Washington. December 2s.-RecQpmen- dation will be made to President Wilson by the department of justice that the some IA months ago on Lathor Witsche, former German naval officer, for plot ting against the United States be set aside and that the officer be tried for violation of the espionage law by a fed eral court, it was stated tonight by a high official of the department.
 Witsche who is said by officials here to have been captured in Nogalez. Ariz., early in 1918, is now being held in the military prison at Fort sam Houston, awaiting presidential disposition of the findings of the court-martial which tried him. While department of justice of ficials refused tonight to give in detail the nature of the charges against the German officer, reports were not denied that evidence in possession of the gov ernment had connected him with the
 Black Tom" explosion at Jersey City and with propaganda designed to arouse the negro population of the south were not denied.
 President Wilson, it was said, after going over the findings of the court martial, was not convinced that the case of Witsche was one within the jurisdie- tion of the military authorities and for that reason has asked the opinion of At torney General PaDner.
 The department of justice is preparing to submit with it's recommendation for trial by civil court large amount of information concerning Witsche which it's agents along the border have collected.

Pefore a large congregation @XesJer- day morning at the Southside Baptist church pr. James F. billiard preaehee a timely sermon on Looking Back ward pr. billiard said in part:
 At the close of the old year it is well for us to stop and take look backward; well for us to take stock face. the facts, yearn the lessons Of the old year in the hopes of avoiding mistakes in the hew. History is phll- osophy teaching by experience. Any one may make a mistake. but the man who makes the same mistakes con stantly is d fool. Nations as well as individuals should be students of his tory.
 .'The past year has been one of dis nIusionmcnt. disappointments, difficult ties perplexities, reaction and unrest in the world at large. Many problems that we had anticipated and for which we had in a measure, prepared our selves failed to materialize. And many others that we thought settled have persisted and become more complex People everywhere had given large thought as 10 what to do with the returning soldier, but when he re- turned we found he was no problem at all He came back quietly, soberiy and seriously went to work, taking his place in the industrial and social world unostenta tiously and gladly. Prof kessler of Vanderbilt, said recently, There is no problem of the returning soldier it is the problem of the man at home.'
 We had been told that our churches would have to reconstruct their mes sages and programs to enlist the sym pathy and meet the needs of the men from the front We were told that they were going to change our views in theology and that if our churches did not change their programs these men would not return to her services But. in Birmingham, we find the sol dier comes back appreciating his church and Sunday school even more than when he went away. I have not heard word of criticism of the Gospel as preached or the work as it is done in our church. The president of our great mems class. the vice-president and other officers are returned sol diers The director of our young per ple's work and many of the most ac- tive men in our church are returned soldiers.
 "The year has been one of disap- pointrnent in many regards. We thought that we saw the basis of per manent peace in the treaty and league of nations, but the further we go, the more disappointed we become. Ma tions that had fought together in the

CONDITIONS IN EGYPT CONTINUE TO IMPROVE
By Associated Press

London, Monday, December 29.- Field Marshal Viscount Allenby, Brit ish high commissioner in Egypt. is quoted by the Cairo correspondent of the Daily Mail as saying in an inter view on December 2S. that conditions in Egypt generally were improving. The opportunity offered to represen- tative people to lay their views before the Milner commission was being more and more widely accepted. The re- cent unrest, said Viscount Allenby, was not of such a special character as ina gined, but was an example of rest iveness under authority manifested in many parts of the world as a conse- quence of the war.
 The commissioner spoke apprecia tivel yof the Sultan. with whom he worked in perfect collaboration, and added that the members of the gov- ernment also were excellent and help full men, while many prominent per sons outside of the government had expressed desire to cooperate with the British.

great war as brethren in, common cause, when the war was over, began to scramble and quarrel We need to remember that the world can never pc saved in mass. The world must be reconstructed, man by man. There are only three possible bases of human so- eietv; the first is fear, which drives men apart; the second is hate, which make them contend the third is fe- Aspect. which makes them cooperate. We have long tried the first two ana now we must try the third.
 "To make any plan of union and peace work among the nations, there must be acequate dynamo. This alone is supplied by Christ; hence the importance of the mission work among the nations of the earth. The war cost the nations $3S7 ,000.000,000 of money and the result is peace that is unsatisfactory to every nation and the clements of war are beneath the surface. If one-half this money had been spent in preaching the gospel to the nations of Europe, in all probab- l fifty, the war would have never oc- cured. And unless the nations pour their treasuries into the preaching of | the gospel of peace, we or our children will see another war, compared with which the one now completed was but a slight skirmish
 "The home of the world is on Christ, "If I be lifted up I will draw all na- tions unto me-" said Jesus. Let's lift him up and wlen the nations are
 drawn to Him they will be drawn to
 each other"

