Saturday aftermoon on the campus 'the N. F. A. football team defeat- ed by the fast Vocational team from New London, 19 to 0. Dwyer, of Vocational, was the shining |light throughout the game. His run- ning and punting had.the Academy boys helpless. The Vocational line made hole hole for him to jag through. Norwich's fumbles were costly. They missed three kicks which were recovered by their opponents, two of which en- abled them to score. In the first quarter, the Academy re- cetved but were held and had’fo kick. On the first play, Dwyer, on a fake forward, went 15 yards through tackle. He re- peated the play again for 11 yards be- fore he was downed. From the 35 yard Dwyer drop kicked, making the first score. ¢ During the second quarter, Vocational scored seven more points. Rankin of Vocational, went through center for 15 yards. Dwyer carried the ball, the next three times, for 21 yar(s and then, took the ball over. Dwyer kicked the goal, The second halt showed the Academy’s weakness, on handling the ball. Voca- tional was forced to punt. The Kick went 38 yards and the Academy fum- bled. Ed Cruise scooped up the ball and rushed it over the line, Dwyer failed to kick *he goal. The IAst score of the game came In the | l1ast quarter. Vocational worked its way | down the fleld to the 25-yard line, and then Dwyer kicked his second fleld goal| of the game. As their fina] drive, the Academy tried the forward pass. Three were success- but not for large gains. The feature of the game was the punt- ing match between Brown and Dwyer. The attendance was not as what was expected. This week the Academy meets Bulke- ey High at New London, on Saturday. The practice this week will be of the! hardest kind to met inetrim to defeat the old rivals, Bulkeley. Lineup: N. E. A Vocational. Meek ... 4t “ee Ed.

For- elgn oils ‘showed ' some of the recent strength, domestic issues easing under realizing sales. Independent steels and shippings re- sponded to moderate accumulation, the former again owing their prominence to rumors of mergers. Rails of the invest- men type receded slightly at the outset, hardening later. Changes among specialties resulted largely from the customary ;week end settlement of specalative accounts, but galn= prevailed at the steady close. Sales amounted to 375,000 shares, rading in bonds was light, most of the Liberty issues ‘showing gains, while Victory notes established new high quo- tations for the year. Raflroad and im- dustrial bonds were mixed, but some of the forelgn group, particularly United Kingdoms of 1937, were strong. Total sales (par value) aggregated $6,175,000. Last week's moderate deficit in actual reserves of the clearing house was can- celled by tI7 week's cash gain of $18,- 200,000 and loans showed a further de- crease of $32.885,000, making a total contraction of about $104,000,000 for the past foftnight. Mercantile agencies reported some slowing down of general husiness, due to unseasonable wéather. Better collections ruled at the big distributing centers of trade and banks were offering more free- Iy of funds for commercial uses. STOCKS. High. Low. Allled Chemical pr ,, 89 29 Allls Chalmers .

John- TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF VETERANS’ BUREAU Washington, Oct. 30.—Sweeping rec- ommendations designed to Increase the efficiency of the Veterans' Bureau were made in a report published today by { the speclal dfmmittee which is investigat- ing zovernment activities for the relief of former service men. The committee has not yet completed its task. The bureau should ‘broaden its inter- pretation and widen the scope of appli- cation of existing laws,” the report said, adding that additional legislation would be sought to meet deficiencles shown by its hearings. 2 Among specific recommendationg were: Appropriation of $16,400,000 for hos- pitals; transfer of all government hos- pitals,, including soldier homes not need- ed by the army or navy, to the burean; creation of a chaplain corps for service in hospitals and training centers; pro- viston of cemeterles at soldier hospl- tals for interment of veteran dedd ; stand- ardization of tralning; permitting the applicant to select as far ag possible his own vocatlon: extension of existing in- surance to $10,000, for each policy hold- er if he wants it, and extension of In- surance and comvensation privilege to _Americang Who served in allied forces. Cancellation of contracts with state, municipal and private hospitals whica were ot in existence April 1, 1917, and with all similar institutions which after inspection are farnd unsuitable, was rec- ommended as one administration reform, others under this head including: " Issuance of rules and regulations for the maintenance of order or discipline; frequent and thorough inspection of hos- pitals ana training centers, elimination of polities ‘from appointments, and es- tablish of additional vocational centers at institytions where mental mg tubercue ardner Dow Field Saturday | this city December 2 with Pennsylvania | lar patlents are under treatment. . To July 17 1921 there has been 388;00r applications for vocationak training, the committee féund, adding that “although we are approaching the third anniversary of the armistice” only 5,050 have been rehabilated. ’ “It is with deep regret,” the committee said, “that we report this melancholy fact.” Only 12,000 men have accepted train- ing without pay out of a total of 96,913 eligibles, .and' only 96,000 with pay out of 159,309 eligibles, the report sald, the committee finding that *“a vast majori- ty” of those eligible “are unable or un- willing to train because of their inabili- ty to support themselves without pay.” Many veterars, the committee charged, delay rehabiltation “because usually the sum of the maintenance pay and wage considerably exceeds the wage the In- creased earn uon rehabilitation.” Poiming out that only 1,200 of the six thousand employes declared it was “un- able to understand why the board thus discriminates against former service men,” and suggested the “immediate cut- ting down of the larze force of em- ployes in Washington.” The time has come, the committee de- clared, to decrease the number of “con- tract” hospitals, which it finds were the cause of “just complaints.” The ‘“peak of the load” in hospital needs will not be reached until 1927, } lieved. The committee criticised the policy It with compensation claims as medical problem, and declar- pplicants had been unfairly and rated, others had their compen-' sation reduced without just cause, and some are receiving mere compensation than they should. Artcareful re-examina- tion of oll disallowed claims was recom- mended. In discussing the question of maintain- ing proper discipline among trainees and patients, the committee declared - that while the men should not be compelled to submit to army discipline, proper rules should be enforced. In some places, like Jommsy = Tity, Tenn., a class of unworthy ‘the investigators be- benefii “small in number but " the committee asserted, “aré doing great harm to their more worthy om- rades.” Such men, it was added, pre- tend the need of hospitalization “for the sake of the good living at the expense of the government, and are constant trouble makers.” The commitee urged their dismissal. APPEAL TO PUBLIC OPINION. OF SACCO-VANZETTI DEFENSE Boston, Oct. 30.—A ement asking the public to judge the guilt or innocence of Niccola Sacco and Bartolomeo' Van- zetti “on the basis of evidence introduced in the court room and not on the basis of newspaper fabrications about the two men and their friends,” was issued by |the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee | today. “In view of the persistence with which the press of the -country has spread ~ fantastic stories without' the slightest foundation in fact,” the state- | ment said, “stories whose chief effect is |to hurt the defense of Sacco and Van- | zetti, the committee conducting the de- !fense feels called upon to make an un- equivocal statement. “The lurid plots. and threats attrib- uted to mythical indiviauals referred to as ‘Sacco-Vanzetti sympathizers’ are so thoroughly harmful to the effort being made to save the two men from the elec- tric chair that they could not have orig- inated in the minds of friends. Either they were planted by persons desirous of putting the cause of the two prison- ers into disrepute or they are lies pure and timple. ““We feel that the level headed, intel- lizent and honest persons of the commu- nity accepts thesé accusations for what they are worth. Neverthe'ess the in- cessant printing of alarmist headlines about fictitioug plots and attacks, with not a scintilla of truth in the body of the articles to justify these headlines is sure to create a state of public mind i wherefn the real issue—namely whether Sacco and Vanzettj are guilty ar not of the crime charged against them—will be lost sight of.” The statement asks that newspapers “should mot sacrifice all the principles of justice and a square deal” adding: “We make the plea in the certainty that millions of supporters of clean journal- ism, including the greater portion of journalism, includiny' tlie greater portion of journalists, are With us on this propo- sition.” 3 MEN STI-L ON STRIKE ON THE GREAT NORTHERN Houston, Tex., Oct. 30.—Outwardly the strike situation on the International and Great 'Northern Railroad remained unchanged tonight. The 600 trainmen |who went on strike October 22 still were out and no adjustment as to their return to work had been made. The strike was authorized some time previous to and put into effect after, the recent permis- sion for a national strike by the big five brotherhoods. The International and Great Northern strike was unaffected by recall of the general strike order. Tomorrow several union officials will confer here and the strikers are under- stood to regard as probable a quick ad- | justment * restesing all their former rights. - General Manager Goforth, of the rafl- road, refused to discuss the conference tomorrow and said the railroad now is | taking all the freight offered. RULING ASKED ABOUT THE RETURN OF HANS TAUSCHER Washington, Oct. 30.—The state de- partment has asked the department of justice to rule upon the question of per~ mitting the return to this country of Captain Hans Tauscher, late of the im- berial German army, who left for Ger- many in February, 1917, with former Ambassador Von Bernstorff, while under indictment in San Francisco for viola- tion of American newtrality. According to official’ advices from Ber- lin, Tauscher wishes to become an Amer- ican citizen as an example o his coun- trymen: of the proper eolution of Ger- many's future through the cultivation of reported to have suggesteqd that the gov- ernment drop the indictment still pending in San Francisco in order that he may transfer allegiance.

