and gets the best coaches in the

How to practice to become a
first-rate pitcher, how to train for a

strokes in swimming-these and a
hundred other topics of the great
est interest to boys-to girls, too
for that matter-are touched upon
in this important department of

ed" is the second volume of new
series of school readers intended to

an idea of the habits, manners of
living, the stage of civilization of
the different countries, their loca-
ton and their features of transpor-
tation and commerce, yet it is all
told in such a charming way that
to read it is pleasure. 1t is espec-

Territory and Cut Up
Their Forces.
GERMARy'S PRICE OF PEACE
President Wilson Asks Kaiser His
Terms-AIiies Say They Must
Stamp Out Teutonic Mil
itancy First.
Summary OF EvenlS. }

The French-British allied army
continues to assault the retreat
ing German army of French in
vasion, inflicting appalling dam
age. The kaiser's force number
ing million and half men has
been reduced by 100000, and
driven northward and eastward
nearly a hundred miles from
Paris.
The Belgians have advanced
out of Antwerp, cut the line of
communication between Brussels
and Louvain, both cities occupied
by the Germans and have attack
ed the enemy successfully. 1t is
reported that such a large pro-
portion of the German army oc-
cupying Belgium has been with
drawn to sLpport the army fight
ing France and that fighting
Russia, in Prussia, the Belgians
are preparing to re-take Brussels
and Louvain.
Austria has suffered very severely
during the last week. The Russians
have overrun the provinces of Galicia
and Bukawina, defeating the Austrians
in a general conflict along the Russo
Austrian border lasting seventeen
days. Servian troops have succe sful-
ly invaded southern Austria, and re-
ports say the Servians and Russians
are pushing from two directions upon
the city of Budapesth, whence they
will advance upon Vienna.
Germany has had moderate success
in hindering the invasion of East Prus-
sia by Russia. The Slavs have taken
Konigsberg and have covered consid-
cradle territory thereabouts, but they
have been twice beaten with. severe
losses, and temporarily driven back,
by the defenders.
President Wilson has formally asked
Germany if she will consider peace
proposals of any sort at this time. 1t
is understood the allies have said they
are willing to talk over proposition
looking to the end of hostilities.
Peace Makers Are Active.
The movement for peace began
about ten days ago in New York. when
the German ambassador, Count Won
Bernstorff, discussed the matter with
Oscar Straus, American member OF
the International Peace Tribunal. Mr..
Straus communicated with the State
Department at once, and the President
and Secretary Bryan Immediately
sounded the various European ambas-
sadOrs.
1t is understood that the allies will
be willing to treat with peacemakers
on the condition that Germany with
draws from France and Belgium. An
indemnity has not been mentioned.
1t is likely, according to Washington
officials, that the treaty, when it does
