THE GAME.

—~——————
When the game’s played with woman—boys play the game fair.
Be a liar with all men—for men never care.
But a woman loves truth—like a rose loves the aun.
And the heart of the flower and woman are one. 3
When you learn hearts are trumps In the great game of 11/e^
When something tells you, "What you need Is a wife;”
When your man-soul Is longing for something to cherish.
For a love that will live when all other loves perish.
Don’t try your old tactics of trying to look wise,
Nor mistake for a trick the love-light In her eyes.
When the stake la a woman’s heart, play the game fair,
The man woman loves—Is the man who is square.

Report From Athens Indicates
Constantinople Is Threat
ened—Extent of Activ
L JBl ities Wot Known.
RAID ON EGYPT ABANDOWED
Berman Lines Apparently Not
Weakened In West—Attack
Shifts In Poland—Rus
sians Enter Hungary.
London, Jan. 4.—The sultan of Tur
key and his court are preparing to
leave Constantinople, fearing the fall
»f the ancient Turkish capital, accord
ing to advices from Athens. It Is ex
teedingly difficult to obtain any clear
dea of the operations of the Turks, but
lie attack on Egypt seems to have been
tbandoned indefinitely.
Whether the allied fleets are prepar
ing to shell the forts along the Dar
lanelles and the works protecting Con
ttantinople is not known, but it is as
i lumed that the sultan’s preparations
p tor departure presage an offensive
movement by the allies. Former dis
jatehes stated that the embassies of
he Germanic allies were preparing to
lepart for the interior.
It is known that a large fleet of French
tnd British warships are now in tho
lediterranean and Adriatic waters.
Thursday, it was reported, that Pola,
the great Austrian naval base, was un
ler bombardment by 30 or 40 French
tnd English warships. One French
warship was sunk there this week by
j' in Austrian submarine.
Germans Gain Ground.
y > £ The latest news available from the
,western battle front shows that little
T’/ progress Is being made by the allied
Jorces and rather indicates a sporadic
renewal of the German offensive, with
resultant slight gains In the Argonne
ind French Flanders. These operations
San hardly be classed as a general
Serman offensive movement In the
west, such as Is still being conducted
In Poland, but the strength the Ger
mans are showing seems to make it
plain that they have not weakened
ippreeiably their western army by
transfer of troops to the east, nor has
the pressure's of the allies broken their
grip on Belgium and France, from the
North sea to Metz.
4 Germans On Offensive.
The German attack in France and
Oelgium, intimated in reply to the of
fensive movements of the allies has
developed to such a point that the al
lies now are on the defensive along the
greater part of the line. The extent
Df the German movement is shown j
by today's French statement, -which ;
speaks of a series of night attacks ,
against the allies along the front. I
These onslaughts apparently were not I
In great force however, and the asser- j
tlon is made that they w-ere all re
pulsed with ease. As to the'result of I
recent fighting in Alsace and the 1
Argonne along the eastern portion of
the front, there is a sharp conflict in
the statements from Berlin and Paris.
The German communication says fur
ther ground has been gained In the
Argonne and specifically denies the
claims of the French war office that
half of the Alsatian village of Stein
bach has been captured and that the
p French are making a further advance
w there.
The Paris announcement asserts that
some of the territory lost to the Ger
mans in the Argonne has been regained
and that three new lines of houses have
been occupied in Steinbach.
occmmvj »»oeiA ridbca.
General Joffre apparently Is still
preparing for a general attack. By
their tactics of feeling out the German
line by attacks here and there the al
lies are playing a waiting game, pend
'■ Ing the time when, with the assistance
4 »f reinforcements, they deliver a con
:entrated blow at some strategic point.
With full knowledge that vast num
bers of men are being trained in Eng
land, Germany, it is recognized here,
must be preparing to meet their entry
Into the -war. It Is agreed that much
Uepends upon the quality of the new
formations on both sides. The English
view is that Britain’s new troops will
be the cream of the country, while
Germany having sent in her finest
forces at the outset, must depend for
reinforcements upon those less fit
physically.
Moving Troops East.
There are again reports of the
movement of German troops from the
west to the east. Advices from Am
sterdam state that 200,000 Germans
passed through Cologne on the way
past and it is suggested that they are
being sent to General Von Hindenburg
preparatory to another great effort to
batter through the Russian lines to
Warsaw.
The Germans are still attempting to
press forward In Poland, but to the
south the Russians have driven the
Austrians further back—more than 60
miles in all. It is again reported that
the Russians are pouring across the
Carpathians into Hungary, causing the
inhabitants to flee.
