The West Chester Gun Club is
shooting in remarkable form this
year. having lost but one match IN
the Philadelphia Trapshooters'
League race, and that to the Whining
ton Trapshooting Association on No
vember 25. They have won their last
three shoots, ana are second in the
league. but despite these facts Il Is
entirely probable that they will meet
more than their match when they
tackle the Glen Willow Gun Club
next Saturday on the latters grounds
in Roxboro. West Chester is not
very FAR ahead Of Glen Willow in
the number of targets broken, and
though they are three points ahead
OF them in the league race, at the
present time. their lead will probably
not be so great after Saturdays
match.
The Highland Shooting Association,
which was defeated by the local club
on the 9th, shoots the IS. S. Whites,
at Holmesburg Junction. The Whites
are at the present time champions of
the league, having won oil OF their
five matches. and their shoot with
Highland will not affect their stand
ing any, other than 20 add two points
to the number they are now credited
with. The Whites should win the
shoot hands down
The match between the Ciearyiew
Gun Club and the Camden r. r. r.
Club, at Camden, will be a close one.
BY strange coincidence both clubs
broke 455 targets in their respective
league shoots last Saturday They
are both tied with Glen Willow FOR
last place IN the race, although
Clearview has broken 62 more tar
gets than the Camdenites IN the first
five matches. The fact that the race
will be shot in Camden gives the
"slSeeters" an edge on the contest
and. II they have anything like their
full team out. will win the match by
at least ten targets.

fall into the hands of Germany as a
result of an armistiee or peace De-
tween the Petrograd government ana
the Central Powers. The Siber1ans

Allies and has already taken steps 10
preyent aid and comfort going to the

Petrograd yesterday that the Siberian
provisional government had ORDERED
the stoppage Of all food that was de-

ground that it might fall into the
hands of the Germans and that steps
would. be taken to prevent aid from
Siberia reaching the enemy.
Disintesration Seen
Establishment of provisional gov

step in the disintegration of what had
been the empire of Russia since anar-
chistic radicals secured control in
Petrograd and Moscok. 1t Is admit
ted that It will take strong man to
again weld together the fragments, but
hope is expressed that this will yet be
achieved.
The combination of Kalfdines and
Korniloff, backed by the Imperialistic

Kalidines has money, stores and pro-

Portuguese have guessed from the

That the cabinet of the republic of
Portugal may have been reorganized,
or that several ministers resigned and
their places were filled by members
Of the opposition party, is now the
belief of Portuguese residents, al
though official advices from Lisbon
have not been received by the Portu-
guese consulate here. 1t is not be-
lieved that revolution, or any dis
order in Lisbon or Oporto, was fol-
lowed by the wholesale change of
ministers, but that. the government
found It expedlent to demand the
designations Of most of the cabinet Of
ficers and appoint new ones in their
stead. II is further believed that the
revolution idea originated In Madrid,
and that news agency influenced by
German agents, circulated the story
that the change in cabinet officers
was q revolt against the government,
resulting in its overthrow.
