LONDON, October 25.-Publication
of a foreign office document sup
posedly revealing red MOSCOW plo'
against Great Britain startled the
public today.
The document included the text of
an alleged letter marked very
secret from NJ. Zinovieff. president
of the Executive of the Communist
International. to the central com
mittee of the British Communist
party, containing in the words OF the
foreign office, instructions TO BRUSH
subjects to work for the violent over

country and for the subversion OF MS
maiesty's armed forces as means
to that end
A communication from the foreign
office to the Russian charge d aHalres'
NJ. Rakovsky, calls attention to the
alleged Zinovieff letter and protests
against this ''Violation'o of the speclnc
and solemn undertakings repeatedly
given to his majesty's government.
The foreign office letter was signed
by ]. d. Gregory, one of the per-
manent officials, in the absence OF
Premier Macdonald, who is also
foreign minister.
Publication of the letters has
aroused curiosity as to why the crltl-
cal moment of an election campaign
was chosen for their issuance. The
opponents of the government whether
conservative or liberal, contend that
the reason for the dramatic appear
ance of the correspondence was that

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 25.-
Vital problems of the War Depart
ment in carrying out the natic>al de-
fense act were frankly discussed d in a
prepared address here today by Brig.
Gen. Dennis e. Nolan, deputy chief of
the general staff, one of the principal
speakers on the program of the an
nual convention of the Reserve Off
GERS Association.
War Department estimates for 1926,
now under discussion with the Budget
Bureau. he disclosed, call for 1885,
$50 for the support of the reserve
project" which is $715,00O more than
the 1925 figure, and would provide Is
days training for 10000 reserve Off
GERS, exclusive Of National Guard
officers who also hold reserve commits
sions.
Progress made thus far in the civil
ian training work prescribed by the
defense act, Gen. Nolan said. has been
possible only because of supplies left
over from the war, some of which
have been exhausted. Considering the
progressive reductions in War De-
partment appropriations since 1922, he
added, little room is left for tighten
ing up economic administration in the
department.
More Money Needed.
IF we are to make progress instead
of stagnating." he said, "our only So
luton Is to obtain increased appro-
2riations, not all at once, but by
gradual increments year by year
War-made stocks now in reserve
will be unreliable after 1888, accord
ing to experts. he continued, and the
question OF providing for the neces-
sary minimum reserve, which would
cost approximately $4,000, 900. must
be faced.
One solution to be suggested to
Congress, he declared, calls for an
nual appropriations OF SI7,OOOOOO
over a 20-year period
Gen. Nolan also advocated enact
ment of a selective service system for
use in wartime. The national defense
act, he said. provided everything that
can be done in peace under a voiun-
tary system" but was silent as to the
war status.

LONDON, October 25.-Maj. Beat-

whose meeting at Gardiffaith, Wales,
was broken up last night, received
serious injuries, necessitating his
cancellation of further engagements
during the campaign. The melee
followed a similar affair the previous
night in which a woman was stabbed.
In connection with the outbreaks
of rowdyism, which are seemingly
as the campaign reaches
pre-balloting heat, it is pointed out
in Labor circles that the leaders of
that party are united in condemning
such tactics. In many cases the out

BROWNIES AND
 AGGIES TIE, O-O

BROWNSVILLE, Ala, Nov. IA Especial. )-Doc Newton's Jones Val ley Brownies swarmed down on Blounts- vile this afternoon and held the heavy loyal eleven to a scoreless draw in a spectacular battle in which both teams threatened their opponents goal line rather seriously but without success.
 The Aggies pounded the Brownies line hard and often successfully, while the lighter Brownies retaliated with for ward passes and open plays of the more spectacular variety.
 The locals marched down to the o. yard marker in the first half, but there were stopped by the visiting clan. It was the Aggies' chief threat of the game.
 Jones Valley blocked punt in the second half, and with two forward passes neared the Aggie goal line, only to be stopped. Again in the final few minutes, Bingham intercepted a pass and the Brownies completed two more With the ball on the three-yard line Fox made two yards and then the final whistle blew.

