The agricultural department of the Friends'. Mission having plowed with tractors thousands of acres of the shell torn fields is now engaged in completing the thrashing of the grain They have also distributed through public sales at low prices 18,000 chick ens, 6,000 rabbits, 1,000 bee colonies , and numerous goats, sheep, pigs, cat- ' tie and horses. The horticulturists of the mission.-are now engaged in the free distribution of .22,000 fruit trees, five to a family. "The relief department ot the mission Is now finding work for women who are unable, on account ot weath er, to work outside. . Brush making and white and colored embroidery is also proceeding on a large scale. Classes in carpentry' for boys and sewing -for girls are being conducted. ' A group of Quaker relief workers endeavoring to meet the serious situation in Serbia caused by the great number of orphan and destitute children, have established an orphanage near Lescovatz, one of the Serbian industrial centres.

The milk will be sold by the , mission at less than cost to the Child Welfare centers and various rocietles taking csre of, children. Feed will be .shipped -from America and $5,000 worth of linseed oil cake is r.ow on Its way across.' . . It is estimated that S4.6C will fur nish milk for a child for six months. A larye proportion of the Vienna chil dren are so afflicted with tuberculosis and rickets caused by malnutrition that they are beyond help, but etrenul ons efforts are being made to save the remainder. The Friends mission has also made an arrangement with the trade unions for the manufacture of 1500 children's suits daily from cloth shipped from England. It is planned that relief work be extended to the mining centers as coal is the crux of the Vienna problem and school and hospitals are closing through lack of fuel while factories cannot resume operation. flew Paris, 0.

PRISONERS BEATEN WITHOUT KICK FROM DETZER TESTIMONY

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK. Dec. 17.

Madden and Frank L. Hoyt, in the presenco of Captain Detser. who did not protest. A new angle was brougnt out wnen Shepherd testified that Private Fred M. Yates, now a military prisoner who previously testified againat Captain Detzer, had been challenged by tne captain In bis LeMans headquarters. to a fight "man to man." This challenge. Shepherd testified. flolowed the rearrest of Yates, after he had escaped from Detzer's custody. Yates he said, accepted the challenge, although only half the size of Detzer, Shepherd during testimony, brought a laugh when he turned toward the ac cused on several occasions and asked: "Isn't that true, Captain." Newton W. Gilbert, of Indiana, for. nearly vice governor general of the Philippines, was formally introduced into the court today as associated counsel for defense. TREATY, RAILROADS, TALK OF SENATORS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. piscussion of a treaty compromise continued today in . conferences among Republican and Democratic senators, but the general feeling seemed to be that there would be no formal move to open the fight until after the holidays. There was- talk of an unofficial conciliation committee and a round table meeting of the mild reservation Republicans and the Democrats who are pressing for action, but the leaders doubted whether either suggestion would prove practicable (for the present. Senate leaders in charge of the railroad bill talked today with DirectorGeneral Hines, who said he informed them that he had no Information from President Wilson, regarding disposition of the railroads.

Pack, president of the American Forestry association iifa formal statement today urged the passage of the Polndexter bill providing for a survey of the pulp wood timberlands in the northwest with a view to relieving the newsprint situation.

C, Dec. 17 Ad ditional and almost complete returns early today from yesterday's special election in the ninth North Carolina congressional district did not materially change the result which showed Clyde H.

"SOL" GOLDBERG, HAIRPIN MAGNATE, IS STUNG BADLY (Chicago Herald and Examiner) The prospect of a confidence man selling an "air bag" to a mental Colossus, who put the hump in the hair pin, invented a submarine destroyer, and evolved a process for renewing auto tires that made millions, smacks of humerous fiction. All the humor is deleted from the tale told a grand jury the other day by Sol Goldberg, the genius in question. He paid $400,00 for the "airbag" patent. Indictments were returned against Clyde Smith of South Bend., Ind.. and Harold Lane of New York. Conspiracy to obtain money under false pretense is the charge. Smith deserted his tire shop in South Bend when "Lane let him in on" his scheme. Smith paid a Mr Danford $7,500 to meet the millionaire Inventor. Mr. Smith met Mr. Goldberg and glibly unfolded the tale of ih s "invention." His "air bag" would cast and cool 200 tir.es. where only six had been cooled before. Sol cast a cold eye on the

