Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 13-The prog
ress made in football by the smaller
colleges of the country during the
season just closed is demonstrated by
the selection of five of the eleven
players forming Walter Camps ALL
American team of 1919 from institu-
tions with student enrolment of less

less than two hundred students, is the

leading eleven, Ohio State, of the
middle West, being the one exception.
The middle and far west are better
represented on the second team while
the East predominates in the third
combination. Of the so-called big In
stitutions of the East but two are rec
ognized in the first team with Mil
ler, of Pennsylvania at one end ano
Casey of Harvard at halfback. Play
ers from Yale, Princeton and Navy

AMERICA GIVEN
DUE WARNING
Not To Be Deceived By Proposals
Which May Be Made By British
Cabinet Committee.
Associated Press

DUBLIN, Dec. 13-America is war
ned by the FREEMAN S JOURNAL
not to be deceived by proposals which
may be made by the British Cabinet
Committee on Home Rule. The Jour
nal criticizes the plan Of the Cabi
net Committee so far as it has beer
revealed by the reports circulated il
Ireland The newspapers attitude is
believed to represent that of the OLE
Irish Party. It says:
'The scheme proposes partition 0
it's worst form, and it ensures the grip
of the bankrupt wastrels of Whitehall
on the solvent Irish purse. The auth
ors know the fate that awaits tn
scheme. It has two purposes,
throw dust in the eyes Of America
and to enable the Home Rule Act
be scrapped. The scrapping was de
cided on long before the Committe
was constituted or even contemplated
But in the uncertainty of affairs a
Washington the scrapping has to b.
done under careful cover and unde
pretence of offering a settlement OF
much more generous terms than haV
ever been proposed before. The gen
erosity can be measured by the pro
posed trick to keep the control OF tn
Irish purse in British hands.

Still Worrying Over
Rhineland Question
A ssociated Press

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Dec. 13-Pan-Ger-
mans are still worrying over the
Rhineiand question. Although all Is
apparently quiet on the surface, they
insist that the agitation for separa-
tion. first from Prussia and then from
Germany, continues under cover. I'M
opinion is shared by the Democratic
Gazette which commented recently on
the efforts being made by the Centrlst
party for the establishment OF TINS
republic as "a beloved land OF Catho-
licism."
Leaders of the Centre party have
steadfastly denied having even the re
motest idea of ever separating from
Germany, but have admitted that they
had been working with the hope OF
ultimate separation from Prussia by
legal means.

HELP IS NEEDED
TO TAKE CENSUS
Leflore County Will Not Be Repre-
sented In The 1920 Census Unless
Enumeratcrs Are Secured.

For some time past the Chamber Of
Commerce has been in correspondence
with the Census Supervisor of this
district, relative to securing compe-
tent and reliable census takers for
Leflore County and Greenwood, with
results not at all promising.
Three enumerators are wanted for
each supervisors district ,and about
four additional for Greenwood. En-
umerators in Greenwood will be al
lowed two weeks to complete thelf
work, beginning January End. Enum-
orators in the rural districts will be
allowed a full month.
The compensation was originally
placed at three cents for each name
in the incorporated towns and 20
cents for each agricultural schedule
The Chamber of Commerce has sue
ceeded in getting the allowance rals-
ed to four cents for each name, ana
80 cents for each agricultural sche-
dule. Each enumerator should make
at least a hundred dollars under TINS
arrangement, dii0 ooiiiS VI ''i~AAA
bly, twice as much.
There has been some opposition TO
giving this matter publicity hereto-
fore. lest there be flood of appllca-
ton from incompetent and unreliable
sources, making the selection OF de-
sirable enumerators more difficult. 10
date however, only one really accept
able application has been received
from the entire county. Nineteen en-
umerators are needed. supervisor
Emmett Harty, Third Census DIS
trict, writes the Chamber of CONNER
ce: {" Ihave done everything IN my
