PARIS, March 23.-Football is made
compulsory in the French army in q
decree signed to-day by the Minister OF
War. Football henceforth is as much
part of the regular French army prac.
tice as field infantry drill.
The decree was the direct result OF
the experience Of an excellent football
team assembled this year by the French
army which by large margin defeated
the British army team. On the occa.
sion of the vittory President DeschaneI
personally congratulated every member
sf the French fifteen.
At a victory banquet Immediately
after the match General Bernard Her
rigny prophesied that within short
time sports will be compulsory in the
French army"
Football is the first sport to be made
compulsory on the infantrymen. Each
regimental section hereafter will have
it's own football team and there will be
matches among the battalions, regi-
ments and army corps.
AS every French youth passes
through the army and will be forced tc
play at the new game, it is probable
that France will become the greatest
"footballing" country in the world.
All commissioned officers will be ex.
pected to have enough knowledge of the
game to direct matches in which thei,
units are concerned. Even general.

Assembly Beats
Bill to Repeal
Daylight Law
Supporters Hope Measure
May Be Amended to Give
Cities the Option of En-
acting Saving Ordinances
From a Sta6 Correspondent

ALBANY, March 23.-Although the
Assembly to-day defeated the Belts
bill to repeal the daylight saving law,
it is expected the measure will be
amended to give cities the option of
enacting daylight saving in ordinances,
and later be passed in that form.
Assemblyman Charles H. Belts, the
introducer, had the vote by which the
bill was lost reconsidered and it was
laid on the table. The vote was 70 to
Cd. Seyenty-six votes are needed.
The Fowler bill in the Senate, which
is the same as the Belts bill, has been
amended and is now on the order of
final passage.
The objection to the Belts bill came
from the city members. the Democrats
voting solidly against it. 1t is be-
lievcd many of them will withdraw
their opposition if the right of cities
to pass their own ordinances on the
subject is put into the law.
The present state laws provide that
clocks shall be turned back an hour at
a. M. next Sunday.
announcements were maze yeStef-
day by most of the railroad lines op-
New York City that they would change
their train schedules to meet the re
quirements of the state daylight saw
ing schedule.
Suburban Train Schedules
In the case of suburban trains leav-
ing certain points for New York City,
the schedule for 5:15 p. m.> train
bound cityward will read 415, Eastern
standard time. this being 5:15 p. m.

westbound, will leave, by schedule, at
2:45 p. m. daily, Eastern standard
time, as at present, this being 3:45
p. m. New York City daylight saving
time. Also, the same train eastbound
will arrive at the Grand Central ter
mlnal at 9:45 a. m. Eastern standard
time, this being 1O:45 a. m. in the
local daylight saving time.
On the New Haven similar schedules
nave been arranged for twenty five
communication trains, which will be run
on Eastern standard time, as will all
through trains, but will be advanced
an hour for the benefit of the com
muters.
All Long Island trains will operate
on Eastern standard time, and the New
Jersey Central, Pennsylvania, Lacka-
wanna and Erie roads will do likewise.
Postoffice on Federal Time
The Interborough will begin sched-
ule Sunday morning conforming with
the new daylight saving scheme. It
was said the postoffice will remain on
Federal time.
Banks and exchanges in the financial
district are preparing to operate on the
new schedule. James A. Stillman,
chairman of the New York Clearing
House Committee, announced the oper-
ations at the Clearing House would be
transacted according to the daylight
saving schedule.
1t is expected the board of governors
of the Stock Exchange will take formal
action on the question to-day.
The Federal Court in Brooklyn will
convene on the new time.

Germans Bring
Story of Rutr
Riots to aris
Facts Related by Army En-

Allies in Solution of
Problems Due to Revolt

"ConyriEh. 1920. New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, March 23.-Two German
military envoys arrived in Paris to-
day and on the basis of the inforana-
tion they delivered to the French gov
ernment it is expected that solu-
tion will be reached in the various
international problems arising out of
the German revolution.
The two officers handed to the
French government full information
concerning conditions in the Ruhr
area, where the Spartacides hold
sway. What action the Allies or Ger
many, or both, should take in view of
the present situation is now the sub
Ject of discussion among the Allied
of1cials here. 1t has been pointed ont
to the German government that the
possession of the Ruhr valley by Ger
man troops, though these only belong
to the communist regime, technically
violates the terms of the peace treaty..
1T is said officially that France is not
willing to intervene alone in the Ruhr
district, although she is not opposed
to joint allied intervention.
According to the latest news from
the Rhine district, the Spartacide rule
has not by any means paralyzed the
country The tramways are running
and the people are working under the
sovlets almost as usual.
According to some reports, 100000
Spartacide troops are holding the dis
trlct, but the best information is that
the forces number between 10000 and
10000. Nevertheless, the overturning
of the Spartacide regime will probably
prove to be something of a task.
The French government, while recog-
nizing the necessity of taking action in
the Ruhr district, dislikes the present
procedure of the German government
IN seeking to reduce the Spartacides
by siege tactics. 1t was said in French
circles to-day that no authorization had
been given Germany to pursue her plan
of operation against the Spartacides in
the zone which was declared disarmed
by the Versailles pact
Coincident with the rise to power of
the Spartacides in the Ruhr area the
government in Berlin is showing
marked weakness. The compromise an
nounced yesterday with the resignation
of Gustav Noske, Minister of Defense
and the orientation toward the Left
appears not to have solved completely
the problem at hand. Both the extreme
radicals and the conservative elements
retained in the Cabinet are dissatis-

