td Pennsylvanlans will bo played Satur
day. Ono Is to bo played at Haverford,
when the homo eleven entertains tho
Swnrthmoro Invaders; the oilier contest.
fayette. In tho eyes of tho followers
these games arc tho best of tho entire
football year, such rivalry exists.
It will be tho first tlmo Swarthmoro
and Haverford have played since 1901.
From 1S93 to that year they had battled
annually. Haverford had won ten games,
Swarthmore 12. and the game In 1901 was
piayea to a 6-c score.
When the expected thousands grouped
around Walton Field vlow the Arrival
tomorrow of the wnrrlors of the two col
leges, there will bo many an alumnus
who will recall old days and famous fights,
nnd names like Wllmcr Crowell. of
Swarthmore, one of tho greatest drop
kickers In college circles; Norman Thorn,
Haverford's captain In 1903; Arthur
Lowery, one of the greatest fullbacks
who over donned the Scarlet und Black;
"Tiny" Maxwell, Earnest Jones, who was
the man to make tho only score against
Swarthmore In 190t; John L. Scull. Wal
ter 'Perkins. Arthur Phillips, James Up
plncott and Arthur Hopkins, will come
back .to him.
The men who are to uphold tho honor
of Haverford this year are Captain Carey,
Sarigree. Ramsey, Crossmau. Kirk, Moon,
Howland, Iteeve, Know ton, Shipley, Han
npm, Martwlck and Gardiner. Swnrth
more's garnet' colors will probably be
worn by E. Cornog. Donnelly. McGovern,
jEndlcott, Hunter, Passmoro, Dean Weld
ner, Murch, Lock, A. Cornog and Captain
uume.
Each team has had Its significant' vic
tories and defeuts, but Haverford believes
she will win.
SWAIlTHMOnE HAS WEIGHT.
Swarthmore, as In former years, out
weighs Haverford's team man to man.
The performance, however, of tho Scar
let and Black during the sensun which
Is about to close, shows the Main Line
team to be faster and to possess some
keen strategy.
Coach '"Mike" Bcnnott. who Is finishing
his first year as coach at Haverford, has
turned out a team of which he may well
be proud. Out of seven games they have
lost two and won flee.
Though Haverford will play her first In
tercollegiate soccer game tomorrow the
soccer team gladly turned Its field over to
Doc Bennett and the football team this
afternoon so that Walton Field might be
left In a good condition for Saturday's
Em'n with Swarthmore.
This is, as much as to say that the
heart and mind of the whole college has
but one real objective this week and that
I,: the Swarthmore game. No time is be
ing wasted in Idle talk on Just what will
ho done to Swarthmore. Instead of that
the team nnd the whole college are bend
ing their energies to make the best possi
ble team from the material at college. The
players are studying continuously on
their plays and striving to perfect their
signals: While waiting for dinner even
Carey has his little group off on tho
campus and is drilling them on their
plays. Players who have been out of tho
game for a week or two, weeks are com
ing out -with their Injuries carefully and
fairly successfully nursed and getting
down to the serious business of the game
ctraln.
Grandstand and field will be gay with
the red and black of Haverford and tho
rich garnet flags of Swarthmote, and
bevies of smiting devotees will give ad
ditional brightness to the gala occasion.
Society will turn out Jn full force for
both local colleges have a decided social
following.
It is at this time that the Alumni of
the colleges rally to their alma mater
and give, all the support possible, and
Haverforp will be gay with rousing
cheers, and pretty glrla decked out with
the colore of their devoted swains, In rib
bons and flowers.
A large number of important persons
are expected to attend, among them
Governor-elect Martin O. Brumbaugh,
State Senator William C. Sproul and

