Auburn, October s.-(Special )-Satur- days game beween Auburn and the Ohio soldiers brought out quite a number Of defects in Coach Donahue's machine. Els pecially noticeable was the failure of the Piainsmen to successfully combat the forward pass As will be remembered this was what beat Auburn in the Van- derbilt game last year. It is expected that the Tigers will be put through a strenuous practice this week to break up the aerial game. The only gain that was made on Auburn was by means of the forward pass, and the game last Sat- urday will probably be enough to put Auburns gridiron warriors on lookout for this play

The postponement proved severe dis- appointment to thousands of baseball en- thusiasts who had come from distant points to witness the battle. Almost every city and town throughout the New England middle Atlantic states was rep resented by delegations, large and small. Many had arranged to be absent from their business for only one day and there was a rush of telegrams and long dis- tance telephone calls as soon as 1t was definitely known that the national com mission had decided to postpone the opening game here until tomorrow.
 There was quiet rejoicing among the hotel proprietors and theatre manage ments, however for the postponemeht meant an additional harvest of currency from the fans who were obliged to add another day to their visit in this city If they wished to see the contest.
 Rooms at all the hotels throughout the central belt of Manhattan Island were at premium long before night fall and many fans .ramped miles Tn the rain, bags in hand, before they were able to get accommodations.
 RUSH TO THEATRES
 There was also rush for theatre tick cts and the box offices soon were sold out, leaving the visitors to the mercy of the ticket spectators, who quickly raised the price of their pasteboards, forcing the more economical fans to moving picture places.
 The postponement also furnished a new topic of discussion for all those direct ly or indirectly interested in the world series. Weather reports were Tn great demand and there were many allusions to the famous 1911 series between the New York Nationals and the Philadel- phia Americans.
 Close followers of baseball and world series play in general recalled that dur ing the contest of that year there was a lapse of a full six days between the third and fourth games. Heavy and con- tinuous rain caused the commission re- peatedly to call off the scheduled game until many fans, tired of delay, sold their tickets to the speculators for fraction of their face value and returned to their home towns Since that date the series has been played each year without a postponement or break, ex- cept where a Sunday intervened, until today.

Fred Heidel Tests Out
Stability Of Street Lamp

Last year exhibitor Trubshaw tried
conclusions with the street car and
his automobile, and Friday Fred
Heidel rehearsea a. similar act with
the lamp post at the crossing OF Fifth
avenue and Fourth street. The result
was a scene resembling the wreck of
the Hesperus. Trubshaw claims the
street car was moving as fast as his
automobile, while the only move the
lamp post made was when struck by
the Heidel automobile. Billy DuVal],
another critic, says it is foolish TO try
to drive with one hand, anyway. Mr..
Heidel was returning from the rail
road station with his wife who was re-
turning from a visit with her folks in
Peculiar, Mo. No doubt the husband
was so elated over the return OF his
wife and the release from eating
"war bread" that he became a little
reckless. However, the unfortunate
chauffeur will have some consolation
He can charge the expense up to adj
vertising, and point out to people that
he donated the new lamp post that
will be erected by, the city to take
the place of the one he shattered.
Alls well that ends we'll, only the end
will not come until Fred's friends run
out of jitney josh.

Losses Are Not Heavy
To read some Of the statements
put out by German propagandists
and some of the Paci6sts one would
believe that this war is the most cruel
in history, with the greatest losses.
To read some OF the accounts of cas-.
ualties on the French front it would
be supposed there had never been
such casualties before. AS a matter
of actual record the percentage of
losses is less than those of the War
of the Rebellion. During the five
months Of the fighting in 1914 the
percentage of French losses was SAL
per cent. This has been reduced un-
til now the loss of the u months
fighting in 1916 amounts to only 2.75
per cent, and the losses for the last
six months of that year were only
LIS. per cent. Only 20 per cent Of
the casualties reported caused death,
and the deaths from wounds are only
IL in 1000. The British losses have
averaged about the same. The Amer.
lean losses will be about the same as
the British and French. Some of
the Pacifsts are trying to make it
appear that young men who go to
France with our armies are practi-
cally certain to never return. The
above statistics, which are taken
from the report of NJ. Tardieu, the
French High Commissioner to the
United States, give the lie to the pre-.
posterous, claims of the Paci6sts,
Some of these enemies of the coun.
try recently got out statement say.
ing that $4,000 British physicians
had been killed during the war This
is one of their most glazing lies, be-
cause there have been only 10000
medical men together in the British
armies, and of this number but 159
have fallen in battle.
American youths who valiantly fol-
low the Flag in France have indeed
mighty good chance of returning
to the United States. Insurance COM
panies, which always play on the safe
side, are insuring the lives of our
soldiers who are bound for the front
for 10 4 per cent premiums. This
means, as q business proposition, that
nine out of every ten of our soldiers
are certain to survive the hazards of
the war and ordinary mortality risks
of civil life. The German propagan-
dists and the Pacifists, with their
scare statements, are trying to
make 1t appear that few Of our young
men will return from France, when
the fact is that nearly all of them
will come back after they beat the
Germans. b. .

BACK FROM
THE EAST

Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Gorham re-
turned Saturday from two months
trip into Oklahoma, Kansas and
Colorado. Mr.. Gorham's father re,
turned with them to spend the re-
mainder of the summer. From the
information We can gather, there
can't be any speed limit back in
that country. They were detained sew
eral days in Utah and Colorado on
account of muddy roads in going,
but when they rounded the hill and
started down Through Eastern Colo
rado and Kansas, it would take two
men to see them-one to say,
there they come" and the other
to say, there they go."tThey only
made SIS miles in two days and five
hours, and the trip home was made
in nine and one half days, distance
Ct about 100 miles and not a dollar
foI repairs on the car. Mr.. Gorham
says the crops in general are good.
Some of western Kansas and eastern
Colorado is somewhat dried out
but most of the territory covered,
the crops were good.
