Atmospheric conditions for the game
were the most untavorable the two service
teams ever have experienced in their an
nual meeting in years. 4 thick fog hung
over Manhattan island all forenoon and
matters were made worse when at Il

continue all the afternoon.
The gridiron at the polo grounds, al
though protected by a layer of straw was
expected to be heavy and slippery. espe-
clally over the diamond where the sod was
not laid until after the close of the base

of the army team the uncertain footing
was expected to give the soldiers an ad-
vantage over the sailors.

The Over Seas News agency says: "Ac-
cording to cablegrams from Washington,
as published in England, it has now been
proved that the sinking of the Lusitania
was planned by Germans in the United
States, that Count Won Bernstorff re-
ported the proposal to Berlin and that
the German foreign Office expressly APP
proved the plan. These stories are ridi-

Found Not Guilty of Shoot
ing Two Does-Circum-
stantial Evidence
ELEMENT OF TIME
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Respondent Claimed His Father Shot
Second Doe-Even with Father Elm
mated There Was No Positive Evi-
dence Against Son.

Dewey Newcomb, II, of Guilford, the
boy who was charged by the state with
having killed two deer on Nov. Is. was
found not guilty yesterday afternoon in
the municipal court and was discharged
from custody. The evidence against
him was purely circumstantial
The state tried to show that the boz
first wounded buck, then killed
doe and short time later shot and
killed a smaller doe. 1t tried to show
that the boys claim that his father
killed the second doe was impossible.
as the father would not have had time
to get from the sawmill where he was
working on the Putney road to Gull
ford IN time to have located and shot
the doe before being seen by Attorney
John E. Gale wheeling the carcass
home. A great deal of the state s
ease rested upon the evidence relating
to time There was no evidence to
show that the boy shot the second deer,
the state being obliged for lack of
positive evidence to attempt to show
that the father could not have done it.
Warden Alexander, the last witness
for the state, was subjected to a severe
cross examination by Attorney A. f.
Schwenk who appeared for the respon-
dent. The warden admitted that with
the two deputies he went to the boy g
home after 10 0 CLOCK the night before
Thanksgiving and took him to the
village lookup, where they questioned
him until 1.30 clock Thanksgiving
morning with the exception of a short
| time when the warden and deputies
4 I nd
mitted that he did not tell the boy that
anything he might say would be used
/ against him and he did not tell him
that he was entitled to counsel before
| being obliged to say anything.
Hollis Newcomb, the boys father,
was the first witness for the defense.
He told of being sent for by his son
! to come home because he had killed
one deer and wounded another and of
| his making the trip. He said he got a
/ ride in an automobile a part of the
way and rode from Brattleboro as far
/ as % 'Algiers' with Fred COombs. He
got home about u clock, ate a
/ doughnut and drank a cup of coffee,
and went out with his son to try ana
get the wounded buck. The boy show
ed him some blood and he followed 1t,
while the boy circled in another di-
rection. He had been hunting less than
/ 10 minutes when he saw small doe
under hemlock and shot and killed
| her. The boy went for a wheelbarrow
and they wheeled the animal home,
meeting Attorney Gale on the way.
The boy s sister told of going to Mr..
! Gale s residence TO report the killing
of the doe shot by the boy and of tel
| ephoning for their father to come
home The boy told his story, which
involved the facts that he put five bull
lets in the large doe before he killed
her and this was after he had fred
two shots at the buck, breaking two
| legs, as it afterwards developed. He
claimed that he had started on the
hunt with only eight shells and came
| home with one not used

Hints That French Right Wing May

Krivolak Region.

