Raised and Allies Must
Allow Food Imports.

Vile. y. Germany has granted
permission for the carrying on Of re-
Lief work in Poland. provided adequate
funds are raised and the Entente Al
lies consent TO the importation OF food
supplies.

returned from a fortnights trip
through Poland
Nr. Wslcott and Mr. Whitney made
d statement to-day, which is IN part as
follows:
AT the request of the German gov
eminent we visited Poland TO inspect
the devastated district and study the
general food situation. We made the
trip By train and automobile, visiting
the Kobrin. Brest-Litovsk, Warsaw,
wilma and Kovno districts, making a
very thorough investigation. We IN
spected refugee camps, destroyed VII
lagos and the poorer sections Of the
cities.
IN every case we found food con-
diuons extremely grave. In fact, they
are so serious that the civilian popu-
!ation everywhere faces the prospect OF
famine unless prompt relief is obtained.
The ration in many thousands OF cases
consists of e single bowl o. meatiess
soup and a small piece OF bread daily.
Often thousands have soup without
bread.
Roughly. 40 per cent OF the popu-
lation in the occupied territory IS de-
pendent upon the scanty rations de.
rived from charity. In consequence Of
malnutrition and exposure, various
diseases are prevalent.
"To bring relief to this region. in
habited by 100000 persons. Of whom
40 per cent are absolutely dependent on
relief. will necessitate a minimum eN-
penditure Of s2.OOOOO0 monthly. A

which will likely consist of dual
debate with each of the colleges or

In anticipation of these inter-col-

to debate on December Z and and

WEATHER,

If anyone doubted that this sec
ton of the country was due for e..
few days of real, honest winter
weather, his fears were swept away
last night as the mercury came
down a few points an hour
until low mark of 13 degrees was
registered. 1t was is degrees lower
than the point reached when tho
recent cold wave struck Mitchell
September IS.
When the thermometer registered
26 degrees yesterday morning, 1t
was commonly agreed that the
weather department had gone quite
far enough and that no more change
in the temperature was necessary.
But the figures of last night show n
drop of IS degrees and a final low
mark which represents one of the
coolest periods for this time in the
year that this region has known.
The cold was not as noticeable to
the person on the street or indoors
this morning as it was yesterday,
for the strong wind and sleet which
made Thursday highly unpleasant
was lacking this morning.

ELK POINT WINS
BY HEAVY SCORE
MITCHELL DEFEATED BY DOWN
STATE ELEVEN SATURDAY
BI % TOO TALLY.

Playing on field covered with
several inches of mud and water,
Mitchell high school Went down to
a 81 to defeat before more pow
erful eleven from the Elk Point high
school on the latter's field Saturday
The game was devoid of
any spectacular plays and fumbling
was the order of the day.
Credit must be given to Elk Point
or having the strong " team, team
fact which by COMP arison seemed
wen stronger than the Sioux Falls
leven which Mitchell met two weeks
go. This fact is more apparent when
is remembered that Elk Point held
ankton to a scoreless tie on the
alters filed while Yankton out
played Sioux Falls.
The work of the Mitchell eleven
lacked the fire and speed which had
been apparent in the last few days OF
practice. The weather conditions and
the long ride may have caused some
Of this. Mt Coach Wheatley is off"r-
ing no alibi, attributing tho defeat To
tho superior lay of tn ,
team.
Elk Point was able to gain ground
consistently, sweeping the ends for
good gains behind strong interior
ence. Her right tackle and fullback
proved strong in both offensive and
defensive play and aided by good
team work, carried the ball down
the field rapidlT
Mitchell failed to get things run
ming smoothly. During the first half
the "Blue and White" failed to m No
first down once. and although i"
more successful during the la'el
stages of the game. Mitchell offenso
was never strong. Captain Scheuren-
brand, Hoagland and Jacobson doubt
less exhibited the most class of any
men on the local team.
Despite the defeat at Elk Point
Wheatley is far from discouraged and
will start whipping his men in shape
for the Huron battle next Friday. The
new mentor has green team, many
of within are freshman and so3no
mores, and is turning out clever
which will show real strength IN
later games.

have been brought here.
The company, as 1T appeared last
night, consisted of Miss Sharlow, So

company, Robert Dolejsi, violinist,

clan and very we'll balanced pro-
gram resulted.
Miss Sharlow appeared first in a
suite of songs which demonstrated
her clear and sparkling soprano voice
She charmed the audience with her
pleasing personality and the easy
manner In which he rendered her
numbers.
The yiolinist. Mr.. Dolejsi, was in
himself an artist quite out of the
ordinary. Much of his music had
been lost and he was forced to play
a different program than was ar
first group of selections, "Orientals'
by Cut, drew very hearty applause
from his hearers, as we'll as his rem
dition of "Traumeri"
The singer was greeted with much
applause in the fourth number on the
program, a selection of folk and
slumber songs. Her rich voice and
flawless art made her work highly
appreciated by the audience.
The work of Mr. Lurvey, the accom-
PIANIST, contributed very materially
to the success of thep rogram. He
was certainly more successful in
lowing the singer than is usual pian-
list. His execution was very good.
but of course, was only secondary
to his creditable work in supporting
the other members of the company.
