BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BELGRADE, April 8.-Omcial
quarters declared today Yugoslavia
would act Jointly with Italy in case
the allies blockade the Adriatic or
lay mines there.
The British announcement that
mines had been laid in Norwegian
territorial waters stirred sharp anx-
iety that the allies might extend
their operations to the Adriatic.
The first German freighter loaded
with Yugoslav bauxite left Dubrov-
mix early yesterday for Trieste
through Yugoslav and Italian ter
ritorial waters to test this channel
as means of evading the allied
blockade,
"a dispatch from Rome said
the Ankara had successfully
completed its test trip to Trieste).
German proposals to establish a
BLOCKADE proof" trade route through
the Adriatic with part of the mer-
chant fleet bottled up in Italian
ports since the start of the war have
led to recurrent but unconflrmed
reports that British warships were
ready to break up any such traffic.
Oft1cials here pointed out that
Italy controls both sides of the
narrow Straits of Otranto which is
the only entrance to the Adriatic.
Yugoslavia's foreign policy has
been tied closely with 1taly's since
Italy annexed Albania a year ago.

In a whole flutter of new record,

Central Leagues got into the race
after the fourth week of play, Mark
Franta, Sig's Place strongarm,

Franta tripped the trigger on
the first score that topped the

of the local alleys when he

play last Thursday with a new
three game individual total of
643. His games were 17S, 2S8,

Ostensibly Sig's Place shot the
fireworks last week. Not only with
Franta's three games, but the team
as a whole set a new three game
total with 2734 pins, rubbing out
North American in three straight

To the Voters

AS officers of the county are the
servants Of the people, 1t is proper
that one seeking reelection should
give an account of his stewardship.
Without boasting allow me to SUBJ
NIT the following report and quail
fications.
1. I have had a great deal of
experience in probating estates be-
fore taking this office, and this,
with the additional study of pro-
bate laws since, has placed me in
a position to guide the probating of
estates with efficiency.
2. Always having been a friend
of children and young people it
has been my aim to set right such
as came before the Juvenile Court
About 800 of these children made
good under probation. Encourage
ment and correction, rather than
punishment is what our laws favor,
and I have endeavored to carry out
this policy.
3. The many friendly letters and
statements from people Of the coun-
ty in connection with Juvenile
Court Reports have greatly pleased
me and have spurred me to greater
efforts.
I should like to serve the people
for another term.
Respectfully submitted,
PAUL ALLIES.

But you can't lay it all to that.
Willmar had identical troubles
multiplied by another digit. In
three successive games they have
lost three fullbacks by the injury
route and with broken bones. &.
The lad, Neunsinger, who played at
the post against Sank Centre was
jerked from guard spot to play.
That too calls for revamping
the lineup. :.

In a flat, bald-faced statement
without the usual embellishments
Coach Ray Schwartz gave this
week what he said was fair ap
praisal Of the Sank Centre trouble
in the Willmar game. 1.-THE boys
just aren't training"
Condition did It," Schwartz
said. The coaching staff went
into a huddle after that game.
We've decided definitely that
the squad isn't training proper
ly and therefore the mental at
titude Is loggy."
1t isn't so much they have suf-
fered physically to the extent they
play out, but physical laxity re-
fleets in the mental attitude more
than any one other factor, he said
He cited individual instances of
boys who were training on the
squad, but those who aren't are
failing in the obligation they have
to the rest of the team he said.
The coaches opinion too expressed
an obligation that the football play
ers have to the fans that requires
If they are going to play football,
they must give it all it's worth.
Irked no end by the SEEM
ingly spiritless efforts of his
first squad in the first half of
the Willmar game, Schwartz
threw in an entire second team
who not only made the first
first down for the Sank Centre
club, paved the way for the on
ly three SUGGESTIONS of the
game. But it brought out the
young freshman Don Mooney
who was the fair-haired boy Of
the evening.
OF Mooney, the Willmar Tribune
had this to say: Mooney in par
ticular, about the size Of a peanut,
was a tough lad to haul down and
his spirit and chatter were infect
ious and they popped up his bigger
colleagues"
Schwartz fastened to add in his
specially prepared statement that
all "is not lost" It's not too late
for a reversal in attitude that can
give these Sank Centre boys some
real ball games. With top card
numbers, Alexandria and Melrose,
yet on the schedule, the boys can
wind up the season as fans want it.
Coaches point to the fact that the
handwriting first appeared in the
Long Prairie game. 1t was notice
able that Long Prairie was out
weighed, outplayed and outmaneuv-
ered-but it was notable they were
not outfought. The situation wors-
ened in the Osakis game where the
invading club easily outspirited the
locals; and the climax came in the
Willmar game.

President Roosevelt may draw the

A plan for his participation in the

make short talk on conscription
and he and others would take turns
