CARLISLE INDIANS HAVE PLAYED LAST GAME ON GRIDIRON

full years However, the Georgia au- thorities may make an altogether dlf- ferent plea, but it is almost assured that the above course will be decided upon.
 Provided that the s. l. A. A. turns down the appeal of Georgia, the Red and Black will not re-enter the organization, but enter the newly formed South At lantic Athletic association. The Geor- gia authorities have expressed their opln- ion in the matter that they deem it best to be under some powerful governing body.
 The athletics pass off much better and the effect on the teams is remarkable, according to several of the athletic d. rectors. It is prominently believed in Atlanta and Athens that provided Geor- gia leads the Way, Tech will also re-enter the S. I. A. A. or some other organiza- tion. The authorities at Tech are of the same belief as at the university.
 It is commonly predicted that both Tech and the University of Georgia have played their last year not under the juris- aicton of some athletic association. It IS hoped that the Georglans will see their way clear to re-enter the s. I. A. A.

|. S.U. AND TULANE ABOUT ID SEVER ATHLETIC RELATIONS Compromise Will Be Made Owing to the Eff
 forts of Director
 Stroud

Tulane and Louisiana State university i~ about severed their athletic relations. 'l. ilrecl cause of the disagreement lies in the fact that high spirit that is in evidence in the annual Thanksgiving game which caused considerably em- ba rra ssment to the faculties of both in stitutions in the past game and the in ability to decide where the game would be played from year to year.
 The situation appeared dangerous at first but a conference in New Orleans a few days ago the split" was almost ad- justed. It is now considered fact that the two colleges, will not sever their relations but will continue to meet al- though no direct settlement has been made as yet.
 The direct of the compromise is due to the efforts of Physical Director c. c. stroud of the university, who visited the Tulane authorities and practically set tied all differences. It is believed that two colleges will agree to terms and the state conflict resumed.

Recall of Dumba.

The exchanges with Austria were especially important as the United States government had on Sept 9 re. quested the recall of the Austro- Hun. garan ambassador, Dr. konstantin Dumba. This diplomat had been con, nected with plots to foment trouble in factories in this country that were sup, plying munitions of war to the enemies of the central powers. The request was immediately granted. and the diplomat sailed on Oct !. about a mouth prior to the sinking of the Ancona.
 Aside from the submarine warfare, five other features of the war stand out, destined to worry young Ameri, cans, future students of history. These are the Austro- German drive against Russia, the operations at the Darda- nellcs. the aerial warfare on London, the asied offensive at Loos and the Austro-German drive through Servia, in which Bulgaria -Jaycd . biz nart

To be sure, some vii say that this or that should be included in this resume, ana every one is entitled to'his or her opinion. Many will claim that in this list of five great features of the war the entrance of Italy in the struggle should be included. This occurred on May 24 but the operations on the Aus ro-ltalian front were of comparatively little significance. Others will say tha, the British order in council which for bade neutral trade with Germany should be listed. These orders were is. sued on March 15.

 The Eastland Disaster.
 Newspapers are our present day his tories, and throughout the year they were crowded with sensational stories about sundry things. The biggest of these was the sinking of the excursion steamer Eastland in the Chicago river, with the loss of 0S1 lives The boat was overcrowded. having 2.4SS per sons aboard. This occurred on July 24

 Charles Becker. former lieutenant of the New York police force, having been convicted of instigating the murder of the gambler Herman Rosenthal. was electrocuted at Sing Sing prison on the morning of July 30, thus ending one of the most famous and sensational cases in the criminal history of the country.
 The most revolting crime during the year was not the work of one man. On the night of Aug. 15 a mob of citi- zens, presumably from Marietta. Ga. broke into the prison at Milledgeville and took therefrom Leo Frank. Frank, Jew, had been convicted of the mur- der of Mary Phagan, Marietta girl employed in his pencil factory ill At lanta. He was rushed through the country in an automobile to the home VII HIS ulleSeu NlCllul, ana when me sun rose on the morning of the 16th 1t shone on his body dangling from the limb of tree. He was lynched after a fellow prisoner had made a dastardly attack on him with a knife Civilization was shocked.
 Another sensational crime was the attempt to assaSsinate J. pierpont Morgan, the tinancier. On July 3 Frank Holt. German college pro- lessor. shot the banker at his Glen Cove (N. J.) home, but the wound was inconsequential. Holt later committed suicide by jumping from the top of his jail cell to the stone floor. He had be- come demcnted because Mir.