It is intimated that Tauscher is in possession of secret information which would be of value both to the govern- ment and certain American industries. Tauscher, according to intelligence agents, was concerned with widespread German Intrigue in this country before America’s declaration of war and was in- dicted .in San_Francisco with the former German military attache, Von Papen, for violation of neutrality laws in connection with the so-called Hindu plot to ship arms and ammunition to®India.

Hooper, vice clairman of "the United States Railroad Labor Board, as- serted today in an address before the men’s classc fo a local charech. “In my judgment, ¢ongress should not have perpetrated the irony of pulling the board's teeth and then telling it to go forth and Lite those who interrupt traf- fic and strangle commerce,” he said. “The transportation act under which the board onggates is unique in one re- spect. There is no court, tribunal or agency of the government that does not possess the power to inflict perfa‘ties for the' violation of ‘its decisions. “The transportation act uses the word ‘shall’ up to a certain point and there its mandatory provisions cease. It say! that the carriers and employes ‘shall’ confer and nezotiate for the settlement of their disputes, that if they do not agree they ‘shall’ take the matter up to the railroad labor board, and that the board ‘shall’ decide the dispute. “Just here the law ceases to be imper- tive. It provides that if the board, up- on inquiry finds that been violated, it ‘may make public its de- cision in such manner as it may deter- mine.” s “In other words the board may point the finger of scorn at the vioator, and call down upon its head the. denunciation of the public.” THREE VESSELS Af HORE ON THE NOVA SCOTIAN COAST Sydney, N. 8., Oct. 30.—Three vessels, including an unidentified three-masted schooner, were ashore on the Nova Sco- tian coast tonight as the result of a ter- rific gale which started here Friday afe ternoon and reached its peak late Sat- urday night. The wrecked schooner went ashore in Mira Bay. Owing to the fact that wire communication with the Mira district has been cut off, marine department offi- cials tonight were unable to ‘ascertain ber identity, but it was reported that her crew had been landed safely. Two former Canadian navy drifters broke from their mqorings and came ashore at Nelgah Beach above the city. % The gale, which is reported to have been the worst that Cape Breton has experfenced since 1873, did considerable damage. . At Glace Bay, a spire church was blown down through the roof of the wind also took the roof hafl of the Baptist and crashed building. The off the parish M. D.

He is{Long Island, returned home today with the body of his son Kenneth, found in the Niagara river last Thursday night. Before leaving Mr. Losey expressed the firm conviction that hjs son was mur- dered and that he had been lured hera 0 his-death by ‘“some powerful in- its decision has | fluence.” He had no theory as to what influence might 1ave been. Although the county medical exam- | iner has officially pronounced the case one of murder and declared that Losey was dead Defore his body entered the water. the po'ice have not abandoned their theory that he met death by ac- cident or was a suicide.
