tinued. England is in sympathy.
What form their realization will take
will no doubt be settled In the terms
of peace"
The announcement of Sir Edward
Grey marks one of the most i'm
portant developments in the Euro
pea. npolitical situation since the be-
ginning of the war. Russia's desire
for a warm water port and an un-
restricted outlet from the Black Sea
has long been one of her most
cherished national aspirations. Speak
ing in the Duma on February 2,
Premier Goremykin said:
Turkey has marched with our
enemy, but her resistance already has
been shattered by our glorious Cau-
casian troops, and the radiant future
of the Russians on the Black Sea is
beginning to dawn near the walls OF
Constantinople."
The attitude of Great Britain in the
event that the fortunes of war should
favor Russia in the struggle with
Turkey has been an open question.

Germany's claim to an overwhelm-

their victory by striking decisive
blow in northern Poland are leading

m.-The town of Przasnysz. Russian
Poland, was yesterday taken by
storm by German forces, according
to the official announcement given
out in Berlin today The Germans
captured 10000 Russian prisoners.
The report is dated February % and
reads as follows:
''In the western arena of the war:
In Champagne the enemy yesterday
continued his desperate efforts,
W hich, In spite of the strong forces
engaged, were again absolutely
without success. Otherwise there has
been nothing OF Importance on the
western front.
"In the eastern arena: The engage
ments on the Memel. Bobr and Narew
nysz. in Russian Poland, which had
been extensively fortified, was
storned yesterday by the East Prus-
sian reserves. After a stubborn fight
we were victorious, capturing more
than 10000 prisoners, over twenty
cannon, a large number of machine
guns and very large amount Of war
material.
"In other enga gements fought north
of the River Vistula during the past
few DAYS we have taken 5000 Rus

the Vistula, the Russians advanced
to Mogily, which Is southeast of Boil

Their forces in this movement out
numbered ours five to one. Otherwise
there is nothing of Importance to re-

"It is Characteristic that the COM

Augustowo, asked German officers
whether 1t was true that Antwerp
was being besieged by the Germans
and soon would fall. When the situa-

Baseball is the greatest sport in
the country. It is the national game,
and everybody is for 1t. Nearly every
city of any importance in the United
States has a team and belongs to a
league. Newark has been so favored,
off and on, for years and years. Then
we were satisfied with our lot with a
minor league club, but when old op-
portunity raped at our door and told
us we could have major league club
it just about capped the climax. We
are glad now that the Federal League
came into existence, for 1t will put us
up among the first class of great
american cities. The Feds are big
league in every way, and the fact
they have located here is the biggest
boom that has ever happened to our
city. Harrison, because of her de-
sirable location, shares in our for
tune, and she is welcome to it.

The Feds In Newark will mean
many things. It will mean that we
will be advertised day after day in
all the big cities of the country and
in some of the big cities of the world.
It will mean that Chicago will come
70 know US better, and st. Louis and
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh will be our
friends, as well as rivals. The COM
ing of the Feds will also awaken new
interest It will stir up the town and
make some of the old citizens feel
that they have not built up In vain
and make some Of the young citizens
realize that they have much in New
ark to live for and much to be proud
of. It will behoove the citizens, of
course. to support the team and let
there be no Grabbing about the
home OF the club being in Harrison.
That very fact made the whole af-
fair a certainty, and why show any
jealousy to our little sister when she
