DENVER, Colo, Jan. 18.-Author, ization of the University of Denver to play students of Tiff School of Geol- ogy, a separate corporation located on the Denver institutions campus, on it's athletic teams, was the sole busi- ness, aside from routine, to come be- fore the annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain conference, held here re- gently. This was the 1917 meeting, postponed from it's usual date in the holidays on account of the absence of one of the members.
 The freshmen rule" agitation, con- ference members said, had not been renewed since last fall, and there was no attempt to secure modification of the regulation prohibiting freshmen from playing on conference teams.

BASE BALLS I WILL NUT BE
 TEMPERED
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S-The an. l nual ''holdout" session, in which base. ball players of more or less renute threaten to buy a cigar stand swinp a pick or engage in other pursuits in. less given substantial increases fin their contracts, will not be held in tbe Pacific Coast league this year, accord ing to all indications The holdouts in the Pacific circuit, if there are any. will be told to take or leave the salary offered them, and if they choose to leave 1t their contracts will doubtless be torn up. There will be no dickar. ing or betting, the magnates say, The spirit of retrenchment is in the air, and far from receiving a raise, many of the diamond favorites will have to accept a cut.
 Every club in the league, sacra. mento particularly, is combing the cor. ner lot diamonds for material be- cause they must have it cheap. Sac ramento has a whole new c1ub to build up, and the foundation and most of the superstructure of that club is to be built of green timber.
 So the "Cack" Henleys and the Hartman Cars will be in the discard this season. The magnates contend that the average ball player ought to glad he had job while Mars is at the bat. Many a good player is fight ing for contract at a living figure, they contend, so they do not see the necessity of padding the pay envelopes of any of their hired help.

OF WOMEN
 URGES WHEAT PLEDGES

Twenty million women will be urged to abstain from the use of wheat un- til the next harvest as a result of resolutions unanimously adopted by the biennial convention of the General Federation of Women's clubs, meeting Tn Little Rock, Ark. At meeting re- gently delegates from every part of the country adopted resolution which pledges every woman upon her return home to use every effort to have her local organization go on a wheatless pledge until next harvest.

AMERICANS ARE
 FORTUNATE IN
 FOOD MAI TIERS

Fortunate the Americans in this land of plenty who can find day after day some hardship to endure Happy the "wheatless-till-harv citizens.
 Let those who have murmured over mixed breads read this bill of fare:
 Breakfast-Acorn coffee, two slices of bread made of rye, sawdust and po- tato flour.
 Dinner-Soup with small piece of tough beet, coarse turnips and no potatoes.
 Supper-Soup again with two slices of bread.
 This represents the fare of fifteen American prisoners in Germany, ac- cording to a Canadian soldier recently escaped from a German prison. The men were captured in a trench raid last October and since then had been marched many miles on these rations.
 Our men, said the Canadian who talked with them, had not received parcels of food like other soldiers. As result of their treatment they were thin, weak and mentally dazed. In this condition they had been ex- hibited from village to village as proof that the American army could not stand against trained German sol diers.
 In the lines and behind the lines America is giving daily proof that she can stand against any amount of German training. There is no better evidence of this fighting spirit than the continued response to the food administration wheat saving cam- paign. The hotel men led off, pledg- ing 800 hotels all over the country; the hotels in Arkansas and hundreds elsewhere followed; then the dining cars and clubs came in. Entire coun- ties have given up their holdings of flour and two states-Idaho and Tex as-pledged their willingness to give up wheat if necessary. Total abstain CTS clubs have been formed in Ohio, and from a Florida town came the wheatless pledge Until we whip the kaiser" The General Federation of Women's clubs meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, pledged each delegate to go home and enlist in the wheatless ranks the twenty million members. of the Federation.
 If days and weeks and even months to come are wheatless, let no one whimper who calls himself an Amer ican. In this world of heroic suffer ing, fortunate the Americans who can find some hardship to endure. redouble your efforts 12pt
 q would save more wheat" she ad- mitted frankly, "if my neighbors did But when I see all of them using 50 per cent in their cooking I lose all of my enthusiasm for cutting down my wheat ration to zero or even of re- ducing it to the official ration of one and one half pounds per week for each person in my family. Whats the use?' I say to myself My neigh bors would waste more than I could possibly save even if I went wheat less"
 It is true, it is much easier to fol- low the example of some one else than set an example for yourself. But SUD- pose our soldiers should say, There is no use for us to fight or to con- tinue fighting because there are slack CTS in the army" where would we stand in the war today?

DEFENSE IS STIFFENING ALL : ALONG BATTLE FRONT FROM
 NOYON TO CHAULNES.
MANY OFFICERS CAPTURED
Germans Are Reacting Violently in Region of Lihons, Which Changed Hands Twice During Night
 Now Held By the British.

Paris. The Germans are holding the Chaulnes-R -Roye-Noyon line, but the allies are making progress south of Noyon. The enemy's reserves ara coming into action and the defense Is stiffening all along the battle front from Noyon to Chaulnes.
 Desperate fighting is going on be- tween the British army of General Rawlinson and the German army of von Der Marwitz. The enemy IS counter-attacking savagely west of Noyon and seems determined to hold the town at all costs.
 The number of prisoners taken 90 far in the allied offensive in Picardy is now estimated at 36,000 including more than 1000 officers. More than 500 guns have been captured. accord ing to the latest advices.
 The pivot of the German resistance at this stage of the battle, it now appears, is the town of Noyon about midway between Montdidier and SoiS, son. The enemy is throwing in re- serves from this base in an effort to prevent, regardless of cost, the al- lies from gaining control of the Noy- on-Ham road, which is choked with material, guns and troops.
 The Germans are expected to make desperate stand on the Roye-Noyon line to permit the columns which are retreating in the direction of Nesle and Ham to reach safety.
 The resistance of the Germans is stiffening against the Fourth British army under General Rawlinson. They are reacting violently in the region of Lihons, which changed hands twice during the night, but which this morn ing was firmly held by the British.
 All the bridges across the Somme between Peronne and Ham, a stretcn of about fifteen miles, have been de- stroyed by allied aviators. The Ger mans have been attempting to throw temporary bridges across the stream and the allied airmen are now sys- tematically bombing these improvised structures.
 All the morning reports show ex- treme confusion among the enemy forces in their precipitate retreat.
 Among the prisoners taken are gen. erals, colonels and officers of all grades. Eleven divisions of Generals von Hutier and von Marwitz have been identified by prisoners taken.
