T7OMORROW Is the big day IN foot
ball for Ell Paso, and it looks as
if FL Paso viii take advantage of
the game as it has never done before.
The School of Mines eleven, and the
FL Paso high school aggregation, are
slated to do battle in the annual gridiron
classic of this neck of the woods. and
early indications point to a real, honest
to goodness crowd turning out to pay
homage to the sons of FL Paso. who are
trying to gain fame and honor on the
field marked with white chalk
And the game itself should be a corker
to watch. True enough. the Tigers de-
feated the Miners, early in the season,
but that was before coach Tommy Dwyer
had managed to get the full strength of
the school out TO practice. Since then.
its been a different story at the School
OF Mines Every thought at the Fort
Bliss institution has been to beat the
Tigers and every effort has been laid
along these lines for the past two s,eeks.
Tough Game All Around.

Japan Denies Naval Activity

Tokio, July 13-Dispatches sent to Amer ica stating that Japan has authorized the construction of four superdreadnaughts are untrue.

The programme calls for three superdreadnaughts. two battle cruisers, numerous light cruisers. destroy CTS and submarines.
 Tn superdreadnaughts already com- pleted or now building are the Fuso, Va mashro Ise. Ryuaga and Nagato.
 The reported programme would fulfil the naval ambition by the creation of a first line fleet of eight superdreadnaughts. Officials of the navy department declined today to discuss the programme, saying the Japanese press accounts of it are sur mises.

IMPROVED EQUIPMENT

Why have our prospects improved? The answer is, the equipment of our ar mics has improved, enormously and is continuing to improve.
 ''The British navy until recently has ab- sorbed more than half of the metal work CTS of this country. The task of build ing new ships and repairing the old ones for the gigantic navy, and fitting and equipping them, occupies the energies of million men. Most of our new factories now are complete; most of the machinery has been set up. Hundreds of thousands of men and women. hitherto unaccus- toned to metal and chemical work, have been trained Tor munitions making.
 Every month we are turning out hun dreds of guns and howitzers. light, med ium and heavy. Our heavy guns are roll ing in at great rate and we are turn ing out nearly twice as much ammunition in single week-and, what is more, nearly three times as much heavy she'll as we fired for the great offensive in September, although the ammunition we expended in that battle was the result of many weeks of accumulation. The new factories and workshops we set up have not yet attained one-third of their full capacity, but their output is now increas- ing with great rapidity. Our main diff faculties in organization, construction, equipment. labor supply and readjustment have been solved. If officials, employers and workmen keep at it with the same zeal and assiduity as they have hitherto employed, our supplies will soon be over whelming.
 T cannot help thinking that the inn provement in the Russian ammunition has been of the greatest and most un- pleasant surprises the enemy has sus- tained. tStill, our task is but half ac- eomplished. Every great battle furnishes additional proof that this is a war of equipment. More ammunition means more victories and fewer casualties"
