He must take all that is nee esSary to his existence. One has no right to deyand of him anything super human.' 'The great good in war is that 1t should be ended quickly. In view of this. every means. except those which are positively condemnable must be permitted.

No! One must attack all the resources of the enemy government. his finances, his railroads, his stock of provisions and even his prestige. :"
 Many other examples might be cited from the writings of German generals The very best illustration of this atti- tude. however. is to be found in the emperorS various speeches. and eSpe- cially in his speech to his soldiers on the eve of their departure for China in 1900.

 In Peru, where considerable oil devel- opment is under way, the Standard oil company has not made investment for exploitation but the Peruvian petroleum which ranks high and is rich in gasoline and kerosine, furthermore yielding excel lent lubricants, has been shipped in large amounts to San Francisco, where it is sold to the Standard oil company of Cali fornia. While it Is not known to what use the Standard Oil company puts this Peruvian oil, yet in view of the fact that 10 per cent or little more of oil now or recently produced Is converted into lubricants, it is presumed that this Peru vian oil is put to that use after it passes into the possession of the Standard oil company of California.

Annual Gridiron Classic of the South to Be Staged at Redwood Park on
 Saturday

Auburn, November 12.-(Special)-The Auburn team returned Sunday from Co., lumbus and Monday afternoon began 3 busy week preparing for the game with Vanderbilt in Birmingham next Satur- day.
 Although defeated by the Camp Gordon team by score of IA to 5, the team showed considerable improvement over its work in previous games and this was particularly true of the offense. The backs are all going hard but there is still g tendency among them to go blind in stead of using their eyes to pick holes. The work of the line was not up to that of the backs. In the first part of the game they were unable to solve the Cor don offense, but improved as the game progressed.
 Gordon's first touchdown came as the result of straight football and, the sec ond from a blocked kick, which rolled behind the Auburn goal line and was recovered by Gordon player. Both of these touchdowns came in the first half, but in the second half the Auburn de- fense stiffened and Gordon was never in striking distance of a touchdown The coaches this week will work to strength en the defense.
 Excluding the usual bumps and bruises incident to every hard game the men came through the Gordon battle with no injuries. Irwin was cut above the eye but this will not keep him out of the Vanderbilt game.
 All of the squad reported for practice or Drake Field Monday afternoon and were put through some linbering up ex- ercises and short session of defensive work Tuesday they will get down to real work to be in tip top condition for the Commodores.

as yet no oil has been produced in Boli- via, principally on account of the very difficult transportation conditions. For the only way by which the Bolivian fields can be reached is by cart road across Bolivia or from Argentina. Just before the collapse of his South American pro- motions, a collapse that was due to the imminence of the European war which made it impossible for him to finance his plans in Paris, Persival Farquahar contemplated the construction of rail- road from the capital of Bolivia to these oil fields He caused investigation to be made which satisfied him that oil pools of southeastern Bolivia were of vast extent and would yield many millions of barrels of oil year.
 For the present, however, the world must rely for an increase of oil supply upon the deposits in Colombia, in the Darien province and perhaps in Venez- uela. Already the Standard Oil company of New York, has catsed some drilling to be made in one of the Colombia dis trcts. While no results of consequence are yet reported, yet the fact that this

Editor Note--This iS the first of two articles in which Jimmy Britt tells of his memorable fights with Battling Nelson.)
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-11-13

NCiAOusJ
 Battling Nelson appeals to me as the toughest lightweight that ever lived" insists Jimmy Britt. And Britt ought to know lot about the relative ability of fighters of 10 and Is years ago, because he fought all the great men of his time-F'rank Erne, Kid Lavigne, Joe Cans. Young Corbett, Jabez White and many others.
 "Nelson's power to stand up under punishment was nothing short of mil raculous," added Britt That very fact gave to him a tremendous advantage over every foe because the other fel- low would wear himself out hitting Bat-and then Bat would walk in and floor his wearied foe.
 Practically every one of the great fighters that met Nelson experienced no difficulty in cutting him to ribbons. But they couldn't drop Bat. Cans won from him on a foul in AZ rounds-but Cans wasn't able to knock down the Dane Wolgast won the championship from Bat after more than 40 rounds of furious milling. But Ad couldn't floor the Battler Yet I. who nevee ranked as terrific hitter was fortunate enough to knock down the Battler ev- cry time we fought It always struck me as odd that where Cans, Wolgast and the other sluggers had failed l, who was supposed to be only average as hitter had succeeded.
 My first meeting with Nelson was in San Francisco on December 20, 19o4 That was an era when the Battler had not quite reached the crest of his greatness and I romped through to victory by the decision route at the end of 20 rounds. The bout was a fast and furious affair and created so much comment along the Pacific coast that Bat and I were rematched to meet September 9. 1905, in Colma. Cal.
 "The 45-round bouts were just be- coming popular then and that was the distance our contest was scheduled to go. l figured at the outset that the longer the fight went the better would be Bats chances for victory. So elected to go out and try to finish him as quickly as possible. During the first 10 rounds I hit Bat when and where l willed. I rained blows upon him that would have-floored any other fighter. But they merely rocked Bats head little bit-and back he came for more.

who played on the Gordon team, was un- able to get away except for short gains, has given the team a world of confidence and they firmly believe that Berryhill, who. under the coaching of Ray Morri- son. has developed into a sensational broken field runner, will have his trou- bles when he tries to get around the Au- burn ends.
 The Gordon game gave the team lot of much needed experience and every man on the squad is determined to show that even if they are a new team they can play real football.
 At any angle you view it the game promises to be a real scrap and, like all of the other Vanderbilt games worth going miles to see.
