In the first half the local sol diers had the Silverton team on the defensive and in the second half the Salem boys were on the defense. Very few passes were tried owing to the Blippery con dition ot the ball. Punts by both teams were frequent. , According to Captain Hendricks there were but few fumbles made, a remark able fact in view of the condition of the field and ball. No future date have been arranged and it is not likely that there will be any more football for the Salem sol diers this year. From now on bas ketball will occupy the boards. PHOKIS INVADE GERMANY Berlin, Dec. 4. (By Associated Press.) The prohibitionists of Schoenberg, a suburb, having been prevented by the police from holding an open air meeting yes terday, engaged a flock of sand wich men to parade the streets with placards denouncing the evils of alcohol. This aroused the ire of saloonkeepers and distillery mployes, who gar the sandwich men a severe beating. Daugherty Eeplie Washington, Dec. 4. Formal reply to the charges filed against him with the house judiciary com mittee by Representative Keller, republican, of Minnesota had been prepared by Attorney General Daugherty for presentation to the committee when it met today in legislative session to consider the Keller resolution demanding the attorney general's impeachment. Answering categorically the 14 specifications submitted in the Keller charges, Mr. Daugherty "s reply as summarized in a depart ment of justice statement pub lished today, declared in reference particularly to Mr. Keller's de mand for access to department documents, that it showed to be arrayed behind the move for his impeachment ."certain radical leaders seeking to serve notice up on every- future attorney general that if he dares enforce the laws of the United States against such organizations, he does so under the penalty of attempted Im peachment." ' Joined In the move with these he asserted, "were the profiteers, the grafters, the so-called war de frauders'' who sought "by un conscionable and unscrupulous means," to gain knowledge of what those charged with bringing them to justice have secured as the result of the most painstaking, faithful and earnest efforts pos sible" on the part of the attor ney general and those associated with him. , Washington, Dec. 4. President Harding, in transmitting the an nual federal budget for the next tiBcal year frankly told congress "may mat whether there was to " any material reduction in eov ernment expenditures and in taxes in mture years, would depend largely on whether there wag to be a curtailment or expansion of teaeral aid in lines of research improvement and development. riacing the estimated govern ment outlay in 1924 at 3,180, oii.iai, a decrease of about 600,000,000, as-compared vnth estimates for thlB fiscal year, Mr, aiumB canea attention that two-thirds of this total was on ac count of practically fixed charges, such as the public debt, national defense, pensions, world war al lowances and federal aid. There was left, he said, only about one billion dollars in charges subject to administrative control and against which, he added, the retrench ment policy of the government had been directed. little Hope for Cats While expressing the opinion that, some further reduction un- obtedly would result from a re organization of government a. tablishments on a more scientific basis, the president said this alone would not affect such a material cut in operating costs as would Justify the expression of hope for a considerable lessening of expen ditures in the years to come. Taking up the question of fed eral aid, the executive declared that this was a rapidly broadening field of expenditure and that there was a question as to how far the government should participate in it. ' He added that It did not per tain to the normal functions or operations of the business of the government. 1 Public Responsible. fThese extraneous activities," he jContinued, "have flowed from laws, enacted pursuant to popular demand, and I take thlB occmiu to refer to them for the purpose of , showing that the taxation which necessarily results in pro- This story deals, primarily, with a mother.
