present structure, will prepare these
tentative plans and give estimates on

Philadelphia, Nov. 28. —The great
annual outdoor sporting spectacle, the
Army-Navy football contest with its
attendant glitter of gold-braided uni
forms, patriotic music of big brass
bands, the riot of colors and the in
spiring marching of midshipmen and
cadets, found the weather all that
was to be desired for the game on
Franklin Field to-day. 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.

Lack of Chaperonage in "Calls"; 200 More Hit Trail
Women of all ages jammed into the
tabernacle this afternoon to hear Dr.
Stough's lecture on "The Problems and
Perils of AVomanhood." 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."

GENII BATTLESHIP

Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse Is Re
ported to Have Struck
Mine
By Associated Press
Paris, Nov. 28, 10.45 A. M.—A dis
patch to the Matin from Petrograd
states that it is reported that the Ger
man battleship Wilhelm der Grosse
struck a mine and sank in the Baltic-
Sea. but adds that there is no official
confirmation of the rumor.
The battleship Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse, evidently referred to In the
Matin dispatch, is one of Germany's
old battleships, having been built in
1901. The warship is of 10,790 tons
displacement and carries a crew ot
658 men. Her main battery is com
posed of four 9.4-inch and fourteenth
C-inch guns.

C. V. 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.

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

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.
