REMEMBER BOYS.

The boys who are destined to go to the front should remember who they leave behind them It is often said that marital happiness is founded on congeniality of temperament and some simil- arity of experience. This is generally found best in the old home neighborhood where the young folks know each others tempers and char acters. Yes indeed, the boys will do we'll to re- member that back in the old town some one is dreaming of them.

JOHN L. LEFT NO WILL
Sturdy Old Fighter Thought He
Would Live Hundred Years.

Boston, Feb. s.-Firnly believing
that he would exceed the allotted span
of three score years and ten, John L.
Sullivan a week before his death at
Abingdon last Saturday refused to
discuss the question of making will
Clarence W. Rowley OF Boston, Sui
livans business adviser and attorney,
said today that petition would be
filed in court next week for the ap
pointment of an administrator of the
estate.
"a few days before John L. died,
1 urged him to let me write his WILL
but he refused Rowley said. John
l. told me he fully expected to live
to be hundred and that under no
circumstances would he take up the
question of a will for twenty years"
Outside of his farm at Abingdon, a
substantial property, Su1livan's hold
ings were nominal. The estate will
go to his sister, Mrs. Annie Lennon
this city, the only surviving relative.

Dickerson Makes Liberal Base
ball Proposition to Topeka.
Assurance of Attendance Will
Bring w. L. Club Back.

With assurances that the Western
league is on a sane war basis and tnat
the business blunders club owners
have made in the past will not pc re-
peated E. W. Dickerson, former
sport writer and at present proxy OF
the "Mother of Minor Leagues, is
in Topeka to offer this city another
berth in his organization. President
Dickerson has been milling around
with the fans and business men since
Thursday and today he appeared at
the noon meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce to make his offer.
1.-The Western league needs Topeka
and we believe Topeka needs base
ball. was the frank statement Dicker-
| sor made in explaining the object OF
his visit here. "This city is certainly
Western league territory and we are
anxious to have it back in our organ
ization. not only because of its location
that makes it accessible from a rail-
road standpoint, but also because we
believe it is able to maintain a club
under our present working arrange
ment."
Must Sell Tickets.
Dickerson explained that the city
will not be asked to contribute one
cent towards the purchase of a fran
chise or as an inducement but that if
the fans will merely indicate their de-
sire for a team by buying a sufficient
brought here and an effort will be
made to give the city high class ma
tional pastime entertainment.
Some place must be found for the
Denver franchise" the prexy asserted.
We have had flattering offers from
Peoria, ILL.,, and other towns that we
know would have no trouble in sup
porting club, but most of these towns
are as far away as Denver and to take
them-in would mean eventually that
we would have to drop some of our
present cities because of the excessive
cost of transportation between towns.
Topeka is so close to Hutchinson,
Wichita, ST. Joe and Joplin that you
can readily see the advantage of plac-
ing the club here
Ready to Close Deal.
eff the city will only agree to pur-
chase 500 ticket books at $50 apiece
we will be thoroly convinced she is
anxious for baseball and will proceed
at once to make arrangements for her
entrance into tho league"
Dickerson explained that a plan for
selling the ticket books has been par
TALLY made and that his idea is not to
ask that the books be paid for in a
lump sum but to arrange it so that
buyers will pledge themselves and
later pay for the tickets in INSTALL
ments if they desire. In this way they
would be sure of getting what they
paid for before making final payment
and they would not feel the strain so
much.
Dicke-son said that if he received
main here until details for the placing
of the Denver club were arranged,
but if he did no. he would Immediate
| ly look elsewhere.

tie, London Reports


British Army Headquarters I'm
France, March 25.-A further ad-
vance late yesterday by the Germans
at some points along the battle front
is recorded.
American engineers have again
been i'm the throes of fierce conflict
in which they have done excellent
work in transportation.
The presence of the American en-
gineers on the battle front long has
been known. They were praised
highly for their gallantry in the
battle of Cambria last fall.
Huns Use Cavalry
German cavalry in small numbers
has been in action, but thus far il
has been used merely to harrass the
British during their withdrawal.
The Germans have been pushing
forward by sheer weight of mum
bers. with the assistance of little ar
tillery.
In the region between Bapaume
and Peronne the British fell back
again somewhat in the fighting late
on Sunday. This marked the main
success of the enemy, Whose pro-
gress is being contested bitterly step
by step.
