GOOD CONDUCT IN NAVY
Sailors Conducted Themselves Better
in War Than In Peace Times.


Washington. Jan. 12.--The Navy
lived up 10 its best traditions during
the war and sailors almost invariably
conducted themselves better than in
peace times. Despite the large mum.
ber of men inducted into service from
civil life. which increased the naval
force 1874 per cent, there were fewer
violations of navy regulations. The
percentage Of courtsmartial decreased
from LIS to LII IN the navy and
from 2,72 to 1.20 in the Marine Corps.
This fine record OF the sailors be-
havlor was revealed in the annual re.
port Of Captain George r. Clark,
Judge advocate general. who also took
occasion TO commend the improved
conditions in naval prisons. which he
attributed largely TO the efforts OF the
Welfare League. In referring TO ex.
cellent conditions at the Portsmouth.

Even Socialist Leaders Are Disturbed
BY Serious Consequences Of
Strikers Action.
TROUBLE is BREWING

Rotterdam, Jan. 20 Strikes of
miners on u great scale have broken
out in Germany. extending TO nearly
every colliery district. The move
ment, which originated as a protest
against the killing of LieDlnecht and
Rosa Luxembourg, is of political
character, directed against the Ebert.
Scheidemann government
In Upper Slesia, where last week
an economic settlement was arrived
at between the employers, and work
ers, fresh strike has begun and ac-
cording to today's news, OF the 150,-
600 miners in that area. 10000 are
idle. In the Essn region trouble is
brewing, and large numbers of pits
are closed.
The employers of. the famous
Deutsche Kaiser mine have issued a
declaration that their action is Il de.
monstration against the government.
At Hamm, near Dusseldorf, the
workers have proclaimed the Social
ization of the mines. At Remscheid
there is a general strike as a protest
against the killing of LieDknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg All industries
there are stopped and traffic is at a
standstill.
The Berliner Tageblatt states that
at Opel, near Breslau, notwithstand-
ing the decision of their leaders that
work must be continued, the employ
es OF no fewer than forty-four mines
went on strike and the leaders have
no longer any authority over the men.
Brlin, Jan 22, (via Copenhagen
During the period Of the strike Of
electrical workers In Berlin, (since
ended) perhaps majority OF the
houses here were without any light,
The few candles in the stores were
sold and there was not quart OF ker-
osene. the only other possible illu-
minant at any public store.
The effect OF the strike was almost
a catastrophe at the hospitals which
were oyercrowded. In some cases
the lives of patients on operating
tables were endangered because the
lights went out suddenly and without
warning. Patients might have bled
to death but for the extraordinary
dexterity of German sergeons which
has been increased many told by the
exigencies during the four years OF
war.

3. 4. S. WON

Close Game Between High School and
7. c. A. Of Soultuey.
Bennington, high school Friday won
its sixth basketball victory OF the sea
son when it defeated the r. c. A. of
Poulmey by the score OF 1913. From
whistle-blow to whistle-blow the game
was a close one. although at no
time did the visitors have q lead.
When the Poultney team appeared
on the floor, the spectators began TO
see visions of a glorious conquest on
the part of the invaders, but after five
minutes of play, they decided that the
teams were we'll matched. The ball
was kept in the Bennington end of
the court more than half OF the time.
but when the foreign guards maneu-
yered IL into their own territory a
goal was often made a. the T. C. A.
boys could shoot like Yankee soldiers.
AT the end of the first halt the score
stood l5-g.
During tho first part Of the second
half the Methodist delegation broke
away and made three neld baskets
while the local quintette secured only
one OF each kind Then tho guarding
stiffened and the fog of doubt as TO
who would win was blown away by
the hurricane manner in which Ben.
nington came back with the good old
password, Bennington. We mean
Burt, shot another foul and Leonard
for the Poulney. five shot two such
birds. In the meanwhile the home
team shot two field baskets allowing
the visitors but one. So, at the end OF
the game, Bennington led with the
score 23.10.
The high school boys played so
much as n team unit that il is difficult
TO say that any one starred This
was Summers first appearance on the
home floor aud the audience was we'll
pleased With his work. The other
, players displayed their usual worth
only more so. The visiting team was
similar in that all were fine players.
The difference in the two teams
seemed to be that the visitors strong
point was shooting and that Of the
| local FIVE was pass work.
