Since the game of yesterday George

sidered as having a chance to win at
Annapolis The Navy is hardly as
strong as Princeton and tho chances
are tnaI the Tigers would beat the
by just as big a score -
they did Georgetown. The Hflltoppers
would like to win from the sailors
probably just as much as they would
from Princeton. and they will go to
Annapolis possibly ~ the short end Of
the odds. but certainly with an oppoS-
tunity to battle on pretty nearly even
terms. 1t would not be a big surprike
to see the Hflltoppers get away with
the Navy game. though the chances
might be said, on general principles, to
favor the Navy.
The Maryland Aggies made better
preparations for the opening game with
the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute yes
terday than they did year ago. The
changed result tells the story of what
that meant In 1914 the Baltimore school
took the measure Of the Farmers by q
to 0, the result Of a failure to prepare
properly for the contest. because the visft-
ing team was underestimated
The Farmers have better prospects than
a year ago, without doubt. The material
is better, though the squad is not 30
large. 1t seems now that a team above
the average can be developed, provided
there are no misfortunes encountered In
the way Of injuries. Much of the probable
success or failure of the eleven depends
on what kind of substitute material can
be developed to- take the place Of tho
regulars in case some Of them are hurt.

RIOTlNG AT MEXICO CITY
Courier From Capital to Vera Cruz
Brings Alarming Reports-Wash-
ington Says It's Serious

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS conditions
In Mexico City, with unchecked mobs
rioting and looting, are described in
dispatches cabled to the United States
government from Vera Cruz by a cour-
fer who left the Mexican capital last
Friday, June rs.
When tAe courier started virtually
the entire garrison had been with
drawn to join the Zapata army on the
outskirts Of the city opposing the at
lacking Carranza force under Gen. Pa
BILE Gonzales. Gonzalez had been driv-
en- back with considerable loss, but
was waiting for re-enforcements com
ing up from Vera Cruz before renew
ing the assault.
No mention was made Of attacks
upon foreigners, so officials assumed
that they we're safe. Many stores had
been looted, the dispatches said, and
great mobs we're rioting and seizing
food wherever it was to be found.
The Mexican capital has been cut off
from communication with the outside
world by wire and rail since June Is.
The Zapatistas are said to have
nearly $4,000 men and, although poorly
equipped for battle against Gonzalez.

AMERICANS DROWN
Captain q British Mule ship Makes

AMERICANS ON SHIP SUNK
Muleteers on British Liner Conveying
Mules to War Zone Lost When
Submarine Torpedoes Boat

Washington. - The freight liner
Armenian, chartered by the Leyland
line to the Dominion line, flying the
British flag, and carrying mules from
Newport News, Va, to England, was
tOrpedoed and sunk June % by the
German submarine U-Ss off Cornwall
England. and nearly a score Of Amert
can muleteers aboard are reported
lost. according to messages to the
State Department from John s. Arm
strong, Jr., consul at Bristol.
Twenty-Five men in all we're lost and
ten injured.
The news created a sensation in Of
fetal quarters, as It was the first case
Of loss of American lives since the
sinking OF the Lusitania. The action
Of the Washington government, how
ever, depends almost entirely on
whether the Armenian was chartered
by the British government and was
in fact, a transport Of war aboard
which Americans would sail at their
own risk, or whether she was an IN
armed merchantmen. In the latter
case, even though carrying contra
band, the ship should have been sub
jected to visit and search and those
aboard transferred to a place Of safety
before the destruction of the vessel
was attempted, officials hold.
In the absence Of conclusive infor
nation on these points, officials de
clined to say what effect the sinking
Of the Armenian would have on pend
ing negotiations between the United
States and Germany. Immediate IN,
quiry was directed, however, to Am.
bassador Page at London to obtair
more details.

PUBLIC RECEPTION ROOM ON THE
EAST SIDE OF BUILDING IS
WRECKED.
It HAPPENS At MIDNIGHT
Officials Believe That Crank Who De-
sired to Create a Sensation ls Re-
sponslble-Probably Was q
Timed Machine.

