an Important part In th downfall of the

at Intervals. The South Omaha team was
composed entirely of Patton'a high sohool

exceedingly rough,' and it was with dif

succeeded in quelling th rough tactics

Th "Leans" captured the game last

to 4, and In getting their lead the
t-eane" mad a total of two fouls. Th
Fata" made none (evidently too fat),
Harry Nixon, once a Cornhuaker In hla
early days, waa mostly responsible for
the "Lean" victory, and besides playing
a rattling good game In teamwork, made
two baskets.
Paul Shields, sr.. weighing something
less than ino pounds, along with Dean
Ringer, a former Cornhuaker star and
now a 2t0-pounder, mad thing rather
hot for the "Leans" at first, but sad to
say their wind failed them. When th
ball landed under th "Fat" goal, how
ever. It waa Bhielda who always cam
near scoring a two-pointer.
The game waa fully worth the money
and waa probably the moat unique ever
played In South Omaha. The audience
greatly appreciated the serious efforts of
the players and were fairly rollicking
with laughter during the entire contest

THIRD OF ALLIES'
STRENGTH IN FIELD
Lloyd-George Says Will Cost Ten
Billions This Tear' to Conduct
War with Full Forces.
BRITAIN WILL STARVE FOE
LONDON, Feb. 16. The countries
fighting against Germany, Austria
and Turkey up to the present time
have thrown only a third of their
strength into the field.
To maintain this force and to
bring the remaining two-thirds into
action will cost 2,000,000,000 ($10,
000,000,000) during the current
year.
This announcement was made in
the House of Commons today by
David Lloyd George, chancellor of
the exchequer, who, with Winston
Spencer Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty, gave the British public
perhaps a closer view of the machin
ery behind the great struggle than
any that has been afforded since the
outbreak of the war.
Mr. Churchill declared amid cheering
that Oreat Britain finally had decided to
clamp on every, ounce of sea pressure to
choke off Germany' food supply in re
taliation for the German submarine pol
icy, while Mr. Lloyd George drew addi
tional cheering by reference to loans to
countries which he said expected to throw
In their lot with the allies. These co un
tried tho chancellor did not name. It was
the first time that a reference was made
In Parliament to such expectations.
The announcement of the government's
decision with relation to Germany's food
supplies came almost colncldentally with
the receipt of two dispatches from the
United States, one aaylng that Count Von
Bemstorff, the German ambassador, had
infermcd the Washington government
that Germany was willing to abandon its
submarine policy, provided Great Britain
ceased Interfering with cargoes of food
stuffs, and the other saying that he again
had advised neutral shipping to avoid
those waters which Germany had de
clared woull become the dangerous mili
tary area three days hence.
Mr. Churchill disclosed for the first
time the total naval losses aa the result
of the war. These, he said, were up
wards of 5,000 officers and men, a ma
jority of them victims of submarines.
Mr. Lloyd George gave the details of
the financial arrangements of the allies
as they were decided on at the Paris
conference of the British, French and
Russian ministers of finance, and put Into
round figures what heretofore has been
gueBsed the remarkable increase in the
productivity and efficiency of the Rus
sian people by the prohibition of the sale
of ' vodka. Tills productivity and ef
ficiency he placed as high as 60 per cent.
Great Britain, the chancellor of the
exchequer aaid, had resources which
would last for five years, and France,
perhaps, sufficient for three years.
