Sullivan enlisted in the naval re-

GilrOy and Whelan, each with an

smitten with military ardor and have
announced their intention OF leaving
Georgetown at once, They fear the
war will be over before they can get

Unless more Hilltoppers seize the
opportunity OF enlisting, ENsndine

GoorEetovn's supremacy over the
UsGacs. who had already defeated the
Camp Meade officers. has led many to
look for q one-sided game.
The Camp Meade team is composed
of excellsnt players, but they have so
little time for practice that they can
hardly hope fora victory over a WELL

dfteen minutes q day, and that COM

account Il Is not thought that the

No Undisputed Champion.
While the South looks TO Georgia
Tech as it's banner bearer for the
season, the Middle West TO Ohio
State, and the East TO Pittsburgh,
not one OF these teams is entitled to
the unqualified championship or the

Georgia Tech leads the country In

Georgetown last season, scoring 4Sl
points as Rgaingt II for all oppo-
uents. Ohio Sra.e's total for the
year was 2S2 against o for opponents.
Pittsburgh scored 230 points to 81
for opponents.
It is difficult, by cross-section rea-

FEMALE WORKERS IN JAPAN.

In one of the articles on Japan con-
trlbuted by Mr.. s. S. Mcclure to the
New York Evening Mail the writer
states that he saw girls IL years old
working at filing match boxes and
earning cents day! At this rate Of
wages it was found cheaper to employ
hand labor than to fill the boxes by
machinery. In the same article, Mr..
Mcclure tells OF the enormous increase
of female workers of all ages IN the
Japanese factories. Additional work.
ers are recruited from the ranks of
women and girls at the rate of 200, 900
a year, and their wages range from 5
cents to 20 cents day of fourteen to
sixteen hours.
In view of these conditions 1t IS easy
to see how Japan is rapidly increasing
her expectation of manufactured ar.
ticles to the United States, and how it
has become necessary to ship to Japan
many millions of American gold with
which to pay for the excess of our i'm
ports from over our exports to that
country.
All this is made possible by the low
Tariff and no-Taritf on imports estab-
Ilshed by the Underwood Free-Trade
Tariff law. Thanks to the privileges
granted In that law, Japanese indus
tries are, as pointed out by Mr.. Nc
Clure, increasing their output and their
profits at an enormous rate. Ameri- |
can tree-Trade is transferring vast
quantities of American wealth to
Japan.