LONDON, Nov. -. - The Serbian
main army having been driven back
to the borders of Albania and Monte
negro, where they are being attacked
by the Austro-Germans, the Bulgarians,
with the assistance of General Won Gall
witt 5 forces, are now giving their at

portant military developments may
therefore be looked for on the Vardar

The Bulgars appear to have abandon
ed definitely, for the time being, their
advance on Monastir in order to attack
the French positions on the Cerna.
where fighting already has been re-
ported. So far the French have held
all their positions, but dispatches from
Saloniki hint that it may be necessary
to withdraw the right wing from
Krivolak to the southeast, where Brit
lsh-French reinforcements are being
concentrated.
Meanwhile the fighting which was re-
ported to be taking place in the vicini-
.ty of Brusnik, near Krivolak. has re-
suited In the capture Of that town by
the French, according to despatch
from Salonih to the Paris Havas
agency, filed on Thursday
The French attack was made at a
point east of Krivolak on the route
to Radovista. Brusnik was captured
in the afternoon, the despatch says. The
Bulearians made counter attack dur
ing the following night, but without sue
cess An important result of the occu-
patton Of this town is that it protects
krivolak from further artillery fire.

STEAMER WAS CHASED
BY UNKNOWN CRUISER
Zealandia's Captain Reports Exciting
Experience on His Arrival in
New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 27-The American
steamer Zealandia. which recently was
boarded and searched by an officer and
men from the British cruiser Iris at Pro
greso, Mexico, arrived here today and re-
ported having been pursued last night by
an unknown cruiser off the New Jersey
coast.
The captain said that at 11.30 last night
a cruiser bore down on him and signaled
with the Morse code. The night was un-
usually hazy and the Zealandia ran inside
the three-nile limit and thus escaped the
cruiser
The captain said the cruiser was in sight
for half an hour and then disappeared in
the fog.

TO TRY FOR TRUCE
OVER CHRISTMAS
Pope Benedict viii Make Effort for
Suspension of HostiIties Among
Warning Powers.

ROME, Nov. 27.-Although the efforts
of Pope Benedict last year to obtain a
truce among the warning powers over the
Christmas holidays did not succeed, it is
reported that he will make a similar at
tempt this year. He is said to have
brought up this question during his confer
ence with the archbishop of Cologne.
The Pope is represented as having ex-
pressed the opinion that it is his duty to
make the effort to obtain the truce, al
though the prospect that his proposal will
be accepted is no more favorable than last
year

Allies Have Landed I25,0OO Men at SaIoniki and
10000 More Are on Their Way-Germans Re-
port Over 100000 Serbians Made Prisoners
Italians Hammerng Gorilla

W hlle the Serbans continue to be driven
nearer the border Of their country and at
points have retreated over it the entente
allies apparently are placing a formidable
army in the Balkans.
Allied troops in large numbers continue
TO be landed at Saloniki, says a news des

landing of allied forces at other Greek
points has been obtained from the Greek
government, according to unofficial advices
from Athens
Some 125,00O men are said already to
have debarled at Saloniki and 10000 or
$4,000 more are on the way.
A semi-ofiicial announcement in Berlin
gives the number of Serbians taken prison

troops as 1O1 900, while 1000 Austro
Hungarians who had been captured by the
Serbians were set free.

LONDON, Nov 27.-The Serbian forces
soon will become an army without a coun-

Bulgarians, four divisions of whom are said
to be hammering at the French lines.

Monastir has been surrounded by the Bull

The main Serbian army retreating in

that the invaders of Serbia would not hest

German leaders expect the Serbians and
their allies will wait for attacks in Greece.
II is said these operations viii be under
the supreme command of Field Marshal
Won Mac5ensen. Additional reports from
the battle of Ctesiphon in Mesopotamia
near Bagdad indicate that the British
forces Won a substantial success instead of

everyone to believe.

Where East Seems West.

Those who have crossed the line into
the southern regions of our globe are
aware that in Chile the sun seems to
rise in the west and set in the east.
In spite of knowing the contrary to be
the fact, it is well nigh impossible to
shake off the strange illusion. And
this because our senses conspire to tell
US the reverse. AS in north temperate
ATTITUDES the sun never attainS the
zenith in it's Phoebus driven course,
we instinctively face the sunward half
of the sky when we look south and be-
low the equator, and we are abetted
in our deception by the cold winds
which blow. as at home, from the OPP
pOsite quarter. To all our senses north
is south and south north. The sun, riS-
ing on our right to set upon our left
seems therefore to travel daily back.
