Fulton's heavy shots caused Miske to hang on in the third round and again in the 10th when he was in a groggy condition, but with customary courage and generalship, he stuck to the game till his head cleared. Miske was in trouble several times during the combat, but his wonderful vitality and resourcefulness enabled him to weather the storm, especially in the 10th session. Miske also showed that he has one of the strongest jaws ever seen in a ring, for numberless times Fulton landed flush on the point with crash- ing force.

New Yerk, ‘Jan. 19—Trading in stocks today was. exceedingly light and narrow, even for. a week end session. Two active issues—Marine pfd. and Union States Steel—made up almost one-third of the total turnover. Ma- rine was heavy throughout ot an ex- treme rep-tion of two points without recovery, while Steel made up its in- itia] fractional decline on what seemed to be:substantial buying. Coppers ‘and oils were the strongest features, gaining 1 to 3 points on re- ports of an early and satisfactory price adjustment by the war hoard. Specialties were featured by Wilson Packing at a gross gain of almost 5 points, much of which was forfeited later. Rails just about held their ground, with moderate pressure upon low pric- ed issues. Shore covering contributed measure- ably to the firm close. Sales amount- ed to 230,000 shares. General development bearing upen the financial situation were unchang- ed. Foreign exchange was iraregular, francs yielding slightly and rubles hardening. Minor changes were dis- closed by the bank statement, actual loans decreasing by $32,500,000, with a decrease of almost $11,000,000 in re- serves. A new minimum for Liberty first 4s at 96.66 was the only feature of the bond market, second 4s selling at 96.18 to 96.12, and the 3 1-3s at 96.54 to 98.46.

By “Trapshooter.” Don’t shoot too quick;’ gét a steady line on the target and then pull the trigger. After you've had your shot let your gun remain unloaded until your turn to_shoot comes 'round again. Don't talk to your neighbor. It's disconcerning. Keep your mind con- centrated on the work in hand. It's essential to good scores. When the time comes to change places at the score don’t move until the squad moves. Gives the other tellow a show. Don'’t let the loss of a target fluster you. You can’t get them all at all times. Keep cool and get ready for the next one. Don’t get ‘peeved when the target breaks as it leaves the trap.

