CzER|NE ALWAYS
CORRECT IN WAR;;
SAYS 50 HIMSELF
(By Associated Press)

VIENNA. Nov. 19-Delayed-The
book of revelations regarding the war,
written by Count CZernin, former Aus
tro-Hungarian minister of foreign af-
fairs, is complete, and has come into
the possession of n Vienna political
personality who briefly and pithily
sketches what the count writes.
1t presents in detail one section OF
the war, says the writer, and throws
light on dark episodes by official doc
uments. archives, and letters. Czernin
publishes astonishing writings of the
one time German chancellor, confiden-
tial messages from ambassadors and
ministers, protocols about government
meetings-in short, facts and proofs.
Seeks to Shift Blame
The count, however, says the writer
tries above all to prove that he never
had any blame or guilt, and that he
was always right and saw what was
coming
In two important points Czernin is
able to prove that he was gooo
prophet for in 1916, he was the only
Austrian diplomat who predicted the
Rounanian war, and, in 1917, the
breakdown and the revolution. The
writer continues;
"The submarine warfare and Pres
ident Wilson form two separate chap
ters The struggles of Czernln
against the U.boat warfare are shown
from the reports and protocols which
are reproduced. Germany however
wou,d not take counsel, and insisted
upon using this method. Czernin dis
cusses the idea of separating Austria
from Germany but is convinced this
would have brought no advantage
No Escape for Dual Monarchy
Should America come into the "ai
AGAINST Cermany Austria-Hungary
would be automatically drawn in, fol
Austro Hungarian artillery was al
ready at the west front, Czernin says.
Full Of gripping interest" the
writer adds, sis the chapter about

Wilson Czernin considers Wilson un-
questionably honorable, but he ques-
toned from hte first whether Wilson's
theories would prevent the carrying
out of Londons ideas.
"Czernin says he made efforts to
determine whether Wilson's program
or the Italian conquests would be the
deciding factor in the peace discus
sion, but right in the middle of his
negotiations, he was relieved from Of
flee. he says. His suspicion of the
fourteen points was justified. At Yer
sailes, he declares, the terms OF the
London conference triumphed, not the
theories of Wilson.
Sees War in the Future
Count Czernin says of the future
" Versailles is not the end of the
war; it is only phase of it. The war
will continue even if in altered form

NIPPON-EL CENTRIC BASE
BALL GAME SUNDAY

The great Japanese team is on the
boards with Ell Centre here next Sun
day, and it is safe to say that the fans
are gong to witness fast game. The
Nlppons were handed a raw deal in
last Sundays game with INLAND, at the
Bfawley grounds and, after having the
game on ice, were cheated out of it
by an umpire who proved to be a
novice. The game was, of course
thrown out by President Gipe and will
have to be played over at some future
date, undoubtedly on a Saturday after
noon.
The japanese team is composed of
eight former professional players who
made a tour of the United States be-
fore the war, representing the Waseda
University of Japan. They are all
trained athletes and are said to be
fast players. X. Nabeshima, the man.
ager of the team, is a former graduate
of the Waseda University of Japan
and knows the game thoroughly. Mr..
Nabeshima is considered the father of
baseball in Japan and developed many
a player before coming to the United
States.
Oscar Jones, who happened to be
playing with the Vancouver, B. c.,
aggregation, in the Northwestern lea
que before the war, pitched against
the Japanese team, while they were
visiting Vancouver, and Jones says
that all he could do was to hold them
down to a score of / to @.
81 will always remember the game"
says Jones. 81 was pitching pretty
good ball at that time, and when the
game was arranged with the Japs,
thougst l had walk away and start
ed to take things easy in the opening
INNING, but | was given great sur
prise when they started to get after
me and placed two men on the bases.
Had it not been fer couple of lucky
outs in that first inning they would
have piled up a score that might have
taken the heart cut Of US"
Jones is taking great pleasure in
facing this same squad once again
and will furnish fine brand of ball.
! The Japs are foxy and use strange
signals and signs, including their ma
tive language, when men are on the
bases. Toxic (not named after Jap
ans capitaD, the pitcher, has a col
lection of queer looking curves and
a high break ball that is wonderful
puzzler to the batters.
The Ell Centro team was cut to the
grounds this afternoon, hitting them
out, and Manager Maynard says that
there is going to be different story
told after Sundays game. "All the
team needs is plenty Of batting prac-
tice, and we are going to see to this
from now on" says the El Centre
manager.

