Sfcpply Nation with Ex
citement This Fall.
San Francisco, Aug. 30.—Army,
navy and marine corps football games
will largely take the place of the
usual intercollegiate contests in cen
tral California this fall, San- Francisco'
sports writers assert. The rallying of
college students to the various
branches of American fighting forces
may leave the institutions without
even nuclei for football squads, al
though the University of California,
before the opening of the fall semes
ter, now has a full schedule of games.
The opening of the University of
Banta Clara last week has renewed in
terest in the question as to whether
Rugby will still be played. Stanford
Up to the present time has firmly re
Tused to drop the game adopted from
the English and the Stanford-Santa
Clara matches of the past two years
have been the only intercollegiate
games of Rugby in the United States.
Through President Ray Lyman
Wilbur, Stanford definitely announced
last spring the abandonment of inter
collegiate athletics until after the war.
This apparently ends the possibility of
college Rugby games, and, as the
Santa Clara university officials are
said to oppose strongly a change back
to the American game,' it is expected
to put Santa Clara out of the athletics
at least until the spring semester.
The proposed new draft ages of 18
to 45 years will take practically all
male students from the universities
and colleges, if no exemptions are
given pending completion of the edu
cations of the students. Secretary of
War Newton Baker stated his opposi
tion to such exemption as undemo
cratic, the other day, and this tends
support to the common belief that
there will be no able, bodied students
from which even nominal teams might
be made.
The University of California ath
letic directors have a football schedule
all made, games being programmed
with Universities of Washington and
Oregon, Washington state college and
other*institutions of the northwest.
U. C. men, it is said, plan to carry the
schedule through if they can possibly
find a way.
St Mary's college, which made ar
excellent showing in the 1917 footbal!
season, is considered by sports expert:
here to be entirely out of the running
The students have nearly all volun
teered or have been drafted and the
burning of the buildings some time
ago placed an additional hardship on
the institution.
Lieutenant Newton Best,' who is
again athletic director for the United
States marines at Mare Island, is al
ready planning for the fall football
season and preliminary schedules of
games'with army and navy camps are
expected shortly. Stars formerly seen
on college gridirons will clash this
year as representatives of branches of
the military service.
FINAL ROUND SATURDAY.
Chicago, Aug. 30.—Miss Frances
Hadfleld of Milwaukee will meet Miss
Elaine Rosenthal of Chicago in the
final round tomorrow for the women's
western golf championship at Indian
Hill.
Miss Hadfleld eliminated Miss Cor
ella Lukens of Chicago, 5 and 3, in an
easy match, while Miss Rosenthal de
feated Mrs. C. O. Gillette, Chicago, 4
and 3, in another one-sided contest.

NORTH DAKOTA RACE
HORSE WILL BE ON
BIG FAlR PROGRAM
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 30.—A battle
royal is in store on the opening day
of the Minnesota state fafr, Monday,
Sept. 2 when Major James R. Water's
famous pacer, Major Ong, will meet
among a field of fast ones Hal J.,
a Decorah, la. horse owned by E. J.
Curtin president of the First National
bank of Beach, and a warm friend of
the North Dakota state examiner.
Major Waters is particularly anxious
to
see
Major Ong beat Hal J., be­
cause the latter was bought with some
of the money which the state Examin
er paid the Beach banker for Major
Ong. At that time the Ong horse
was off his feed, and Curtin thought
him a good sell at any figure. Major
Waters picked him up cheap, put him
in charge of Doc Townsend, and pro
ceeded to make a money-getter out
of him. The Major started last sea
son in great shape, but strained a ten
don, and again seemed to be out of
the game for good. He came back
this year in great shape, however, and
has been inside the money in every
meet he has entered.
In Iowa last wek the Major nosed
out Hal B. Jr., a grand circuit fav
orite, for second money, finishing
only a fraction of a nose behind Fay
Richmond, and doing the last half of
the winning heat in 1:2. Maj. Waters
has never seen Hal J., the Curtin
horse, perform, but he is staking the
Major to win. The purse is $1,500
for pacers of the 2:5 class, and gooc?
harness animals are entered from
Missouri, Colorado, Iowa, Indiana,
New York and North Dakota.
During state fair week Fargo, Cas
selton and Wimbleton horses will en
ter for purses ranging from $1,000 up
to $3,000, and the racing card appears
to be unusually good one which
promises to attract many horsemen
from North Dakota.
The charm of the Lanpher
hat lies in its correct style,
attractive colors and its
"always right" quality
—quality that is still un
equalled.

men from three different division*
of infantry and two battalions of
crack mountain troops.

