Petrograd, Oct. 15.-The provision
al government IS looking with appre-
!hension on the naval movement Of the
Germans east Of Riga and are bend
ing every energy to oppose their ad-
vance toward Petrograd.
The Germans who landed on Oesel
island are today pushing east and
south, placing the Russian forces in
the Areniberg district in an exceed
ingly difficult position. The latter
may be forced to withdraw to more
advantageous district.
Russian military forces in the Cerel
peninsula are also threatened by the
advance, and are steeling themselves
for the onslaught Of the Teutons.
General Chabowsky, head of the
commission investigating the Korni-
loft affair, told newspapermen he did
not see anything of the character of
high treason IN the acts of Korni-
loft. He said no act was committed
which weakened the fighting front,
and expressed the opinion that he
could only be sentenced under the ar
iticle dealing with attempts against
the established regime involving life
imprisonmnt.
The War Office announced that the
Germans had occupied Arnsburg, the
capital Of Oesel island, Saturday. A
German torpedo boat squadron pressed
back the Russian patrols between the
Island Of Oesel and Dago. Tn Ger

Paris, Oct. 15.-That the Germans
were nearly successful in their in
trigues to break down the morale of
the Allid troops was stated today by
Leon Daude, editor Of the F'rancaise,
who participated prominently in the
exposure Of German intrigue. He
writes:
~ am doing my duty in xposing
the plot against France. Everyone
noticed since the war began that there
was something rotten somewhere,
which delayed the victory for the Al
lis.
"This something was German mon-
ey, employed in Allied %ountries.
There was the Bolo Pasha fund for
corrupting the press, the Won Buelow
fund for diplomatic intrigues. he Ho-
henlohe fund for promoting crimes
and sedition, which was also employed
in promoting the peace plea which
broke out in both army zone rear for

The ts.e is ready to spend S756.5l0
to complete the State Highway to iu-

not proceed until San Bernardino, Riv-
erside and Imperial counties come
forward with a combined appropria
ton of $l,5O3, ,949.
Newell d. Darlington, California
highway commissioner. says that the
Yuma highway may be built soon or it
may be delayed. The whole matter
hinges upon the agility Of the tri-
county appropriation. If the super
visors have acted upon the suggestion
of the State Highway Commission
and included appropriations for arbi'
trary amounts in their budgets to pay
for share of the work, the roaC
will be paved this year. Otherwise il
will be held up, in all probability.
1t is claimed that the state canno
go ahead with its share Of the high
way until each county is ready to pa!
its share. If any of the three coun
ties has its appropriation available
the state can join with it in building

Gamer for the Local
Boys.
NE TOUCHDOW N

Central Union High Schools husky
football eleven walloped the border
city bunch, to 0. and grabbed the
first leg of the valley football cham
pionship.
The score does not tell the story
AS far as the Calexico eleven was
concerned, their utmost hope was to
hold the score down as close as pos
sible. Central had the ball in Calex
leo terrltory at practically all periods
of play. and several times were within
inches of touchdowns.
Central played and won by straight
football, most of the time gaining by
line bucks. The left side of Calexco
was weak and time after time it was
smashed to yield large gains. Central
was not able to gain much by their
end runs. largely owing to poor in
reference.
The largest individual ground gain
er Of the day was Nichols. Central
fullback, who smashed the line time
after time for large gains. Captain
Douglas was closely guarded by the
Calexico squad and was not able to
gain the ground expected of him. Ca
lexico remembered his graf ground
gaining of las. year and centered their
attack principally on him.
CalexicO Defense
The Calexico defense against end
runs was their biggest asset. Carey,
CentraPs speedy right half. tried time
after time to get around their end,
but the Calexico defense always spe-
cialized in the end run defense and as
a result che was never able to get
clear"
Saturdays game proved Centrars
greatest strength to be in rudimental
football-the kind of football that
requires heavy, solid backs with an
ability to smash through the line time
after time without letup, until the
opposing team is demoraliz1d. Line
bucking will probably be the founda-
ton of the Central play this year.
Nichols proved conclusively its value
by gaining most of the ground gained
through the line, and making the lone
touchdown of the day on line smash.
The line needs Improvement. however.
before the team can be made straight
football machine.
Power Is Reserved.
1t is safe to say that the Central
team used but half of their available
power in Saturdays game. What the
team did Saturday was the result of
one weeks practice. Polish was lack
ing in this game. which caused a great
drawback TO the teams playing. The
next game will bring to view an alto
gether new, aggressive, smashing
combination. Before the game Coach
Holway made the following state
.Ment:
Il do not know whether or not this
game will be won by a large score,
What want in this first game is just
the game. The next game we viii
