BIG MARKET FOR KISSES
Wall Street Lives Up to Reputation
as Market for Everything

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Wall street
strengthened Its record for providing a
market for everything yesterday. A
Limousine loaded to the mud guards with
chorus girls invaded the financial dis
trict at the noon hour selling tickets
for n benefit performance for the Hall
fax sufferers and urging contributions
to that cause.
The market for tickets was dull. but
when the girls offered TO sell kisses for
fifty cents apiece TO add money to the
fund the curb brokers fairly flooded the
visitors with applications. The kisses
were collected In full view of the
breathless crowd which had gathered
and evidently both parties TO the trans
actions were satisfied with the bargain
One dcmure little thing proposed to
the brokers who offered her flfty cents
for kiss that they could have a hug
too, for five cents extra, and that she
would consider the extra nickel as a
war tax.

LONDON, Dec. ~.
Germany's forthcoming west-front
drive is her first preliminary TO another
peace offensive.
She hopes TO achieve dent some
where on tho Franco-British line. She
wants to calm "invincibility" of her MILL
tary forces to the German people to
steel them to the overwhelming sacri-
fees which must come when America
throws her strength in the battle line.
She wants TO buck up" Austria Hungary

She wants to accelerate growth OF paci-

ment in Allied nations. Above all. she
wants tho war to end before Americas
millions of men and of war machines

This Is the view of observers here.
II is based on well-defined developments
OF recent weeks In Germany. The Kaiser
and his military chiefs can Ill afford to
sacrifice the thousands of soldiers who
must be thrown to slaughter in a west

credit for the strategy of the recent

many German troops participated there.
Russia has been definitely put out of
the war-more than counterbalancing

Through cleverly exerted but never

Weight Lacking Among Can
didates for High Schools
Five.
BY DON wAREEL

Speed promises to be the deciding
factor in High school basketball as
far as the Richmond five is concerned
during the coming season, judging
from the showing made by the squad
in Monday nights workout.
Although there is some probability
that Coach Mullins will put one Of the
heavier men on the varsity as for
wards. Monday nights work with Van
Allen and Robinson, both "fy-weights"
at forward showed the best form OF
any practice since the workouts began.
Simmons ct center has the height
and the speed. but without some sup
port by heavy forwards he will have
to bear the burden OF breaking down
opposing defense.
Guards Are HeIfty
Cramer, Shelton and Harding, at
guards. have plenty of weight but the
passing OF the guards has not shown
up favorably in the workouts, nor do
the men have the necessary spunk to
uphold the lack of weight at forward.
Talk OF placing one of the guard
men at forward, thereby balancing the
weight of the team has been made,
and there is some chance that Hawley
Gardner. a heavier but less expert
enced man, may be given a chance on
the first string squad
The team will continue to practice
three nights a week until two weeks
before the opening game, to be played
at the Coliseum against Winchester.
