LARRY GILBERT. oUTFIEIDER
 OF. CHAMPION BRAVES as TO-DAY

Larry Gilbert. of the outfie1d staff of the champion Braves, has a birth day coming to him todays as he was born on the third of December just twenty-three years ago. Lawrence. like his boss, the wel1-knoWn Miracle. Man. is a son of the sunny South land, having been born in New Or leans He. has been playing profes- siona1 baseball three years, starting in New Orleans. During the last sea son he figured in seventy-three games with the Braves, making sixty-two hits and scoring thirty-two runs out of 225 times at bat, his swatting per centage for the season being .276. This isn't a remarkable performance, but it gives Larry a place among the leading batter of the Boston club. Gil- bert is about five feet nine in height, and weighs around 160 pounds His only appearance in the worlds series was in the third game, when he batted for James in the twelfth inning. He was walked Intentionally to prevent sacrifice to advance Manne who was roosting on second. It was at this critical period when Bush heaved the pellet wild, after a bunt by Moran, and Mann chased home with the win ming run
 Robert J. 'shawkey. the brilliant young twirler of the Connie Mack
 
 tomorrow. Bob" has made an ex- ceIIent record since he broke into the big show In 1913 he was used in eighteen games, and was a consistent winner. This year he won sixteen and lost only half as many contests In the worlds series he fell down hard, but, as nearly all the Athletics were doing 1t, his downfall is hardly to be blamed After Bender had failed in the first trial of strength with the ABraves and Plank in the second, and Joe Bush had failed after a p1ucky attempt to turn the tide of battle in the third session, Connie pinned what fragments of faith he had left to Shawkey and sent him in to do or die. In the fifth inning the Braves connected with Bob's curves and banged his balls all over the lot; until Connie got busy with the derrick.
 Tom orrows will be the forty-fourth birthday anniversary of Jesse Burkett, in his prime one of the hardest hitting players in baseball history. Burkett, who became manager of the Worces- ter, Mass, club after his major league days were over, played with the New York, Cleveland and St. Louis clubs. He was g. great outfielder, but it was with the bat that he really shone. For ten straight years he batted over the 300 mark, and in three of those years

FURNISH US THE PROOF.

One fact in the history of Valdez ought to be settled in the interest of truth and justice. For more than two years Delegate Wickersham's part, or lack of any, in the passage of the Valdez dike appropriation through congress has been matter of much dispute.
 It has been stoutly asserted that the delegate gave no aid to the dike bill because it was originated by Col onel Richardson and championed by Senator Nelson. The delegates 8 friends have stoutly asserted that he gave it active support.
 This dispute may be easily settled. Let Judge Wickersham furnish to Valdez copies of any speeches or statements in support of the bill he made in the House or before the House committee which had the bill in charge.
 No such speeches or statements lave ever yet been made public prop erty in Valdez through general circu lation.

SELECTION BY WAR IS CHANGED

So horrible is war that in our de- nunciations of it we are apt to forget that until times comparatively recent practically the whole of mankind was engaged in it almost constantly, and yet somehow managed to progress rather steadily toward higher and higher civilization. In other words, war is the very oldest of "folkways," and every custom as widely practiced and long con'inu as this one must have once had advantages that more than balanced it's disadvantages, else the human race would long since have been exterminated.
 Thoughtful observers have pointed out however, that war is no longer what it was in olden times--a rough but effective method of selecting for survival the strains of superior strength and intelligence and of get ting rid of those marked by the op- posite qualities. Cannons and rifles are without the discrimination that was possessed by the sword and the

STRUCK FROM THE ROLLS.
What Happens to an English Lawyer
 Whom He Goes Wrong.

What Happens to an English Lawyer
 Whom He Goes Wrong.
 When a solicitor passes his examina- tions his name is entered on the rolls" of the legal profession. Should he ever become guilty of professional miscon- duct his name Is "struck of the rolls."
 It is a grave matter. Any person having complaint against solicitor in reference to his professional conduct Is supposed to forward it to the Incor- porated Law society. the body which rules the legal profession. His private life doesn't trouble the society unless he is convicted of a criminal offense.
 Having received the complaint and evidence in support of it, the society brings the matter before a divisional court composed of two or three of the most distinguished judges on the bench. The solicitor is given every chance of defending himself. but if, after hearing the evidence, the judges decide that he is guilty his name is "struck from the rolls." Should the ofense be a minor one, caused more by misunderstanding than fraud. the solicitor may be suspended for 6 pc riod and allowed to practice again at the expiration of it.
 A solicitor cannot be struck of the rolls" for negligence or bankruptcy. A clients remedy in the first case is to bring an action against him for dam ages. Bankruptcy is adjudged to be a misfortune and therefore is not pro fessional misconduct" - London Tit Bits.

