. GERMSS IMPATIENT TO CAPTURE
I CALAIS AND AFTERWARDS
1 TO INIIADE ENGLAND
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 4—Travellers arriving here from
Berlin and other German cities, and they are numerous, state
that the feeling of optimism is dwinling away in the Prussian
capital. There was great enthusiasm with the fall of Antwerp,
and the public was told that Dunkirk and Calais would follow
in a. few days. The assurance was given that the taking of
Calais was a mere nothing, and would follow as a matter of
course. The result was that everyone concluded that the Ger
mans had an overwhelmin garmy in Belgium, and great dis
appointment is now being felt that news of the victory has no:
come to hand. In fact, the authorities quite recognise that if
Calais is not taken it will have a disappointing effect upon pub
lis opinion, and it is or this reason that such extraordinary
efforts are being made.
Many military events may bo denied, a defeat may lie de
nied or minimised, but the fact that Calais has not yet been
occupied cannot be denied. Consequently every available man
that can be spared is bein sent to Belgium. The keynote in
Berlin is that optimism must be maintained, and it will be a
great blow to German optimism if the Allies can hold Calais.
According to reports from Berlin once Calais has been
taken there will be a two or three months interregnum for the
colossal preparations which Germany is aware she has to make
before starting the invasion of England.
ALLIES LAND TROOPS COAST MONTENEGRO
BERLIN, Dec. 41—A large number of troops convoyed by
British and French warships, were landed today at Antivari,
oil the southern coast of Montenegro. The Austrian troops
guarding the coast have fallen back, leaving the city in the un
disputed possession of the Allies.
The smoker given by the fire depart
ment to its members last night was an
unqualified success In every particu
lar. and the members of the com
mittee in charge are receiving the con
gratulations of the members for
arranging one of the most attractive
affairs ever given by the department.
Prior to the program a regular meet
ing of he department was held, during
which the regular routine business was
transacted .and a vote of thanks to
the Dally Alaskan was passed for hav
ing printed tickets for the Flrmen's
dance free of charge. Following the
meeting the entertainment committee
took charge of affairs, and the fun
was fast and furious.
The first event was a lively two
round boxing contest between Dick
O'Neill and Nick Clasen. Both men
displayed class^ and were so closely
matched that the referee declared the
bout a draw.
Curley Hickman and Frank O’Neill
were the next on the program, and
presented a two-round go which
brought forth plenty o fapplause.
Both rounds were full of action, the
contestants giving and taking with
zeal. Mr. Dooley accompanied uhe
conatantants with tho drums.
A wrestling boot was the next event,
the contestants being ‘'Blondie"
won the first fall, while the second
went to Gordon, and as a third fall was
not tried for the honors are even.
Another wrestling bout came next.
Dr. Council and Al. Johnson striving
to put each other to the mat. The
doctor possessed some advantage in
weight, and possibly in athletic ex
perience, so that both falls went to
him.
The next event on the program was
a two round boxing contest between
Harry O’ Neill and A. J. Henneke. It
was prounced one of the fastest and
best of the evening, both men exhibit
ing considerable skill, and mixing it
up in good shape.
Warren Taylor and LeRoy Ander
son were next with a wrestling bout.
Taylor was the victor, winning both
falls.
Charles Game gave an exhibition of
club swining which elicited consiedr
able appplause from the spectators.
About the middle of the entertain
ment an excellent lunch was served,
of which there was a bountiful supply
on hand^ as well ns cigars and cigar
ettes in liberal quantities.
At the completion of the regular
program the Chief took charge and
called upon the members who had
not already contributed to the amuse
ment of the evening. Those who fail
ed to respond when called upon were
waited upon by Hub Bollinger, who
proceeded to extract from the delin
quent a little coin to serve as a warn
ing that they should be ready the next
time they were called upon to furti
ish amusement for their fellow mem
bers.
Music for the occasion was provld
el by an orchestra composed of Geo.
Dooley, Harry Burkhnrt and F. A.
Jones.
The affair broke up about 11 o'clock,
and it is the unanimous opinion that
the smoker was the best ever given
by the department. The committee in
charge of the affair was Hub. Bollin
ger, Fred Fuller, Joe Emperly and
Fred Schiller.