The loss of this height and a fur
ther advance made it all the more
necessary for the ^Germans to pre
vent the Allies from gaining ground
on the plateau in the region of
Juvigny, where it runs eastward be
fore turning southward again toward
the Chemin des Dames. The enemy
has reinforced his line there with
some of his best divisions of shock
troops.
The French third artny met with
greater resistance today along the
line of the Somme and the Canal Du
Nord. The German opposition was
particularly stout in the region of
Nesles, where .it was necessary to
have artillery to reduce some posi
tions.
Tonight the villages of Rou-le
Grand and Roye-le-Petit, east of
Nesles, are in the hands of the
French, while south along the canal
they have Breuil, Moyencotart, and
La Panneterie. North of Nesles,
here General Humbert's troops also
are approaching the Somme. The
Germans launched counter attack
against Morchain without success.
The Germans appear, to be strongly
reinforced by artillery along the Ca
nal Du Nord, where their resistance
is stiffening.

.troops advanced eastward to the
southern slopes of Mont St Simeon.
Casualties Are Light.
Paris Aug. 30.—(Ha vas. Agency.)-
The British line north of the Somme
has been carried beyond the points in
dicated in last night's statement from
Field Marshal Halg. and the British
now are several kilometres east of
Combles, according to reports to the
newspapers here. The advance con
tinues and the fall of Peronne is pre
dicted.
Correspondents of Paris newspapers
at the front agree that the Allied
losses in the present operations have
been comparatively light. They, say
that the Allies have never takenv so
many prisoners and guns and so much
material and territory at'so slight' 'a
cost.
(By The Associated Press)
British Nearing Peronne.
With the British armies in France,
Aug. 30.—Biaches on the south bank
of the Somme arid about a mile from
Peronne has been captured by Field
Marshal Haig's forces. British troops
have entered Lesboeufs and patrols
have passed through Morval to the
southeast.
British troops this morning pushed
forward in an easterly direction from'
Bapaume.
The British have made further ad
vances to the north of Lens. At one
place they pushed forward for a dis
tance of a thousand yards.
•Le Transloy, on the Bapaume-Per
onne high road, was reported to have
been captured this morning.
Fires indicating the withdrawal of
the Germans -on the northern end of
the British front and especially in the
Lys salient burning. Many explos
ions have been observed behind the
enemy lines.
The Germans have been driven be
hind the river Somme everywhere
along the British front The whole
western bank now is in the possession
of Field Marshal Haig's troops and at
one place just south of La, Chapellette
a British force has crossed to the
east bank.
In the operations concluded this
morning, 300 prisoners fell into the
hands of the British on this side of
the river, being unable to get away
quickly enough.
The Germans have destroyed all
the bridges across the Somme, includ
ing the railroad bridge and the reg
ular bridge at Peronne.
Northwest of Peronne, however,
after the riv^r changes its course
ffom the north to the west, the Brit
ish swept in so quickly that the
causeway over-the Somme at Clery on
the north bank was secured Intact
Clery is in British hands.
Peronne and the country to the
rear of that city are well under the
•Are of British gilns.
Hons Hold Road.
North of Peronne the .Germans now
are holding the road to Bapaume as
far as a point opposite. Combles.
North of here the advance of. the
British made the enemy retire again.
British patrols are astride the road
and are moving southward.
Bapaume seems to have been cap
tured without much resistance by
New Zealand troops who were assist
ed by pressure from the English on
the south. The town was entered
from the north and1east. There was
only brief street fighting and then
the Germans who had been left be
hind surrendered.
The British are now fighting to the
east of Fremicourt on the road to
Cambrai and at Ban court
The Germans are fighting rear
guard actions. The enemy force
s4ems to be.in full retreat in this lo
cality. North of Bapaume the most
important captures have been made.
Th? strong
.defense*
which had been
erected by the Germans.' at Bulle
court, Hendecourt-Lez-Cagnlcourt and
Reincourt-L^r-Cagnicourt have been
stormed and captured.
At Riencourt, especially were the
defenses strong and the town site atop
high ground which in itself (orais fc
natural defensive position. It had
been thought that thei, Germans would
hold onto this place desperately and

