SET FOR
1 Mayor s Proclamation.
To the People of the City of
Omaha: ' i
An event of more than' passing
importance is scheduled to take
place in our city Saturday after
noon, ' and I bespeak for it tins
patronage of every man, woman
and child who can possibly attend.
The boys from Camp Funston and
Camp Dodge are to engage in the
very popular game of foot ball, and
the proceeds of this game are to
be devoted to a mighty worthy
project 'the providing of a gyrrw
nasium and swimming pool at
these camps.
So many demands are made now
adays for worthy causes, that it
has become second nature for us
to "dib up" and forget it im
mediately. But these boys 'have
ttfought it Incumbent upon them
selves to make returns for what
ever is extended them in the way
of financial help and to say that
every patron of the game today
will get his money's worth and
then some, is putting it very
tamely. -
- Go out to the Creighton campus
and root for either side and for
both sides and show your Uncle
Sammie'a boys that you are with
them heart and soul. So many of
the things that they hid to give
up when they left their own homes
will be made up for if these camps
camps can be equipped with these
necessities, that it is up to us to
see that they are furnished with
out any more delay.
I ask especially that the busi
ness man attend this game and that
they give their employes an op
portunity to do so. And when the
whistles begin blowing at 9 o'clock
this morning, don't bother Central
to death to find out what it's all
about. Just rush your Saturday
work along and if you don't have
time to invest in a chrysanthemum,
go without it you can donate
what it might cost you to the boys'
cause and do your share toward
making this game the splendid
success it must be if we are the
right kind of Americans,
South High Rims West
Point; Score 21 to 0
In a game yesterday at West Point,
Coach Patton's scrappy eleve i ran
away from the West Foint team.
The game was fast from start to fin
ish, but the packers' goal was only
in danger once, that was when .a long
pass by the West Point team brought
them to the five-yard line, but a stone
wall on the part of South ruined their
only chance for a touchdown.
The first touchdown for South High
came when Banner made wide end
run. evading the West Point backs,
and ran 40 yards for a touchdown.
Voltz kicked goat. The second quar
ter opened with the ball in the pack
ers possession in the middle of the
field. It was lost on downs and the
West Point squad carried it to the
15-yard line where it was lost on
downs. South then carried the ball
to its ' own t goal by , straight line
plunges, Emigh going over for the
second touchdown. The half ended
with the . ball in West Point's pos
session on the 40-yard line. The third
quarter was entirely in favor of the
Point lads. They tried long passes
with much success, and their trick
plays proved good ground gainers.
It was during this quarter that they
came nearest to scoring.

ceipt of the Lenine-Trotzky peace
and armistice proposal.
Acceptance No Surprise.
No surprise is felt in diplomatic
circles here at the speedy acceptance
by Germany and Austria of the Len
in proposals. It had been assumed
that with no intention whateyer of
accepting the substantial demands of
the Bolsheviki, the German and Aus
trian chancellories would not miss
this great opportunity to eliminate
Russia as an offensive military force
for the many days, weeks, or even
months during which the skilled Ger
man diplomatists might protract the
negotiations for an armistice and
peace. In fhe meantime, of course,
there mav be released for active serv
ice the British, French and Italians
on the west front hundreds ofthou
sands of Germans. Austrian. Turkish
and Bulgarian soldiers maintained on
the eastern front. '
Must Neutralize Scheme.
It will be for the inter-allied con
ference in Paris to adivse some means
of neutralisncr this German' scheme,
possibly by influencing the Bolsheviki
element: itiscu mrougn an exposition
of the duplicity and real aims of the
Germans or by recourse to the ele
ments in Russia represented by Gen
eral Kaledines and other leaders who
have refused to acknowledge the con
trol of the Maximalists.
The letter of Lord Landsdowne
suggesting a moderation of allied war
aims which has aroused such a bit
ter feeling in England, in the opinion i
of some of the diplomatic officials
here, prove a powerful factor in
keeping, the , Bolsheviki . within the
entente1 allied circle by Ifttlng .them
perceive that their own doctrines re
garding peace are not lacking in sup
port among entente statesmen.

Opera National Game in
Italy; San Carlo Singers
Bat .300 in the Pinches
Music critics say that grand opera
is Italy's national game; that the Ital
ians are not only players, but fans;
that they keep score, hits, runs, er
rors, especially errors; that the small
boys fight in the street over the mer
its of singers and write to the sport
ing editors asking who leads in the
league of singing, who is the best
tenor, the best baritone, etc., just as
boys write and fight about base ball
players in this country.
People in Italy want to know who
is the better tenor Caruso or Sala
zar. just as people in New York want
to know who is the better player Hap
relsch or Benny Kauff. Averages,
are kept and every now and then
there is an argument about the re
spective merits of the old and new
singers. They "knock" or "boost"
singers in Italy as we "knock" or
"boost" base ball players in America.
. Difference of opinion makes nase
ball and horse racing in America.
Jealousy, it seems, difference of 6pin
ton as to which , man has a better
right to the lady or the lady the bet
ter right to the man, seems to make
grand opera. The Italians take a
vast interest in all these things.
Opera companies, like base ball,
have managers. Fortune Gallo of

