Optimistic of Future, Saying Plans

LONDON. January /. 5:32 a.m.--The
Amsterdam correspondent of Reuters
Telegram Company says that Emperor
william, according to dispatch from
Berlin. has sent the following New
Year address to the army, the navy
and the colonial troops:
Comrades: Another year of severe
fighting has elapsed. Wherever a su
perior number of enemies have stofmed
our lines they have failed before your
LOYALTY and bravery. Wherever I have
sent you into battle you havq gained a
glorious victory. Thankfully we re-

who joyfuIy gave their blood in order
to gain security for our beloved at

shall accomplish with Gods gracious
help.

I'm impotent madness enemies from
the west and east, from the north and
south still seek to deprive us of all
that makes life worth living. They
long ago buried the hope to conquer
us in honest fighting. On the weight
of their masses. on the starvation of
our entire people. on the influence of
their campaign of calumniation. which
is as mischievous as it is malicious,
they believe they can still reckon.
Their plans will not succeed. Be
fore the spirit of determination which
impertrubably unites the army and
those at home their hopes will be mis-
erably disappointed With will to
discharge the duty to the fatherland to

Possible Future Action.
BERLIN. via London. January l.
Gen. Jecoff. comma nder-in- chief of the
Bulgarian forces, is quoted by cor
respondent of the Tageblatt as having
ing an interview at Bulgarian head
quarters, that no decision had yet been
made as to whether action would be
pursued against the Anglo French eX-
petition upon Greek territory.
The general stated. says the corre-
spondent, that the problem of the con-
tinued presence of the entente expedi-
tion at Saloniki and of further action
|
tro-German allies involved questions
primarily of a political nature in which
military action was dependent upon
negotiations which were uncompleted
at that time. He asserted that the dan
ger from the presence of the Anglo
French forces at Saloniki was above
all political since the entente powers
undoubtedly hoped through the result
ant complica tions to drag Greece into
the war on their side.
Serbians Not Pursued.
Gen. JecoT intimatad that the Bull
garians had abandoned further pursuit
of the remnants of the Serbian army
| into Albania not only on account of
| the wretched communications. but also
because of political considerations.
The Albanians themselves, however.
were attending to the completion OF
the destruction OIL the Serpian army
he said.
Passing to the general consideration
of the war, Gen. Jecoff said he doubt :
| ed whether the world conflict would
| be decided in the Balkans. Russia
| was scarcely in position to bring this
about The entente allies could only
endeavor to force such a decision by
| offensives in the west and the east

| ties of peace, at least not before the
middle of the spring. since the entente
allies set vast hopes upon new often

when this plan was broken down.

counties near Chicago. The scrap
billed for East Chicago last night be-
tween Ever Hammer and Milburn
SayIor was cancelled after about 500
fans had assembled and hundreds
were waiting at Chicago stations to
take trains for the scene. Word
came in time to save them trip.
The Lake county prosecutor de-
clared that Chicago fight promoters
should not make his bailiwick a
dumping ground. He said that pre-
vious warning had been given and
that Lake county intended to stand
pat.
Eliminating arguments, the fans
were robbed of good show, as Ham
mer and Saylor are both willing mix
ers and have not attained enough
prestige to warrant them in stalling
through ten rounds, as champions
sometimes do.
The edict finally closes Lake coun-
ty, and in the future Chicagoans will
have to look to Milwaukee as the
nearest place where the ring game
can be enjoyed.
Baseball politics is standing still,
waiting for the meeting of the Amer
lean league. The National leaguers
have advanced some new ideas, but
the Johnson circuit must approve.
This applies particularly to the pro-
position to reduce the number of 25-
cent seats in big league parks and to
change the manner of drafting play
.ers from the minor leagues.
The two proposals are liable to
meet opposition from the American
league. In that organization the
quarter fans have received good
treatment, and they were the fell
lows who helped to build up the cir
cult. Men like Comiskey in Chicago,
Ball in st. Louis, Navin in Detroit
and the Cleveland interests will I'M
doubtedly stand out for the retention
of big bleacher sections.

teams next, and so on, the stronger
clubs having the last pick. In this
way it is hoped to balance strength
of the leagues.
But the recent actions of American
leaguers do not warrant the belief
that they will take kindly to the idea.
In that organization it has been a
scramble with the bars down, just as
in the National The latter has come
around to the new way of thinking.
Last season, after the race was hot,
and with battle lines tightening, Sc
Veral players were sold in the Amer
lean league, but the teams highest in
the race were the ones to benefit.
Maybe that was because they were
willing to spend money, but the New
York Yankee management has not
been parsimonious, and Col Rupert
and Cap. Huston have had difficulty
influencing their associates to sell to
them.

BRECKENRIDGE TRIMS
WAhPETON AGAIN

One of the most interesting bas-
ket ball games of the season was
staged at the Armory Tuesday
evening and Breckenridge won 25
to 20.
The first half saw Breckenridge
take the lead and keep it all the
way through and although the
score was always close Brecken-
ridge was never troubled to any
great extent throughout the first
half. The cheering before and
throughout the game was strenu-
Gus and in fact deafening at times
This half ended with the score
standing IL to Z in breckenridge
favor.
The second half saw the Wah-
peton team shook up to a certain
extent and this didn't seem to
make any difference. Another
change came rapidly. In the first
few minutes of play in the second
helf Breckenridge piled up 8 more
points TO Wahpeton's two. After
the second change better results
took place and Wahpeton made 8
points to Breckenridge's 8 points.
Then both teams played for some
time with out scoring then Breck-
enridge scored points and Wah
peton 1. If the last line up had
started the game in the beginning
the score might have been re-
versed and game apiece would
have resulted.
Breckenridge has a fine team
and her team work is what beat
Wahpeton, using the short pass
which batfled the Wahpeton
guards at all times. Garfield for
Breckenridge got away with some
long shots in dandy style and Lau
der for Wahpeton got a couple OF
nice ones. The rest of the boys
on both teams played gilt ed 81
ball.

was another of the reading spec
ialties and their work as society
artists was very clever indeed.
Miss Mitton's dancing and Mr..
Putnam's singing brought forth
we'll earned encore.
Miss Edda Albright. as the Old
Woman in the Shoe was another
specially that deserved great Gre
dit. Her impersonation of this char
acter was identical with the theme
and a number of small children
from the little twins also helped
her to large degree to carry the
part through to a successful end.
The two Humpty-Dumpties re-
presented by Allen Voves and Ut
mer Manchester was the finishing
touch to the play and their work
cannot be commented upon strong
enough. Their clever work kept
the audience in fine spirits all the
way through. Their songs using
audience spectators as the sub
jects> brought to these young men
many we'll edflleu compliments.
They were especially fitted for
these two parts and the way they
handled their parts at times
brought the audiences into an up
roar of merry laughter. They
were encored time and time again
and it was fitting that such should
have been the case.
There were number of minor
parts that we haven't room nor
time to mention, but it is suffice
to say that these young people
although handling their parts in
superb style, clearly showed that
they could have handled some Of
the eading roles with marked
degree of success.
The cosIuming was elegant and
the chorus work could hardly have
been improved upon. and it is sui
iicent to say that the little twins
has an usual amount of local tai
ent that they needn't be afraid to
place anywhere. The show was a
fine success for the singing and
acting was better by far than nine
