WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. 2g.-Special: The
British Indian corps has been with
drawn from the front in France for
another field of operations.
King George, in a message deliver
ed to the departing soldiers by the
prince OF Wales, highly praised them
for their courage and endurance and
deeds nobly done in the days of the
memorable conflicts"
Again there has been considerable
fighting between the British and
Arabs in western Egypt. near the
Tripoli border, but the result il
somewhat beclouded, owing to the di-
vergent reports Of London and Con
staintinople, London claiming success
for the British and Constantinople
for the Arabs.
The British have put down an at
tack of the Turks against Kut-el-
Amara in Mesopotamia, where the
Turks had succeeded in preaching
the fortified positions and entering
the bastion of one of the forts. The
Turks losses i'm the several engage
ments are estimated at 700. The
British killed and wounded number
100.
Little fighting of consequence is
going on elsewhere, except by means
OF artillery and sapping operations
Both Paris and London report the
infliction OF damage to German
trenches at several points on the
western line.
On the Austro-Italian front tine
Italian bombardment of the Tyrolean
sector has grown in intensity, and on
the Isonzo front the big guns of both
sides are exchanging shells.
On the Russian front and in Ga
licia there is no change in the situa-
ton. while in the Balkans the fight
ing seemingly has ended, except for
isolated battles in Montenegro.
Greece. according to Berlin adj
vices. has requested Bulgaria to with
draw from Albanian territory, and
the reply OF Bulgaria is expected TO
be satisfactory.

Company /. Sixth infantry, United
States army. at San Francisco in
1913.
Groton-Groton is several thou
sand miles from any place where an
oyster grows. but this was no deter
rent TO the inventive genius of young
Clarence Ottum, Of Groton, who has
been granted a patent on an oyster
opener which is said TO be vastly SUI
perior TO the old way OF opening oy-
sters with a knife. The invention is
a simple one. but enables workers to
open oyster shells with great rapid
ity. Mr.. Ottum has received many
flattering offers from firms, both in
the United States and Canada. but
none which he deems acceptable.
lie expects TO make a fortune out of
the device, as experienced oyster
handlers who have seen a demonstra-
ton pronounce it superior to any
thing now on the market.

Travelling Man Views His Old Home
stead After 30 Years Absence.

yolga, Dec. 29.-When Frank b..
Brown, a travelling mar Of Minneap
oils. yesterday made a visit to this
section after an absence of more than
thirty years, he discovered how he
had missed a fortune by not retain
ing a South Dakota homestead which
he made entry Of in 1878, and upon
which himself and brother re ided for
a period Of four years. or until 1882,
when they sold the farm for $4,000.
Only recently the same farm was sold
for $4,000. However, Mr.. Brown
has prOspered during the intervening
period and stated that he did not
worry because other men made a for
tune from the farm. lie expressed
pleasure that his successors on the
farm had made good money. While
recalling the pioneer days during hi
visit here, Mr.. Brown stated that he
and his brother-in-law, Frank Pond,
a well known early pioneer, hauled
the first two loads or grain! to Nolga
that ever were marketed here. At
hat time there was a town at Oak
wood, where most of the trading of
the locality was done.

S. D. CENTRAL
MOVEMENT STARTED FOR 4 NEW
BOND ISSUE.

Sioux Falls. Dec. pa movement
Is on foot among stockholders of the
South Dakota Central railway TO Sc
cure a new bond issue to take up the
outstanding bond issue and aceumu-
lated charge amounting TO approx
mately $500. 600. The road. under
the supervision of Ii. s. Stebblns as
general manager for the receivers APP
pointed by Judge James ID. Elliott OF
the United States district court, has
steadily been increasing its business
and getting upon a better basis,
and many of the stockholders feel
that there is a substantial equity be
longing to them over and above the
amount of outstanding charges.
Several months ago the trust deed
securing payment of bonds was fore
closed in federal court. The date of
sale has not yet been fixed, however,
and there are prospects now that the
property may not go TO the bond
holders, but will again revert TO the
people who originally put the money
into the project and, as matters look
in railroad circles this year and espe-
cially on the little South Dakota line.
with a fair chance of ultimately get
ting good returns.

