HOLIDAY PUCK SCORES
A BIG SUCCESS
Week,v Rich in Color Plates.

Weekly Rich in Color Plates.
The Holiday Puck is the finest
number of this sprightly satirical
weekly that has reached our desk.
Although the number is rich in sa-
tire and contains some very clever
stories by Stephen Leacock, James
Huneker. George Jean Nathan and
others, what particularly strikes us is
the wealth of color plates. The col
lection is really an extraordinary one,
ranging from a canvas called "The
Struggle for Life" by Christian Krogh,
Norwegian, to contributions from
Ralph Barton in Paris. "The Struggle
for Life" was awarded the silver med
al at the Panama-Pacific Exposition,
and is one of the reall notable can
vases in the Fine Arts Building
There are six other color plates in.
cluding one by F. Earl Christy, one
by Hamilton King, and one by Cory
Kilvert.
The issue reminds one in many
respects of the Christmas issue Of
"L'1llustration" of Paris, or some Of
the best numbers of "Jugend." We
recommend this issue of Puck to any
OF our readers who are interested in
unusually fine color reproductions.
And there is good satire in the mum.
Der. too. one bit of fun by Herbert
Tolan is going to make the editors of
Puck's contemporaries gnash their
editorial teeth.

LOOK FOR REAL BOUT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Both Novak and Mattson Conf
dent They Will Win Com
ing Match.

The coming wrestling match be-
tween Frank Mattson of Minneapolis
and Joe Novak of this city at the
Grand theater Wednesday night has
aroused considerable interest and en-
thusiasm among fans in this city and
surrounding towns. The match ought
to be dandy, for two .easons: one,
that both men agreed to weigh alike
when they step on the mat, which will
be 152 pounds ringside; and the other.
that the men have been hurting chal.
lenges and defying one another for
over a year, each claiming the other
lodged and sidcstepped. H.
The above is enough to convince
fans that they are not on friendly
terms and they can look for some
thing doing from the time they enter
heoring9until the match is over.
7 Novak is training hard every day
and BY the 18th will be in the best
of condition. ,Mattson writes from
Minneapolis that he is in tip top
shape now, as he has been working
out at Dr. Cooks gymnasium for the
past 80 days,
Local promoters have secured the
Grand theater for this match and
they guarantee accommodations and
seats for everybody. Seats will be
sold at popular prices, SOC and 75c
ringside $3.50. All ringside seats
will be on the stage.

MAROON COACH
D|Sl|KES PLAN
Favors College Base Ball But
Not Professionalism; Min
nesota Drops Game.

Chicago, Dec. 9.Baseball of the
summer and other varieties was the
principal topic of discussion at the
University of Chicago today, the Ma
room rooters as whole considering
the action Of the conference repre-
sentative as too hasty to meet gen.
eral approval. T:le fact that Illinois
already has taken such action on the
case as to insure it's reconsideration
will give the University Of Chicago
a chance to register their opinions
on the baseball question before it is
finally settled.
Director Stagg. on account of the
fact that he was not present at the
meeting of the professors on Satur.
day, declared that he was unable to
say no wthe matter would finally end.
While he is very anxious to see all
trace OF professionalism kept out Of
intercollegiate athletics, the Maroon
director is not yet resigned to tao
plan of abolishing the sport entirely,
and is hopeful that some arrange
mcnt may he reached whereby it will
he possible to retain the diamond
game.
MinnesOtas plea taat baseball was
abandoned at the Gopher school on
account of the financial side Of the
question, and Purdue's claim that the
deficit incurred by the baseball sea-
son also was the Roilermakers' rea.
son for dropping the sport, was critl.
cized by the Midway coach, who de.
clared that baseball financially was
not nearly so bad as some Of the Big
Nine colleges indicate.

MADE NO OFFERS.
Austria and Italy Have Had nc
Direct Interchanges.

Contrary to stories in the French
and the British press, Austria-Hun
gary opened no direct negotiation!
with Italy concerning possible terri
torial concessions. From the highes
sources at Rome it is affirmed tina
everything done in this line was du'
to Germany's initiative.
The action Of the German ambas
sador to Italy, Prince Won Buelow, j
is said, was animcted by desire tt
eliminate the causes Of the ancien
antagonism between Austria anc
Italy, but even the work Of the for
mer imperial chancellor OF German!
In this direction was cautious, so tha'
decided statements which hcye ap
peared in one sense or the other were
premature.
This, prominent Italians point out
is why Italy vigorously continues hel
extensive military preparations, no.
knowing what the future may bring
when, next day, according to the
most reliable opinions, the European
war will take definite turn.
The council of ministers did moi

The ministers considered proposed
rules to prohibit the publication o!
news Of military character, q plar

SHOULD CONSIDER THE FARMER
Office of Public Roads Issues Bulletin
on Radiating Roads.