In Poland the German attack ap
parently has shifted to the southward.
The Russian statement mentions fight
ing of particular Intensity at Rawa,
which is 30 miles south of Sochaczew,
the recent center of German activity.
, Herman attacks there, as well as in
/ :ast Prussia and in the region of
Mlawa, in Poland, near tne east Prus
lian border, are said to have been re
pulsed.
Austrians Defeated.
The Russian war office announces
!hat another defeat has been Inflicted
ipon the Austrian forces In Galicia,
vhose advance from the Carpathiana
£ 'ecently was checked with serious con
• lequences to them.
It is asserted that fortified Austrian
positions near Gorlice were destroyed
tnd that 3,000 prisoners were captured.
The Russian statement says, how
ever, that the victory was won only
ifter a hard battle and that fighting
still continues. Indicating that the Aus
trians are still capable of offering de
termined resistance.
Austrian war ships have bombarded
Belgrade, the Servian capital, from
4f which the Austrians were driven short
iy after they had occupied it. Some
Jamage to property was caused by the
oombardment, but so far as known ne
Jves were lost.
I
Belief Now Prevails Battleship
Formidable Was Sent to
Bottom By German
Submarine.
Paris, Jan. 4.—The British battleship
Formidable, which sank in ;t'ne English
channel Friday morning with the
greater part of the crew, was torpe
doed off Portsmouth by a German
submarine, according to a report cur
rent in Paris.
Portsmouth Is the chief naval station
of England. It is situated at the
southwest extremity of Portsea island,
187 miles and southeast of Southamp
ton, and 65 miles southwest of Lon
don.
Portsmouth harbor is four miles in
length with about an equal width, and
its entrance is only about 400 yards
across. It has been said that in this
land-locked haven the whole British
navy might ride in perfect security.
The arm of the English channel with
which it communicates is the road
stead of Spitshead.
London, Jan. 2.—The Daily Chronicle
states that survivors of the battleship
Formidable report that the vassel was
torpedoed both fore and aft early Fri
day morning and sank almost imme
diately.
The Chronicle’s Brixham corre
spondent, who is authority for the
above, says the captain of the trawler
Providence, which rescued 70 surviv
ors who had escaped from the battle
ship in a cutter, states that other Ash
ing boats were close at hand. Tho
captain expresses the belief that other
survivors have been rescued and taken
to Dartmouth. He saw no other boats
belonging to the Formidable, however.
Thus far only 150 men of the For
midable’s crew of 750 are known to
have been rescued. A light cruiser
picked up 80 and a’Tor bay trawler, 70.
Among the rescued are eight ofAcers
and six midshipmen.
WATCH CASE COMPANY
WINS ANTI-TRUST SUIT
Philadelphia, Jan. 2.—The United
States district court here today handed
down an opinion refusing the govern
ment’s petition to break up the Key
stone Watch Case company, on the
ground that it is a trust in violation of
the Sherman anti-trust law.
The court in its decision, said:
“The defendant declares that the
policy of boycott had been given up
before the bill of complaint was filed,
und there is some testimony to this
pffect. but the circular has never been
withdrawn or negatived and the com
pany’s resolution of January, 1B10, has
lever been rescinded. We have no
doubt that an injunction should be
granted but we see no sufficient evi
dence that the public interest requires
us to break up the existing corporate
mtity.”
The suit was brought three years ago
igainst the Keystone Watch company, '
which is a combination of several
watch making concerns in various
parts of the country and aleged bv
:he government to control 80 per cent
if the business. The government
charged that the company restrained
py forcing dealers to use its goods ex
ilusively under a threat of boycott if
[hey dealt with rival manufacturing
concerns.
BROTHER OF DR. ANNA
HOWARD SHAW IS DEAD
-• i
Boston. Jan. 2.—Dr. James S. Shaw,
well known in theatrical circles for
nany years and a brother of Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the Na
ional Woman Suffrage association,
lied yesterday. Mr. Shaw was exam
ning physician for the Actors’ Fund
pf America. He was born in New Cas- '
tie, England, 76 years ago.
PASTOR AND SERVANT
MEET DEATH IN FIRE
Believed Home of Cleveland
Priest Was Set on Fire By
An Incendiary.
Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 4.—Rev. Steph
en Makara. aged 42, pastor of St. John's
Greek Catholic church, and his house
keeper, Mrs. Fedor, were burned to
death early today when fire practically
destroyed the parish house directly at
the rear of the church. Police believe
the fire was of incendiary origin.
