PASSAGE FOR FOREIGN TROOPS

As one Of the results of the entrance of the United
States into the war permission has been granted for the
passage Of Canadian soldiers through the territory of the
United States. To facilitate the transport of these troops
toward tho front they are now permitted to pass through
Minnesota and through Maine, in each case from one
Canadian point to another.
This could not have been done while a state of peace
existed between tho United States and Germany. To
grant such permission would have been a direct viola
ton OF neutrality identical in character with that Of
granting permission to the war vessels of belhgerent
powers to use our ports as the bases Of military opera
tons
With a state Of war existing the United States Is
no longer a neutral as between Germany and her enc
mics 1t is our right and our duty to cooperate to the
extent of our ability with the nations at war with Ger
many, and to render them all the assistance in our pow
er. We and the entente powers are now at war with a
common enemy, and the closer Is the cooperation among
these nations, the better.
Armed and uniformed British troops have passed
through the territory Of the United States on only a few
occasions since the war OF 1872. AS the facts are now
out such an incident, Then, in 1885, during the second
Riel rebellion, permission was given for Canadian troops
to pass through American territory on their way to the
northwest Then, a few years later, when the seth bat
talon, of Winnipeg, wished to visit Grand Forks on its
annual outing, permission was granted by the American
government for the visit of this fine body Of men armed
and uniformed. This was the first of several visits of
like character, and q good many warm friendships were
made in consequence. The personnel OF the Goth hat
TALON has changed materially, OF course, in the interview
ing years, but Of the battalion as it was constituted at
the beginning Of the war only a few are left. These
men were among the first to go to the front from this
side, and death played havoc with them. .

The majority of the University of Ala bana football team remained in Bir- mingham yesterday, while few returned to Tuscaloosa to resume their studies Monday. The Crimson outfit held their final meeting Thursday night at tho TutwileP hotel, when a dinner was given in honor Of the squad
 Da1nel Boone, the plucky little right end, was named captain of the 1918 az gregatiCn at this meeting. Boones se- lection sI leader was unanimous, every vote being cast for the injured star, who will be playing his fourth season on the Alabama varsity eleven.
 Although followers of the Crimson were not greatly pleased with the show ing of the team during the season, the year is regarded as a success Only one college team scored a victory over the Crimson-that being Vanderbilt-while one m-Sewanee-held the Crimson to a tie
 The defeat at the hands of the Caemp Gordon outfit Thursday, is not regarded as a ground for grief, as the Crimson was terribly outclassed and made a gal lant sand against such great odds
 Thursday also marked the competitor Of Coach Kelly's contract with the Grim son. He will not coach the remaining athletics at the University, but will re- turn to lead the gridiron squad again next yeas in case contract is offered.

to the place where another such as he may be found.
 ROWDYISM ALSO GOES There has been a successful fight waged upon rowdyism in the association during the past season and the result was that knock-down and drag-out tac- I-tics which have featured as well as marred pennant races in the Southern during past years have about been elim- mated President Baugh is in the main responsible for this change, he having inaugurated the plan of the automatic fine of S10 being applied to every ball player who was banished from the game at any time. From the very beginning of this plan there was a noticeable de- crease in rough-housing and ball players who had been in the habit of relieving themselves of all varieties of epithets when an umpire's decision failed to meet with their approval soon discovered that it was trifle too costly to kick, so 1t died natural death. Not that there were no protests over decisions, for there were and always will be as long as baseball endufes, but there was no- ticeable absence of paths directed at um- pires, of bat throwing and other unlady- like actions.
 The magnates of the Southern, with one exception, stood squarey behind President Baugh in his campaign, and only in one city, Chattanooga, did the club owners pay the fines of their play CTS. In Chattanooga, where Kid Fiber
 field, the hot potato of the Southern, held
 sway, the club owners many times do-
 mated toward Elberfeld's fines, for he
 was banished so many times that he
 would have been in debt at the end of
 each first and fifteenth had he been
 forced to pay out of his own roll. But
 with this exception the club owners ral-
 lied around President Baugh in his ef-
 forts to throttle the menace of rowdy
 baseball, and fans of the Dixie major
 may now go to the parks with the as-
 surance that there will be no disgraceful
 scenes, bottle throwing and other hurt
 ful practices. Also, it is safe for ladies
 to attend the games, for the profanity
 which formerly was used indiscrimi
 nately by illiterate players regardless of how close they might be to~the stands
 and of who was in earshot, has gone
 where the lion roareth and the whang-
 doodle mourneth for it's first born. It
 is heard no more.
 Baseball is going to endure in this sec
 tion of the horsehide fir1namen% and the
 example which is being set by the South
 ern associa tion which embraces co-oper-
 ation and everybody working to the
 common end of the leagues success is
 well worthy of emulation everywhere,
 and if followed would sweep discord,
 financiel reverses, petty politics and
 other harmful blots from the state of
 many a struggling baseball Russia.