GRANGE PREPARES
DEMAND ON SENATE
TO END CORRUPTION
National Convention at Wil
mington to Act Promptly
on Resolution Denouncing
the Purchase of Seats.
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov, 19. - Efforts
will be mado by the Natlonat Grange to
take action on the resolution of II, Hnr
land, of Idaho, condemning the purchase
of scats In the United States Senate to
day. There Is no doubt that the resolu
tion will fc adopted.
The resolution of Mr. Harland Is now
In tho hands of a committee. There aro
a, number of Important resolutions stilt
'In the hands of committees, but they
must bo disposed of today or tomorrow,
and tho committees will push Its wcrk
Just as rapidly as possible.
As soon as tho resolution is adopted
and the new general legislative commltteo
Is appointed tomorrow night, that body
will take action to bring the resolution
to tho attention of tho United States
Senate, and will urgo thnt positive action
be taken by that body.
General satisfaction Is being expressed
over the action taken by the grango on
the subject of good roads. Tho special
commltteo headed by T. C. Atkcson, Of
West Virginia, has presented a report
which has been ndopted. This Is declared
to be tho best statement of tho position
of the National Grango which has yet
been made;.
When thcro Is a limited amount of
money to spend on a road tho Grango
believes that tha road built should bo
for business purposes and that It should
run from a farming section to the rail
road stations and tho nearest markets.
This means that the farmer will be able
to reach tho markets with his products
quickly, to tho benefit of the consumor.
Tho Grange ulso believes, however, that
n. "scenic route" advertises the community
through which It passes and attracts at
tention to It, which Is beneficial. It la
meroly a question of "business before
pleasure."
There will bo a dinner tonight In the
collcgo gymnasium at which Professor
Harry Haywood, dean of the experiment
Btatlon, wilt bo tho toastmastcr, nnd
speeches will be mado by Oliver Wilson,
tho national master; C. O. Balne, of Can
ton, Missouri; P. P. Iteardon, of McLouth,
Kansas, and II. Harland, of Payette,
Idaho.
It Is generally believed that tho reso
lution offered calling on the Govern
ment to stop Irrigation projects dn the
ground that the West Is depleting tha
East of farm labor nnd also attracting
young men from the East, Is dead. It was
reported back to the body without recom
mendation and was promptly laid on the
table.
SCRANTON WELCOMES
ST A TE SUFFRAGISTS
Continued from I'ase One
these things, why," the good .suffragist
wants to know, "cannot she find tlmo to
voto?,f
Speaking of tha antis, much amusement
among the suffrage delegates was occa
sioned by the coming to gcranton of Miss
Laura Sloan, secretary of the Pennsyl
vania "anti organization.
No, Miss Sloan did not come to tho con
vention! She came to open opposition
headquarters round on Washington nve
nue. This evening, however, the little
"antl" station was darkened and deserted,
but tho suffrage lunch nnd supper room
did a thriving business.
Practically the entire convention will
be given over to devising the best ways
and means of obtaining suffrage for wom
en in Pennsylvania by 1915.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
The leaders feel certain their measure
putting the Issue up to the men voters In
the State will pass the Legislature, since
the platforms of all of the political par
ties were "reinforced" (from the suffrage
viewpoint) by a votes for women plank.
Tho suffragists' chief concern now is to
win over a majority of the voters to tho
cause.
"We have exactly one year In which to
work." said Miss Katharine Speer Iteed,
publicity manager and treasurer of the
Flnanco Committee, "and wo are going
to win. All of the old, antiquated meth
ods will be discarded. We shall proceed
as carefully as the most astute political
party. We are going to be the first State
east of the Mississippi to obtain woman
suffrage."
Many of the delegates have come here
direct from the national convention held,
at Nashville, Tenn., and are resting up
today in preparation for the buBy week
ahead of them. Much regret la felt be
cause Dr. Anna Shaw, the newly re-elected
national president, and Mrs, Carrie
Chapman Catt, the International presi
dent, will be unable to attend.
PHILADELPHIA DELEGATES
nfti i pnMUPMTinw i act
33 Suffragists, Leaving for Scranton,
Predict Success.
The 33 women suffragists who left the
Heading Terminal In a special car attach
ed to the Black Diamond Kxpress this
morning to attend the th annual woman
suffrage convention at Scranton, were
confident that the meeting would be the
last in this State for the purpose of ob
taining the enfranchisement of women.
They believe that, If the question of
woman suffrage Is submitted to the voters
In November, 1515, according to the suf
fragists' program, women in this State
will be given the right to vote In 1916.
The convention, which will be In session
at the Hotel Casey until Saturday, is
called for the purpose of considering the
work the suffragists have dona during
the last year and to complete their plans
for the coming campaign.
More than too women will attend the
convention.
Promlnenet members of the Philadelphia
delegation were Miss Lisa Stokes Adams,
vice president of the Woman Suffrage
party of Pennsylvania; Mrs, George A.
Pierso, chairman of the Philadelphia or
ganizations Mrs. Anna M. Orme, organizer
for Philadelphia and the four surround
ing oountits, and Mrs, J. C. Bedford.
Delaware County leader of the party.
The Equal Franchise Society will be
represeated by Mrs. Charles WisUr

