Army Now Favored
Ouer Macy 10 TO 8

ERED SCHUMM, the Brooklyn
betting commissioner, re-
ports that betting on the Cornell
Pennsylvania football game has
begun and q little money has
been placed on Cornell to win at
odds of 10 to s. Some Pennsylva-
mia men ask better odds than 2 to
1. A considerable amount has
been placed on the Navy during
the last few weeks without odds,
but this situation has changed to
10 to 8 on the Army to win.
There have been several even
money bets that the Navy will
score the first touchdown.

OF international law win be regarded as
an "unfriendly act" The discussion
OF principles is virtually ended. The

Germany of the Interpretation it will

In the new note the United States
assumes that Germany already has
admitted the principle that passen.

safety before destroying the unresist-
ing merchantmen as a prize.
Taking the position. therefore, that
the two governments are agreed in

the accepted principles Of information

tice resulting in the loss OF American

The significance of this decision can
only be appreciated when it is under

that a mass meeting OF citizens was
held to plan means of relief for the

ed to go to Columbus to take up the
situation with Governor Willis. Adju-
tant General Hough and Attorney Cen
eral Turner in an effort to obtain
state aid
There are 1000 persons who depend
for their living on the onion growing
industry of the marsh All these are
out of work and those who owned
crops have not only lost their jobs
but their investment All are on the
edge Of bankruptcy and without
credit. They cannot get anything to
eat because they have no money and
no prospect of getting any.
Two thousand are homeless. They
are quartered in school houses or on
the second floors of neighboring
dwellings There are 300 refugees in
three school buildings and fifteen OF
twenty on the second floor of every

Washington, July 22.-Predictions
that unless peace soon is restored in

Southern republic, due to scarcity of
food, will be far more serious within
three months than ever before. is
made by American Consul General
Hanna, at Monterey, Mex, in a letter
to the American Red Cross. Mr.
Hanna, who Is in charge of the Red
Cross relief station at Monterey, de-
scribes the food situation in that
part of Mexico.
Thousands of persons have been
saved from actual starvation by the
food supplies furnished by the Red
Cross, according to Consul General
Hanna. Limited supplies are now
being furnished to at least 10000 peo
Pile.
1T is probable" said Mr.. Hanna
that the corn crops here in Mexico
now maturing, will relieve the hun
ger situation for a short period, pro
vided railroad communication witt
the agricultural district is kept open
enabling the farmers to send Their
foodstuffs to market. OF course every
thing depends on the railroads keep
ing open But | do not believe thai
the present limited crops will las
longer than two months. Then, If We
do not have fall crops, this will be the

London. July 22.-Rumors of the
fall of Warsaw are in circulation. but
the latest communications from both
sides indicate the Austro-German
rush toward the Polish capital has
slowed down The Russians continue
to lose ground, but apparently the
campaign has not yet been brought to
a decisive issue.
The most important success now
reported by the Germans has been
won by General Won Woyrich south
of Ivangorod. This seems TO have
been a surprise attack The Russians,
who had heavy reserves in the neigh
borhood, later delivered vigorous coun-
ter attacks, but failed to recover the
lost ground. Windau. in Courland. on
the Baltic, is definitely in the hands
of the Germans, who are now within
thirty-five miles of the important
Russian seaport of Riga.
Possession of Riga by the Germans
would force the Russian armies near
Shawl and Mitau to retreat. as the
Baltic port is their chief point OF sup

Germans in the Baltic provinces indi
