ARMY FIVES WILL
INVADE OMAIIAS
FOR TIIREE GAME
Camps Funston and Dodge to
- Send Their Stars to Battle
at Creighton Gym
nasium. Omaha basket ball fans arc eagerly
awaiting the opening night of the tri
angular basket ball tourney that will
f be played at the Creighton gym on
t; three nights, beginning with Wednes
! day. Great interest is bciriff shown in
the star quintets of Camp Dodge and
f Camp Funston, which, with the
'. Creighton varsity five, will compete in
r the tournament, and speculation is rife
t as to its probable outcome.
;; Doth of these teams have already
invaded Nebraska and have departed
J with the honors in their possession.
iiCamp Funston has overcome the
: strong Nebraska Wesleyan squad and
J the rejuvenated Nebraska university
crew. On last Friday and Saturday
; the quintet from Des Moines also in
vaded the stronghold of the Corn
liuskers for a two-game series. The
army five split results with Nebraska,
losing the first game by a 19 to 16
score. ,Eut the soldiers switched their
lineup on .the second night and
; trampled on the Cornhuskers, 21 to 14.
Cornhuskers at Dodge.
There are three former Nebraska
captains on the Camp Dodge roster.
1 Lieutenant Ed Ilugg is a stellar guard
! who led the Cornhuskers a few years
ago, and succeeding him were Nelson
and Cam. bell, who also distinguished
j themselves while wearing Uie insignia
of the Red and White quintet. Nel
son is a forward and cops his share
of the baskets in a game. Campbell
is also a forward. '
The Dodge five has been greatly
strengthened by the addition of Vergil
Rector, formerly of Omaha Uigh. and
four years ago captain of the Dart
mouth squad that acquired quite a
t name for itself in the east. Murphy,
McCormick, Allison, Stevenson and
Casper complete the team that will ar
rive in Omaha on Wednesday. . ,
On Thursday the army five from
Kansas will arrive in charge of Lieu
tenant George 'Totsy" Clark, who is
teaching the Funston men the few
things about the game that they are
vet ignorant of. The floor contact on
.Thursday night between the two rival
cantonments promises to be one of
,the most interesting and hard-fought
Iconflicts ever wagjJ on the Creighton
iloor. Camp Funston has humbled

and Grihith asserts that on a neutral

Feb. 4. A German barrage fire at

It was ascertained later that the
American' gunners wrecked several of
the enemy dugouts and so badly dam
aged the first line positions that at
one point the Germans were unable
to occupy them Sunday.
When the bombardment had reach
ed its greatest intensity, the Germans
suddenly concentrated their fire at
two points, throwing about 250 shells
into a town in which the headquar
ters ot a certain regiment are located
and which . heretofore had been im

After the bombardment a wounded
American soldier was discovered in
a position where it was necessary to

FINNISH TROOPS
CLOSING ON REDS

General Mannerhejm Arrests
Delegation From That City;
Bolsheviki Plunder Hel
singfors. (Br Associated Fresn.)
Stockholm, Feb. 4. Troops of the
Finnish government under General
Mannerheim appear to be closing in
on the revolutionary Red Guards at
Uleaborg on the Gulf of Bothnia, ac
cording to news reaching Haparanda.
A dispatch from that point to the
Aftonbladet says the Red Guards in
Uleaborg, sent a delegation to Gen
eral Mannerheim for the purpose of
reaching an agreement with them, but
that the general declined to deal with
them and arrested the members of the
delegation as bandits.
Two hundred of the Red Guards
who left Tornea on Friday to rein
force the revolutionists at Uleaborg.
found that the railway had been torn
up a "few miles south of Tornea and
that government troops had taken vp
positions between Tornea and Kemi.
Oovernment forces also are reported
to be approaching Uleaborg from the
south.
A number of Russian officers have
made their escape from Kemi over
the ice to Haparanda. They say the
soldiers attempted to lynch them and
their commander whose house was
fired. The commander escaped. The
situation at Helsingfors is increasing
ly serious. The Red Guards appears
to be entirely in control. It is report
ed that the Bolsheviki are sending a
large body of troops from Petrograd
to Helsingfors.
- Murder by Red Guard.
A telegram "from Helsingfors re
ports the assassination in prison of
Deputy Emikkola, a leading member
of the Diet, and hints at further cases
of the same kind. The Swedish popu
lation of the city is eagerly awaiting
the arrival of the Swedish gunboat
and the three other "vessels sent to
remove Scandinavian subjects.
The Red Guards and their Russian
helpers are reported to be murdering
and plundering in Helsingors. Thirty
bodies are in the city morgue. The
Scandinavians in Helsingfors are leav
ing the city. Two trains have already
departed .for a port where four Swed
ish steamers are awaiting them. The
bank of Finland's gold reserve is re
ported to be safe in the hand3 of
the government forces.- Apart from
an unimportant group of Swedish left
socialists, the country's sympathies
are strongly with the Finnish govern
ment, but there is little sentiment in
favor of active intervention.
Red Guards yesterday attempted to
search the house of General Silver
hjelm, 80 years old. He held them
off with a revolver, killing several
of them and then committed suicide.
London. - Feb'. 3. Leon Trotzky,

of a government1 building, the dispatch
