The Second Regiment Band can now
hold it's own with any band at Llano
Grande. Capt. Hofmeister has certainly
done wonderful work with the band boys.
In case the students should go home,
the band would lose four of the New
Ulm boys which would break things up
quite bit again Orders were received
last week that all high school and college
students should be excused and allowed
to return home. The New Ulm students
are Max Burg.
At the dedication of Mollison Hall,
a building put up to furnish the boys
with place to read and write in, Chaplin
Clemens remarked that the boys had
better write their sweethearts to send
their Xmas gifts to Llano Grande. That
remark caused a great deal Of talk. The
boys are prepared for the worst but they
still expect to see home before Thanks

SHEPPARD WANTS SALARIES U. $.
 EMPL0YES CUT
Bill Proposes to Reduce Sal aries, and Mileage Paid
 Members of Congress.


 washington, Jan. 1.-Two bills affecting government employees, but differing widely in. character, were introduced in congress today.
 Senator Sheppard of Texas submit ted to measure reducing the salaries G: all government employees, includ- ing representatives, senators and army and navy officers. In the house, Representative Lafean of Pennsylvania introduced a bill proposing a half holiday on Saturday the year round for government e&- ployes. NAM Government statisticians figure out that if both bills became laws, the saving effected by Senatar Snep- pard,s measure would be more than offset by the loss of time upon Repre- sentative Lafean's plan. s senator Sheppard's bill proposes reductions in salaries from 12 per cent of those in excess of $6000, down to per ce>- on those of $12OO and $500.
 The Texas senator's bill also pro- vides reducing the mileage paid mem. bers of congress from 20 cents to cents mile.

BOYCOTT
 OF GERMANY WILL HIT |. s. HARE
Senators Aroused Over Re- ported Pact Between
 France and Britain.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Officials of the state department and members ot the house and senate manifested keen intereste today in the announce ment in the house of commons that Great Britain intends to put into operation a gigantic boycott against Germany after the war.
 The deep concern felt in Washing ton was intensified by the realization that such boycott would injuriously affect the development of the foreign trade of the United States.
 During the day there were import ant developments which tended to confirm the British intention, as out lined in the house of commons, and illustrated the disposition of Ameri- can officials.
 These were:
 Statements by senators that noth- ing now can prevent an Outburst o1 sentiment in the senate against Great Britain's treatment of neutral ship ping. :.
 Receipt by the state department from an unofficial source, of informa. tion of pact between Great Britain and France by the terms of which no German merchantship shall ever again be allowed to enter g British or a French port.
 Announcement by the state depart. ment that the questions at issue witf Great Britain will now be put up tc the senate, with view to deteSmin- ing whether these issues are "of vita in effect from the national honor"
 A visit of Senator Hoke Smith t Secretary Lansing, and subsequent. the Georgian's declaration that h' will produce in the senate evidence obtained from Germany which VII prove his contention that Great Brit aims action in making cotton contra band is absolutely illegal.

PINE BLUFF LOSES
 FIGHT FOR LOWER FREIGHT RATES
I. c. c. Refaees Petition for Combination River and
 Rail Schedule.

.a-- E 1s. f if. f41F- !.
 A telegram from9 Washing gtona yes lterday brought the news to the Pine Bluff traffic bureau, that the inter state commerce commission has re- fused to grant the : petition of the traffic bureau. asking that combina- tion river and rail rates be put into effect from central shipping points oS the north and middle west into Pine Bluff. '
 The telegram was brief and gave no detail, hence lthe officials of the traf; fic Dureau are awaiting with sonat interest copy of the decision of the commission, which is expected by mail within the next few days.
 Although the action of the com mission Is disappointment to. the members and officers of the traffic bureau and to local shippers and merchants generally, it Is felt tha' Pine Bluffs case was weakened considerably because of the fact thai when the testimony in the case. wal taken by an examiner for the com mission, there was no regular packe' line in operation on the river, be- tween Pine Bluff and Memphis. Op- position to the petition by a steam boat line with headquarters at Memr phis also has some unfavorable effec' on the petition, 1t is understood here
 Further action in the matter will depend upon the nature of the Ian guage used by the commission in its formal decision.

MOntenegrin Report Admits Loss of LOycen and of UnimpOrtant Interior Town of Berane, But Claims Gains
 at Other Points.

London, Jan. 11.-After four days of furious attack by land, supported by hurricans of uninterrupted fire from their warships, the Austrfans have captured the Montenegrin stronghold of Lovcen. Lovccen is heavily fortified moun- tain, 3,770 feet high, which dominated and menaced the Austrian naval base at Catttaro, on the Adriatic. It is only about six and half miles west of Cettinje,h the Montenegrin capital, to which the way is now practically open.
 The Austrians and Bulgarians have also captured the less important town of Berane, an interior Montenegrin town on the river Linn.
 The Montenegrins acknowledge loss of both places. As an offset the offi- cial Montenegrin report issued this afternoon, claims to have secured im- portant victories on Sunday on the eastern and northern fronts. 1t is evident, however, that Montenegro's gallant little army, surrounded on three sides, is making it's last stand in the mountain fastnesses.
 The Austrian troops are slowly and steadily pressing forward from the north and east, while the Bulgarians are advancing from the south.. British Official Report. -0 London, Jan. 11.-British headquar- ters report:
 "The night was quiet on the British front. Today there was some artil- lery activity about Hulluch and Ypres. "Our efforts, with artillery, trench mortars and hand grenades near Ar mientierres and Saint Eloi were eff fective."
