TWO MEN IN DRAFT
Brown, Texas League 0utfieIder,
Is One, and Another Will Be
Announced Tomorrow.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Clark Griffith today allowed the rams
Of WASHINGTON in on the secret OF hall
Of the men he obtained by the draft
route last month, tie othsrs maine
will be given out tomorrow.
The man already announced Is Brown,
who had a sensational year with the
Fort worth team in the Texas League,
and who was highly touted because OF
his rafting propensities. Griffith had
settled upon q plan If not announcing
any prospective Nationals untll ne &C
tually had their contracts In ms SAFE.
manager admitted today that he also
has the other whose name he Will d.
vulge tomorrow.
While the present discussion is a mat
ter of veracity between Ban johnson
and Charley Weeghman. president OF
the Chicago Federal League club. 1t ap-
pears as IL the long predicted truce
between organized baseball and the in
dependents Is about to occur.
Under conditions as they were last
season neither side could hope to pros
per and the chances Are that thero Will
he a compromise before many more
weeks have passed. The Federals cut
to. the very heart Of organized baseball
when they forced a charge in the form
OF the contract under which ball play
ers had been working and then through
tie Offering of widely inflated salaries
they forced both Of the major leagues
to come through with the highest sal
aries that the game has ever known.
Under the conditions it is not surpris-
Jig that Garry Hermann would be
willing to talk peace.
It would be interesting to learn ex-
actly what the Athletics Will got in e.
turn should Ed Collins be allowed to
go tc New York to assume managerial
control Of the Highlanders.
That Collins has been In bad In Phn-
adelphia has long been an open secret.
When the matter Of the captaincy ~
the Mackmen came up 1t WAS naturally
expected that Collins would land the
Job. but the fact that Connie Mack
switched to Ira Thomas who Is not
even a regular, showed the manner IN
which the manager looked at the whole
propositlon.

Chinese FAIL in
MEDIATION EFFORTS
BECAUSE OF OBLIGATIONS TO
ENGLAND, JAPAN REFUSES
TO ACT

Peking, China Aug. 1.-THE Jap
anese government in replying TO the
suggestion of China that China, the
United States and Japan should en-
deavor to mediate IN the European
conflict said its obligations to Great
Britain might prevent Japan from do
ing so.
In consequence of this reply China
considers further efforts useless, al
though it was stated today that the
question of mediation might be re.
opened with the United States in case
there were any prospects of success.
A note to the foreign Legations is
sued today says that China will es-
tablish moratorium only for short
term loans. 1t was stated that the
government had continued paying the
Indebtedness and other obligations as
long as possible.

BANK OF ENGLAND MAY
OPLN OTTAWA BRANCH
WALL STREET SLIGHTLY FUSED
UP AT IMPORTANT AN
NoUNcEMENT

New York, Aug. 1.-THE most inn
portant report in the financial district
today was the rumor that the Bank
of England proposed establishing a
branch at ottawa, Canada. Bankers
here see in such move what they
call an. attempt ON the part of the
great British institution to pile up
large amounts of credits with this
country, which we may have to pay
in gold shipments to the dominion.
With all the rest of the world on
a non-specie basis it is believed that
such a maneuver would be vigorously
opposed. The matter under discus
sion in representative financial cir
cles today and the attitude of Ameri-
can bankers may find expression in a
definite statement later.

GERMAN AMERICANS CONDEMN
ACTION AND CLAIM DIS
ELIMINATION


New Yc4k. Aus II Hcinrieh
Charles, secretary of the German-Am
erican chamber of commerce, said today
that no answer had been received to
the protest made against this govern
ments placing censors in the wireless
stations along the coast and that the
United States is known to have been
in communication with German war
ships.
The protest charged that Germany
was being Disseminated against in
that the cables to England were open
and uncensored on this side of the
Atlantic. From London, the protest
asserted, information and instructions
could be relayed by wireless to British
or French warships. The conserving
of messages sent over the German
owned radio stations, Mr.. Charles as
serted was unfair to the German peo-
pie. He and his organization also
MAINTAIN that the action taken by the
United States was not in accordance
