TRACK MAN OUT
"Red" Douglas, High Jumper,
May Be Out of Michigan
Meet Due to TonSiIitiS.

Notre Dame prospects for a
track victory over Michigan at Ann
Arbor Saturday night were given
another blow yesterday when it be-
came known that Red" Douglas,
sophomore high jumper, will be un-
able TO compete because of an at
tack of tonsilitis.
With Bergman and Douglas
both out of the meet. the Hoosier
team will be considerably weakened.
Bergman, il is said, has a slight
touch of typhoid fever at his home
in Peru and it may be that he will
also be kept out of the Wisconsin
meet here a week from Saturday
night.
Men Given Rest.
While Coach Rockne gave the
majority of his track men a layoff
from hard work yesterday. he put a
few through some fast PAGES. Prac-
tically all of the men will be given
a rest today, however. but the rub
bers will be hard at work tuning
the muscles of the athletes for the
clash with the Wolverines.
The Notre Dame squad will not
leave for Ann Arbor until Saturday
morning. Coach Rockne will an
nounce the list of men who will
make the trip today.
Basketball Men Loaf
Gold and blue basketball players
were given only a light workout
yesterday by Coach Harper and all
of the men will be given a complete
rest today as the Hoosier coach is
taking pains not to overwork his
athletes before the clash with the
Michigan Aggies here Saturday
night.
1t is still a matter OF conjecture
as TO whether Dick Daley will be
able TO play Saturday night. with
the chances seeming exceedingly
doubtful. Although Daleys injury
has been mending rapidly during
the past week he may not be in
shape TO perform against the pow
erful Michigan Aggie quintet, and
if ne does play he will not be in
good condition.
Expects Big Crowd.
Coach Harper is making plans to
handle another big crowd at the
Aggie game. Because of the fact
that the Lansing team is one of the
strongest in the west a big attend
ance will undoubtedly be recorded
Harper and his men are set upon
giving the NJ. A. 9. aggregation a
tough battle in this. the final home
game of the season. In fact, the
Hoosiers are out after a victory and
are hoping to take the Aggies into
camp.

ports that DR.. Deyine is TO be in charge
Of all relief work outside the city OF

In the various departments outside
the Seine there are some $50 600 ref
ugees embracing all classes and ages
except abIe-bodied men. Although en-
ployment at good wages is general.
these refugees are nevertheless in an
unfortunate condition because of the
complete loss Of their possessions
when driven out Of invaded territory
they have since been living iii excess
sively congested quarters and. neces-
sariIy, under very unsanjtary COnui-
tions
ssTh8 Red Cross hopes TO aid the au-

supplying furniture TO those who in
this way could move into better quar-
tiers, by completing buildings already
partly constructed and even by fur
nfshing portable houses of cheap con
atruction. when necessary, as a tenn
porary makeshift.
1T is proposed to establish I'll con

can be done in such a way as fully TO
conserve the self-respact and inde-
pendence Of those who accept il. There
are many voluntary agencies, as wei
as public relief authorities, through
whom the Red Cross can give assist

sDr. Devine.s immediate task will be
to coordinate those agencies and ar
range for constructive relief for those
victims Of the war who cannot yet be

it Is hoped that there viii be abundant
opportunity for them to be reestab-
lished IN the busy and fruitful regions
in which they lived before the war"

unsettled The attorneys argued all
Saturday morning until noon when

The attorneys for the state pre-

claimed it should be admitted and read

Attorney Dimes for the defense
based his argument of line Of cases

The reason for the advance BY the
farmers is not completely understood
at this time. as the pastures are IN
fairly good condition and there are in
dications that the corn crop viii be a
bumper one.
Retailers of milk say that the dealer
always is the one to suffer most heav-
iiv when the farmer advances the
wholesale cost. They say their revenue
is reduced because when advances are
made they increase the price to the
consumer the amount the wholesale
price is advanced Usually the in

A rush Of wind from an opening door

dining room. The two Morgans started
forward together. The sudden gust
sucked the flame of the nving-room
lamp up into the chimney and after q
brief, sharp struggle extinguished It,.
In the confusion it was moment be-

almost reached this when a murmur
unlike the sounds of the storm made
De Spain halt his companion.
"What is it?" she whispered. He
listened intently. Without speaking,
Le took Nan and retreated to the cor

Stand back here, Man,"
He put her behind the corner of the
house, threw his rifle to his shoulder,
and fired as nearly as he could in the
darkness toward and just above the
pine. Without an inStant's hesitation
pistol shot answered from the direc-

another moment a small fusillade fol-
