HUSTON WINS FIRST
TILT AT BILLIARDS
Regains Stroke and De
feats Milburn Easily in
Class A Championship.

Philadelphia, March S. Corwin
Huston. of Detroit, won his first game
of the Class A amateur billiard tourna-
ment for the national championship
here this afternoon, defeating f. l..
Milburn. Memphis, 400 TO 206, Huston
made high run of II and averaged
: 1881. Milburn's highest run was
30 and his average $50.
Huston's victory gives him tie with
Milburn for sixth place in the tourna-
ment, each having lost four games and
won one. Milburn's only remaining
match is with Lord. the young Chicago
player, while Huston has to play Gard
ner. the present title holder.
The Detroit player displayed much
better form in this afternoons match
than he has heretofore shown, while
the Southern champion was much be-
low his previous performances.
Mlburn held the lead with two runs
of ii and % in the first twelve innings.
when Huston. with n brilliant display
of masse, cushion and straight carrom
shots, made his run of II in the thir-
teenth inning. He retained the lead
then obtained until the end of the
game, gathering runs of az, SO and 80,
all better than his previous high run
record.
Milburn, on the other hand. showed
q decided slump. In many attempts
his direction was good, but his judy
ment of speed exceedingly poor. In
the thirtieth inning he lost point be-
cause he missed both balls.

"A Philadelphia Novel

The Dusty Road" 81. B. LIppincott
Company by Therese Tyler, Is a novel
of Philadelphia, touching intimately upon
house square. And, while there appears
in the book little TO distinguish this from
society in other cities, the story, never
theless, Is intensely human, dealing with
the problems of young girl who is be-
set with n poverty-stricken family which
endeavors to keep up appearances" The
mother. of course, expects her beautiful
daughter to sell herself to riches; but
again, OF course, a youthful love affair
contravenes. The dusty road" for the
young woman begins when she hears OF
this lovers reported infidelity.
It is possible that severe critics will
find it difficult to analyze the character
of Elizabeth Anderson and to justify the
recurring changes of heart that mark her
pathway. True this may be girl nature,
but the professions Of religion that creep
in at times are somewhat at odds with
the course the girl pursues, The charac-
ter of Sylvia Lewis, cousin of the heroine.
probably is the best portrayed and the
most consistent. She is inherently bad,
and her hirtatlons and subsequent mar
riage we'll bear out the early delineation
of her traits. One good character, the
French clergyman, adds force to the
story. a --. - IN .g-a
Technically, there are some flaws of
more or less Importance and numerous
situations that the author finds 1t diff
cult to work out. There are climaxes
that probably would not stand the test of
cold analysis, and in general construc-
tion 1t is evident that the hand of the
amateur faltered somewhat.
The moral of the book. however, and its
purposes are distinctly good.

Tales of Law and Lawyers

S. l.. Nyburg has stated the lawyers
case cleverly. and at times with consider
able literary merit, in his six short stories
of the harrister's office grouped under the
title, 1.-THE Final Verdict" (J. B. Lippin-
colt, Philadelphia.) He has uncovered
the mental and spiritual processes which
must go on within the average attorney
and his misunderstood clients
There are few readers, 1t may confidently
be forecasted. who will not think more
kindly of the members of the bar and of
the other characters dealt with after
reading THE Final Verdict"
THE Fruits of Victory" the first story.
Is gripping in a much more significant
sense than Is meant when the term is ap-
piled to the best sellers. Mr. Nyburg
placed on the title page this quotation
from GalsWOrthy, "If / had one prayer
to make II would be, Good God, give
mo to understand In THE Fruits of
slanderous divorce case for his fair
client, whom he quite naturally falls In
love with, learns that the allegations OF
the hard, uninspirlng husband are true.
1t is then that the woman who has been
cleared" of charges that were true gives
her attorney-lover ito understand the
moral and psychological justification for
her apparently immoral and unethical
conduct. Mr.. Nyburg handles the subject
matter very skilfully and with fairly we'll
sustained merit. This is the best story of
the six.
Mr.. Nyburg's pre-eminent qualification
is his splendid monologue. Each of the
six stories is chiefly a confession of a
man or woman and most of the time is
given over to the individuals account of
his or her problem. Even when the au-
thor permits himself to become somewhat
shallow and conventional, he Invariably
gives a feeling of verisimilltude TO the
character who is speaking The delnea-
tion is as fine as has been found in pres
ent day popular literature for some
time. Mr.. Nyburg chooses his words with
a fine feeling for their subtle values,
with the consequent result that Interest
is maintained at a high pitch through
pages of monologue.
On the whole, the book is decidedly
worth while. It Is almost certain to add
tolerance to conventional virtues and give
a more kindly insight into the lives of
less fortunate beings who have had to
face problems which more virtuous souls
had never even dreamed Of,

ENGLAND REJOTCES
AS FLYERS PREPARE
FOR FURTHER RAIDS
Successful Descent Upon
Belgian Coast Believed TO
Herald General Attacks
Upon German Bases.
LONDON. Feb. IA.

