Congressman Smith
 Aiding Dr. Devenis
U. S. Government Moves to Effect Release of Former
 Waterburian Detained By Russians in Lithuania

Congressman J. Joseph Smith, of Waterbury, yesterday received word from Breckenridge Long, assistant secretary of state, that the United States government is taking steps to demand the release of Dr. Mich ael Devenis, formerly of Waterbury who was taken prisoner by the Rus sians when they occupied Lithu- ania.
 The congressman received 8 tele- gram from Long which said in part that steps will be taken for the repatriation of Devenis because 1t is the "reconsidered opinion" of the state department that Dewnis "did not lose his citizenship and is there fore entitled to the protection of the government"
 A graduate of Yale Medical School. Dr. Devenis practiced medi- cine here for some time before he left for Lithuania six years ago. He is the husband of the daughter of the former mayor of Kainis, Lith- uania, who is now living with friends in OaLville, having escaped with her three children shortly be- fore the Russians moved in.
 Cong. Smith has been bringing the matter to the attention of the state department for several weeks in behalf of Mrs. Devenis. 1nci- dentally, Cong. Smith was instru-

JEHovAHS WITNESSES.

Why was Jehovah God permitted tribulation to fall upon those that serve Him in spirit and in truth? God has permitted it for two pur- poses: first, to allow the visible part of Satans organization to don their garments of Identification and let 1t be known that they are against the Theocratic Government. A second reason why tribulation has come is to afford opportunity for those who are in a covenant with God to prove their integrity to Him. Study begins at 7:30 o'clock. Admission is free.

nuts to prove their thankfulness. The city dweller made up his mind that he had been mighty clever in granting leave for the extermination of raccoons. He fig- ured the incident was closed, but 1t wasn't. One frosty evening when the dry leaves rustled out side and the wind rattled the shutters, this gentleman had call- CTS. A pack of hounds, three red- checked kids, and smoky lan- tern were on the porch when he opened the door. The elder of the boys cleared his throat and said, Were goin' coonin' tonight. Mis- ter, so we come aroun' to tell you, in case you heard the hounds"
 Gosh! Have you ever heard hounds on a warm scent? If you have you know what those kids meant They wanted their friend to hear the sweetest music in all the autumn woodlands. (Yes, rural America is worth sav- ing for a long time to come).
 Speaking of hounds, reminds us. Deer are now hustling around the frosted meadows evenings. They'll eat apples, carrots, cab- bage, or almost anything that hasn't been frozen solid. If the picking is poor, you'll find them paving the leaves over for acornS. Somebody got a deer, the other day, over near the Pomperaug.
 If any native ever passes out a quarter of venisOn without being asked for it, he either considers you one of his best friends or he has shot the side-hilI salmon on your land and knows you'll prob ably find the trace.
 Lots of white folks could have taken pointers from the Oolored people who used to comb the. brush for votes for their favorite Negro governor. Yes, Connecticut always used to have Negro gover- nors. and they made mighty smart executives. too.
 Negro elections were held long after slavery was abolished here in Yankeeland. Servants were en. cOuFaged to vote, regaFdeiess 0f their politics; paFades were heIdi feasting and moderate drinking was the order of the day. During the late 18th Century, Derby and points down the Naugatuck Val. ley furnished the Negro governors whe had the last word over our e0leFed folks up here. Hartford furnished some outstanding aasky executives, tee.
 Negro governors were e0neern- cd with subordinate jurisdiction and policing for their people. They seldom stepped over the line and they always had the support Of their white associates, except during the Revolution when our folks were kouchg about anybody assuming any authority, It's too bad we did not continue the eils- tom. 10 all 0llP history, n0t Q slns gle Negro governor ever declared himself ia gav0r Of the Merit eys~ tem.

SOUTH
 BRITAIN BRIEFS
(BY BILL GARRIGUs)

Smoky Jenson claims that the trouble with America Is that most politicians lack the sense to see beyond their own voting district. Town officials are content once the town election has again placed them in their positions of limited importance. State officials are seldom more than passingly interested in national contests.
 Maybe America doesn't want to be saved? But it's worth Q more determined effort to pro- tect it than is any other country on the face of the earth. South Britain is a part of America, and that is why we're interested).