A bulletin issued by the Office OF
Public Roads of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture contains a
map Of Dallas county, Ala, as illus
trating the intelligent handling Of the
problem of road improvement so as
to benefit the largest number Of far
mers.
The map shows five improved roads
centering at Selma. One of these
branches a short distance from town
making six radiating roads. Only
two relatively unimportant roads
leading out from Selma are unim-
proved. The total length of improv-
ed roads in the county is 197 miles.
While this is only 10 per cent. Of the
total road mileage, as result Of the
policy Of improving part of the mile
age Of each important road leading
out from their principal market town
and shipping poirt, the farmers in
nearly every part Of the county have
an improved road for at least part OF
their haul to market. AS was point
ed out by President Harrison OF
Southern Railway company, in his
address before the American Road
Congress at Atlanta, the farmer
should be given first consideration in
the selection Of country roads to be
improved and the greatest possible
number of farmers will be benefited
by system Of radiating roads such
as has been adopted in Dallas Coun-

Ocean-Going Lumber Rats.

Several times each year during the
shipping season, ocean-going los
RATS as large as some Of the creates
intercontinenta liners are towe6
down the Pacific coast from the lum'
Der camps OF Oregon into the harbors
at San Francisco and San Diego. This
is the way certain lumber interests OF
the Nodthwest are solving the prob
lem of transportation Of raw timber
for in contrast to charge amtuntina
to $40 per thousand board feet
which was made few yearas ago
for shipment by rail, the cost by this
medium is reduced to 81. 1t does
not only mean lower prices and an
immense saving to the consumers,
but it also enables low grades OF
material, which otherwise would rep
resent loss. to be placed on the
market profitably.
I'm the last few years 20 of these
titanic log barges have been success
fully foated to San Diego" says the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine
in an illustrated article. I'm no
case, so far as is known, has any seri-
Gus trouble been experienced, and in
most cases not even log has been
lost, despite the fact that the average
length of these RATS is about 700
feet, the thickness approximately 80
feet, and the breadth amidships So
feet. Between 100000 and 5,000,-
900 board feet of timber is contain
ed in each one"

"a hours or his ship and crew will be
interned for the war.
The German captain could appeal
for time to make further repairs, but
this would be granted, it is thought,
only on new and unexpected show
ing as to the unseaworthiness Of his
vessel.
1t appears to be the general opin-
ion that Commander Thierichens
would not ask that his ship be in
termed, but would wait out his time
limit and compel the government to
act. Officials recalled the statement
of Capt. Kieh1e of the American ship
William P. Frye, sunk by the Eitel,
who declared when he reached shore
from the cruiser that she would not
put to sea again during the war. He
refused to say on what he based his
prediction, but officials believe his
long association with the Eitel's Of
fcers qualified him to speak with
some authority.
1t was suggested to officials that
the presence Of numerous British
horse transports at Newport News
might serve to delay the departure of
the Eitel should her commander de-
termine to attempt dash to sea past
the patrol of warships said to be
maintained by the allies beyond the
three-mile limit. Under neutrality
laws no belligerent warship such as
the Eitel may leave port within "a
hours after the departure Of an ene-
my merchant craft.
By sailing in and out Of the har-
Dor at frequent intervals the British
merchant shippers could delay the
Eitel's dash if they so desired. 1t
was thought, however, that no such
manoeuvre would be attempted as the
conclusion was general the Eitel
would not put to sea and the allies
were not desirous Of delaying the
time of her internment.
Secretary Daniels and Acting Sec
retary Breckinridge of the war de-
partment conferred regarding the
measures to carry out neutrality laws
in the case Of the Eitel. Mr.. Breck-
inridge said no orders had yet 5een
given to the post commander. He de-
clared that even in case Of naval
battle within the three-mile limit,
should the Eitel make the dash, there
would be no firing from forts without
express orders from Washington.

WILSON on FOREIGN SOIL.

President Wilson, accompanied by
Secretary Daniels and party Of aides
arrived at Annapolis, Md, shortly
after noon Monday on the Mayfowel
and went aboard the new Argentine
gattleship Moreno, as the guest al
luncheon of the Argentine ambassa-
dor, DR.. Naon.
AS the Mayfower neared the Mo-
reno the entire crew Of the Argentine
battleship came to the all and ships
band played "The Star Spangled
Banner" At the last strains Presi-
dent Wilson's flag was run up and
the Moreno fred presidential sa-
lutte of 21 guns. Little difficulty was
experienced in transferring the presi-
dents party from the Mayaower to
the Moreno. The president was greet
ed at the rail by Ambassador Naon
Rear Admiral Martin, president OF
the Argentine naval commission, and
Commission and Capt. Galindez, OF
the battleship. The luncheon was an
elaborate one and the entire battle
ship had been made spick and span
for the occasion.

GIRL SAW MEN FIGHT.
Shouts Encouragement to Her Escort
During Pistol Battle.

