Doc. 0. The war debt of the Ottoman empire is said by experts to have increased bss than that of any otht-r nation. Her bonded indebtedness was increased by only one new loan of about . SO, 000, ('00, and. adding to th'.s other increases in obligations suot:frtH home military requisitiens and advances from Austria and Germany, her war expenses ran to only $i0'o00,O00. Consequently, allowing for various offsets, he-r postwar indebtedne-ss amounts to about $1,O0,"00,O00. Comiarion of Debts.

Tlie empire met war costs by requisitions and by printing in Germany 135.000,000 Turkish paper pounds, or normally about $r,S(,ooo,üü". but this, according to experts, cannot he considered a government liability. Hears No Interest. P. is not a financial burden as it bears no interest, and also tho proper administrative body of tho peace conference can at will have it cancelled. Turkey's paper money, it is claimed, has not depreciated as much as that of her allies. Counterfeiters do rot -a-em to have operated here extensively, due to the lack of holshe vism and good printing presses. In Mesopotamia Turkish paper mon ey is refused since the- Fritish occupation, which the Turks do not con- . sidor fair since the paper money was J issued for the whole of the Ottoman j emniro which made war as a whole, i

FOOTBALL GAMES

Farrell Tells of Manner in Which Two Important Games Were Won. UY iiknuy l. FAKKFIX. (Unite! I'rtvs StatT Crrsixiu!:iit. ) NEW YORK, Dec. '.. Two big battles of the "Rig Three" scries were- about over. In tho hnal minutes of play when the gray shadows of dusk had fallen over the gridirons and tho spectators we-r working their way to the exits, a fumble was made-, Slipping tvim j;rasp of a jcrseye 1 arm, the' ball rollcil ami beu:iced acros an op-m field in the shadow of a goal post. In th" Prince ton-Vale game. Seheerer, the sub halfback of the Tigers snatched the ball and ran for a touchdown winnine; the game. In the Vale-Harvard game, Rein hardt, the Yale end fedl on the ball and lost the fame. The way tho.S: two gridiron huskies played the cards dealt by fatewa.s a vital factor in bringing glory to one and discredit to the other. Hccomos lino. Seheerer took a chance and became a hero. Reinhardt played safe and won for himself the unenviable crown of bone. It's a fundamental principle of the old game to fall on the ball. Princeton has forcoken the beaten path of tho "nineties" and Yale sticks to it. Therein lies the difference. The score was tied. C to 6, late in the tlnal quarter of the Vale-Princeton game. Most of the ii.00 0 spectators in the huge New Haven bowl were on their feet ready to give a final yell for both tho Tiger and tho Rull Dog. An atmosphere of uneasiness permeated the blue- stands. Vale was in possession of the ball on her own fifteen yard line. Just a slip and one of the noted "breaks" of the game might turn tho tide It diel. Capt. Callahan, the Eli center, suggested a lateral pass. Neville took the pass from Callahan and tossed it wide to the speeding Kempton who was heading around riuiit end. The Yale emarterback missed the toss and the ball rolled across the gridiron Into an open tield. Thelanky Seheerer headed tho rush ef Tigers for the pigskin. He could have fallen tipon it and played safe but ho didn't. He stooped over on the run. got the ball in a grasp of his big hands and ran fifteen yarels for a touchdown. Same Setting. Repeat the same stage Setting a week liter with Harvard and Yale as the performers. The Crimson was leading 10 to 3 and Yalo had only a few minutes to score a touchdown or go down in defeat. Again the offer of fate was made on the lift on yard line. The Crimson line was strewn over tho field in a tangled mesg with bluo jerseys and Casey, the elusive Harvard backfield star was spcedirg around the end. Hedropped tho ball and It rolled out into open space. Three Klis dashed for the ball with not a Crimson man near. Reinhardt headed the rush and had only to grab up the ball and romp across the lino. Rut he didn't. He threw himself forward in a dive and "grounded" tho pigskin with two long lanky arms arounel it. The Rlue offense failed and the pa me was lc- it. Both examples of which go to prove that it isn't the chance in football that counts as much as what is made of it. SOUTH BEND MAN IS ON CANAL CONGRESS Spec ial t The Nr '.vs-Tina-s. : WASHINGTON.
