cd the British that there must be

IL IL this threatened restriction
on our commerce which stirs up
protests from Senator Hoke Smith

Their protests. II IN expected.
will be unavailing. The British are
IN complete possession Of the seas

the embargo effective.
Wheat from the United States 10
Germany in 1913 amounted TO 49,.
600. 900 bfshels IL was cut down

TO the neutrals In 1913 was only
10 ZOO, 900 bushels, which figure In
1915 was Jumped TO 100000
bushels.
IL f. obvious that the neutrals
had not consumed such an increas-
ed amount OF wheat; therefore the
British concluded very naturally
that this wheat has found Its way
thru the neutral countries into Ger

The same is true Of other prod

WEAKNESS OF THE
NATIONAL LEAGUE

New York, Nov. 1.-THE weakness
of the National League brand of
base ball as compared with the snap
py brand dished out by the American
League, pointed out by the United
Press in the last World Series, was
admitted today by Governor John X.
Tener, President of the National
League. 1t isn't Wilbert Robinson
who is so much to blame for the loss
of the World Series, according to
Gov. Tener. but is due to the fact
that the players who made up the
National League club We're wholly
unable to do the things which might
have won ball games. 1t. would have
been useless, Tener contends, for
Robinson to follow tactics other than
the ones he did follow. The fielding,
Governor Tener agrees, was some
thing awful and the Brooklyn club
never has chance against such a
grand organization as the Red Sox.
Tener, however, is extremely Opti-
mistic and he believes that before
the time comes for another world
series his league will be strengthen
ed to such an extent that it will give
it's rival opposition of the sternest
sort. Work is now being done, he
declares, which will give the Nation
al League undoubted strength. The
National League proxy agreed that
there were several clubs in the Ma
tional League at the close of the last
playing season which would have
given the world series fans a better

GLASS MILK BOTTLE

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. THE
death knell of the glass milk bottle
in Pennsylvania has been sounded.
DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, the state COM
missioner of health, says that 'it
will have to give way in the near
future to the destructible bottle that
will never be used a second time.
This is taken to mean that within a
few weeks the Health department
advisory board will rule that the
glass milk bottle must 60. Such rul-
ihgs have all the effect of statute
law. Commissioner Dixon doesn't like
the danger of infection through the
promiscuous distribution and gath
ering of bottles, no matter how
cleanly the dairy or creamery may
be.

CIVILIANS WIN
N TARGET PRACTICE

Washington, d. c., Nov. MEM
bers of civilian rifle clubs, by win
ming two of the three National
Match events, shot under govern
ment auspices at Jacksonville, Fla,
october 1925, justified their entry
into these competitions which here
tofore have been largely restricted
to rifle and pistol shots from mill
tary establishments.
Although entirely new to the Ma
tional Match game, 8 Missouri civil
ian, W. H. Spencer of the Mound
City, st. Louis, Rifle and Revolver
club, today holds the title of Nation
al Rife Champion, having bested 933
other experts from the Marine Corps
and National Guard, in firing the
National Individual Match, October
90. G. E. Cook of Washington, D.
c., another civilian, met and van
quished more than 500 pistol experts
in the National Pistol Match, with
the remarkable score of 399 points
out of a possible 42O. In addition to
these honors, to the civilians fell the
priced Soldier of Marathon" Trophy,
one of the prizes in the National
Team Match This was won by the
California Civilian Rifle Team, which
in a field of SO teams finished in
ninth place. To the regular estab-
lishment, represented by the Marine
Corps, went the first place in the Ma
tional Team Match and the first
place in the United Service Match.
The National Matches We're the
climax of a long series of shooting
events-the annual competitions
staged by the National Rifle Associa-
tion and the Southern Rifle Associa-
ton; and victory in these contests
is regarded among American rifle
men as the last word in deciding
championships.
Heretofore civilians have not been
officially recognized in these events.
This year, however, Congress auth
orized the participation of civilian
clubs, of which there are now some
1900 organized under the National
Rifle Association.
From the very first, the civilian
rifemen won recognition on the
State Camp Range by going upon the
firing line, side by side with veteran
military shots, and by giving them a
hard tussle in most of the difficult
events with the military weapon
the service rifle-and in many in
stances coming off victorious.
That the achievements of the civ
ilian riflemen at the recent Florida
matches will be productive of won
derful impetus toward the rehabili-
tation of the United States as a ma
tion of marksmen is the belief of
many men we'll versed in the use OF

TO CHANGE THE F0RN
OF GOVERNMENT

Buenos Aires, Oct. 25.-Letter to
the Freeman-Tribune from Charles
P. Stewart, United Press Correspond
ent: A proposition is before the Ar
gentine congress to change the Buen-
os Aires form of government. Hith-
erto the city has had a commission
government like Washington. The
people are tired, however, of having
their affairs regulated for them by
outsiders. They point out that this
management has resulted in piling
up one Of the largest municipal
debts, considering the community's
size, in the world. 1t is also remark
ed that the attempt to economize by
the unauthorized Withholding Of
percentages of the city employees
wages, is resulting in tiresome ser

les of strikes by the scavengers,
grave diggers and other classes of
city workers.
The situation is also more irritat-
ing from a numerical standpoint
than the one in Washington, where
a national population of about 10O,-
100000 dictates arbitrarily to a
city of about 350,000, while in Ar
gentine, a total population of ap-
proximately 100000 makes local
regulations for capital with pop
ulation exceeding 100000.
The new plan, If adopted, will
abolish the existing commission in
favor of a municipal council, to be
elected by the citizens. A unique
feature of the proposal is that it con-
fers the municipal franchise upon
foreigners more than IS years old
who have lived in Buenos Aires more
than two years il they are married
to Argentine women, are parents OF
Argentine children or pay taxes to
specified amount. The plan even
makes them eligible to councillor
ships above the age of %. Further
more, following the example Of the
national election law, the idea is to
make the exercise of the franchise
obligatory. There is considerable
criticism of this clause, disregard OF
the national compulsory voting law,
which provides penalty Of tenn pes
os or term of imprisonment upon
eligibles who neglect to cast their
ballots, having proved SO general
that the jails would not have held
the offenders If they had been prose-
cuted.

the remainder of the city's 5000
workers would strike before the end
of the week.
