tion renews the troops' oaths and re
fets to demands made by certain of- |
Ibers as contis.ry to the Cuuxiliutlou
and supremo rights of the Khalifat;
exhorts the army not to mix In poll
tics, but to devote Itself exclusively
to the defense of the country.
The proclamation concludes by
pointing out that the oirteer?' trea?
sonable attitude hau ehcouitiged Wie
enemy to threaten the capital; that
the enemy dared last night to ap?
proach to the gales ut the cap lal.
This should constitute a warning.
Tho proclamation was provoked by
u meeting of ullleer? at the war cf
llce which delegated Naslm Pasha <n<?

Mic/uld ono of these games he loi-t it
Is almost a certainty that tho Battlo
Axe will win out. Winning both games
is going to bo by no means an easy
job, as Canopa, tlie star of tho Gray-,
lias been reinstated by the amateur
commission and will certainly lliug
one if not both contests, dr. Bogby
will start Snooks TreVllian In the first
game with Dunn following, provided
the youngster's hand, which was In?
jured in practice does not bother him.
While it is popularly believed that
the. ?inner In the Capital City League
will be the city champions, this Is by
no means a certainty. The Barton
Heights team, in tho Old Dominion
1.,-ague. is going to put up a strong
tight. That club Is a certain winner
in Its league, und will undoubtedly (jo
? net the winner n the Sapltal City,
Regardless of which should win. Wash?

repeating the victory of last season lit
the intercity series.
Still another game which Is goln^ to
