MEXICO At War IN A MONTH
PRO-ALLY SENTIMENT IN SOUTH
ERN REPUBLIC GROWING,
Mexican General, Called to Account,
Tells German Consul, Imperial Gov
eminent and Kaiser to Go to He'll.

Ell Paso, Tex, July 7:-Since the
pro-Ally campaign in Mexico was
started by Ell Universal in Mexico
City, the sentiment favoring the Allies
has reached Northern Mexico, and dur
ing the past 80 days, we'll defined
movement favoring an open break with
Germany and the alignment of Mexico
on the side of the Allies has developed.
This has been in spite Of the pro-Ger-
man sentiments published in Chihua-
hua City and in other papers believed
to be subsidized by the Germans in
the north.
Gonzales Defies the Kaiser.
A reflection of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement by Gen
eral Francisco Gonzales, acting CON-
mander-in-chief of the northwestern
military zone, with headquarters at
Chihuahua. He was overcharged by
the German firm of Ketelsen & Dege-
tau for some padlocks. The manager
was arrested and placed in the peni-
Tertiary. The German consul made a
demand for his release "in the name
OF the Imperial German government
and the KAISER" according to a Mexi-
can official who was present at the
time.
"Tell the German consul he, the I'm
perial government and the Kaiser may
all go to HE'LL" General Gonzales an
sWered.
War in 80 Days Predicted.
Prominent Mexicans, men in close
touch with the capital, predict Mexico
will declare war on Germany within.
80 days. According to these men all
German money in the Mexico City,
Torreon, Chihuahua City and other
banks will be seized as soon as the
war is declared, thereby giving Mexico
a much needed merchant fleet and all
Germans will either be interned or de.
ported at once, their properties being
confiscated.

FOOTBALL RULES CHANGED.
Multiple Kick Formation and Artificial
Tees Are Barred.

New York. March 21.-New regula-
lions to curb the carrying OF lnstruc-
lions from the side lines and the eliim-
ination Of the field goal from multi
pie kick formation are the outstand-
ing features of the new rules adopted
by the football rules committee for the
1917 season. The committee. at its an
nual session here. instructed the secre-
tary to prepare corrections and addl-
tons to the code to cover the followlne
changes:
A substitute player entering the
game must not speak to any othei
player on the field until after the bal
has been put into play: in case any
change in the positions of players IS
necessary, the incoming substitute
must give information thru the referee
In case the substitute takes the place
of the player giving signals he may
give the signals for the NEXT play, bur
can not speak to any playerNuntil after
the ball is put into play. The penal
ty for a violation of this rule Is the
loss of fifteen yards.
In order that the present rule may
not work hardship considerable lee
way has been given the referee in tn
matter of inflictihg penalties for the
failure of substitute to report to the
game officials before entering the play
The new addition to the code makes Il
discretionary with the referee whethe!
or not the penalty shall be imposed
when the incoming substitute falls e
report but does not interfere with the
play or speak to the players prior tc
the ball being put into play.
It was further ruled that goal from
the field could only be scored by
place kick or Il drop kick. and the fac
was emphasized that a place kick was
made with the ball resting upon the
ground, which would appear to bar the
use Of multiple kick formation as now
in vogue, as the ball Is held suspended
n few inches above the ground wher
kicked. The use OF artificial tees 10!
a kick of at the beginning Of periods
also was barred,
Other changes include the giving oil
the ball to the offended side where
there Is illegal Interference with the
player receiving n forward pass. at the
point where the foul Is committed. In
case the foul Is committed behind the
Soal line the ball goes to the offending
team on the 1-yard line. A penalty
of nye yards will be imposed in the
future for running into the kicker
and fifteen yards and disqualification
for roughing; the penalties to be I'M
posed from the point where the bal
was put into play.

Dubuque, March 81. With more

ISOLATION baseball In Dubuque tms
s,immeY looks certain,
The committee that went out solicit
ing all last week met with few refusais
when they asked for the coin or the
realm. This in spite OF the face that
the weather didn't give the baseball
bug much of a chance TO circulate
around any too freely. Talking base
ball at a time when the ground is COW
cred with three inches of Ice and slush
and with snowflakes in the air Is no
easy task.
But the fact that more than $1,000
was raised in week still stands SUI
preme. 1t shows that Dubuque wants
baseball.
The committee went back to work
bright and early Monday morning ana
they expect to raise another $1,000 or
more this week. If they can pull the
total up to $4,000 by next Saturday
night there will no longer be any ques-
ton about it-Dubuque will be in the
Central association.
The goal the committee hopes to
reach is $4,000. They figure that II
they can bring the total UP to S2,ooo
by the end Of this week that the re-
naming $1,000 will be raised in Jig
time. This may sound funny. nut
here's the idea: How can Dubuque
turn down proposition after more
than onc-half OF the money needed to
swing it has been subscribed?
So far not many persons have oeen
seen but those who have been ap"
preached hae opened their wallets and
produced. With better weather the
committee hopes to do more business
this week because they will be aple 70

will put Dubuque in such shape that
the club can be put thru the entire
season without any more appeals for
help. If there is bad weather, lack oil
interest at certain times or any OF that
kind of stuff there will be q reserve

good and interest in the game doesn

should not be q good wad in the treas
