 A speech by Professor Pohie of the Frankfort Academy of Commerce on "Ths American Peril" made before the Merchants Association of that city, is beIne widely discussed here.
 The professor proved that the com merciai status of the two countries at the present time should give rise to no anxiety. because by exporting goods to Germany. America was pay ing interest on German capital in- vested on the oths- side of the Az lantic.
 The real danger was in the moving of the political and economical centres of gravity Americanwards, and Am erica's attraction for European workers and European capital a fact perhaps tion and culture was not threatened because America is peopled by the white and not the yellow race. Alto- gether the Professor did not believe in the existence of an American peril"

How to cover a deticit of 40 mill ion marks on the annual budget at 8 time when the poor taxpayer cannot and the rich will not pay any more is the problem which the Prussian Minis ter of Finance, Baron won Rheihba. ben is to solve or resign.
 ts0s has been a bad year for Prus. sia and the only satisfaction that the minister had when ne told of it, poor as it was. was that he had foreseen 1t and warned the German people q year ago that the era of prosperity was on the wane.
 But the deficit must be met. not by cutting down expenses, military and naval. for this the Kaiser will not al- low. On the contrary they are increas- e6 and not on loans. for after bor. rowing heavily to buy new equipment for the state railroads, |. would be hard for the government to get a loan on reasonable terms, but supposedly by an increased income tax, which will meet violent opposition, and by a tax on beer, which will be opposed even more strenuousIy.

is OF Clara Dana Hutchinson, wife
of Edwin Hutchinson; the other is
of Charles Hutchinson, son of Ed

Judge Finn followed in good

considerable height of eloquence;

And when he raised his voice it fell and

Judge Finn also told some good

fine humor.

Shere is every indication that the

at the state fair'to be held at White

the early demand for rooms at the

Accommodations for eli who come, and
aside from the rooms to be had at
private houses, the following accom-
odationS are to be had.

BASE BALL
Woodstock Beats Springfield II to 8

Everybody hit the baIl-Hayden,
Dumas, Murphy, Davis, Russell,
Fitzmorris, Shaw, FELTON, and Pugs-
ley. Mr.. Shaw hit safely three times
and twice he hit for two bases. He
was in the limelight, all right. Hay
den let the Springfield pitcher-nan
off with four singles and a two-bag-
ger-a good afternoons work.
: The Springfield team came up
here with a considerable blare of
trumpets and many typewriter tes
timonials as to their ability to hit,
run bases and play all-around ball;
anticipation ran high among the ex-
pectant local fans, but the padded
front of the visitors burst like a bag
of sawdust in the sixth inning.
Result, eight runs for Woodstock, by
Scorer Ea.on's count.
The local team kept up its gait
we'll under the circumstances, and
with ten runs to the good were not
discouraged or careless.
The event looked like a ball game
for an inning or two. The locals
got run in the fourth and fifth; in
the sixth long hit by Davis, two
Dagger by Mr.. Shaw which caught
Clark, right fielder and manager, in
the small of Ills back as he fell, and
other minor hits by nearly every
member of the cast, and errors
by the visitors, gave Woodstock
a whole page of scores.
Mr.. Barney of Springfield was
going to show us how to hit the ball.
His failure to reach first base won
the applause of the friendly specta-
tors.

TWELVE INNING TIE TO
The opening game with Barton
Wednesday was called on account of
darkness after a dozen innings of
superb playing OH both teams.
Barton counted one in the FIRST
inning, another in the seventh, this
was all.
Woodstock's runs came in the
sixth-the same limited number
two men scoring on hit by Shaw.
The particular feature Of the local
show was Fits throw to the plate
cutting off runner.
Barton lost a chance to score in
the ninth when Coach Bishop butted
in and blocked runner at third
base.
SECOND GAME.
Mr.. Umpire Black (of Dartmouth
called William Shaw out at the
plate, ending the game, the decision
of Umpire Black (of Dartmouth also
winning the series for Barton.
The ninth inning knockout fol-
lowed poor exhibition by the local
team, good ball playing by the Wis
itors. 1t Was disheartening show
up to the last inning, when Murphy,
with one man down, scored on hit,
steal and an error or two. One run
for Woodstock.