New York. There he met the astute Mr. Lane, who posed as the agent for a widely known tire company. "Undestand you've got the rights to the new air bag invention," said Mr. Lane. "Now my people would like to ..." Mr. Goldberg hastened to South Bend and sought the young "in ventor." "I gave him $50,000 cash, $100,000 In Liberty bonds and ten personal notes for $25,000 apiece," related the hairpin kfng. "All he had was a repair shop." Goldberg, who is president or tne Hump Hairpin company, and lives 500,000 recently when he sold his new tire renewing process. When the new company's stock was placed on the market, it eclipsed all nrevious records for aviation. In 1917 Mr. Goldberg was called to! Washington with his "submarine destroyer." He floated a model in a bathtub, merely pushed a button and, poof! tho enemy was spurlos verBesides these trifles, Mr. Goldberg presents feminity with 18 million hump hairpin3 a day.

Out across the Pacific the little yellow men of the mikado's land are rooting for the American sport. They have been doing all sorts of hard things to their opponents at Vladivostok. They have beaten the Russians, twice their weight and size, got the Frenchmen so excited they . could not play, and worked the jiu-jitsu stunt on the Yankee soldiers when the latter started off with real horse play. According to William P. Larkin, over-seas director of the Knights of Columbus, when a little yellow man grabs hold of a husky copetitor on the gridiron and puts that jiu-jitsu charm to work the play is all off. Honorable Mutsamara is always bound to come out "on top." And underneath Mm may be some 300 pounds of good Russian, Bolshevik! or British weight. The Knights have sent a complete football outfit to the Siberian troops for the coming spring months when ; the weather gets real sharp and there i -s very little mow. Mr. Larkin has t been hearing about the victory of the ; Japanese teams through Garry Mc : Oarrv. Knlzhts of Columbus secretary I " ' in Siberia. On several occasions It has been made an unwritten law among the umpires that no jiu-jitsu be perpetrated in a contest. But invariably the 'ittle brown men forget and 'n the rough and tumber go are compelled to invoke "the bring 'em to earth" hold. In the tug of war, baseball, marathons and other sports the allied troops are able to keep the Jap in place, but when it comes to football the little brown men just climb over their competitors. In other words, the larger they come the heavier they fall! Colvllle Jackson, tackle, was elected captain of the University of Chicago football team the other day for 1920. j He is the second of the Jackson family to lead a Maroon eleren on Stagg field. His older brother, Phllbrick, captained Chicago in 1916. "Red1 won his letter in football in 1917, the first vear ot the war. wher he played tackle and repeated for a "C" in basketball.

His work has been of exceptional quality this fall, even better than it was s.ar oi no mean magnitude men. Of offensive and defensive, it mattered little which. Higgins shone like a blue diamond. His forward pass receiving, his tackling, his running under punts they were all of the greatest class. He stands out as an end for more than one year, for he is, perhaps the best wing player since the new football came into its own.

Before going to Pittsburg he was engaged by the Carlisle Indians, who quickly droped out of sight alter Warner s departure. Everett Scott no longer is desirous of being traded by the Red Sox. Some time ago the clever shortstop of the Boston American league club announc ed, that he would not again wear the spangles of the Hub outfit and would demand that he be traded or sold to another club. Lately he underwent a change of mind, the reason for which lay in his purchase of a car. Last year Scott resided during the summer at Winthrop, which is on the Massachusetts coast and the tiresome trips by rail back and forth between his home and Fenway park really impelled him to seek a berth elsewhere. Now however, he says all objections to playing in Boston have been removed, as he can live at the seashore next summer and travel to and from the ball park in his car. m 3 i Jim Vaughn When Jim Vaughn, star pitcher of the Cubs, started to play baseball it wasn't with the main object of "seeing America first." But he has done a mighty good job of sightseeing since he broke into the programe .with Temple, in the Texas league back in 1906. From that berth he went to Orsicanna in the Southern Texas .1 a league. His next stop was Hot Springs in the Arkansas State league. The Yankees grabbed him off, let him see Gotham and then shipped him to Scranton, Pa. From there he was shipped to Macon in the Southern league, to Louisville in the A. A., and then back to New York. The Yanks released him to Washington. - The Nats sent him to Kansas City and then the Cubs took pity on him and brought him back to Cubville. He has 3en with that outfit since 1913, and is one of the stars ot the game. FRENCH MAY RAISE POSTAGE (By Associated Press) PARIS, Dec. 17.
