CLOSE GALL

The Apaches and Mohawks didn't
have football matters their own way
yesterday. Indeed, the District un.
limited champions were pushed to
the limit to take q 1875 victory over
Fort Leonard, while the Mohawks
gained 4 shallow go win over the
Northerns. Loyal supporters Of both
teams braved the raw weather to
see the games.
.sMuggsy willy, said to be q As
year old guard, was a tower OF
strength for the Soldiers. The old
gent stopped many an Apache bali
carrier dead In his tracks. The
little Indians' had a deal Of trou-
bile in downing the Doughboys as
the first half ended in a 6-6 tie.
The Apacf1es pushed across a
marker In the second quarter when
Matt Twomey swept around end for
ten yards. His drop-kick try for the
extra point was unavailing. The
Soldiers knotted the score in this
period when the Tankers arched
down the field for a touchdown.

WOMAN PREACHER
PLEADS FOR PEACE
.Maude Royden Avoids Mod

for Better Understanding.

Avoiding cOmpanionate marriage.
smoking. drinking and other subjects
which have stirred criticism of her in
this county, Maude Royden. London's
noted woman preacher. made an elO-
quent plea for a better understanding
between England and America in an
address before an audience that packed
the auditorium Of All Souls Unitarian
Church last night.
Miss Royden. whose scheduled lee
lures in Boston and Chicago were cam
celed recently, spoke under the auspices
of the international League for Peace
and Freedom, of which she is men,
Der, Mrs. Hanna Clothier Hull Of
SWarthmOre. Pa. national chairman of
the league, presided at the meeting.
Plan Up to Anglo -Saxons.
Declaring that if world peace is ever
to be achieved it must be brought about
by the Anglo-Saxons. Miss Royden urged
patience" in this country with the
mistakes of her own. Speaking of the
problem of war debts, she said the mis-
understanding between this country ana
England had come when Americans saw
Great Britain and European countries
spending huge sums for armament soon
after the war was over.
III you had not sailed 1000 miles
away to country which is still in
vulnerable. you too might not have
acted with the best wisdom" she as
serted, She said she did not attempt
to Justify Great Britain's attitude in
the case OF debts she only urged
Americans to understand.
Navy Close to British.
On the subject of disarmament she
pleaded with her hearers TO realize
that the British Navy is very close to
the hearts of the English people She
said she realized that the United States
could outbuild England any time il
made up its mind To do so. but that
the average Englishman doesn't believe
anything ever can approach his navy
Quoting Lord Grays declaration that
English statesmen are without foresight
and lacking imagination. but uniquely
able to understand and to profit by
their mistakes" Miss Royden pleaded
with her audience to take the trouble
to understand" the English point of
view. The two countries, she said. have
the same ideals of liberty. justice. peace
and friendship, and are in a position TO
assume the moral leadership of the
world.
The desire for peace is present in
every nation. but the political genius
of the Anglo Saxon makes it their duty
TO make world peace possible" she said
