All OF these players are veterans OF

watched the squad in its tri-weekly

far the fastest that ever represented
this city. All of the players are
swift, aggressive and heady, and

He took up the game at Port Arthur
In 1901, and the next two years found
him the individual star OF the Portage
Lake team, which won the national
championship during those two win
ters. The next three years found
him captain OF the 500 septet, thrice
champions OF the International league.
thereafter he played in all parts of
the north country, winding up his
career as player at Cobalt in 1913.
Jones was a goal tender, and his class
was such that he was repeatedly
picked as the best guardian of the
cage on the continent He was also
always close student OF the game.

His early season showing indicates
that Detroit was very fortunate in
securing him this winter as the local
mentor.

In 1857, the year of the Indian

Such is the history of Britain.
By comparison the German record
is clean. George Bernard Shaw has
further proven the truth of my claim.
For a hundred years the relations
between the United States and Ger
many have been friendly. They are
friendly now. Germany does not ask
our aid She approves our neutrality
and relies on the great spirit of
American justice to all peoples
The America that freed Cuba and
is unselfishly aiding Mexico to real
liberty will gladly extend the square

and pray for peace and justice to the
suffering people of Europe.
