Big MIX-UP Here IN
TURKEY DAY" GAMES
Meade Officers and Naval Reserves
Playing Conflicting Date With
G. U. and Ambulance Corps.

According to schedule. football
games in the District on Turkey
Day will be run in opposition 10
one another.
Up at the Hilltop Field the George
town University eleven is slated 10
battle the Allentown Ambulance Corps
while the Camp Meade Oficers' team
is scheduled TO battle the Naval Re-
serves from Cape May. at the Amer
ican League lark.
Just how the Army-Navy and Am
bulance Corps can all expect TO ben
eft their athletic funds at the eX-
pense OF the local followers Of the
gridiron sport on this day IL hard
to understand. Georgetown has al
ways been expected TO furnish the
big attraction on this day, and Grad
uate Manager Charlie Cox. this sea-
son, did not overlook good bet when
he obtained the Ambulance Corrs
from Allentown. The eleven from
Pennsylvania is obtaining almost the
entire slice OF the proceeds. while
GEORGETOWN. in furnishing the at
traction, is deriving but very little
financial benefit. This contest has
been arranged for the past six weeks.
and now comes the announcement that
the Meade officers will battle the
Naval E----Tes on the same date.
Both games cannot expect 10 go as
big as they would on dates that
would not conflict and it Is a prob
ability that the game at American
League Park may be switched to the
Saturday after Thanksgiving.
This would be the wise and best
move for the authorities interested
in the games as IL would afford the
boys stationed at Camp Meade a
chance to enjoy their twenty-foUr-
hour leave on Thanksgiving Day and
would no doubt draw extra leave
from the officers at the cantonment
for the battle on Saturday.

New York. Aug 15.-"The pope cau-
not make peace. With all due respect
to his craftsmanship, to his great
moral and religious influence, the pope

his assistance cannot be oversstimat-

Peace will not come until all the
world talks peace The pope can
force discussion of peace. Through
his religious and moral appeals to the
peoples OF the different countries ne
can bring pressure to bear on govern

his holiness cannot compel obstinate
governments to listen Or force slnlS-

OBEY THE LAW
SAYS BLEASE

Columbia, Aug. 15.-F'ormer Gov
ernor Blease is receiving numerous i'll
vitations to make addresses in this
and other states along the line of his
Pomaria, Filbert and Anderson
speeches. His engagements are such
that he has not been able to accept
a good many of these invitations.
In answering an invitation today to
address a mass meeting at which it.
has heretofore been limited by some
that there might be a test Of the draft
law proposed, Mr. Blease made 1t plain
that while he was opposed to the war
and was opposed to the principles Of
conscription, that yet since the coun-
try was now in war, and the draft law
has been enacted, he was squarely Of
the opinion that 1t was up to every
man to DO his duty and to obey the
law.
He said: Fl was and am opposed to
the war. I was and am opposed to
conscription, but since our nation Is in
the war we must not discourage, but
on the contrary we must encourage
every man to do his full duty and to
obey to the letter the law Of his state
and his nation and only along this
line have I spoken or can I speak. All
men have the right to petition con-
gress upon any line that they please,
as is being done. but no one should
ecourage any man not to obey the

along this same line Prof. ". II.
Hand, state high school inspector, has
addressed a letter to various officials
and others conversant with Industrial
conditions asking their opinion as to
the advisa ability of the public schools
OF the state not opening this year un-
til October /, in order to give children
old enough an opportunity during the
month of September to aid in harvest
ing the crop. Commissioner Watson
in reply to Mr.. Hand, has agreed with
the suggestion. Prof. Hands letter Is
as follows:
"Dear Sir: 1t is highly desirable
that every possible pupil be put into
school and kept there during the COM
ing school year. To do 30 is going to
be difficult. Army enlistment, army
draft, the unprecedented demand for
labor, and the volume Of the growing
crops will all make against full at
tendance. Farmers especially are go
ing to need the labor Of their own
children above II years of age TO
house their crops. Parents are not
going to send their children to school
while their crops are wasting in the
fields.
"In your opinion would It be a wise
thing to suggest to the people Of the
state to defer the opening of the
schools until Monday, October /? This
would give the entire month Of Sep
tember toward gathering the early
crops
'aWbuld it avail anything if the peo-
pie would open the daily sessions OF
the schools for six weeks at 8 a. m.
and close them at p. M? This would
give an unbroken period Of three to
four hours each day for such work.
"Many farmers would gladly give
profitable employment to unemployed
boys and girls in nearly all towns.
Would these unemployed give up JOY
riding and moving pictures for such
employment.
Please write me frankly any sug-
gestion you have to make.
Cordially.

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
TemperamentaI Mountain Canary Not
Blamed for Planting Hoofs in Back
of Her Only Friend.

Thinking the animal made mistake
in not knowing whom she was kicking
or it was his fault because he forgot
20 give her the usual chew of tobacco,
Fred Wales of Grass Valley, Cal, who
carried his arm in Il sling for some
time as the result of kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner of fourteen
years for injuring him.
|. The mule is known to every en-
pl0yee of the mine, 450 in all, and
while there is no affection for her
among 449 of them, they all have a
wholesome respect for her in spite of
her contrary disposition. 1t is mine
classic that she kicks the airIipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, it is diff
ferent He has worked with Bessie
for fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal. He excuses her
vagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions of a spoiled child.
1t is merely a matter of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily, but not for long.
In the physicians office he took of
fense at a suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account of her
viciousnesS and rushed to her defense.
at was perhaps my fault; it certain
Iy was not hers. Bessie either did not
know who it was when she kicked or
had forgotten to give her the usual
chew of tobacco. l am willing to take
all the blame"