NATIONAL GUARD
HEADS BACK IDEA
0FW0THERSP00N
Regimental Commanders Be
lieve Advice That Army
Be Increased Should Be
Carried Into Effect.
National Guard officers unanimously
backed Major General W. W. Wothor
spoon, retired Chief of Staff of the United
States Army, who, in making his report
boforo retirement, said tho United States
was woefully unprepared for war with
a foreign nation.
General Wotherspoon declared this
country was not Iti a position to resist
an invading foreign power or to defend
the Philippines, Panama Canal, Alaskn
or Hawaii from honllln attack. Moreover,
ho contended, tho piobablc value, of ciir
coast defenses was very questionable.
As tho only remedy for these "alarm
ing conditions, ho counseled that tho
standing army be raised from 52.C00 to 205,
000 men und that In addition there be n
mobile nrmy of MO.OOO men of the first
line. The National Gunrd, ho said, should
be Increased from 127,000 to 300,000 men.
Colonel Thomas B. Kill, commander of
tho 6th Regiment. Pennsylvania National
Guard, stated that coming from nuch an
able Fourco as General Wotherspoon, the
peoplo of tho United Stntes should tako
to heart tho unpreparcdncsa of this coun
try for war.
"Wo can only havo poaco by showing
strength enough to demand peace," he
said. "X child 15 years old can readily
understand tho position In which the
United States Is placed by a small stand
ing army. We should not only have a
larger ntandlng nrmy, but a Jilghly effi
cient national guard. It Is upon the
guard that the country must look for Its
trained reserves In time of war wlille the
vo'mnteers are being trained to fight on a
battlefield." , .. . ,
"I. beliove that every young man. be
tween tho ugea of 18 and 21 years should
bo compelled to aerVo for three years in
the National Guard. Power should be
given to the guard heads to demand that
such recruits appear once a week fpr
drill, if this could not be dono then wo
should at least compel every man be
tween 18 and 45 years of age to appear
about a dozen times a year for rifle drill.
In this way wo could very easily build
up a highly efficient army with little ex
pense and still uphold our traditional re
spect for pence."

Advocates solidarity
- At this time, when the convention of
tho American Federation of Labor Is
meeting In Philadelphia, It appears to
me to be most opportune to emphasize
the messago of one of her greatest
citizens.
Benjamin Franklin said "either the
workers must hnng together or they
will hnng separately." Labor has
availed Itself only In a limited degree
of this seer's wisdom. Intensified and
minutely subdivided, Industry has pro
vided tho capitalist class with a most
efficient Instrument of exploitation.
The control of lawmaking nnd law
admlnUterlng bodies, together with
the effective direction of the policies
adopted by those Institutions that reg
ulate public opinion, aid materially In
perpetuating the power of the exploit
ing class.
To change (Mi iviLm i t. v..
lem awaiting solution by the tollers.
International solidarity In tho ranks of
labor, both on tho political and eco
nomic fields, Is essential to tho eman
cipation of labor.

President Wilson was requested to take

told the President of eondltlnnn In ri.

told that, while the miners compiled with

QLOOAl AT WASHINGTON
Administration Officials Believe Die
Cast for War.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IDThe die is
cast for war between the Villa and
Carranza factions in Mexico, Administra
tion officials fear today. Dispatches re
ceived from Constitutionalist agents at
EI Paso report the Imprisonment by Villa
of the entire convention at Aguascall
entes, together with Provisional President
Gutierrez. American Consul silllman'a
reports to President Wilson still have a
gloomy tenor, saying that affairs In Mex
ico are more serious than at any time
since tho beginning of the peace parleys.
Carranza, says SUllman, has been mis
understood as to his offers of retirement.
He Intends to hong on until he can place
the executive power In the hands of a
man1 of his own choice, preferably Gen
eral Pablo Gonzales. Meanwhile Villa
Is vigorously pressing toward Queretaro,
where ,the Carranzlstas are concentrating
and where the first big armed clash will
occur.

