NEW YORK. oct 2s.-With peace
~ talk growing stronger as the
kaiser and his six useless sons retreat

whisper from various points Of the
baseball compass and Indications that
the pastime is itching 10 come TO life

In probably the most e.S=--S
matched game seen on the local grid
iron this season. the Rio Grande foot
ball eleven yesterday afternoon de-
feated the Cathedral Nationals by a
score Of 1919. In the last quarter
the Nationals fought desperately for
a goal. reaching within a few yards
Of the line but the excellent defensive
tactics Of the Rios effectively blocked
the Cathedrals and cinched the game
for the Grande boys.
N. Delao made the star individual
play of the game when he ran 50
yards, lodging or throwing aside the
whole Cathedral field. Goal was
kicked by Stanley. Gillespie made
the other touchdown for the Rios and
with Stanley made ogod gains around

ENGLAND NEEDS MORE TIMBER
Larger Consumption Must Follow as
Result Of postponemenf Of Work
on Account Of War.

Reports reaching the Offices Of the
National Lumber Manufacturing as
ISOLATION in Chicago, indicate there
will soon be an increase in the use of
wood 10 England. When a timber
controller was appointed last Jann-
airy as war measure, consumption
Of wood was restricted in nearly
every direction until an irredncible
minimum essms to have been
reached.
During the last two years England
has been living very largely on its
fixed capital 20 far as wood is con-
cerned, and little hSs been done to
make repairs or erect new buildings.
Railroad companies put off neces-
sary work in the hope Of better con-
ditions, but this cannot be longer
postponed.
Construction Of workmen's cot
iages must also go ahead since many
munition and other workers are
homeless, while the great increase in
shipbuilding and ship repairing il
bringing an inevitable demand for
more ship timber. At the same time
requirements Of the British army for
packing boxes and cases, furniture,
light railroads, aerodromes and
other buildings, make 3 constant de-
mand for lumber.
The conclusion Of the English
timber firms is, therefore, that the
time has arrived when a larger tim
Der consumption must take place,
and the government will act wisely
If it allows a larger importation Of
foreign stocks.
