tonight:
ION the 9th there was no important
engagement between the lower Vistula

tacks were everywhere repulsed. The
Germans suffered heavy losses especial
" during a violent attack which they
made to the southeast of Skiernewice.
'sBetween the Pilica and the upper Wis

Our troops stormed the village of
Szitniki which was st,ibbornly defended
by the Austrians. The enemy has def
nitely evacuated the left bank Of the

WOULD DEFINE
AMATEURISM
POSITIVELY

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-.Amateurism must
be defined In positive instead of neg
alive terms and must be thoroughly
understood by the athletes and the
public as well, if amateur athletics are
to thrive declared Wilbur p. Bowen,
Of the Michigan Normal School today,
in his address to the Athletic Re
search Society.
The meeting. preceding the conven-
ton of the National, Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, which opens tomor-
row, was largely devoted to the sub
ject of amateurism
In his plea for more accurate knowl-
edge of what constituted an amateur,
Mr.. Bowen said:
I'VE have been piling up negative
regulations and prohibitions until, in
some quarters amateurism is looked
on as petty insistence on details to the
extent of injuring sport"

PLAN CIRCUS TO
SECURE PARK

President E. w. Ellis is full of plans
for the proposed out-of- door circus
and Firemen's muster. A meeting Of the
directors of the Board OF Trade will
be held in the near future when fur
Their plans will probably be made AT
present it is proposed to hold the cir
Gus on the Common during the. en-
tire week of July 4. Local talent will
be employed and some great acts have
already been planned. The Fireman =
muster will probably be held on the
Causeway.
President Ellis told the reporter
Monday that he had an option on the
mill pond at a figure that looked good
to him. The circus is a starter toward
securing the property. Mr.. Ellis and
the rest of the board realize that the
completion of the proposed park at
this point will be a matter of several
years, but it certainly looks at the
present time as if the scheme would
be undertaken. The carrying out of
the plan would be the biggest thing
for the benefit and beautifying of the
city ever attempted.

WORKMEN COMPENSATION
Law URGED AT CONVENTION OF the
ASSN FOR LABOR LECISLA ALTON

Philadelphia. Dec. 2S.-A uniform
workmen's compensation law which
would provide a payment of from 30
to so per cent. of their wages in cases
of occupational accident or diseases
and which would be administered by
state commissions, rather than by the
courts, was urged today at the open
ing session of the joint convention Of
the American Association for Labor
Legislation and the National Confer
ence on Unemployment. Joseph "A.
Parks a member of the Industrial Ac-
cident Board of Massachusetts, de-
clared that the so per cent. standard
of payment provided by most of the
compensation laws now in force is
inadequate In Massachusetts, he said
even the two-thirds standard is in
sufficient.
Il would have the scale of compen-
sation range from so per cent. in tn =

INADEQUATE
SUPPLIES FOR
The SERvIANS

MitroVici, Hungary, Nov. 23.-(Cor-
respondence of The Associated Press).
1t is stated here that the supply de-
partment of the Servian army has
MADE upon it and that in consequence
the troops have suffered great hard
borne out in part by the condition of
500 Servian prisoners who were stand
ing today about one of the three mar
ket places of Mitrovici, clad in rags,
unwashed, unshaven. Very few of the
men had boots-none good ones. Most
of them wore the contrivance of rags
and leather peculiar to the peasants
of the Balkans, and these had become
useless from long marching.
Want also was written on every
face. Many of the men were so weak
that they had to be assisted by their
more robust comrades. The younger
men were in poorer physical condition
than the older ones, though all of them
rad gone through the same hardships.
Somebody handed cigarettes to the
Serbs. Expressions of gratitude were
many and the men frightened up a
little.

through an interpreter. We have been
fighting for three years now. First the

After little while the sorrowful
column of prisoners marched off to-
wards the railroad station, seemingly
glad to get away from the gaping
crowd and with the prospect of the
comparative comforts of a prison camp
as something to be looked forward to.

who is the sole supporter of family.
The minimum payments, Mr.. Parks
said, should range from s. in the case
of a minor having no dependents 20
$40 for employees having one other
person dependent upon them. For eac
other person dependent above one, hi
would raise the minimum So until a
minimum of SIG was reached.
Wallace D. Yaple, chairman of the
Industrial Commission of Ohio, said
that administration of the compensa-
ton laws by commissions was prefer
able to administration by the courts.
The present compensation law for
federal employees was criticized as I'M
