Fall River Gets
Semi-Final for
Soccer Trophy

AT special meeting Of tho National
Challenge Cup Committee of the Unit
ed States Football Association the prin-
clpal business was the selection of the
ground for playing off the Eastern
semiinal for the National Challenge
Cup. President Thomas Bagnall pre-
sided. Other members present were
Thomas w. Cahill, secretary; Andrew
M. Brown (Bayonne) and Joe Booth
(Bridgeport).
After considering the bid of 1925,
less expenses, from the West Hudsons
TOR Clark's Athletic Field, Newark, the
committee decided to accept the Fall
River Rovers' net guarantee of $500
for the tie to be played at Fall River
on April 13. This was agreed upon for
the benefit of the large crowd who will
see one of the most bitterly contested
cup ties in the annals of soccer foot
ball in America.
In the event of the Fall River Rovers
being successful in their semi-final
against the West Hudsons the final
tie will be played in the New England
district on April 81; but if the West
Hudsons emerge winners the final will
be staged in this district on April %.

On "Wednesday

Fordham and Columbia will meet on
Wednesday afternoon on Fordham
Field in the opening bill of a two
game baseball series. The game will
open Fordham's long home baseball
campaign. Although their ranks were
shattered by cnlistments, both teams
have given every sign Of being repre-

prospects would indicate.
Columbia has already defeated sew
eral strong teams, and Fordham has
shown power in the games played up

therefore, promises to develop keen

and enter the Royal Flyin: Corps.
Carl was centre on the 1921 football
team and goal tender on the hockey

was backstop at St. Marks for three
years, in two of which he captained the
nine.

5OO,OOO TROOPS IN
 FRANCE EARLY IN 1918
MILLION AND HALF MORE FULLY EQUIPPED AND READY TO
 BE TRANSPORTED.

Washington.-Fiv hundred thous- and troops in France early this year and a million and a half more ready to go-fully equipped and with the ar tillery to support them-this was the answer Secretary Baker gave the Sen ate military committee to the charge of efficiency breakdown in the military establishment.
 The startling progress of the war in the development of munitions will be shown, he said, by the fact that weap- ons devised by American experts dur ing the last few months have been discarded. Then taking up a copy of the Metropolitan Magazine from last August, MT. Baker read a protest in it's editorial columns against the sup posed policy of the government to make it's contribution to the financial and industrial; ito hold off until the allies win the war for us...'
 A question brought out that Colonel Roosevelt was then associate editor of the magazine, which urged that "every nerve be strained to get 150,000 to 100000 men to France in 1917.
 T am disclosing no secret" Secre- tary Baker said, pausing, when I say that we exceeded that maximum in 1917"
 As the climax of days explana- tion of all that the military establish ment had done, freely confessing faults and imperfections, in so vast an undertaking, but maintaining that out of each deficiency the remedy has been found, the secretary of war dis closed what hitherto has been regard ed as military secret and what the German people little suspect. This great fighting force, probably little ex- pected by the German general staff itself, will be composed of the men now with General Pershing, the 32 di- visions of troops now in cantonments and camps in the United States and ready to move, Secretary Baker said, and by the next increments to be drawn and trained this spring under the selective service law.
 Elementary equipment of the men from the United States is assured and the artillery necessary to their sup port will come from the British and French governments, which have such an excess of ordnance that they have on their own initiative offered to sup ply the guns and save ships which would be used for their transport.

LICENSE DEALERS| IN
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WILL KEEP CREDITS FROM
 ENEMY USE.
ARE UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL
Brokers Required To Obtain Resistra- tion Certificates From Reserve Bank -Gives u. s. Information of the
 Foreign Money Movement.

Washington. = Foreign exchange transactions announced by Secretary McAdoo are placed strictly under the supervision of the federal reserve board, which will license dealers through federal reserve banks and re eeive reports periodically on each in- dividual purchase or sale. In this way the government seeks to insure that no credits go to assist any enemy inter- ests and to provide a well organized method for feeling the pulse of the foreign exchange traffic.
 The regulations were signed by President Wilson under authority of the espionage and trading with the enemy acts.
 Dealers in foreign exchange or se- eurities for foreign correspondents are required to obtain registration cer- tificates by applying to the federal re- serve banks of the district, and are to be grouped in three classes accord ing to the nature of their business. Customers of these dealers then are to sign a statement for each purchase or sale. showing the purpose and de- claring that no enemy or ally of enc my interest has any connection with the transaction. Tie statements must be filed with the federal reserve banks, together with weekly detailed reports from the foreign exchange dealers.
 "The regulations" says a treasury explanatory statement, will put into the hands of the secretary and the fed eraI reserve board full information as to the manner in which the credit fa- cilities of the United States are being used. Through the power vested in the secretary and the federal reserve board to prohibit any bank or banker in the United States from doing busi- ness with any foreign correspondent suspected of acts incompatible with the interests of the United States, a weapon is furnished to the govern ment which will be used to control any misuse of our credit facilities and which can be yielded with the neces. sary amount of yigor to accomplish the results sought.
 The procedure established has been carefully devised so as to preserve the confidential relation existing between the bank and it's customers, except ill those cases where suspicious point to the adyisability of a detailed exami- nation.'