Those rangy basket ball lads of

their backs today from Coach Staff

ing away their initial victory of the

home court last night, the Eagles

vania Military College, SO to So
Beaten in two previous starts, the
Eagles last night had plenty in a
basket ball way.
Out in front all the way against
the visiting Cadets from Chester,
Pa, the Eagles cooled off in the last
quarter to score but points. But
up to that time, paced by the &C
curate shooting of Barty Reese,
Junior, they had run the heels off
the smaller foemen.
Gus Frizzell, rangy guard, was the
ball of fire in the first half, scoring
four field goals. Where he left off
in the second half, Reese took over,
with the aid of some shifty and ac-
curate passing by Teammates Etchi-
son, Byham and Barnsley
American University led at half
time 33 to Is, but the visitors caught
the scoring spark in the last quarter
and piled up 10 points, with Co.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 18.-Thanks
largely to its junior forward, Jimmy
Herman, Georgetown University's
basket ball team left here today with
its fourth victory in five games this
season.
Despite the fact that he played
only q minutes Of the game, Herman
scored % points-almost the entire
difference as his Hoyas walloped
Canisius College, 53-35, here last
night. Eighteen of Kiernans points
came in the first half at the end of
which G.. U. led 1917.
Finding themselves on a short
court, the Hoyas started off with
lightning-like passing attack which
demoralized Canisius' defense and
left it wide open for the Georgetown
marksmen. The hosts used a zone
defense against G. U. at the start
of the second half, but succeeded in
holding their conquerors only to 13
points less than they accumulated
in the first period.
1t was the Hoyas' last game until
after the Christmas holidays, when
they will resume competition against
their old rival, George Washington,

COLLEGE STATION, Tex. Dec.
19.-Quarterback Marion Pugh, the
man who created one of the biggest
question marks of the 1910 football
season, is back in the saddle again
and there's joy in Aggieland.
Little more than two weeks ago
the rangy, wind-burned lad-the
Southwest's premier passer, best
runner on the Texas Aggie club and
canny signal selector-was a hob
bling cripple.
For one brief, stumbling minute
he tried to play in the Texas game,
but his leg behaved like a wooden
prop and he dragged off the field.
Behind him he left a detected team
that seemed to grope around with
out him.
The zinging bullet passes he had
completed for a .583 average over
the season were missing. The bark
of his signal calling that made the
Aggies one of the best ground-gain-
ing teams in the Nation wasn't
there.
The Aggies lost that game, TO,
despite some valiant efforts by
Marland Jeffrey, Pugh's reserve.
With it went Rose Bowl invitation.
Now. as if by magic, Marion
Pugh's ailing leg has healed and
he's as frisky as a young lamb.
He'll start against Fordham in
the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas on
New Year Day.
Fans haven't stopped asking one
question since the Texas game:
What would the Aggies have done
with Pugh in the gamer"
Offensively, Pugh is rate das the
Aggies' prime threat-not Jarrin'
John Kimbrough, twice All-Amer-
lea fullback. He finished the season
the leading runner of the club,
with an average of 4.63 yards per
carry; was the top passer.
Pugh called signals in rocking
scrimmage sessions yesterday but
laid off the running.
Standout of a brisk two-hour
workout was Kimbrough, who had
hoped out of a plane only a few
hours earlier after a delayed trip
back to College Station from New
York.

Terp, Clemson Quints
Seeking Consolation
In Game Tonight
Clash in Opening Part
Of Benefit Twin Bill
On Baltimore Court

Maryland and Clemson basket ball
squads will travel together to Balti-
more tonight to take part in the
double bill at the Coliseum in which
Oregon and Baltimore U. will pro-
vide the second part. The Terps
and Clemson play at 8:l5. The
Tigers are housed in Ritchie
Coliseum at College Park.
The twin bill is sponsored by the
Boumi Temple Mounted Patrol for
the benefit of the Shrine crippled
children hospitals.
Clemson and Maryland, Southern
Conference rivals, will be looking
for consolation in their game, as both
have lost their only two starts this
season.
Maryland practiced lightly yester-
day while Clemson was dropping its
second game of it's trip to Richmond
u, 52-45. which last Saturday beat
Maryland, 1896. The contest ap-
pears as a near tossup, but the
Tigers will be slight favorites.
Oregon, always a power, will meet
a good Baltimore u team that
hadn't been beaten this season.
Oregon nosed out Baltimore in e
thriller last year.
Helen Franz, queen bee of Balti-
more u, will tossup the ball to start
the first game.
Ranking Maryland table tennis
players will stage exhibitions before
the games and between the halves.
Another attraction will be turtle
race that will be put on by the
Boumi committee.
