ethical will he distinguish this gen eral will from the will of a mob, which he characterized as a mere az gregate of voices. He pointed out that in time of crisis history abounds with illustrations of the general will rising to heights of which few indi- vidua1 citizens have ever before been conscious.
 EnIarging on this idea, Lord Hal dane advocated the development of a full international 'fSittlichkeit'' or ethical habit among nations, as well as within nations. He recognized that it's development was more hope full in the case of nations with some special relation than within 8. mere az gregate of nations. In this connection he said that recent events in Europe and the way in which the great pow CTS had worked together to preserve the peace of Europe as if forming one community, pointed to the ethical pos abilities of the group system as de- serving of close study by both states men and students. Drawing his ad- dress to a close, Lord HaIdane pointed to the century of peace which has ex- isted between the United States and the people of Canada and Great Brit ain, during which the peoples of these countries have come to a greater pos session of common eids and ideals natural to the Ang1o-Saxon group. The
 
 tSittlichkeit'' he declared resulted in the fact that a vast number of citizens would not to-day count it decent to violate the obligations which that feeling suggested.
 He advocated the settlement of diff ferences between these three countries in the spirit and in the manner in which citizens settle their differences, and in this connection he said 1t was a splendid example to the world that Canada and the United States should. have nearly four thousand 1ntles of frontier practically unfortifed
 The Lord Chancellor then pointed out the special responsibility of law yers for the preservation of the fu- ture relations of friendship between the United States, Canada and Great Britain in the fact that lawyers play a large part in public affairs and inf1u ence their fellow men in questions for beyond the province of law. and ex- tending in the relations of society to that "S1ttlichkeit'' of whicn he spoke In this connection he added, 1T believe that if, in the language of vet words of Lincoln, we as a body in our minds and hearts highly re- solve to work for the general recogni- ton by society of the binding charae- ter of international duties and rights as they arise within the Anglo-Saxon o- ~h'' w ESAAcHAt thOI 1O0OAV0 III VSIn. In conclusion he, spoke as follows:
 But the occasion has seemed to me. significant of something beyond even it's splendid hospitality. I have interpreted it, and I think not wrong ly as the symbol of a desire that ex- tends beyond the limits of this as- Semblage. l mean the desire that we should steadily direct our thoughts to how we can draw into closest har- mony the nations of a race in which all of us have a common pride. If that be now a far-spread inclination. then indeed may the people of three great countries say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be built and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be 1aid'"

StaIlings Wonder Of
 Big League Managers

George Tecumseh StaInngs, mana ger of the Boston Braves is one of the 1mpenetrable mysteries of baseball, so to speak. Sta1lings has accom- plished so many extraordinary things, and has had so many ups and downs, that even the best posted men in baseball can't place him. Some people will tell you Stallings is the smartest gent in the game. Others. who are in a position to know, knock him savagely and point significantly to the fact that he was hncanned' out of Detroit and 'trailroaded' out of New York, Stall ling's decapitation by the New York American. league club in the fall of 1910 has never been explained thor oughly. It remains one of the great mysteries of baseball
 Like Jake Stah1, Stallings was bounced after rounding up a winning team for his employer. Everybody understands why managers of losing teams are fired. Even StahIs recent discharge is exp1ainab1e. President McAleer says he released Jake for not keeping up the gait he did last year when the Red Sox won a pennant. But Stalltngs got the az in New York while his team was winning. He took charge of the New York Americans in 1909. The club was in seventh place when Stallings assumed com mand. In less than one years time
  contender. New York, under Stall Hng's management, finished second to Philadelphia, in 1911. Then they gull Iotined George. The same New York team that almost won a, pennant for Stallings has been a consistent tail ender under Hal Chase, Harry Vol verton and Frank Leroy Chance.
 Why? That was the mysterious part of it until StaIlings re-entered major league ball this year and round ed up winner for Boston. Now ev- erybody is asking how does he do it? What is Sta1lings' system? What sort of hocus pocus does he practice? The Boston Nationals were confirmed tail enders under Fred Penney, Johnny KIing and Fred Lake. Kling wiI1ed StalIings a hopeless bunch of joke ball players, apparently. The club didn't look like it could beat a drum. Every baseball expert in the United States picked Boston to finish abso- luteIy last, even with Stallings in com mand. George Tecumseh got busy right away. Jim Gahney, a Tam many hall politician, owns the Boston Braves. He watched Sta1lings' work with the New York Americans ways from the jack.
 Gaffney instructed Stallings to spare no expense to get players But you can't always buy good ball players, so Stallings had to rustic around and dig them wherever he could lay his hands on desirable prospects. He picked up 'tHi' Meyers, a St. Louis American discard, in the bushes. John Titus was turned adrfft by the Philadelphia Nationals. CIymer was turned down by the Chicago Cubs. Mcdonald was secured from Cincinnati Reds for the waiver price. Maranville, Connolly Man and Whaling are youngsters, Ma ranviIle is one of the most promising young infielders in the big ring. He; isn't bigger than a minute, but he certainly plays a dashing shortstop. Captain Bill Sweeney, second sacker and Pitchers Hub Perdue and Tyler were with the club when Staf1ings took charge.

stonal baseball career there in 19O5- Later he went to the Springfield Three I team, and in 1907 broke into fast company with the St. Louis Cardinals. He played two years with St. Louis He was traded to New York, along with Bugs Raymond and John Mur- ray, for Roger Bresnahan, and New York traded him to Cincinnati for 'tAdmiraI'' Sch1ei.
 FromTne twirled six games for CLn- cinnati this year before he was traded to New York, and lost five of them In his first six games with the Giants, he won five, which is a pretty neat percentage, as baseball percentages go- Which goes to prove that there is lot in what artistic folk call 'atmos- phere." In Cincinnati nobody. least of all his fellow players and the fans. expected FTomme to win. In New York, with the Giants, he got into an atmosphere of victory.

ARTHUR FRONINEE, ESCAPED RED, CELEBRATES
 BIRTHDAY TO-DAY

Hope long deferred maketh the heart sick, and filleth the system with pessimiSm and bile, until cen he who was wont to be a Sunny Jim feels his disposition turn sour and rancid with in him, until he grabeth a hammer and goes about seeking what and whom he may knock, and frOtheth at the gilIs like a mad dog, and speweth venom wheresoe' CT he listeth. And so in Cincinnati where the pennant of the glad Springtime always and ever recedeth into the dim distance as Sum naer days wax and wane, until, as Autumn cometh with it's me1anc ncholy days, it becomes such thing as dreams are made of, as visionary as the pot of gold at the rainbow'S end. Small wonder, then, that the fans of Zealand, heartsick of blasted hopes, have developed into chronic grouches until it has come to pass that the sad dest fate that can overtaxe a ball player is to have to write f'Cincinnati'' after his name on hotel registers From such a fate Arthur F'romme re- gently escaped, and today he will ceIe- brate his twenty-ninth birthday in the uniform of the New York Giants Me Graw secured F,romme from Cincin- natl, in exchange for Leon Ames pitcher; Joshuway Devore, outfelder. and Henry Groh, infielder. The big right-handed hurler has already man ifested his gratitudeM to McGraw for bringing about his extra dition from Cincinnati by winning several pastim es for the Joints.
