Army Looms Tough
for Navy, and Lion
Will Roar Plenty

IF CONGRESS were in session
right now the duty Of all humane
and forward looking taxpayers
would be quite plain. Letters could
be rushed to the guardians OF the
public purse urging that Navy forth
with be provided with six battle
ships, dozen cruisers and as many
submarines as any little admiraPs
heart desires.
Of course that would cost pretty
penny but it would be worth it. This
is nation which yearns to keep its
bluff seadogs happy and greatly
fear nc other sop will be quite so
effective in easing the discomfort
which must settle upon Annapolis
sooner than usual this season.
| mention this as the result OF
viewing Army in some of its recent
football enterprises. The Cadets
seemed far better than they have
seemed in any early recent season.
What Is more the line--the runt,
right guard Kimbrell, stands six
feet and weighs ITS pounds-has
such a sheer, raw abundance OF
power that even a Pitt coach would
be aWed at the sight.
Naturally Gar Davidson's team Is,
at the moment, far from a smoothly
functioning machine. General Per-
shing had that same trouble at the
start OF the World war when he was
tossed 5000, 900 stalwart youngsters
and stacked up against outfits which
had been practicing for years.
But the power and the reserves are
there-where they mean the most in
| f0otball-and it remains only to be
seen whether proper plays can be
provided along with backs to exc
| cute them.

good passer and he was better ia
vored than his equally able oppo-
nent, Sid Luckman, in having sky
scraping wings to grab his losses.
Then, too, his coaches seemed to
have stressed this aerial prepare
ton more than did the Columbia
mentors who provided a better bal
anced attack.
In the second period, for instance,
the way was paved for the tying
touchdown by means OF an aerial
connection with Wilson standing on
the line. On this play one side of
the line stays in position until the
ball is tossed to the receiver, then
forms for interference down the
field. Greasy Neale has been using
1t at Yale for several scasons-in-
deed the Ellis scored touchdown
Against Cornell with 1t.
It is not. 1t merely is few de-
grees and seconds removed from
the border line where Illegally be-
gins. Like that short, rifle toss over
the line-frst used in proper win
ming style by w. and j. years ago
and again properly handled by Mey-
er and Hips in time of need.
Defcnsively Army made mistakes
in mechanics as we'll as in cere-
bration-which could very well lose
late season games. 1t Is probable
such defects can be remcdicd within
another game or two. The real
weakness right now exists in the
backfeld and there can be some
wonder it was not long ago noted
that Strombcrg at right end has
more real driving power than any
Cadet ball carrier.

Insure More Mortgages

Contrary to seasonal trends, res

ministration on new construction
during September showed a rise of
l478 per cent over the same month

August, 1896, Deputy Administrator

Mortgages approved for insurance
last month on new homes totaled
1928, $50 against 1857, 78s in the
previous month and $7,370,5 24 in
September a year ago.
Last months figure for all types
of mortgages accepted was the sec

FILA began functioning, reaching
S44, 1885, 900 on ll,l74 items, Mr..
Flanders pointed out. The only
higher month was last June, when
the total was $50, 1855, 258. The rise
for all types Of FILA insured loans
over the same month a year ago
was s23. OBJ, SOP, or 1892 per cent.
One of the chief causes for the
upturn was held to be the increas-

NATIONAL,
CAPITAL

Washington.-The dollar, backed
by sl0,985. 900, 900 gold reserve, is
the keystone of the new Anglo
French-American system for stabil-
izing currency exchanges.
The Treasury department, work
ing out technical details of the tri-
power monetary agreement, said a
selling price for gold would be an
nounced only by the United States.
Although gold will flow freely be-
tween the sterilization funds of all
three nations, France and England
will keep their selling prices secret,
treasury officials announced.
The American price remained at
S35 per fine ounce, though it may
be changed on tWenty-four hours
notice if necessary to protect in
ternal prosperity.
When America buys gold from
Great Britain or France, Treasury
authorities said, the price will be
arrived at by private negotiation.
II bullion is purchased from the
British sterilization fund, they sug-
gested, the price probably will be
close to the current quotation on
the London free gold market, oper-
ated by private dealers.
In the case of France, they said,
there is no definite indication at
what price sales might be arranged.
France has no free gold market,
and has not yet fixed an exact basis
for its devalued franc. Recent
French action merely cut the value
of the currency somewhere between
rs and 81 per cent.

UIlOlIlc1dl 1lRureS In financial
circles indicated from $5OO,OOO 900
to 81 ,000, 100000 may be pared from
the previously estimated deficit of
$4,000, 100000 for the 1897 fiscal
year.
Most of the reduction will come
from increased revenues through
income tax collections, both in
dividual and corporation, officials
expect.
Acting Budget Director Daniel
w.. Bell started putting final touch
eS on his mid-year revision of the
budgetary outlook, which is ex-
pected to be made public within
the next few days.
Optimistic predictions came in
the face of a revelation that the
federal government now is spend
ing approximately SO for each So
it spent last year in relief activ-
tiles.
The deficit for the 1884 fiscal
year was 5000 ,0O0, 900; in 1885, $4,-
869,000,000; in 1886, $4,763 100000
and previously estimated $3,-
OUO,0O0,O0O Tor the present year.
The 1886 figure includes bonus
payments of $1,773, 100000.
This years original estimate was
made on the basis of the presi-
dents budget message to congress,
which forecast that the govern
ment would be "in the red' about
81 900, 100000 but did not take into
account SLABS 100000 in relief and
about $600,000000 in veterans
bonus expenditures.
Despite the loss of the AAA pro-
cessing taxes, which were estimat-
ed to yield $547, 100000 this year,
federal government revenue is
running ahead of last year and
ahead of previous estimates.
Against this, expenses for run
ming regular activities of the gov
ernment totalled $614,016,48O, an
increase of $41,OOO,OO0 over last
year.
