McGILL WINS OVER ELY IN
SECOND FOOTBALL GAME

The second football gene between
the McGill and Ely grade schools was
played Oct. IA and won by a score
of 20 to Il by McGill. The first
game played two weeks ago was also
a victory for the McGill boys, the
score then being 81 to II.
The Ely boys were strengthened
materially by the addition of Kicks,
a former high school boy, and they
came to MeGill positive of winning
and it looked like they would carry
home the bacon at the end of the
first half, when the score was IL to 7
in their favor, but then the ramming
machine of the McGill boys was put
into operation and the Ely boys be-
gan to wayer while MeGill piled up
the score.
The game was practically all
straight football on both sides. Many
pdSStS were lIlcu, Out very low ntiS
completed. Maeart of Ely was al
ways in the way when McGill pass
ed and was always handy when his
own side passed. The back field OF
McGill, Sanders, Dubravac and
Holmes, could hardly be stopped once
under way. Sanders played a remark
ably good game, with the others men,
toned as close. jameson, the quar-
ter, about as big as a minute, once
carried the ball twenty yards for a
touchdown, with no n near him be-
cause Ely did not know where the
ball was. Middagh has the record of
kicking five goals out of six trials,
which is as well as any n does.
Altogether the game was fine. Ev-
lerybody enjoyed it from start TO fin
Iish. Everything IA clean playing,
no one hurt, not even their feelings.
The next game will be played at
Ely October %, when McGill will
be wiped off the map, speaking in
football terms-perhaps.

Antiquity of Passports.

Passports are very ancient institu-
tion. Some Of the old monkish chroni-
clers mention as an achievement on the
part of King Cannte that he obtained
free passes for his subjects through
various continental countries on their
pilgrimages to the shrincs Of the apos-
ties Peter and Paul ut Rome. Each
pilgrim was furnished with a docu-
ment in the nature Of a passport called
"Tructurin de Itinere Peragenta." Han
in bis Chronicle makes reference to-
system Of passports in the time OF
Edward w., and the enforcement OF
this system is known to have beeH
very strict in the reigns of Elizabeth
and James London Mail.

Heligoland a
 Monument to German Diplomatic Triumph

Rising 200 feet from the waters of the North Sea is the island rock of Heligoland, which stands as a rpon- ument to one of the greatest triumphs of German diplomacy. In the pip ing days of peace Heligoland was a comparatively worthless rock, with a lighthouse and a village inhabited principally by fisherfolk, and in the summer a resort for bathers from Hamburg. With Germany and Great Britain at war it has become place of tremendous importance. a bulwark, of strength to Germany and thorn in the flesh of England, well meriting the title sof ''the German Gibraltar" Heligoland-which means "holy land" commands the entrance to the Kiel Canal, protects the mouth of the Elbe with it's great port of Hamburg and the mouth the Weser with its. flour ishing city of Bremen, and serves as shield for the German navy. riding at anchor in the Jade at Wilhelms- haven.
 It Is small wonder. in view of these facts, that the Germans have made the tenth of August the occasion for a celebration, for it was on that date in 1890 that the German Emperor visited the island and took formaf possession, under the terms of. the treaty negotiated with England.
 Heligoland was originally a Danish possession, but 1t was taken over by England in 1907, and confirmed to Great Britain by the treaty in 1874. The English did little in the way of making the island strategio point.

ECUADOR


 The first of the series of revolutions which resulted in the independence of Ecuador began on August 10. 1sos.i just 106 years ago today. and the tenth of August is still celebrate das inde- pendepce day in the South American republic. On the date in question the citizens of Suito deposed the Spanish governor, Castilla, and set up revo- lutionary junta. After a bitter strug- gle the Spaniards regained the as- cendancy, and held it in spite of sew eral rebellions until 1920, when the citizens of Guayaquil inaugurated a successful revolution. In 1922 the royalists were completely routed by Gen. Sucre The presidency of Quito was then incorporated with the Great CT Colombia of Simon Bolivar. This union continued until 1880, when an independent republic. which was given the name of Ecuador, was establisheds Since then Ecuador has had numerous rebellions, and for several years the country has been more or less unset tied politically. but on the whole 1t Is making distinct progress toward economic prosperity and political stability. Tho name of Ecuador was xiven to the republic because of its situation under the equator.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-10

and the average Englishman scarcely knew that such an island existed un- til the announcement of it's transfer to Germany in 1890 brought out a
 storm of disapproval In England the value of Heligoland as a naval station was strongly insisted upon by
 many writers, and Lord Salisbury was
 bitterly criticised for making the
 transfer. The Heligolanders them selves were also clamorous in their
 opposition to the change. but the wishes of a few fishermen and pilots
 were not permitted to weigh in e matter affecting the welfare of em- pires.
 In taking possession of the island the Kaiser issued proclamation in which he promised to look after the welfare of the people, and announce ed that all living males would be exempt from compulsory military and naval service. The fear that they would be forced into the German army or navy was the principal req son for the opposition of the Heligo- flanders to the change in government. The Emperor's promise has not been kept, for Germany had no sooner took possession than many of the islanders were appropriated of their land. re- ceiving a goodly sum in payment. This was far from satisfactory to them, for they were much attached to their island home, which had been the abode of their ancestors for genera tions. The process of developing Heli- goland into a great German naval stronghold caused the civil popula- ton to dwindle. A day or two before the outbreak of the war the few re- maining Heligolanders not connect ed with the government service were removed to the mainland. Most of the men of military age who were formerly residents of the island have been forced into the army or navy, thus realizing the worst fears of the Heligolanders when their island was taken over by the Kaiser. The Heli- golanders were pacifists almost to al man, and had an unusual abhorrencel of war.
