STEAMSHIP SOCOA
SUNK LAST AUGUST

New York, Jan. 27.-Rumors that
the French steamship Socoa, last re-
ported as leaving Cardiff on August
16 for an unstated port, had been
lost were confirmed here today by
Captain Y. Beridam, master Of the
French Line steamer Ohio, from
Cardiff, who said the Socoa was tor
pedoed by a German. submarine in
the Mediterranean on August rs,
1916. Captain Berdam was master
of the Socoa when she was sunk.
The torpedoing Of the Socoa, he
added, was his second experience OF
losing a ship in this manner. The
first time, he said, was when the
French collier Antoine was torpedoed
in the same water on October 8, 1916
The Socoa was q vessel Of 2,772
tons register, built in 1913.

those time honored principles 80
long and so happily a part Of our
own policies"
There was no debate on the reso-
luton but after its Introduction
Democratic members of the foreign
relations committee, went into H.
formal conference and made plans
TO forestall discussion of the matter
on the floor before the committee has
considered it. The Democrats IN
sisted that the president had propos-
ed no departure from national ira
ditions, and that there is nothing IN
the resolution to reflect on his ut-
terances. Some leaders even pre-
dicted that if the resolution came to
a vote every Democrat would sup
port it; but they declared discussion
at this time would be futile and
needlessly would disrupt senate busl-
ness.
Both Seem Uncertain.
Senator Borah, in presenting the
resolution, asked that it 60 over for
a day but he did not reveal whether
he would make an effort to call 1t up
tomorrow. Senator Cummins also
declined to say whether he would
press at tomorrow's session his reso-
luton setting aside next week for
debate on the presidents address.
In a long preamble the Borah res
olution quotes Washington's declara-
ton in his farewell address that lit
must be unwise in US to impicate
ourselves by artificial ties" in the
affairs of the old world; a letter writ
ten by Jefferson declaring that "our
first and fundamental maxim should
be never to entangle ourselves in the
broils of Europe" and Monroe's his
toric message to congress, laying
down the doctrine Of America for
Americans. The resolution then
says:
"Whereas, the policies thus early
announced by Washington, Jefferson
and Monroe and ever since adhered
to by this country regardless Of pol
itical parties, have contributed grea;-
ly to the peace and happiness of the

PROPHECY OF MY CLASS,
TEN YEARS HENCE
(By Annie L. Roche, 3rd Grade, Alb
neville Graded School.)

(By Annie l.. Roche, 3rd Grade, AD-
beville Graded School.)
In May, 1911 our grade finished.
The graduating class consisted OF
Louise McDill, Annie Hill, Caroline
Gary. Margaret Reese, Edith Leach,
Marie Barnett, Roy Miller, Frank
Harrison and Rufus Wysong. Our
trade had become much smaller
Since 1904. A number of boys had
stopped to work.
The honor graduate of my class
was Louise McDill. After I had
graduated at the Abbeville Graded
School I spent three years in Wash
ington. D. C. While in Washington
I met Edith Leach. We had very
pleasant chat, she told me some
things about her work in the hospl-
tails. l went out to Arlington to
spend the day and met one of my
old friends, Fred Simmons. He was
the conductor on one of the electric
cars.
Roy Miller, Frank Harrison and
Charlie Brown were studying law
while I was in Washington.
Judge and Mrs. Gary were spend.
ing the winter in Washington and
I was awfully glad to meet Caroline
Gary at one of the Presidents re-
ceptions. One day I was in the
capital and saw one Of my friends,
Annie Hill. She was teaching music
in Baltimore and had come over to
spend the day. She told me that
Louise McDill was teaching school
in Philadelphia, but she was going
to give it up and get married in
June to a very rich man in New
York. After finishing my school
work I found I had to make some
money, so I went to sell books.

I ability this season with a powerful of fense and defense and it is not at all certain that the invaders can win un- less their defense is fully equal to their reputed offensive play.
 West Virginia is undoubtedly one of the leading southern eleVens of the season but its record does not indi- cate that it is invincible. Both Pitts | burgh and Dartmouth have already de- feated the combination from Morgan town but whether Rutgers can dulpi- cate this feat remains to be seen. Pittsburgh defeated Syracuse 2S to 0 0 and while comparative scores are not always a reliable working basis the figures are of interest at this time. The southern eleven possesses a ter | rife line plunging and fast end-run- ming backheld, protected by a heavy line of forwards. Rutgers will need to be at it's best to hold the visitors in check while scoring. if the home com bination is to win.
 A third game of the day which. al- though lacking intersctional feature, promises to be one of the best of the afternoon, is that to be played at Providence between Brown and Syra- cuse. The Brunonians have vet to be
 deteated and their victory over Col
 as one of the best in the east Syra- cuse Is represented by one of the strongest elevens which has worn the
 Orange in several years and, aside
 from Its loss of the Pittsburgh game,

 can be judged in advance there is lit

 the two teams and the game should
 result in close hard fought strug-
 gle.

 nclent to warrant exaggerated hopes
 of victory unless the home teams play

A REDSKIN VICTORY.
How Carlisle ScaIped the Mighty Har-
 yard by Superior Strategy.

