FOR FlETcHER'S
GAS TO RIA

(By AID

Why shouldn't we have a little
Saturday afternoon leasue all our
own in Ohio and adjoining counties?
There are several towns within reach
of one another in this section which
should be glad to enter into such a
combine, and it would not only in
sure the fans Of good game every
week, but would considerably en-
liven the interest. A commission or
board of directors might be chosen
to select regular umpires and rules
governing the games and thereby ell
inmate the wrangling and argueing
so disgusting to the local patrons OF
the game. The only question is, would
it pay running expenses. The various
clubs might be confined to Ohio coun-
ty, and then the travelling expenses
would be very small. Anyway. it's
good winter gossip.
Manager Casebier has been seated
in his winter quarters chuckling at
the troubles Of Murphy, Evers and 9TH
ers, but no more does he laugh. His
face has taken on a serious aspect

Tokio.-It is officially announced

peared quickly, and in the darkness it
was possible to rescue only II men.

stoned officers and 189 seamen

GERMANS HAL TED
AT RIVER USER.
Belgian Army StubbornIy Re-
slsts Advance Along
the Coast.
BOTH LINES HOLD FAST
Allies RepuIsed In Attempts To Drive
Germans From LiIIe-eermans
Fail In Efforts To Break
Through.

London--Fighting of the most des-
perate character is in progress in West
Flanders and Northwestern France.
The Belgian Army, supported by the
Allies, is holding stubbornly to the
line Of the River User, and thus far
has successfully halted determined ef-
forts of the Germans to advance along
the coast.
This is announced in the latest
French official communication and ad-
mitted in the report of German general
headquarters, which says fighting has
been going on since Sunday in the vic
unity Of Nieuport, which stands at the
crossing Of the river near the sea.
Advance On Lille Checked.
A little further to the south the
Allies are attempting to advance to-
word Lille for the relief of that city,
which has been in German hands for
some time. They also are pushing on
to the north and south of Arras.
To the southwark, at the bend of the
line, the Germans continue to make
furious but futile attempts to break
the French line. Along the Meuse in
the east, according to the French ac-
count, the Germans have failed to re-
pulse the French troops, who debouch-
ed along the territory in which is
situated the Camp des Romaines, now
in the hands of the Germans, in an at
tempt to cut out that portion of the
German army which is thrust TOWARD
st. Mihiel.
Reinforcements Coming Up.
Generally speaking, the French. claim
to have made some detailed progress
at various points along the front. Paris
reports that the Allies have destroyed
Is German machine guns, two of which
were armored, near La Bassee and q
battery of German heavy artillery in
the environs of st. Mihiel.
Both sides are bringing reinforce
ments to the western front, where one
of the supreme struggles of the war Is
on. The Germans are not bringing
new troops from the east, but are
throwing every available man in Bel
| GUM into the firing line.
5eIgians Hold Fast.
The communication given out this
| afternoon said:
"In Belgium, in spite of violent at
tacks on the part of the enemy, the
Belgian Army has held its position or
the line Of the River User.
There have been other actions iI
the region of Ypres between the allied
forces operating in this territory ant
the forces of the enemy.
"On our left wing the Germans cen
tinue to hold strongly their advanct
posts around Lille in the direction o.
Armentieres, Fournes and La Bassee.
"Russia-In East Prussia and on the
Vistula river there is no change in the
situation. The efforts of the Aus
trians to cross the River San have beer
repulsed The battle south of Przemys
is continuing under conditions favor
able to the Russians"

CHAPTER XIII.
PIeasantrIes


Mr.. Brand sat smoking one Of his
made to order perfectos. The head Of
the Hudson Cement company was in a
very coDlplaisant and jovial mood. His
heavy mahogany chair was pushed
back from his heavy mahogany desk
and substantial, well nourished calf
was poised and swinging lightly over
a we'll groomed knee.
Tennessee Coal and Iron had broken
Is points and somehow Mr.. Brand
seemed to be aware Of that fact. If
one examined him closely and saw
thumbs buried in the top lapels Of his
white waistcoat with fat fingers beat
ing time to merry little whistle and
noted that a soft smile played about
his lips in lapses Of the tune, one
might almost imagine that he had
known that Tennessee Coal and Iron
would break ID points.
We leave that to Mr.. Brand; but evi-
IDENTIFY he had not been buying stock
that day, if some wee lambkine had.
Brand made his living out Of the
cement business. Quite comfortable
living it was, too. He had a town
apartment on the Drive that he used
two or three months out Of the year
and $4,000 residence on the north
shore Of the Sound. Mrs. Brand had
box at the opera and now and then
she wore some jewels. Brand had
quite liking for Paris and the Riviera
and in this his wife did not discourage
him. All these things and more he got

