CONSTANTlNOplE.
Napoleon Bonaparte Considered it Key
to World Empire.

Napoleon Bonaparte considered u Ney
to World Empire.
After the treaty of Tilsit, Napoleon
bade his secretary, NJ. de Meneval,
bring him the largest possible map of
Europe. In anxious and prot;acted in
terview, the Emperor Alexander had
insisted upon the absolute necessity to
Russia of the possession Of Constanti-
nople. There was no price so great, no
condition so hard, that it would not
have been gratefully accorded by the
Russian tar for the city's acquisition.
Napoleon gazed in silence earnestly
and long at the map wherein that con-
tinent was outlined, of which he, then
at the zenith of his power, was the au-
tocratic arbiter. At last he exclaimed
with earnestness, "Constantinopfe!
Constantinople! Never! 1t is the en-
pire of the world"
Constantinople embraces the entire
group of cities and villages on and i'm
mediately adjacent to the Thracian
Bosphorous. It's heart or center is the
medieval town between the Marmora
and the Golden Horn. -As pre-
sented from the Marmora in the early
morning, when the rising sun paints
the domes and minarets Of the capital
or at early evening when every wave
and every roof seems almost tremulous
in a flood of sunset glory, or beheid at
any time from the hills Of the Bospho-
rous-itself a changing lake Of infinite
variety-it embodies panorama such
as one who has never beheld it cannot
conceive, and such as those who nave
seen it oftenest find impossible ade-
quately to describe.
Few cities have equaled CONSTANT
nople in importance. None in ancient
or modern times have exceeded 1t In
dramatic interest. During centuries OF
the Middle Ages it was the foremost
city of the world, surprising every
other city in populousness, strength,

CIVIC COMMITTEE
MAKES REPORT

To the Members of the Prescott Com
mercial Club:
Soon after our appointment, we,
your committee on civics began to
|plan some of the things which COM
mittee of this kind might do, and we
found the field rather large and the
work pretty extensive. We desire,
however, to mention only two things
which are uppermost in our minds at
this time.
/. A campaign beginning soon and
Extending into next spring to beautify
prescott. This work will include some
| pima to prevent people from throwing
Paper and other rubbish on the streets
to encourage property owners to keep
.down weeds and other unsightly vege-
tation about their presmises and to
plant shrubbery, roses, etc. We hope
| to have a landscape man with the
|eoopertaion of the Railway Co. lay
/ out nice flower and shrubbery gar
den on the plot in the center of town
which is SO unsightly now.
2. In the Spring, with the coopera-
ton of hte Board of Health, we ex-
pect to put on a campaign for the ex-
termination of the mosquito. This
has been done very successfully in
other places and it can be done in
Prescott.
We realize that an honor has been
conferred upon US and we shall en-
aeayor to do some real effective and
lasting work, especially along the two
mes mentioned above.

PRESCOTT DEFEATS
HOPE HIGH 81 TO O

Prescott finished the season by win
ning ner last game from Hope yester-
DAY. The game was interesting fror,
start to finish. However, Perscott
mad the advantage all the way. The
largest crowd ever to witness q foot
pail game in Prescott was on the
held yesterday. Hope had some 25o
or 800 rooters, all of whom occun;ed
the south side of the field and were
with their boys to the last
The game started at 800 Can+a;,,
Duke won the toss of the coin and
cnose to kick. Hope received at east
goal but soon lost the ball on downs.
Prescott began the march for a touch
down and a minutes after play start
ed Hamilton, Huskey and Frisbv had
the "pill' is striking distance of the
goal. On an off tackle play Hamilton
carried the ball over for the first
touchdown. Chastain missed goal
Again Hope chose to receive. Dildv
received the kickoff on 20 yard line
and gained 10 yards. Hope made first
downs on 8 line bucks, but there their
advance was stopped. Quarter ended
Prescott's ball on 80 yard line; score
6 to 0.
n
Second quarter Prescott started her
march for touchdown. While with
in the 10 yard line Husky fumbled
Hope recovered; couldn't gain, SO they
punted. Prescott made first downs.
then was forced to punt. Safety man
messed it up and was downed behind
the line by Right End Coleman for a
safety. In the same quarter Huskey,
Hamilton, Frisby and Duke carried
the ball to the 10 yard line; Huskey
carried it over for touchdown. Goal
was missed. Half ended, Hopes ball
in midfield Score IA to 0.
In the third quarter Prescott came
back with the same old punch, hitting
them hard and heavy. Hope came
back the same way, and due to fun
bles and hard playing, the Bird quar-
ter was scoreless.
In the 4th quarter, Hamilton and
Huskey smashed the lnie for gains at
will. Duke and Frisby went around
the ends the same way and Duke car
ried it over Immediately after the
quarter started. Huskey, thinking
the score not large enough, duplicated
the act.
The entire team played stellar foot
ball, always broke the interference
and sometimes got the man with the
ball too. Duke (Capt) and Bomar
at tackle time after time tore through
the line and got the man with the
ball before he could get started. At
kins and Peachey and Tippett, holding
guards and center, wuoldn't let them
go through their section. With line
like that, how could Hope expect to
win? Duke at quarter played good
game, Huskey and Frisby at half
usually gained when called; Hamilton
at full never failed to gain from 10
Is yards. He hit the line low and
hard and never failed to gain Hopes
best man was playing at half posi-
ton; he was a good broken field run
ner and a sure tackler In the third

On the other hand, prospective
