JOSEPH BOYLE DECORATED BY
 RUMAN|AN KING
Colonel Joseph Boyle, of Yukon Machine Gun Contingent, Ia
 Popular Hero.

PARIS.-According to reports brought by travellers reaching this city today, Colonel Boyle, who re- cruited a machine gun contingent in the Yukon Territory for service at the front, has been awarded the higest decoration in the gift of the king of Rumania.
 It appears that, some time ago, certain Rumanian officials were in danger of being captured and sent into exile, with a big chance of being put to death, by the Bolshe- wiki element, and Colonel Boyle was instrumental in preventing their capture.
 The decoration was conferred on Colonel Boyle by the king of Ru- mania in recognition of the signal services rendered the country by his action in saving the Rumanian officials. .-:

GERMANS PROTEST
 AGAINST FURTHER
 GRAIN SHIPMENTS
Further Grain Shipments to Austria Must Be Stopped, Says Deputy
 Metzinger.

AMSTERDAM to re- ports received in this city today, Deputy Metzinger made statement in the German reichstag in which he said that the people of Germany enter a protest against any further shipments of grain into Autsria.
 In supporting Deputy Metzinger, Deputy Wills declared that further reduction of the rations now allowed to the German people would be un- bearable. Many of the people, he said, were ignorant of the real con- ditions existing among the masses. The list of the unemployed was daily increasing and the wages paid to workmen in Berlin was insuffi- cient to procure the necessary food. He wound up his remarks with the statement that the termination of the war would be of greater econo- mic value than the conquest of provinces.

WORK ON D LINE
 MOVING RAPIDLY
Bridge Across Fish Creek Is Now Being Decked, and Trains Will Go Over Tomorrow.

Rapid progress has been made with the building of the bridge across Fish creek and the work of decking the structure is now in progress. It is expected that it will be all ready and that work trains will be able to cross over to- morrow.
 The first piles for this bridge were driven when the gang with Piledriver No. 4 went on shift on the night of Saturday. No time is being lost on this line at all, and for the purpose of expediiiag the work of tracklaying, a part of camp 16 (tracklaying) was moved up to Fish creek last night ana the rest of the camp moved to the new io- cation today. The new location ;s right at Fish creek, alongside of the track.
 It is expected that the work of laying track will be pushed vigor- ously beyond Fish creek southwacds until Julius creek, where the next bridge will have to be built, nas been reached. Julius creek is a little over four miles from Fish creek and it is entirely probable that the bridge across this stream will be driven just as soon as the steel reaches it's northern hank.

BRITISH SOLDIER
 IN BAD POSITION
investigation Is Made of the Pecu.
 liar Actions of . British
 Soldier. .-. ..<

LONDON.-The trial of Private Joseph Bowling, of one of the Brit ish regiments, was opened here to- day.
 Private Bowling was caught in the act of landing on the Murman coast in a German collapsible boat, such as is in use on their submarines.
 It is thought that the trial of Private Bowling on the serious charge of melting rebellion will dis close some facts regarding the oper- ations of the enemy submarines in the waters adjacent to the Murman coast. Bowling, it is thought, has been, for some time, in league with the enemy and has definite know ledge of the movements of the Ger man under-sea boats in the neigh borhood of the Murman coast and the location of their bases.

SIBERIAN TROOPS
 DESIRE ID FIGHT ON WEST FRONT
Czecho Slovak National Council Offer Troops For Use Against
 the Germans.

LONDON.-The Czecho Slovak National Council, which was re- gently formed at Vladivostock for the purpose of carrying on the af- fairs of the new Siberian govern ment, has presented a memorandum to all the Allied ambassadors at Tokio and to the Japanese foreign minister.
 The memorandum sets forth the position of the Siberian government and their attitude in the war and states that the troops of the new government desire to fight on the side of the Allies on the Western front.
 They do not, however, desire to be mixed up in any way in Russian international affairs.
 It is not known at the present time, how the memorandum was re- ceived by the Japanese government and the other government repre- sented by the ambassadors getting the memorandum.
 The new Siberian government, which has the unanimous support of the entire population, appears to be firmly established with Vladivostock as the capital and seat of the gov ernment. The program outlined in- cludes the liberation of Siberia from the Bolsheviki rule, avoidance of in- terventions, universal suffrage. the establishment of provisional councils and labor bureau, and the dis tribution of land among those who do not. own any land. The flag adopted by the country consists o1 two stripes of white and green.

UNCLE SAM HAS
 NOT YET SOLVED SLAV PROBLEM
Owing to Rapid Changes in Russian Affairs Our Attitude Has Not
 Been Decided Yet.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-An au- thoritative statement issued today by the officials in charge of the situation says that our government finds it difficult, at the present time to arrive at a definite decision as to what military aid would be ex- tended to Russia.
 The rapid changes in the Rus sian situation does not permit of a decision being arrived at, and be- sides, it is of the utmost importance that nothing must detract from the strength of the forces to be main- tained in France and Belgium.

SUMMARY

Associated Press Summary.-The British advance on the Flanders front near Morris has very con- siderably improved the position of the forces operating on this sector of the battlefront, and has also af- forded protection to the Hazebrouck Railroad junction, the maintenance of which is of vital importance to the battleline on the Ypres front. The Americans, since the 18th day of June have taken 5,4O0 prisoners on the French front and have rend- cred aid of the most valuable kind to the Allied cause.
 Reports received indicate that a serious breakdown in discipline ex- ists in the German ranks. This is borne out in the recent attacks made by them which are characterized as half-hearted and spiritless.

SCHOOLS may USE
FIELDS IN PARK
AGAIN THIS YEAR

Three OF the Washington high
school baseball teams may be forced
to ask Uncle sam to help them out In
finding place to nok only practice
baseball this spring. but IN finding
place in Potomac Park to stage the
annual title series.
Business and Technical are up
against 1t for a practice field, as the
Patterson tract Is built up for the
soldiers. The loss OF these playing
fields will force the school teams to
go down to the Monument Lot for
their practice. Central may be IN
the same boat unless It Is decided 10
use the stadium for baseball this
spring.
The fact that the American League
plays its games here this spring f.
expected to block that avenue OF pos
sfble playing places The only fields
left open are those In Potomac Park
Eastern and Western can field Dear
the school and will probably adopt
the policy OF getting the USE OF lots
near the schools.
Georgetown win be unable TO turn
over its field for games on account
of the fact that drills viii be held
three times a week and that baseball
practice and games will be q daily az
fair on the Hilltop. Z

Eastern's chances OF making even a
good showing against Central in to
days title contest in the High School
Basketball League at the Y. n. c. A.
went glimmering with the announce
ment that "Gabby" Newman would be
unable to compete.
Newman has been out of the game
with injuries. as has Fridinger, an
other first class guard. The loss OF
these two players, with the absence
OF Wingfield. who has graduated. has
hit the. Eastern squad such a blow
that Central will find today's, game
easy picking.
Central will retain its regular line
up for today's game. sending Solo
mon, Daily, Wilson. Foster. and Long
into the fray with every idea OF roll
ing up q goodly total. The best Cen
trail has gotten in the title games 50
far is twenty-five points.
Central and Eastern will take the
floor in the first OF the scheduled
double bill. Western and Business
win 90 on in the second contest. The
Central-Eastern game ought to be a
one-sided affair unless Willie Thomas
can carry the burden OF attack and
defense. Western and Business usually
furnish a fast contest, and today's
game Is expected to be no exception.
Both Western and Business are ex-
pected to send in a number OF young
sters. For Business Mike Raedy and
Louis Towbes will probably play their
last high school title game. John
