Women Football Coaches
Plentiful in New England
Ronton, Oct. 29.—Boston now has
its women football coaches and
referees, and Is proud of them. Of
course, it's another result of the
war taking so many of the young
athletes, but the women are mak
ing good.
Any weekday afternoon from 4
to 5 you will see a horde of
youngsters mastering the finer
points of the game at the public
school playgrounds under the di
rection of women teachers.
When the men teachers who in
other years had charge of the ath
letic sports of the boys, were call
ed away to war the question of
how to properly supervise the
schoolboy games became a serious
problem. Two young women teach
ers of the Quincy School came to
the rescue and volunteered to take
men's places.
This news should be no shock,
j for in England women are taking
the place of men in almost every
| activity. "I must tell you what
! struck me most In England was
; the English women," writes a sol
dier. "In the streets you afe con
stantly meeting women in uni
form. These are the workers from
the front, the active helpers of the
fighters In the firing line. They
j are either home on short leave or
i are starting for the front. It is
easy to see from their determined
. expressions that the grim bußi
i ness of war absorbs their whole
| life, all their energies. Among
them one finds women hailing from
England's most remote colonies,
I who came voluntarily forward to
'do their bit' for their mother coun
: try.
"I was much interested to see
! that women have replaced men in
almost all spheres of public life;
i they dash through the streets of
London driving heavy touring |
1 cars and motor lorries, they have
I turned into porters, and one finds
them in most government and pub
lic offices; in the fields behind the !
plow, or in the woods wielding
the ax and saw. Man is at the i
front. Woman has stepped into ■
his place in every walk of life, I
and how successfully! A 'friend j
told me that the cultivated area
of England has increased 400 per
cent, since the war. Yet most of •
it is worked by women."
People Resent the
zPresident's Action
Ex-Speaker George E. Alter, of!
the State House of Representatives, j
who came over from Pittsburgh on 1
business yesterday, declared lastj
night that the President's course in
partisan poltics will' arouse resent
ment and will mean election of more
Republican Congressmen.
Mr. Alter said:
"Sproul and the whole ticket will
be elected without a doubt. We
should also gain some congressmen.
The old Republican spirit has been
greatly aroused within the last few
days, as a result of the President's
amazing attempt to use the war sit
uation as a Democratic campaign
card. You can find this feeling
everywhere.
"I notice another very interesting
interpretation of the New Freedom
in a telegram sent into Missouri by
the Director General of the rail
roads, notwithstanding, the ban
against railroad activity in politics.
It is in support of the Democratic
candidate for Senator from Miss
ouri, and contains this interesting
sentence: 'Folk's staunch 1 support
of the President, as well as his strong
stand for the things for which the
President stands, would make him
an invaluable supporter of the Pres
ident and the administration in the
important and vital tasks that lie
ahead of us.' Doubtless it is nat
ural that the single test here indi
cated should appeal to the son-in
law but it will be a sorry day if
it ever is adopted by the American
people."

ASSERTS KNOX OF
WILSON APPEAL
Condemns President's Pro
posal That Congress Abdi
cate; Penrose Speaks
Washington. Oct. 29.—Peace nego
tiations and President Wilson's ap
peal to his fellow-countrymen to re
turn a Democratic Congress were
the vehicles of a partisan debate in
the Senate yesterday which continued
throughout the session and blocked
plans for adjournment of Congress
over the elections.
The discussion, which was opened
by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania,
Republican and former secretary of
state was an attack on the President's
appeal to the electorate, became gen-_
eral. Republicans sharply criticised
the President for carrying on peace
discussions with the Central powers
and for enunciating terms and prin
ciples of peace.
Adjournment Plan Bntked
The Republicans also overturned
the plans of the Democratic leaders
of the Senate and House to adjourn
over the election, and forced Con
gress to remain in session. The House
early in the ddy adopted a resolution
providing for adjournment from to
day until November 12. The Repub-.
lican Senate leaders refused to agree
to It, however, and the House was
forced To'take only a three-day re
cess.
Outrageous, Maya Ivnox
"A few days ago," said Senator
Knox, "the country was astounded
►and shocked to find the chief execu
tive calling for the election of Demo
cratic senators and representatives
| precisely In order that his Individual
authority should be untrammeled by
counsel. I pass by the unjust, not to
say outrageous, implications of that
unique document of partisan politics.
"When there is talk of abdication
of the Kaiser it is a peculiar moment
to propose that the American people
should abdicate their rights to have
opinions, or that the Senate and the
House should abdicate their sworn
and independent duties.
"I ask senators whether it is the
' will of the American people or the
will of Woodrow Wilson that is to
determine the policy of the United
States in the matter of ending this
war and of founding a future peace.
I ask whether they progose the mere
registers* of the will of one man. This
is the issue before us.
"The abdication of the constitu
tional duty of Independent Judgment
by the Senate or House spells auto
cracy. If Democratic members are
for such abdication, then truly the
coming elections have for the Ameri
can people a transcendent import-

