Railroads during November. 1919,
were operated at loss of approx
mately 100000, 900 to the Govern
ment, according to statistics given
out by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today.
The net profits for the month were
500, $50. against S60.152,379 for
November. 1918, a drop of more than
100 per cent. The decrease is attribu-
ted to the coal strike, which necessi-
tated a curtailment in railroad serv-
ice. ~
Railway operating revenue for the
month was s43S, 13s,S34, against $40
915.1SS for November, 1918. After de.
ducting operating expenses, tax ac-
cruals. and uncollccted railway revc-
nues. the Government was left with

arantec' OF 1878 per mile to owners

DUTCH FOOTBALL MEN
 HAVE POOR QUARTERS

Antwerp, Nov. 2.-Publication of the inside story of the ro<nt Holland Belgium football game in the Olympic tournament shows that the American Olympic team was not the only one to rebel because of the transport ac- comm oda tions furnished them.
 Just as the Americans found the Matoika an overcrowded ship. the Dutch players protested strenuously against the quarters allotted them aboard d small steamer which brought them to Antwerp and on which they were supposed to live. Four of them, ringleaders of the rebellion" were barred from the big game but when the Dutch committee sought to dis cipline them and send them home ir disgrace the entire team formed sort of soviet and forced the commit tee to back downn just as the Amer ican team won out over its Olympic committee in the case of Ahearn.

SHIFT CALLAHAN
 TO GUARD PLACE
Yale's Captain at New Posi- tion in Signal Drill-Oth-
 CT Changes in Line.

New Haven, Nov. 2.-Several changes were made in the Yale Var sity when it lined up for signal prac- tee at the field yesterday afternoon, notable among which was the return of Captain Callahan to the lineup but in the position of right guard. Into replaced Ma ckay at right tackle and Acosta returned to his old place at left guard. The centre was Guernsey. The only men in the line that started the game against Colgate Saturday were Walker, left tackle, and the two eids, Cutler and Dilworth. Back of the line were Murphy, quarterback, Campbell and Kelley. halfbacks, and Jordan, halfback. Later on in the signal drill Kempton went in at left halfback and Campbell was shifted to fullback. This team had 40 minutes of signal work, under the direction of Head Coach Jones.
 Besides this lineup, which had no scrimmaging, the second team had long scrirnmage with Dr..BullS eleven On the second team were several who will get a tryout on the Varsity this week, for 1t is not believed that Cal lshan and Acosta will be quite in shape against Brown, and there may be other changes. The second team was made up of Dutton, left end Mac ckay, left tackle: Bean, left guard i; Calvin, centre; Herr, right guard; right end; Neville, fullback: Knapp, laft halfback; French right halfback; Stprm; fullback.
 This team played pr. Bulls team for half an hour. The team was on the defense most of the time, but finally took the ball in the centre of the field and by short reushes carried it to the 10-yard line and made a first down there. The coa ches decided not to let the second Varsity score and gave the scrubs the ball. The gains for the Varsity were made by Knapp and Sturm. French punted well: Wakelee and Saunders played well for the scrubs and Saunders made a 20-yard run after intercepting a for ward pass.

Moshier Denounces
 College Officials

Captain Moshier of the Chain football team, angered by the loss uf the game to the Williams team of New Haven. Sunday, went to the dressing room of the officials, Me heegan of Purdue university, and Pratt of Tufts college, and lashed them with his tongue, scathingly denouncing the men in profane lan- Cuase for their ignorance of foot ball. The officials were looked upon as two of the most efficient that has ever officiated in any game in this city and the denunciation by Moshier was entirely uncalled for.
 You are college men, you - -! Where the - did you ever learn football? These were some of the exclamations of Moshier, who has always up to this time shown himself to be a sportsman of the highest rank, but his attitude has proved otherwise

HOLLAND TAKES UP
 PHYSICAL TRAINING

The Hague, Nov. 2.-Holiand has decided to take up in earnest the question of compulsory physical train ing for all of it's young men and at the same time to reduce the length of compulsory service in the army on the theory that gymnastic work would be as equally beneficial as soldering P A bill has been prepared for par liament proposing a certain amount of physical drills for boys from 14 to 19. This drill would be taken up in the schools until the youths left them and then would be under governm ent control.
 This is the first time that Holland has seriously considered the physical welfare of her boys outside of the army. There has been a great revival of sport in this country as well as the rest of Europe result of the Olympic games. Holland already has one huge stadium at Amsterdam and another is being planned at The Hague for which the Dutch sport en- thusiasts hope to secure the next Olympiad.

DISORDERS HAVE
 RUINED BUSINESS

Dublin, Nov. 2.-The tourist busi- ness in Ireland has been injuriously affected by the revolutionary disor- ders. Tourist agents and hotel keep CTS are in despair. North Wales and the Isle of Man have captured the and Glengariff. There has been a notable absence of the usual influx of Americans.
 Dublin has suffered less proportion ately than other places, but Dublin s visitors did not take the risk of leav- ing it for the provinces. There was no danger to life or limb, but the dis location of the railway service caused by the refusal of the railway men to carry soldiers. police or munitions made the train service so uncertain that nobody could count safely on reaching or returning from any given destination within. the limits of a holiday.