WHERE TO GET THE OFFICERS.

As more than HOO British officers have been killed, wounded, or taken prisoners in France since Aug. 23, when the British contingent was first engaged, the need of new officers Is urgent. This Is inevitable when a nation without vast standing army is drawn into war of huge propor- tions. In peace the large number of competent men, who might otherwise be of larger service to humanity, chained to the dull routine of an army officers life is more or less of a reproach to civilization. But when war comes there is always need of all the available officers, and fre- quently of more, before the first bat tie is fought.
 England has borne a full share of the perils of the fierce campaign at the outset of the war. New officers are needed at the front, and it is going to be hard to supply them. Large numbers of competent officers must remain on duty at the big train ing camps in England. With four out of every ten officers sent into France either dead or disabled sub- stitutes must be obtained quickly.
 This, therefore, is the golden hour of the "ranker." The British sol diers in colonial wars have never lacked good offices. Napoleon found field marshals carrying muskets. Great Britain's new officers must be taken from the trenches on the banks of the Aisne. They must be the men who have been studying modern war fare within the deafening sound of the German howitzers, they must be those heroic corporals and sergeants, whose acts of bravery and presence of mind the few British correspond ents who have been permitted to see anything of what has been going on, have SO graphically described. The farm boys. the town shop clerks, the men of the Downs, whose grave but sure response to their country's call has made John Masefield sad but melodious, have their chance to earn distinction now. There are British peasants, now under arms in France. who may yet be Earls and Marquess- es, if titles of nobility survive this appalling war.-Ex.

That 1t is being menaced by Germany
 and seduced by Russia to break this
 phase in one direction or the other
 may make it's task harder, but it
 would seem also to justify the wis
 dom of it's early decision.
 It is not probable, and we think 1t definitely undesirable, that Italy
 should join the allies merely to en- able her, in case of success, to gain territory at the expense of Austria. If Austria be defeated the just claims of Italy would doubtless be consid- cred by the allies. Her mere neutral. ity Is valuable enough to entitle her to that. To make her claims broad CT and then to stake all on the issue
 of the war is not the part of wis.,
 dom and will, we are confident, be resisted by the Italian government. If, as is only too possible, Turkey should take sides with Germany, re- light the fires of war in the Bal kans, assume the offensive on the Sea. and threaten the peace of Tripoli and all North Africa, Italy could hard | ly withhold her hand. She will then have substantial interests of her own for the defense of which sshe could
 rightly join with the allies. But it is clearly better for her short of this decisive appeal, to save her treasury,
 her industry and commerce and the lives of her people from the waste l of actual war-EX.

ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.

They Arc Held on Sunday and Rarely
 Finished In One Day.
 In France elections are held on Sun day. Universal manhood suffrage is the rule. Every Frenchman of twen- ty-one years of age. on proof of six months residence. Is a legal voter at the elections to the chamber. saving only soldiers on active service and oth- CTS disqualified for bankruptcy and criminal reasons Because of the num- Der of candidates the first days poll ing in many districts is not final. Where no candidate receives an abso- lute majority. second election Is held. It often happens that from one- third to one fourth of the elections for deputies are not finally decided until the second poll. when not infrequenly one or more candidates in district have withdrawn.
 The polling begins at 8 in the morn ing and lasts until 6 in the evening. Instead of regularly appointed clerks and election officials. three volunteers take charge of the urn 1n Whlch the ballots are deposited and conduct the proceedings. One of the penalties of being first to appear is the likelihood of being impressed into service as one of the assessors. of whom two. both independent voters. must serve with the president of the ballot" The counting of the ballots is also done by volunteers called for from among the electors.
 In the absence of the party system 1t is difficult strictly to classify the candidates. In general way they range themselves in groups around certain well known political leaders, New York World.

 This theory of a decided change in the sort of selection exercised by war is at least plausible, and. if ac- cepted, 1t explains why nations once thrived on successful fighting and deteriorated in peace, while now pug naci-y is a deteriorating influence and peace the elevating one.-Ex.
