George Walsh, who leads the cast as
Algy Dupont, was the victim.
Those who see this Fox film will
witness fist-fight as part Of the
picture. Walsh, one of the contestants,
is husky fellow, in fact, noted for his
strength. Knowing this the director,
f. A. Walsh (Walshs brother) as
proof of his brotherly affection, pitted
the actor against dark horse, a GER

then the ring heavyweight opened up

And all the time "click, click" went

to keep upright and in that more-or-
less dramatic pose an actor should
maintain. Walsh wins the fight-in
the picture.
After it was all over, Walsh was due
for more than a little good-natured
fun.

wHirEsroNE WAGE ADVANCE
Third Increase at Worsted Mill Dur.
 ing the Year-Effective Dec. 4.

At the mill of the Whitestone Worsted company. of which Howard s. Wood is agent, at Elmville, notices of ten per cent. advance in wages were posted Wednesday morning. The advance is effective Dec 4.
 This is the third advance made at this mill during 1916. The first was of five per cent, the second of ten per cent. In computing the total ad- vance on the basis of the two previ- ous raises in pay for operatives the total increases since the first of the year is slightly in excess of 27 per cent.
 The company employees number about 80, and the payroll runs as high at times as $t.00o a week. The com- pany is rushed with orders, having enough on file at the present time to keep the plant in constant operation until spring. If yarns could be se- cured in sufficient quantity. the plant could be run both day and night. The Whitestone company is the first of the concerns in its line hereabouts to announce a new advance in wages, the other concerns heard from in the same manner this week being engaged in the manufacture of cotton. It is understood, however, that other con- cerns are soon to announce an advance probably also effective on December 4.

ROOSEVELT IS PRESIDENT
 OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
.Mission is to Combat Military op-
 rression by the Great Powers.

New York, Nov. 22. Theodore Roosevelt has accepted temporarily the honorary presidency of the League of Neural Nations, it was announced here tonight. The organization was formed soon after the German hlva- sion of Belgium for the purpose, ac- cording to its members. of influencing public sentiment in favor of the rights of smaller countries against military oppression by the great powers"
 Originating in Switzerland. the league now claims to have branches in Argentina, Chile, Denmark, Spain, Greece, Holland, Peru, Brazil, Nor way, Sweden and the United States. Branches also were maintained in Portugal and Rumania until those countries entered the war, 1t was said. In a statement issued here Colonel Roosevelt, when asked to become pres ident of the league, replied as follows to its representatives,:
 T am the most private of Ameri- ca's private citizens just now and feel the need of a little time to my self. Besides, I have many things to do. I made 1t plain to the general committee in Paris that while I am deeply in sympathy with the purpose of the league and wish it every suc- cess I can only temporarily assume the honorary presidency, although may be able later on to assist in the work of the American branch and will do SO, if I can."

The date for the departure of the new Austro Hungarian ambassador to the United tates, Count Adam Tar noWski von Tarnow, for Washington has not been fixed, but he is not likely to leave Sofia, where he is stationed as Austro-Hungarian minister, for three weeks. Before he starts for the United States arrangements for his safe conduct through British spheres must be made. f@
 That Count Tarnowski is going to Washington pleases all circles :n VIelI- na and at Budapest, as he is regarded as the man best suited for the pest, apart from the fact that he is one Of the most able diplomats in the mon
 archy. The newspapers in commenting on his appointment generally express satisfaction that the Washington post is to be filled again and the hope that the new ambassador will succeed In fostering in the United States not only the good relations between Aus tria- Hungary and this country, but al- so the right impression concerning Austria Hungary position and ob- jectives in the war. The new ambas- sador was attached to the Austro- H un- garian embassy in Washington in 189S-1900.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE = COMM SSloN RESENTS PRESSURE
Which Has Been instigated by Vari-
 ous Shippers.

Louisville Ky, Nov. 22.-Disappro- val of efforts to bring pressure to pear" upon the interstate commerce commission was voiced by Commis- sioner C. c. McChord today at tho car shortage hearings.
 'I find some shippers have been cir cularizins their customers" Commis- sioner McChord said, and as a re- suit the commission is being bom- barded with letters from all parts o1 the country. all of them of much the same character. This will do no good Nothing can be accomplished by a mere effort to bring pressure to bear upon the commission, though infor- nation o' suggestions of a definite character will be, appreciated"
 After Commissioner McChord's statement, the report of an interstate commerce commission inspector rec ommend;nS the use of ore caYs in the coal traffic fthe northwest was read into the record. These cars, the re- port said. usually stand idle during the winter when ore is not moving. Their use, it was asserted, would do much to relieve the shortage of equip ment for the carrying of coal.
