To Harass Austria Further.

The exact military objective of the
Albanian campaign has not been made
wholly clear. But its diplomatic
rather than its military importance
now Is recognized as being Of possible
high value to the allies. The imme-
diate purpose is to bring pressure to
bear upon the war-weary Bulgarian
and Turkish forces. and a more re-
mote purpose is further to harass
Austria. The effect 1t has had al
ready upon the disaffected subjects
Of Austria Hungary in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, toward which the drive
is headed, has been appreciable.
Some allied officials here have ex-
pressed the opinion that the way is
being paved for a winter campaign.
If tho Italians could undertake winter
operations in the Alps the terrain in
the Albanian region would be much
more favorable. Weather conditions
are much better there for winter op-
erations than on tho western front.
Activity during the winter would be a
further menace to Austria, and also
might cause Germany to send rein
foroements and thus weaken her prep
arations for the opening of the cam
paign next spring.

Stirred by Allies Successes.

Reports reaching Washington from
official sources indicate that the sue
cesses attained by the allied troops
already have increased the activity of
the Jugo-Slavs in southern Austria,
who, with the Cxecho- o-Slovaks and
Poles. have proved thorns In the side
OF tho dual monarchy throughout the
war. -
In the opinion of those officials who
have made a study OF the situation. a
military drive that could bring the
allied armies In Albania into contact
only to an open revolt there. but also
by the disaffected peoples in other
parts Of tho dual monarchy.
At the outbreak of the war the
Jugo-Slavs in southern Austria and
Hungary numbered more than 6,000,-
900, while the Csecho-Slavs and Poles
in the northern part of the dual mon
archy numbered mora than 100000
Tho unrest among those peoples has
been growing and at places has led to
open revolt
Determined Upon Freedom.
The oppressed peoples are deter
mined upon freedom. in the official
opinion here. Thousands OF Jugo-
armies. are fighting with the Italians
against their ancient enemies, while
some 10000 Czecho-Slavs. who either
deserted to the Russians or were cap
tured. are heading through Siberia TO
against the Tsutons.
Whether there is q serious intention
of attempting to effect q juncture be-
tween tho allied armies in Albania
is not known hero, but because Of the
great distance separating tho two
forces. 1t is not believed to be prob
able.
In some quarters, however. It II re-
garded as possible that once the
Franco-Ita1ians actually reached the
southern border Of Austria, an effort
at . junoture might be attempted.
Both the force from Albania and that
by people hostile to the gov
ernment and army Of the invaded
country, thus increasing the Difficult
ties Of the defense.

to the Allies;
WINTER CAMPAIGN PLANS

Although operations in Albania have
been overshadowed by the critical drive
on tho western front, military experts
both here and abroad regard the activi-
ties between the Adriatic and the
Aegean seas as potential factor Of i'm
portance to the allied cause.
Fighting in ehis region promises an
outlet for the rejuvenated Greek army.
now numbering about 100000, Of whom
about 10000 are believed to be equip
ped for battle. With the passing of the
Jannina incident, during which the 90
cupation Of Jannina by Italians was re-
sented by tho Greeks. but later an
agreement was reached by which the
Italians were withdrawn. Greece and
Italy are in complete accord. An agree
ment has been reached. though the
terms have not been made public, by
which Greek interests in Albania and In
the entire Balkan region are to be pro-
more and more a factor In the allied
cause.
The Salonikl army of British and
French forces still Is supposed to
number about 100000. and at one time
there were 100000 Italians there,
withdrawn before the recent Austrian
drive upon Italy. Many British lead
ers have urged that this large force
was useless, was stationed at Q point
which subjected 1t to attack, and
urged its withdrawal and employ
ment on the western front. But the
Albanian offensive gives the Saloniki
army an outlet, and 1t may be used
effectively before the summer has
passed.