Of all the strange and spectacular football plays ever pulled off, that of a crafty and willy Indian in a Harvard Carlisle game II years ago, Oct. 31 1903, probably takes the cake. At the beginning of the second half the red skinn had 50 lead. Harvard started tie action by a long kick to Johnson on the Indian teams five yard line. Johnson immediately became the cen ter of a mass of struggling aborigines. Suddenly they separated and scattered ir all directions, Dillon running straight down the field, holding both arms up, so that the Crimson players could see that he didn't have the ball. and gave a good imitation of a bunch of beheaded chickens while they searched vainly for the man with the tall. Dillon passed straight through the Crimson bunch until he confronted Captain Carl Marshall of the Grim sons, who was covering deep backfield. Marshall sidestepped, but as he did so he observed a big bulge on the Indians hack. Suspicion turned to certainty in Marshalrs mind in the fraction of a second, but he was too late. Dillon had made a full field run from kick oft to touchdown without opposition. Dillon's jersey lad been constructed with this end in view, and the whole pay had been carefully planned in ad- vance, and worked out exactly accord ing to schedule. Redskin craft had proved superior to paleface strategy.

Victrola Parlors Second Floor

Harry Parrott of Newburgh, one or the most versatile athletes at the In stitute, shifted from end to halfback. seems to have found his place, for he he is proving a remarkable distance gainer and the most skilled man on the squad in the use of the straight arm. Dick Shankey, the freshman quarterback from Haverstraw, has sreed and fighting grit, reminiscent of his older brother, and not only made good in running the team but scored a touchdown in his first var sity game. In fact, three of the four quarterbacks tried last week, Captain Robertson, Shankey and Foster. fig ured in touchdowns against St. Law renee. Phil" Sweet of Buffalo the team's chief punter, and Jacob Frank of Newark. N. J., ends, are showing nuch speed and skill in breaking the interference. Merton the big fullback, and a terrific hne-plunger, has solved the problem in the teams weak spot. Jim" Voorhies, the Dewitt Clinton High school boy of Brooklyn, and John H. Bartz of Erie, Pa, both green at the game this year. have developed into fine guards. Babe" Lawes of Utica. who made the record distance run in collegiate football last season, al halfback and Jack, Richards of Dover, N. J., centre, are among the few veterans of the squad Wesley A. Armstrong of Buffalo and McCleiland as tackles complete the varsity line- ur of the Rensselaer, team as it will probably take the field against Hobart tomorrow.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STEADY.
Result of Order Restricting SpecuIa-
 tive Operations.

New York, Nov. 2.-An extratordin- ary change came oyer the stock mar ket today in consequence of the string ent measures adopted by the authori. ties of that institution to restrict spec ulative operations as far as possible
 Instead of the hysterical selling and acute depression of the previous ses- sion. prices opened at gains of 3 to 5 points among leaders on trading of the most orderly character. These gains were substantially reduced in the final hour on the weakness of cop pers and some of the inactive rails nut for the most part net advances prevailed
 Rails displayed less strength than the seasoned industria1s. their recov- cry being retarded by the publication of additional September statements of earnings These were disappointing as a whole and distinctly unfavora ble to such important systems as New York Central and Reading.
 United States Steel cfened at a maximum rally of 5-s to aS 1-2. That proved to be the highest quotation of the day, the stock subsequently, de- clining to 95 1-4, but closing a noint above that figure, a net gain of ? 3-8.
 Other equipments. including sundry war shares and shippings. were tenn porarily higher by to points, but in a majority of instances gross gains amounted to s5o,ooo shares.
 Russian government bonds on the curb and Italian exchange recorded their greatest depreciation since the war, but both rallied sharply later Sensational advances in exchange on the Scandinavian capitals were asso- ciated with sales of our stocks for those countries.
 Weakness of representative bonds was the most depressing feature of the session. Liberty As held at par with sales of the 3 1-2's at 99.74 to 99.S2 Total bond salcc (par value) aggre- gated $5,625. 900.
