a common level and the Blue, playing
on its own grounds and with everything
to gain and little to lose. is likely to
emerge from the contest in the role OF
victor.
Somewhat similar conditions prevail on
the eve of the Army-Navy game. The
West Point team contains several vet
Grams who have played previous seasons
with the Cadets or at other institutions
and who have established regulations as
gridiron stars. The soldiers backfield
with Oliphant and Vidal playing, has
two of the most finished all round Of
fensive ground gamers in the country.
The line, from tackle to tackle, is one
of unusual strength and ability. If there
is any weakness it will be found in the
ends and possibly at quarter
NAVY'S TEAM NEW
The Navy, on the other hand, is COM
paratively a new combination. The team
has not played with the same swing or
consistency as the Army and has not
shown equal ability on either the often
sive or defensive. The annual contest
however, is notable for the fierceness
with which every yard is fought and
form is occasionally thrown aside for
the man-to-man game. Under these
conditions individual experience and
ability is always the deciding factor, and
here again the army appears to have the
advantage.

sylvania will meet West Virginia Wes-
leyan, while Cornell is resting for the
annual Thanksgiving Day contest with
the Quakers. Syracuse faces Tufts;
Washington and Jefferson plays Chatta-

Weed-Cutting and
Dog-License Laws
Will be Enforced

Strict enforcement of the weed-cut-
ting and dog-license ordinances was
ordered last night by the city coun-
ell The police were given instructions
to see that the provisions of the ordl-
nances are carried out under penalty
of arrest.
Councilman Phelps brought the
matter to the attention of the council.
He pointed out that published notice
had been given that weeds must be
cut but that there had been little COM
pliance and no attempt to force it. The
ordinance requires all residents to
keep their premises and adjoining
streets free of noxious weeds and all
owners Of vacant lots to do the same.
4 motion was made and carried that
the recorder give published notice
again and that time limit for COM
pliance be specified after which the
police were to arrest all who have not
obeyed
Councilman Phelps also called at
tention to the fact that about half the
dog owners in the city have paid Ii
cense fees and that the other half
have not and enjoy the same priv
ileges as those who nave. He made
the motion, which was carried, that
this ordinance be strictly enforced al
so.

AMERICAN NOTE
IS RESENTED BY
De FACTO HEADS
Officials in Mexico City Point Out
Alleged FaIlaCieS in Argument Of
President Wilson.

MEXICO CITY, June Mexican
officials today generally resented the
tone of the American note and point
ed to the alleged fallacies in Wilson's
argument, They contend that the
presence of American troops in Mex
leo no longer is justified. It is gener-
ally believed that Villa is dead, since
three months have elapsed since any
one has seen him. His small force has
been dispersed.
one official said: I'VE warmly
challenge the statement that the con-
stltutionalists have not cooperated
with the Americans TO prevent border
raids. At the beginning of the trou-
BILE Obregon asked for the plans OF
the American expedition so that he
could cooperate. The information was
refused leaving him at a great disad-
vantage.
"The fact that one raider was found
with an old cOnstitutionalist commits
sion in his pocket is not proof of the
Wilson contention that Carranzistas
participated in the raids. 1t is un-
just to blame the Mexican authorities
for such sporadic acts"

HARTFORD CITIZENS
LOCKED IN MEMORIAL
FORCED TO REMAIN PRISONERS
IN BUILDING AT HODGEN-
VILE FOR OVER HOUR.

II. p. Taylor and w. S. Tinsley,
who went TO Hodgenville as members
of the general committee from Ohio
county to escort the President to
the Lincoln farm, had a unique ex-
perience Monday which they say was
for a time more vexing than anus
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor and Mr.. Tins
ley entered the memorial building,
in which only members of the pres
idential party and committeeman
were allowed at the time. They in
speeted the building and after the
President and his party had regis
tered and passed out they also reg
istered their names and prepared to
depart for the speaking. In the
meantime the custodian of the hall
had, in his excitement. closed and
locked the doors and to their great
surprise the party found themselves
"locked up for the first time.
G.. Earl Wilson. of Louisville,
and a man from Shelbyville were
fellow prisoners and the party set
about making plans for their escape,
The building is so constructed that
no one on the outside could be made
understand and their pleas for as
sistance were at first in vain.
After an hour and half of futile
attempts to bring about their release
however, a friend on the outside
realized the trouble and Louisville
police set the party at liberty, much
be it verify said, to their delight.
