any attempt to feed him while he is

hunger strike as soon as revived and,

.SPAULDING SUBS
FINISHED GAME
Montpelier Scored in First
Few Minutes--Final
Score, As to z

Spaulding high school continued its
winning career Saturday by defeating
Montpelier high school, IS to Z, on
the Montpelier seminary campus. Mont
pelier scored i'm the first few minutes OF
play, after which that team was kept
from striking distance, the Spaulding
team playing a fast game and carry
ing the ball almost at will. In the
last period Spaulding was represented
by practically substitute team, there
being an entirely new baekfield and
four new linemen. Captain Dobbs, in
scoring Montpelier's only touchdown,
ran so yards.
The game opened with Montpelier
receiving the kickoff, Conf getting the
ball, but not covering much distance.
Then Conf, Dobbs and Harris made IL
yards. Two more plays were made and
then Conf threw a forward pass to
Dobbs, who started down the field
with the ball. warding off two Spauld-
ing players. He reached the goal line
and Sheridan kicked the goal.
Spaulding then received the ball and
after four first downs had been OBJ
tanned, Slayton carried the ball over
the line. but he was unable to kick the
goal Montpelier received the ball, but
Spauiding soon took it away from
them on tumble and then, after a
few rushes, Smith carried the ball over
the line, but Densmore could not kick
the goal.
Conf again received the ball and
Montpelier was able to make a couple
Of first downs; then the ball went to
Spaulding who made first downs twice
and tumble gave the ball to Mont
pelier on their 45-vard line, but Mont
pelier failed to make their distance
and Spanldng again had the ball and
soon Douglas, who has been substitut-
ing in the back field, ran about 40
yards for a touchdown, but he failed
to kick the goal.
Conf received the ball for Montpel-
Ter and shortly forward pass was
attempted, which Smith intercepted on
the 30-yard line and made about 10
yards. However. Spaulding fumbled
and Montpelier got the ball. Then a
Montpelier man was put into the game
and two penalties occurred because the |
player talked to his companions. Mont
pelier was unable to gain and Smith |
received the punted ball. After few |
rushes Brown carried the ball over the |
line but failed to kick the goal

CAMELS FAILED HERE.
Were Imported as Carriers in South
west Before Civil War.

The proposition to import camels
into this country for use in the sandy
and arid regions of the southwest is
nothing new-and unimportant. Even
if the motortruck had not come into
being, the camel still would not solve
any try. The experiment was tried
more than 80 years ago, and failed
then, and it would probably fail again.
Congress made an appropriation in
1855, and few years after sent del
egation to Egypt TO buy a cargo of
camels and droInedaries for use in the
southwest After many vicissitudes,
something like so of the animals were
safely landed in Texas A few of them
were bred and the herd slightly in
creased. They were used for a time in
transporting goods from San Antonio,
Texas, to New Mexico, but the propo-
sition was not successful The Civil
war came along, the camels were aban.
doned, and the herd disappeared. They
did not increase as did cattle and
horses released from captivity from
one time TO another.
During the late war Great Britain
used many camels successfully in the
regions of the Levant. and is still
breeding them and holding them for
purposes. Some Of our Amer
lean soldiers evidently came into con
tact with the camel herds of Britain
and saw that they were efficient in
that country and supposed they could
be proftably used in this country:
hence the proposition which is now
made TO import them. But he was not
familiar with history or he would have
known that the scheme had been tried
,nce before and failed.

Ukrainians Sign Agree
ment to Assist Gen.
Wrangel
TWO ARMIES WILL
MEET SHORTLY
Ukrainians Are Gradually
Working Their Way
SoutheastWard

Warsaw, Oct II (By the Associated
Press The Ukrainians, who are fight
ing to rid their country of the bolshe-
wiki, have signed an agreement to as
sist Gen. Wrangel, head of the South
Russian government. Plans are being
made for the two armies TO join soon,
and the Ukrainians are gradually
working their way to the southeast,
where Gen. Wrangel's anti bolshevik
forces are in conflict with soviet
armies.
Gen. Budenny, who is reported to
have been wounded before resigning
as commander of bolshevik cavalry, is
said to have established headquarters
at Minnica, southwest of kiev, where
he is organizing insurgent detachments
in the interests of Gen. Wrangel.
According to information received at
the headquarters of the Ukrainian
mission here, the Ukrainian soviet
government was transferred from Kiev
to Kharkov some days ago. Ukrainian
partisans, who had assembled in the
outskirts of the former city, immedi-
ately moved in, it is said, and took
over the affairs of the government. At
latest reports kiev remained in the
hands of these partissns.
Owing TO numerous bolsheviki raid
ing parties, operating west of kiey,
railroad communication between War
saw and that city has not as yet been
established. Soviet forces are psrtic-
ularly active in the Stare konstanti,
nov and Litichev and are attempting
to GUST the Ukrainians from that dis
trict, but the latter say they have re-
PEELED the bolsheviki. A Ukrainian cav
airy division recently broke the soviet
lines at Chmielnik, northeast of KAN
retz, Podolsk, and is now operating in
the rear OF the enemy, near Berdichey

Spaulding completed its first down and

Sordid Story OF 17-year-0Id
White Slave StartleS Council

ton over the child, and have kept
her all these years in restraint =
Those were the words of Mrs.
Elizabeth Kennedy, uttered last night
at the city council meeting. in sup
port of an earnest plea for the in
clusion of women welfare workers
as a part Of the police department Of
the city.
Mrs. Kennedy contended that girls
in distress will tell their tales only to
women, that they shrink from CON
fiding in men and hence, that the
condition Of appalling depravity
which she claims exists in parts of
the city, can be ameliorated only by
the creation Of q new office to be
filled by a woman. Mrs. Kennedy
made plain that she did not want the
office herself and would not assume
it, If it were pressed upon her, but
stated that a competent woman could
be found and pleaded eloquently fol
prompt action.
Immoral conditions in Butte are
TERRIBLE she said '"This one case
which I mention is but a sample OF
what is going on in the town There
are Greek dives and Italian dives
Chinese dives and, gentlemen of the
council, there are American dives
where the young Womanhood OF
America is being daily and nightly
destroyed.
"And the girls who are ruined by
contact with those places, come il
contact, in turn, with your daugh
