ABILENE FIVE LOSES TO

The Abilene highs lost to Wamego
at Wamego in basketball Saturday
night, II to 81 in a listless and
uninteresting contest. The game was
played on dance hall that was too
smooth to allow. either team to
play with any consistency. Friday
night Manhattan won from Abilene
Al to 26. This game was we'll played
and hardfought throughout.
Handicapped by the absence OF
Harley Little, forward and good for
dozen to twenty points every game,
George Mullin was sent in to work
at center and did we'll, considering
that his position is at guard. Wal
ters and Steyer were at forwards,
Steyer tossing the free throws; Gish
and Wagner worked at the guards
and Wagner's work was a surprise.
He covered the court well and guard
ed his man nicely.
Manhattan comes here Friday
night and while 1t is hardly to be
expected that Little will recover
from his illness in time to get into
the game, the local five will be IN

pecially in England, where 1t Is used
to keep several thousand German
prisoners from escaping. This prison
camp embraces several thousand Ger
man soldiers, and they have already
had to quell several mutinies in which
q number of prisoners were killed.
This camp is surrounded by If
teen-foot barbed wire fence heavily
charged with electricity. The wires
are crossed and recrossed and twisted
into circles and diamonds, making 1t
practically impossible for anyone to
escape.
The English cover their armored
ammunition cars with wire rope, re-
covering 1t with a netting Of barbed
wire. This precaution is used to keep
people away from the car, while the
wire ropes in a measure will prevent
the shells from flying should the train

the German army was sweeping to-
ward Paris.
In that city were thousands of
Americans and many foreigners
whose interests were represented by
Myron r. Herrick our ambassador.
Our embassy building was neutral
ground-safe from the action of all
nations. All arrangements were
made to put the embassy in safety
in case of a siege. The embassy was
the one spot in Paris respected by
abby the English because their
own ambassador had fled from Paris,
and by the Germans and the Austro-
Hungarians because the American
ambassador was at that very time

tran interests in tho heart of the en-

one afternoon fifty frightened Ger
mans took refuge In the embassy

the Germans to the doors of the

of the American coat Of arms held
them at bay.

entering their cities. with the result
that hundreds of German soldiers are
suffering from wounds made by the
thorns Of the barbed wire fences hid
den beneath the tall grass. The
wounds made by these wire thorns arc
far more painful than those made by
bullets, as they frequently result in
blood poisoning.
In the oden days the Roman SOL
diers felled trees and. sharpening the
points, hid them under the leaves in
such fashion that their enemies were
badly wounded or killed as they rush
ed against the points But the Belgian
knew better way to stop the Ger
mans. for they wound thousands OF
feet OF this flesh-tearing wire through
the forests and barricaded their
streets with the awful thorn-covered
stuff. In many places they built a
maze which nearly drove the Ger

works of art in this line. and it took
the Germans several days to clear the

not allowed to stand within 100 feet
of the poles, as the explosion is ter

Perhaps the most terrifying use Of
barbed wire is the placing of coils
Of It in what Is known as wolf pits"
holes dug in the ground and COW
cred with dry grass. When the SOL
diers charge over these places the
men and horses fall into these holes
and in many instances the horses,
maddened by pain from the pricks,
-truggle TO free themselves, killing
the helpless men beneath them. The
wolf pits" are almost as fatal to
the infantry, for the men fall head
long upon each other on the thorns.
Surely barbed wire In warfare is
the devils own invention" declared
one of the Red Cross nurses who has
recently come from a field hospital.
The men who go up against this
wire" she continued, usually have
their flesh torn, and the wounds are
not easily healed. The rain frequent

settles there. This dirt is. of course,
carried into the wound and an infec-
ton results. The severe pain, too. is

Barbed wire also plays Its part at