Rev. Mr. Makara was found dead in his
bed when firemen finally fought their
way through the flames, which had
gained much headway before an alarm
was turned in. The housekeeper was
lying in the hallway near Rev. Mr.
Makura’s room, where she is believed
to have been Overcome while hastening
to arouse the priest.
The police learned today that Rev. Mr.
Markara, on November 19, was assault
ed by two men and that he was re
leased from a hospital only a few days
ago. The men, according to the po
lice beat the priest and robbed him.
That they robbed him to conceal the
real motive of the attack is the be
lief of the police.
STEAMER BRINDILLA
SEIZED SECOND TIME
Standard Oil Tank Ship Is
Grabbed Off Scotland—Will
Soon Be Released.
Halifax, N. S., Jan. 2.—Word was
received here today that the American
tank steamer Brindilla, whose arrest
by a British cruiser and detention at
Halifax last October was the cause of
diplomatic correspondence between the
United States and Great Britain, re
sulting in the steamer’s release, again
had been intercepted off the coast of
Scotland and taken to Aberdeen. The
Brindilla’s first seizure off New York
last October, resulted in a vigorous
protest by her owners to the United
States government. At that time the
Brindilla had aboard a cargo of oil
and was bound ostensibly for Alexan
dria, Egypt. A British cruiser con
voyed her to this port. The British
suspected she carried contraband for
Germany.
The state department at Washington
made representations to the British
government which resulted in the
Brindilla’s release, after she had been
detained at Halifax a week.
BELGIAN BURGOMASTERS
ARE LOYAL TO COUNTRY
Amsterdam, (via London), Jan. 2.—A
lispatch received here from Ghent de
scribes a meeting of Belgian burgo
nasters to deliberate on methods of
•aising the German war levy of 480,000,
)00 francs in the course of which there
vas witnessed an extraordinary out
burst of enthusiasm for Belgium. The
ocal German garrison made no at
.empts at interference. The hall in
vhich the meeting was held was
lecorated with Belgium flags and
bortraits and plaster casts of the king
md queen of Belgium. The Belgian
:ivil governor of East Flanders, Her
nan De Baetz. presided. He lost no
ime in making it clear that the meet
ng had taken place under the
lovereignty of the king and queen,
vith whom M. DeBates declared, we
Lre more than ever united.
At these words the entire assembly
irose, filled the hall with shouts of
'Long live the King; Long live the
[ueen, and long live Belgium.”
The meeting agreed that the German
lemand should be met by a general
evy on individuals.
OPEN COAL FIELDS.
Washington, Jan. 2.—Secretary Lan<»

bther charges.
CREATE ME PIE
FOR 108 SEEKERS
Unless Senate Comes to Rescue
Assistant Postmasters Will
Lose Jobs—Blow at
Civil Service.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 4.—Efforts
of democrats in congress to break
down the civil service have been nu
merpus in the last two years. In sev
eral instances these efforts to return
to the spoils system have been suc
cessful. The House has just witnessed
another such attempt and it promises
to be as much of a victory for the
spoilsmen as others that have pre
ceded it.
This time it is in the case of the as
sistant postmasters. The democrats in
congress have been hankering ever
since March 4, 1913, to rind a way of
getting rid of the republicans who are
assistant postmasters and who are
under the civil service. They believe
they have at last found the way. Two
or three other efforts have been made
to accomplish this, but they have not
succeeded, because the assistant post
masters are civil service employes and
not easy to get at.
The method used was to provide in
the postoffice appropriation bill for
abolishing the office of assistant post
master in first and second class of
fices. In place of assistant postmas
ters, new officials known as superin
tendents of finance and superlniend
ents of mails are provided for.
Unless the Senate takes a different
stand and opposes the change, there
is no doubt in the mind of any prac
tical politician here as to what will ■
happen. The assistant postmasters,
where they are republicans, will speed
ily find themselves legislated out of
jobs. _ _ _

SING SING WARDEN
AGREES WITH KIPLING
Believes No Sensible Man Can
Have Policy—Opposed to
Death Sentence.
From the New York Herald.
Immediately after arriving here from
Boston, Thomas Mott Osborne, the
newly appointed warden of Sing Sing
rrison, who Is to take office December
, declared In his room In the Belmont
hotel that he agreed with Rudyard Kip
ling that no sensible man has a policy.
He added he had expressed his con
tempt for the whole prison system, as
human nature was not taken into con
sideration In the punishing of felons.