PARIS, March 23.-The Polish army
has taken the offensive against the
Bolsheviki in the Baltic region and has
captured several thousand prisoners,
according to advices received here to-
day. Besides breaking up the concen-
trations of soviet troops on the Polish
frontier, the disorganization in the
BolslHevik ranks has made impossible

communication issued to-day announces
that after the greatest artillery prep

infantry advanced in columns against
the bridge-head at Zwiehel, aided by
tanks and armored motor cars. "After
sharp engagement" says the COM
munication, "the Polish troops launched
counter-attack with bayonets and
hand grenades, driving the enemy far
from the Polish line.
"Ihe Poles attacked the 7th Boil

offensive in the sector Of Emilozen, and
compelled the enemy to retreat easter
ly, abandoning his batteries, horses,
ammunition carts and machine guns -
On the Podolian front the Bolsheviki
have attacked Nowasieniawke, La
tyczaw and Novoconstantinow and the
sector southwest of Deranza. Heavy
fighting followed these attacks, which
were preceded by artillery prepara-

Carpenter Has First Fight
In y. S. With Pier Crowds

Georges Carpenter, idol of France
and heavyweight champion of Europe,
arrived here yesterday with his bride
and had his first battle with the crowds
when he stepped from the pier at Fiji
teenth Street and Hudson River, where
the French liner La Savoie docked. He
intends to tour the country, star in
movies and eventually to meet Jack
Dempsey for the championship of the
world. Hundreds of persons crowded
about him to see what manner of man
the much heralded fighter was.
: His weather-tanned face is drawn and
thin. Straight, tawny hair, sunburned as
straw~long exposed to the weather, is
brushed back smoothly. His eyes are
greenish blue and his lashes long.
From the tip Of his broken nose to the
top of his wrinkled forehead his profile,
except for slight bulge Of brow, is a
straight. slanting line. Clad in skill
fully cut Clothes, he appears unformid-
able, almost delicate.
The average New York Green car
conductor probably would welcome
trouble with him as with fop and
utter fighting words without waiting
to be reinforced by the motorman and

The capricious sly young widow

away up to Boise on Caldwell's busy
DAYS to see the surgeon about getting
a berth in his office next spring will

If the said cordial widow is so Heay-

Birds Have Right Of Way.

Fowl have the right of way in air,
warns the director of military aero
nautics. This is justice indeed, since
birds flew first.
But this is not all. Recently many
towns along the Atlantic coast have
been visited with dead bird showers.
Aviators flying by town would see
flock of wild fowl coming their way.
They would set their machine guns
and let the bullets fly.
Presently prominent citizen walk
ing below would be hit with large,
bloody bird. He complained to the
town, and the town complained to the
department of agriculture. Then the
federal migratory bird law between
the United States and Great Britain
was referred to, and 1t was found that
shooting birds from airplanes Is un'
lawful.

If so. he would have read in Chap

spection of the right shoulders of rams
which have been stripped of tseir
flesh, and not roasted but boiled, can
discover future events, or those which
have passed and remained long un

opportunities Offered in Abyssinia Are
by No Means Likely to Be Long
Overlooked.

After his visit to the United States
one of the Abyssinian visitors admit
ted that he knew now why there were
no Americans in Abyssinia. As he had
seen him at home, the American, so
the stranger from Abyssinia decided,
is not given to slow and tedious travel
ing. He wants to get about quickly
and Abyssinia, with nothing faster
than a pack mule, offers no induce
ments of rapid transportation. That
1t seems" said the Abyssinian, "has
kept the American man out OF our
country. 1t is too bad. We need
bridges like yours, we need streets like
yours. and we need men like yours TO
direct the building of them" CONNER
cially and industrially, however, the
truth probably is that Abyssinia has
not been discovered" and when that
happens the American man will come
and build his own rapid ransporta-
ton. The mere statement that the
capital, Adds Abbeba, is city OF
some 10000 inhabitants and no rail-
way connection with the outside world
is temptation.-Chr Science

HOW i EARNED MONEY
FOR THRIFT STAN

Last summer l wanted money tC
buy Thrift Stamps. so I decided tc
try to earn some.
Being only twelve years old
had never earned or saved money.
My father was paying one and
one fourth cents for having apple
boxes made. / made two hundred
eighty boxes thus earning three dol
lars and fifty cents. 1 bought four
teen Thrift Stamps.
l was much encouraged by this.
l then got a job packing apples, a
very short one as there was only one
car load to pack. l worked two days
and here made one dollar and fifty
cents. I bought Thrift Stamps with
this also. now had twenty stamps
in all, enough TO fill my card and
four for another. I turned my card
in for a War Saving Stamp.
My father had a large crop of ap-
pies, and as my mother had a good
many persons to cook for l helped
her in the house. l earned three dol
lars. This bought enough stamps tc
finish filling out my card. This
also turned in for War Saving
Stamp.
Next year I want to earn more
money as I have learned sometime
of the value of money and the value
of saving.