NOTRE DAME TO
 FACE NEBRASKA
Illinois And Chicago Are Doped To Win
 Contests
lRx Associated Press. ]

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Notre Dame, after curshing every team played tnls season, meets its annual Neoraska jinx at South Bend tomorrow in the outstanding game of the west, although Illinois and Chicago, in contests with the conference rivals, will attract con- siderable attention, in their attempt to roll up victories and remain in the western conference championship race.
 Illinois, ranking favorite to capture the 1924 Big Ten" title, will meet Minnesota at Minneapolis, while Chi cago will have northwestern as its opponent at Stagg Field. The Gophers are all keyed up for their clash with Illinois, but since their tie with Ames a week ago are not regarded as formid- able contenders against the super-1li- nois eleven.
 The icago-Northwestern game, the experts figure, probably will result in an easy victory for Stagg's warriors, who are looking forward to the import ant game with Wisconsin at the close of the season week later. North westerns hopes of victory received big setback last week when Michigan rolled up a top-heavy score against the Purple.
 Nebraska, which upset Notre Dame's claims to the football honors of the nation last year by beating the Hoosi- CTS, is prepared to give Coach Rockne's men the battle of the season. Nebraska has been preparing for two weeks for this contest and hopes to repeat it's triumph of 1928, when the Hooisers travelled to Lincoln, only to have the Nebraska forward wall tear their line to pieces, smearing the great backfield of Rockne's before it could get started. Although Notre Dame has won impress sively in all it's starts this season, these victories have not indicated to Coach Rockne that his warriors can beat Nebraska, which always has proved a j1nx to the Nutre Dame eleven. The game will be witnessed by a capacity crowd of 26,000 persons.
 Michigan will play Ohio State in their annual "grudge" battle at Columbus, before probable attendance of 75,OOO, the largest crowd ever to witness a game in the midwest. Indiana sprung a big surprise by beating the Buck eyes a week ago and Michigan, unde- feated, except for the clash with Illi- nois, is expected to do the same thing, but if Ohio fights with their characteri- stic spirit, the Wolverine eleven will face tough afternoon.
 Iowa and Wisconsin, both out of the conference race, will collide at Madi- son in home coming game. The con- test promises to be a battle royal with the heavier Hawkeyes as favorite.
 Indiana will meet Wabash at Bloom ington, while Purde will take a day off in preparation for the final game of the season next Saturday.

ALABAMA RATS
 DEFEAT AGGIES

UNIVERSITY, Ala, Nov. 14.-(Spe- cial)-A touchdown scored by the Ala bama Freshmen in the opening min utes .of the game was their margin of victory over the Mississippi A and M Freshmen here today. Browns 25-yard skirt around one end, followed by Hammers 20-yard run around the oth- CT end and hard raps at the line by Vines, carried the ball over. Hammer kicked goal.
 The Alabama Frosh kept the Aggies yearlings on the defensive most of the first half, scoring first downs to their two. Sweeping end runs by Brown and Hammer, coupled with plunges at the center of the line netted their gains. The Aggies showed two good ends in Faountain and Craft, but these to men could not combat the strong interference that the Baby Crimsons used. The yearlings blocked as the Crimson Tide has their games. Follow ing Hammers touchdown, an exchange of punts resulted in Hammer recovering a tumble on the N-yard line. A Bama back fumbled and an Aggie recovered and punted out of danger as the half ended. The second half was devoid of thrills--IThe Aggies' Frosh came back stronger and made two marches down the field that were stopped by the Crimsons. Ljttleton, Dickson and Reeves were ploughing through the line and skirting ends in threatening fashion, but the final punch seemed lacking. Alabama's victory today was her fourth successive, in four starts. She has one more game to play, one scheduled to be played in Winter Park, Fla, against Rollins College freshmen.

 The trusty toe and generalship of 'Ham" Stevens also put the Majors at odds often through the first three periods. Stevens had shade on Harris in punts, as the Major backs seemed unable to catch the. ball in the ar: Stevens punts gained an average Of 45 wards each. Harris averaged slight ly over 40 yards. And that finish, such a finish, to thrill a hometown crowd and send a roofing aggregation into ecs- tasics. It was all there stalwart de fense, excellent generalship, long gains through the line. Breath-taking passes which the Majors rushed to clean and some broken field running were featured in that final 15 minutes in cut victory.
 Majors Played Best
 In round gaining the Majors were superior making 15 first downs to their

 Howard was unable to gain consist ently in the second quarter though late in the period registered a first down after a pass, Stevens to Scokel gained eight yards.

MACON, Ga., Nov. 14.-The tough side of the Mercer Bear proved impervi- ous to the swish of the Florida Alliga- tors tail here this afternoon and the Georgians defeated the Globe Trotters from the Everglades, 10 to o.
 The game rendered 5000 ofNthe $500 persons at the contest just short of the hysteria stage.

 The Mercer victor takes rank with out argument as another of the upsets that have made this season of football miracles. The Bears went into the game a decided long shot. The Alligators, be
