away around "Heinie" Miller's end for

Berry and Beckett both punted in
magnificent form, averaging close to

quarter each man punted half a dozen
times. generally kicking on the first

In the last five minutes Of play,
after they seemed hopelessly beaten,

REFEREE BEAT HIM
SAYS WALTER MILLER

Walter Miller was apparently
against Clarence Eeklund at Sheridan.
Wye. Tuesday night. according to the
following account from the Billings
Journal. Miller appeared in Missoula
against Tom Sontag in 1915, and Is
fayorably known In this. city. He Is
the present holder Of the worlds well
terweight wrestling championship.
Here's what the Journal says about
the match:
Walter Miller was on the short end
of his match with Clarence Ecklund
at Sheridan yesterday. Miller forA
feited the match after the referee had
awarded Ecklund the first and only
fall after the men wrestled for hour
and 40 minutes, Miller disputing the
decision.
Miller protested against the de-
cision and offered to go on if COM
petent official was to succeed but
Ecklund objected to the swap, whereat
Miller refused to go on.
According to Miller. he was on the
mat, Ecklund on top; Walt was in a
bridge ard the referee tapped Eek
lund. while Miller claims his shoulders
We're at least three inches from the
mat.
'Ecklund weighed ITS pounds and
Miller 157.
Walter says that he had Ecklund

his tearing-in tactics when the match
was spoiled by the official. Repeat

BRAYLESS. MULE is

-(Correspondence of the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-The braylcss. mule is
one of the scientific developments of
the war. Large numbers Of mules have
been imported from America for use at
the 'front.' but their habit OF braying at
announcement moments had to be REM

best advantage. Tho veterinary experts

pertinent they discovered that slight

process.

NORTHWESTERN WILL
ENJOY BANNER YEAR

Followers of baseball in the north
west are encouraged in the belief that
the recent action of the Northwestern
league officials at their annual con-
clhve will tend to give them better
baseball next season.
Tho salary limit for 1917 will be in
creased and. the player limit has been
raised to fourteen players. No games
will be scheduled on Monday during the
season, as the day will be used for
travelling SO teams may make their
jumps without losing scheduled con-
tests.
These details were decided upon at
the Seattle meeting of the directors of
the league. 1t also was decided to hold
the schedule meeting in Spokane in
February. Dugdale of Seattle made an
effort to have the Montana cities
dropped from the circuit, but this was
voted down.
The exact figures on the salary limit
for next year were not announced, but
it will be above $4,000, which was the
limit last year.

AFTER THE WAR-WHAT?

There is great speculation as to
what will be the condition of things
in Europe after the war is over.
For instance, the Cincinnati Enquir-
er says:
ut is devastated Europe that has
to be restored. 1t is a famine-stricken
Europe that has to be fed. 1t is a
war-destroyed Europe that has to be
reconstructed
Those things are largely true. but
there will be more money in Europe
after the war is over than was ever
known in the world before.
The millions that are now being
spent daily by the nations engaged in
the gigantic struggle will have ac-
cumulated into billions.
Those millions have not been sunk
into the bottom of the sea they have
not been placed in a furnace or other
wise destroyed so if those millions,
now grown into billions, are not CON
fiscated. as were the bonds and paper
issue of the Confederate States gov
eminent, there will be ample money
for the reconstruction and rehablita-
ton of devastated and ADMINISTRATION
Europe.
There will be so many dead, too,
whose places are to be filled. and
whose properties are to be inherited,
that revolution will follow in the re
adjustment Of conditions.
Many, especially of the richer and
better educated lasses-fearing the
outbreak of another war at any mo-
ment for the most trivial causes-will
seek an asylum in the United States.
So we shall expect the mightiest
flow of immigration to this country
that was ever known before, and the
south, with her resources only partly
developed, will appeal strongly for
her share of this new population.
These people, having experienced
the horrors of war, knowing the bane-
full effects of a compulsory military
training, will be in a position to CO.
operate with us in strengthening the
cords that will weld all sections of
our country together as with hooks of
triple steel, which will make our form
of government as a beacon light for
the chart and compass of the nations
of the earth.
The United States. like the Statue
of liberty" will hold aloft in her hands
a torch shat will "enlighten the
world
Writ in large and glittering letters
that will be the peaceful aftermath
of the holocaust now going on in Eu-
rope.

LASTING PEACE

The presidents speech before the
senate was a wonderful utterance. but
no League of Nations" can bring on
la permanent, lasting peace as long as
the Christian world presents the I'M
Christian spectacle of an armed en-.
campment.
If the Prince Of Peace" is to be
recognized as leader his followers
must not be arrayed in uniforms and
Iarmed with engines OF destruction.
As long as the Christian world. as
long as pulpit and pew, bow down and
worship the man in eppaulettes, wars
win never cease.
The war drums only will be muffled
when armies are disbanded and
.dreadnaughts and submarines are no
longer permitted to disturb the peace
of the high seas
We reap what we sow II we SOW
the wind we must expect to gather
the whirlwind.
If we manufacture the munitions Of
war and train men to naval and mill
tary service, we must be prepared to
reap the harvest of war
The formation of a League of Ma
lions is a step in the right direction.
but this league to accomplish the ends
in view must insist upon a disarma-
ment of the nations.
A lasting peace can be secured in
no other way under heaven.
A peace under any other terms is
AN hallucination of the mind; is as
fabulous as the baseless fabric Of a
dream
If we can dismantle the battleships
and disarm the nations and have
worldwide prohibition the world viii

las it is in heaven will obtain
and have full fruition

.NDIcTINc A GREAT INDUSTRY

Although Secretary Daniels story
Of navy shells during his administra-
tion is a simple little tale, it carries
az indictment as comprehensive as
any true bill ever returned by grand
jury.
With no competition among them
selves or abroad. American steel man
ufacturers in 1912 had gradually adj
vanced the price of 14-inch armor-
piercing projectiles to $500 each. In
1913, learning that Hadfelds of Eng.
land had made a bid, they cut their
proposal to 1915 each, with other siz-
es reduced in proportion. The latter
part of 1914, war in Europe having be-
gun and no foreignbids having been
received, they increased their prices
800. This year, still believing that
outside competition was impossible,
some of them made a price of $539.
Hadfields, however, appeared with a
bid nearly so per cent. below the low
est American offer and received the
contract.
AS the secretary well says, differ
