In the next few hours a secret, which has been carefully kept from her knowl- edge for a week, will be revealed by city Bospital surgeons to Miss Mary Moent- man, 17 years old, of 8410 Michigan ave- nue She will learn that she has no arms. While she was feeding cloth bags into a rotary press at the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills. 612 South Seventh street, Nov. 5, her hands were caught between tho rollers and crushed. Amputation was necessary, but the young woman did not know the operation was performed. Bandages have been kept about her body in such a way that she thinks her arms merely have been tied down. Hospital surgeons say, it is not unusual for persons who have undergone an am- putation to have the delusion that the missing member is still there. No one who visits Miss Moentman is permitted to speak of the loss of her arms. Sev- eral men styling themselves “adjusters” have attempted to see her, but have not bee permitted to do 80. : MEXICAN GOVERNOR PROHISITS “BULL AND CHICKEN FIGHTS Ruler of State Near National Capital, in Decree, Says Sports Are Im- moral and Debasing.

Guggenheim, in charge of the speech Sine at Washington University, wanted to talk about the Ennis talking method. Supt. Blewett refused permission and ordered him to sit down. The meeting broke up in confusion and afterward there was quite an unhampered ex- change of speech between the Superin- tendent and Dr. Guggenheim. Both exhibitions took place in they presence of about 100 public school teach- ers and principals who had. been invited by Supt. Blewett. Ennis using a dozen stammerers from the schools, had drilled them until most of them could say: Willie will be at school,” and inquire: “How much is your dest creamery butter per pound?“ without stuttering and had demonstated his con- #n extent that one of the brightest boys unconsciously bent his knees when the professor did so. Ennis Agrees to Discussion. Ennis had asked the teachers to send stutterers, young and old to his hotel for private treatment, when Dr. Guggen- heim arose. Supt. Blewett, arising at tne same time and not seeing Dr. Gug- genhęim. or ignoring him, expressed his appreciation of the demonstration. Dr. Guggenheim finally, by snapping his fingers, attracted the attention of Ennis and asked if he would permit discus- sion of the demonstration. Ennis as- sented and Dr. Guggerfteim announced his name and profession. Before he couli proceed Supt. Blewett sprang to his feet and in- terrupted him. He wanted to know what was the purpose of the pro- posed discussion. Dr. Guggenheim said the purpose was to arrive at « conclusion as to the value of the method which had been demon- strated. Supt. Blewett said there was no need of discussion for such a pur- pose. The principals and teachers present had witnessed the demon- stration, he said, and they would go the Post-Dispatch in the St. Louis even- ing field. —— — — Season. 5 the Post-Dispatch over Nine Buying Days / Until Thanksgiving—the inaugural of the Holiday The St. Louis merchants realize the time is short and are exploiting their store news in the Post- Dispatch .every day.

SPORTSMAN’S PARK, Nov. 13.—Elevens representing Wash- ington and St. Louis Universities lined up this afternoon in a struggle for the football championship of the city and State. It was an ideal afternoon for the game, clear and with just enough snap in the atmosphere. At 1:45 o’clock Coach Edumnds of Washington said he had received no communication from St. Louis Univers- ity faculty members, asking that Touch- stone, the star Washirvton quarter, be permitted to play. Touchstone was barred at the eleventh hour by the Washington authorities on the grounds that he was ineligible because he ac- cepted pay for coaching last season. Gray, the Washington tackle, it was an- nounced, would remain in the lineup in Touchstone’s place, MacRoberts going in at right tackle. The stands filled up rather slowly. The first real exictement was when the Washington Medics marched on the field at 1:50 o’eclock. They carried a stretcher, in which was supposed to be the corpse of a St. Louls goat. After circling the field, they found seats on the left side of the grandstand. At 2:05 o’clock two rube St. Louis U. teams took the gridiron and start- ed a burlesque football game. Their fun was short-lived, however, for two minutes later eleven husky Pikers rushed on the field for a pre- liminary signal Arill and the rubes yielded the gridiron to them.

Louls "we ma ly min ors, Sanguine Pikeway supporters were loath to believe that the trans- fer of Ralph Gray from right tackle to quarterback would in reality weaken Kkdmunds team, but they were not loath.to take advantage of the new betting price. Touchstone was by no means a brilliant perform- er, being lamentably slow in re- turning punts, while he was of little value in advancing the ball. However, he was a good field gen- eral, cool under fire, and quick to divine the weakness of the enemy’s defense. Gray, though, is a finished product and Washington will suffer chiefly in being robbed of its reserve strength by the loss of Touchstone. if none of the regulars is injured and the Pikers have no need to call on the landstrum, the transfer of Gray to quarter should not blast the Pike- way hopes. McRoberts will play Gray's tackle. In other respects the Washington team as on edge for today’s game. Se are the Billikens. Post-time in- formation from the St. Louis U. camp has it that Eddie Welch positively will start at end, while Stanley Wynn also is ready for emergency duty at fullback.

LONDON. u 13.—A dispatch from Saloniki, wane, to Reuter’s Telegram Co., says F renen attacks on the Bulgarian po- sitions continue to be successful and an important French force is now within a mile and a quarter of Veles, all around which town French cavalry detach- ments are active. The French have occupied several villages on the right bank of the Var- dar River. A junction of the French and Servian troops before Babuna Pass, which has been rumored for the last few days, has not yet been effected. The continued landing of British and French troops at Saloniki is causing scme uneasiness to Bulgaria and Tur- ‘key, and the Ministers of those two Pow- ers have again protested to the Greek Government, which ‘took formal notice of their protest. The determination of the entente a lies in their Balkan campaign is shown by the large force they are sending to the Balkans, and news was received from Rome yesterday that Italy also had decided to intervene in this re- gion, in a manner worthy of ber great- ness” and to give sufficient support to the Hritish and French to assure a complete triumph. This is said to have had some influence on Greece and Ru- mania. Rumania, however, is waiting for the developments of the Russian plans.

The Princeton practice ended quick- ly and for half an hour the gridiron was vacant. At 1:50 the crowds in the Yale stands rose with a cheer as Capt. Wilson dashed onto the field, followed by his Blue warriors. For a few min- utes Yale had the gridiron to themselves as the Princeton team was back in the locker room.
