L 8., Fort Terry, N. Y., } Dec. 6.—The boys of the company are } anxiously awailing the orders that | will take them away from this island {avhere they have been stationed for the past four months. From present indi- ‘catiom these orders will be issued from the headquarters at Fort Wright }in the near future. For the past few fdays the men have been given drills i that will tend to harden them for the service that they will see abroad. Af- ter three months of little drilling the men have gained weight and picked up in a number of ways. The present drilling will put the men into condi- tion to stand many hardships that they will in all probability have to stand if they go across the water. The {men would like to get home before ithey receive orders to leave but as izhe orders are expected at any time.it ywill not be possible for all of the men %o get home. ~ Ome of the most popular things to ;do while away on a pass is'for the {men to get married. About ten mem- ibers of the company have left the res- i#rvation single men and have return- ed in a happy frame of mind and up- ion inquiring it can be learned that the happy expression is due to the fact that they have been married. “Jiggs” Donahue meets all of_ the ‘ benedicts with a glad hand. Kirk Ricketts helps things along by play- ing a wedding march - as the one comes through the day room to the dining hall. The.quartette generally . starts in with Goodbye, Boys, I'm : Through about this time. In spite of the fun that is had at the expense of these men the rest of the company wish them the best of luck and all kinds of happiness in the future. At present the boys are in fine health and spirits and look ahead with zreat enthusiasm to the prospeet of getting into active service. The health of the company since their stay on the island has been due to a great extent to the cooks and the mess ser- geant. The food that has been given to the men has been of the best, al- though it may not have been as fasty as some of the men were used to be- fore eniisting. The men have been fortunate in having a neat head cook who was always on hand to see that the food was served properly. While under canvas at the other .end of the island the facilities for cooking and serving the food were not as good as they are in the barracks but in spite of the fact that a great many obsta- cles had to be overcome the men were ept in fine health. The only sick- ness the men have had since the time they left home has been for colds or other minor complaints. Another thing which is a great credit to the company and to the officers is the fact that not a_man from the com- pany has been in the guardhouse for any offence in the four months that they have been here. This+one thing alone is a great credit to com- pany at gny post. The fact that the ompany had more gunners made than an vother company on the post speaks well for the officers and men. Since leaving Norwich the compan; Fas made a fine record and the city can well be proud of what the men have done so far. There is no doubt in” the minds of the boys that the =o6d work will be kept up if they go across and they are hoping for the chance to show what y can do. Captain W. G. Tarbox has been no- tiffed that about four more men can be taken into the company before the fifteenth of this month. It has been rumored that some young men of Nor- wich were anxious to get into the company and now the opportunity is cpen for them to come in. Two rook- ies haye been taken into the company this week and they bave been fully equipped. In a few days these men will be drilled in with the company avhich is one of the largest post_at the present time. It is hoped, Ly the boys in the company, that the rookies will be boys from home rath- er than from some outside city. At present the company is composed of 105 men and four reserves. The places of the reserves can be taken by new recraits.

He plaved fuliback on this year's team and tackle on the 1916 team. The vote was unanimous. a rare thing in an N. F. A. football election. < The following won their “N” year and were entitled to vote: Ends, Oat and Counihan; tackles, Kozlow- ski, Tirrell ang Brend: guards, R. Wilcox and Suplicki; center, Covello | and Phillips; backs, Eastwood (capt), Bennett, J. Wilcox and Brewer; man- ager, Jones. Six of these men will probably be back next vear so that a strong team is expected. National Owners Unable to Meet.

PROSPECTS OF FOOTBALL FOR 1918 SEASON it of By SOL METZGER Coach Washington and Jefferson Foot- ball Team. What about football next vear? That question naturally arises as the cur- tain is being lowered on the season of 1917, by all odds one of the most remarkable ever witnessed in Ameri- ca. Are we going to continue with it? T . s MARKET WAS UNSETTLED in ax By Reports of Entente Revers: France and italy and the Hal ter. New York, Dec. 6.—Untoward de- vclopments, notably the reported en- tente reverses in France and Italy, the Halifax disaster and suggestions of additional federal prics revision of im- portant commodities, prompted mod- erate realization for profits and some short selling in today’s stock market. The recommendations contained in the majority report of the Interstate Commerce Commission imparted ir- regular strength to the list at the opening, but by midday virtually all initial advances were replaced by treme recessions of two to threc points in_important issues. B Retention of the regular dividends by . the principal mietal producing companies, instead of expected redu tions, induced tentative buyinz and short covering in the latter. pari of | the session, but the market closed sluggish, with a preponderance of net lesses. J. Steel flnished at $7 ‘7-8, al- most its lowest quotation of the day and a two point setback. Other in- dustrials made similar concessio with shippings, oils, varicus equip- ments and affiliated specialties. Early gains of one to two points in minor rails were materially or entirely reduced. Utilities were under con- stant pressure, losing one to two points. Sales amounted to 465,000 shares, Bonds, including international is- Sues, were heavy. Liberty 4's varied from 97.18 to 97.42 and the 3 1-2's from 98.46 to 98.94. Total sales, par value, ted $4,465,000. U. S. bonds, old issues, unchanged on call.

Or will the oolleges follow -the lead of Harvard, Princaton and Yale and see nothing but “bad taste” in go- ing ahead should the war qarry on, as seems more than likely i A good many considerations arise jwhen the question of intercollegiate foothall comes up for 1918, But the one thing which will have least influence on the decision is the factor—"bad taste”—which was the official reason for giving up the game .at Harvard, Princeton and Yale. The mete fact that the nation needs recreation dur- ing a time such as it now.faces, that football has proven a valuable asset in training camps, that Canadian sol- diers have proven that acountry can go in for sport in a ~wholesale way and still make the 'bravest and most aggressive fight at the front are fac- tors that, wiil not down in considering the future of football. The problem of having football next vear and in the years to come—as long as. this war continues—depends upon the financial -.conditions of the and the:draft. If the latter is i | far-reaching it will wipe ocut about all draft the material now under 't age which has formed the . bulk ‘of our teams this vear. That means that the teams of next year — if we have them — will be made up of young- er men, inexperienced and un- tried, and that the chance for winning victory 'is a chance.