Wilde wouldn't take on Pal Moore, Joe Lynch, Pete Herman or the ther topnitcher. He wanted something ~soft-" So he chose Sharkey and Shar- key avenged the insult to his ability by Whaling Wilde near to the knock out state in their Milwaukee bout.
 But sharkey. even though he is jubi- iant over his victory. and although he insist he can knock out Wilde in a 2o-rounder, isn't scoffing the ability of Wilde.
 He's a tough baby, I'll say" re- marks Sharkey. He's brainy; he's fast; he can hit, and, oh. boy, he's a boxer. No mistake about that He's the shiftiets, cleverest little fellow I ever saw. He will trim any fellow that tries to box it with him because he's a master there.
 SLUGGED
 T beat him because I wouldn't fight his way; wouldn't box him. Slug ging-that's my game. It isn't his. So when I carried the battle to him, forced mitigating, instead of the long lange style that he likes, I had him in bad way I never gave him a chance to set. And, as a result, he was forced into battling methods with which he was not at all familiar.
 ''Wi1de, or someone ofrhis friends, has been bowling since that fight. It's claimed that Jimmy didn't get square deal That's a lie on the face of things. And Wilde, understand, says that I couldn't duplicate my victory. Well, I'll make him little proposition. I'll meet him in a 20-round bout anywhere he says and bet every dollar of my guarantee with him at even money that win on a knockout. That's fair enough, isn't it?"
 HURT WILDES PEP
 In an earlier article I speculated as to whether or not the jinx that pursues British fighters on these shores would ensnare the little Briton. Apparently it has. Tor Wilde, because of defeat by a comparative unknown, will lose countless thousands of dollars. He got over $11,000 for that Sharkey battle. Had he won he WAS assured of at least six more fights with guarantees in that neighboorheod.
 But he lost, and lost decisively. And he was beaten by a youth never before reckoned in the top-notch class. This has caused promoters to decide that Wilde won't be the drawing card that was supposed: that may be, after all. Wilde isn't the wonder of wonders, as supposed. Some who earlier were bid ding high for his services have with drawn altogether, while those who still want to match him have slashed their Ori ipinql terms abOlIf in half Sharkey, on the other hand, has leaped to the fore as drawing card. Last spring he was almost unknown. A few victories during the summer gave him fair repute and he got as high as s35o for one of his fights just prior

 Pittsburg, December 2S.-(Special) mana cement, following its usual poll icy of arranging a schedule with rep resentative rivals, has completed it's programme for 1920 The list of games presents some problems for Head Coach Glenn S. Warner next fall, for there is not single soft spot" on the card.
 The most important games are with Syracuse and Penn State both of which defeated the Panthers this year. with Washington and Jefferson, Pennsyl- vania, Georgia Tech, Lafayette and West Virginia University.
 Georgia Tech will make it's third an- nual pilgrimage to Pittsburg, meeting Pitt at Forbes field on Saturday, De- tober 23. This gyill be an >intersectional game of considerable importancei
 The game with Syracuse was origi- nally considered for Pittsburg, but Pitt agreed to make the trip to Syracuse again. inasmuch as it is slated to come between two other big games in Pitts burg with West Virginia and Georgia Tech.
 The only new team on the Pitt schedule is Lafayette. Pitt could have had several other new games, had it been willing to play them abroad. West Point offered a game on its own grounds, and the University of Ne- braska wanted the Partners to travel to Lincoln. Lehigh was also consid- cred for game, but had to be dropped because there was no available date.
 In the usual order of things. the Penn game would have been played here, but it was impossible for Penn to get away on any date suitable to Pitt, so the Panthers agreed to go to Franklin field again. There is a pos sibility of two-year contract being signed by the management of the two big Keystone state schools in foot ball, covering the season of 1920 and