PITTSBURGH HAD
A NIFTY TEAM
Gridiron Artists of Western
University Had Good
Season This Year

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE foot
ball season of 1918 is history now, ana
Ii will be remembered in Pennsylvania
especially as a one-month season. AL
though the campaign was the shortest
in the history of football. the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh was able to de-
velop a team under Coach Glenn S.
Warner that compared favorably with
the elevens of the past four or i've
years at any of the larger institu-
tions of learning.
From some comments by eastern
writer's, one might infer that Pitts
inability to accept every challenge or
game proposed is indicative Of de-
sire to avoid hard games. This inti-
nation is an injustice to Pitt. One
eastern writer asks the question:
Did you ever hear of Pitt wanting 10
meet Yale. Harvard or Princeton?"
Pitt has not been able to secure a
place on the schedule of any member
of the big Three" but through nc
fault OF her n, for she has asked
for games q. .. in each instance was
contests made it impossible to meet
the Panthers.
With the outlook somewhat dark
for next season, the University OF
Pittsburgh is again ready to try 10
secure q place on the schedule of Yale
Harvard or Princeton. Eight regulars
and six first-string substitutes will he
lost from the university team Of 1915
by graduation.
The eight regulars are Captain Nc
Laren, the greatest fullback Pitt ever
had and one of the best any college
ever produced; Easterday and Goug-
ler, stars in the backfeld, and Stahl
Allshouse, Harrington, McCarter Rnc
Hilty in the line, These players were
enrolled in the various professional
schools of the university and re-
mained in college in the reserve
branches of the service and the Stu
dents Army Training Corps.
All of them wanted to see active
service ard endeavored to enlist in
various branches of the service, but
were ordered by Uncle Sam to remain
in school.
Pitt will attempt to arrange us hard
a schedule as ever. and fair-minded
critics will admit that usually the ma
1orlty of games on a Pittsburgh pro-
gram are hard contests. so much 81
that it is a rather difficult task for the
coach to point" the team for n clt-
max.
For instance, this years schedule, as
originally arranged, contained games
with such rivals as the University Of
West Virginia, Lehigh UnlveI 3ity,
Syracuse University. University Of
Pennsylvania, Washington and Jeffer-
son College. Carnegie Institute OF
Technology and Pennsylvania State.

Real, Live, Royal Prince Sees
British Athletes Beat Americans

London dispatches to-day say that
King George did not ogle the great
inter-allied boxing matches at ALI
bert Hall, Friday, and thus missed

the United States Navy, defeat
Jimmy Wild, the English champ, on
points. British fans hissed the ref
eree's decision, but the English
should have been satisfied for their
Army was given Il total of SO points.
Uncle Sans sailors took 80 points
and our Army men 80 points. Prince
Albert represented the King who
had a bad cold, just like any COM

The Yanks were new to the sur
roundings and Prince Albert COM
mented on our forces who, with
perfect cooperation and good will,
adopted our boxing rules, to which
they were not accustomed"
Mike O'Dowd, American Army, of
St. Paul, and the worlds champion

three bouts in which he was engaged.
First he defeated Harold Ralph, of
Canada, and in the semifinals ac-
counted for Sergeant Major Dick

finals O'Dowd beat Sergeant Ring,
of the British Army.

over his excellent work was handed
me as he started in pursuit of his
wounded duck, which had made a
long fall. he then started racing
through the shallow water. His
duck, having made an estimate of
surroundings, submerged with the
top of it's head showing above water
and swimming directly for the OPP
posite shore. 1 was watching from
distance the marathon race.
George soon stepped in a strata of
quicksand on the brink of n deep
channel, but few feeble efforts to
stand were made when he plunged
forward, taking a header into the
cold water. No Yellowstone geyser
had anything on Maxwell when he
came to the surface, his gun in the
interim having been held in mid
air. Again on his feet, water gush-
ing from his waders, he commenced
| looking for the cause of his down
fall. The wounded duck was rapidly
making it's escape, swimming low
and heading for deep water. Wad-
ing precautions were thrown to the
four winds. This crippled duck was
the cause of his premature bath.
| Vengeance was his slogan and wad-
I ing speed his great desire. He
/ looked like n powerboat splitting the
water, stopping to shoot every time
| the duck put its head ups attempted
to breathe or get its hearings. He
would also address remarks and ap-
ply an assortment of names to the
duck that 1 have been unable to To-
| cate in the dictionary. A stray pei
| let of shot finally located the ducks
brainpan, his wings spread upon the
water, a convulsive shudder and the
race was over. Maxwell came to my
blind. 1t was no time for mirth.
Glad you got him, George" was my
salutation. Would have followed
him into perdition," was his answer.
Our ride home was without CONVEX
sation, hilarity or kidding. This is
the story; 1 am prepared to accept
consequences.

