WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Charges Of
drunkenness among the troops in
France, as published in tho "Clip Sheet"
sent out by the Board of Temperance
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
were denounced as untruthful, and as
making the work of the men in France
harder, by Senator William S. Kenyon,
of Iowa, on the floor of the Senate to-
day Mr.. Kenyon was in France in
November, at the very time, according
to the allegations in the "Clip Sheet"
conditions were at the worst.
He urged the temperance workers of
the country to concentrate on the pro-
hbition amendment to the Consttu-
tion and leave the liquor question in
France to Pershing

is the spirit throughout this canton

in acton for the first time by Phil
adelphia fandom next Saturday at
the Broad and Huntingdon streets ball

existed for the last several years, at

The battle between the Phillies and
Athletics, the only one to be staged
by the teams in Philadelphia this
year. will carry with it the city
championship, and because of this
will embody all the thrills and frills of
an entire titular series. Both teams
will send their full strength into the