DECATUR

| Decatur, November 30.-(Special) )-The
 Morgan County High School boys of 1 Hartselle met the High school boys or
 Moulton on the gridiron here yesterday afternoon. The score was, Hartsele 1s, | Moulton 0.
 l Besides large local attendance there was a large attendance of boosters from both Moulton and Hartselle present at the game. It was one of the most ex- citing games of the season. There is much enthusiasm here over the location of the big nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals. Yesterday Congressman Ed B. Almon and Judge Joseph H. Nathan of Shelf field, were here in the interest of the government in this great work on the Tennessee river. During the recess of Con gross Ee has devoted almost all of his time in securing options for the govern ment On lands along the river which will Le overflowed by the government development of the great water power at Muscle Shoals.
 While here yesterday Judge Almon succeeded in securing options on good deal of iand in Morgan county for the government. For some years he has given much of his time to this work. He says he feels confident of the speedy development of Muscle Shoals by the government.
 It is argued by many that Decatur will reap as much or more, from this developmeyt as will the Tri-Cities of Florence, Sheffield and Tuscumbia. The big powder plants will be built at tha Tri-Cities. Owing to this fact, many factories of different kinds would not want to locate there on account of the danger Of explosions, hence they would come to Decatur.
 With cheaper electric power from the great Muscle Shoals, the trunk lines of railroads entering Decatur and it's location on the Tennessee river will nec- essarily make of Decatur within few years, ore of the greatest manufactur- ihg and wholesale cities in the south.
 The Muscle Shoals Baptist association, of North Alabama. one of the oldest church organization in the south, has just shipped carload of corn, produce and mai.y good things to eat, as well as some clothing to the orphans at the Baptist Orphans Home at Evergreen.
 When the last session of the Muscle Shoals association met, short time ago. a committee wasvsppointed to look after mittee was l.. l. Hearn, John A. Thom- asofl of Decatur. and R. l.. Sherrll and ]. T. Porter of Hartselle, and others ably assisted in the work.
 The Southern Bell Telephone building in Aibany#will be rushed to completion Thirty msA are now at work on the building.
 Tte building will cost $50, coo It will be t5 feet by 79 feet, and two stories high. It will be used as a telephone exchange.
 On December g. the ministers and dea- cons of the Muscle Shoals Baptist asso- citation will meet at Danville, this coun- ty. This will be the first meeting of the new association year.. Secretary l.. l.. Hearn, has mapped out programme of much interest for the meeting.

Coach Bush of Fayee Says His Team Is Championship Aggre gation of A. L A. C.-Alleges Central Dodged Game
 Fayette Is Member of Conference

The crack team of Central High
 school. which went through the past
 campaign undefeated, will not be awarded the state championship with
 out dispute. Yesterday letter was re- oeived from c. c. Bush, coach of the
 Fayette High school, who lays claim to the title for his team Fayettes coach alleges that Central lodged a game and they should be awarded the championship. Central claims that the game with Fayette was not lodged and thus the argument starts.
 Fayette also claims the title on the following grounds: Won every game more points than any other team in the Alabama Interscholastic Athletic conference.
 About the only solution left for the
 teams to settle the problem without argument following for years will be the playing of the contest. This, how
 ever, will not be sanctioned by Cen tral authorities. The letter of Coach Bush follows: To the Sporting Editor of The Age
 Herald:
 Fayette High school football team claims championship of the Alabama Interscholastic association on the fol- lowing grounds: Fayette has not lost a game this season; has scored more points in
 minutes of play than any other team
 in association; has played more games than any member of association claim. ing championship. Several letters were exchanged re- gardtng a game between Fayetta High and NCentral High early in the season. Fayette wanted to play Gen. tral at Fayette and Central wanted to play in Birmingham.
