ARMY NAVY FOOTBALL
TEAMS CLASH TODAY

New York, Nov. 2S.--The football
season of 1919 will close tomorrow af-
ternoon when the rival teams from
the United States Military and Naval
academies meet in their grldiron bat
tie at the Polo grounds in this city.
The contest will be the first between
the two service teams since 1916, the
contests of last year and the year be-
fore having been abandoned because
of the war
From social standpoint the game
between the Army and Navy elevens
eclipses all others, as it attracts a
most representative gathering of socie-
Ety leaders, army and navy officers,
diplomats, and others prominent in
all walks OF life. Seated in the various
boxes around the field of play tomor-
row will be several members of Presi-
dent Wilson's cabinet, high officers of
the army and navy, members of the for
eign diplomatic corps at Washington,
senators, congressman, and many 9TH
er national state and city officials
The battalion of cadets of each acad-
envy will attend the game.
The Army Navy game is the most
spectacular as well as the most pop
ular on the football schedule of the
year. The uniforms of officers, the
parading across the field of the bat
talions of gray-clad cadets and the
regiment of blue-unformed midship-
men. the impartial music of the big
brass bands, and the commingling of
the colors Of the American flag with
the blue and gold of the navy and the
gold and gray Of the army, give pic
turesque setting that is inspiring
Hotel managers declare the reserva-
tons this year outnumber those on
any similar occasion in the past. Hun
dreds Of rooms in the big hotels were
secured by mail or telegraph weeks
ago, and persons making last hour
calls are all receiving the same reply,
Sorry, but there is not place left"
The rival elevens appear to be
evenly matched, although it is pessi-
BILE the West Pointers will rule slight
favorites before the whistle sounds for
the opening of hostilities. Both teams
have made good records during the
season, with the Army record show
ing the better performances.
Tomorrow's game will be the TWEEN
tysecond between teams representing
the West Point and Annapolis aoade-
mics The Army has won eleven and
the Navy nine with one game a tie
The record of the games to date is as

Mexico City, Nov 2S.-Conditions in
the republic which have crowded a
million persons in Mexico City, or
more than 500, 000 above its normal
population, have greatly increased the
number of itinerant merchants who
set up shop where their whm wills.
II is impossible to find street in the
city where some vendor has not set
up a stall. A person desiring to outfit
house can buy almost everything
needed without placing a foot within
a regular shop. Let prospective
buyer merely hint that he is in the
market for something and he is inn
mediately besieged by crowd of en-
ergetic statesmen who dilate in ma
chine-gun Spanish on the worth of
their wares,
Sunday is the busiest day for these
merchants. They fCregather princi-
pal!y in the plazas, spread their goods
about them and patiently wait for
customers. Their numbers are aug
mented by men and women, boys and
girls, all of them selling candies, fruits,
shoe-strings, pottery, tobacco, drinks
bright-colored ribbons, shoes, hats,
dogs cats, gophers and the dozens of
varieties 81 food of which chill is the
most important component. The plazas
present an animated appearance.
Bands are playing, whistles are blow
ing, newsboys call their editions, a
man with a wheel of chance beseech-
es the credulous to try their luck, a
boy with huge basket balanced atop
his head offers sweetmeats at five
centaYos each and following him
comes a seller of ice cream with his
frozen dainties tucked away in a con-
tainer which he juggles perilously on
his head but never loses a spoonful,
and above all shines a glorious sun
which gives no hint of brooding prob
lens of existence.
1t is a happy life the native leads on
Sunday when with a few CentavOs he
may fill his stomach with sweets bask
in warm sunshine and listen to music
furnished by a Mexican band, than
which there is no better in any land
A man from the United States, who.

