NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Judging
from past performances the fact that
Percy Haughton is the Harvard coach
and that Yale threatens to rise after
being the under dog since 1911, it
appears today from casual glance
that at New Haven tomorrow about
$4,000 persons will see one of the
hardest fought football games ever
PLAYED between the Blue and Grim
son.
Also, judging from the power, OF
the Army backfieId. comparative rec
ords and the fact that the Army has
held the upper hand for several years,
it looks as though patrons OF the
service battle at the Polo grounds are
going to see the Army mule once
more victor. But no matter which
way the tide runs, and no matter
how much old dope is kicked OFF the
football fields, there is one portion
of the we'll known advance news that
cannot be stifled. Tomorrow will be a
record breaker in the way OF crowds
at football games. It doesn't make
much difference what kind of wealth
er is ground out for the fray. At New
Haven at least $4,000 persons are
expected to be on hand More than
1900 tickets have actually been
sold. At the Polo grounds upwards
of 10000 will pack and jam them
selves in to watch the Army-Navy
fray. This brings grand total OF
about $4,000 persons who will watch
forty-four men maui each other.
Nays team reached New York
early today and Immediately went to
the Biltmore hotel which will be
!, - Tnoch InOra G
huskies. They will take their final
workout this afternoon at the Polo
grounds.
Harvard's team left Cambridge yes
terday and the men now are in New
London, where they will stay until
tomorrow.
Hotels Are Crowded.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24-Eew York's
hotels are crowded to their roofs to-
day on the eve Of the Army-Navy
football game. Thousands of persons
intent upon seeing either the game
here or the Harvard-Yale contest at
New Haven, are here. The New
Haven crowd will be jamming trains
to the Connecticut city all day today
and tomorrow morning. All hotels
reported every room taken.
The Atlantic fleet arrived early to-
day Warships will remain anchored
in the Hudson for the big Naval
game. The Wyoming, Texas, Okla
homa, Connecticut and Florida bat
tleships were in the fleet. Dread
noughts Arkansas and Pennsylvania;
three cruisers, the Dubuque, San
Francisco and Baltimore and the col
hers Jupiter and Cyclops already
were in port.
Between 10000 and $4,000 men
aboard the ships will be granted
shore leave while they are in the
river.

STANDARDIZED SHIPS
PLANNED BY THE BRITISH

LONDON, July ia new epoch In

lied Ship Construction Company
| with a capital of s1,5oo,ooo. had Its In
ception from the United States, whence
the first suggestion of Standardization
emanated. The plans are provided for
the construction at Chepstowe of ten
large ships at the same time, Of a
| standardized type, 5000 tons dead
weight. with a length of from $50 feet
to $50 feet, while machinery will also
be especially designed for producing
standard parts of hulls and engines
The scheme is backed by the leading
shipping interests of Great Britain.
and the idea has been approved in
/ shipping circles, where the dearth of
to be built will be well suited for the
South Wales ports. to carry coal out
and bring back grain.
This preparation for current and
after war needs probably will soon ex-
tend to an empire shipbuilding devel-
cpment. and. in addition to one large
British firm already engaged on ship
building T,dkaIs in II. Canada three others
Brown & Co. of Clydebank-are re-
ported to be planning to start ship

in a large measure solve the difficulty
of congestion of labor and output in
many of the crowded areas Of Great
Britain, as the firms mentioned are
sure to take a large number of work
men to their new yards.
The esta adjustment of the standardized
idea and the extension of shipbuilding
to other parts of the empire is neces-
sary in view of the tremendous boom
now in progress in neutral countries,
especially the United States, where it
is thought the cost of production after
the war will be very little less than

Assassin" "
the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The drug hashish. or Indian hemp. for
which Egyptians will pay such high
price. has given us our word assassin.
These desperadoes formed originally a
secret society in Persia. in the eleventh
century. members of which were un-
der a vow of blind obedience to their
chief. They were called upon to per-
petrate the most atrocious deeds. and
before these humans were sent out to
perform their grewsome tasks they
were given hashish. by which they
were thrown into a kind of ecstasy
or intoxication. Hence they were
called ''Hashishin." meaning hemp-eat-
ers. The word became part of western
languages. but was changed into as
sassins."