Miss Agnes Farmer, Is, was fore
ed to act second for two young men
friends Saturday who fought a duel
on the highway. Harvey Hurt, %,
had Miss Farmer il buggy on their
way home in the country. He met
Ira Scott, "a, coming to town on a
load Of cotton. The men had quar-
relied over an affair. Of no interest to
Miss Farmer. When they met in the
road the row was resumed. The girl
pleaded for peace, but the men want
ed to fight. She stood up in the
buggy and told Hurt to fight for his
life. The men stepped of 20 feet
and opened fire. During the duel
Miss Farmers would call to Hurt to
be cool, aim straight and fire quick.
Each was wounded three times. Hurt
was hit twice in the left shoulder
and once in the neck Scott was shot
twice in the left lung, and is serious
ly injured. Another shot broke his
right arm.

smokeless powder is being made to-
day the powder mills of the world
will consume a minimum Of 1900
900 bales Of cotton. He says cotton
because the powder people are in
such a hurry to get supplies on which
to work that they can not wait for
linters. The European plants are u.s.
ing cotton and the contract for the
American plant, which will require
100 bales a day and to which refer
ence has been made, is for cotton,
not linters.
The truth Of the matter probably
IS that this war is such gigantic af-
fair that estimates relating to cotton
ia connection with it can not be made
according to ordinary standards OF
reasoning. Never was powder used
so lavishly as now. There are said
to be 81 warships engaged in the
bombardment Of the Dardanelles
The big ones are burning up cotton
at a monstrous rate. A 12-inch gun
uses 800 pounds OF powder every
time it is fired. It is theoretically
possible for battleship to use from
5000 to 5000 pounds Of powder a
minute or from 10 to II bales Of cot
ton a minute in firing all its guns.
It would take a fair sized planta-
ton to supply enough material for
the powder Of the Queen Elizabeth
alone. The feet at Symrna has shot
enough cotton at or into the Turks
to clothe an army corps, perhaps.
And what of the millions of men In
the rife pits and those serving the
hundreds Of batteries from Ostend
down to the Swiss border and from
the Baltic to Bukowina?
Russia, England, Germany, Tur-
key, France and Seryia have been
making or buying all the powder
they possibly could. Italy, Greece.
Roumania and Bulgaria have been
piling up as large stores OF the great
essential as possible. Holland, Spain.
Portugal, Sweden, Norway, Denmark
and Switzerland have had to increase
their stocks Of powder as a matter Of
precaution.
And now the period is approach
ing when, according to Kitchener.
the war really begins.
To the cotton trader the statistics
OF supply and consumption are not
so dependable this year as ordinarily.
If 100000 bales or more Of cotton
90 into powder they are not likely to
appear in the mill figures.

ASKED TO ENFORCE LAW
GOV. MANNING HOLDS CONFER.
ENCE WITH MAYOR GRACE.
The Gambling Law and Liquor Law
Were Especially Pointed Out for
the Mayor's Attention.

Definite action must be taken
within a week." Gov. Manning told
Mayor Grace of Charleston Monday
afternoon at conference between
them. 81 asked Mayor Grace" said
the governor, "as head OF the gov
ernment Of Charleston, to enforce the
law. I specially mentioned the gam
bling law and the liquor la7. I ask
ed for enforcement md not regula-
ton. I pointed out to Mayer Grace
that as so much has been said and
written on the situation, and as so
much time has already elapsed on &C
count OF his illness, since I had first
taken the matter up with him, that
definite action must be taken within
week; that the public is so we'll in
formed on the situation that nothing
could be gained by further delay"
The statement Of the governor fol-
lowed the publication in the local af-
ternoon newspaper Of an interview
with Mayor Grace, in which ne was
quoted as saying:
"Goy. Manning told me unequiTo-
cally to enforce the law in Charles
ton. I took his order" Continuing
this interview says: Mayor Grace
was rather reticent in discussing the
liquor situation in Charleston, say
ing that everything appcrtaining to
the illegal sale Of intoxicahts had
been aired by every one on every oc-
casion. He ayerred, however, that
Charleston should be granted auto
nomy, that the people Of the city
should be allowed to regulate their
own affairs as to liquor selling IN a
progressive way.
1.-The Charleston mayor is Of the
opinion that the State needs a new
constitution, which will do away with
the present cumbersome system OF
legislation and allow progressive
measures to be passed. He also
thinks that Charleston needs new
city charter, but it can not be grant
ed unless there is a change in the
organic law Of the State
Mayor Grace reached Columbia
Monday on the Carolina Special and
went into conference with Gov. Man.
ming at the executive offices, their
talk lasting about an hour. At first
the governor would have nothing tc
say for publication, and it was not
his intention to give out anything
but when he saw the statement OF
Mayor Grace in the local paper he
dictated the interview in which he
said that Mayor Grace had been
given one week in which definite &C.
ton must be taken.
What he will do if the mayor fails
| to take definite action within the
specified time was not intimated by
Gov. Manning.
