High School Foot Ball
Eleven Enjoy Fine Spread

The football eleven of 1917 brought
their most successful season to a glo-
rious close last night with a grand
banquet. The boys tackled the
courses with the vim that they had
tackled their opponents.
Prof. Ross Rogers officiated as
POSTMASTER, assisted by the coach,
E. R. Enlow, whose presence added
much interest to the feast After the
supper a number of speeches were
delivered by leading members of the
team. Mr.. Oppenheimer, of the dance
committee, gave a very interesting
talk. Jack Herkovitz, of the debat-
ing society, spoke in behalf of his
division. Many of the boys who have
been pursuing athletics for the past
two months will become members of
the debating society. c. J. Heinburg,
of the Dramatic club, outlined the
plans of the dramatic class for the
coming year, and also gave some de-
tails of the class play which will be
held later in the year. John Sheppard
spoke in behalf of the senior men,
bers who leave this year, wishing the
team of '18 very successful season.

AUSTRIA WANTS TO SOUND
OUT ALLIES ON PEACE
Count czernin Sees Hope for End Of
War With Austria Acting az
Mediator.

London, Aug "A dispatch from
Zurich, Switzerland, to the wireless
press says:
"A semiofficial Vienna dispatch
says that Count Czernin, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, read with
great pleasure certain statements of
Lord Robert Cecil, minister Of block
ade, in the House of Commons, which
he interpreted as meaning that Eng
land does not regard Austria as real
enemy. From this deduction is drawn
that there are no real obstacles to
peace negotiations between Vienna
and London.
"The message adds that Count Ger
min would be willing to act as a
mediator between Berlin and London
and that he has noted that in France
as we'll as England there is no direct
hostility to Austria.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The admin

The enactment some time next

taken further positions from them
along the Horodenka- Czernowitz rail-
way and I nth of the Dniester river,

On the northwestern frontier Of Rou-

KAISER BOASTS OF VICTORY
EMPEROR ISSUES PROCLAMATION
TO GERMAN ARMY AND NAVY.
Praises Both and Announces That Teu-
tons "Are InvincibIa"-Also 10
sues Proclamation to People.

Berlin, Aug. 2.-Emperor William
has issued proclamation to the Ger
man army and navy and the German
colonial forces.' It reads:
1.-THE third year of the war has come
to an end. The number of our ad-
versaries has increased, but their pros
poets of victory have not improved.
You crushed Roumania last year. The
Russian empire once more trembles
under our strokes. Both countries sac
rificed themselves for the interests of
others and are now bleeding to death.
In Macedonia you forcibly withstood
the enemy's assaults. In mighty bat
ties on the western front you remain
thef masters of the situation. Your
lines. are firm, protecting your beloved
homes against the terrors and devas-
tations of war.
Gives Praise to Navy.
"The navy has achieved good re-
suits. 1t has threatened the enemy's
command of the sea and his very ex-
istence. Far from home little Ger
man group is defending a German COL
ony against forces many times supe-
rior.
"Victory in the coming year will
again be on our side and on that Of
our allies. Ours will be the final VIC
tory.
with a deeply moved heart I thank
you in my own name for what you have
achieved in this last year of the
war. With veneratiou we remember
the fallen who gave up their lives for
the greatness and the safety of the
fatherland.
"The war goes no. 1t is still be-
ing forced. upon us. We shall fight
for our existence in the future with
firm resolution and unfailing courage.
AS our problems multiply so does our
strength increase. We are invincible.
We shall be victorious. The Lord God
will be with u.s."
Also Addresses the People.
Emperor William also issued a pro-
clamation to the German people in
which he said:
"For that which has been accom-
plished at the front let us at home
show our gratitude by tireless toll.
We must still continue to fight and
to furnish arms for it. But our peo-
pie may rest assured that German
blood and German zeal are not being
gambled with for an empty shadow
of ambition or schemes of conquest
and subjugation, but in defense Of a
strong, free empire, in which our chill
dren may live in security.
Let all our actions and all our
thoughts be devoted to this fight. Let
this be our solemn promise Of this
day, August 1, 1917"

Hutchinson, Mimi, Aug. "A near
riot occurred here when J. o. Bentall,
a socialist speaker, accused Postmas-
ter Sam G. Anderson of holding up
mail for him containing anti-draft lit

the platform and offered to thrash the
speaker. Fully 5000 persons, mostly
German farmers, witnessed the affair.
Bentall apologized, and escaped from
the town before a mob of draft sup
porters could reach him. The meet
ing took place in the public square at

Pope Not Backing Erzberaer.

Rome, Aug. Pope Benedict Is
not supporting any peace plans which
the German Catholic party or its lead
er, Matthias Erzberger, may be agitat-
ing. Those close to the Vatican de-
clared that the Pope had been ex.
tremely careful not to support any
particular peace plan, or to permit his
sympathies to incline toward any par
ticular group of peace agitators. Vat
lean officials admitted the Pope was
striving for a lust and Christian
peace" but not through any of the
agencies of others.

U.B0ATS ATTACKED j. S. SHIPS
ADMIRAL GLEAvES TELLS, OF
MENACE TO EXPEDITION.
Official Report to Navy Department
Gives Details of Fight in Which
One Submarine Was Sunk.

Washington, Aug. 2.-General Perish
ing's expeditionary force passed
through real submarine attack.
Three distinct battles were fought.
Evidence shows that at least one Of
the German submarines was sunk.
The truth was made public in the
plain, unvarnished tale of Rear Ad-
miral Albert Gleaves, contained in his
final and official report to the Navy
department.
Great warships evaded the sinuous
undersea craft with remarkable dex-
terity. Torpedo boats pursued the
submarines in the night. Smaller
craft opened fire and the Yankee
troops cheered when a shot went any
where near the attacking boats and
cheered more Justify every time tor
pedo missed it's mark. In exciting in
cident, dangers overcome and in the
inspiring efficiency of the Yankee ma.
Wy, the story surpasses the previous
meagre accounts.
Probably TraiIed All Day.
The first contingent of the Perish.
ing convoy ran into a mess Of Ger
man torpedoes fired from at least two
submarines. Admiral Gleaves believes
the submarines had been trailing the
ships all during the day of June 20,
when weather conditions were ideal
for such pursuit.
Admiral Gleaves believes it was pre-
cipitated by an accident to our own
flagship.
The convoy vessels at the time were
zigzagging ahead of the transports,
scanning every inch Of a dark sea
full of phosphorescence and whipped
with whitecaps-condition ideal for
torpedo attack. The helm Of the flag
ship damned at this moment and al
SO took a sudden right angle sheer
to starboard. She sounded her whis-
tie to announce this sudden change
and Immediately shot across her
bows the telltale wake Of a U-boat.
Lurking on the flank, the undersea
commander evidently thought he had
been discovered. He made his strike.
In an instant the fleet was in action.

MUTINOUS POLES INTERNED
Refuse to Take Oath of Fidelity to
Germans.

Copenhagen, Aug. "A dispatch
from Berlin says the Polish legions
have been disarmed and interned and
that rigorous measures have been
taken in Poland to prevent disorders.
The Germans, the dispatch adds,
found themselves confronted by mu-
tinous Polish army, while Austrian
subjects enrolled in the original legion
insisted on taking the oath to the
new Polish kingdom, as if Galicia were
a part of it. The other members of
the legions with few exceptions re-
fused to take oath Of fidelity to Teu-
tonic sovereigns.