Washington.-A tremendous expl0-
sion, believed to have been caused by
some kind Of bomb or Internal ma
chine, wrecked the public reception
room on the east side Of the capitol
building shortly before midnight Of
July 2. No one was injured
Officials believe that the explosion
was placed by a crank who desired to
create a sensation. Visitors we're al
lowed in the room during the day and
a timed machine might have been left
without attracting attention.
supt Woods Of the capitol building
summoned by panic-stricken watch
men, made a hurried investigation
then telephoned for an expert on ex-
plosives. Until the expert has made
his report no official statement con-
corning the incident viii be made pub
lie.
The building had been closed since
dark and there was no one in It but
the watchmen and telephone switch
board operators. Waterman Jones on
the floor below at the east entrance
said he was blown from his chair.
The report could be heard for
mile, and in a few minutes crowd Of
excited people had gathered.
While some officials thought the
explosion was the work of an ire
sponsible crank with no other end in
view than a sensation, others ser'-
ously suggested that It, might have
been perpetrated by some one dssir-
ing to demonstrate his disapproval Of
some of the policies Of the American
government.
Elliott Woods, superintendent Of the
capitol building; sergeant-at-Arms
Higgins Of the Senate and the head of
the capitol police who directed the in
quiry, refused to give any theory Of the
causes Of the explosion until the in
vestigation was completed.

EAST CAMPAIGN A PUZZLE
England Is at Loss to Understand the
Continued Teutonie Drive Into
Russia.

London.-The Austro-German drive
northward into Poland from Galicia
is gaining momentum and England Is
puzzled as to whether the German
purpose is to make this the main ef
fort or to continue a concentrated Of
fensive to force the Russians from
the southeast tip of Galicia.
Whatever the ultimate object is,
fighting along the emilia Lipa river has
not abated and Berlin not only re-
cords progress here, but also farther
north in the arc around Lemberg and
along what has become the northern
front, between the Vistula and the
Bug.
The Austro-German forces on this
front are estimated at 100000 and
their progress has been rapid. They
have crossed the forest fringing the
Tanew river and are not far from the
Zamosc fortress, Is miles north Of the
Galician frontier.
Only a hundred miles to the north is
the great Russian base, Brest-Litovsk
linked with Warsaw by important rail-
ways and lying almost due east of the
Polish capital.
The development Of the Galician
campaign has created a situation en-
tirely unexpected by the allies.
A few months ago the Russians we're
at the Carpathian passes, and in the
spring confident predictions we're made
in England and France that Hungary
soon would be overrun. The British
press has been optimistic for weeks
that the Russians would turn, but 1t
now frankly comedies that the inva-
sion OF Russia is serious. The papers,
however, put faith in Russia's cam.
paign for the production of more mu
nitions.

ASKS Help On VAR LOAN

Day Expense.

LOndon.-Penny-Wlse economy here
tofore has not been a strong feature Of
the gatherings at Guild Hall. so closely
connected with aldermanie banquets
Of proverbial opulence, but Premier
AsQuith chose this home Of wealth to
initiate a movement in support Of the
British war loan on June 20. He urged
personal thrift throughout the nation
so as to make it possible for the coun-
try TO bear the strain Of the expendi-
ture Of SIS, 900 daily entailed by thu
cost Of the war.
As If to give the campaign a good
send-off, the first really big subscrip.
ton to the war loan was announced ST.
multaneously with the appearance Of
Premier AsQuith on the platform. 1t
was by a London assurance company
and for s15,OO0.O0O.
Premier Asquith emphasized that
this was the first great democratic
loan in the financial history OF Great
Britain. The state, he said, was ap-
pealing to all classes, even those whose
resources we're most limited.
Waste on the part Of either indi-
viduals or classes, said Mr.. Asquith,
which always is foolish and short
sighted, IS. in these times, nothing
short Of a national danger"
The PREMIER then discussed how a
country which uormally had only $780,
600, 600 to spare yearly could get this
huge, unprecedented draft out Of its
resources. He dismissed as impracti-
cable the idea OF selling investments.

ALABAMA WITHOUT LIQUOR
Stringent Prohibition Law Becomes
Effective June 30-Mueh Revenue
Is Lost In Operation Of Law

Montgomery. - Legally speaking
Alabama is without liquor now. At IL
o'clock on the night of June 80 saloons
in the seven counties and the dispen-
sary in the one county which have sold
intoxicants under the law Of 1911 we're
closed, never to open again until the
Merritt-Denson prohibition law is
erased from the states statute books.
For several weeks liquors have been
sold at bargain prices to those who
were attracted without the glare of
newspaper and billboard liquor adver-
Using. and reports from all counties
indicate that only small amounts of
liquor we're on hand when the saloons
closed for the last time.
II a person sells intoxieants in this
state now he is subject to prosecution
under the most stringent laws ever
adopted by any state. He may be
fined or imprisoned or both punish
ments may be inflicted. II he is sus-
pected of being a violator Of the pro-
hibition law his premises may be
searched and the mere holding Of more
than the amount permitted by law is
prima facie evidence that he has the
liquor for illegal disposition.
Estimates are that Alabama will
lose about $4,000 a year by the oper-
alton Of the prohibition law, while the
counties and cities in which saloons
have been run viii be forced to find
the means Of replacing a much greater
amount.
