KING MAKES DONATION
IRcpublican A. p. Leased WireJ

| LONDON, April 2.-King George has placed e100,0O0 at the disposal of the treasury. A letter accompanying the donation said: 'It is the kings wish that this sum which he gives in con- sequence of the war should be applied in whatever manner is deemed best in the opinion of his majesty's govern ment." The contribution is regarded by the newspapers as an effort on the part of the monarch to go hand in hand with the people in making personal sacrifice for the carrying on of the war. The king, they say, has not given up any of his usual revenues, but he has made retrenchment and curtail- ment in his household.

 that would make it about ninety days and that Nas all right. He then regis

 Monroe streets and there were no ques-

 to the polls Healey asked me who I
 was going to vote for and said I didn't

 that I had better vote for Corpstein,
 Woods and Cisney, and I did.

 I didn't try to conceal the fact that hadn't been in Arizona long.
 Last Saturday Healey came to me at the restaurant where 1 am working and asked me to go with him to Ned Creigh- tons office. I had never seen Creigh- ton before that day. Creighton asked me to sign an affidavit telling about my registration. I read the paper over carefully and then signed it. When the affidavit appeared in The Gazette it had a sentence at the end, q am a qualified elector of the city of Phoenix. That sentence was not on the affi- davit when I signed it and I am ready to take my oath it was not there when I put my name to the paper"
 B. T. Wilkinson, president of Local No 1889, United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners, stated last even 1 ing that he had never heard of C. w. Marshal and William Hempel, who are registered from the rooming house, 210-212 East Washington street. The Gazette on Saturday stated that these | two men are members of the carpen- ters' union."
 If they belonged to the union they would certainly have brought their cards to the Phoenix local before be- ginning work in this section. It is my opinion they do not belong to the car penters' union and know they are not affiliated with the Phoenix local "On Saturday Ned Creighton came to me and asked me to do what could for Marshal and Hempel He said they were in trouble, and that as they be- longed to the union I should do what I could for them. I told him that I did not know the men, that 1 was certain l they did not belong to the union and I that even if they did belong to the 1 union 1 would not. as president of Phoenix local, stand back of them if ] they had committed crime or violated any law. Creighton urged me to look !! into their case. but l refused, because l 1 knew they were not members of Pnoe- nix local.

 The war minister, during session of. the main committee of the reichstag. made a confidential report about the situation of the German army. Ac- cording to the newspaper, the minister said recruiting was assured for a long time. It was not planned, he said. to extend the age limit beyond 45 years. On the contrary, soldiers who had passed the age of 45 during the war had been withdrawn from the front. The minister said that he recognized that this was largely due to the ex- cellent care given the wounded.
 The minister gave the committee figures concerning German losses which proved that they have not been heavy as compared with those of the en- | cmics.
 Germany the minister said, was provided with raw materials sufficient Tor long time It was necessary. he added, to use the stocks of materials carefully, but there was no reason for fear, no matter how long the war keeps up"

take part In to be held in the gymna-

night, December z, when they are to
meet the Jersey City Pennsylvania
Railroad Y. M. c. A
Captain Holmes Cliver's men will
hold practice and final tryouts on
Tuesday night of next week at 8
O'Clock. At that time all the men
will be put through their PAGES, and
the grain be chosen from the chaff.
He has sent an urgent call out to the
candidates to show up at that time,
and wants to see the entire team and
all aspirants for positions ready for
the tryouts.
There Is little doubt but that the
team will come up to high standard
but they will be lacking in some of
the points where they have been con
sistent point gamers In the past. The
loss. of the two who are now living In
Baltimore, Jimmie Mecredy and Earl
Mullins, took q man sized lot out OF
the local teams chances, and the in
juries from which Al Mehaffy has
been suffering will preclude any pos
sibility of the dependable Cornelian
doing any running this season. And
then again, Frank Mccormick seems
TO nave been 1IteQ from tne pO6u-
bilities. and Leo Lowenkopf is un-
certain.
However, there are many others
ready to step In and fill. the gap, and
--(just as this was being written a
letter arrived from Leo Lowenkopf)
Let's pause and read Leo's dope:
when does the Y track season
open? I copped first in. the high in
the interclass here; did feet four
inches. Also got third in 220 low
hurdles. in 81 seconds and was one
OF Freshman team that won inter-
class one-half mile relay. rar
first. I got a silver cup and a gold
medal coming. Freshman class won
easily"
So that apparently Leo is going to
be big help in the coming campaign

al good men to be worked on and de-
veloped for the races, and in the
Jumps and weights Pew will have
several men whose ability has helped
the association previously and will, II
is believed. be there" when the sea-
son opens.

RUTGERS TRAINED
WITH v. VA. TACTICS
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, Nov. 10.-The Rut-
gers football team had its first practice
session of the week yesterday after
noon, work having been called off pre-
viously by Coach Sanford in the be-
lief that the men would over-train and
that it was overtraining that made
them play as poorly as they did against
Holy Cross last week.
John Whitbill, who has been sub
stituted in the backfield since Kelly
was injured, was hurt again yesterday
when he sprained his ankle slightly.
Wallace will take his place against
West Virginia tomorrow.
Sanford has been drilling the team
with plays Cleaned from the West
Virginians, which have been taught to
the scrubs to use against the varsity.
The defense Is steadily strengthening,
and Sanford believes that his players
will have little trouble in stopping the
southerner's plays.
Harser Is playing well at end and
is putting up sensational defense
and attack. Elliot, who was injured
in the Holy Cross game, has quite re-
dovered, and will be in tomorrow's
struggle.
In the game, the West Virginians
outweigh the Scarlet man, and, 1t is
thought, they will try the line plung-
ing game. The southerners are a tall
and husky lot, which will give them a
decided advantage in handling forward
passes on the lot.
