ARMY DOWNS NAVY 17-14.
West Pointers Score First Triumph
Over Middies In Four Years.

lphia.-Playing true to their
seasons form, the Army football
eleven defeated its old rival, the Navy
on Franklin Field Saturday by the
score of II to IA, in one of the hardest
and cleanest gridiron struggles seen
on the Pennsylvania field in a long
time. The score represented two
touchdowns for the Navy, all of them
hard earned. The Midshipmen were
not without honor in defeat, for they
played game that was worthy of any
team that has come out of Annapolis
in years.
Entering the game with the West
Pointers as the favorites, the Annap-
oils players fought their way to the
front and only went under after a
most bitter struggle, with their colors
flying. At the end the 2,4O0 Midship-
men in the north stand cheered the
Army almost as vociferously as they
did their own sterling team.

EXPLAINING THE PANIC.
Yet. oddly enough. there seemed
to be no precise cause for the
panic on the Bourse. which In q
week had haivsd the value of the
whole Austrian currency. The
nearest thing I could get to a pre-
else explanation was q typical
Viennese joke-someone suggested
that moths had got into the Gobe-
Inns tapestries, the one movable
asset which Austria had to pawn.
In fact, the collapse Of the ex-
change was the effect of a long
course Of pessimistic reasoning. It
began when the rather capable.
ncn-poiitical ministry Of Herr scho-
Der fell from office Immediately
after the Genoa conference. The
new combination Of clericals with
Pan Germans" (as the anti-clerI-
cal middie-ciass party IL rather
unfairly called inspired little con-
fidence In anyone.

and at one time a professor, is a
man OF considerable ability. q pupil
Of the Liberal Catholic pacifist,
LAmmasch. and by far the most
tolerant and sympathetic figure in
his narrow. reactionary and anti.
Semitic party.
But the storm seemed too fierce
for his habitual tactics of suavity
and faith. In the opening debates
IL was only too clear that he had
no policy whatever. He insisted
on economies. But before the week
was out he had consented to double
the unemployed dole. and the only
thing to be said about that. is that
doubling II. when the crown fell
TO half. meant merely keeping It
at the old inadequate figure.
The next event was a demand
FOR q vote on account to cover the
expenses Of the next three months,
Of three times the estimated fig.
ure. A vote on account means In
Austria an order to print bank
noteaL - ..-... ...s.
Here was enough to set pessi.
mism in active motion. There was
just one hope. the usual hope, Of
foreign credits. But as the news
came through day by day from
Paris, OF the French opposition
which ultimately frustrated the
project Of a bankers loan to Ger
many. the faint hope that Austria
might fare better began to fade
away. -.