out Of the cement business. But, Of
course, II occasionally he felt Ike TAX
ing a little flyer in Wall street bis
bank could spare the interest on the
extra deposits he turned in.
The Tennessee Coal & Iron company
made steel. Brand made cement. Prod
ucts that we're associated more or less
and sometimes IN a big way. Brand
knew how to turn a trick or two IN
business and his word went long
way. The Tennessee Coal & Iron COM
pany's stock was likely to rise or fall.
If things looked a little bad and a
drop was probable-of course they
couldn't telI-but if the market looked
that way, why not let Brand In on It!
He could take his chances. He would
understand that; but II he won ne
might return the favor.
Well, Brand had won. He had won
$3.50, 900, and so we find him at least
not groveling.
His quick response to a knock at the
door brought his secretary.
"A gentleman to see you" said that
menial. "a Mr.. Meade"
THAT reporter?"
HE wouldn't state his business, sir.
Said you'd know him.
Now, ordinarily Brand would not
have been in to reporters. He consid-
cred them a prying sort with entirely
too much knowledge Of other peoples
business and too great a thirst for
more. But we have said that he was
happy. Some irrelevant thought, too
fiickered through his mind; some In
explicable curiosity to see whether
this particular reporter had an over.

that the money for the butchers bill has

Bob to accept His refusal, in the race

Jane into a conspiracy to make BOD

She receives 800 "conspirators money

coat. For it had grown colder since
that night at Staten Island and Brand
thought that If this young man didn't
have a topcoat-well, let Dick answer.
"Show him in," were the secretary'a
orders. He obeyed, and withdrew.
Brand did not rise, but his greeting
was cordial.
"sit down Mr.. Meade and make your
self at home" he invited.
'T can do the one, but not the 9TH
er." the reporter replied. "A little too
grand up here for me. Once more
suppose you're surprised to see me-"
"No, the same answer goes, my
friend, as on the night on the island.
And even If 1 were surprised wOuldn t
be worrying. We business men put
reporters in most any category, but
we never class them with buzzards.
That's one thing you can say for a
newspaper man; he's never lowering
about a dead one."

menting myself. You see, don't al

Dick folded his arms. He looked
suuarely at the millionaire. There was
no answering smile for the others

The pleasantries would do for another
time.

At the Lambs one night number
Of players, forsaking for once talk Of
shop, were discussing the wonders OF
invention and of discovery during the
past century, when De Wolf Hopper
got fresh.
During the lull in the conversation
the tall comedian ventured to observe,
with becoming gravity, that to him
the most wonderful of inventions was
dynamite.
why dynamite?" asked some one,
falling for Hopper's gag.
Because there's nothing in the
world that can hold candle to II"

Germans Building Aerial Fleet To At

Berlin.-The New York Times cor
respondent received certain informa-
tion from an authoritative source re-
garding Germany's aerial plans which
throws new light on the action Of
the London authorities in doing away
with all brilliant illumination and
sweeping the skies at night with many
searchlights. These precautions are
thoroughly justified, though II bit pre-
mature.
While occasional minor raids may be
made on London sooner, if Germany
gets a foothold on the channel, the
grand aerial armada will not be
launched against England until Febru-
airy, at the earliest, for Germany will
not be ready till then.

Because Of Attack.

Because or Attack.
London.-A dispatch to the Times
from Copenhagen says it is generally
stated in Germany that Prince Oscar,
the fifth son of the Emperor, owes
his life to his attack of heart failure.
It appears from the stories current
that party Of Turcos were firing from
trees and shot down all the officers
surrounding the Prince. The sudden
excitement led to the heart attack and
the Prince fell unconscious.
