DISCARD FOOTBALL
College Athletes Too Busy With Mili- tary Duties to Give Time For Spring Practice.

Spring football practice, which has been a feature at nearly all of the larger colleges for many years, has been crowded off the athletic fields by military training. At Pennsylvania, Franklin Field is taken up so much during the afternoon with military training and baseball practice that there is no room for the football candidates to work, so Coach Bob Folwell has abandoned gridiron drill until next fall.
 There is also another reason why the football coaches do not find it nec- essary to hold Spring practice this year. Nearly every student in the colleges is taking up one sort of ath- letics or another and this general par ticipatlon in sports, together with mii- tary training, has all the students in such fine physical shape that special training in football is not necessary
 Folwell, Penn's coach, is enthusias- tic about the football outlook for next fall Yale, Harvard, and Princeton will take up formal athletics again next Fall says Folwell, and this fact itself will do much to boost the game. Besides, at most of the other colleges the teams will not be much below the standard and there does noI

PROFITABLE FISHING.
Figures Brought to Light by the German

Some idea Of the business of the
poor fishermen off the United States
can be formed by the report of the d.
rect and incidental losses when the Ger
man underseas boat sank the schooner
Robert and Richard off the coast of
Maine. That was the best money max.
er of the Gloucester fishing fleet, valued
at $4,000 and insured for $4,000. The

cites of fish and started the schooner for

American soldiers are standing il
seems, on what was officially classed as
German soil" from 1871 up to the day in
1914 when the French extended their
lines over the crest of the Vosges noun
tains and down into the Rhine valley
between Mulhausen and Colmar All this
territory had been French for centuries.
1t is French in sentiment to-day. When
the French troops pressed forward into
this narrow strip Of Alsace, they were
received with tears of JOY, as their
deliverers, by the people. Tie young
men of the region focked to the French
standard, For time there was talk
of great French offensive by way Of
the Rhine valley, toward Strasbourg and
Carlsruhe. Very likely such an offensive
might have been maintained if the Ger
man rush across Belgium and the defeat
at Mons had not conferred the main effort
of the French armies against the in
Vaders farther north. But the valley Of
the Rhine is well defended, and Alsacc,
after the first onset, classed and still
classes as a quiet sector"
No doubt that is the reason why
American troops who have not yet com.
pleted their training are now assigned
TO 1t. But of one thing we may be sure
THE Americans are among friends in
German Alsace, and their presence
there, after the American work at Can.
tigny and in Beleau wood, will interest
the Germans very much. A few demon
strations of our boys impetuosity in
the upper valley of the Rhine, whether
or not a real offensive were intended
there, would result in the dispatch of al
ditional troops to the region and in some
measure would relieve the pressure on
the main line in the north.
However, the very publicity which al.
tends the stationing of American troops
on the Alsatian front, and their definite
location in the far south by means of
the introduction of the picture of the
Lion of Belfort into the news story, in
dicates that no serious offensive is in
tended. If the demonstration were
strategically important, it would hardly
he advertised by the American and
French commands in this manner. The
completion of the training of the Amer
lean troops is probably the object. Our
line is a fairly far-hung one now, from
the neighborhood of Amiens to that Of
the Swiss frontier Everywhere our
troops are mingled with their French
comrades; and their appearance now
among the stalwart Alsatians Is another
evidence of the completeness Of the blend
of sympathy between two nations.-Bos

THE UNION DRY GOODS COMPANY

since the lst of January with crew Of
% men. The vessel and cargo OF fish
were valued at $4,000, the results Of
two weeks out fishing That means a
schooner earning about $4,000 month
with an original investment of not more
than $4,000 1t foots up to total of
Sls0,O00 a year. Presuming that the
crew gets 100000 of that, or nearly
$4,000 a year each, there is balance
of 100000 on an investment of trifle
more than one-fifth of the earning.
The life of the poor fisherman of the
United States is something handsome
when reduced to cash earnings. That
does not excuse the sinking by the Ger
man submarine, but it may be one of
the reasons why we have to pay so high
for bits of fish to eat in this part of

ANOTHER GORGE
 1T JACKs0NP0RT
White and Black Rivers Were on Standstill Last Night, But Small
 Rise Is Expected Today.

Late last night White river stood at II feet on the local gauge, and was at a standstill, as was Black river al- so, but the former is expected to rise probably two feet today by the break ing of another thirty-foot gorge in the bend of the river at Jacksonport It was reported last night that the gorge was threatening to break at any minute. The gorge would release large volume of water, but not enough to cause serious rise of course, and the water would recede as fast as it accumulated.
 There have been no further losses of boats on White river, according to river men. There has been but one boat sunk since the river became fro zen, the boat lost being the City of Muskogee near Clarendon Thursday.

The Neu WdD 10 Use Sleep
 ing Car Berth

Imagine yoursel sitting up in a chair car all night because you couldn't get berth in the sleeping car and then find out that three whole sec tions in the Pullman to the rear had been used as the resting place for tllfga suitcases of whiskey. Wouldn't you cuss, and would you feel entitled to a share of the confiscatory pro- gram? That's what happened to a man who came out of St. Louis Friday night and found out at Hoxie that he had missed some rare rest by reason of three sections of a Pullman on Missouri Pacific Passenger train No. 5 being lawlessly occupied, ac- cording to s. Heinemann, who reach ed home yesterday on No. 5 from St. Louis. MT. Heinemann was not the man who sat up all night, nor did he buy more space than he occupied, but he witnessed the raid made by the officers at Hoxie, where the car was entered and the berths raided.
 Who had purchased the berths and placed the whiskey in them could not be learned, Mir. Heinemann said.
