a good turn in the cage and is good
enough for any high school team in

Prior to the contest Friday night
the players will elect a leader for

only q years old now. Houck and

took the count for six in the fourth
round, after he had been kidded into
dropping his guard. The battler
fioored him with a right to the jaw.
Houck looked good in the first

powers by coming back strong in
the sixth, but he never got within

did him no damage.

TEUTON WASHES
HANDS OF RUSS
FATE In PEACE
Bernstorff Says Kaiser Is Not
Responsible For Policy
of Germany
BY associated Press

Paris, Dec. 26.-"An the bellig-
erents have accepted President Will
sons fourteen points and the only
question to be discussed is their in
depreciation" said Count Won Bern
storff, former German Ambassador
to the United States, in giving his
opinion of what Germany's attitude
would be at the peace conference,
according to the Geneva correspond
ent of the Matin.
Germany" declared. the count,
will keep to the Presidents pro-
gram, which grants each people of
an clinical group the right to dis
pose of itself"
Asked IL he thought the Presidents
program would furnish the basis for
a lasting peace. Count Won Bern
storff shrugged his shoulders.
This is the only one which can
be proposed at present." he added.
"and the attempt must be made to
arply it. At any rate we shall sup
port it,"
When he was asked by the corre-
spondent what attitude Germany
would adopt toward the east, he re-
piled: :.
"All the questions concerning the
new states which have sprung up on
the Russian frontier are the affairs
of the Allies. Let them disentangle
things as best they can. We wash
our hands of Russia. We are content
to safeguard as far as possible the in
tegrity of our territory, consulting
at the same time the will of the
populations"
Asked about the White Book which
Carl Kautsky IS said to be preparing
in Berlin, Count Won Bernstorff said:
Il don't think the book will reveal
the individual responsibilities of the
persons who directed Germany IN
1914. 1t will rather show the collec-
tive faults of the regime.
