bats The game will be called nc two
o'clock.

The Herald ought to get the credit
for putting on the game. In an adj
vance story on the field day at Fort
Brown, June IA, stated that s base
ball game would be played by pick
ed team from the second squadron
Of the Sixteenth Cavalry and picked
nine from the 37th Infantry In tell
ing OF the cavalry's victory next day
the error was corrected and the de-
feated team was listed as nine pick
ed ''from other units stationed at the
posts. meaning Company II" of the
37th, the Motor Truck Company and
the medics.
That was what brought the regi-
mental team of the 37th Infantry to
Brownsville with blood in their eyes.
Regiments are jealous of their ath-
letic regulations, and the 37th could
mt take that pill.

tee program for accepting the Lea

Conferences with league oppon-
ents attracted the widest attention
because it is believed they will bring
about unity of those not fully approx

recommendations are designed to
soften the nations obligations for
guaranteeing the integrity Of foreign
countries. and further safeguard the
Monroe Doctrine and would give the
right to withdraw from the league.
Root declared these could be made
without endangering the other league
provisions.
Senator Borah Of Idaho gave notice
that he will not remain in the repub-
lican party if it fails to take a more
definite stand against the league.
Senator Hitchcock, democrat, of

stand against the league and declar-

LOST CITY DISCOVERED.
Great Canyon Near Santa Fe Once
t Had Town of 10000.

A lost city of 10000 persons has
been found in great canyon barely
40 miles from the city of Santa Fe,
N. M. 1t is reported to be the first
known city of the Cochiti tribes of
the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest.
The place is called Rito de los Fri
joles or Tyu-on-yi, and is one of the
worlds wonders.
Here, in little caves in the sides of
gigantic cliffs, dwelt the prehistoric
cliff dwellers of America in commu-
nal dwellings, that were almost i'm
mune from attack by either man or
the giant beasts of the stone age.
The valley is about IL miles long
and about half a mile wide, with the
sheer walls of the cliff towering per-
pendicularly for thousands of feet.
For some distance they are red or
brownish in color and then in places
they are dazzling white. Almost the
entire surface is honeycombed with
thousands of volcanic blowholes, that
once upon time belched forth sui
phur fumes and steam of the earth's
core. The people used these holes
as doors to their homes, and en-
larged the interiors to suit their fam
lilies. Some built three-story build
ings in front of the caves, but little
remains of these feats of masonry.
The great ceremonial cave or Kiva,
where the peoples councils evidently
assembled, is located two-thirds of
the way up the side of cliff, in a
cave inaccessible, save with ladders.
The temple is carved out of solid
rock, partly by nature and partly by
hand.
Little is known about the forgot
ten people that once lived in this
beautiful retreat in New Mexico, al
though many of the symbols of race
that was are visible in the interiors
of the recently discovered homes
