agency that can bring about world
peace, was the keynote OF speech
delivered today by DR.. Lyman Abbott,
editor in chief Of tho Outlook at the
opening Of the nineteenth annual Lake
Mohonk conference on international
arbitration.
There are times when war is nee
essary,'' Dr.. Abbott said at the
outset, and there was ! buzz Of sub
dued comment among the three hun
dred delegates who recalled that
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Is asso-
ciated with DR.. Abbott. DR.. Abbott

dent Of the American Peace Society at
St. Louis and his selection to preside
today caused comment. Or. Abbot.
continued:
sCcmbativeness and destructiveness
are not vicious elements In human
nature. They are not to be destroyed;
they are to be guided by reason and
directed by benencient hands.
There are times when war is nee
essary. The history Of the world
would be poorer than It IS II there
we're no record OF war on It's pages;

Drawing freely from the Bible To-
Illustrations Of that phase OF his argu

u. S. TEAM MEETS GERMANS
IN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP

NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND, July
1o,-The American and German ten
mis- representatives clash to-day in
the second round of the Dwight F.
Davis international lawn tennis cup
matches. Although the weather has
not been at all favorable for tennis,
Harold H. Hackett, captain of the
United States teams, says the Ameri-
can players are in good form. The
Germans are complaining of the eli
mate. Yesterdays draw is looked
upon as being favorable to the Ameri-
can players.
Froitzheim is Germany's strongest
singles player. so it is considered just
as well for the American team that
he should meet Maurice e. McLaugh-
lin, Americas champion, in the first
days play. The showing made by
Kreutzer Of Germany, in the all Eng
fish championship, hardly justihes
the belief that he can beat r Norris
Williams, Of Philadelphia.
Although the Americans are the IA
vorites for the doubles match, they
must be in the best form to beat Ger
many's doubles representatives, Rahe
and KleinscrOth.

Finn probably established a prece-

After the close of last years race,
Demaree was forwarded to the New
York Giants for $4,000. Remaining
on the twirling staff were Campbell
Berger and Cavet. For $4,000 Rob

for small sum. Thus the twirling
staff was rounded for a few shekels.
In the tnfleld, Paulette Starr and
O'Dell were returned. Stock was
shunted from the Giants in the Dem

perfected without an expenditure of
a cent The Outfeld, consisting Of
Jacobson, Robertson and Clark, was
secured for a pittance. Jacobson was
returned by the Giants at the be-

UNCLE SAM To
HELP TOURING
BALL TEAMS
By James Clarkson.
y HICAGo, July 1O.-The United
Ssotar n r..... -, = a.,


y HICAGO, July 10.-The United
States Government has decided
to take recognition Of the fact
that the Chicago White Sox and New
York Giants are going to take a tour
of the world during the fall and win
ter months. A letter to that effect
has reached President Comiskey's
office
Now, when you come to study a
little, than means a whole lot to the
interested parties of that wonderful
tour, on which the performers of
Comiskey's world famous White Sox
and John McGraw's always fighting
Giants are to show to the other civ
ilized nations of the world what a
wonderful pastime baseball really ID.
Callahan Called on Bryan,
When the White Sox played in
Washington during their Eastern in
vasion early in June, Manager Jimmy
Callahan called on William Jennings
Bryan. The call was for the express
purpose Of interesting the Secretary
of State in the contemplated trip Of
the baseball outfit. Colonel Bryan
has never been much of a student Of
baseball-in fact. he inquired of the
surprised Callahan whom the White
SoX represented. He also wanted to
know where McGraw's Giants hailed
from. He forgot to ask whether or

Wilson Approves of Plan.
After the short interview Callahan
left the Secretary's office, and while
he was treated courteously, he was
none too favorably impressed. He
had an idea. IF could only see the
big boss-Presidert Wilson, might
be able to get better satisfaction"
thought Cal. To make long story
very short, Cal was accorded the in
terview with the President and the
Executive informed him that he would
not only do all in his power to make
the trip a success, but that he be-
IleVed in 1t and he personally hoped
u would terminate as expected ..
Bryan Writes to Callahan.
Yesterday we learned from Commy
that he had recently received a let
ter from Secretary Bryan. When
asked what news the letter brought.
II any. Commy stated that Mr.. Bryan
had written him most cordially con-
corning the proposed trip. Further
more, he requested Commy to send
him. as soon as possible, the itinerary
of the trip. Once he gets that, he
has promised to notify the American
Consuls in the various cities to be
visited to give all the help possible
to the visit of the Sox-Giant combine.
So, after ALL 1t win be seen that Calls
short visit to President Wilson last
month was not merely a press stunt
with the old U. S. Government In
favor of the trip and throwing favors
in our way. we should show a lot Of
speed in the foreign lands" said Cal
yesterday when referring to the
Bryan letter.

hero is born each day. To-day the
