TRIBUTE FOR TEDDY.
'.Bilr' Roper Pays Honor to Deceased
 American at Recent Banquet.

During a banquet at Swarthmore college recently, "BilP' Roper, Prince toms football coach, in an address, attributed the unusual popularity this year of football to the fact that it is the most interesting sport in Am erica. The recently modified rules he said, were responsible for the unusually large attendance at all college games.
 MT. Roper credited the first action toward making the game safer to Colonel Roosevelt, who, during the first year of his presidential adminis- tration. called together the coaches of Harvard, Princeton and Yale and set in motion proceedinss which ulti- mately resulted In making football one of the cleanest and safest sports in America. He declared football was not merely a game, but was an Amer ican institution. It teaches more than any other sport and is a great train ing school for American manhood, since it makes for physical fitness, besides teaching the value of team work.

FEW UNIDENTIFIED
 MEN BURIED ACROSS
Re-checking Shows Identification
 of Graves Complete

Paris. Dec. 31.--American army off, ficers believe very few unidentified bodies will lie among Americas soldier dead in France when the army graves registration service completes a thor Ough rechecking of records now in progress. Every grave record is being checked against the army's casualty list. Each little white cross-or six pointed star over the Jews--is having an mbossed aluminium strip placed on the back, duplicating the name, rank and organiza ton already painted on the marker. This is being done as q lprecautiOn against the possibility or winter wearing away the stenciled in l. formation.
 Nearly 10000 American boys are buried in the eleven districts or France, the Belgian battlefields and the duchy of Luxemburg. There are 3S emeteries of 300 or more graves, cared for by discharged soldiers. The largest of these is Romagne, north of Vcrdun, where lie 23.O00 of our men. The next in size is that at Thiaucourt with 4,5OO graves. Many of those who fell in battle are sleeping in British and French military or the French communal cemeteries A few were left where they were first put in the ground, as in the Vosges mountains.
 All graves are under the care of the commanding graves officer in the eleven districts and caretake1' watches over them. Officers make periodical inspection. Where practical grass has been SOWn on the battle burying grounds and in the spring this work previously hampered by the task of grouping the bodies, will be carried on.
 When the present graves service ad- rninistration took over headquarters in Paris in August the records were found to contain list of 12, 900 names of men buried but without giving the exact locatio nof the grave. The pres cnt check includes the compilation of complete directory of every Ameri- can grave. Tn the first 18,000 graves recorded a fourth of these unlocated ones were found and properly marked. Inspection of battlefield burying grounds have been the Slowest but tho American officers said they expected the work when finished would lcavefeW of these tragic mounds wherein would lie an American soldier, name un- known
 Many of these are expected to bo identified later when the description of the body, marks in the clothing, and sometimes a letter from home to Dear Jim,'' sent back to the war de- partm ent, are seen by those who have been grieving over their boy listed among the missing"
 None of the bodies may be return ed to the families yet but mothers and fathers have been coming to France to look at the grave of their boy. Well fare organizations have organized services to facilitate these visits and at several of the American cemeteries the Young Mems Christian associa tion has provided rest rooms.

New York, Dec. 31.--New Workers will celebrate in traditional fashion the hour tonight at which the ringing chimes and shrdeking sirens will an- nounce the arrival of 1920
 Revelers and wine fbibbers of whom there still seem to be an appreciable number left, announced that regard less Of prohibition, conseuuences. ex- pense, or revenue men, they would have one last celebration of their own sort. Unnum bered thousands planned to throng the "great white way" and send showers of confetti through an atmosphere agitated by the dinIfrom as many thousands of tin horns and coWbells. Churchgoers planned to attend one of the many watch night services.
 Revenue Men Aplenty.
 Forty revenue agents, some of them in evening clothes, will minsle in the gay restaurant throngs and be on the alert for violations of the liquor law. A special watch will be kept for possible distributors of wood alcohol. John McGinnis, chief as- sistant supervising agent of the in- ternal revenue bureau, today called attention again to the many permits to use on-beverage alcohol which have been issued recently--ostensibly for the manufacture of perfume. hair tonic, varnishes and similar concoc- tions.
 "Once more let me say,' said MT. McGinns, that much of the so- called wine and liquor which it is proposed

 In the big hotels, it will cost from $5 to $15 merely to sit down at din- ing room table. For those who tote their own" liquor, a charge averaging $1.o0 has been set for each cork eX- tracted by a waiter Levies for cool ing wines will be proportionate. One chain of hotels, however has an nounced that much of the stock of rare liquors, wines and cordials in it's various cellars will be presented their guests without cost at midnight The cynically inclined intimated that such mundficence might be due to a sus- picion that the goods would depreci- ate in value after January 16.
