Grafton, N. d., March 16.-For a

bearing the name of Schedel, whose
present home is in. Indianapolis

Darlington, N. D., March TO-
No law authorizes a city to vote
tax to support a band, according
to James Morris, city attorney,
who has perused the statutes since
the movement to maintain a band
by taxation was suggested.
Tuesday evening the American
legion boys voted 500 from their
treasury to form the nucleus for a
81 900 fund, the estimated cost of
maintaining the band a year. The
legion's donation is contingent on
the balance of the $1,000 being
raised from other sources. The le-
gion will also name a committee to
work with other committees to try
to put the band support fund over.

Geneva, March 16.-Closing the
NEST important meeting in its his

ted to be a constructive move Of
great Significance for future har-
mony in Europe, the League of
Nations council adjourned Satur-
day night after expressing sin

ing to Germany's position IN the
world.
If the council was unable to APP
prove Germany's request for an ex-
ceptional place in connection with
the obligations imposed by the
covenant, it did, by voicing the
above sentiment. pay her great
and unprecedented honor, for no
other country has ever been bid to
take a seat in the League and a
place around the council table
Everybody agrees that Germany
can have a permanent seat in the
council.
First Word to Germany
Saturdays action is deemed sig
nificant because it represent the
first word addressed to Germany
by the Allies on a basis o. perfect
equality. Germans here following
the council proceedings are openly
pleased at the phrascology of the
letter which the council has sen!
to the Berlin government.
Though the document fails to
share Berlin's views that because
of her enfeebled military condition
she is exempt from the sanctions
duty fixed by the covenant. The
hope was expressed tonight that
the conciliatory tone of the note
will enable Germany to find road
leading to the League which does
not involve sacrificing either hel
national pride or what she con.
ceives to be her national interests
The next act in the international
play, the desired climax in which is
the discovery of solution to the
great problem of security, will be
presented at Paris, for thithel
many statesmen are bound to con

RACE BETTING TABOO,
ROUSES COUNTY FAIR

LAUREL, Ind, Oct. 17.-Racing
on ell tracks in Maryland is in dan
ger of elimination because the Mary
land Racing Commission refused a
three-county association the privilege
of permitting race bets. Robert Nj.
Williams. president of the association.
today announced that the whole struc-
turc of law under which racing grew
up in this state will be tested, if nee
cssary. in the Supreme Court OF the
United States.
Litigation, already has been begun
in Prince Georges county TO force the
racing commission to grant the asso-
citation the right TO sponsor bets.
If we lOse," said Williams. we
are going to appeal to the highest
court power to see whether the racing
commission can permit betting under
the sponsorship of out-of-tOwn gam
blcrs and deny it to legitimate coun-
ty fair"
Williams charged that the racing
commission is merely an adjunct OF
politics. The Laurel race track, he
asserts, is run for the benefit of its
owner. a New York sportsman.
Failing in the courts, Williams said
! the directors will attack all race track
betting, to force showdown. Leaders
in the movement believe they can en-
list sufficient support in the countic
to force action in the Legislator

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-There's a
pretty football game on at the Yankee
Stadium here today, providing the
footing is good. between fast and
brilliant Army eleven and knute
Rockne's Notre Dame team. a team
that has not yet struck the formidable
opposition that it will encounter here.
This years cadet team, judged from
4 glimpse of late afternoon prac-
ticc, is one of the fastest. shiftiest
and best conditioned. albeit not the
heaviest. in the last five years.
1t is playing the most modern of
football against an eleven from South
Bcrd that always flashes fire. There
are stars in the making on both
clevcns, and, in the case of West
Point, stars with past excellent rec
ords. who, none the less. have been
made over TO some extent since their
arrival up the Hudson.
Too much has been made. 7 think. Of

not always certain that the former
star will fit into his surrounding. The
impression ] got Of this years eleven
that goes into action Saturday. is
that of n team built up of combina-
ton of excellent local products who
have been developed by Captain Nc
EVAN and his coaching staff. and men
with past collegiate experience who
have cast in their lot with the Army
whole heartedly and effectively.
LOSSES IN LINE.
Both teams have lost by graduation
some of the best men on the field. inc
Army has had difficulty in rebuilding
the middle of the line, and digging NJ
a punter to succeed Wood. NOtrc
Dame has lost so heavily all along
the lire that it required the early
games at South Bend to prove that
Rockne still had his system in full
swing, and was by way of turning out

strengthen it period by period. that
while not as good perhaps as the IA

would give an excellent account OF IT.