In short, in another vear, the teams that played this fall are likely ‘to be in the same shape that Harvard, Prin- ceton and Yale were in this past fall— for their varsity elevens seem likely to be called into service. Now, the answer to the question of whether thew: will play is a doubtful one. My ce teaches me that none of them like to lose and that this fact will have much bearing on the answer. There are alibis abounding for those not wishing ~ to continue. “Bad taste,” loss of entire anc n othy but the controlling factor in making a decision will be the outlodk ent and doubly safe mortgage investment. attended to by the Company. - The requirements for mortgages passed upon by the Bankers’ Mortgage Co., Inc., will be, sub- ject of the strictest care as the Company will'have at its service the best appraisers, architects and reat estate men in the state. This will safeguard the in vestor and create a demand for the company’s mort- certificates to permanent investors, trustees To place mor-tgages on a commission b’flSiS.

COIT Treasurer Litchfield Savings Society. The Company a Public Necessity The tremendous commercial growth of the state and the national demands for funds have caused a scarcity of money The large increase in population in gages. available for mort- the last three years has resulted in a legiti- mate demand for mortgage accommodations which cannot be filled. The increased de- mands for mercantile expansion must also be provided for. Therefore an investment in the stock of this Company constitutes not only a safe and at- tractive investment but it also adds to the pros- perity of the State of Connecticut, because every dollar loaned for necessary mortgages is a public benefit. Why the Company Should Be Successful g00d a game as the college game. © Football of this nature and footbal between college and army or navy teams looks to me to be the surest bet for 1818. And this sor: of fbotball should -be encouraged. . There was a tremendous apmrzunuy for the col- leges to do a big thing for ‘the nation as as-for themselves when this season closed by playing post-season games, for patriotic funds but in the one big attempt, which was reguested by the Red Cross, I fear that two of the scctional leaders in . the gridiron world placed mythical chan/fnships before a simple patriotic duty. That hurt football tremendously. I hope this was.not the reason. For. example, there was, and stili is, ithis ‘oppertunity of using our colleze footbail teams' for the purpose of ing the government fight this war. Gne eleven I know of was asked to play a game with a certain army team on the Saturday after Thankegiving. The game followed a hard Thanksgiving. struggle and to play it the team had to'travel about.trenty-four hours. The proposition - was plaeed _before the Players first. Every man of them was Zlad to do this little bit to aid In rais- ing a_patriotic fund. 5 ‘Is this not evidence that the college student and the college football plaver }is ready and willing to do that which those who manage him in football are not always willing to do® The ques- tion ‘of winning or losing in such a cause ‘is not a_considerntion with thy undergraduate. Unfortunately. if facts are correct, winning or losing is a big_ consideration with those in coptro! of our great intercoliegiate game. There.is no reason and there can be no srounds.for auy objection, on the part of those im control ¢f college foot- ball, to -séason games in e South during the holiday season. Col- lege teams could be taken South at that . time and played against each other or agdinst army camp teams of that section:in the larger cities of the South. - These games could- be han- died by the Chamber of Commerce of these large .southern cities and_ be made to net large sums for patriotie funds" — the Red Cross, the’ Camp Emergency Fund, and o on. But our colleges . have not vet met this op- portunity. - Perhaps, after all. we should not condemn tliem #00 harshly for failing to meet this situation. It is a new one and it does-tdke time to size up new conditions- even in ocellege ath- letics. In another year let us hope T know that 1 player is:both ready and willlng to do, his little part in this re- Apect.

It is because of my knowledge of copditions that I refer to W. & J. One eleven that we heat in a big game followed up this defeat with several nevspaper articles reflecting on our patriotism because we had practically an entire varsity team back. - Immediately afterwards a monthly = outdoor magazine attacked both the patriotism of the college and the team. In substance this magazine stated that talk at W. & J. was ait ;, plares Camp’s Ali-American cleven. It also stated that our team had returned practically intact, giving a list of the supposedly more noteworthy perform- ers’of a year ago who had .returned. As a matter of fact both the college press mater and ‘the magaZine article were not founded on faci. The maga- zine writer who cast slurs at the pa- triotism of this college failed to note! that eighteen men, six of the varsitv of 1916, were in service, that ten of nineteen varsity men of the previous vear had returned, that out of an en- roilment of 340 students in 1916, 104 were in service and fifty others had been rejected, principally because of vouth. He also failed to note that but Qine meny of the twenty-nine men on this - year’s football squad were of draff. age, that each of these men bad a drdft number and would soon be called and that one of last year's team was flying in France when he wrote this unfounded attack. The question that arose among the players upoh reading it was:! “What is the color of Hawthorne's uniform and what is his record of national service ™ Just, what good is accomplished in ettacking the patriotism of college boys has never been made clear to Norwich, It will benefit manufacturers by furnishing money for homes for their employees.

They have right well responded to the 1 of their country and they are the men whom we must look tr for leaders in this world struggle. It ill behooves anv of us to insinvate they are slackers and when this re- flection is cast at twenty boys under draft age, some of whom huve been re- Jected, and at none boys expecting te go at anytime, it would seem that the infallible citizen making such anat- tack is ‘striking miore at the war pol cy of the sovernment than at anythinz else.
