CHRISTMAS IN EUROPE THIS
YEAR.

A. R. Sandles of Ottawa, OHIO
has written an article which
should appeal to every heart IL
the United States. He believes
that it is for the new world to
see that the chi. dren of the old
world are not overlooked when
the date of Santa Claus annual
visit comes again.
Europe is at war; says Nj
Sandles. thousands of children
will be orphans next Christmas
day. Gloom and tears will dwell
in homes. Happiness and cheer
will have fled. Poverty and
famine knocking at the door.
Christmas will not bring the
g.adness that it once did. The
story makes all the world sad.
Why not let Uncle Sam be
Santa Claus? A proposal has
been made to send Christmas
ship from the new world to the
old. Load and laden it with the
joys and toys of Yuletide and it
will be the happiest ship that
ever sailed the sea, This move
ment, once started, will gain
momentum. A score of ships
will pillow through wind and
wave. Well nigh ninety million
Americans would contribute. A
Christmas ship would bring child
ssh joy and laughter to countless
homes in all the nations now at
war. Our Kindly act might in
drce the blush of shame to flush
the old world brow and chiae 1t
for playing at the game Of foolish
war: The spirit of a Christmas
ship might sheath the sword.
This kindly Offering from "a peo-
rle who govern themselves might
cause scepter and crowns to slip
from the hands and heads Of EN-
perors, kings and vz8rs. A
Christmas ship might COOL the
melting pot of war. It might
i.lumine the night of monarchy
ard aristocracy and lay the cor
rerstone Of new republic in the
world. It might soften the feuds
and hates Of centuries and merge
the now contendiug hosts into
one great and mighty brother
hood.
"Send the ship across the sea.
And when the tokens Of 'generos-
ity enter ,desola1e homes on
Christmas morn, the old world
will pause and ponder on war
and plumber and wonder 'wheth-
er the game of strife and murder
is worth while.
"Send the Christmas ship
across the sea. and the spirit of
Christ, the Cross. the Crown and
the Crucifixion viii have been in
creased many fold.
ION with the ship. Let its
LOAD be the ships capacity. >

him hard. Capt. Guthrie and Voelk-

NEW YORK. Jan. l1.-Ch mas
Weeghman. president of the Chicago
Federal league club, seems 10 have
.'Merkled" a bit by Offering Ty Cobb
a threeyear contract with a paItTy
$4,000 a year salary.
If Cobb is available, Weeghnlan
could have offered the dash4ng
Georgian a salary OF $4,000 a year
and more-and made money IN the
years. the eDtroit star said he would
years TO come, VIII hold irst place as
a baseball drawing card and with
him on one or another OF its rosters
at the beginning Of the 1914 season
the Federal league would be made
capitals all the way.
But Weekhman. the same person
who is going 10 pay Joe Tinker Sl2,-
coo a year. slipped a large number Of
cogs by offering Cobb a mere $4,000.
Just how many times more valuable
Cobb is as both player and drawing
card than Tinker is d much debated
question. But the cOncensus Of opin-
ion is that Tinker cannot be placed
in the same class as the peerless
Tiger outfielder.
Ty. il may be remarked. is just
about as temperamental as prlma
donna. Weeghman overlooked that
fact He also overlooked the fact
that Tyrus is possessed Of little van
so often, the best ticker getting the
best results
Was $4,000 Insult.
Weeghman, quite Internationally
perhaps. has insulted Cobb. Iyrus
thinks. and he mas a perfect right To-.
that he's one of the very best little
ball players that ever ran amuck in
uniform. There are mighty FEW
persons who will disagree with Cobb
we'll fhf,l-fuor fhne1H- hgu~ a Ia won
suppose Ty felt when he perused that
telegram offering him $4,000 a year
wages and which was signed by the
very same man who is going 20 pay
Joe Tinker $4,000.
Last year Cobb drew down some
thing like $12.5O0 in straight salary.
and with the bonuses he got his base
ball labOrs for the year netted him
$4,000. Tinker during the same
period. drew down only $500 for the
chores ne performed, or a trifie more
that half Of what Cobb got. And now
along comes Weeghman. thinking
he's slipping TN a boost in pay and
also a nice compliment, and offers T.
practically just the same money he
got last year and only $4,000 more
than he's going 10 pay man who got
only half as much as Ty did in 1913.
and a man whose value to a team "a
perhaps only q fourth that Of Cobb.
Vas list los init der Neeghman.
Cobb. we believe. if approached
with q large bankroll might DE Jared
20 the Federal camp, despite his as
sertion some two months ago that ne
was content to remain with the Tigers
for the rest Of his days. t.. SO the
story goes never has been very happy
in his Tiger uniform and often has
yearned to cavort in pastures new.
Cobb would be a greater help 90 the
FedeTals' cause than any dozen or
binary ball players the Federals
could grab from the ranks OF or
gained baseball.