"A great many evils can’t bo elim
inated, of course," said Mr. Osborne,
"except by legislation. At Sing Sing
there Is no place for the men except
the damp stone cells. Confinement In
such wretched places is terribly degen
erating.”
Asked If he was gratified at his ap
pointment, he replied: "Only as a
man who Is gratified over an Important
piece of work where he has a great
opportunity. In my letter to Superin
tendent Riley, as already has been told,
I wrote that I realized pretty clearly
the conditions that prevailed. Up In
Auburn you know, they look upon me
as at least half a crook.
“I probably was on more confiden
tial relations with the prisoners In Au
burn than any outsider has ever been.
You see, I not only served a week in
that prison a year ago, but when the
scarlatina epidemic broke out last June
I was quarantined with the prisoners
for two weeks. Then I also did pick
and shovel work in one of the road
camps for a couple of weeks." .
Mr. Osborne said he had no right to
say what changes would be made until
he got to Sing Sing and saw for him
self what could be, done. He added
that years ago he declared It was fool- ,
ish to take office with object of ac
complishing one particular thing.
“I expect to do everything I can that
will accomplish the turning out of as
many men as possible who are desirous
and able to go straight”
"Are you opposed to capital punish
ment?" he aBked.
“Ye^ I am absolutely against it.
Why the taking of life should be wrong
where a few persons are concerned and
right where many are concerned In It,
even under due process of law, I do not
understand. My conception of prison
Is that the present system is all wrong,
so Is capital punishment. It is found
ed on the notion of revenge, and I be
lieve that the prison system should be
founded on reform and rehabilitation."
IN THE MORNING OF
SECOND BRONZE AGE
Copper Metal of Future—Be- ;
comes More and More Es
sential to Civilization.
_______
From the Kansas City Star. i
Copper Is the metal of the future. '
The many mechanical and electric In- }
ventlons that have crowded the last ]
half century literally eat copper. Day ]
by day the consumption Is Increasing, i
This is the morning of the second i
bronze age. 1
The ultimate destiny of copper can- ’
not be prophesized. Mining, mechanical,
electrical, hydraulic gas, in fact tech- |
nical engineering or all different dis- t
Unctions finds Its growth firmly rooted <
in the beds of this base metal. The (
amount consumed in telegraphy and *
telephony alone Is enormous today.
Copper combined with tin was the :
first metallic compound known to man; (
for bronze, which is the technical name ,
of this compound, has giver, its name t
to archaelogical epoch, and students i
have many metallic relics, such as do- s
mesUc implements, arms, and orna- *
ments, etc., which they can study to *
give them a hint as to the manners and
customs of the people of that prehis
toric age. Unfortunately the knowledge j
of the art of tempering copper, which j
was known to the ancients, has been ^
lost, for it is a fact that this metal was "
cast, not only Into shields and breast
plates for the Roman soldiers, but Into
sharp edged weapons and tools.
In America copper was used exten- r
Bively by the aborigines, whether they 1
were Indian, Aztec, Mayan, or Incan, s
The national museum of Mexico con- £
tains' many specimens of both imple- 1
ments and utensils cast in the red c
metal, of remarkable design and work- c
manshlp.
Copper Is a beautiful metal. Its bril
liant red color distinguishes it from all c
others. When polished It has such a 1
light reflecting quality that Us sheen 1
rivals the luster of gold. It Is to a high f
degree malleable and ductile. Iron Is <
the only metal which exceeds It in ten- 1
acity. It ranks second to silver as a 1
conductor of electricity, and is much
preferred to the latter metal in this use. 1
It does not rust readily. 1
The distribution of copper In na- ‘
ture is extraordinary. The metal is t
found in all soils and ferruginous min- i
eral waters and ores. However, It is r
not only distributed throughout the
earth's crust, but also traces of it are 1
found in seaweed, certain mollusks i
(often being disagreeably apparent In
oysters, in straw, hay, eggs, cheese,
meat. In our own anatomy and even in
our blood.
While the United States Is the lead
ing copper producing country of the j I
world, still some of the Latln-Amerlcan t
countries show unmistakable evidences
nf large deposits. Australasia, Africa, t
Bolivia. Canada. Chile. Cuba, Germany, 1
Korea, Mexico, Norway. Peru, Russia,
Spain and Portugal, and even Japan,
are all copper producing countries.
