2The game was one of the hardest
fought and most exciting ever staged
in- Omaha and kept the fans keyed
upi to the keenest pitch of enthus
iasm throughout.
;,,The score was a tie repeatedly and
several times opposing foemen were
laid low in tangles with opponents.
'jjht Nakens got away to a one
point lead in the first half. The first
half was featured by close guarding
ami the score was only 6 to 5 in
favor of the Nakens when the period

London, Jan. 4. Maxim Litvinoff.
who has been appointed Bolsheviki
ambassador to Great Britain and who
said yesterday that he probably would
return to Petrograd. has decided to
remain in London pending the receipt
of his instructions. His photograph
is printed prominently in the news

He is described as bpino- hrnarl minH.

English institutions and England,
where he has lived for a decade.

M. Litvinoff 's wife is an FnollcJi
woman and he is an old friend and
associate of LeViinc. He is declared
to be ,a whole-hearted supporter of
the Bolsheviki. with whom he annar.

Dr. Connolly Sells Wyoming Farm
For $380,000; Cost Him $2,000

former county commissioner, told members of the Omaha-Wyoming Oil
company, at a meeting in R. E. Sunderland's office, that he received
1380,000 for half of a 160-acre farm in Wyoming for which he paid $2,000
three years ago.
, His farm is located in the oil region. He stated that he received pay
ment in full and still Jias 80 acres left. The deal was closed last week.

Chronicle he speaks as if he is re
solved to take it.
"My task as ambassador," he says,
"will be to disseminate the truth about
Russia and to dissipate misunder
standing and misinterpretation of the
motives, character and purpose of the
workmen's and soldiers' government.
It is grossly mischievous to represent
the Bolsheviki as pro-German, anti
ally or as mere pacifists. They op-i
pose replacing Prussian militarism by
Russian, French or English militarism."
Against Kaiserism.
M. Litvinoff declared his emphatic
belief that by the present negotiations
and propaganda among the "German
soldiers in the east Trotzky and Le-
nine are contributing to the downfall
of kaiserism more effectually than the
allies fighting m the west. He con
cludes: "I am sanguine enough to imagine
that the Russian and German armies
on the eastern front some day will
inarch together against the common
foe of the world's proletariat in Ger
many itself and perhaps in other
countries, too."
