resented Yale on the gridiron.
 Arrangements are being made to pit the sailor boys against both coll lege and service teams, the first game being scheduled against Stevens coll lege at Hoboken, N. J., on November 2. A league will also be organized, it is understood, comprising teams from Pelham Bay, Fort Slocum Mineola, Fort Jay. Fort Hancock and possibly Granite State.
 Wrestling, which is under the di- rection of New Havener lizzie Win ters, is also thriving at Pelham. while in boxing Chick Howard of this city is showing up in fine style. Arnold Redmond, son of Assistant Fire Chief , Redmond, is the boxing matchmaker down there.
 Sid Alderman, local boy who was considered an excellent prospect for the football eleven. will shortly report to the Columbia Gas Engine school.
 Fred Walker, pitcher for the Mur- lins this summer, and at present in- structor at Newport, was visitor ar Pelham recently resulting in a ten tative play being made to match the two elevens on the gridiron this fall.

NEW SPORT FOR
 TRAPSHooTERS HoVER THEREn

Considerable first class material for the personnel of the newly organized Motor Transport Corps of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force can be found among the many thousands of trap shooters who are serving with the colors and from those who will soon respond to the call to do battle with the hun.
 Trapshooters are essentially sports men of the highest order and the driving of a truckload of ammuni- tion in the front-line zone lover there" is essentially sporting prop osition. One can we'll imagine how the average trapshooter would jump at the chance for immediate service overseas and in the very thick of the most stirring doings.
 There is nothing suggestive of a bomb proof job about a service which sends stout hearts along roads under enemy fire with needed rations for the boys in the front line trenches, or speeding up to carry shells to batteries of artillery whose guns are keeping up ceaseless drumfire on the hordes of Prussianism.
 Driving at night without lights when pumping into a cargo of am munition aboard the truck in front would mean the wiping out of both trucks and their crews. is a real job for a real sportsman and just the sort of a sporting proposition that would appeal to the fellows who have had their eyes made keen and their every faculty alert on the trapshooting line Co on" is the motto of the Motor Transport Corps, and that means SC on in every sense; go on when roads are bad go on when a truck is ditched in the darkness or turns turtle at the bottom of a shell crater. The trucks

for negotiations.
 T have taken this step not only for the salvation of Germany and it's al lies, but for all humanity which has been suffering for years through the war.
 T have taken it also because I be- lieve the thoughts regarding the fu- ture we'll being of the nation which were proclaimed by MT. Wilson are in accord with the general ideas cher ished by the new German government and with it the overwhelming major ity of our people.
 So far as I am personally concern ed in earlier speeches to other assem- blages, my hearers will testify that the conception which l hold of a fu- ture peace has undergone no change since l was entrusted with the lead erShip of the empires affairs.
 (Section Missing)
 T see, hence, no distinction what ever between the national and inter national mandates of duty in respect of peace. For me the deciding factor is solely that all participants shall with equal honesty acknowledges these mandates as binding and re- spect them as is the case with me and with the other members of our
 
 ner peace. which my clear conscience as man and as a servant of the people gives me, and which rests at the same time upon firm faith in this great and true people, this people capable of every devotion, and upon their glorious armed power, I await the outcome of the first action which have taken as the leading statesman of the empire:
 Whatever this outcome may be know it will find Germany firmly re- solved and united either for an up right peace which rejects every sell fish violation of the rights of others or for a closing of the struggle for life and death to which our people would be forced without our own fault if the answer to our note of the powers opposed to us should be dictated by q will to destroy us.
 T do not despair over the thought 1 that this second alternative may come I know the greatness of the mighty | powers yet possessed by our people and I know that the incontrovertiblt conviction that they were only fight | ing for our life as a nation would dou- ] bIe these powers. (Applause).
 q hope, however, for the sake oi | all mankind that the president of the United States will receive our offer as we mean it. Then the door would be opened to a speedy. honorable peace of justice and reconciliation for us as well as for our opponents"

