NORMAN STAR OF
BATTLE IN WHICH
RIBBONS LOSE OUT
(By w agner.)


Referee Al Burdick getting caught
in jam Of players and going to the
floor for a loss and Beckman tearing
his red pants and retiring from the
floor in confusion were two incidents
that enlivened the game at Colonial
hall last night between the Blue Rib
bon and New York National basket
ball tossers.\ Girlish rooters giggled
and n1odestlyt looked the other way
when Beckman met with his terrible
accident.
But the comedy touches couldn't dis
guise tEN fact that the Nationals took
the Ribbons over the hurdles by IS to
81. IT. was a discouraging defeat for
the locals as they were ahead IL to 8
at the end of the first period. In~the
second session, however, the Nationals
cut loose and smothered the locals un-
der a load Of goals.
Norman, who substituted for Brun-
ner of the visitors, was the shining
Light of the game. He Gagged six goals
and tailed four from the foul line.
SchmeIke Of the Nationals also earned
applause for several difficult shots.
Ruckert at center gave Leonard of the
Ribbons a busy evening.
The Ribbons did better work in the
first half when Smith wasn't playing
than they did with the big boy in the
lineup. Smith did fine individual play
ing but the team work appeared to
suffer. Jimmy Clinton didn't do much
and neither did Leonard. Ht wouldn't
be surprising if Manager Leavy made
some changes in the local team before
long. He wants winner and some of
his players aren't coming through with
the right brand of stuff this season.

What War MOUes Mean
LOUIS BROWNLOW
Just After Taking Oath of Office.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Russia's
western allies expected to hear
this week that the Slav cavalry
had penetrated through Transyl-
vania and western Hungary and
had reached the outskirts Of Buda-
pest. Russia, however. once again
has disappointed the nations that
went into the war with her, and in
stead Of Budapest being threaten
ed, the Slav hold on Bukowina and
even Galicia is now menaced.
England and France counted
largely on the progress of the
Slavs through Bukowina. This
route to Budapest was chosen in
preference to the northern one
from Galicia. because. although
longer. it permitted the extensive
use of cavalry. The Carpathian
mountains are precipitouB along
the Galicia Hungary boundary, but

in Bukowina and permit the pas

to relieve the situation in the Aus
tro-Hungarian crown land. 1t Is
probable that the new Bukow.na
army Is not a fresh force. but Is be-
ing drawn from the troops in Ga
licia. This deduction Is based on the
fact that simultaneously with Petro-
grads announcement Of re-enforce-
ments being sent to Bukowina. Vien-
ma claims the Russians have been
pushed back thirty miles In Galicia.
while the Slavs are reported to have
temporarily abandoned the siege OF

Giving ground in Bukowina and
Galicia. and with their Vistula Of.
fensive against Thorn suspended and
their Budapest offensive halted. the
Russians are becoming seriously en-
tangled in the Austro- German net.
They give recurring evidence Of be-
ing easily exhausted by short. rapid
offensive dashes. and Of underesti-
mating the number Of men neces-
sary for a set task. Disillusionment
must bee keenly felt In London and
Paris over the latest demonstration
OF these characteristic traits. as re-
vcaled In the failure Of the Budapest
offensive, from which 50 much was

STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP.
VERY PRACTICAL SCHEME.

At these times when all sorts OF
schemes are urged for the securing OF
the Dixie Highway. Mr.. W. H
Meagher, of Whitwell, comes forward
with brand new one, viz. that ev-
eryone riding or driving in a vehicle,
wagon, buggy, surry, bicycle. motor
cycle or automobile, on maiden Tip
on the Dixie Highway after it is COM
pletsd and dedicated, pay one dollar
and receive receipt therefor. If this
were done, Mr.. Meagher says, the
Dixie High way could be EASILY COM
pleted, and there would be no hard
ship on anyone.
It is believed that this could be done
by special act of legislature, making
it imperative on everyone to do this,
and that gates could be put up for a
short while to secure payment of this
tax for the road. This scheme appeals
to as very much in some ways. AS all
toll gates would be abandoned in the
county, this scheme would still retain
Che fees charged those travelling thru
the county as at present. and it would
also be direct tax on the citizens
which once paid would be over with
No wealthy bond-holder would have u
chance to clip coupons on this PROPOSE
ton.
We do not advise that any certain
route be specified in this assessment,
but let 1t rather be free matter, sub
ject to the will Of the commission in
Chattanooga, May 90. AT the present
state of the public mind and the pub
lie purse, agitation for particular
route carries dissension If no partic-
ular route is specified. many would be
willing to assist in this movement, but
IL is going to take some work to get il
developed, and time is short. 1t must
be put into definite form. II Mr.
Meagher feels that the time is too
short for legislative action, he might
push it by personal effort. For exam
pie, lists could be prepared in the
different places in the county Of per-
bUub WIZ Will buUbOGiDO W bulb pay
ment, and we are willing to subscribe
to such list. We would much rather
agree to pay certain amount for our
share in building the Dixie Highway
than to pay interest to another man
for rs or 30 years for the use of his
money.
Mr. MeAgher's scheme is good one,
and would raise a very great sum of
money, enough to build the Dixie
High way thru this county by any
route the committee selects. according
to specifications. Whether it 10 done |
by an act of legislature or not, the |
certified subscription plan is good |
one. and If put into effect would be
4 great aid, and taxpayers would save
and their descendants large
sums Of money by subscribing there
10. Even IL the Dixie Highway did
not come thru this county the sum
subscribed should be spent on the pub
lie roads anyway, and we are heartily
N favor of 1t, provided no effort 10
made to keep up the dissension over
route.
