Money Market,Continued Very Firm, All Call Loans Holding at 6 Per Cent. New York, Dec. 21L.—The authorita- tive statement that all reports con- cerning the next government loan are meraly conjectural and decidedly pre- mature and signs of a collapse of the peace negotiations between Russia and the central powers contributed to the further strength of the stock mar- ket today. Rails and the more representative industrials moved to highest levels in the afternoom, but shaded a point or more toward the end, the reversal synchronizing with the definite an- nouncement that action on the railroad situation is to be postponed until after the holidays. Sales aggregated 650,- 900 shares. 2 ‘With the many larsgé financial op- erations now under way, the money market continued very firm, all cail loans holding at § per cent. Time rates were steady at 5 3-4 to 6 for mixed collateral, but in point of fact funds were almost unobtainable, except for the shorter maturities. Exchange on France, Russia and Spain, moved more in favor of those countries, rubles.being in fair demand for the first time in weeks. All the forelgn bonds augmented yesterdays’ gains, some by 2 to 4 per cent. Domestic issues also displayed firmer tendencies. Liberty 4s sold at 97.10 to 97 and the 3 1-2s at 98.34 to 9810. Total bond sales, par value, amounted to 35,375,000, U. S. old coupon 4s rose 3-8 per B i3 EEEEEEEEERRERRRRRNREY ‘Anacenda Cop Atchiwon. T & § Atchison. T & S AL, Bie pan .

T glanced into it and then real- ized the reacon for his interest. I will never forget the sight that met my Baze: my face was one mass of clotted blood and mud. 1 removed my steel helmet and felt my head. I couldn’t separate my hair from the cake which covered it, and I was zlad that no one who loved me (if there were any) could see me at that particular minute. My mind ran back to the moment when T recoverad consciousness after being hit by the timber from the mine. I remembered finding my steei helmet Iying beside me, and automatically jamming it as it was, full of dirt, on my bleeding head. 1 felt an over- whelming desire to -vash my heac and asked for “warmes Wasse: (warm water), but the guard thought )is a privilege only for Germans and réfused. 1 had learned the password from the doctor, so told him I wanted to sce the Chef Arzt. This seemed to have the required effect. I was tak- en to him and he relyctantly gave permission. ‘While T was there 1 again inquired about having the man's hand dressed, but was told the same story as before. Bean Soup and Black Bread. About 6 o'clock we were each given a tin bowl of bean soup and a chunk of-black bread. The soup was quite thic-and nourishing and we soon put it in a safe place, as this was the first meal we had had all day. A pail of acorn coffec was passed around, and with a tin mug we dipped out what we required. The cigars and liquors were dispensed wiith for that evening. After we had finished eatinz we settled back on the stretchers for a much-needed sleep. Up till then we had felt too tired and_hungry to sleep, but at last the wonderful feeling of drowsiness was coming’ over us all. We almost succeeded in forgetting our troubles for a lttle while, bui shortly after the meal a German doctor and two assistants came around and examined the tags on each man. Very few had had ah injection against te- tunus, and were given it then. The quantity of serum injected and the date were ndded to the information of the tag. Difficult Conversation. While this was going on I had a moSt pecular conversation with a Red Cross orderly. He knew a few words of English_and French, and I a few zords of French and Gérman. We spoke very slowly to cach othe Whenever we did not understand we would trv a word in one of the other languases. .This systepn -succeeded beautifully.

PENN ANNOUNCES FOOTBALL SEHEDULE FOR 1918 ‘Eight Games on_Quaker’s Card—Geor- gia Substituted For Michigan. For the frst time in a quarter of a century the DUniversity of Pennsylva- nia will not play football on Thanks- giving day next year. The annual game with Cornell in 1918 will be play- ed on the Saturday before that national holiday. The football schedule given out last night shows that instead of ten sames will be played next year. The cnly important change is substitution of Georgia Tech. of Michigan, which has joined the Western Conference. The Darimouth game in 1918 will be played in Philadelphia, and the 1319 cortest in New York instead of Boston. The schedule follows: October 5, Franklin and Marshall; 12, Bucknell; 19, Swarthmore; 26, Pitts- burgh at’ Pittsburgh; November 2, La- fayette; 9, Dartmouth; 16, Georgia Tech.; 23, Cornell. Two new causes will appear in the contracts between Pennsylvania and the colleges it plays. >ne provides that the contract may be cancelled a t any time when it be- comes necessary for ejther party to abandon the remainder of its sched- ule . The other cladse provides that the ‘members of neither team shall gather together, formally or informally, for the purpose of general conditioning, or participate in any form ' of _football 3 | practice, prior. to September 15 1918.

I hoped I was, but didn’t know for sure, Rather than go into a lonz explanation I told him T was. He secmed very much pleased, and then attacked my family one by onme. I was getting a little fed up with this, so he switched him off the family trée on to his life history. At the conclusion of an hour we were friends, and he confided to me that we were due to leave at 11 o'clock on another train, and that he was coming with us. I saw at once that he would be a good man to stand in_with, so took pains not to offend him. - The, inside jnformation 1 had receiv- ed proved correct, and about - eleven we were taken to the station and again boarded a train.® This time By Licut.

YOUNG TO SUCCEED HERZOG AT SECOND John McGrow H; Youth Developed Texas Into Star Infielder. Charley = Herzog’s _latest flareup against Manager McGraw of the Giants will undoubtedly result in a mew player at second base at the Polo Grounds- next summer and it became known recently that for some time the Giants’ manager has been carefully grooming Ross Young for the position. New York has seen very little of Young, although Scout Dick Kinsella discovered him down in Sherman, Texas, in the Western Asso- ciation, a couple of years ago. He a mere boy then, but was the sensation of that league. He went to Marlin with the Giants last spring and immediately took the fancy of Manager McGraw, who proclaimed him as the most promising youngster that * has _broken into the major leg.- gues in 15 years. The only trouble with Young was that he lacked experience, so last season McGraw sent him te Roches- ter, where he improved rapidly under the guidance of Mike Doolan, the old shortstop of the Phillles. who was one of the smartest inflelders in his day. Doolan taught Youns a lot of SIX MILLION TARGETS THROWN IN REGISTERED SHOOTS DURING 1917. liinois Trapshooting Clubs Tossed 821,835 Hargets for the Shooters and Excel in This Respect. . By PETER P. CARNEY, Editor. National Sports Syndicate. Towa plucked the honors for holding the greatest number of registered trapshooting tournaments and for or- ganizing more gun clubs than any other state in 1917, but to Iilinois goes the credit of throwing the greatest number of targets, with Pennéylvania second. Without the Grand American Handicap Pennsylvania would have ex- jceled, as the difference between the states js a little more than 200,000, while more than 300,000 were thrown in_the Grand American. Illinois trapped 8§21,885 targets for its shooters, which, as far as we know, is the greatest number that has ever been trapped in any one state in one years. Records of the Interstate as sociation for 1917 show that 504 tou: naments were held, and that 493 have made reports. In these 493 tourna- ments 6,175,848 targets were thrown. This is the greatest number of targets ever thrown. The record of 1916 was 6,366,110, which was two millions more than' the vear previous. $50,000 | ] 9 Delawar s { Virginia_ .