Austria's Reply to Wilson
Basel, Oct. 28.—The text of the Austrian reply to Presi
dent Wilson reads:
"Austro-Hungary, accepting all the conditions the Presi
dent haa laid down for the entry into negotiations for an
armistice and peace, no obstacle exists, according to the
judgment of the Austro-Hungarian government to the begin
ning these negotiations.
"The Austro-Hungarian government declares itself
ready, in consequence without awaiting the result of other
negotiations to enter into negotiations upon peace between
Austro-Hungary and the states in the opposing group and ibr
an immediate armistice upon all Austro-Hungarian fronts.
"It asks President Wilson to be so to over
tures on this subject."

out for the count nil the time, or he
does the same to you. The other
evening 15 Boches went by within
25 yards. We had been driving them
bwk, and our lines were not thor
oughly established. The lines being
in a country chateau, it was difficult.
We mude sure they were Huns—
and not all went by. Some will re
main there for all time. It was foot
ball again—knowing where to strike.
For that matter, it was like one of
our big games in 1905. We knew
we were a few points better —and !
we were. That is the same feeling we j
had the other evening."
"Peculiar to relate, a star W. and
J. player was by my side. Corporal
Harold B. Wickerham, of Washing
ton. Pa. A gamer boy never lived.
Tell all Pitties that when Pitt and
W. and J. play again. I'll never root
for W. and J. against Pitt —that's
too much —but, by the eternal, I'll
root with Wickerham, and when the
whole story is known, all the Pitt i
fellows around me will give three |
cheers for 'Wick.' Where I go 'Wick' j
is with me, and there's no task too J
difficult. Because of his valor under i
tire, he has been recommended for
an officer's commission.
"So, you see, we are all together I
here. The strongest rivals in football j
are the staunchcst friends on the ,
battlefield. Lieutenant Yeager, an ;
old State star of 1914, is another one j
of the boys who have delivered un

and while we have lots of fun about;
football, we have the best teumwork
you ever saw."

ance."
During the war, Senator Knox said, ;
the President has spoken with the
"greatest possible variety of ideas
and attitudes" on various questions.
He referred to the President's "peace
without victory" address and what
he termed "readiness after the Lusi
tanla incident to compromise the
U-boat barbarity in return for a half
hearted promise bo try to spare our
ships."
A "spirit of partisanship and se
crecy" was charged against the ad
ministration by Senator Knox, who
said Democrats and Republicans ap
parently suffered equally in this re
spect, except for one conspicuous
case he did not name. The Presi
dent, he said, has held himself "aloof
In isolation" from the people's rep
resentatives and repelled counsel.
Knox Puts Question
"The question is, "said the Sena
tor," shall the conditions upon which
the Senate and the American people j
believe they can safely live at peace .
with Germany and the world—shall
these conditions be decided by the I
fiat of one man or shall they be test
ed by the unbased. sober Judgment
of the nation's representatives whose
duty it will be to accept or reject,
by a two-thirds vote, whatever terms
may be finally presented to end war
and to establish lasting peace?
"Are the American people a free
neople of high spirit and of intel
lectual ability and energy equal to
the obbllgation of democracy, the ob
ligation to form and assert, through
their chosen representatives, their
judgment upon the policies of the
country? Or are we merely a com
placent people/ intellectually indo
lent, lazily acquiescent, looking for
masters, and not for leaders? Which
is the true American? Which type is
the Senate to reflect- In ita action and
thought on behalf of the nation?"
Post Office la Politics
As an evidence of the partisanship
which Republicans claim is being dis
played throughout the government
'by administration representatives.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
produced a telegram which he had
received from a postmaster in Ne
vada. It spoke for itself.
It showed that each postmaster In
Nevada had received a communication
from Ruskin McArdle, chief qlerk of
the Post Office Department and former
secretary to Burleson, stating
that the Postmaster General felt a
deep Interest In the Senatorial race
In Nevada since he had come to know
Senator Henderson (the Democratic
nominee), and esteemed him highly.
Postmasters were requested to advise
McArdle of the political situation in
their communities.
Senator Penrose In his pithy com
ment upon this evidence of the gov
ernment machinery being exerted as
a lever in politics, and which the Ne
vada postmaster has criticised as
"damnable," reminded the Senate
that McArdle, who was blanketed in
to the civil service, was violating the
regulations which forbade govern
ment employes from participating In
politics. The Senator filed with his
telegram a copy of the civil service
rules.
NEWS OF STEELTON
NO HALLOWE'EN
FESTIVITIES
Parties and Other Gatherings
Not to Be llowed Because
of the Epidemic
Burgess McEntee yesterday issued
an order prohibiting all Halloween
parties and gatherings because of
the influenza epidemic. Because of
the improvement in the epidemic sit
uation here parties were being
planned in the hopes that the ban
might be lifted by Wednesday or
Thursday of this week. All indica
tions now point to a continuance of
the quarantine for another week.
All official meetings of the borough
officers have been postponed and
these postponements, together with
the Halloween order, point to at
least another week of quarantine.
The health board is determined to
have the epidemic cleaned up be
fore the quarantine be lifted up, and i
although conditions are continually
improving the epidemic has notj
passed over by any means. At the !
stel plant there is still a great short-1
age of men due to the epidemic. No. i
1 blast furnace is still out of com
mission because of the lack of men,
and other departments are still crip
pled. The local physicians while no
longer rushed as they were a week
ago, still have a large number of
cases on hand, and there are still
thirty-one patients at the-emergency
hospital. Before the quarantine is
lifted there will probably be a thor
ough systematic inspection of cer
tain sections of fhe town in an en
deavor to locate stray cases that may
have escaped attention.
Five members of the- Reserve
Militia under Corporal Stoner were
yesterday sent to Milton for epidemic
duty there.
Mrs. Robbins, president of the
Steelton Chapter, Red Cross, has
asked that any calls for relief in
cases of suffering or distress brought
on by the epidemic be made to the
Red Cross in Steelton. There are
a number of charitable organizations
in town in addition to the many
churches, all of which will be only
too glad to help in any cases of
distress, and there is no need what
soever to ask outside aid t this
time.