COAL COMMANDEERED BY
CITIZENS COMMITTEE

Lincoln, Neb, Nov 2S.-Organiza-
ton of a citizens fuel committee at
North Platte, Neb., which comman-
deered coal for distribution to needy
families, was reported to the Nebras-
ka state railway commission today.
A telegram to the commission from
a member of the committee said at
least 500 families We're without coal
and that there were more applications
on file for fuel that the supply would
cover. Cold weather has been prevail
ing at North Platte, above zero be-
ing reported there today.
Part of the fuel taken over came
from the city's water plant and all
dealers agreed to turn over present
and future supplies to be delivered
only by order of the committee.
"Only a small supply of fuel was on
hand" the message said, adding that
IF not 4 single passenger is carried on
any railroad 1t seems to us that men,
women and children should be given
enough coal to keep one fire burning
in each household.
The commission turned the matter
over to the Union Pacific fuel COM
mittee at Omaha.

London, Nov. 2S.--The government
is giving another twist to the eoer-
zionist screw in ireland by withdraw
ing from prisoners sentenced for po-
litical offenses the prison treatment Of
political offenders, This treatment,
guaranteed to them by Shortt the last
chief secretary, after the death of
Thomas Ashe, is now Withdrawn, by
French and Macpherson. Political
prisoners who since then have been
denied the benefit of this pledge have
'gOne on hunger-strize in protest and
when critically i'll have been released,
as was the invariable practice with the
suffragettes and the conscientious OBJ
jcctors in England, Now Viceroy
French gives notice that any political
prisoner not content to accept the
treatment of common felon will be
allowed to die in prison.
BY this measure the government
will gain nothing for law and order,
but will pile up further and more
grievous trouble for themselves.
Whatever may be thought of the Sim
Feiners' politics, their courage and
tenacity are undoubted and there are
many among them who won't hesitate
to face death rather than admit the
English governments right to infliet
indignity as we'll as imprisonment
upon them for their opinions
This is what the English press to-
day combines to call "firmer govern
ment in Ireland" in commentators
captions.
While deliberately embittcring the
situation in Ireland, the cabinet is
proceeding with its so-called home
rule bill dividing Ireland officially
into two camps with two conflicting
parliaments and an executive in which
Dublin castle is to be the ruling
power, perpetuating under the guise
of home rule the spirit which has
been the source of the whole trouble.

ONE FROM AUDRAIN ELIGIBLE.
Harvey J. BOnsal May Receive voca.
tional Training From Government.

Harvey J. Bonsal, of Mexico, is the
only ex-service man in Audrain County
who is on the list of soldiers eligible
for vocational training given by the
government because of disabilities re-
ceived during the war. The training
which is open to him is a business
course in Jones Business College, St.
Louis.
There are approximately $4,000 men
in the United States who were injured
seriously enough to warrant assist
ance from the government; $4,000 of
these are already getting vocational
training at the expense of the govern
ment.
In the Ninth District, which is COM
posed of Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska, $500 have applied for
training and have been approved.
The Federal Government has ap-
proPriated $16,0 00, 900 to carry on this
educational work, and $40, 000 900 more
will probably be required. The estima-
ted cost for each mar is 81 800 a year.

Billion Dollars. Europe, with the ex-
ception of these countries, has to
maintain great armies for protection
and to maintain the peace at their
doors and to provide for future wars,
they will not be able to pay US what
they owe US.
But that is not all. If we have 10
maintain vast ornaments against
possible aggregation from Europe and
Asia. see what a burden Of taxation
and what a strain that will be to US.
Again our prosperity and happiness
and progress is largely dependant on
our foreign commerce. We annually
sell about Six Billions of Dollars worth
of goods to foreign countries, the pro-
ducts of our farms, factories and
mines. The bulk of this vast sum, al
| most 100000 for each man who works
in this country is sold to the very
nations singled out by this would be
leader of Missouri thought, as I'M
worthy of our consideration.
II they have to struggle for exis-
tence against anarchy in Europe they
will be unable to buy from US and
what, then, will become of our factor
les, mines and farms? Our vast indus
trial and economic system would col
lapse, and stagnation bankruptcy, per-
haps anarchy and ~bloodshed, would be
our lot.
Our prosperity and progress have
always been dependent on the peace
and prosperity and progress of the
rest of the world. 1t is now infinitely
more dependant than ever before on
the peace of the rest of the world.
