Crescent Five
Defeats Lehigh
ByGoodMargiin

The Crescent Athletic Club basket
ball team defeated Lehigh University
on the Crescent court last night by
score of % to II. Lehigh held the
club players to the small lead of ii to
8 in the first half, but could not with
stand the rush of its rivals in the sec
ond period
The tall Lehigh players often inter-
cepted the passing of the Crescent men
and on frequent occasions frustrated
tho latter's efforts to cage field goals
when in the shadow of the basket. In
the second half the Crescent players
forced the pace at all times and, break
ing away from the close guarding of
their rivals, Gagged baskets with more
frequency.
Nicklas and Ashmead each accounted
for eight of the Crescent points, while
Donovan tailed nine for the Pcnnsyl-
vania five.

A wide field of service opens itself before the teacher to whom the chil- dren come dropping Sunday after Sunday. Some come from homes full of love and service, some from homes of poverty, and some, perhaps, from loveless homes.

 "They were we'll bred," When it was what they learned while

PRESIDENT CALLS GERMANY'S HAND

The text of the reply, addressed to
the Charge dAffaires of Switzerland
by whom the German note was de-
livered, follows:
Sir have the honor to acknol-
edge, on behalf of the President vour
note OF October 6, regarding a cons
munication from the German Govern
ment to the President; and am in
structed by the President to request
you to make the following communi-
cation to the Imperial German Chan
cellor:
Before making reply to the re-
quest of the Imperial German Gov
ernment, and in order that that reply
shall be as candid and straightforward
as the nomentous interests involved
require, the President of the United
States deems it necessary to assure
himself OF the exact meaning of the
note OF the Imperial Chancellor.
Does the Imperial Chancellor
mean that the Imperial German Gov
eminent accepts the terms laid down
by the President in his address TO the
Congress of the United States on the
9th OF January last, and in subsc-
quent addresses, and that its object
IN entering into discussions would be
only to agree on the practical details
of applications?
The President feels bound TO saw
with regard to the suggestion of an
armistice that he would not feel at
liberty to propose a cessation Of arms
to the Governments with which the
Government of the United States is
associated against the Central Pow
ers so long as the armies of those
powers are upon their soil The good
faith of any discussion would mani
testify depend upon the consent of the
Central Powers Immediately to with
draw their forces everywhere from
invaded territory.
:" The President also feels that he
is justified in asking whether the
Imperial Chancellor is speaking
merely for the constituted authorities
of the Empire who have so far con-
Quoted the war. He deems the ans
wers to these questions vital from
every point of view
Accept, sir, the renewed assurance
of my high consideration,
(Signed) Robert Lansing"

Charge D'Affaires of Switzerland,

Tobacco Warehouse
May Be Erected

At called meeting of the Board
OF Governors of the Chamber of Com
merce Monday night, Mr.. J. P. Ross,
OF Fenner & Ross, the well-known to-
bacco warehousemen of Rockymount,
N. e.. addressed the board on the i'm
portance of establishing a tobacco
market here and the value such an
institution would be to the community
as well as for the agricultural develop
ment OF the county. President Girl
ner OF the Chamber of Commerce pre-
sided, and a majority of the Board of
Governors as we'll as some other citi-
Gems interested in tobacco culture,
were present.
After full review of the possibili-
ties OF the tobacco business more than
~ per cent of the necessary funds
for warehouse were subscribed and
committee appointed to solicit sub
scriptions.
Messr5. Fenrer &, Ross propose to
rent the warehouse for period of
years and also to establish a perma-
nent tobacco curing and stemminp
plant here. Associated with them
are said to be some of the largest
manufacturers and exporters of to-
bacco and their locating here would
assure the employment of several
hundred people in the tobacco indus
try. The board of Governors will be-
gin to list farmers who will pledge
themselves to grow tobacco and free
seed will be furnished all who desire
to enter the tobacco business.

To Delinquent Bond
Buyers Of Ben Hill

Chairman ]. J. Dorminey wishes to
announce that upon completion of
the drive for the sale of the Fourth
Liberty Bonds, he will publish full
list of all of those citizens of Fitz-
gerald and Ben Hill county who have
refused to buy their allotment of
bonds.
The obligation of taking up our
quota of bonds, 1910, 10000, rests up
on all of the citizens of the county,
and in the proportion of their known
ability to invest. Should any fail it
will fall to the share of the more pa
triotic to assume their quota and this
in itself is unfair to them. Everyone
is expected to do his or her full share
and slackers will be stamped as such,
even though they have bought a
small amount of bonds.
