WIN GAMES

Locals Seem to be GOinQ
Strong With New Men

1t would seem that the local team
las good chance of winning two, if
not three, of the games that will be
played here with the Thomasville team.
beginning tomorrow afternoon. The
team is going strong now, as has been
shown by the series in Thomasville
with the leaders of the league.
The team has been greatly strength
ened lately, from all indications, as
the addition of new men in both infield
and outfeld, has served to change the
complexion of the team considerably.
A new shortstop, new pitcher, new
outfielder, all combine to make things
decidedly NOR cheerful in the local
camp, where the gloom for some time
has been thick enough to cut with an
axe.
There is a feeling of hopefulness
abroad among the fans that indicates
that success will crown the efforts Of
the local team when it goes upon the
diamond here for the series this week.
1t would seem that the fans will go out
to the game with spirit of greater
.sureness that the team will be able to
take care of itself than at any tins

UNCLE sam Will
HAVE ASSISTANCE
OF JOHN BULL
EVENT OF JAPANESE SCRAP
British Empire Will Assist
United States

London, May 17.-Should war be-
tween the United States and Japan
break out, the sympathies of Aus
tralia, New Zealand and Western
Canada would be violently on the side
of the United States, says the Pail
Mall Gazette today in discussing the
California alien land ownership con
troversy.
The newspaper considers that it
would be a grave mistake to under
estimate the chances of conflict be-
tween the United States and Japan It
says:
"The opinion that the Japanese Will
never go to war to enforce their
treaty rights in California is one OF
those dangerous generalities which
lead nations blindfolded to the brink of
the pit"
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses
the opinion that there are several
reasons why Japanese may be desir-
Gus of forcing the issue at the pres
ent. The most obvious of these is
the pending opening of the Panama
canal, while more remote one is
connected with the condition of her in
ternal politics. The article concludes
"The point at issue-the exclusion
Of Asiatics from permanent settle
ment, touches the British empire
very nearly"

"WE LOVE OUR WIVES,
BUT, OH, EUGENICS!'

New York, MAG 17.-Dr Fl. H. Harns.
of New York university, told the
Mothers club at its meeting in the As
tor that mothers ought to help their
sons and daughters to select wives
and husbands. The young people should
not wait for attraction, but should
make a choice based on reason, he
said.
1--WE love our wives, but oh, euge1-
ics!" was the way Prof Harne sum-
med up the matter.
He disputed the modern doctrine
that heredity is nothing and enviro3-
ment everything, and said that child
was strangely predisposed in the dir
rection of inherited tendencies.
