The sky was clear and there was a crispness in the air that made heavy wraps feel comfortable. More than 33,000 tickets were i:s sued and the crowd that traveled to Franklin Field was the largest that ever saw an Army-Navy game ir. Philadelphia. A few tickets were in the hands of speculators despite the rigid rules laid down for the distri bution of the seats and these brought almost prohibitive prices. The soldiers entered to-day's game a slight favorite largely because of their season's record. The midship ment always put up a hard battle and it is a tradition of the game be tween these two arms of the govern ment service that the favorite team seldom wins. The coaches before tho game reported their elevens in ex cellent condition. While the partisans of the army team are taking some bets at 9 to 8 and 5 to 4 a good many wagers were made at even money. Talks Behind Closed Doors The two teams were .kept away from the crowds in the hotel district. After breakfast the men broke up into groups for short walks about the city and before luncheon there were the usual final talks to the men be hind closed doors. Special trains carrying thousands of rooters came rolling in from New York and Washington early in the day and continued to arrive until shortly before the game began. The Washington contingent was unusually large, several members of President Wilson's cabinet being included in the crowd. Most of the general staff of tin- army and virtually all the ranking officers of the navy stationed in the eastern part of the country were in the city for the game. The regiment of midshipmen from Annapolis and the battalions of ca dets from West Point arrived in spe cial trains during the morning and were given a short furlough before the game to meet relatives and friends. The two contingents are un der the same strict discipline while in this city as at the academies.

Long before the doors opened they waited for the first chance to get in like a mob at a football game or a crush at a bargain counter. Fully 9,000 attended the meeting. Dr. Stough preached some solid ad vice for women in general and espe cially for young women, in whose sal vation and morality rests the future of the race, according to his statement. In reference to parents permitting daughters to have beaux without chaperonage he said. "What is not fit for a girl's mother to hear isn't fit for the girl to hear Auto joyrides, theater parties, late hours —all are wiles of the devil which have spoiled many good girls."

BRIDGE PIER BASES NEARLY DOE Hundreds of Promenaders Attrac ted Daily to Job; to Com plete Work in Week Barring such natural interruptions |, as high water, extremely cold weather, j etc., the concrete pier bases for the' proposed new Cumberland Valley Rail road bridge across the Susquehanna will be complete. From 100 to 150 men are employed daily on the job and to date only one new pier foundation and the bases of two of the old piers are yet to be finished. The work is being done by the Cumberland Valley Railroad Com pany itself and its own foreman, G. F. Byers. is in charge. He has had a wide range of experience in work of i this sort and it is largely through his ] splendid efforts that the job has pro-{ gressed to such a point. Work was only begun about September 1. l'icrs Are of Concrete The piers for the bridge will be ol concrete, the old masonry piers beinfe used with the new concrete structure* between. The old pieces, too, are be ing encased in concrete. The founda tions will be built to a point a few feet out of water so as to eliminate possible trouble early next Spring after the last layer of slabs has been placed on the river dam and the height of the river stage has been increased from one to three feet. The method of construction Is Inter esting and attracts scores of river wall promenaders daily. Great double cof ferdams are built at the point at which the pier base is to be constructed These are made as nearly watertight as possible. At a distance of thret. feet or more all around the structure an oute.r shell is built, thus making a shell within a shell. Between the two board "skins" sand bags are placed on the river bed to prevent the earth till that goes between the two lines of boards from (lowing away. Then the space between the frame partitions is filled with earth, after which the water within the inner form is pumped out and the placing of the concrete is started. Subway F.artli Used Earth for the "fill" is hauled out over the bridge from the Second street subway and dumped through long chutes from the car bottoms. The concrete, cement and so on is loaded on wheelbarrows on tho shore and hauled by wheelbarrows over narrow plank bridges that arc built over the water from pier base to pier base. To date high or cold water has in terfered very little with the workmen. Once or twice unexpected depths had to be touched before solid foundations could be reached.

Only one infantry attack was made in that region yesterday and it was repulsed, says to-day's French official announcement. A German aeroplane carrying three men was brought down by artillery fire, the French War Office reports, resulting in the death of one of the aviators and the capture of the others. The German artillery fire is said to be diminishing in intensity and in some districts to have suffered severely from the French guns. , England is confronted with the ne cessity of energetic action, according to advices to-day from Berlin, to pro tect her interests in the near Fast.

Thus far there have been no indications that the procla mation has led to uprisings affecting British interests elsewhere, although on several occasions there have been reports from Berlin of dissension in India. The destruction of a German battle ship is reported in Paris. The Wil helm der Grosse is said to have been sunk by a mine in the Baltic, but there was no continuation of the report. Situation a Mystery An otiiclal communication from the Russian army of the Caucasus tells of further heavy fighting by the Russians who have invaded Turkey, but gives no indication of the outcome. The situation in Russian Poland was as much of a mystery as ever. Private dispatches from Petrograd make fur ther statements that Russia has over whelmed the Germans, but they are not confirmed officially. Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander, re ports successes In several engagements, but says nothing to indicate that the decisive blow has been struck. On the western battlefields there was continued calm. The British fleet is said to have resumed bombardment of German positions on the Belgian coast. Along the front the lighting apparently was limited to small skir mishes.
