government sounds the knell of Ger
man ambitions. History will justly ap-
praise President Wilson'S stand.''
The foreign minister, NJ. Pokrovsky,
said: "The breach is of undoubted adj
vantage to us. Germany has set against
herself the most powerful of all the
neutral nations. President Wilson
made every effort to put sense into
the heads of the Germans without
avail.'
Sergius Sazonoff the former foreign
minister, sees Germany grasping at a

enemies, will make a gesture and then

GLENwooD WINS
OVER LEADVILLE

That was glorious double victory
which our high school boys and girls
won last Saturday evening over Lead
vile High in the Cloud City. Both
teams had been somewhat dreading the
onslaught as they had heard that the
big mining camp boasted some clever
ball tossers, and this they found to be
the case, but the excellent team work
and splendid endurance of our players
brought them the victory in each game.
The playing started at $50 and the
girls game came first. Both sides en-
tered the game with plenty of vim and
the playing was fast and exciting from
the first. The Leadville girls know the
game and play it well, but the Glen
wood lassies proved. superior to the
hostess team and by their splendid team
work came out with a score of Is to 6.
But the real conflict came in the
boys game and here is where most of
the interest centered. Our boys were
right on their mettle from the first
jump, but they found themselves well
matched by a bunch of huskies well ac-
customed to the high altitude which
proved rathert,depressing to few Of
our boys.
But the Glcnwood's S showed their Gus
tomary skill in the game and a wonder
full understanding in each others ability
and their team work stood them in
good stead. 1t was anybody's game
until the final blast of the whistle told
that time was up and the game had
been won by Glenwood. From the start
almost to the end first one team and
then another was ahead and our boys
were obliged to put every ounce of eff
fort into the game for they soon real
lied that their antagonists were worthy
of their steel.
The Leadville people have the real
sport spirit for while they heartily
cheered their home team in every sue
cessful play when they saw that our
team had fairly won the game by a
score of 30 to 25 they were not slow
in congratulating the Glenwood boys
on their victory. P.
Their splendid training, their alb
stemious habits and proper physical eS-
ercise gave our boys 2 resistance and
endurance which surprised those whn'
were witnesses of their splendid work,
On account of the absence OF Ray
Oldenburg through illness Douglas
Cross substituted for him as center. The
other players were Joe and Alex Allen,
"Beans' Holland and Rodney Bell.
Mr.. Walton of Leadvillc and Mr..
Sims of Glenwood were the referees.
After the game the Leadville young
folks royalty entertained their visitors
and the trip was therefore most salts
factory from the standpoint of athletic
victory, and also from the point OF
social pleasure.

COTTON GINNED

A statement from the govern
ment relative to the cotton crop
in Hampstead county, just made
public by A. F. Smith of this city,
special agent for Hampstead
county, shows less than one
fourth the amount of cotton was
ginned up to Sept. 25 this year
than to same time last year, This
is partly due to the lateness of
the season, but the boil weevil is
alsopartly responsible. The state
