of the present pit>spec-s of an earjv
improvement in wheat deliveries, Bei

take definite leave of the black pa^ty.
tasteless war bread which has been a
prolific prodiver of morning grouche

GERMAN PRINCE IS
HOMESICK AND IS
ANXIOUS TO RETI RE
LONDON. Oct., :tl— In a letter to
i a former member of his staff, th'
ex-Crown Prince of Germany writes:
“Give my regards to all our mu-tun’
friends and tell them that homesick
I ness is beginning to overpower m*
I can say that I have always tried nol
! to attach myself with rock-like per
sistence to the old Prussian tradition
During the war I believed I was doinr
my duty and I did what l conceived a
such. T saved the blood of my soldier
and I lightened their burdens as much
as I could by not taking any comfort4
for myself that I could not give them
My immediate preoccupation is to pro
pa**e myself and family a new life
new surroundings and I eagerly awa?(
the moment when 1 may occupy in m
behoved Germany a place no matte
how small and modest where I ca*
work and help in the reconstruction.’

There is not a man in Seward who
attended the smoker last night g:vcr
in the Arctic Bro'h'.'rh.»jd Hull by the
boys of the Saturn, who has anything
but praise for the splendid evening O’
good sport. Not only wore all of the
1 athletic events good and snappy, but
the cigars, tobacco and pipes, cigaret
tes. sandwiches, liquid refreshments
and the trimmings were dealt out :n
quantity and quality. George Henning
presided at the piano and kept thr
evening lively with good jazz music:
Paymaster Prior gave several solos on
the instrument that knows him as th*‘
master; W. F. Nash sang the “Rive*
Shannon” and doubled with a recita
tion that was a homer, and for the cit
izens, Tom McConity gave an Irish jig
that was a credit.
T. T. Hause, as usual, was the mast
cr of ceremonies and with announcing
the various events, kept up a rapid
fire of various challenges from vavi
ous parties, none of which however
were accepted.
T. T. Hause, during an intermission,
publicly expressed the appreciation of
the officers and men of the U. S. S
Saturn for their new commando*’.
Opt. Rivers Johnson Carstarphanr of
the TJ. S. Navy. Mr. Hause said their
commander took an interest in every
man aboard the Saturn, was one of
them and always stuck by his men.
Resides the Saturn men present, th'*
other men folk joined in a round of ap
proval for the sentiment expressed.
The boxing bouts were two minute
rounds, three rounds to the bout
exception of the main event of the
evening, vhich with the con^nt of th«'
principals, besides all those presen*
went four rounds.
\V. R. Shell horn. Seward s premt '
boxer and n former favorite of riwr
fans in Seattle, refereed the boxirm
bouts of the eve'/np. Frank Cotter
was the tine keeper.
The first event of the rvenlnp wo
a bout between two Filipinos, Folio
and Asinas. Roth boys were in rood
fo>m and had pood punches. Asinas
was the cover up kid. Felio had a nas
tv ripht and a peculiar back mitt slap.
The bout was a draw.
Miller and Flores went three fast
rounds, plenty of pood snarrine*, a d s
plav of much science, both pood on ex
changes of which there were plenty,
head and body b’ows. This like all fol
lowing fistic bouts, was a draw.
bar pan and Merle were two 1> >l.v
lads, their three rounds beinp about
an even break. Both mixed it repeat
edly, in the last round T appan had
several pood leads which he failed to
follow up. Merle was no slouch with
the mitts and acquainted himself ad
mirably.
“Ohio farmer Joe White and the
‘ “mysterious kid of Los Angeles
Gregg went on the mat for a catch-ns
catch- can wrestling match. Orcgg
» won the first fall in one and thref
quarters minutes; White took the sec
ond fall in two and one half minutes
and also took the third fall. The men
' were fast and gave a good fancy ex
hibition.
Arkright and Lally furnished the
:* humorous three round bout. Arkright
- is larger and has a longer reach, but
; at that Lally brushed Arkright’* chin
. . if*
%
whiskers repeatedly.
Mead and Smith went on for ;
wrestling match Smith winning tlx
first and third, Mead taking the sec
ond fall. The men arc heavyweights,
in the p:nl: of condition and gave a
different match fiom the other by
White and Gregg, it being more gruel
ling especially for the last tail.
Rossi, the favorite, and Elphick
w°’ c* the two Saturn’s men who weni
on for three rounds but consented to
go four. Elphick has plenty of pluck
and showed it. The men started ol 1
the first round at a good gait, Elphick
forcing Rossi at a faster clip than in
a recent match seen here in which he
\ a< a so one of the prinei | ds. Ross;
did not extend himself however ano
ga'v Elphick the best of the round?.
Thd third round was a whirlwind Ros
si coaching Elphick on the side and
fast rights and lefts were the result.
The fourth round both boys worked
gamely for the spectators and receiv
ed most thorough applause in appre
ciation for their exhibition.

