The Auditorium will all be fixed up today with the big pulling platform installed in the center of the building so as to be in full view of everybody, no matter where they may | be, and the decorations and the flags of | the varjous nations entered will be up. Four pulls will be held tonight, as every other night of the event. Thus all eight teams take part every evening and each team pulls each other team one time. By this series of elimination there can be no dispute as to place in the final stand- ing. put Le Bron to Referee. Bert Le Bron, who is of French de- scent and therefore a neutral as no team representing France is entered, has agreed to referee the pulls. Jack Prince, the veteran promoter who is staging the event, declares it will be his biggest success in the way of tug- of-wars. Prince has staged innumerable tugs all over the country. The first one | he ever put on was at the coliseum twen- ty-five years ago and that was consider- able of a success, But the pull this year will be even bigger says Jack. “I'expect over 15,000 persons to attend during the week,” sald Prince. “Tonight you will see at least 3,00 persons on hand, and perhaps 5,000." Examine all Pullers. All eight teams are in the best of con- dition. They will, however, all be ex- amined by physiclans before they are al- lowed to"take part in a pull. The exam- inations will occur every night so that by no chance one of the pullers may suffer from physical exhaustion. Six men will pull on each team. Nine men are allowed on a team, thus mak- inz three substitutes, George Green's band will furnish the music. The bandmaster has his musicians all trained in playing the national airs of the countries taking part so that there will be no slip 'twixt the lip and the in- strument. he countries represented in of-war and the team captains are as fol- lows: American—Frank Greenman Sweden—Kenneth Lundquist.

'WashingtonVVins Foot Ball Contest Played in the Rain PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 2—Playing in & rain that marred the tournament of roses, the Washington State college foot ball eleven defeated Brown university, 14 to 0, here today in a game that fea- tured the city's annual New Year festi- val, Vigorous assaults on the Brown line and constant bucking tactics kept the Rhode Island athletes continually on the defensive. They held Washington score- less in the first half of the game and even imperilled the goal of the western- ers on one or two occaslons, but they tinally were beaten back on the water- soaked fleld {n the third and fourth quar- ters, Washington getting a touchdown and goal in each.

Just to liven things up Dad Huntington sprung another new one on Omaha bowl- ing circles, by pulling off a big New Year's eve party at his alleys. Special matches were played for prizes by both men and women bowlers. Miss Lols Nes- | bit won first prize in the women's con- tests with 201, Miss Rauber 2d with 1 Miss Bruck 3d with 191, Miss Goerne 4th with 187, Miss McGreer Gth with 181 and Mrs, Evans 6th with 179, For the men Jimmy Jarosh won first | prize with 244. Other prizes were won by G. Toman, J. Melster, C. Zelst, W. Hageman and J. Kieny. Refreshments were served tosall and a five-plece orchestra added tone to. the festivities.

And so (ar every conference seems only to have more interest in the business community than the progress of the war. Since the Franco-Prussian war Ger- many has become an industrial state, while Austria-Hungary has remained es- sentially agricultural, WIith the excep- tion of Bohemla, Moravia and Lower Austria, which Includes Vienna, all the other provinces of Austria are purely agricultural, and iungary is overwhelm- ingly so.

Nevertheless, both politically and mili- tarily, a closer union between Germany and Austria is generally regarded as an absolute necessity, and will doubtless continue to be so long after the war is ended. But the problem as to how this is to be brought about is exceedingly complex. By high protective long maintained duties Austria has an economic existence independent of Germany, and, Indeed, even opposed to German interests.
