IN FOOTBALL CAMPS
AT IOWA..

I.
ious accident resulted in the fracture
of George Helwig's leg. The Iowa
Falls player was developing rapidly
as lineman on the second string, and
his injury puts a crimp in Coach
Jones plans temporarily. The coaches
are resting the first team men in the
main, as the eleven is pretty soft yet,
and long hard scrimmages are deemed
injurious with the Cornell college
game coming Saturday.
Until this evening the regulars in
most instances gave way to the sub
stitutes. Jones is now working Capt.
Davis at half back, jenkins at quarter,
Hamilton at full back, and Block,
Hunzelman. Reed and Kelley on the
line. One valuable acquisition this
week is J. Kenneth Won Lackum. stel-

At MICHIGAN.
Ann Arbor, Mich. Oct. 4.-Heavy
rains and soggy field slowed things

was foregone yesterday and the Yost
men were put through a signal prac-
tice to familiarize them with the for
nations for Saturday. Because Of
Ohio States lopsided victory over
Case, Michigan fans are expecting an
easy triumph on Saturday, especially
with the big improvement noted this
week.
Despite the fact that Sparks is
Yost's best bet at quarter. it seems
doubtful whether Yost will start him
against Case. Gennebach lacks exper

American Women Rebuilding
War Torn Lorraine Town

until the war was overland the indem-
nifty only promised go per cent of the
construction costs.
But in rebuilding Vitrimont, Mrs.
CrocBer and Miss Polk viii advance all
of the money for immediate construc-
tion. The 60 per cent indemnity FROM
the French government viii revert to
them whenever it is paidbut the 40
per cent remaining is the gift Of the
San Francisco women to Vitrimont
Plans for the reconstruction have
been drawn by the government architect
and fully approved by the minister of
the interior. They include the most
modern ideas as to sanitation, ventia-
ton and Identification, while presery-
ing the general style Of previous archi-
lecture in the town. Curiously enough,
the hardest task in the rebuilding of
tht village was winning over of the vii
layers themselves to the new principles
of sanitation and ventilation since
they were welded to the scheme of
building of centuries ago, as exemplified
in their homes.
Gradually, however, Miss Polk--who
took up her residence in one of the
little houses, has succeeded in winning
over all the villagers to the new ideas.
The cost Of construction for each
house has been placed at about $4,000.
This includes cost Of granary and barn.
The total for the Reconstruction work
in the village, erefore-including the
town hall and school will be about
100000, of which the government will
eventually pay back 100000.
The reconstruction Of the village
brings with it moral help to the vii
layers almost as great as that Of the
material aid. Like most Of the French
towns in the path Of the German armies
the inhabitants suffered terribly. In
the first bombardment, a German shell
struck the little, market place, killing
eight of the women of the village who

Capture Of Another Runan-

London, Jan. l5.--Russa is exerting
such tremendous pressure on the Ger
man line south of Riga that it may
donceivably have Its effect lon lthe
German progress in Rumania.
At several places the Russians have
broken through the German lines and
the positions they took were those con-
structed in the Teutons' twelve months
of occupancy. The Russian advances
were made also despite heavy snow
great stretches of marsh land. A mes
sage from General Dimitrietf, publish
ed here today, pays a tribute to his
mems heroism and cites their capture
of fifty machine guns, thirty cannon
and vast amount of material--includ-
ing 100000 bottles of brandy-as evil
dence of the irresistible force of the
fadvanee.
Already weakened at several places
by the battering OF the Russian assaults
lit is believed here the Germans must
make early reinforcement of their lines
in this theatre or undertake general
withdrawal If reinforcements are Civ.
en-, it is believed they will be taken
from the Rumanian front.
Dispatches from Rumania today in
dicated that the Teutons are again
making desperate efforts to approach
Galatza. For ten days the Teutonic
forces have been unable to make much
progress out of Brailia toward Galatz
although the. latest Berlin statement
claims occupancy of Vadeni, six miles
distant.