FORMER GERM \N NOBILITY
.MITST Sl’£GOVERNMENT
FOR THEIR LOST ESTATES
CASSEL, Germany, Oct. 31— B\
Ar P.— Two Germans, formerly of the
nobility, who have been deprived by
the n*‘W regime of the greater part o'
their estates, have been obliged to sm
; h•> new governments for restoration
or ’cimhui scment. They are the Prince
of Wnldcck and Pyrmont and the
Duke of Coburg-Gotha.
The former principality of Wal
dock and Pyrmont is now governed by
the Diet in Arolsen where the Prince
owned before the revolution two cast
les and a vast domain of lorest. Alto
va’nly offering to buy these from him
the Diet confiscated all the Prince’s
property promising to pay him what
the courts should determine to be n
fair price.
By one stroke of the pen the com
missioners who now rule the new 1* rec
State of Gotha, confiscated the pro
petty of the Duke of Coburg-Gotha,
estimated to he worth 65,000,000
marks and this without offer of re
muneration. The commissioners who
were Spartacists took forcible posses
sion of the ducal buildings, estates and
bank accounts and, in 24 hours, the
Duke was stripped of everything he
owned.
The other portion of the duchy, Do
burg-Gotha, has reached a financial
agreement with the Duke.
Doth Prince and Duke have sued
the new governments. In the case of
the Duke, the court which sits in Go
tha has obtained a legal ruling from
government attorneys that confisca
tion without ren; deration is illegal,
so that the Duke is likejy to recover
his money or be paid for his property.
After all, life, for Dukes, Princes and
other nobility in Germany today is un
happy.

DEFIANT ATTITUDE
1
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct., 31— As ;
suming a most defiant attitude, Frank
Farrington, President of the Illinois
Miners union, said it was beyond the
' power of any force to stop the strike.
Farrington says the miners would
not be all reached in time to call it off,
I following the injunction proceedings.
He further said the strike had now de- j
velopod into more than a miner’s
strike. The injun \ion, according to
Fa’Tington, was an attempt to enslave
i the working men and women of the
nation.
RIGHT OF INJUNCTION

I
Anderson this afternoon said that the
injunction of the government was pro
per as the government has a right to
enforce laws to piotect the people
, f o. i a calamity. Judge Anderson
quoted the part of ^the injunction
which says: “The injunction involves
the question of the war, icstricting de
struction of the supply of food and
fuel. This injunction commands the
Union officials to withdraw the strike
order, foibids them to issue orders for
a strike or in any relation hearing up
on a strike, with the exception of for
| bidding it, and forbids officials of the
vr.ious minus from disbursing union
funds as strike benefits."
CANNOT AVERT STRIKE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ocv., 31— Late
this afternoon President Lewis said
the injunction cannot avert the strike.
President Lewis said he regarded
the injunction as the most sweeping
abrogation of rights of citizens, gum
anteedcd by the constitution designed
by law, ever issued by* a Federal
Court. The injunction, said President
Lewis, only complicates problems in
volved in the injunction controversy.
