deep anguish that their boys were not

Anyway, meeting was scheduled
for Manassas Junction with Beaure-

handy site, just south Of Washing

wives rode out by carriage and horse
back to watch the contest from ring
side seats. Before long they were
complaining to high heaven that the
soldiers were blocking their view.
This outrage continued all day. The
soldiers blocked the Congressmen's
view, and the Congressman got in the
soldiers way as they returned to
Washington on the dead run. 1t seems
that McDowell's boys were big, but
green. Scott and Mcdowell had men,

paid any attention to them.

YEW YORK. Dec, 2.-The Con-

n EW 1OHk, Dec, 2.-The Con-
gress Of the United States is
a fine, outstanding body Of men
much against its will The
trouble is, the Congressman do not
want to stand up. They want to rest
their weary dogs, and therefore they
have adopted new congressional slo-
gan: Down in 'front.'"
I'm afraid we have got the makings
OF very ugly football scandal on our
hands in this connection. 1t involves
the West Point Cadet Corps Hitherto,
the cadets have been above suspicion,
but now it develops that, by standing
on their grandtsand seats at the Army
Navy football game, and thus forcing
the Congressman to stand up also, in
order to see the game, they have in
duced an epidemic of bunions that
threatens to devastate the House of
Representatives and open the way to
revolution and anarchy.
Take the last Army Navy game at
Philadelphia, for instance:
1T was the most ungentlemanly ex-
albltion I've seen in long time" de-
poses Representative Sam Hobbs,
Democrat, of Alabama. Many Con-
gressmen left early because they
couldn't see. Members and their wives
are urging drastic discipline.
THE next time they ought to put
the cadets in the back rows"
Might Be Sent to Congress-.
That's one suggestion. Another is
that the Congressman be sent to study
at West Point, where they can get the
best seats, while the cadets 70 to Con-
gress and pass laws and get corns on
their feet watching the Army-Navy
game. That would teach them man
ners. In fact, it would be body blow
to the spirit of military muckerism.
Remember the Junkers of Germanv2
This menace has got to be STAMPED
out right away, before the cream of o1r
public service is laid on its ear with
athletes foot.
There are two possible consequences
OF the bunion peril, namely:
(a) Congressmen may start an
pointing shorter cadets to West Point
(b) They may not appoint any
cadets at all.
The first plan seems pretty feas-
ible. Representative Sam Hobbs of
Alabama could scout around his ter
ritory until he finds a youth about
S feet l inch in length over all. Bv

FORCE
REBELS FROM
MADRID FRONT
Trenches There Inundated;
Civilians Still Stream
From Capital

MADRID, Jan. 20. (UP).-Loy-
alist forces last night frightened
their grip on ,shell-torn Madrid
after floods forced attacking reb-
els to abandon inundated trenches.
While the worst weather in
years retarded rebel operations
non-combatants continued to leave
the capital.
The defense Junta announced
that 100000 persons, including
100, 900 children, have fled during
the last three weeks. The evacua-
ton was compulsory.
Officials said that 500 children,
after living through six months of
war horror in Madrid, have arriv-
ed safely in Valencia, Barcelona
and other cities. Many were sent
to relatives in France.
Loyalists said that by occupy
ing West Park they have frustrat-
ed rebel advance through the
ruins of strategic University City.
Madrid militiamen, sloshign
through mud along the banks OF
the OVERLOOKING Manzanares river,
seized West Park without firing Il
shot.
Flooded rivers, pouring their
waters into the Madrid valley, fill
ed insurgent trenches and paralyz-
ed movements of supplies from
rebel bases.
The defense Junta said capture
of the mile-long park gave it COM
plete domination of the strategic
sector between the Avenida Prin-
cipal or University City and
Frenchman's bridge, above the
Casa de Campo.
Wintry weather, the worst that
Spain has known in many years,
gripped the entire peninsula. Biz
yards ragged around the insurgent
base at Avila and across the Gre
dos and Guadarrama mountains. ,
Rains and flooded lowlands held
up the rebel drive on Malaga, key
loyalist seaport on the Mediter-
ranean.
