The statement of the American am
bassador, James w. Gerard, regard

ed in the German press. The Kreuz
Zeitung says that no objection can be
raised to the point of view taken,
which is thoroughly objective and

spirit of neutrality. He makes the
suggestion that the American govern

Waterville, Me-, Dec. 1.-(SpeciaD.-
Town and gown. and even state and ma
tional figures, laid aside their duties and
cares. tonight, and gathered at one com
age to the mighty football team of Colby
college that brought the championship
banner to Watervilie this year for the
first time in semi-decade. 1t was
wonderful assenablage of youth. eager,
robust and bristling with life; of mer-
chants and professional men, glad to be
the impetus and foundation as well as
teh hosts of such an occasion; of politi-
cians and State and government officials,
who well realized the significance of
lfe's journey from college days to posi-
tons of responsibility in which the
American people had placed them. All
these differences were forgotten. how
ever, when the doors of the dining room
were closed about them and they found
themselves all good fellows" for one
evening.
Music, laughter. wit and wisdom there
were a plenty. The material man was
we'll satisfied with the splendid menu
that Manager Cook had arranged and
served as only he can serve it. Then
there came the wise and witty sayings
from the men who know. The memories
of the 80 college football players, many
of whom gathered at one table for the
last time, will always be enlivened by
thoughts of the evening they spent as
the guests of neignbors and friends 1t
is doubtful whether any other community
In New England has the friendly feeling
for the college OF its town, as Waterville
has for Colby. No animosity. no cliauish
differences has ever marred the relation
ship between Colby men and the citi-
gems of the city. The best evidence of
this was in the manly tributes that were
paid to her football team, an aggregation
of gentlemen, but aggressive, sturdy
players on the gridiron.
The opening hour was scheduled for
eight. but as early as 7S0 the lobby of
the hotel was thronged. Until the doors
of the dining room were opened the mo-
ments were spent in getting acquainted,
the college men with those townspeople
whom they had not met the visitors from
out-of- thereby with the business men and
students. There was that good fellow
shippy feeling everywhere.
When someone said "All ready the
orchestra that had been stationed near
the door struck up lively march, and
| the 1870 hungry banqueters lost no time in
| filing through the doors and taking their
places at the table. "A large hollow
square table in the center of the room
was reserved for the football men, and
here, together, they sat to enjoy feast

Throughout the courses-and there were
many Of them. including turkey, salads
and a little of everything-the friendly

orchestra would render selection from

plans for the big event, and did what

out. there is no little amount of credit
due. The engineering of such a pro-
gram always incurs a great deal OF
time, worry, labor and confusion. But

German Recovery
1t appears, however, that, fighting
for their very lives, and in the knowl-
edge that great defeat would end
the German defensive and compel
them to fall back on their own from
tiers. the German troops succeeded in
breaking through the Russian lines at
one place and at another in holding
their entertainments against all the
Russian attacks All their banks are
still being harassed by the Cossacks,
but seemingly the Russians are not
now in a position to gain the sweeping
victory they had anticipated.
Successes in South
The losses with the desperate fight
ing that has been going on for fort
night, must necessarily be very heavy
on both sides. Against the Austro-
German forces in the South the Rus
SLAMS continue to gain more decisive
results. They are now in possession
of all the Austrian positions protect,

said to have arrived abreast of Graz

Judge Haley's decision was in re-
ply TO motions by counsel for the re-
spondents for a change Of venue on
the ground that a fair and uppreju-
diced trial could not be obtained in
Aroostook county. He said the condi-
ton of public feeling would be as bad.

The accused, he said, are entitled to
fair treatment and he would see that
they have fair trial.
Motions were filed for both DR.. Dud-

ion holds for whoever is to be tried
first. Judge Haley intimated that at
ter the first trial 1t might be best IA
grant the motion in the case of the

The Maine law provides that trial
shall be held in the district in which
the crime is committed, unless the
court sees fit to change 1t to another

granted.
