NEGOTIATIONS REACH
CRISIS OWING TO SPIES

LONDON, Jan. 22-Negotiations be-
tween James O'Grady, British delegate,
and Maxim Ltvinoff, representative OF
the Russian soviet government, at Co
penhagen, looking to the exchange of
prisoners, have reached critical stage
because of the alleged system of espion-
age practiced on the latter, according
to the correspondent of the Herald, at
the Danish capital.
Virtually every hotel is said to have
refused to accommodate M, Litvinoff,
who has appealed to both Mr. O'Grady
and NJ TchitcheTin, Bolshevk foreign
minister, asking that the negotiations
be transferred to another country. In
his telegram to M Tchitcherin, the
Bolshevik representative declares, it is
said, that he is under semiarrest and
is being constantly watched. He says
six detectives are staying at his hotel
and accuses the Danish government OF
not fulfilling the guarantees given when
negotiations were proposed.

Livestock Association made a recent
survey of the cattle situation Of
western Kansas. He stopped off at
Garden City and made a trip down
into southwest Finney county, Has

He passed through many pastures
in this great cattle country Of south
west Kansas, containing thousands of
acres Of excellent grass. upon which
there was not single herd of cattle,
Mr.. Mercer said.
Through theese counties In which
he drove he saw less thhan 200 head

game Of the season on the home field
by a score of 10 to 13, against Dick
inson county high school Friday
afternoon. st
In the first quarter Chapman broke
through Abilene's line with COM
parative. ease and made two touch
downs and kicked one goal. In the
second quarter Abilene picked up and
the first score was made on a for
ward pass and spectacular 50-yard
run by Grant Fisher, but they missed
the goal on the Nick. In the end Of
the third quarter Barber broke
through the Chapman line and made
another touchdown for Abilene. Abb.
lene kicked goal and thus tied the
score. The playing was hard on
both sides during the fourth quarter
and Abilene's final score and victory
came In the last three minutes of
the game. Abilene was within few
yards Of the goal and was fighting
against stiff line which was spar
ring for time, when Barber made an
end run and landed another touch
down.
Meade Hargiss, who refereed, has
been engaged for the rest Of the sea-
son for games on the home field.
Hobart Fairland, also from X. s. A.

The "kid band" furnished music
before the game and between halves
and added a lot of pep to the root