The greatest mass of native copper
found was discovered tn the I.ake Su
perior region In 1857. This copper t
nugget was 55 feet long, 22 feet at its
widest point, had a maximum thick- ’
ness of eight feet, weighed about 420 t
tons and was 90 per cent copper. i
The history of electricity Is the his- 1
tory of couDoer. It serves In the con
struction of dynamos and motors. Great
quantities are rolled into wire annually
for submarine cable and transmission
lines for light and power Bervlce—In
fact, more and more copper la being
employed In the construction of electri
cal apparatus, from the gigantlo gen
erator in the dynamo room to the most
Insignificant key of the switch that
turns on the light or starts the motor
whirling.
Electrical railroad work obviously has
taken enormous quantities of copper.
Street car lines of cities take annual
toll In many tons of this red metal. Tha
railways that have Installed special
electrical circuits point to another field
wherein copper will be consumed in
large quantities.
While the uses of copper are numer
ous and important, perhaps of even
more importance is the service of the
metal as an alloy, silver, various brass
es, bronze and German stiver. Copper
Is added to these soft metals In order
to give them hardness. Thus we find It
In the composition of gold that goes to
make Jewelry; in the composition of
silver coins; In gunmetal, bell metal,
bronze and aluminum bronze, and very
extensively in all kinds of marine con
struction work. Tobin bronze, which
contains a large percentage of copper.
Is a specific compound that goes to
■heath the bottom of modern battlo
■hips.
Developments In Egypt.
From the Indianapolis News.
The British press accepts the establish
ment of a protectorate over Egypt and
the Sudan as the. second and last step to
ward annexation. The first was the dec
oration of martial law. Annexation of
the vast North African territory by Great
Britain Is by no means a matter of form,
is some suppose it to be. In working
toward annexation in Egypt, England is
’ollowlng the policy followed in the case
>f Cyprus, which ones, nominally tribu
tary to the Porte, is now claimed by Eon
Ion as a British possession. Until the pro
tectorate, Egypt and the Sudan were nom
nally provinces of the Ottoman empire. .
Egypt adds 1,350,000 square miles of terrl
ory and 14,000,000 people to the British em
pire. Of these 14,000,000 all but a few hun
Ired thousand are Mussulmans. In es
abllshlng a protectorate Great Britain
iliows no fear of a Mohammedan holy
war; nor does there seem to be cause for
'ear.
To all intents and purposes, the whole
Egyptian and Sudanese regions are now
iarts of the British empire. There Is thus
wought to a close what may be termed
he third period of Egyptian historj ae
leparate from that of a foreign power,
fhe first period—the ancient—was one of
wealth and military glory; the second—the
llohammedan—of warfare and servility;
lie third of awakening and education un
ler the tutelage of France and England.
Vow a fourth period Is entered. Egypt
■ame prominently into the history of Eu
ope in 1775, when Ottoman supremacy
was restored. The appearance of Bona
parte and the resultant clash with the
English, the struggles of the Mamelukes,
he bombardment of Alexandria by the
British and the ascendancy of Mehemet
VI1 followed. Mehemet All, though he
'ought against the beys, whose cause had
>een espoused by England, did Egypt
treat service In helping to free It from
tbirkish power. In 1854 Said Pasha came
o the front. The Suez canal was built
>y the French, and telegraph offices and
lanks established by the British. The
profligacy of Said Pasha's successors
irouglit British bankers Into prominence
ind the purchase of shares of Suez canal
itock by England under Beaconsfield's
riddance linked the fortunes of the Euro
lean power and the decadent government
n the east.
From that hour, when Englishmen en
ered financially Into the interests of
Egypt, British authority dates. Repeated
iroposals were made to get out, and eev
ral times cities were .evacuated. But
here were always circumstances, at home
>r abroad, which prevented. Up to the
ast, the suzerainty of the Turk was ao
:nowledged, and tribute paid, although
he British financial adviser was really
ho power in administration. As the year*
lassed, and as the Gordons, Cromwells
nd Kitcheners came and went, the cer
ilnty of English control developed. Kitch
ned was sent to Egypt as a minor officer
n 1883. For almost 30 years he partlcl
Rted In campaigns and government
utles. Kitchener at Khartum In the Su
anese campaign, Kitchener at Fashoda
nd Kitchener at the war office when
treat Britain takes virtually the last step
a annexation, link successive stages of
lodcrn history. It Is a strange and slgni
cant development that brings Kitchener,
rho was responsible for French evacua
lon In Egypt, Into co-operation today
dth the French In Europe. The eonclu
lon Is Inevitable that Kitchener had much
o do with the action Just taken with ra
ard to Egypt.
