in New York. Fire
Commissioner Robert Adamson rode
at the head of the procession, Which
stretched out behind him for miles.
Circulars, speeches and other means
We're employed to impress individuals
with the need for fire prevention.
At Chicago Mayor Thompson spoke.
urging the people to cut down I'LL
nois' $12,00O,0O0 annual fire loss.
Governor Fielder made a speech about
it in New Jersey. Many other public
officials made speeches throughout
the country on the same subject.
The first annual convention of the
Safety First federation will follow in
ten days, converting in Detroit, Octo-
Der 10. The fire prevention commit
tee. comprising many prominent fire
experts and engineers, will present its
report containing important recon-
mendations for adoption at this time.
AS soon these measures are APP
proved n comprehensive campaign
will be instituted in every common
wealth and municipality with the view
of reducing the fire hazards through
the enactment of model laws and
regulations.