Certainly no business man would

"Pep" Young Makes Good
With Jennings Tigers

pep" Young, the former Harris
burg intielder, who played in the Pa
cinc Coast League last season, con-
tinues to go along like prairie fire
for Hughie Jennings Tigers and the
chances are now that he will land the
regular second base assignment, at
least until Eddie Burns returns to first
base and Kavanaugh is sent to fight it
out with Pep" at the keystone.
Young is a ten-cylinder whirlwind
around second base and the sharps of
the Detroit papers who are following
the team say that Pep" reminds them
very strongly of Mike Doolan, the
painless dentist shortstop formerly
with the Phillies.
In a recent exhibition game that the
Tigers won Pep" accepted ten chances
without an error. one writer said of
the performance: He seems to be a
marvel of accuracy on ground balls,
and the worse the hops are the surer
he seems to be of getting them"

Chicago. April 1O-Predicting a pros
porous season, "the best so far" Pres
ident James 4. Gilmore left last night
for Kansas City, where to-day he will
watch the opening game of the Fed
eral League campaign. Reports re-
ceived at the league headquarters here
to-day were that fair weather and big
crowds were expected at the openings
at Chicago, where ST. Louis plays; at
Kansas City, with Pittsburgh at Balti-
more, where the team that won the
pennant for Indianapolis will repre-
sent Newark, and at Brooklyn where
Buffalo opens.
Most of the Federal League teams,
their managers assert, have improved
greatly over last year. St Louis es-
pecially, President Gilmore says, has
increased in strength, Manager Field
er Jones having gathered squad of
veterans, including Charley Deal, who
was a factor in the Boston Nationals
winning the worlds championship. a
strong infield Is the chief reliance OF
the Pittsburgh team. but reports from
Kansas City are not optimistic.
The Newark clubs loss of Benny
Kauff. the leagues champion batter
was recorded at headquarters as
Broollyn's gain, and the addition OF
Jack Dalton, one of the National s
strong hitters last year, should helr
the offensive strength of Buffalo. it is
said. In all departments Manager
Tinker claims to have helped the Chi
caGo squad. In Jimmy Smith he says
he has a shortstop whose excellence
may result in the manager adopting a
utility role.

Cigaret Ban Brings
Break With Players
Stcciai to The Telegraph

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 10.-As a re-
suit of the ban which Manager Magee
has placed on the smoking of cigarets
by his players, the members of the
Brooklyn Federal League team are on
the verge of a strike, according to the
intmation of Artie Hoffman, who left
the club in this city.
Hoffman and NIagee came to an
open break over the question when the
former refused to abide by the law as
set down by the youthful manager and
the veteran declares he will not rejoin
the club until he is requested to by a
personal wire from John l.. Ward
president of the club.
The remainder of the team went to
Brooklyn, where the season opens to-
day with Buffalo, but there is very
likely to be more of a revolt gracine
the scene of action than a bali game
Hoffman thinks, unless Magee relaXes
his iron rule methods. The Brookfeds
are all youngsters, unused to rigid
discipline, and the ways of their
equally youthful manager are very
irritating to them. he says

No Steel Cabooses
For Pennsylvania Crews

That the Pennsy's plan to construct
steel cabin cars to replace the wooden
caboose now in service has been tenn
porarily abandoned, or at least until
industrial conditions improve, is the
belief of Pennsylvania Railroad off,
cials at Altoona.
A prominent official stated yesterday
that the N-5 all-steel type cabin car,
which was built early last year in the
Altoona car shops for experimental
purposes, is now stored in the shop
yards at Fourth street. Various tests
were made on the Pennsy's lines with
the new cabin and as far as known
they proved successful.
Railroads eagerly looked forward to
the construction of the proposed new
type cabooses last fall. All modern
Nconveniences are contained in the steel
cabins and they are much easier to
ride in than the present design since
the. N-5 car is mounted on two four
wheel trucks