machine 4uns and immense quantities
of wire and. the ground is honey
combed with deep dugouts to offer
shelter from bombardment.
It is along this line perhaps- that
one of the most bitter struggles of
the war may soon take plafce.
The British attacked the Germans
at dawn today north of Ecoust-St
Meln and south of Bullecourt and this
region also seems to hafre been clear
ed of the enemy. The Germans con
tinue to bring up new troops in this
locality. Another new Prussian di
vision has been identified in the fight
ing during the night. This division
was .one which, the Americans had
smashed to pieces at. Chateau Thierry
and since had been refitting and fill
ing great gaps in the ranks some
where in the rear.
In .the operations of last night artd
this morning the British' again have
captured a number of prisoners and
guns. Among the cannon is a fifteen
centimetre gun captured in front of
Maurepas. A complete field battery
was taken southeast of Bapaume.
Fires Burning.
In the Lys salient, where fires are
burning at many placep, indicating
the withdrawal of the Germans, the
lines of the British have been ad
vanced to the east of Robermetz and
north of Neuf-Berquln.
Reports of Germans refusing to
fight continue to be secured. Reliable
German information says:
"On August 18, it, was learned that
the fifth company of the 22nd re
serve Infantry regiment, refused to go
forward to relieve the fourth com
pany which had suffered heavy losses
as it had only gone out of line itself
four days previously.
The men j-$fused for two hours,
during which the cammonder threat
ened to send them forward under
escort In the end the men were per
suaded after a heated argument about
their duty to the Fatherland. Terrific
losses continue to .be inflicted on the
Germans. The Germans on a large
section of the front to the east of
Bapaume have not had hot food for
three days, because British bombs
smashed a large number of their roll
ing kitchens.
Hard Fight Along Oise.
With the French Army iri France,
Aug. 30.—(By the Associated Press).
—Noon.—General Humbert's troops
which yesterday took Noyon and ad
vanced to Mount Simeon, to the
northeast, resumed their attack this
morning and are advancing up the
difficult heights north' of the Oise,
Machine guns have befell placed on
every point of vantage by the Ger
mans and the struggle has become
one of bush fighting. The enemy's
machine guns are concealed and
command all paths leading up the
hills and are capable to holding, up
a large force and obliging assaulting
troops to dodge and surround the
emplacements. It has been fotfnd
that artillery preparation, however
intense, never reaches all of them.
French soldiers after their exper
ience in Thieseourt forest are becom
ing familiar with1* this Indian style
of fighting, while the German ma
chine gunners left behind so that the
infantry might retire with greater se
curity are becoming weary of their
task. When taken prisoner they
complain that they alone have been
sacrificed and they have been obliged
not only to face the French but have
been under fire of their only artillery,
shells from the rear falling on the
positions they have been left to hold.
This happened yesterday at Noyon
and seemed to be happening today.
Shells, from the German heavy artil
lery were falling short all around
Mount Simeon and others were fall
ing in Noyon. Those that fell iri the
city drove out of their hiding place
32 German Soldiers who had been
overlooked by the Zouaves who clear
ed the streets yesterday.
The first thing the prisoners did
was to appeal for food.
The heavy German guns have been
withdrawn a considerable distance.
No sound of their firing is heard and
shells arriving in the vicinity of Noy
on sound as if they were nearly spent.
The historic town has suffered lit
tle from shell fire so. far. The
French purposely- spared the town,
preferring to take it at the point of
the bayonet rather than destroy his
toric monuments. The enemy has
boasted he would destroy the city and
the work has begun. It will, in all
probability, remain- unfinished, for
the present fighting mood of the
French troops promises further
changes in the situation that, will
oblige the enemy again to fcke his
heavy guns further back.
The total of 150 prisoners taken
yesterday aniP this morning is indi
cative of the present tactics used by
the Germans. They are leaving few
men within rpach of their adversar
ies but every man is equipped with a
ouick firer. These tactics account
for the grea* number of, machine
guns captured. The count' has not
yet been made but:it is Known that
the number is formidable.

FEW TRAPPERS CROSS SEA.
Nome, Alaska, Aug. 1.-7-(By'Mail).
—On account of the uncertainty of
economic and political conditions in
Siberia this year, few Alaska miners
and trappers have crossed the. Beh
ring sea to'take minerals.'and furs
from the ^siatio lands .across from
here.
In other years many Alaskans,
most of' them from Name and the
Seward peninsula, liave gone into the
Siberian country around the Gulf of
Anadir. Nome Is about 160" miles from
the Siberian coast
Small American trading vessels
plying across the Bering Straits and
along the Siberian cpast built up such
a big business a few years ago that
a movement was started for the es
tablishment of a custom house on the
Siberian coast, probably at East

go, always with gay whimsicalities
upon their lips, these' beloved boys
who were to us so commonplace in
the humdrum days of poace. It is as
if their youthful figures stood silhou

the dawn, their common clay struck
to glowing radiance. But they were
ever thus, I thlnk. guardlng in their
hearts the seeds of glorious days and
it was we who. saw them, only with

STOCK MARKET
IS IRREGULAR
New York, Aug. 30.—With no ap
preciable expansion of offerings, the
stock m&rket developed Irregular ten
dencies in the course of the first
hour. Yesterday's warning of the lo
cal money pool' again counterbalanced
good war news and railroad earnings.
Active industrials and «quipm,ents re
acted from substantial fractions to a
point and prominent rails were lower
by 1 to 1 1-2 points although St. Paul
preferred showed marked strength
and Union Pacific held firm with
southern railway. The moderate re
covery at midday was led by United
States steel and Canadian Pacific.
Complete recoveries were made
during the listless mid-session by
United States steel, Canadian Pacific
and minor rails. Dealings in other
quarters of the stock list were negli
gible but foreign b6nds continued to
harden on the further rise of Paris
exchange.
An advance of 2 1-4 points in
American tobacco was the only un
usual feature at the steady but dull
opening of today's stock market A
number of important issues, including
United States steel and trans-conti
nental rails, sold minus their quar
terly dividends, but Initial changes in
those groups Were- confined to the
smallest fractions. Equipments, ship
pings, coppers and other metals were
disposed to harden but specialties'
eased. Maxwell Motors losing a point.
liberty issues and international
bonds were variable.