promoter, is going to dish out a box
ing entertainment mixed with a jazz

lures. Hoppe was with the heavy ar
tillery that laid the barrage at the
Argonne and within few feet of Pro-
moter Woodbury., who led the bayonet
section over the top. Hoppe is clever
boxer and will meet San Diego boy
his weight. The appearance of Hoppe
and Woodbury. in an Ell Centre rino
will remind the former fighting Uncle
Sans warriors Of the day they bat
tied for all they were worth against
the enemy. Hoppe and Woodbury. will
relate to- the spectators what they did
while under fire, and their stories will
add interest to the entertainment.

The Best Investment

Today there is no safer investment
than Liberty Bonds. There is no
chance of loss in the end, and as long
as our government exists your money
is safe and is earning an Increment for
you.
Think, now, of the cheerfully made
sacrifices, of the hard fought battles
of the war just over. Americas sons
distinguished themselves, and Wausau
and Marathon county men were there
on the battlefields, in the trenches, the
air, on the sea and submerged. They
won their fight by hard knocks, and
some of the knocks were knockout
blows. The governments appeal for
your money to be lent to it's their
request. 1t is a duty as well as an
investment opportunity.
In United States camps, on the sea
and in France army and navy men
have purchased bonds voluntarily be-
cause they knew their government
needed their money as we'll as that OF
those at home. Most of them were
doubtless in more need of cash than
any at home In one battalion the
writer has in mind, during the Fourth
Liberty Loan, the Major purchased
$500 in bonds; the adjutant 5000, and
every enlisted man bought from one
to three bonds. There was no com
pulsion whatever-it was done because
these men wanted to do more than give
their services.
The family should do just as thi:
headquarters 1id-pennies, nickels
dimes and quarters should be con
scientiously saved and applied to bono
payments. The baby should be the
proud possessor of one-it may be thu
foundation of another Rockerfelle
fortune. For the boy IN his teens
will be an incentive to save; he is a
an age when he is perhaps thinking
more about good time (thoughtless
ly ignoring extravaganza than abou
saving and the future. To the olde
girl it may mean a welcome saving
when she is married To the olde
son it may be the nest egg on whicl
to start a home. To the older folk
a bond means instant credit at an
time that it is urgently needed.
A Liberty Bond is worth all that
claimed for it-and then some more

ONE GOOD THING FROM WAR
cocone Nut, Hitherto Considered Only
as Nuisance, Has Been Made Arti-
Gle Of Commerce.

Before the war the cocone, which
grows freely in the Southern Ameri-
cas-, on large trees of the palm fam
lily. was literally such a hard nut to
crack that its vegetable oil had no
place in commerce, and the tree was
known chiefly as d botheration to
banana planters when they wished to
enlarge their plantations. Eighteen
hundred pounds pressure is required
to crack the cocone nut, and there was
no machinery for doing it. Then gov
eminent experts said that nothing else
In the world would provide such good
carbon for gas masks as the cOcone
nut, and the United States financed
the creation of machinery for crack
ing 1t, thus starting a new and i'm
portant industry. Hereafter 1t will
be well worth while breaking the shells
for the vegetable Oil inside them, val
liable for cooking, lighting, and the
making of nut butter; and the shells,
happily no longer needed for masks,
can be used as fuel or in the manufac-
ture of gas. And so, out of an effort
to prevent the expansion of autocracy
by conquest, the Southern Americas
find opportunity to expand by COM
merce.-Scientific American.
