This interview probably had n
double purpose: that Of encouraging
to bear upon tho adversary by tho usual
German bluff. What is outstanding in
the declarations Of the couple of gen
erals swollen with pride and childish
vanity, is that tho German government
is more than ever before in the hands
oe the military caste. brutal, narrow
and insolent.
Discussing the events in the east
1iindenburg declared: The chain which
was TO bind us is from henceforth
broken. We can now employ all our
forces in the west. IT is. absolutely
necessary for US to procure security on
our frontiers, so that we shall not see
repeated the lancntable events which
marked the beginning of the autumn

'It is to be noted that German
opinion does not realize the exact cx-
tent OF the success obtained in the east
because the people are looking to-day
towards the west. HindenburE said.

10 that purpose, even agreeing that

In view OF the continued pressure upon

mystifed at the sudden change in the
situation. and began to speculate upon
what arrangements Holland might have
made with Berlin.
1t was stated in official quarters that

'Ludendorfi added that il was OF in

THIRTY SIXTH IN SERIES OF
 SUNDAY MORNING BREAKFASTS

For the thilEy sixth consecutive Sunday morning the local Young Mems Christian Association served home cooked breakfast to the men in uniform yesterday morning, and the usual genuine appreciation was shown by them. As usual, women of the Auxiliary assisted by several young ladies served the boys.
 A brief and interesting talk was given by President James L. Case, and the fellows were deeply interested. Mir. Case said in part: T was privi- loged to attend an important meeting Of the three minute speakers of the state recently and as I saw the hun dreds of busy business men I thought that just as you brave fellows have left your business to serve your coun- try. so these men had given great deal of time from their business to make brief addresses which reached probably millions of people, in order to develop and maintain the backing that you men here and over there in the service needed, that the results might be the splendid victory that has been achieved. In that meeting there were four speakers; one was a British naval officer, and he told If the won derful work of the navy of which he was an officer: his story was most thrilling. Another speaker was a fine old French army officer and as he told us of the part France had played 1 in the great struggle. our hearts were strangely warmed to dear old France, and we were glad to have been an ally of such brave people. A Canadian was the next speaker, and it was a revelation to us to learn of the great sacrifices of our near neighbors; ac- cording to the records of the war Can ada gave larger proportion of her sons than any other country. The i Italian speaker impressed us that his country had many obstacles to over come, but that their fighting force proved equal to the task, and we know that Italy measured fully up to her responsibility. In closing his remarks the Canadian said this: England di6
 not win the war; France did not vii
 the war: America did not win the
 war: all of the allies did heroic ser vice, but Almighty God won the wal and to Him belongs all the credit. Al
 this glad Christmas time, we are re-
 minded of the great Christ of Got
 whose whole fife was one of servic. and sacrifice. and our hearts go ou to Him, and if we are to be the ner
 we should be He must be our ideal The men cheered the speaker, tht ladies, and the Y. M. C. A., and ther,
 were many expressions of appreciation
 on the part of the men in uniform.

 It was in 1883, at Iwerne, Dorset shire county, England, that the foun- dation was laid for a structure that should unite Waste and Want-The Needlework Guild of America.
 The founder, Lady Wolverton, was deeply interested in an orphan asylum and conceived the idea, of having the wardrobe of the institution abund- antly cared for by asking friends each to contribute two new articles a year of wearing apparel or household linen, laying stress on the fact that they must be new.
 In 1885, an American, Mrs. Alanson Hartpence, travelling in England. learned of this charity, and brought the idea home to Philadelphia. Her niece, the founder of the American organization, Mrs. John Wood Stew art, interested a few young women of | her acquaintance, and from that little band the work has grown until now | it has come to be a mighty national organization, counting in 1917 over $50, 900 members in the United States, with offshoots in Canada and Scot land, and strong brancffes in Paris.

NO PLACE FOR ROWING. Jim Rice Has This to Say Concern
 ina the Hudson.

Jim Rice, the rowing coach, was talking Of the Hudson river as a place upon which to develop oarsmen the other day, and as all who know him are aware his language is not unpicturesque.
 "The Hudson at Edgewater is one of the finest places-for ocean liners that I ever sailed on. Of course it was all right on nice, calm day when we had a calm day. I've seen more teeth in turkey than calm days some springs. But when it was calm it was fine-until the Albany boats came along; then you should SC that river pucker up. Put the Columbia crew overheard in mid ocean in a shell and they'd beat the world; that goes for any crew l ever coached at Edgewater. But on Lake Carnegie or the Severn, by George, they'd be apt to turn seasick, because it was so smooth; either that or they'd go to sleep; think they went to sleep in the first mile last year
 'fBut wherever I coach in the fu- ture you'll see me craining my neck keeping a neye open for that darn Albany boat"

SPORTING NOTES.

With the major league season run ming from May 1 to September 30 salaries of ball players will be re- duced to a five month basis.
 Twenty six pitchers have been rounded up by the New York Ameri- cans. A club that needs such an army of boxmen must be weak in other directions.
 Miller Higgins says a ball club is as strong as it's pitching staff. That may be, but past performances show that a club to win must be stronger than the other teams pitching staff. There seems to be some doubt about the weight of Jimmy Wilde, the fly weight boxing champion. Probably the scales could help settle this grave question.
 Think of the publication there will be when cry" Cobb announces that he has reconsidered his desicion to quit baseball! The return of Cobb to the game will fit well some dry day.

R. |. Murray Awarded Nat. Tennis Singles

Hayes, Chicago; and N. W. Niles, Boston. Ichyia Ku-. magae the Japanese expert, leads class 4. and following the name of the Oriental racquet wielder, comes those of more than one hundred others bracketed in various divisions up to class 19.
 The placing of Murray in first place, class 1, closes a controversy of sev- eral months standing as to whether Murray or Tilden would receive pre- mier honors in this respect.

 Among the doubles teams Tilden and Vincent Richards of New York are placed in Class together with F. B. Alexander and B. c. Wright while N. W. Niles and P. R. Pell hold class ?. Miss Molla Bjurstedt of New York. the Norwegian player. leads the wo

QUAKER HILL MILL
 PROPERTY ~SALE NEGOTIATED

I
 Negotiations between Attorney liar ry B. Agard of Westerly and Mrs. Lillian Robertson and Mrs. Mary Woodwork for the purchase by MT. Agard of the Woodworth paper mill property at Quaker Hill have been concluded. It is intimated that in ac- qIiring the property in his name At torney Agard is acting for other per sons and there is a well defined ru- nor to the effect that New London men are interested in the purchase of this valuable water privilege.
 The property includes the paper mill and machinery of same and what $ considered as more important the large body of water known as Millers pond with all llowage rights from same. The total area of land, which Includes the pond, is placed somewhat tn excess of 100 acres.
 The value of the property is said to lie chiefly in the great water privi- .eEe. 9S acres of surface being cov- cred by the body of fresh wsxer known as Millers pond. Just how many mil tons of gallons of water. is stored in u1is pond is generally not known, but some who are said to be more fully Informed are credited with stating there is sufficient water to supply the needs of city of 100000 population.
 About 15 years ago, Miller's pond was considered as an auxiliary reser- voir. At that time the price asked by the owners for the property was about Sli5 coo but this was considered too high for the city 10 pay.
