NORMAL'S HUSKIES
ARE OUT TODAY
Not Many Boys in School
But Most of Them Want
to Play.

The first call for football candi-
dates resounded in the halls OF the
Normal school this morning. The
first practice will be held at South
Side Park this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock and from the interest that has
been manifested there is reason to
believe that there will be a good turn
out of the male enrolment OF the
school.
At present there are but about So
boys enrolled, and il the school is to
have winning team there must be
a good percentage of these respond as
candidates. Yesterday Coach Ernie
Bell was over to the Normal school
endeaYoring to stir up little enthu-
siasm, but upon his arrival there he
found his efforts not necessary; that
the small enrolment OF boys were al
most a unit in their anxiety to get
into the game and were only awaiting
the first call for practice.
Coach Bell, who will again be in
charge Of the team, has purchased
new uniforms for the boys, which will
be given out within the next few days.
Several of the candidates, enough
for a team, were out to South Side
park yesterday evening limbering up
for the practice to be held this after
noon.
Manager George Gregg, of the Nor
NAL eleven, is not in school this year.
Captain Mike Hamilton is in the
ranks and will lead the team at the
quarterback position. Salvati, the
old Normal li0eman who has had
about two years of experience on the
team, is again in school and will be
effective figure in the development of
a good defensive line. George Hill,
of the Fatrmont High, Is out for half
back and will in all probability be
among the best in the backfeld. With
the exception of these four men all of
the candidates are inexperienced.

TRAWELETTE

BY NIKSAH

The Germans have Cancelled the ex-
emption of the people of Oberammer-
gau from military service.
This little village is the scene of
the world-famous Passion Play. Here
was re-enacted decade after decade by
the peasants of the town the immortal
drama of the death of Christ. Ever
since 1888, when the Black Death
swept over the neighborhood and the
prayers of the villagers were answer
ed, they have kept up the practice of
representing the drama as a thank
offering.
AS thank-offering the custom
originated, but of late years it had
become commercialized. as has SO
much else in this twentieth century.
In some years as many as 200,0 900
people came from all over the world
to view the spectacle. to the corre-
spending profit of the players and the
village. According to a traditional
agreement, one-third of the receipts
went to the village, and the remaining
two-thirds were divided among the
players.
The villagers took their part in the
great spectacle simply and seriously.
They were plain peasant folk, and
their town in southern Bavaria, near
the Swiss border, separated from
Prussia by almost the whole width of
Germany. was a plain peasant town.
The mountains surround it, and the
sweet-toned bells dangling from the
necks of innumera BILE cows and goats
made mellow music thru the quiet
streets.
None of the players seemed to feel
any inccngruity between his rustic
daily life and the towering character
he might be called upon to represent.
Visitors to the play might be lodged
in the house of Herod, or PLATE, or
Joseph of Arimathea.
One of the privileges accruing to
the players in the drama was exemp-
ton from military service. Now that
privilege has been cancelled. The
maelstrom of war has swept down
one of the last bits of peace remain
ing in the central empires. 1t is said
that they have even put a gun into the
hands of the man who for years en-
acted the part of the principal figure
in the world tragedy

They do not regard the German wom-
an as their enemy. She is one of the
worst victims of German militarism
in their minds, and in winning the
war they hope to see her emancipated
from the servile status she occupied
before the war. Recently a news dis
patch was read before a meeting of
women in London. 1t concerned a
German girl aviator. who, with hair
clipped short and in officers costume,
had been taken into the army aviation
corps and had succeeded in bringing
down three of the enemy's airplanes
The fraulein had lost her fiance in an
air fight. and she was out after re-
venge.
The women of the London meeting
for once heard the report of a Ger
man victory with mingled feelings. 1t
was the victory of a woman, and
therefore victory for the sex. This
fellow-feeling among the women of
the belligerents promises to prove a
factor OF immense importance in
drawing the nations together after the
war.

servationists of the Anti-Saloon league
are overlooking an opportunity to do
the country a service. Why not In
clude every drink made from grain
in the bone-dry clause of the food
control bill? The answer is that the
prohibition leaders saw an opportun-
ity to score a victory over liquor under
the banner of food control and took
advantage of it. A fight on liquor is
a cause sufficiently popular to make
It unnecessary that it be carried on
under cover. While endeavoring to
deliver a knockout blow to alcohol
they have operated under the cloak
Of food conservation. Perhaps all is
fair in war, but the innocent bystand-
er has been made to suffer from a

government figures of exports by ar
ticles cover the ten months ending

exports of wheat to neutral Europe in
the ten months ending with April,

1900, 900 bushels in the correspond
ing months of 1916. and 54.0OO,Oo0 in
