 scbedulc-Ca Cancellation. Must. Come
 From Opponents. West Point, N. Y.. April 4.--A dec
 laration of war will not materially af- fact Army sports, it was said here yesterday. The Cadets have just launched their baseball season and
 have twenty-odd games remaining on their schedule. If there Is any hitch in the regularly arranged program 1t
 must tome from the Army's expectant
 opponents. '.'*
 Army folks say the war game is
 no new things to them, and sports are
 the soldiers only diversion. The ten-
 his schedule, which this year includes several outside college teams, will go on as usual. ,@...,. =. In case any of the Army's prospec- tive opponents give up sports and cancel their scheduled game because of the war the Cadets will endeavor to schedule other teams to take their places. .. n...
 An early graduation of the first class, which has been decided upon, will take but one regular from the Army's baseball squad. Gerhardt, third baseman and captain, is the only first class man who will graduate. Of course, the football season Is so far off nothing definite can be said of the gridiron game, but it is doubt full if the soldiers will alter their plans materially, Just now the West Pointers drill on..: every day in the week except Saturday and Sunday but they also manage to find time to squeeze baseball game in on Wednes- day afternoons.
 At the conclusion of the baseball season, which is short the Cadets get down to their hardest practical work ! in the war game and keep it up all l summer, so the hrief time permitted for competition in f.sporting events with other colleges is we'll deserved.

There is at least one petty thief in

This was evidenced by a theft from

fruit which they found on the pantry
shelf, devoured a box of crackers and
wound up their celebration by walk

graph belonging to Mr.. Waters son
Delmar. The intruder, or intruders,
as the case may be, scattered several
records over the floor, and this was
what first attracted the attention of
the man of the house.
Mr. Waters is of the opinion that
the work was done by children, for
the finger prints on a chair, (Joe has

marks of children. Joe says he does
MT care about the crackers and Jam
but he would like to have the phono-
graph returned. He is offering sub

will lead to the recovery of the music

THREE ROUNDED UP
AND BOOZE TAKEN

There are three young men from
Spokane in the county Jail today as
a result of raid made on their
rooms in a local hotel this week. A
large quantity of liquor was found In
their possession and taken in charge
by Sheriff McDuffee and deputy Wal
ter Cason.
The men are Will H., Frank and
H. A. lyser, all brothers. No charge
has'yet been placed against the young
men, but the authorities have strong
evidence that the liquor was being
sold to local consumers. A fourth
party to the deal is said to have
"squealed' on the bunch. There
seems to be woman in the case, ac-
cording to Sheriff McDuffee. The
three brothers had attempted to put
block In the fourth members wheel
of love and he got even by "spilling
the BEANS"
There was evidence of some hard
liquor going the rounds last Satur
day and this may be what led to an
investigation by the officials.
Reports from Spokane state that
the three men are wanted there by
draft officials.
