The river is In as good condition to
day as It ever was, but there Is no

commerce, that would not be greatly
benefited by Improvement. The continua

permit light-draft vessels to use the

Is no other form of Improvement that
would give commensurate return a."

Omaha fans have been hearing the
praises of Charley peters, who halls from
Papllllon, for a long time. Peters has
been known to members of the wreMtllng
fraternity for a number of years, but lis
has never done much profeysHnal wrest
ling becnuse he 1 aa never cared to be
come steadily engaged in the game. As
a result, for a man who lives so close to
Omaha, he is pretty much of a man of
mystery.
It Is believed he will go' up ag.ilnst a
pretty tough customer In the Oreek. W.
H. Barton, his manager. Htnued the
Stecher-Jjewis match at Kvansvllle, and
he says Kuvaros would laut almost as

Mr. Kuvaros must be Lome wrestler and
Peters will be hard put to it to win.
The match Tuesday evening will be the
first attempt of the newly organised
Omaha Athletic club in the promotion
line, in case this match la a success It is
the plan of the club to take an active
Interest In the promotion of clean wrest

lore Hopeful Feeling in London
When News Comes Rome is
Landing Men in Albania.
FRENCH ARMY IS REINFORCED
LONDON, Dec. 17. There la a
more hopeful feeling In London with
regard to the Balkan operations now
that it Is definitely announced that
the Italians have effected a landing
on the Albanian coast and that the
Anglo-French forces, which have
fallen back toward Salonikl, have
been strongly reinforced with men
and guns, including some heavy
naval weapons.
It is not stated bow large a force
the Italians will send to the assist
ance of the Serbians and Monte
negrins, but from the fact that the
official account intimates that land
ings have been made at more than
one port, t is taken for granted that
an army of considerable proportions
Is to be sent across the Adriatic.
Menace Itlgrht Flank.
This, with the Montenegrins, and Ser
bians who escaped from Albania, wiil be
a serious threat to the central powers'
right flank, while they can never -look
on In Idleness to the concentration ot an
army at Salonikl. which at a chosen mo
ment would undertake an offensive, and
to the gathering of Russians In Bes
sarabia. It Is anticipated, therefore, that the
Germans will strike at Salonikl before the
AtiKlo-French forces grow too strong, and
It Is bcjlcved, with that end in view, they
are now negotiating with the Greek gov
ernment. If their plans include the participation
of Bulgarians In ' th attack they are
likely to meet with opposition from
Greece, as Greece Is strongly adverse to
any Bulgarians crossing its frontier.
This applies also to some extent to iho
Austrluns, whose ambitions always have
been for a port on the Aegean, preferably
Salonikl.
On the whole, therefore. It Is thought
here that the Greeks might prefer to see
the entente allies remain there until the
end of the war. In fact Lord Robert
Cecil, under secretary of foreign affairs,
said in the House of Commons today that
the Anglo-French plan waa to keep the
central powers from that city In accord
ance with the. wlsho of Greece. -
Reports that th Germans are prepar
ing for an offensive in the west persist,
but thus far there has been little but
artillery engagements and aerial fighting
and raids.
General Townshend. commanding the
British forces in Mesopotamia, reports
the repulse of another attack at Kut-El-Amara,
sine which the Turks have been
quiet.
