With the American Armies in
France, Oct. 3. (By Mail l)-Colored
troops from America already have
established themselves in Europe as
being cool and reliable fighters in
the front line. Both American and
French commands say so, and IL the
Germans ever discovered who it was
that held part of the line through
Argonne Forest when the boches
failed to get through some time ago,
the German command has a decided

their predecessors, a negro unit from

SPLENDID YOUNG MAN VICTIM
DIES FROM SPANISH PLAGUE

John Lind, young man 22 years
of age, died Saturday night in the
Fifth ward as the result Of Spanish
Influenza, after a decidedly brief ILL
ness.
The plague victim was a splendid
specimen of young manhood, being
a giant in stature and weighing 1913
pounds He was a native Of Den
mark and had no relatives in this
country. 1t is believed he left some
money for he attempted to say some
thing to o. j. Tagley, but what he
attempted to say could not be under

not feeling we'll and his end came
soon thereafter.

GAINEY STAR PLAYER =. .
IN FOOTBALL VICTORY: :.
HAMLINE Is WINNER

Hamline and Macalester, ancient
athletic rivals, met on Shaw field, ST.
Paul, Saturday, and resulted in a
victory for Hamline by a score of
81 to O, establishing Hamline as a
strong factor in the S. A. T. c. foot
ball race. 1t was the opening game
for both teams.
The winners outplayed their op-
ponents in every department of the
game. The Mackmen could not even
dent the line of the Hamline eleven,
and in it's account of the game the
St. Paul Dispatch says:
"Both teams relied almost alto
gether on line plays, the ball being
too water-soaked for them to attempt
the passing game more than a few
times. One of Hamline's three for
ward passes was successful, Gainey
being on the receiving end for a
touchdown. Aer
"The third period brought out the
best football of the game. Gloon
took the ball to Macs 15-yard line
with gains OF ten and twenty yards.
"A penalty of fifteen yards in
flicted on Manchester put the ball Il
foot from the goal line and then
the Manchester defense stiffened and
held for four plays They punted
and soon afterwards Gainey scored
on a forward pass from Hanson. The
try for goal failed" =" W
The Gainey referred to in the
newspaper account is Dan Gainey OF
Bemidji, who is attending Hamline.
While a Bemidji high school student,
Gainey was one of the star athletes
and is recognized as one of the best
ever turned out in the high school.

be carried to a successful conclusion.
How far the total will run above
the six billion dollar goal, officials

CONGRESS WOULD

Opposition Arises Over Pro-

International News Service:

international News service.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-Pres't
wilson's power over congress may
be taxed to the utmost to carry
Sec'y Bakers war plans through
both houses.
Sentiment overwhelmingly favors
adding millions of men to the army.
Indications are that a majority fav-
or going even beyond the war de-
partment's figures. But the most
formidable opposition made its ap-
pearance in both the senate and
house today against any broad grant
OF blanket authority TO Sec'y Baker
TO call out any number Of men he
sees fit. Members OF both houses in
sisted that it was the duty Of con-
gress to prescribe the number Of
men 10 be called to the coIors.
In the house, Chairman Dent of
the military affairs committee, will
be the chief obstacle TO Sec'y Bakers
program. He is unalterably OPP
posed 70 such a grant Of power as
asked by Mr.. Baker. Anticipating
Mr.. Bakers request OF Thursday,
he introduced bill specifically
limiting the number Of men to be
drafted to four million. This is con-
siderably in excess of Mr.. Bakers
program for the next year. but the
war department is opposed to any
legislative limitation.
The senate military affairs com
mittee is not yet ready TO define its
attitude. It's members are mainly
big army" men and are ready TO
support vast increases in the mill
tary establishment.
In spite OF the opposition. admin
istration leaders predicted today
that the war department would have
it's way and that congress in the
end would give it an entirely free
hand in fixing the size OF the army