MUCH GAME TO
BE RELEASED
State Game Officials Are Pre-
pairing For a Big Distri-
button Next Spring

Plans for what it is hoped will be
the most extensive project ever un-
dertaken by the State Game Com
mission authorities to increase the
game for Pennsylvania sportsmen
have just been worked out here and
between now and next summer thou
sands of birds will be turned loose
in the state game preserves and in
woodland country adapted for pro-
pagation. The idea of extending the
game preserves, which has been
urged by President Charles B. Pen
rose, of the State Game Commission,
as the best method, will also be
helped along and with necessary leg
islation, thousands of additional
acres will be added to the CLOSED
woods" where game is raised to
scatter through the forests and the
fields. In addition word has come
of extensive projects to be under
quail, while the grouse will be care
fully guarded and if the winter is
bad, will be fed.
The State Game Commission has
contracted for $50 white tailed deer
which will be shipped in after the
first of the year. They are now be-
ing rounded up in other states. Con-
tracts have also been placed for g.
600 ring-necked pheasants and for
thousands of settings of eggs to be
sent to sportsmen who will see that
the birds are Matched and turned
loose when old enough.
The biggest part of the scheme is
for 1900 mature quail, which will
come from Mexican highlands when
weather and food conditions are
right. There will also be some quail
bought privately and distributed. A
number of wild turkeys will be
bought in southern states and if any
grouse are to be had they will be
secured.
DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, the game
commission secretary, has come
right out against being forced to pay
a dollar head for rabbits for breed
ing purposes. He is in the market
for 1000 at reasonable figure"

BASEBALL TO BE
"QUEEN OF THE
MAY" THIS YEAR
All Leagues, Major and Minor,
Decide to Start on
That Date

Minneapolis, Dec. IA schedule of
154 games for the American Associa-
ton this season was agreed upon at
the meeting of club owners tonight.
The season will start May 1 and end
late in September. A committee to
draw up a schedule will be appointed
later. \
The major leagues do not contem-
plate any such long schedule. but will
very likely cut theirs down TO 40
games, beginning the same date.
May !.
President Ban Johnson. of the
American League, says that the club
owners of his organization voted
practically unanimously in favor OK
the short season at their annual meet
ing in Chicago.
Il hope the National League will
agree to our suggestion. 1t will al
low us to do away with the evil Of
playing double-headers and win re-
suit in a great financial saving. Both
leagues lost heavily in former years
when schedules of 154 games We're
played because so many postpone
ments were necessary in the early
spring"
The action of the American League
in reducing the player limit from
twenty-five to twenty-one men will go
into effect. as it will not be necessary
to obtain the cooperation OF the Ma
tional League to enforce the rule, .-'
At New York, John Heydler. new
president of the National League, also
conceded that their games would start
May /, so 1t will be an eventful day.
Heydler commented;
THE coming season will give US an
excellent opportunity to try out a
number of suggested innovations and
il it is decided to start the major
league season about May 1, additional
time will be available for reconstruct
tion work. A shorter schedule than
has been customary in recent years
fits in well with plans that we have
under consideration.
THE proposal to retain the present
three-man National Commission, hov-
ever, is not certain to meet with .he
same hearty cooperation among our
club owners. The National League.
like the American. holds Mr. Herr
mann in the highest esteem, nut at
the same time will favor a one-man
commission.
I'VE have no candidate in mind. jut
such a man must be conversant with
baseball procedure from every angle
and in no way Connected with baseball
business or financial interests. The
National Leagpe in taking this stand
is in no way hostile to Mr.. Hermann.
but is opposed to a continuation of
the present system"