LONDON, Feb. ~.
Although the Admiralty ls withholding
further details Of the great British aerial
raid on the German air and naval bases
in Belgium, jubilation was expressed to-
day because OF the feeling that It's success
will greatly interfere with the proposed
German submarine blockade scheduled
Thursday.
London papers are filled with praise for
the daring aviators, and say that the
success attending the raid will bring dis
may to the hearts OF the Germans
"The Germans may boast. but they are
not to have their own way in the opera
tions intended for next week." says tho
Chronicle.
It ia considered certain that some, at
least. OF the submarine bases inside OF the
harhor and at tho canal mouth at Zee
brugge and in the vicinity Of ostend have
been destroyed.
Yesterdays raid was admittedly the first
NJ n number now planned. Where the
next "strike' will be made only the Ad-
miralty knows, but there Is little doubt
that II the flyers have their way the next
attempt will be against the German bases
near Cuxhaven.
The official report of the raid was as
follows:
During the last "a hours combined
aeroplane and seaplane operations nave
been carried out by the naval wing In
the Bruges, Zeebrugge, Blankenberghe
and Ostend districts, with view to pre-
venting the development OF submarine
bases and establishments Thirty-four
naval aeroplanes and seaplanes took part
Great damage is reported to have been
done to the Ostend railway station, which,
according to present information, has
probably been burned to the ground. The
railway station at Blenkenberghe was
damaged, and the railway lines were torn
up in many places. Bombs were dropped
on gun positions at Middlekerke and also
on the power station and the German
mine-sweepng vessels at Zeebrugge, but
the damage done is unknown.
During the attack the machines en-
countered heavy banks of snow. No sub
marines were seen.
Flight Commander Grahame-Whlt
fell into the sea off Neuport and was
rescued by French vessel. Although ex-
posed to a heavy gunfire from rifles, anti
aircraft guns, machine guns, etc, all of
the pilots are safe. Two machines were
damaged
THE seaplanes and aeroplanes were
under the command Of Wing Commander
Samson, assisted by Wing Commander
Longmore and Squadron Commanders
Porte, Courtney and Rathorne."

GERMANY "soUNDs" NEUTRALs
ON BLOCKADE PROTEST

BERLIN, Feb. 49,
The Government has not allowed the
American note on the proposed blockade
TO be published.
The few officials who have knowledge
OF the text of the note frankly declare
that they do not believe that its tone "is
warranted by the circumstances" Of
ficials generally insist that, inasmuch as
England is plainly trying Its best TO
starve out Germany, including its civilian
and noncombatant population" any act
OF retaliation will be justified.
II is declared that recent assurances
given TO all neutrals that Germany will
protect all neutral shipping to the ut
most OF it's power Is in itself an answer
to the demands of the United States.
Although the suggestion has been made
that Germany in it's reply to the United
States will suggest that the way out of
the difficulty Is for the United States to
use It's influence to have England agree
to permit importatlons of foodstuffs to
Germany under guarantee that they Will
20 only to civilians, there Is no official
confirmation that such action will be
taken.
AS a matter of fact, Germany Is at
present endeavoring to determine to
what extent other neutral Powers indorse
the views OF the United States. 1t is
believed the same position will be taken
by other neutrals. and before reply is
framed II will be necessary to find out
just how far this will go.
II Is considered certain several days
will elapse before an official answer Is
sent to Washington.

Fighting Alsace-
Lorraine Over Again

A summary of the stormy history OF
the lost provinces" now again figuring
in wars bloodshed, is to bo found In
"Alsace and Lorraine" (Putnaui's), by
Ruth Putnam, illustrated with eight
maps. From the frst clash of Caesars
legions with the Germans under Arlovis-
tus near the foothills OF the Vosges in
Alsace until 1911 the vlcissltudes OF the
provinces are chronlcled The creation of

SAGE to Germany; the ownership OF Lor-
raino is not definitely stated. After the
rise of the free city and the complicated
polltlco-religlous strife of the 18th cen
tury, the House of Hapsburg mortgages
Upper Alsace to Charles of Burgundy,
who also becomes protector" of Lor-
raine The soil is a battlefield OF the
Thirty Years War Q6lS-4s), terminating
In the vague Treaty of Muenster (West-
phalia), (which certainly did not bestow
Alsace upon the French King" but gives
him foothold for further operations.
Louis XIV. through diplomacy and con-
quest "annexes'' the territory. France is
finally confirmed in the absolute possess
sion of both Alsace and Lorraine by the
Treaty of Vienna in 1916. The French
racial and linguistic characteristics OF
the early population are shown, as we'll
as the fact that in 1903 the territory ceded
to Germany at the close of the Franco
Prussian War contained 100000 French
speaking persons out of a population of
1,s74,ol4. That the thought of Middle

Lorraine is shown by the cry:
