AUBURN FOOTBALL TEAM COMPOSEDOF
 LAST YEARS SUBS
Not a Single Man Who Played in Vandy-Auburn Game Last Year Will Be
 in the Game Here

Auburn, November 8.-(Special.)- )-The Auburn team, which will line up against Vanderbilt at Redwood park on No vember '16. will not contain single man who played in the Auburn-vander- bile game last year.
 At the beginning of the season four "A" men returned to college, but of this number, Captain Rogers is now the only one left. Warren, the powerful guard, has been sent to an officers training camp; Thomas. at tackle, re- gently broke his shoulder, which put him out for the season; Sanford, a guard has not yet recovered from the tflu," nor will he be well enough to play in the Vanderbilt game.
 Thus, Captain Rogers, the last of the "A" men, will lead new team against McGugin's men.
 While the men composing the team are new varsity men yet practically every one of them had experience on last years scrub. Charlie Scott and s'Fat" Snider, both Birmingham boys, are sure to be in the lineup. Scott is a light man, but Is rapidly develop ing into a clever halfhack. Snider is playing center and is an accurate passer and a good defensive man.
 The team thus far has played three games. Oglethorpe university was de- feated, 5S to 0. Then the team from Camp Greenleaf, which had on the two previous Saturdays defeated Sewanee and Vanderbilt came along and added Auburns scalp to it's belt. Marion was played on November and defeated, 20, to $.
 The team is now hard at work pre- pairing for the game with the strong Camp Gordon team at Columbus, Ga, on November g. As soon as this game is out of the way strenuous work will be begun getting ready for Vanderbilt
 Little Is known here of what Me- Gugin has this season, but score of 33 to against Kentucky looks very impressive, and everybody in Auburn realizes that when the Plainsmen and the Commodores meet on the 18th it is going to be a real old-time Auburn Vanderbilt game.

Iron and Steel Review

 fluence. Trade fears are not those of the effects of peace but of the un- charted period of transition from a war to peace basis. Authoritative expressions from Washington show that the situation already is receiving consideration in the highest circles The belief has been strengthened that present governmental regula ton will be extended in some form to stabilize trade conditions after peace High steel authorities believe that a plan of this sort is urgently essential and there is more talk of the advisability of the settlnG or minimum prices to succeed the present maximum rule
 The vital necessity of continuing high speed production continues to be sounded by the government. The ord nance department within the week has sent a general call to the producers of ammunition to drive output to q high level to make up for the huge drafts upon supplies created by the protracted allied drive
 It is pointed out that the replenish- ing of stocks are the best guarantee of armistice or peace conditions. Actual cancellations of war business have been comparatively light

PAYING DEBT TO
 UNITED STATES
By HOLLAND

New York, November S.-Thomas w. Lamont did not, in his recent address, set forth his estimate of the amount which we owed to Europe just before the war began, four billion dollars, and on the other hand speak of the loans, pri- vate and governmentals, which we have made to our friends across the sea- now approximately nine billion dollars simply for the purpose of gratifying nat ural curiosity. His purpose was of the highest importance because one of the immediate problems which will be of fered for solution after the war is ended will, if satisfactorily solved, show how this stupendous indebtedness to the United States can be, in due course, liquidated.
 The liquidation must be accomplished without interfering with the development Of international trade. It is even de- sirable that the allies export to the United States as great an aggregate ot commodities as is possible. These, how ever, will not, for some years, do more than partially to liquidate the obligations incurred by Europe when it buys Ameri- can commodities such as food. raw mate- rial, manufactured articles, and railroad and electrical equipment which are needed for the reconstruction of the in- dustrial enterprises, especially in Belgium and France, and to some extent in Italy.
 MT. Lamont, as chairman of the foreign securities organization, so-called, is ex- pected to give as much of his time as possible, aided by a committee which he expects to appoint; to a careful study of financial and other conditions in the countries which owe us this enormous amount of money so that the committee may be in position to pass judgment upon the securities which it is expected will be offered to the people of the United States by foreign governments, by railroads and by corporations.
 There is no official publication which sets forth the amount of foreign se- curities which were held in Great Brit ain at the beginning of the war. Henry P. Davidson, who had in 1915 an oppor- tunity of learning some things which were associated with the investment of English capital in foreign securities spoke upon his return of the aggregate as enormous but he did not think that he was justified in stating in figures all that he had learned. But the presumption is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-09

that Great Britains investment in for e1gn securities was not equal at the be- ginning of the war to the aggregate of the indebtedness which our allies now owe to the United States, certainly not to the amount which will be owed to us | by the end of the year 1913.
 l Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that within four years the United States | has not only liquidated foreign deDt of four billion dollars, but has, in addT- ton lent so much money to our allies as to justify the statement that this country is now the greatest creditor na- tion in the world and is sure to remain in that position for some, perhaps many, years after the war is ended.
 Nevertheless, it is estimated that this foreign debt be liquidated and apparently Mir. Lamont and his | associates are satisfied that one of the best because of the surest and most satisfactory means of liquidating
 it will be through the absorption by the American people of vast amounts after
 peace has come
 Whether we shall be able to absorb as
 many securities as represent in their
 par value in the aggregate the ten bil-
 lions or twelve billions which our allies
 owe to us is a question. But with men
 Of whom MT. Lamont is the type, per-
 haps the best type, who will make effort
 to obtain accurate and exhaustive infor-
 nation respecting financial and other
 conditions in the countries which are our
 debtors and, who by experience are qual-
 flied to scrutinize every kind of securi-
 ty that is offered and to make reports
 based upon that scrutiny, active as ad- visors, there is no doubtsthat the United
 States will be able to absorb a vast amount of European securities.
 This is one of the lessons which the successful floating of the four liberty loan bonds has taught. Before the possible to conceive of the American people becoming of a sudden investors in billions of bonds. Within year the people learned what wise investment means; how it encourages thrift and what the advantages are in converting some proportion of savings or income into bonds or other securities. That lesson will, MT. Lamont believes, make it all the more easy to persuade the American people to make investment in foreign securities. For the government will no longer find it necessary to ask the people for further loans. There may be two more loans but probably tha last of the liberty loans will be fIoated in the fall of 1919
 AS our government will not find it necessary to call upon the people for fur the1 contributions, excepting in the form of taxes, the people. having learned the lesson which wise investmeht teaches, will be disposed to invest their surplus not only in high grade American secur- ities but also in those which will be offered in this country.
 Fortunately we possess an asset of in value in aiding the Notation of foreign securities which have passed the crutiny of competent men. That asset is liquid, free and impersonal market 1 such as New York Stock exchange is l

 The place of home service in the war has been most wildly described by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. He said recently:
 T have tried and tried hard to impress upon the people the necessity of organiz- ing throughout the country to look after the families of those who have gone to the front. I have told them to see to it that the family of every soldier is looked after by local committees. Some of these families are well provided for. Others will need practical assistance, especially families where there are old people or young children. The bread winner. the protector, the man has gone to the front. He has offered everything, even life itself and, giving all himself, it is only right that those behind should see that the people dependent upon him are looked after. He has thrown every thing to the winds in order to serve his country, and the helpless ones who look to him for support should be taken care of by those whose battles he is fighting What are the thoughts of the man stand ing in a muddy trench, with the enemy
 E front and hell all about him, when he receives a letter from home telling of neglect and suffering?

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
as dAs,ws J. coRBETT.

Chris Won der Ahe was ou ne shrewdest men ever identified with basebalI--and yet one of the most Ichildlike. Ever suspicious that some one would hand him the much feared "dinky -dink." that very characteristic led Chris into many pitfalls and per mitted his league associates to slip over a few bad trades on him.
 Among the many stories told and re- told about the quaint owner of "der Saind Looie Browns" has to do with how Chris was given the worst part of Ia trade with the Pittsburg Pirates 25 years ago because he deally insited up- on it.
 William Chase Temple, who died two wears ago, owned the Pirates then. Tenn pie wanted Bill (Adonis) Terry, who was pitching for Ned Hanlon's Balti- more team. Hanlon wouldn't sell Ter ry to the Pirates nor would he con slider any Pirate trade But Temple learned that Hanlon was mighty sweet on Cub Stricker, the Brownie second baseman, and that he would consider a trade of Berry for Stricker And, at the same time, Won der Ahe was rather keen about securing Jimmy Calvin, then pitching for the Pirates, not knowing what Temple knewxthat Galvin's arm was about gone.
 Temple, just before his death, re- counted the story of how he put through the deal and gave Won der Ahe "der lnky-dink'-and here it is:
 T went to Chris, told him I wanted Stricker and that if he would make trade I'd let him have any pitcher on my staff but Calvin. Immediately Chris got suspicious. No matter what you offered him he wanted that which you seemed to want to keep for yourself. I knew when. I said he could have any of my pitchers but Calvin that Calvin would be the very man he would want. Had l said he could have had Calvin, Chris wouldn't have wanted him. Chris was that type.
 Wy can't I haf dot Galvin?' de- manded Chris.
 Oh, 1 couldn't let you have Jimmy Personally l think his arm is gone that he is all through as a pitcher. But the Pittsburg fans don't think so. They like Calvin. They'd mob me if I let him go. You can have any other pitcher but not Calvin
 But 1 want Calvin insisted Chris.
 'Sorry-I can't let, you have him I responded
 eff me Calvin and I giff you
