COLLEGE NOTES
The Newberry Indians Saturday
night took the Columbia Y NJ. c. a.
basketball team into camp by a score
of 33 to q. The fast passing and ex-
eellent team work of the home boys
seemed too much for the visitors,
who were lacking in coordination,
4hough no mean foes individually.
The game on the whole was fast
and good, though it was marked by
a. number of fouls on the part of the
Newberry1 contingent,
Standing out from the background
of the Indians fast work was the
splendid goal-shooting of Riser and
Derrick for the winners and their de-
fense of MacLean and Paschal. For
the losers Rhea's all round playing
was the feature.

LAWYERS WRANGLE OVER
DEFINITION OF "HUSSY"

The various works OF Mr.. Webster
and other persons OF note who spe-
cialized In words, state in a general
way that .'hussy" is worthless
woman"
A brigade Of lawyers In Judge
Shepherds court, Tuesday morning.
struggled for hours over the word
"hussy" to determine whether II was
such term as would justify a wo-
man In seeking damages in court
after II had been applied to her.
Lewis Lowenstein, dealer in pro-
visions. Is the defendant in the case.
The plaintiff is Mary Campbell. pro-
prietor Of a restaurant. She seeks
$4,000 damages. The plaintiff testi-
fed that she purchased 40 chickens
from Lowenstein.
my chef wouldn't prepare the
chickens" she testified. "He said
they were no good, SO l sent them
back. The next time saw Lowen-
stein he said was q hussy."
After the extended argument on
the correct Interpretation Of the
word In question, Judge Shepherd
refused to charge the jury. that the
use OF the word In itself substanti-
ated the claim Of the plaintiff. He
said II was up to the jury to decide
whether Mr.. Lowenstein's express
sion had done any damage. At non,
the jury was still trying to decide.

All dispatches from East Prussia
clearly indicate the determination and
bravery with which the new Russian
advance is being made into East Prus-
STA. The main defense OF Goldap was
taken by direct assault.
The Russians took the Germans
completely by surprise by their rapid
advance After eight days OF lighting

Russian dragons and artillery were
then ordered to make flank attack.
This was carried out with the greatest
dash and bravery. A hill regarded
theoretically as impregnable was car
ried by storm.
The Germans were entrenched on
three sides OF this hill. Il was also
protected by ingenious entanglements.
Several OF the cossacks' mounts fell
on concealed spikes imbedded In holes
before they were discovered. Then
all dismounted. Crawling up the hill
on all fours they cut the barbed-wire
entanglements and pressed on. lead

made in this way until the Russians
reached position within 800 yards of
the German trenches. There they
mounted. reformed. charged the
trench es, and drove the Germans be-

LONDON. Nov. l7.-Three pro-
vinces In the eastern theater of war,
laid waste by one invasion, are now
again the scene OF battle.
Villages In Poland. East Prussia
and Galicia are being overrun for the
second. and. In some cases, the third
or fourth time. The Russian adj
vance into East Prussia Is proceeding
along the same route taken soon after
war was declared. A desperate battle
is In progress between Soldau and
Neidenburg This district felt the
force OF the initial Russian advance
and the the retreat. Now II Is over
run again,
Evidently In an attempt TO draw .
part Of the invading force from East
Prussia, the Germans started an Of
fensive movement from Thorn, to-
ward Flock, In Poland. This move
is now declared to have been checked,
and the plan Of the German general
stan to divide the Russian offensive
by this advance has been frustrated.
In Galicia conditions are similar to
those In East Prussia After an ad-
vance sweep OF the Russians. the IN
vaders were driven back by the COM
bined Austrian and German armies.
Przemysl Is invested again, however,
the Russians having pressed west
ward toward Cracow to point be-
yond Tarnow.
An Official statement from Vienna
claims a sweeping victory over the
Servians at Kulnbara In which 5000
prisoners and numerous supplies were
taken.