Great Need For Student
Nurses Is Pointed Out
Mrs. Frank A. Robbins, president
of the Steelton Chapter of Red Cross
has received a letter from the na
tional headquarters asking her to
terest young women of the town to
take up hospital training as nurses.
The profession has always been an
honored one, and the present need
for nurses because of the war has
attached to the profession an honor
greater than ever. Hospitals in all
sections of the country are in great
need of students and are offering in
ducements'that make it possible for
almost any intelligent girl to take
up the work. Requirements have
been lowered and salaries increased.
For those who can fulfill the require
ments this call for student nurses is
a call to patriotism. Mrs. Robbins
will be glad to give all Information
necessary as to requirnents, etc., to
all those interested. That many girls
of Steelton are fitted for such work
has been well proved by the excel
lent work that has been done by
them in the last several weeks at the
emergency hospital, whore their ef
forts have helped much to restore to
health so many of the patients
brought there for treatment.

Coach Bezdek So Good Uncle Sam
Takes Him From Penn State
No college in the country is in
harder luck than Penn State, for now
Uncle Sam has commandeered the
football coach and general athletic di
rector, Hugo Bezdek. When the War
Department learned that Bezdek.
some weeks ago launched the mass
athletics idea successfully at Penn
State for the first time in American
colleges. President Sparks was asked
to relieve him temporarily so that he
might institute a similar system of
recreative sports at camps and other
eastern colleges.
He is wanted now to serve with
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities as a supervisor of physical
education in one of the seven dis
tricts into which the country has been
divided for the purpose of standardiz
ing athletic activities in the S. A. T.
C. colleges and Army camps.
Wants Bill Taft
as Baseball Chief
For Big Leagues
'A complete reorganization In
baseball is necessary," says George
Tebeau, one-time owner of the
Cleveland Club, and one who knows
the game from top to bottom.
"First of all, the supreme power
of baseball must be changed. There
is no greater admirer of Ban John
son than 1 am. Not In a personal
way. but you've got to acknowl
edge his baseball ability. But Ban
does not belong on the National
Commission any more than does
the president of the National or
Garry Herrmann, a club owner, be
long there. , ... .
"If baseball is to be re-establish
ed on a firm basis ,we need a man
like former President Taft. who is
a baseball fan In the first place and
also possesses a wonderful legal
mind. If not Taft, then Judge Lan
dis would make a wonder in that
position. Neither of these men has
an Interest In either league. For
that reason either could sit and re
view a case unprejudiced and with
out bias in either direction. Place
one of them in that important po
sition. Pay him a salary sufficient
to induce him to give his time to
baseball, and then we'd get some
where to say nothing of the
prestfge he would bring to the
ga, As the National Commission
stands now, Johnson is prejudiced
toward the American League, and
naturally leans toward that or
ganization in all matters. The
was true of Tener when head of
the National League. Garry Herr
mann has no business there at all
because he is a club owner and
must naturally favor his own in
terests when decisions are render
ed It was all wrong, and the pub
lic has bsgun to see the light."
Tebeau believes baseball will
benefit greatly from the rest it will
have during the war. He is con
vinced that no brand of baseball
except the organized professional
kind, with leagues and pennant
tights, will prosper, for to be Inter
esting he thinks baseball must
have a pennant fight.
"I think baseball will be greater
than ever when play is resumed,"
he added. "It's the great national
pastime and you cannot eliminate
It Over in France right now they
are manufacturing ball players.
When these youngster come back
they'll need only developing, and
that will be an easy matter., be
cause we still had with us season
ed and experienced players when
the game ended in September."

When Dick Harlow left the Blue
and White for service, Penn State
was in a stew for an athletic expert
and the securing of Bezdek, manager
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was some
thing in the way of a shock. Very
shortly it was seen that the enterpris
ing school had made the wisest choice
ever. As baseball strategist Bezdek
showed extraordinary ability, getting
