cial permission regarding an offer from
fight promoters in America to meet
Jack Dillon in New York
Il had already refused zoo. 900 francs

NEW YORK. October 7.-Several
elevens from southern colleges and one
from Ohio invaded the east today to
give battle to the leading universities
of this section. Some of the southern
teams are considered the strongest in
that territory.
More than usual interest at this stage
of the foot ball season is displayed in
the Yale-Virginia game at New Haven.
owing to the defeat which the southern
administered to the Connecticut men
last yea1. The Yale men regard their
eleven as 80 per cent stronger than the
one Virginia beat last year
Princeton players look for a strong
opposition from North Carolina at
Princeton. particularly as the Prince
ton team is reported not in It's best
condition. The University of Pennsyl-
vania has rather less to fear of the

DR.. KARL LIEBKNECHT
GETS SEVERER SENTENCE
Must Do Four Years, One Month
Penal Servitude and Is Ex-
PEELED From Army.

AMSTERDAM via London, August "a.
The result of DIR. Karl Liebknecht's
appeal against his sentence for war
treason has been the imposition of
new and severer sentence of four years
and one month penal servitude and ex-
pulsion from the army. according to
dispatch from Berlin.
The appeal was heard Wednesday be-
fore supreme court martial presided
over by naval captain. The socialist
leader was defended by his attorney,
Herr Bracke of Brunswick
In addition to his prison sentence,
Dr. Liebknecht is deprived of his civil
rights for six years. The court de-
clared that the sentence was imposed
for attempted war treason, severe dis
obedience and resistance against the
armed power of the state" The court
announced that as the prisoner has al
ready served one month of his sentence,
he has the privilege of an appeal from
the present judgment. The original
sentence was thirty months imprison-
ment and dismissal from the army.
Commenting on the outcome of the
hearing, the Wolff bureau says:
THE severe sentence appears Just1
fed despite all the circumstances IA
vorable to Liebknecht. if one considers
that he violated his duties as a soldier
and citizen in wartime in the grosseSt

How the war has affected the worlds

ing general conclusions are given:
Business activities were fairly nor

world during the two years preceding
the outbreak of the war.
I'm every country, including the
United States, there was a decided de-
cline in business activity after July

The period of business depression
following the outbreak of the war, last
ed from four to six months in most OF
the neutral countries. In the belliger-
ent countries the upward trend did not
begin until the last few months in
1915.
There was slight depression in
business activity in the United States
in the latter part of 1913 and early in
1914 there were signs of recovery. The
outbreak of the war, however. caused
a decided decline.
The United States at the close OF
the period, April, 1916, had entered
upon a period of business activity
which has had no parallel in the his
tory of the country

tains the most complete statistics and
diagrams issued on the subject under

TREASURES OF MONKS
WORTH MANY MILLIONS
FOUND BY AUSTRIANS

GENEVA, Switzerland,
August o4.-The Austrians,
according to a special dis
patch from Innsbruck. have
found the famous treasures
of the Detchani monastery,
near Cettinie, Montenegro,
which the monks had buried
upon the approach of the in
vaders.
The accumulations were
those of seven centuries,
consisting of Jewels and old
coin of every generation
since the thirteenth century,
golden vessels and richly
embroidered vestments. The
value of the whole accumu-
lation is estimated at several
millions of pounds.
1t is said, adds the dis
patch. that a peasant be-
trayed to the Austrians the
catdcombs where the treas
ure was secreted.
