While there was no question OF a
championship involved. the game yes
terday in the high school foot ball ser
les between Business and Eastern de-
veloped about as interesting contest
as has been played. Both elevens dis
played Door tactics. and the blocking
on the offense was rather mediocre. but
there was something about the contest
which attracted more than the ordi-
nary struggle between two second-class
school teams.
According to the decision Of the oM-

play was decreed a safety by the Of

Eastern two points needed to produce
a winning margin.

happens thereafter has no influence on
the situation.
1t would not be out of the question
to place the game to the credit of Bust

FOURTEEN TIMES CHEAPER.
Germany Equips 14.3 Soldiers With
Money U. S. Spends on One.

Germany is putting 14.S soldiers into
the field for the same amount of money
which the United States is paying for
a single fighting man. according to cal
cula tions today of government experts.
They said the same general proportion
was true also Of maintaining the
armies in the field. or. in other words
America must raise $14.30 where the
enemy nations raise only 81 for the
purpose of carrying on the war.
The difference was said to be due to
the higher pay of United States soldiers
and the greater cost of supplies in this
country, and the contrast was used as a
text for admonitions that resources
alone would not win the war, but that
strict economy was necessary.
