Norwich bulletin., 1917-12-22

After a long conversation with the sentry I learned that it was a beauti- Eul city on the Rhine with Dom (ca-. theGraD. I didn't know what Dom meant and the sentry didn't know any French. He kept repeating the word so often that l thought him very pro fane.
 While I was talking to the sentry a fast train overlook and passed us like a flash. Swelling out his chest. he in formed me that this train was going more than 100 kliometers an hour and that many trains in Germany did that [ knew one particular train that didn't and wished to God it would hurry, or that rhey would let us off to walk for a willie.
 -1 ,.y,-s Children Were Naughty.
 We passed several groups of children who threw kisses toward the forward erd of the train. We wondered why, and poled our heads out of the win ahead were loaded with German wounded When the children saw us they cooked up their chins and drew their hands across their necks, indi- eating the pleasant end we would have if they could get at us with knife.
 | We saw Russian and French pris- oners working in the fields, waved to them and received a cheery response About D. drew into Cologne, | craWied across one of the huge bridges over the Rhine and into station. The tracks were some distance above the street, where an interested crowd soon i gathered to look up al the British | prisoners and probably curse England i We looked right through them and quietly cursed Germany and all the | Germans.
 i On the platform were numerous Red | Cross orderies who took charge of Us. We were led to a waiting room, where we spent another half hour, and were 1 then taken outside and loaded into two small tram cars handled by women l We were so crowded that half of us l had to stand up and hang on to the straps. The platforms were filled with vicious looking sentrie5 with fixed bay onetS who looked as though they wish ed one of us would try and escape so that they could have a good excuse for using the business end of the rifle. At that particular moment we didn't want to escape; all we wanted was to sit. down somewhere, anywhere.
 Giving the People a Treat.
 The trans carried us back across the bridge and wound. their tortuous way through the main streets of Co., ilogne. I think the drivers had in structions to show Us off to the people because I now know that We could have come a much shorter way than
 we did Everything came to a stand still we went by. The crowds stared. A-few people missed and booed, but
 there was no violent demonstration of
 any sort.
 We turned into side street, where
 the trains stopped in front of a stone
 building set back about twenty feet
 from the other buildings, and with an
 iron fence across the street. At the
 gate stood a sentry.
 l The doors of the building were flung open. Men in uniform and others in long white coats came rushing out. There was much excitement and shouting of orders.
 , With bayonets lowered at a con-
 venient angle the sentries conducted
 us past a crowd of awe-struck chil-
 dren and through the gate. We had arrived at last.

The second year of the Trapshooting school on the Million Dollar Pier at the greatest of American seaside re- sorts-Atlantic City, N. J.-proved even more successful than the first.
 Six thousand and eighty five per sons, of which number 515 were wo- men, visited the school and shotA over teh traps in 1917, compared to 5,122 persons in, 1916. In the first, year the number of women who shot were 342. The school was begun as an experi- ment, the i6s1 being to introduce trap shooting to people who were not ac- quainted with the sport. The school has done everything that the founders figured it would-and more, Three thousand and sixty men who had new CT shot over the traps tried the sport this year, compared to 24S3 novices in 1916-a gain of 577. There were 40 women novices this wear as against 29O last year-a gain of 12Q.
 Those who. tried the sport alluring'' the year before strung along again and helped the figures mount up wards.

A. PANORAMA OF COLOGNE
Fourth Canadian Mounted Rifles

Wells and I were put in what might have been termed the drawing room of a tenth class Pullman. It was small compartment about six feet square With wooden seat on each side. We at once lay down on the seats, which were made of nice soft wood. We were soon disturbed by a German sentry, who came in and propDcd himself up in one corner and settled down to watch his dangerous CD prisoners That left room for only one to lie down, so we decided to take two hour shifts. my friend of the Red Cross was on the train. as he had said and produced a real pillow, for which we blessed him.
 I have passed more comfortab ble nights before and since, but that hard bench and the pillow seemed like feather bed to me and when it was my turn to lie down I always felt that Wells just twisted the hands of his watch around and woke me up.
 In the morning the sentry produced a greasy looking parcel from which he extracted a chunk of black bread. bit of cheese and a piece of sausage With the assistance of a clasp knife and a great deal of unnecessary noise he breakfasted. After this interesting 2 performance he proceeded to fumigate the compartment with the smoke from one of his cigars. We enjoyed it all With the exception of the imitation of a gas attack.
 We also were given breakfast con- sisting of a piece of the now familiar black bread and a cup of acorn cof- fee.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH. Money Market Continued Very Firnn' All Call Loans Holding at 6 Per Cent.

New York, Dec. 21.-The authorita-- tive statement that all reports con corning the next government loan are merely conjectural and decidedly pre- mature and signs of a collapse of the peace negotiations between Russia and the central powers contributed to the further strength of the stock mar ket today.
 Rails and the more representative industrials moved to highest levels in the afternoon, but shaded point or more toward the end, the reversal synchronizing with the definite an nouncement that action on the railroad situation is to be postponed until after the holidays. Sales aggregated 6oO'- 600 shares.
 With the many large financial op- erations now under way, the money market continued very firm, all call loans holding at per cent. Time rates were steady at 3-4 to for mixed collateral, but in point of fact funds were almost unobtainable, except for the shorter maturities.
 Exchange on France, Russia and Spain, moved more in favor of those countries, rubles being in fair demand for the first time in weeks.
 All the foreign bonds augmented yesterdays gains some by to per cent. Domestic issues also displayed frrner tendencies. Liberty 4s sold at S71O to 97 and the 3 1-2s at 9S.34 to 9S. 10. Total bond sales, par value, amounted to S, 375 900.

HEISMAN SAYS GEORGIA
 TECH HAD BEST TEAM.
Figures That His Team Was 37 Points Better Than Navy-33 Points Better Than Pitt.

As an interesting aftermath to the football season a number of statistics on the Georgia Tech football team have been compiled by J. w. Heisman, coach at that institution.
 Heisman in contending his team was by far the strongest in the country turns to comparative scores, made within a few days of each other = From the Tech 98 to victory over Carlisle Heisman figures his team was 37 points better than the Navy, IT points better than West Virginia, and 70 points. better than West Point.
 From his Penn victory he figures his team 33 points better than Pittsburgh and claims his Auburn victory gives him a 61 point margin on Ohio State.
 According to Heisman's figures his team was 49 points better than w. and J., 35 points stronger than Chicago and 55 points better than Georgetown.
 Some records broken by Georgia Tech in recent years are:
 1. Scored the greatest number of points eyer run up in one game, on Oct. z. 1916, against Cumberland uni versity.- Points totaled 222 2. Scored highest average per min ute ever made in one whole game (same), time of game being 45 minutes actual play. Average per minute.
 B. Consecutive successful goal kick ing. In same game James Preas, for Tech. kicking 16 in succession. Might have kicked many more except for fact that he was taken out of the game at this stage.
 1. Went 2s games without defeat.