FREMONTERS BACK
FROM BATTLE LINE
Congressman Stephens and R.
L. Hammond' Return From
France, Declaring War's
End Is Long Way Off.
Fremont, Neb., Nov. 30. (Special
Telegram.) Firmly convinced that
the end of the war is yet a long way
off, Congressman Dan V. Stephens
and Ross L. Hammond of Fremont
returned from their visit to the west
ern battle front.
Congressman ' Stephens arrived
Thanksgiving forenoon and Mr. Ham
mond followed rnday forenoon, he
having remained in New York on
business.
The Jremonters covered 1,500
miles of the French and Belgium
battlcfronts and bring the word to
Fremont that the barbarities of the
Prussian soldiers have not been
painted blac kenough.
What you have been told of the
terror inFrance does not exaggerate
it. "It can't be exaggerated," said
Mr. Stephens. .
"It it all true, too true. Those .who
are paying the awful price, tht. world
at large, including the German people,
are victims of the brutal system of
Prussian militarism." '
Congressman Stephens blames -the
Prussian -war leaders for the brutali
ties practised bv the German soldiers.
Mr. Stephens and .Mr. Hammond
brought -back many touvemrs they
picked up along the battlefront and in
the towns that have been destroyed
during the war.
During the trip along the front,
the Fremonters were continually
within the sound of the roar of battle.
Once a shell exploded within 100
yards of their party, but none of the
members was injured. Plans for an
overflow meeting next Monday night
when the war visitors tell of their
trip are being made If the weather
is favorable the committee in charge
of the reception to the Fremonters
look for a Crowd that will tax any
building in the city and plans has
been made for another hall where Mr.
Stephens and Mr. Hammond take
turns speaking ;-

the race, got himself a few, stars like
Salazar, Antola Craft, 'Royer, De

pionship. His captain is Charles R.
Baker. Some day Gallo may play the
Metropolitan for the world's operatic
championship. "Gallo is the "Miracle
Man" of the opera. He can take a

win the championship with it the

can do that gets by.- 1
Salazar is one 'of the strongest men
in the Grand Opera league. He is a
regular Hans Wagner in strength and
hitting ability. His brother played
the part of Ursus, the strong man,
who snatches the girl off the horns of
the angry bull in "Qho Vadis." Sala
zar comes from the Basque provinces
in Spain, where "pelota ball" is the
national game. He is. one of the San

other is Agnostini. who reaches up
and hits awfully high ones, causes
much "rooting" and scores many
"runs." He also take's, everything
that comes his way, Italians, how
ever, are not the only ones that like
opera. The Americans like it, too.
The Forty-fourth Street theater, New
York City, has been packed with fans
recently to hear the San Carlo club
pennant winners, sure, this season.
A call came that an Armenian regi
ment would be formed in New York
for service overseas and that the
French government would train the
men for service against the Turks.
Colvai. immediately enlisted, arrang
ing his property affairs, here in the
event of his death in war.
As soon js he enlisted in the New
York Armenian regiment his manner
changed. He vowed vengeance on
the Turks and declared he would
"get" one Turk for every member of
his family killed. He is the only sur
vivor of his family. "I imagine there
will be frightened Turks when that
New -.York regiment of Armenians
get into action," added Mr. Donahue.
Mr. Colvan sailed last month and
arrived in France nearly three weeks
ago.
Brain Lags Behind Legs
As Athlete Scoots Home
Ned Egan, famous wittier of pen
nants in the Central association, is
contributing an interesting series of
articles to a newspaper syndicate
dealing with base ball in the bush
leagues. One of his opening stories
has J)an O'Leary, who : managed
Mason City last season, as the hero
and one of Dan's raw rookies as the
goat. The storv runs sofhething like
this: , ..; .
'OLeary's team was a run behind in
the ninth and taking the last turn at
bat. He had a runner on first when
his best hitter came to bat. The bat
ter hit a sharp single to right, in be
tween the fielders. . :
, The fellow on first had a good start
and made third without even draw
ing a throw to catch him. O'Leary
was coaching at third and signaled
for him to pull up at that bag. But
the runner had his head down, tore
past third and made for the plate like
an express train. He pUle 1 a tri
mendous slide, but was caught easily,
the ball being there at least 20 feet
ahead of him. Naturally that made
the third out and settled the game.. .
O'Leary was frothing w;th rage at
this foolish display of bone base run
ning u..at even a Ty Cobb-couldn't
have got away with. He w&' ed over
to his young player, who was brush
ing the dirt oft his clothes, and,
steadying his voice as much as his
feelings would permit, said quietly:
"Young man, let me call your at
tention to something that perhaps
you didn't notice. When you made
that slide into the plate your brain
hadn't reached third base yet"