lies, tho Thanksgiving ship Orn docked?

tomorrow will dock nt this port ready
to receive the cargo It will carry to ths
starving In Belgium.
Tho ship was reported nt the Dela
ware Breakwater nt S o'clock this morn
Ing, and the glad news was immediately
flashed to the relief headquarters hers.
A shout of Joy went up from those who
havo lent their time and efforts to mak
ing this second shipment of food a suc
cess. Aa the Orn made Its way up tho Del
aware It was recognized by passing
craft nnd received n rousing wetcome.
When It docked nt Chester, to discharge
Us cargo, all craft In the harbor saluted.
A commltteo will meet tho ship and
mako an Inspection, Stevedores will pre
pare it to rccclvA Its cargo, and Saturday
tho food that will bring Joy to tho hearts'
of thousands of war's Innocent victims
will be placed aboard.
Pennsylvania has come to tho front and'
assured the departure of the Orn on Wed
nesday. Twenty thousand dollars more'
is needed to stock tho ship, and of this
amount tho small towns and cltloa scat
tered throughout the State have pledged
about $10,000. It only remains now fot
Philadelphia to rnlso tho remaining sunt!'

The city Is responding to tho appeal

by the tlmo tho Orn docks tomorrow,

been either raised or pledged. Contri
butions wero slow In coming in early this
morning, but ns tho day progressed they '
steadily Increased.
Contributions havo been averaging thin
week about $2000 a day, but larger sums
nro needed. Tho fund was bolstered up
considerably by tho Belgian Bollef Com-''
mlttco that lins been working In con-"
Junction with tho Newspaper Committee. '
Tho total Is now n llttlo moro than $90,000.
At least 110,000 must be raised.
Always ready and willing to answer to
a call of dlstieas, tho members of ihV
theatrical profession and tho men who'
direct tho business end of tho Philadel
phia amusement enterprises haVe re
sponded generously. The benefit in h
given at tho Academy of Music on Tues
day afternoon promises to ccllose nnv.
thing of tho kind ever elvm in t,m.
dolphla.
An elaborate program has been mapped
out and ono that could not be gotten to
gether for any other purpose than,
charity. From the smallest plcturo house-
in tho city to tho most popular theatres,
all havo answered the call and nro deter
mined that they will do their share in
sending tho Orn awuy laden as heavily
as the authorities will permit. Every
thing has been donated and the door re
ceipts will bo clear profit for tho rescue
of many poor Belgians.

word was received from Beading this
morning at the relief stntlnn tuti'
that that city would ship a carload of
food tomorrow. Frultland, Md., tela-
graphed the shipment of 20 cases of
canned goods nnd Uiilontown, Pa,.'
shipped a carload of flour. These shlpi
merits will go far toward making thV
Orn s cargo a heavy one. ,v
Those persons who havo not contrib
uted and aro holding back might draw'
a good lesson from 6-ycar-oId Mildred'"
Walnwrlght. of Grlscom street. Frank:1
ford. She walked Into the office of tha"
Frankford Dispatch this morning, hold
ing an envelope In her hand. She said It'
contained money sho had been saving for"
six weeks to help some poor "little Bel-"4
fia,'I Klr!a'" Th nveIope contained
J2.3I, and was turned oven to the Belief1
Committee. ' "
Beading citizens have also raised 00tf
and tho Bala-Cynwyd Club and Wllkes
Barro are sending In reports promlslnp
larger amounts. Pennsylvania has savedl
the day, now Philadelphia must make the
victory a decisive one.
"Phlladolphla will not be found want
ing," ventured one man. "The funds will
beat the ship in. Before that ship docks
tho whole amount will have been con
tributed or already In transit."
A meal for a Belgian, bought on ths
Thanksgiving ship, costs but one nickel.
One meal may save a human life, and
there is u world of comfort for the con
tributors in the thought that their money
has bought not one but several meals.
Doubt over the possibility that the ship
may never reach Its destination because?
of fear that Germany will prevent It has
been routed .by an Imperial statement
from Germany. It is stated that that!
Government will welcome the ship forth
relief of women and children. ,
The Orn was reported at th Deli.-?
ware Breakwater, this morning. No
sooner had the ship made Us appearance
than the glad news was flashed to Phils
dlephla. '
