GEORGIA TECH HAS
WINNINGPROSPECTS

From a Georgia Tech man comes
word that the Golden Tornado is not
worrying at all about Vanderbilt's
glowing prospects. the Atlanta crowd
having prospects. of their own which
are not without Iuster. Indeed. il is
asserted that the Yellow Jackets this
fall will have a combination that will
cause anything previously developed
at Tech - to appear frail and inert,
comparatively speaking. John Heis-
man. about whom there has been some
doubt, has been induced to sign a new
contract. and he alone was needed to
give assurance OF a great season. Many
OF the stars of former seasons who
were engaged in war work and are
now out OF the service. will return to
football, including several players who
assisted Tech to attain its great 1917
prestige.
Saws our Southern friend: THE
Tech Athletic Association has ar
ranged a schedule that will bring the
most formidable teams in the country
tn Atlanta, and the loyal supporters
Of Southern football will have the
privilege of seeing their native pig
skin artists in action against strong
Eastern teams. The one big regret
at Atlanta is that the Jackets play
Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. We won't
make any predictions on this little
matter until after the game. although
we may have an awful bunch. How
ever fur is sure to fly.
Among the members OF the 1917
team that will be back in harness
again are Harlan. Phillips. Fincher,
Bowling. and Quill. All of these men
are practically sure Of returning. and
there is bright possibility OF His-
gins. La Bay. and Strupper. OF the
1917 outfit being back on the Job. Be-
sides these men. there will be big
bunch Of last years men on hand.
Davis. Adams Doyle, Huffiner, Staten,
and ScarbOro are sure to report
Lucky Harlan. the boy that con-
tributed so much TO the scoring ma
chine OF the Cleveland Naval Reserves
st year. will be a fixture in the back
field. with a years experience and
added weight this lad is sure to go
in great style. The aIl-famoUs Strup-
per is a matter of much speculation
at present. Whether he will return to
play his remaining year. no one
knows but every supporter Of the
Tech team has an earnest desire to
see this great haIfback make a choice
&c come back.
IN W. Heisman will call his war
Iiors together on September I. when
practice will begin. Besides Heisman.
Coach Alexander. who has just re-
turned from France. will be on the job
to help develop the Jackets. Coach
Wood will have charge of the linemen
and will answer the call on Septem-
Der l."

Tender Makes Good.

Lew Tender proved beyond pread
venture Monday night that he pos
sessed the gameness and the ring
generalship of a champion. In the
frs round OF his BOUT with Willie
Jackson who packs a mules kick in
his right glove, he was fioored by a
wallop to the jaw. He craftily took
nine count and. rising, went down
again. He was shaken sadly by that
second blow. He stalled through the
round.
% In the second he proceeded to give
Jackson the licking of his young life
and kept IL up for five rounds, leaving
no doubt in the minds of the fans as
to which was the better boxer.
Tender may not be able to defeat

SLEEPING SICKNESS
 APPEARS IN HARTFORD

Hartford, March 1.-The sleeping sickness" har arrived in Hartford and last evening 1t was said at the Hartford hospital that several pa tIents were III from the disease. which is one of tEe most peculiar knowT to medical science. Although not contag gious, or infectious to any great degree, or likely to appear in cpl demic form, the sleeping sickness" Is one of the most dreaded maladies known.
 No cases had been officially report ed to the health department, Dr. Charles P. Botsford. the superinten- dent. said last evening. 'Ir appears he said the disease usually is a re- suit of influenza affecting the brain, the patient going into a coma, or stu DOT. The term sleeping sickness" has apparently been coined for the occasion, and so far as we know, it does not bear any relation to the dis ease known in Africa by the same name. I do not believe there Is dan ger of 1t spreading to any extent"
 It was said at St. Francis's Hospi- tai that no patients suffering from the Tnalady were in the hospital and, so far as known, those in the Hart ford hospital are the only cases in the city.

Newark, \. J..

QUIET PREVAILS
 AT TIEN-TSIN
Apparent That Minister Reinsch Attaches No I'm
 portance to Affair.

Washington, March 17-Minister Reinsch at Picking advised the State Department today that all was quiet at lien Tsin, where there was trou- ble last week between American sol diers and Japanese, and that he was sending a full report of the incident by mail. The department instructed him to report all important facts by cable immedia teley.
 The minister made no mention of the nature of the difficulty either in today's despatch CT in his message Saturday reporting that he had sent First Secretary Spencer from Pek- ing 10 investigate.
 Associated Press despatches from Picking have described a raid by American on the Japanese consulate, in which the consul was seriously wounded; that seizure of two Ameri- cans in the French concession by Japanese military guards, and an at tack by Japan on Americans at a moving picture theatre in the French concession.
 The fact that Minister Reinsch thought it unnecessary to send his responsibility cable is regarded here as indicating that he did not attach great importance in the matter.

Chinese Government Makes Settlement in HGonocacy
 Case.

Picking, March 1.-The Chinese gov ernment has accepted the suggestions made by the American government in its note of March for the settlement of the Monocacy incident.
 The incident occurred January IT last year when the American gunboat Monocacy was steaming up the Yang tse-Klang river.

O'Brien. chief yeoman. re- ceived wounds from which he died within an hour, and Seamen Fergu- son and W. NJ. Donne1ly were slightly injured. Under the settlement the widow of O'Brien receives an in demnity of s25,o00 in gold while Ferguson and DonneIly receive $50U each.
 The firing on the gun boat is at tributed here to the Chinese troops becoming panic-strtcken at the ap- pearance of the war vessel.

 ing to Report.
PRESENT HEADS
 MERELY PUPPETS
Members of Military Caste Appear As Organizers of
 New Army.

London, March F - Special deSpatcheS from Berlin report that the suppression of the re- cent Spartacan outbreak there has shown that a military and monarchiSt reaction iS growing and Oyershadowing the new government.
 The Berlin correspondent of ihe Mail, who on February 2, sent a despatch outlining plans for a monarchist uprising in Germany, has arrived in Lon don, having left Berlin on March 14 after residence there of three months.
 He rette-ates that President Ebert Chancellor Scheidermanu and Minis ter of War Noske are merely puppets He declares that for the purpose oi retaining power they have allowed members of the military caste to re- appear as organizers of the new re- publican armies
 These men Are the real governors of Germany he says, They make the edicts and Chancellor Scheide- mann and his colleagues willingly sign thsrn."
 Similar testimony Is given by other corresp ondenss !n telesraphing from Berlin. some stating that the capture Of the suburb of Lichtenbe-g has been Intentionally prolonged to ex- terminate the Srartacars whose treatment by government troops is said to be sharply conde0 ned.
 While alleged atrocities are attri- buted to the spartacans, details which have been given are doubted or denied. Even the Vorwaerts ad- mits them to be much exaggerated. The correspondents concur in the statement that extreme bitterness has been created against the government troops and that further trouble Is in evitable.
 ~ According to a despatch to the Mail, the Spartacan revolt will cer- ta&nly recur in ever-increa sing force unless a miracle happens It adds that Herr Noskes forces have been recruited by brtbes and promise ot big rations and that to this may be attributed some of the food shortage q Berlin.
