M. S. VICTORY
Defeated Burlington High School, 10 to
0, at Burlington.


Burlington, Oct. 4.-Montpelier sem,
inary's heavy team defeated Burlington
high school yesterday afternoon on Cen.
tennial field by straight, hard football
Early in the game they got the jump on
the local players and crossed the goal
line for a touchdown in the first quar-
ter after long gains through the center OF
the line. Burlington stiffened and did
her best to tie the score, but the Mont
pelier line broke through constantly and
threw the runner for losses
In the second half Burlington received
and ran the ball back to the 30-yard
line, and then won two first downs
Soon, however, her line slowed up, and
Montpelier kept the ball except for short
recesses up to the middle of the fourth
quarter. Then Hatch dropped a pretty
dropkick over the goal from the 25-yard
line. After this Burlington began to
march up the field, and with one inter
ruption reached their opponents 30-yard
line, when time was called. The lineup:

Ample Supplies Of ,Amn,unitiOn
 Had in Germany

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 4.-Fears that Germany might possibly be unable to continue fighting owing to lack of raw materials have been answered by Ma jor General Schuech, the new minister of munitions, who according to a dis patch from eBrlin says:
 Regarding the supply of raw ma ter ials, particularly those required TOT guns and munitions we are not depend ent solely on the stock in hand, which however, would be insufficient. We have to produce them and this produc- ton is proceeding satisfactorily"
 General Schuech admitted that pro duction was interrupted temporarily last year because of transport difficult ties. Although these seem to have been overcome, the minister of muni- tions expects a probable recurrence the coming winter.

Interesting Sea Battle Staged In the Adriatic. One Italian Vessel Wards Off Hoard of Attackers.
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Details of the Italian cruiser Aquila's fight in the Adriatic with Austrian airplanes, destroyers and cruisers, reaching here from Rome, add to yesterdays account a thrilling story of how the gallant Italian ship, while fighting a fire in her own hold, drove oif the destroy. CTS, was bombed by the hydro-aero- planes and single-handed engaged three Austrian cruisers until help came up. and then safely got to port under her own steam.
 Ordered to Attack
 The Italian naval commanders, hay ing learned a number of Austrian ships were moving along the eastern shore of the Adriatic, ordered a squad of Italian destroyers to attack This squadron was preceded by the Italina light cruiser Aquila. The Aquila put on full speed and attacked the de- stroyers. seriously damaging both of them. Just as it appeared the Aus trian vessels would be obliged to sue cumb, fire broke out aboard the Aquila, which compelled the vessel to suspend the engagement while efforts were made to subdue the flames.
 Airplanes Attack
 In the meantime the two Austrian destroyers succeeded in escaping, find ing refuge in the port of Durazzo, and  a large number of Austrian hydro aerplanes were seen advancing. They soon surrounded the Aquila and began to drop bombs on her, causing some damage and killing some of the crew.
 Cruisers Next
 The crew had succeeded in extin- gushing the fire aboard the Aquila and attacked the aircraft vigorously forcing them to withdraw The hydro aeproplanes, however, disappeared only to give place to three big Aus trian cruisers, the Aida, the Navarro and Aasparan. Without hesitation the commander of the AQuila engaged all three ships, meanwhile calling to his assistance some Italian destroyers cruising in the direction of DuraZzo Very soon the destroyers came up, supported by some English craft. of the same type, and the three Aus trian cruisers withdrew precipitately, one of them, the Nayarra, severely damaged.

Printing Bureau Directors LeaUe
 for Better Post
(By Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bureau of en- graving and printing which makes the entire output of the governments pa per currency and stamps, has resigned to become president of the United States Intaglio Company, new bank note concern.
 MT Ralph's salary in his new posi- tion will be far larger than the S6,000 a year paid him by the government. He has been in office since his appoint ment during the Roosevelt administra- tion ten years ago and in that time has seen the activities of his bureau increase many fold. Besides install ling improved machinery, he has sue ceeded in having the plant set up in a new building regarded as a model for industrial establishments.
 It is understood that Frank E. Fer guson, now assistant director, probably will be placed in charge of the bureau. MT. Ralph will remain until the ap- pointment is made.
 My resignation was given MT. Me Adoo abou: a week ago." MT. Ralph said tonight. Tt has nothing what ever to do with the investigation the departmental committee is conducting into the bureaus affairs, and has not been accepted, so far as l know. am anxious to hear about what action has been taken and assume that Secre- tary McAdoo will make a statement when he disposes of it."
 The administration of the bureau has been under investigation by com mittee headed by Assistant Secretary Crosby for several months. The in vestigation originated from charges made by Representative Jeanette Ran kin of Montana, that Mir Ralph was overworking the women employees there. A report made to Secretary Me Adoo some time ago has not been made public.