NOVEMBER TO BE BIG FOOTBALL MONTR

Football is not entirely to be aban- doned in institutions having students army training corps units, the War Departments committee on educa tion and special training decided yes terday.
 Every large institution in the country will be entitled to play at least four big games-two at home and two abroad-during the month of November, and intercompany games will be permitted in the present month, according to in structions sent to the commanding officers of the units by the War De- partment.
 The instructions suggest to the commanding officers that efforts be made to encourage athletic rivalry between companies in training at all schools, and where it will not conflict with military training to permit games each Saturday duriT@ October and November. No provi- sion has been made for December, but if weather conditions are ideal games between companies will be permitted during the first two weeks of December.
 The committee on education and special training has mapped qua a tentative plan to be followed at all schools. The month of October will be utilized as a preparatory season for football. That is, each company is encouraged to organize an eleven which will play against other elev- ems in the same school during the month in a competitive way to de- termine whether the November games with outside institutions should be played by teams selected from the cream of the company elevens.
 The privilege is given each insti- tuition to select a star eleven out of all teams or designate the eleven from any particular company that makes the best record for victories in the preparatory month of Oct Der.
 Under the plan outlined the crack team of any institution will be priv ileged to play two big games at home and two abroad during the month of November. The stipula- | ton. however, is made ha no fur loughs will be granted for a longer period than from Friday to Sunday night to teams scheduling games abroad.

AUsTRIAS PREDICAMENT IS GERMAN MENACE

Austrias frantic appeals President Wilson for peace, her effort to get Secretary Lansing to per suade President Wilson to intercede with the other Governments, and influence them state their peace terms quickly, and her direct request for separate peace from Italy, all indicate how sorely pressed she is
 That Austria psychologcay out of the war be- came evident when Bulgaria surrendered her de feat in the but a matter of time became evident when her Italian drive met disaster last spring. Now last straw to her troubles comes drive against her forces in Italy. It is surprise that the drive has from success to another. There is no good question the probability that the prediction which has been she will be unable to get her troops of Italy without mak ing large surrenders of will be fulfilled
 President Wilson and the Allied governments will i'll all probability make known Austria conditions precedent to an armistice within few days, if in deed, that shall not have been done before this is printed. The necessity for accepting the terms will be more apparent hecanse of the late disasters to Austra's along the Piave
 The terms to Austria should be like those to Bull garia were-they should include the right to trans port troops through Austria and Hungary and the control, during the War, of their seaports and trans portation lines
 With the Rehabilitation of the Austrian and Hun garian armies and control of Austrian Hungarian and Bulgarian transportation lines it would not be long until the Allied armies that have been warning in Italy and the Balkans would be on the German southern frontier, and perhaps, with them consid erabe part of Gen. Allenby's army which has been smashing the Turks in Asia
 Therefore, Austrias predcament is German men 
 Already defeated in France and Belgium what could Germany do with a great and successful army at her southern border? It is wonder that the drastic conditions for armstice that have been decided upon by the Allies caused a panic Ger mans know that their condition is now helpless They understand that unless tereres another spring VIII see the war carried into their country from both the west and south. And they know full well what the result will be if that comes to pass
 Germany must accept defeat if the war continues To get peace she must comply with the conditions de- eided upon by the Allies and they humiliating as defeat in the field could be. No matter which horn of the deiiinma they grasp Germans must bear all the stings and remorse an unsuccessful and nglorious war.

GERMANY'S FAMINE INCLUDES MANY OF
 THE NECESSITIES

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 31.-Germany' s famine in cotton, wool and edible oils and fats is not being alleviated by the ingenius just as good" sub stitutes which have been provided since the war, according to Emil Zim- merman, a well-known authority on colonial subjects, in an article in the Berlin Tageliche Runschau.
 Nothing" he complains, "has cut so deeply into our daily life as the lack of fats and the absence of raw textile materials. One dovetails into the other, for no fat means no soap no soap means chemical substi- chemical substitutes ruin the clothes, and clothes we cannot re- place without wool and cotton"
 Dairy produce has fallen off 66 per cent and animal fat has almost completely vanished from the coun try" Zimmerman writes, uncon- consciously revealing the inner truth of Germany's precarious position when he declares: We must have colonies from which we can draw large quantities of raw materials at once and not after 15 to 20 years of fighting

 The planes will be capable of lift ing three men-a pilot, surgeon and an X-ray operator-tOgether with radiograph, surgical instruments and a small folding table in aluminium. They will have speed of from 45 to 70 miles an hour, which will en able them to reach, for example, Noyon to Paris in an hour, whereas the lightest surgical motor takes half a day.