If Yale decides to abandon fresh- man track work this winter, the Boston Athletic Association authori- ‘ties may be able to find a worthy opponent for the Harvard freshman relay team in Princeton. The Tiger freshmen will be called out by. Train- er Keene Fitzpatrick and two of the candidates will be Braman, Jacobs, of Needham, -and Harold A. Harvey, of Exeter. Jacobs is the youth who dis- played such a surprising -stride in winning the handicap 600-yard run at the B. A. A. games last February, and his appearance as an anchor runner for the Princeton 1921 team against Harvard would be a most attractive feature. Harvey, a former Exeter athlete, is the star end of last yeyar's Princeton freshman team, who received a loose ball and scored a _touchdown that paved the way to the Tiger's team surrising victory over Yale's '21. He was captain of his class track team at Phillips-Exeter, and was awarded the trophy as best all-around athlete at the academy last winter. He is an exceptional athlete and a hurdler of promise. Jacobs, by the way, figured in the final football game against Yale, winning his numerals and displaying speed that may make him a strong quarterback prospect if 'varsity football is resumed at Prince- ton next fall. “Are We Downhearted? No!” The calamity howlers 6f baseball would do well to ponder over the fact that a soccer football game played in Glasgow, Scotland, the other day drew a crowd of over 50,000. This is the most convincing sort of proof that the people of a warring nation want tion. Great Britain _has had over three years of war. When hostilities be- gan there was the same tendency to condemn competitive sport at unpa- triotic there. as there is in this coun- try in certain quarters now.. Great Britain has learned that sports aid rather than hinder war preparation. She has learned. too, that sporting spectacles afford the best possible form of diversion for the people. The United States needs baseball now as much as ever. The attend- ance the coming season at the big league games wil prove that the peo- I}wée not only need the game, but want the continuance of sporting competi-. you, much closer .than you could ever know. From the time that you were yet an undeveloped being in your mother’s womb I have shaped your destiny for my own purpose. » In the days of Rome I created a roughneck known in history as Nero; he was a vulgar character and suited my purpose at that particular time. In these modern days a classic demon and efficient supercriminal was need- ed, and as I know the Hohenzollern blood I picked you as my special in- strument to place on earth an annex of Hell, I gave you abnormal ambition, like- wise an oversupply of egotism, that you might not discover your own fail- ings; I twisted your mind to that of a mad man with certain normal tenden- cles to carry ¥ou by, a most dangerous character placed in power; I gave you the power of a2 hynotist and a certain magnetic force that you might sway ypur people. Three Evil Spirits to Assist I am responsible for the deformed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled condition embitters vour life and destroys all noble im- pulses that might otherwise cause me anxiety, but your strong sword arm is driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment and pity: I placed in your mind a deep hatred of all things English, for of all na- tions on earth I hate England most; wherever England plants her flag she brings order out of chaos and the hateg cross follows the Union Jack; under her rule wild tribes become till- xt | €rs of the soil and in due time practi- j cal citizens: she is the great civilizer of the globe and I hate her. I planted in your soul a cruel hat- red for your mother because she was English, and left my good friend Bis- marck to fan the flame I had kin- died. Recent history proves how well our work was done. It broke your royal mother’s heart, but I have gained my purpose. | The inherited disease of the Hohen- zollerns killed your father, just as it will kill you, and you became the ruler of Germany and a tool of mine sooner than I expected. To assist you and further hasten my work I sent you three evil spirits, Neitssche, Treitschie, and later Bern- hardi, whose teachings inflamed the youth of Germany, who in good timé would be “willing and loyal subjects and eager to spill their blood and pull yvour chestnuts, yours and mine; the spell has been perfect. Playing No Favorites. You cast your ambitiou3 eyes towara the Mediterranean, Egypt, India and the Dardanelles and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but the am- bitious archduke and his more ambi- tious wife stood in your way. It was then that I sowed the seed in your heart that blossomed into the assassination of the Duke and his wife and all h€ll smiled when we saw how cleverly you saddled the crime onto Servia. I saw you set sail for the fjords of Norway and I knew you wculd prove 1an alibi. How cleverly done—so much like your noble grandfather, who also secured an assassin to remove old King Frederick of Denmark, and later rob- bed that country of two provinces that gave Germany an opportunity to be- come a naval power. Murder is dirty work, but it takes ;. Hohenzollern to make away and get V. Your opportunity was at hand: you set the world on fire and bells of hell were ringing; your rape on Belgium caused much joy. It was the begin- ning, a perfect foundation of a perfect Lell on earth, the destruction of noble cathedrals and other infinite works of art was hailed with joy in the infer- nal regions. You made war on friends and foe alike, and the murder of civilians showed my teachings had borne fruit. Your treachery toward neutral nations hastened a universal upheaval, the thing I most desired. Your undersea warfare is a master strike, from the smallest mackerel pot to the great Lusitania you show no favorites; as a war lord you stand su- AXES Hold Their Own After Ten Years.

You have taken millions of dollars from innocent victims and called it in- demnity; you have liveds fat on the lang you have usurped and sent the real owners away to starvation. You have strayed away from legal- ized war methods and introduced a code of your own. You have killed and robbed the people of friendly na- tions and destroyed their property: You are a liar, a hypocrite and a bluf- fer of the highest magnitude. You are a part of mine and yet you pose as the personal friend of God. Ah, Wilhelm, yousare a wonder! You wantonly destroy all things in your path and leave nothing for com- ing generations. Content to Take a Back Seat. I was amazed when I saw you form a partnership with the impossible Turk, the chronic killer of Christians, and you a devout.worshiper " in the Lutheran church. I confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle at times. A Mahometan army, commanded by German officers, assisting one another in massacreing Christians in a new line of warfare. When a_ Prussian officer can wit- ness a nude woman being disembow- eled by a swarthy Turk, committing a double murder by one cut of hig sa- ber, and calmly stand by and see a house full of innocent Armentans lock- ed up, the house satured with oil and fired, then my teachings did not stop with you, but have been extended to the whole German nation. I confess my Satanic soul grew sick and then and there I knew the pupil hzg become the master, I am a back pumber, and, my dear Wilhelm, I ab- dicate in your favor, The great key of hell will be turned over to you. The gavel that has struck the doom of damned souls since time began is yours, I am satisfied with what I have done; that my abdication in your favor is for the very best in- terest of hell—in the future I am at your majesty’s service.

NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST FOR ALL ENLISTED MEN To Weed Out the Mentally Unfit and to Classify Officers. ‘Washington, Jan. 20.—Application of the new psychological test to all en- listed men and newly appointed officers of the army has been ordered by the war department to aid in the task of weeding out the mentally unfit and classifying officers and men for spe- cial service or promotion. It was an- nounced today that'the chief of staff had approved the recommendation of the plan by Surgeon General Gorgas end that it would- be carried out at once. Special buildings will be provided at each of the thirty-one divisional training camps for the psychology ex- perts. -A total personnel from the medical department of 27 majors, 51 captains and 54 first lieatenants 62 sergeants, 62 gorpomls and 620 enlist- ed mén, will be necessary to man the divisional stations and provide a staff in the surgeon general's office. A military psychological school will be established at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., where fifty psychologists will bé en- tered monthly for a minimum of two months special training. This plan is the outgrowth of psy- chological examinations conducted at Camps Lee and Devens, where 80,000 men and 5,000 officers were subjected to tests devised by Major Yerkes of the medical corps, to determine their military suitability. Summarizing the results, the department announcement says: “Approximately two per cent. of the Keen Kutter drafted men as they appear in the camp are so seriously defective in mental development that they are either menaces or nuisances in mili- tary organization.” Jr. The Household BULLETIN BUILDING 74 FRANKLIN STREET NOTICE Taken by virtue of an execution to me directed, and will be sold at pubHe vendue to the highest bidder at_the public signpost in the Town of Nor- Wwich, in front of the Western Union Telegraph Co., eight days after date, which will be on the 23th day of Jan- uary, 1818, at 10 o'clock in the fore- noon, to satisfy said execution and my fees thereon, the following described property, to wit: 395 velvet hats, 33 felt hats, 7 plush hats, 10 beaver hats, 26 velvet tams, 43 satin_hats, 2 chil- dren’s woolen hat set, 5 motor caps, 73 straw hats, 108 straw shapes, 36 asst. children’s’ hats, 126 rolls asst. size ribbons, 8 rolls veivet bands 5 rolls beaded hat bands, 1 box volvet hat bands, few dozen hat pins in case, !5 gold filled rings, 1 box jabot collars, boxes laces, trimmings, Temnants, et 1 box mourning veils, 1 box patterns, old pieces goods, etc., 3 boxes assorted veilings._ 35 boxes assorted flower trlm« mings, 2 boxes maribou trimmings. boxes asst. fur trimmings, 9 boxes assL wings and feathers, 25 boxes asst. feather trimmings, 1 box laces, ete, boxes hair, 4 boxes feather pompoms, 2 drawers assorted laces, trimming pieces, 2 drawers containing rolls of wire, 5 drawers straw, 15 3-4 yards velvet remnants in drawer, 1 drawer fringe, etc.. 1 drawer ‘hat linings, etc., 1 drawer paper hat bags, 2 drawers trimming remnants, 1 \wer card- board, 2 drawers paper, 1 drawer can- vas, etc., 1 closet paper, 13 children’s fur sets, 1 box black fur, 1 box cherry trimmings, 2 boxes old remnants, 1 small scarf, 2 stands with feathers, 1 showcase and flowers, 4 tables 2 hand mirrors, 3 wall mirrors. 1 showcase containing feathers and velvet ribbons, 4 muffs, 1 case containing buckles, about 4 1-2 dozen hat stands, 7 chairs, 1 pot artificlal flowers, assorted hat frames, 1 hat pin stand_and pins, 1 drawer with hat bands, 1 drawer old pieces, 1 desk, 1 safe 2 hat cases. 1 cash register, 1 stove, 1 clock, 1 Oak- land touring car, model 1915 Dated at Norwich, this 15th day of January, 1918, MEYER BLUMENTHAL, Constable.
