SKOWHEGAN LOSES
Foot Ball Game at Hallowell Satur.
day Last

The High School boys were again
unfortunate last Saturday in the foot
ball game which they played with the
Hallowell High. The victories were
not won by the Skowhegan players
and the score was 6 to 0. An unfor-
tunate accident occurred when ST
Ledger sprained his ankle. The con-
test was quite evenly matched.
The Hallowell team played togeth-
er and showed more snap than in any
previous game of the season; Captain
Batchelder and Cottle starred in Of
fensive work On the defense Leonard
Harp and Watson excelled. Bison
was the best ground gamer for Show
hogan.
The only score of the game came
early in the second period when Hal
lowell carried the ball from the
Skowhegan's 40-yard line across the
goal line by a rapid series of plays
mostly line plunges. Batchelder
scored the touchdown. The lineup:

Together, heart to heart,

LARGE ALFALFA YIELD.

Columbus, Miss, May 25. - Pros
poets for one of the best hay crops
in the history of the country are in
evidence, the first cuttings of alfalfa
having yielded abundant crops.
Though somewhat late on account Of
the drought during April and May,
the first cutting matured beautifully
as the result of late rains, and the
hay is the best that has been sent out
of this territory in some time.
Some idea of the value of the hay
crop in this county may be CLEANED
from the fact that the past week fifty
cars were shipped to foreign markets,
bringing to the growers an average
price of fifteen dollars a ton. In ad
ditien to the railroad shipments many
tons of the legume have been market
ed in this city for distribution locally
and over the immediate Columbus
territory

stantinOple give the number as about
100000. This includes 100000 Chris
tians who are being used for digging
trenches and building railways, roads
and bridges.
The actual fighting men are divided
into five armies. The first, encamped
at Adrianople and around CONSTANT,
nople under Won der Boltz, is said to
be about 100000 strong. The second,
under Djemal Pasha, aims at Egypt
with $50 900 men. The third is located
around Bagdad with $4,000. The
fourth, in the Caucasus, numbers
100000, while the fifth, estimated at
something over 10000 is operating in
the vicinity of the Dardanelles.
Probably the best equipped troops
are gathered around Constantinople,
which is also admirably defended by
concentric rings of up-tO-date fortified
tons. An excellent battery has been
placed in position Immediately below
the mosque of st. Sophia.
Although the German advisers OF,
the government have taken over praca
tical command of military affairs, they
make no attempt to NEEDLE in police
and civil matters. The press censor
ship, for example, is under Turkish
auspices, and correspondents, even
from Germany, are handled ruthlessly
Thus the correspondents of the Co
longne Zeitung and the Deutches
Armee Zeitung have been interned at
Konia, the correspondent of the Neue
Freie Presse has been condemned to
years Imprisonment, and the rep
resentative of the Berlin Tageblatt
has been expelled.
