Lock Haven Sent Big Crowd Here for
High School Game.
Lock Haven returned the compli-
ment paid them by Bellefonte last
year by sending a big crowd here yes-
terday for the second football game
between the Bellefonte and Lock Ha-
ven High schools in the Griffin cup
contest. A special train brought
practically the entire Lock Haven
High school, scores of citizens and the
Nypen band to Bellefonte, arriving
here shortly after two o’clock.
. At the depot they were met by the
Bellefonte High school with Our Girls
band, of Milesburg, and the High
school band. The entire crowd then
paraded to Hughes field where the
doughty football warriors were al-
ready warming up for the contest.
Preliminary to the game, however, the
various bands kept the crowd cheer-
ful with their music.
While the sun shone brightly dur-
ing the morning the skies were over-
cast in the afternoon, but notwith-
_ standing the chill in the atmosphere
the crowd that watched the game was
the largest ever seen on Hughes field.
Lock Haven High won the game
by the score of 19 to 0, but it was a
good game at that, both teams play-
ing splendid football.
At Pittsburgh the score was Pitt

Berlin Reports Americans Made Good
Fight and are Excellent Prisoners.
Berlin, Sunday, Nov. 25, via Lon-
don, Nov, 27.—(A. P).—A report re-
ceived from the western front describ-
ing the American troops in action
says:
“Independent American units have
been thrown into the trench line. . The
felt hat has given way to the English
fashioned steel helmet, and the whist-
ling and bursting of shells have be-
come familiar sounds to American
tars.
“For the first time since they have
been participating as independent
contingents the Americans have tast-
ed the real earnestness of war, even
though it was but a minor hand-to-
hand scuffle. But this time the shells
did not merely fly over their heads,
but into the very trenches they had se-
lected, and presently, with an infer-
nal noise, these things which the
young soldiers believed to be a firm
protection began to quake and burst.
“And hard on the heels of this a
firm attack by our onrushing Bavar-
ian reserves forced the way into the
American trenches and musket shot
and bursting hand granades relieved
the artillery fire.
“Our new opponents made a most
determined defence, - and desperate
hand-to-hand fighting set in. Butts
of guns, fists and hand grenades were
freely brought into play, and many
men fell to the ground before the rest
gave up resistance and surrendered.
After a bare hour the German storm-
ing troops were back in their own
trenches with booty and prisoners.
“There they stood before us, these
young men from the land of liberty.
They were sturdy and sportsmanlike
in build. Good natured smiles radiat-
ed from their blue eyes, and they
were quite surprised that we did not
propose to shoot them down, as they
had been led in the French training
camp to believe we would do.
“They know no reply to our query,
‘Why does the United States carry on
war abainst Germany?’ The sinking
of American ships by U-boats, which
was the favorite pretext, sounds a tri-
fle stale. One prisoner expressed the
opinion that we had treated Belgium
rather badly. Another asserted that
it was Lafayette who brought Ameri-
ca French aid in the war of Independ-
ence and because of this the United
States would now stand by France.”
Needed Long Ones.
“Pair of stockings, please,” an-
nounced the portly man as he puffed
up to the women’s hosiery counter of
a department store in Herald square.
“Silk 7” asked the tall girl with the
queenly figure.
“No, heavy lisle or cotton,” mum-
bled the rotund one with an effort at
an apologetic smile.
“What size?” ‘
“It doesn't make any difference.
Just give me whatever is handy,” he
replied.
The girl rested a white hand upon
a slender hip, and surveyed him with
a look of such infinite pity that he
felt called upon to explain.
“You see,” he spluttered as his full
face blossomed inte a full flush, “I'm
a great believer in old-fashioned rem-
edies. I've had a beastly sore throat
for a week, and I can’t cure it because
my socks won't reach around my
neck.”—New York Herald.

MOMENTOUS WAR NEWS.
Some of the Important Developments
of the Week.
Among the week’s developments in
is the rumor that
Norway is considering entering the
war on the side of the allies, and the
assertion that if it does so Germany
will invade Denmark. It has been
known for some time that a strong
pro-German sentiment was fomenting
in Norway and the powers in control
may be unable to check it.
ALLIED WAR CONFERENCE.
The representatives of the chief
nations at war with the Teutonic al-
lies are gathering in Paris for the
inter-allied conference, at which are
to be discussed momentous ques-
tions for more unified action in the
prosecution of the war.
The American, British and Italian
missions already have reached the
French capital. They are led, re-
spectively, by Colonel E. M. House,
David Lloyd George, the British
prime minister, and Vittorio Orlando,
the Italian premier.
RUSSIA IN DIRE STRAITS.
Inside Russia the unsettled condi-
tion of affairs daily seems to be
growing more intense. All commu-
nication now has been severed be-
tween north and south Russia, even
foreign embassies in Petrograd being
unable to get in touch with Odessa
and other points in the south. Unoffi-
cial advices are to the effect that the
Russian northern army is in dire
straits for food, having had no bread
for several days.
BRITISH IN FONTAINE.
Around the village of Bourlon and
Bourlon wood and about Fontaine
Notre Dame, in the region of Cam-
bria, the British troops are keeping
hard after the Germans. In both
sectors General Byng’s forces again
have made considerable progress, es-
pecially at Fontaine, where, having
been evicted by the Germans after
the initial drive of last week, they
again have obtained a footing in the
town and have advanced almost to
the main street. A heavy concentra-
tion of enemy machine guns in the
Folie wood did not succeed in stop-
ping the British advance. The south-
ern portion of Bourlon village also
was entered by the British after a hot
fight, but after having rescued some
of their troops who had been isolated
there for some time, the British
withdrew to their original positions.
ITALIANS REPULSE BITTER ATTACKS
Possibly in a supreme endeavor to
break the Italian line before the
British and French reinforcements
enter the fray, the Austro-Germans,
comprising an entire division, have
attacked the Italians in the Brenta
valley, on the northern sector of the
Italian front. Like similar, though
smaller attacks during recent days,
the offensive was stopped by the Ital-
lian artillery and infantry, the enemy
suffering heavy losses in men killed
and made prisoner. Four additional
attacks between the Brenta and Piave
rivers also were put down with
heavy casualties and everywhere the
Ttalians held their original line.
THE ACTAEON SUNKEN.
Another’ American steamer, ‘the
Actacon, a former German vessel,
has been sunk by a German subma-
rine. Boats containing twenty-one
survivors have landed in Spain, but
three other boats, with ‘additional
members of the crew, are missing.
TO TALK PEACE ON SUNDAY.
Sunday next has been set by the Ger-
mans as the date for a conference
with the Bolsheviki leaders with the
purpose of negotiating an armistice.
The arrangement for the discussion
followed a visit of representatives of
the Bolsheviki to the German military
authorities on the Teuton side of the
fighting front in Russia. The Ger-
mans apparently gave quick acquies-
cence to the proposal of the Russians
for an armistice looking to an ulti-
mate peace, for only a few hours in-
tervened between the visit of the Rus-
sians to the German line and accept-
ance by the Germans of the proposi-
tion that was made to them.
While the negotiations are expect-
ed to embrace an armistice “on all the
fronts of the belligerent countries,” it
is certain that the entente allies will
give no heed to the overtures, either
of the ]
radical section of the Russians who
long have desired Russia to cease
fighting, or of the Germans, who for
even a greater period of time have
been endeavoring to put into opera-
tion negotiations for a peace that
would prove a suitable one for them-
selves and their allies.
