Lively Interest in Today’ Game at Recreation Park. ‘Windham High for the second time this season will meet the strong Nors wich Academy football team- this af- ternoon at Recreation Park. Although the local boys were defeated in thé first encounter they have been getting in some lively practice during the past weck and expect that today's show. ing_will be a great improvement over their former one.

London, Nov. 10, 9.05_p. m.—The re- election of President Wilson is wel- comed the Weekly Nation as an event favorable both to peace and to the cause of state liberty and the pa- per thinks that his election offers hopes of an earlier end to the war any nation enduring it can foresee. William Henry Massingham, the editor, in a special note referring to President Wilson says: “The resources of the = Furopean statesmanship are not' so rich nor are its personalities so inspiring that it can dispense with an acute, power- ful ‘end in some degree, prophetic in- tellecr at the head of the greatest power that tha war has left standing and the most sympathetic to our- helves. T think that most men and women here, who take more than cas- ual interest in_American politics, read the news of Mr. Hughes' earlier suc- cess with sinking hearts.” The New Statesman considers it beiter for the entente allies to have to do with a president whose mind they know and who is unlikely to raise_sérious difficulties concerning the British blockade. “Moreover,” it adds, “Wilson is the more likely to be interested personally in the promotion of an Anglo-American entente, on the creation of which after -the ‘war so many_ important things will depend.” "~ BALTIC Local People at Captain Koenig's Re- ception—Settling Election Bets Fri- agony than ot day—Ruraway—Personal Items, Mr. and .