Air Craft Are Successful.

Germany demonstrated during the war the fact that airships could trave q great distance and wage war on au enemy. Every one is familiar with the frequent raids made on London Paris and other cities.
 The allied offensive at Loos started on Sept 9 and resulted in partial sue cess for England and France, but at a terrific loss of life, The German front was broken for five miles at La BaSset and Souchez and for twenty-five miles in Champagne. Many guns were cap tured. This fighting was probably the most severe of the war and was brought forcibly home to Americans by the fact that great many members of the foreign legion. born in the Unit. ed States, were killed
 As the year closes Germany and Austria, aided by their ally Bulgaria. are bringing to an end their successful invasion of Servia, which began dur ing the first week of October Nish. the capital of Servia. fell on Nov 6 and on Nov. 2S Prisrend was captured by the Teutons, with 2S000 Servian troops.

Sinking of Lusitania.

One is forced to select the world war as the most important. and no one vii enter an argument. But the feature of the war that was the most terrible-all of it is horrible-was the destruction of the Cunard line steamship Lusi, tania, which was sunk by torpedo fired by German submarine in the English channel on May ', with the re. sultant loss of about 1 100 lives, includ. ing 100 citizens of the United States The vessel was torpedoed off Kinsale, on the coast of Ireland. The German government has never made known the name of the commander of the under. seat boat. but has made known the fact that he was acting under the specific orders of Admiral von Tirpitz, head of the German admiralty.
 This led up to the diplomatic ex. changes between the two nations, which for Il time were near the break ing point The United States demand ed diSavowal of the act of the sub marine commander. but Germany fail ed to comply with the request. How ever, after the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic on Aug. 19 when the diplomatic exchanges were taking place, the German government gave tu the government of the United States the assurance that no more vessels car rylng passengers would be sunk by German submarines unless sufficient warning was given and the safety of the noncombatants provided for.

Not in the re- corded deeds of man has there been . twelvemonth period in which so many lives have been sacrificed on the altar of the war god Looking back. one is tempted to consider those events which are destined to occupy most of the space in the history books that our children will study in the years which hold for them-who knows what?
 Of course there will be large mar gin for discussion and dispute. Who can point to this or that occurrence as the most important, the most dramatic, that took place in l9152

those between President Wilson and the German government On May 1a the first protest was filed by Secretary of State Bryan. This was six days after the sinking of the Lusitania The German reply, failing to meet the de mands of this government and iu many details extremely unsatisfactory was followed by another note on June 10. On July 24 the third and last Lusi tania note was dispatched. in which President Wilson stated that any further encroachments on the part of Germany would be considered "delib erately unfriendly." Then. finally, on Oct. D. Germany disavowed the sink ing of the liner Arabic and gave the assurances already referred to.
 Shortly after that, however. or on Nov. 7 the Italian liner Ancona was torpedoed in the Mediterranean sea by a submarine carrying the flag of Ger many's ally. Austria. Nine Americans lost their lives when this steamer Austria demanding disavowal, repri mand of the submarine commander and reparation for the loss of Ameri can lives, The reply of Austria was pub liShed in this country on Dec. 19. She stated that the evidence was incom. plete and gave indications of wishing 10 compromise. But President Wilson sent on Dec. 20 what has been termed the ''stiffest' note since the war start ed, In which he positively refused to compromise and demanded that the requests of this nation be needed at once

The Austro-German drive against Russia started about the lst of May. The Russians had up to this time been on the offensive and had occupied on March 22 the Austrian fortress Prze- mysl. This allied victory was achieved only after long siege. Then the leu. ton powers assumed the offensive which swept through Galicia and far into Russia. On June 8 Przemysl fell and was followed by Lemberg on June 23. the capture of Warsaw on Aug. s the capture of Novogeorgievsk on Aug l9 and the capture of Brest Litovsk ou Aug. %. when Germany and Austria withdrew many of their troops from this front, having entirely achieve their purpose.

