and after two weeks Of life in the
open, were rescued when the Ameri-

troops at Greenville, who chased the
natives into the interior. The tribes,
they said, had been engaged in civil
warfare, killing many and burning
villages in their daily battles. Fail
ure of the British government to go
through with proposed support of an
uprising against German authority led
the chiefs to order that all English
speaking persons be killed.
Miss Suchow and her companion
were taken to Monrovia by the Ches-

came members Of the Westerns. Mike

phenomenon, was Keokuk player.

Goldsmith's speedy and somewhat
erratlc delivery. Jones started at first
and Riley at short, but were replaced
by Jack Carbine and Jimmy Mailman
who were secured in Chicago along
with Paddy Quinn to replace Barnes.
These players came from the Frank
Inns Of Chicago, at that time one of
the crack amateur mines of the Windy
City.
AT the time the team disbanded be-
cause eastern teams refused to come
to Keokuk and play to the small at
tendance there, the club was made up
as follows:
Quinn, catcher; Golden. pitcher:
Carbine, first base; Miller, second
base; Goldsmith, third base; Hall
man, snortstop; Jones, Baker and
Riley, outfielders.
When the breakup came, Golden
went to Chicago. Jones to Boston
where he finished on the police force
of that city, Miller to the Red Caps
of st. Paul. Goldsmith remained in
Keokuk where he became clerk of the
old Patterson house, and afterwards
owner of the Stanleigh house Quinn,
Carbine and Mailman returned to Chi
cago. Mr.. Ransom lost track of the

If it were Great Britain and her al
lies might point with considerable

years of more than three times the
acreage of the German empire.
The second anniversary of the war

matters. Germany's armies are today
Just as much unsmashcG as they were

regarded as negligible. OF little more
account, in their border aspects, have
been the misfortunes of the allies in
Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and in the
Balkans.
The last year on the western front
has been one of stale'ame. There
have been tremendous -osses on both
sides, but the lines of the opposing ar
mics follow much the same course as
they did in August of 1912. Each has
bitten few slices out of the other S

have been captured and some of them
nave been recaptured; but one requires

eye sight to detect the changes, Both
armies, their losses recruited, remain
unbroken.
Defenses Now Impregnable
Under the new style of intensive
trench warfare which has been steadi'
ly developing on this front during the
two wears, the defences of each have
apparently become inlrregnable. The
objective of the "big push in tnese
latter days is not so much to break
through to the Rhine. or to the Chan

"Attrition" has become the motto
on the western front for both armies
Granted enough powerful guns, with
suliicient ammunition, concentrated
upon any one sector, either may at any
