PEACE RUMOR

Mexican Pete and U. S
Steel Show Sudden
Gains on News.
BY BROADAN WALL,

New York. Oct. 1s.-Stocks were
wildly excited on the prospect OF
early peace and the market was the
greatest of the year, with new high
record prices in many issues. Mex
lean stocks were the features until
the last few minutes, when L. 5.

with tremendous volume Of trad

moons rise and many specialties re-
sponded to attention paid by pools.
Most peculiar of the days move
ment was that in the so-called war
stocks. In the morning they were
weak, but in the afternoon they join
ed the upward movement as enthu-
siastically as any others. This led
many to believe that peace pros
poets had nothing to do with the
advance at all. but that 1t was en-
gineered for the benefit OF the lib
erty loan.
So rapid has been the advance that

Princeton, N. j., Oct. 1S.-Word has
Just been received at Princeton that
Net CNeilson) Poe, 81, the we'll
known Princeton football star. has re-
ceived four wounds in action and has
been awarded the French War Cross
and the United States Distinguished
Service Cross. The report indicates
that Poe's football experience has
served him in good stead. He was
first scraped across the stomach by
machine gun bullet, but, as a fellow
officer writes, ''the bullet went on its
way and so did Net Then a shell
burst near him and he was hit in
three places by shrapnel. but, we
learn from another source. those old
football legs never failed him, and he
was not knocked off his feet"
His captain was killed in the en-
gagement, and Net" took command.
safely intrenched his men, and re-
mained with them twentyfour hours.
Then he was taken to a hospital. A
letter from a member of his family.
dated Sept. q. says that he was still
incapacitated; but was doing well.
On July 2l Major Redmand c. Stewart
wrote from France TO Edgar Allan
Poe. 81. as follows:
Net went on fighting until he was
hit by shrapnel. one piece going in
one arm below the elbow. another
piece in the other arm below the ell
bow. and another hit him in the back
II talked with the surgeon just as
he had finished operating. He got
out the piece from the arm, but let
the piece in the back stay there;
thought everything was all right and
Net would be absolutely we'll"
At the same time. 1t was learned
that Edgar Allan Poe. jr.. IS. son of
another famous football player of the
same name, was likewise wounded.
The Poes were always noted for their
endurance and staying qualities, and
1t seems to be illustrated in the case
of this youngest member of the
family. In one OF his letters he
writes

Middies Game with Prince

Because of Flu"

Annapolis. Md. Oct. 1S.-Plans of
the Navy football players to launch
the 1918 gridiron campaign tomorrow
were again thwarted late today when
a wire was received from the team OF
the Navy Pay School at Princeton
stating they would be unable to come
to Annapolis for the contest owing to
quarantine restrictions placed on ac-
count of the flu and health conditions
at Princeton.
Efforts are being made by the Navy
management to secure a game with
some other service team near Anna
polls to I'LL the gap, but it is doubt.
full whether they will be successful.
The Middies are naturally -disap-
pointed. as this makes the third game
to be called of. 1t is felt sure the
game arranged with Newport Train
ing Station for next Saturday will be
played. This team is said to number
among its squad se'-eral New England
college players. The Philadelphia Ma
rines are booked for the following
Saturday.
The eleven of St Johns College will
make their bow tomorrow with the
Naval Reserves from Saunders Range
as opponents.

Surgeon General Blue Sees No
Harm in Attending Races.

Surgeon General Blue, in a state
ment to newspaper men Yesterday
said that the best way for the public
to cooperate with the health author
tiles is to keep in the open air and
sunshine, and this has encoura ged
the lover of racing to hope that the
Maryland State board of health will
take the same view, and sanction a
resumption of the sport.
Horsemen are going along with
their charges at Laurel just as if
they were getting ready for the open
ing of new meeting. and the hors es
will be ready when the word is given
to go ahead again. 1t has been urged
that if the trains that have carried
racegoers to the track be discontin-
ued. and the races permitted to go
ahead. the public getting to the
course in automobiles or by other
means than public conveyances, 1t
would help rather than retard the
efforts of the health officers to stamp
out the disease.
