MIIWAUKEE's CITY GARDEN.

The city of Milwaukee itself has gone into the war garden business in way that other cities might well follow City will be used in blowing vacant lands donated for gardening The city council has appropriated $500 be used in blowing and seeding these lands The plan is to sell the produce to the of the city at cost
 The Milwaukee plan is a slight variation from most of the garden the country. And it sounds like wise It will interfere at all with the dens of individual citizens But in every community there probably many people who unable for one another to do gardening And there also lots that may go unworked in spite of the growing enthusiasm for gardens. In Milwaukee those lots will be taken of They will be worked scientifically and systematically The results should be good.
 Selling the products to the poor of tile city at cost is excellent part the plan The very poor apt be the who lack either time strength to make gardens. They also the who suffer most from food scarcity and high prices. The city gardens will be boon to them. and through them to the whole com munity.

WAR SUMMARY

After repulsing German counter at tacks from FTesnoy southYard to the southern corner Of the Hindenburg line at Laon and farther eastward to- ward the Champagne district, the British and French troops in France are holding the majority of the posi- tions gained last week and are mak- | ing some progress against desperate resistance.
 | Some of the German attacks were broken up by artillery and others were driven off after hand to hand infantry fighting. One of the most violent Ger man attacks was an assault on Cra- onne and the positions near it, taken by the French on the previous day, but the assault broke down with great French east of Mont Carnillet and by the British north of Havincourt waad.
 Bullecourt continues a center of most intense battle with alternate ad- vance and retirement on both sides. South of that point the British have bombed their way into German trenches of the Hindenburg switch toward Queant. This penetration is regarded as of great tactical strength. Artillery fighting is intensive along the Aisne front.
 The outcome of the contradictory situation in Russia where mobs have denounced members of the provisional government, remains puzzling. Chief developments in Petrograd Saturday were the adoption by the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers delegates oi a vote of confidence in the govern ment and the forbidding of all meet ings or armed demonstrations tor two days. The troops in Petrograd were ordered to remain in their barracks. Premier Lvoff and Foreign Secretary Milukoff have declared that the gov ernment will resign rather than recall the note sent May Day to the entente governments assuring them Russia would prosecute the war vigorously.
 The German chancellor will make within a fortnight a plainer declara- tion of Germany's peace conditions, according to an announcement by Dr. Karl Helffrich, the German vice-chan- cellor.

The determination of Secretary

raise the standards of officers in all

cause of physical disability, was re-
opened after Major General Charles

WILLARD NAMES
TERMS FOR FIGHT
Red Cross Bout Must Be Ten
Rounds With No
Decision

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Under the new
conditions just announced for his
bout for the benefit of the Red Cross
there is little chance for Jess Willard
parting with the heavyweight cham
pionship. Willard Is willing to meet
any man in the world but the affair
Is to be Il 10-round, no-decision go.
Before Willard declared his willing
ness to step into the ring again,
Mike Collins, manager of Fred Full
ton, had this day set apart for his
boxer to claim the heavyweight title.
Regarding this Willard said:
You can tell Fearless Fred I'm
here and ready to talk business. I'm
prepared to fight anybody who thinks
he has chance. | think I'm the best
heavyweight. and If I'm not ] want
TO find out about It. I'll consider any
propositions. Fearless Fred looks as
good to me as any of the heavy
weights"
Willard does not want to fight be-
fore spring. He said he doesn't know
of any building big enough to put on
the sort of bout he wishes to stage
for the Red Cross.
Benefit Comes First
4 want to put on n big benefit
bout for the Red Cross, and in order
TO accommodate the crowd that un-
doubtedly would be eager to see such
contest l think 1t would be neces-
sary to stage the bout in an outdoor
arena or possibly in one of the big
ball parks.
II don't care so much for the 20
round stuff. so this match will have
to be a 10-round affair. Just as much
money can be realized from short
bout.
II still hope to have a battle with
Carpenter, the French champion. !
| think that would he the biggest kind
of an attraction. l am told that he
now weighs 200 pounds, and that
there wouldn't be such q. difference
in weight as there might have been
/ a year or so ago.
He can do all the claiming he
! wants to so far as the title is con
cerned. I'm here. 1 won't even deny
! his story that he once knocked me
out. He can have n chance to try
again.

CARLISLE OPENS
PITT SCHEDULE
Only One Change Over That
of This Year; Penn
Has Game

pittsburgh, Dec. 22.-The 1918
University of Pittsburgh football
schedule has about been completed
and is almost a duplicate of last
years with the exception of games
played at home and abroad. The
University of Pennsylvania team
will appear against Pitt at Pitts
burgh October 26 none OF the three
big home games of the year. The
other two are with Washington and
Jefferson and Pennsylvania State
College. Penn has met Pitt three
times in football and the proteges
of Glenn Warner have been victori-
GUS in every encounter. Two of the
games have been played in Philadel-
phia. The game here last year drew
$4,000 spectators.
The Carlisle Indians are likely to
open the season locally, playing
October 5. West Virginia Univer-
sity is then met October 10. A

Lehigh is to be played at South
Bethlehem November 2 and then
comes the championship struggle
with w. and J. November 9. Carne-
gle Tech is the attraction Novem-
ber 16 and Penn State plays it's
twentieth annual game here
Thanksgiving Day. The schedule in
cludes eight games. The Carlisle
Indians are new attraction. West
minister and Bethany have been
dropped.
Pitts 1917 football season was a
success so far as victories are con-
cerned, but did not measure up to
former years from a financial stand
point War conditions caused a big
drop in gate receipts and as a result
& general retrenchment policy will
be adopted. The basketball sched-
ule Will be about as heavy as usual,
but 1t is probable that intromural
baseball will replace varsity con-
tests. The track schedule will not
be tampered with as this sport is
looked on as second only in impor-
tancc to football. Wrestling will be
dropped, but swimming and tennis
teams will be maintained as usual.
Many of the athletes in all
branches of sport have entered the
service. OF the varsity basketball
squad of eight, three remain. More
than half the members of the track
team are in the service,

Carlisle Indians Return
to Baseball Game and
Plan For Strong Team

Carlisle, Dec. 22.-The Carlisle
Indian School after n lapse of seven
years in baseball activities, has de-
cided to put a Carlisle Indian base
ball club for the coming season.
Games will be played against col
leges and academic institutions in
this section of the country but an eff
fort will be made to avoid schedul-
ing contests which would probably
be too one-sided.
Former Mercersburg baseball
coach, Eugene Hanks, has been Sc
cured to instruct the redskins. Hanks
is an old player himself and has had
managerial experience.
The Indians would be glad to have
offers of games. They have decided to
play about IS per cent. of the sched-
ule at home and will continue
throughout the summer in all prob
ability.