The Dardanelles Fighting.

Histories today are occupied with events that happened in the Spanish. American war. and what is more in. teresting than the naval exploits o1 1898? Every one remembers the race against time that the battleship Ore gon ran around Cape Horn to reach Santiago. Every one remembers Dew ey's thrilling battle at Manila. Like wise our children will be greatly in terested In the Dardanelles campaign.
 Here England made her big mistake On Feb. 24 the allied fleet bombarded the forts defending the strait The mistake, all military critics agree, lay in the fact that England did not send n supporting army with the fleet at the time of the first attack Finally, wher she did send an army, the Turks were firmly intrenched, and this ended 1T the withdrawal of part of the army on the Gallipoli peninsula on Dec. 20. The failure was expensive and tended tG show that the greatest fleet that Eng. land and France could send was pow. erless to force the strait. the best nat. ural fertilization in the world. The estimated cost of this failure is 100000 lives and seven big battleships Or March IS the British battleships Ir. resistible anu Ocean and the French battleship Bouvet were sunk ill the Dardanelles. On April the British battleship Lord Nelson was destroyed by the Turks. On May the British battleship Goliath was torpedoed in the Dardanelles, with a loss of BOG lives. On May 25 the British warshir Triumph was sunk. followed or May 2S by the Majestic
 An interesting feature of this cam. paign was the report that came just as 1915 was passing that had the Brit ish continued their bombardment on March l9 the strait would have beer forced. as there remained but seven. teen shells in the principal fort on that day. and the Turks had made all preparations to evacuate However this report could not be verified.
 After this the scene shifted to the Balkan states, where Bulgarian, Ger, man. Austrian. Turkish. British, French Servian and Montenegrin forces are now fighting.

Huerta Shows Up Again.

In the meantime. however, Huerta came from his exile in Spain to New York city. where he remained quiet for short time. AS he was endeavor. ing to reach Mexico and again stir up the hornets nest he was arrested al the border by federal authorities and held on charge of conspiracy. Pros. poets for permanent peace in Mexico seem exceptionally bright as 1915 says farewell
 It was an off year in political circles. No big campaigns were on, and every one looked forward to 1916, which is a presidential year In the few elections that were held the Democratic major ity ill the house of representatives was slightly reduced and the pareys ma. jority in the senate was slightly in. creased

Annual Report of County
Judge to the Levying
Court.

During the last current year an effort
has been MADE to conserve the r.
sources and economize the finances Of
the County and with this end IN view
the expenditure for that period Of time
are more than $5. coo less than the ex-
peuses for the proceeding twelve
months.
Two overfows particularly the one
of 1912. greatly augmented the ordinary
expenses of the County in replacing
many bridges destroyed by the flood.
1t was necessary to rush these bridges
to early completion in order to re
establish trade relations with the sever
al business centers of the County Some
of the business men who then most
actively urged and insisted upon the
immediate rebuilding of these bridges
have since seemingly lost sight of the
expense incurred.
During the present year many bridges
have been repaired and in some in
stances practically rebuilt. but only one
bridge of any considerable length has
been constructed. The bridges across
Bayou Macon at Chicot, at the Jarboe
Place and the Kelly Bridge have been
repaired with new piling. bents, string
ers, flooring and banisters and we are
now repairing the bridge opposite Jennie

bridges of only ordinary length have
been constructed, but these are toe
