A trip through the hospital zone

American surgeons are still pick
ing the broken fragments from the
faces, eyes and heads Of hundreds,
many Of whom may be marked for
life or blind. At Bellevue hospital
surgeons took stock today and found
that glass wounds predominated.
The situation of the injured is
the best possible, the general COM
mittee has announced, and the task
OF reconstruction is going forward
in a manner which would indicate
that in a little while Halifax will be
in large part restored.
Major Harold G. Giddings Of Bos.

persons in the outlying area were
hurt by glass large number were
injured by fragments Of steel hurled
over the city from the docks and

We do not think that the senti-

1t Is for the United States to un-

There is no good reason for think

board drew up the following princi-
pies Of organization:
THE demand for certain food
com1eodities by army, navy, neutrals
allies and civil population is greater
than the supply Of such commodities.
"Ont of the fundamental purposes
of the food administration is to pro-
tect these groups from exorbitant
prices.
THE shortage Of supplies and the
aggregation of buying in such large
units has effectually suspended the
law of supply and demand as an eff
fectual regulator of fair prices and
stimulates speculation.
1T Is considered that it is vital to
the general welfare that these large
purchases in certain commodities
shall be made by plans of ALLEGATION
among sellers at fair and Just prices
The federal trade commissions eff
forts are to be directed to see that
cost statements are not inflated"
The food purchase board will first
decide what commodities are to be
bought under the plan of ALLEGATION
then call into conference the trades
concerned. After a plan of purchase
is agreed on the board will turn to
the federal trade commission for q
determination of the cost of produc-
ing the commodity and then the
board will recommend a price.

Colleges Take Up Plans
For Big Athletic Meet

New York, Dec. 5.-Requests for an
expression of opinion regarding the
advisability OF holding both the in
door and outdoor intercollegiate
track and field championships during
1918 have been made to the officers
and advisory members of the Inter-
collegiate Amateur Athletic Associa-
tion. Letters asking information as
to the sentiment in this direction
were sent out to-day by Romeyn
Berry, of the I. c. A. A. A. Advisory
Committee, in order that the organ
ization might have ample time to de-
eide its attitude in advance of the
annual meeting to be held March 2.
The constitution of the association
makes no provision for the cancella-
tion of these annual meets, but this
barrier was overcome last spring by
the unofficial request that no entries
be made to the outdoor champion
ships As there appears to be a grow
ing sentiment in favor of the restora-
ton of the games in certain collie
giate centers it has been decided to
ascertain the general feeling among
the twenty odd colleges forming the
organization.

Former Football Star
Is Near Deaths Door

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Walter Eckersall.
former football star of the University
of Chicago, was said to be near death
in st. Luke's Hospital to-day. He
was taken to that institution last
night and is believed to be suffering
from cancer of the stomach.
Eckersall is conceded to have been
the greatest quarterback of all time.
Walter Camp put him on his ALL
American selections two years run
ming and gave him a place on his
"All-American team for all time"
"Eckie" held the indoor record for
the 5O-yard dash. and. due to his
speed. fast starting and lodging. he
was the most dangerous open field
runner the game ever produced.
Weighing only 14S pounds, he was a
great defensive player and skilled in
blocking. His consistent spiral punts
of fifty yards and over were a fea-
ture of every game in which he
played.
He excelled, however, as a drop
kicker. In a contest against Wis
consin he booted three goals from
field, which won the game in spite of
two touchdowns earned by opponents.
Against University of Illinois he
kicked five goals from field, which is
the record number of kicks in any
major contest.

Tigers Have Big Games;
Fifteen on Schedule

Princeton, n. j., Dec. 5.-A sched-
ule of fifteen games has been drawn
up for the Tiger basketball five this
winter, and has received the official
approval of the board of athletic
control. Only five of the contests
will be staged in Princeton.
Coach Luehring has a difficult task
ahead of him to turn out team
which will rank favorably with the
Tiger five of the past few years, as
there is not man in college who
has played regularly on a varsity
team. There is considerable prom
ising material from last years fresh
man five, and the scrub organiZa-
gree of team play has been reached
thus far than has marked the play
of any of the recent Princeton fives
for so early in the season.
The first league game comes, De-
cember Is with Columbia, at Prince
ton. The schedule follows: Decem-
ber 8, G. c. n. Y. at New York;
December 10, Columbia at Princeton;

Chicago. Dec. 5.-President Ban
Johnson, of the American League,
and Garry Hermann, of Cincinnati,
representing the National. found too
many problems to solve at their con-
ference to-day and decided to call
for help. AS a consequence there will
be a joint meeting of the American
and National owners in Chicago, De-
cember 13. At this conference the
two organizations will agree on a
program for next year.
President Johnson was not keen
for the joint meeting, but Mr.. Herr
mann argued that an exchange of
ideas would put the game on a firmer
basis for next season. The National
League meeting is scheduled for New
York, December IL and the Ameri-
can gathering here December 70.
The owners in the older circuit, with
President Tener, will leave New
York on the afternoon of the 18th
and will reach here the following
morning.
a joint conference was deemed
necessary when Johnson and Herr
mann were unable to agree on sew

policies, including the playing sched-

Fitzsimmons Died Poor; /
Went Through Fortune

New York. Dec. 5.-Improvidence
seems to be the'rule among boxers,
most of whom will not,lay aside any,
thing for rainy day. When Bob
Fitzsimmons died, recently, he left
nothing in money or property. Yet
he earned a fortune in the ring. He
settled a house and many thousands
of dollars on his second wife, Rose
Julian, and her children.
He received $4,000 from his two
battles with Maher, $4,000 from his
bout with Hall, about $4,000 from
his scrap with Corbett at Carson
City, $4,000 for whipping Dan, Cree
don, SIS, 600 for two bouts with Tom
Sharkey, 100000 for two battles with
Jeffries, $4,000 for the contest with
Gus Rubin and many thousands
more for other ring exhibitions.
In all it is estimated that Fitz
made $250,000 in the ring, besides
which he received about $4,000
from moving pictures of his fights.