Red Cross form, Big Procession
 M Eastern City
tBy Review Leased wire.o

NEW YORK, Oct 4.-Fifth avenue, which has echoed the tread of many marching feet through tempests of cheers since America shouldered arms, paid homage today to the nations her oines-the nurses of the Red Cross.
 Lines Of Relief. It was the first great parade of the American Red Cross and although the 20 ,000 marching women, young and middle-aged, did not present a martial appearance they marched amazingly well. They appeared as representa- tives of the first, second and third lines of relief back of the battle line, l enlisted to serve and to succor the ma tion's fighting men. The hundreds of thousands who had gathered to do them honor paid tribute of respect all the more impressive because it was less boisterous than that accorded the regiments which have swung down the avenue on their way to training camps.
 Many Uniforms.
 It was a colorful procession which stretched from Central Park to Wash ington Square and took two hours to pass the reviewing stand at the public library. Heading the line in their trim travel uniforms of dark blue were the nurses who have been mobiliZed here under orders to sail for France. Back of them came another division in gray crepe uniforms, made up of those awaiting orders. Another detachment wore rubber slickers for service in rough weather. Others wore dark blue ulsters and still others blue serge dresses with military caps thrown fact( spectators saw every type of uni form known to the healing branch of he service.
 Hospitals Represented.
 Back of the nurses who are to see active service, marched delegations from every hospital in the five bor- oughs of New York and then followed the women who compose scores of chapters of the Red Cross and who represent lines of relief activity. Ban ners they carried appealed for re- cruits and support.
 Ambulance Units.
 Several base hospital units were in line with stretcher bearers and ambu- lances-grim reminders of the work that is to come. Many of the ambu- iances were driven by women, as were motor emergency kitchens. One of the motor service units represented the District of Columbia. At the head of this division marched Mrs. Jose phine Daniels, wife of the secretary of the navy.
 Many of the marchers carried ser vice flags denoting that sons or hus- bands are in the service of their coun-' try As these flags passed the review ing stand they were saluted by Sec retary Daniels, Surgeon-General Cor gas, Governor Edge of New. Jersey and Major-General Hoyle, commander of the department of the east, almost as punctiliously as were the Stars and stripes when they went by at the head of each division.
 Marching at the head of the proces- sion were Henry ?. Davidson, chair man of the Red Cross war council, and several of his aides.

 Allies Success
Continued From Page One.)

the British front, some military ob. servers here have become convinced that the Teutons weie covering a great withdrawal If their line Other officers, however, believe that the Ger. man high command has been hurling its men at the enemy with the desire to check an advance. determined to hold it's present lines at any cost un. til winter comes to their rescue.
 One Opinion.
 Officers who think the German ac- tivity has covered a withdrawal to shorten and strengthen the lines and ease the strain on the army. expect that behind the German divisions, through which General Haig's men were cutting their way today, will be found in new positions, fully manned and strongly built against which the offensive will crash.
 Spirit Shattered.
 Some observers here believe the German army spirit generally is badly shattered. In support of this they cite the continual peace cry in Ger many; the expressions Of prisoners captured by the allies; the youth of prisoners and the repeated failures of German attacks during the last few weeks to make any impressions on the British and French fronts.
 Allies Morale Better.
 In view of these developments, of ficers believe a definite ascendancy has been established by the allies in the morale of their armies. They rs- gard that condition as forecasting complete victory although none are willing to venture a prediction as to when the German collapse may come
 Object of Attack.
 There have been indications that the allied commanders have been in tent on the destruction of the morale of the German soldier as much as on forcing their way forward in recent battles. The lavish expenditure of ar tillery ammunition in which they have engaged steadily for months may have been designed largely to shake the nerves of the men among whom the shells were falling day and night The results of today's drive, some officers believe, may prove clearly that the demonstrated preponderance of allied artillery, shown repeatedly to the men of both armies, has served not only O hearten the men of the British and French armies and instill into them confidence in the final outcome of he war. but has equally served to de press and make doubtful the rank and ile Of the Germans.
 Open Fighting Possible.
 There are many observers, also. who believe that with the Germans breed back out of the more rugged country, the fighting may assume a more open character next spring. Tn ,he wide level lands into which the battle lines are being carried, there is not strong natural positions. Sand bags must replace ridges and concrete and steel the hills that have made possible the small forts which have held up many a charge heretofore.
 Coupled with htis goes the. sugges- ton that real strategic operations may become possible next year for the first time since the armies dug in after the retreat from the Marne. Spring may see gigantic movements set afoOt to break the deadlock of trench warfare. Whether combined land and sea assault on the exposed flank of the German line might be included no officer would predict.

Congressman Rainey will Ask
Them to Cooperate In Sc
curing Larger Loaf.
MIXED FLOUR is URGED
Claims That Retail Bakers of
Country Are In. Favor of
Lifting Tax.

Housewives throughout the United
States win be asked by Congressman
Rainey to cooperate with him in
bringing about loaf OF bread weigh
ing sixteen ounces at a cost OF 5
cents
Congressman Rainey believes that
n the housewives or the country de-
mand the kind OF bread that can be
produced IN this quantity for this
priee. and II they, agree to purchase
II the sixteen-ounce l6af will make its
appearance.
The. loaf CONGRESSMAN Rainey is
thinking about Is not made entirely
Of wheat -four. but OF mixture OF
so per cent wheat -four and 20 per
cent corn Hour. He says this n as
wholesome, nutritious and palatable
as bread made entirely OF wheat flour
but can be produced 80. much cheaper
as to provide pound Tor a nickel.
Net Used BY Bskers.
This mixed flour is not used by
bakers today because Of q tax OF 4
cents barrel placed upon it by the
internal revenue Office
The mspufacture Of mixed four Is
subject to the same Inspection and re-
strictions as the making OF whisky;
Congressman Rainey says. and eacik
barrel or fraction of g, barrel must
bear a stamp which must be can
celed just like the stamp on a cigar
box.
Congressman Rainey has a bill
pending in Congress providing fors
the repeal OF the tax on mixed flour
The tax was first fixed by the United
States Government during the Span
war to raise revenues
and keep the war chest well stocked
with money. This is Che only tax i'm
posed in 1898 that has not been re-
pealed. the Congressman says
Bakers Would Adept II.
He believes the lifting or the tax
on mixed -four and removal Of restric-
tions and inspections now governing
its use would cause thousands. OF re-
tail bakers throughout the United
States to adopt it in the manufacture
Of bread. In so doing he says. they
could give a full pound to the loaf
and maintain a price of cents. Re
peal of the tax would open the -four
market to 6O,OOO.O00 bushels of corn
every year. according to Mr.. Rainey.
