PRAISE FORCES IN MESSAGE.
Kaiser Urges Forces to New Deeds
and Victories"

Berlin, Jan. 1.-Emperor William,
in a new years message 10 the army
and navy, asks them to face the new
year unfinchingly and to look for
ward to new deeds and new victories
for the beloved fatherland. The mes
sage reads:
After five long months of heavy
and hot fighting we enter the new
year.
Brilliant victories have been gain
ed and great successes achieved by
the German army almost everywhere
on the territory of the enemy, while
repeated attempts of our opponents
to swarm on German territory have
fallen.
My ships have covered themselves
with glory on every sea and the
crews have proved not only that shey
know how to fight VIGOROUSLY, but
to die like heroes when overwhelmed
by superior forces.
Behind the army and the navy the
entire nation stands in unexampled
harmony, prepared to sacrifice its
hearts blood for the sacred domestic
hearth which We are defer ding
against outrageous invasion. Much
has come to pass in the old year, but
the enemies are still firmly kept low.
Always fresh hordes are rolling up
against our army and the army OF
our faithful allies, but their numbers
do not frighten us. Although the
times may be serious and :ne task
before us a heavy one we lo;k for
ward into the future with the !irms1s
confidence.
Next to Gods wise guid@lce, |
trust to the matchless bravery Of the
army and navy, and know myself to
be as one with the entire German IA
ton. Therefore let us face the new
year lnfinchingly, looking forward
to new deeds and new victories for
our beloved f$therland.
(Signed) WILHELM.

WILDBOB BURMAN
is MUCH PEEvED
Speed Demon Cannot Understand Why
He Was Not Asked to Compete in
Besta-Oidfeld Race.

Chicago, III, July 24.-'rWud" Bob
Burman, known in all sections Of the
United States as the star match race
pilot of the country, is a bit "riIed"
over the arrangement of a match battle
for the title between OIdfeld and
Resta. Yesterday he sent wires to the
two drivers. who viii meet on the Chi
Cago Speedway Aug. z. which viii in
all probability cause some worry in
the Peugeot and Delage camps and at
the same time result in the coming 100
mile battle being a three-cornered al
fair.
The New York wire. which was sent
to Dario Resta. informed the latter
that Burman had defeated his rivals
in every match race staged in this
country, and wondered why a race
was considered without the holder of
the match title being invited.
The wire to Oldfeld was sent in
care of the owner of the DeIage, David
Joyce, and refreshed Barney's memory
of the defeats which he suffered at the
hands Of the daring Burman on the
Pacific coast last winter. Barney was
defeated twice by Burman during the
last winter, and Bob is anxious to
know why he was not invited TO clash
with the stars on Aug. Z.
In his challenge Burman offers to
give the two drivers a handicap of two
miles in the hundred miles, provided
they allow him to use his 350-cubic
inch motor. It is very probable that
Oldfeld and Resta will agree to his
using the motor without giving the
handicap, but, in case they refuse, Bur
man viii stick 10 the present rules and
use a 300-cubic inch engine.

EVERS SUSPENDED BY
BOXING COMMISSION

Eddie Evers, well known bantam
battIer Of Rock Island, who was sus-
pended for six months by the Wiscon-
sin boxing commission at q hearing
Tuesday. arrived in the city last night
from Milwaukee Under the ruling

solicit a fight in that state during that
time, Friends, however, hope to in
tervene and have the penalty Iessened.

when Evers was scheduled to battle
Johnny Richie before the NcCue Atb
letic club. EYers made a long trip
from Dubuque 10 Racine and was two
pounds overweight at the specified
time. He was ordered TO pay Richie
a forfeit OF SIS, which he refused to
do. because he claimed the McCue
club had failed TO send him transpor-
tation in advance.
