fourth OF, July last.
1T is as follows:
The destruction of every arbitrary
power anywhere that can separately,
secretly and of it's single choice dis
turb the peace of the world; or, if IL
cannot be presently destroyed, at leas.
its reduction to virtual impotency'
'The power which has hitherto con-
trolled the German nation is of the
soFehe described. It is within> the
choice Of the German nation to alter
1t. The presidents words just quoted
naturally constitute condition to
peace, if peace is to come by the ac-
ton of the German people themselves.
The president feels bound to say that
the whole process of peace will, in his
judgment, depend upon the definite
ness and the satisfactory charac-
ter of the guarantee which
can be given in this funda-
mental matter. 1t is Indispensable
that the governments associated
against Germany should know beyond
a peradventure with whom they are |
dealing.

government of Austria Hungary.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur- |

Fearless Five Trims WiAiInantc Girls
The CirIs While OutcIassed Showed Good Form-Miss Atchson Was the Star of the Game-Egh Scores Rolled in Palace League.
] .trr.. l.,.a....A.stfANn ll l

The famous Johnson Girl.s bowling five of Willimantic suffered bitter de- feat at the hands of the undefeated Fearless Five of this city at the Act na Bowling alleys Thursday evening. The boys were all doiled up as if they were going to a wedding, but they had no heart and took three straight games from their fair opponents It SC ems as if the most gentlemanly thing to have done. would have been to let the young ladies at least won one game.
 The young ladies certainly have star team and deserve a great deal of credit for their good sportsmanship. Miss Atchison was the star of the game, capturing high single and high total. Miss Atchison should have had much better score only in the pinches she gave way to nervousness and lost many spares.
 For the young men, Beau Brummel, alias Pete McKeNey. was the shining light, taking, high total with BPS and Barry was also in the limelight with his high single of 1S3 Little Georgie Bolton and Big Mack were out of form, whether it was an attack of bashfulness or not cannot be deter mined, but they blushed rather often. Capt. Hoyt rolled in good form in the first two strings but his third looked as if he favored the, fair sex pretty strongly. The scores:

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BROAD
Inquiry for Rails overshadowed All
 Other Features.

New York, Jan. 31.-Well defined causes contributed to the unusual &C., tivity, breadth and strength of today's stock market, chief among which was the stirring message of President Will son to the western farmers confer ence.
 Other patent developments included the cumulative signs of serious dis tEr5ances within the Central Empires and an advance in inter- mountain freight rates, coupled with the report committee to recommend restoration of the railroads to shareholders year after the war
 Stocks were strong at the opening, but the market did not get into it's stride until midday, when the inquiry for rails overshadowed all other fea- lures. Industrials next came forward, United States Steel leading with al- lied equipments, including the favor ite war issues
 Prices were at highest levels in the :feverishly active final hour, operations being enlivened by sensational ad- lvances in several high priced special ties, notably General Motors, which recorded an extreme gain of 15 points at 139 1-2, General Electric. which rose 3-S points to 40 and Texac Company at a gross advance of 1-2 points.
 United States Steel was confidently absorbed in single lots of 1000 to A. 900 shares, closing at 97 7-S, the slightest fraction under it's best and net gain of 5-S Pacifics, coalers and minor western and southwestern issues featured the rails at gross gains of to 5 points. Sales aggregated 965,000 shares.
 Bonds were active but irregular. in ternationals hardening perceptibly, while Liberty issues were heavy to weak. The 3 1-2's made a new mini mum at 97.20. likewise the second 4s at S5.7S, both rallying substantially later. The first 4's sold between 96.6O and 96.50. Total bond sales, par value, amounted to $S,375, 900.
 Old United States issues were Is to 3-4 per cent. higher on call

BY PETER P. CARNEY

Editor National Sports Syndicate
 How to keep each day alive with some item of interest, recreation or sport is question of the greatest concern at all resorts and resting places.
 No time or effort has been spared in making preparations, for golf, yachting and sightseeing, and now at tention is directed toward establish ing other forms of recreation on a permanent basis.
 There is no better index to the eVer-increasing popularity and i'm portance of trapshcoting as a resort pastime of national interest than is shown by the growth of the Midwin- ter Handicap, held at PinehurSt CN. O each January.
 Eleven years ago, when c. W. Bill ings took the first trophy from under | the guns of George C.. McCarty and George l.. Lyon, the Pinehurst Gun Club was a diminutive organization with a little shanty for a club house. This was considered ample for a1l possible needs, even though it provid- | ed for the wants of but thirty shoot one supposed would ever be required. Time Has Told the Story. A small corner subjacent to the sta ton and farm no longer holds this leading sport of the famous resort The game has graduated from the in- fant class and taken it's place in the l schedule of events in the same class with the enormous golfing activity
 and the jockey club.
 The shooting club has become an institution, with acres of ground for parking space; roadways; arena; in- structors in shotgun, rife and pistol
 shooting and a house built to acom- l modate not thirty but 200 shooters. The club house is picturesque rus
 tic cabin 110 feet long and 45 feet
 wide, built of native logs, with three
 great f1replaces, gun and lounging
 rooms, lavatories and office.
 | A most important innovation is ] quarters for ladies. An entire wing is
 devoted exclusively to Annie Oakley's pupils, and to the increasing numbers
 of women entering the annual big
 shoots or participating occasionally in l the sport
 The club house is furnished with all the luxury of other clubs-easy chairs
 divans, rugs and curtains-and decor | ated with the records of past shoots
 and with photographs of the famous
 shots of America who have had their
 turns at the Pinehurst traps. Five Traps in Use. The ont set of traps has given place
 to five. And even this number is like
 ly to be found inadequate before many years are past. Last year 176 of the leading guns in America toed ths
 mark at the firing line. With the
 club and grounds all finished, and the
 sport now come into its own, there is no telling how many win be there
 shooting in the tournaments in the 1 years to come <: .,s ] The Plnehurst shoot is the open.

MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS MAY
 HINDER TRAINING TRIPS
Ball Players Are Instructed To Do Light Gym Work in Case Trips Are Omitted.

Word is being passed to ball play CTS to do light gymnasium work in case spring training trips are aban- doned this year. The south is expect ing a late spring. Bad southern wealth CT is, worse for ball club than not going south at all.
 Unfavorable railroad conditions too, may force the big league clubs to abandon their spring training trips. The warning 70 the players to get into physical condition at home is the first one ever sounded.
 Baseball men have received private advices that by the middle of March when the players are planning to go south, the movenient of troops and supplies will be so great the regular passenger traffic will be in much worse shape than it is now.
 Ball players as a rule take it easy during the winter months and when they report at the spring training camps the trainer has to spend much of his time in working off all the ex- cess poundage which has been &C., cumulated during the winter.
 While many ball players take ex- ercise during the winter by playing basketball, this practice has been frowned upon by the managers be- cause of the risk of injury. What the manager suggests now is handbaH, daily jaunts over the roads, dumbbell and Indian club exercises and general gymnasium work wherever it is pos sible.
 Many ball players spend most of their off time hunting and they are usually in good shape when spring comes around. It is the players who spend the winter months in the city that the managers are advising to start training as soon as possible. The southern states have never known such cold weather as they have had during the last few weeks and there is no more indication of a letup than there is here in the north In every part of the south where baseball clubs have training camps the weather this winter has already approached the zero mark Few clubs cover their expenses on the spring training trips. Of late years 1t has been necessary to arrange barn. storming trips of exhibition games be- tween clubs of the two leagues to furnish an attraction in a southern l city. Many club owners would well
 come chance to save the early ! training expense during the war al least.

WEEGHMAN HAS OTHER
 BIG DEALS IN VIEW Is Opinion of Friends Who Think He
 May Be in St. Louis.

President Weeghman of the Cubs may be in St. Louis. although the re- port is that he has gone to Omaha, Neb., to talk to Grover Alexander about the bonus money he demands, and also to ascertain what the chances are of his being taken in the draft this year. He may have gone there, but friends have their doubts
 They say he is planning another trade coup. For the last three weeks the Cubs have been quiet unusually so, about getting new players. Presi- dent Weeghman and his secretary, Walter Craighead, have been busy. The Hornsby deal was allowed to drop out of sight after Branch Hickey was supposed to have turned down Weegh- mans offer, but an opening still re- mained, and it would not be at all surprising if the Cub executive was found in St. Louis. 5.
 If Weeghman desired to learn about Alexander's status in the draft and how he felt about the bonus due him, it is believed he would have had the pitcher come to Chicago instead of leaving his business in Chicago to. so west.

Although the wild life of North America ia more abundant than that of the other continents of the northern hemisphere and has only Africa as world rival, yet our present-day rich ness in this respect is decidedly poor, compared with the abundance and variety of mammalian life that roam ed our plains before the advent of the white man, while the vast number of species which disappeared even Sefore the Indians came to inhabit the land is even more astoniehing.
 Such are the facts brought out in a communication to the National Geo. graphic Society by F. W. Nelson, chief Of the United States Biological Sur vey, which also gives an amazing &C., count of North American wild lSe in prehistoric times. A portion O. tiie communication made pubic iS aS fcl- lows:
 'The original buffalo herds have been estimated to have contained from 30,000,000 to ee,0oQ,5hn animals tthe latter figure is 6,0G0.0o greater than the total number of cattle in the United States, according to the cen sus of i291), and in 1Sje it was esti- mated that about 5, 5,5S0.6c0 still sur viVed--exceeding by 1saeG,09U the num- Der of mules in the United States in 1910.
 "A number of men how living were privileged to sec some of tho great herds of the West before they were finally destroyed.
 "Dr. George Blvd Grinoe1. VII ces:
 Tn 1870 I happened to be on a train that was stopped fer three hours to let herd Of buffalo pass. We sup posed theg would soon pass by, but they kept on coming. On number of occaaions in earlier days the engineers thought tat they could run through the herds and that, seeing the loco motive, the buffalo would stop to turn aside, but after a few locomotives had been ditched by the animals the en- gtneers got in the way of respecting the buffaloes' idiosyncrasies'
 Astonishing as was the number of buffalo which roamed the plains of old, even more numerous werS the ante lope, though the latter did not attract as much attention as the larger mam- mals. Besides these, the chroniclers of the colonial days give many inter esting accounts of the incredible num- Der of other wild animals, including beans, wapiti, white tailed deer and turkeys, on which the wolves made fierce war. One writer narrates that during the winter of 1670-71 fully 2,40O moose were snared on the Great Man itoulin Island, at the head of Lake Huron.
 -The wealth of animal life found by our forbears was one of the great natural resources of the new world, Although freely drawn upon from the nrst, the stock was but little depleted up to within a century. During the last 100 years, however, the rapidly increasing occupation of the continent and other causes, together with a steadier increasing commercial de- mand for animal products, have had an appalling effect. The buffalo, elk and antelope are reduced to a pitiful fraction of their former countless numbers.
 Practically all other large game has alarmingly decreased, and it's ex- termination has been partly staved only by the recent enforcement of pro tect1ve laws"
