Americus is to feel the pressure of
the war in a new way.
The taxi cab drivers are TO be the
victims, along with the bell-bOys in
hotels and elevator operators and
others who are now employed in the
so-CalIed non-essentiaI industries.
The traveller who comes to town
must either ride uptown in a cab
driven by boy under eighteen or By
a woman, or-walk Some of those
who own their cars may give a fellow
a lift, but the lucrative practice of
hauling a passenger to town for a
quarter, and of tapping a soldier for
dollar when he is transported from
Americus to souther Field must
stop.
At least this is what is intimated
by NJ. A. Warren and d. II. Bracket,
who are directing the activities of the
United States Employment bureau
here. These gentlemen say the day
when these reforms are to be inau-
gurated is not far distant, and they

NEW RAILROAD RULE
JARS FOOTBALL PLANS

New York, Oct. 1.-THE war de-

from overnight travelling for games
scheduled in October will raise havoc
with some of the contests scheduled.
Probably the most important meet
ing that will be interfered with Is the
Pennsylvania Pittsburg game sche-
duled for October IS. That cannot
possibly be played If the order is en-
forced
Other games that will be under the
ban are the West oPint-Syracuse and
Pittshurg- West Virginia contests set
for next Saturday. The Syracuse
Pittsburg and West Point West Vir-
ginia games scheduled for October -,
and the Syracuse Dartmouth and
Notre Dame Washington and Jeffer-
son for October IS will also have to
be abandoned. All OF these contests
have been regarded as gridiron fea-
lures of major importance.
