If the boys play in every game as
they played Saturday we are bound

to show much enthusiasm. But the
best pep was shown by the large

On other fronts only r~econnoiter-

Intensive air fighting took place
Wednesday between the French and
the Germans. Eleven German air
planes were driven down by French
aviators, making a total of 80 de-
stroyed up to that time this week.
The German war Office declares 13
French machines were sent to earth.
Numerous air raids have been carried

FRIDAY

The American army transport An
titles, homeward bound under convoy
was torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine in the war zone Wednes-
day.
About 20 men are missing and prob
ably lost. All the army and navy of
ficers aboard and the ships master
were among the 167 survivors. The
missing are members of the crew,
three civilian engineers, some enlisted
men of the navy and 16 GU Of 33 sol
diers returning home for various rea-
sons. Neither the submarine nor the
torpedo was seen and the transport,
hit squarely amidships, sank in five
minutes.
Indications of a final drive by the
French north Of the Aisne before the
winter sets in are accommodating. The
last "a hours were marked by a series
of sharp local thrusts against the Ger
mar crown princes positions south

attackers valuable results. The leu
tor lines were penetrated near Braye-
En- Laonnois and Laffaux Hill. The
100 prisoners brought back turned out
to belong to no fewer than four diff
ferent divisions-S0,00 men-which
shows that the Germans retain a
heavy concentration of troops in that
sector.
Italian dispatches say there was a
renewal of local fighting on the Tren-
tino and Carnia fronts. The enemy's
activity was particularly directed
against our line between Posina and
the Rio FREDDIE valleys. where, after
he succeeded in occupying one of our
advanced posts north of Monte Majo,
and breaking into another east of
Calgari. We ~dislodged him from the
former post and drove him from the
latter post with fire, capturing 40 sol
diers and three officers. On the Julian
front an enemy attack on the northern
slopes of San Gabrielle was crushed by
our fire.
No reports Of any fighting, except
artillery duels, has come from the
British front.
Russian feet acted nobly in face
of greater adversary in the Moon
Sound engagement. German advance
retarded but not stopped. Situation
serious and an attempt to land on
main land may see fight between Russ
and Teut0n.

ONLY wilson and
DANIELS KNOW!
By J. Herbert Duckworth

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Uncle Sans
battle feet has mysteriously and completely
disappeared. 1t is purposely lost and no.
body here knows its whereabouts except
President Wilson, Secretary Daniels and the
chief of naval operations.
From now on until the end of the war,
whether we become involved in hostilities
with Germany or not, it is not likely our navy
will have its hiding place revealed.
Absolute secrecy of movement is the first
law of naval strategy. When the Germans
bombarded the east coast of England the
people angrily demanded to know where Ad-
miral Jellicoe's fleet was.
