SEVERAL new
ATHLETIC CONTESTS

A tug of war is being added to the
several forms Of competitive sport re-
Gently introduced at the Y. NJ. G. a.
gymnasium.
Want of space in the gymnasium
makes it impossible to follow the otfi-
cial rules, Instead of the inch and a
half 1O0-foot rope called for an inch
rope not more than thirty feet or so in
length will have to suffice. Neither
will any cleats be permitted on the
floor, nor the hsfnesslike belt or
"lunger" worn by the end men in the
game rs officially played. The center
mark and the two other lines on the
floor which enter into the game will
not be more than six feet apart.
The tug of war has always held rank
among the most popular athletic con-
tests and Notwithstanding the restrlc-
tions imposed the game as played here
will carry with it a full measure OF
interest and excitement.
The rope will be procured today and
the first contest will take place in the
gymnasium tonight. The contest comes
in at the latter end of the program
after the class exercise.
Among the other competitive sports
recently introduced into the gymnas-
ium here is the Medicine Ball Toss !
and the Indian Club Pass. " Both
have become very popular and are par
ticiEated in with the keenest plea
sure.
The Medicine Ball Toss" affords
plenty of quick, hard work. The ball
has diameter of some fifteen or eigh-
teen inches and weighs nine pounds
The men stand in circle with one in
the center Great deXterity is exacted
OF the man in the ring whose aim is
as the ball is thrown across the ring
TO strike it in such way as to cause
it to touch the floor. Succeeding in
this he is permitted to leave the cent
er and the man who threw the ball
last takes his place in the ring. The
trick is TO get out OF the center as
quickly as possible.
The Indian Club Pass" is also a
very exciting game requiring quick
action, steady nerves and careful pass
ing OF the Indian club Along with
the rest 1t comes in under the head OF
competitive games.

RUSSIANS
IN DANVILLE

The war between Russia and Japan
has turned the thoughts OF a good
many of OuI citizens toward the ma
tives of Russia in our midst, some OF
whom are supposed to be in.danger of
being recalled home for the purpose
of fighting the Japs.
Tie natives of Russia i'll Danville do
not constitute very numerous class,
all told probably being less than
twenty y-five. More than halt of these
are Russian Hebrews. the remainder
being natives of Poland.
The Russian Hebrews as fast as eligi.
BILE generally have been thoughtful
enough to get naturalized and as Am
erican citizens can defy Russia. Those
unnaturalized according TO the gen.
orally accepted view are likely to be
summoned home III the present crisis
and made to take up arms.
Several of the best informed Rus
slams i'll Danville were interviewed
yesterday. Opinion with them seems
to differ as to the authority Of thC
| Gar over Russians in America, nat
uralized or otherwise. All agree
however, that there is no probability
Of force being employed by Russia t
! bring back emigrants, 10 matter how
big bluff it may put up. On thC
whole it does not seem that there are
any of the Gear s subjects in Danvillt
who are losing sleep through fear o.
being recalled.
The ancient system Of casting lot
employed by Russia to determine il
every case whether a young man shal
enter the army or be exempt from
military duty is well described by the
Russians here Each one of them
when 81 years of age drew his lot,
which decided his destiny in life. One
| of those interviewed drew a high mum
! Der and was stood aside in reserve
which gave him chance to "emi
! CRATE" the other one drew low mum
Der and in accordance went into the
army.
The system OF drawing lots is st
cunningly devised as to leave the sub
ject Of the Czar no chance of escape,
if it should happen that an emergency
as at present should arise in nationa
affairs that requires a sweeping army
To suppose case, in a municipality
where 500 young men arrive at ,
about the same time the quota TO
military duty may be number rela.
lively small. Therefore the Young maj
who draws a low number, unless dis
qualified is sure to go into the army
while the man who draws 500 or an,
Of the higher numbers should have
good chance of escaping. But the lat
ter is stood aside not dismissed ant
should it happen through the larg
number disqualified, doscrtions, etc
that the quota needed is not filed h
is called back and put into the army
! Therefore no one has any assurance o
escaping.
In many parts Of the empire through
the large number of desertions, ,practi
cally all the young men remaining ar
impressed into military duty. Th
army which Russia can put into tn
field, therefore, scarcely knows a limit

Parties interested III the project of
prospecting for coal at Kipp s. Run
feel confident that their plans will
carry Alright and that in the near tut
ure drilling will begin over some four
hundred acres i'll extent.
Nothing short of the most up-to-date
methods are contemplated Instead of
the SLOW and laborious process of
digging a diamond drill will be EN-
ployed, which will sink thirty to forty
feet per day.

When Johnny Comes Marching Home"
when Johnny Comes Marching

beautiful music, in which patriotism

opera or musical comedy of the pres

tastes, to the lovers of sentimental or

ceptionally good and elaborate, i'll fact
at least two scenes are spectacular IN

up of girls who are pretty. the tableaux
are inspiring and the boys in blue sing
with enthusiasm and in tune, and the
opera is American to the baCkb bone.

Not Without its Charms.

We all agree that we have epxerienc.
ed genuine winter, whether we term
it old or new fashioned. Winter has
come and held on with the grip of a
mighty monster of nature. Everything
has been held as in the grasp of giant
for full three months, with scarcely a
single slackening Of the hold. The
sun, the monarch of the skies, has ex-
peIienced one of the greatest checks in
his roand for half century according
to the weather records. Whatever may
have been the other fruits of such a
winter, il is evident that this one has
been marked by a large number of
social affairs. The merry ring of the
sleigh bells have enlivened almost
every hour of the night as well as of
the day. The sleighing and surprise
parties have been exceptionally num-
erous. II the extreme cold and the
abundant snow have tended to quick
en- that old time sooiability of which
our fathers and mothers have told us,
it will 60 far to atone for the icy
pavements and frozen pipes, and en-
able us to truthfully say Hail, Thou
Blessed Winter. -

for an increased population of North

Monday morning upwards of fifty

anxious to escape by renouncing their
allegiance to Russia and swearing to
defend the Constitution Of the United
States.
Some of the applicants were quite
intelligent and spoke our language

cerning the existing conditions in the
far east, but did not hesitate TO declare
that they preferred tho United State.
to their native land. The less intel
ligent gabbled like flock Of geese anC
it is doubtful if they themselves knew
what they were saying. Some of then
presented their first papers and OF
course were told that they would have
to wait which aroused their tempers
as they expected to be made American
citizens in one, two, three order.
Some of them will likely be fooled
as they hardly come up to the require
ments of an American citizen.
