Cross Country Run.
Event To Be Held At Frederick
November 3Oth.

The Frederick News is arranging for
another cross country run, the same to
be held on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. Both.
This run will be over three mile
course and be governed by the rules I'M
der which the race of year ago was run.
Boys from the various High Schools of
the county will participate in this event,
and no doubt much keener interest will
be manifested this season than was shown
at the first meet.
1t will also be remembered that Roy
English, of the Thurmont High School,
toted home the coveted loving cup offer
ed as first prize. Likely our High School
will be well represented in the coming
event, English being among the number.
Last year there were 81 starters and
it is felt sure at least so will start next
Thursday. The start will be made from
in front of TIE News building. The
course will cover distance of about
three miles, part of which will be cross
country. Boy Scouts will be distributed
along the route to render first aid and
signal the correct route to the runners.
The course that will be taken will not be
announced until the morning of the race.
This is done for the sake of the county
athletes or so that no one will have an
opportunity to go over the route before
hand when others will not.
The prizes that will be offered by The
News and Post will be on display in the
windows of C. M. Malone, the latter part
of the week

. ~ q
known All the War Department today
that General Funston has teleRraphed
General Pershing for detSf1ed ac-
count of his operations in the cam
paign against villa.
A telegram from General Pershing
was communicated to the War De-
~partment by General Funston today.
1t made no reference to any engage
ment between the expeditionary forces
and Villa or between Carranzista and
Villista forces.
General Pershing asked for a supply
Of field glasses for use of officers OF
he cxpeditionary force.
Staff officers are unable to account
for the lack of details of operations
in Pershing's dispatches.
On account of this lack of Informal
ton the belief prevailed at the War
Department today that Villa has dis
persed his forces into small guerilla
bands and is continuing his retreat
This was the explanation accepted for
the request of a large supply of feld
glasses. 1t is believed Pershing will
ne compelled to place his main re-
lance on army scouts, armed with
glasses, rather than on aeroplanes, in
the hunt to capture Villa.
