This man caused the last

His personal memoirs, written
by his secretary, Baron De
Meneval, are full of the most

view of the present great Euro

Just hundred years ago, his ambi-

blood. France alone, under his leader

flesh could never again accede to the
temptations Of the spirit.
One of the best known men who
can, but can't paradoxically speak
ing, is Ernie Diehl of Cincinnati. For
ten years he has been tacitly accept
ed fact around the big leagues and
whenever players and managers as
sembled, that Ernie Diehl was not
only of major league quality, but
what might be called the super-qual-
ity-the Wagner-Lajoie-C Cobb vari.
ETY.. He could hit, run and break
up a defense with anybody, and was
versatile artist in five or six posi-.
tions. Business held him; there new
er was chance for him to spend
full season in the game; year after
year. in short vacation frolics, he
showed the professionals what he
could do-and now, getting on in
years, with business still gripping
| him, he sandy gives it up, and lays
aside the bat and glove he never had
a fair chance to use.
Jack Kedzie, who was a sensation
| at Yale, hated to pass up professional
ball-he wavered, and was tempted
| and on the very eve Of his best
chance in baseball, his father died,
leaving him with enormous wealth
and heavy business cares. Most OF
the great Yale, Princeton and Har.
| ward pitchers have had strenuous
struggles with themselves lest they
be coaxed into professionalism, and
the reason most of them never
signed contract was because they
had the mantles of their fathers tC
assume, the family business to look
after. Long ago, in Chicago, there
was huge and jovial pitcher. Like
most ball players of that time, he
wore big mustache, and when he
rollicked and rioted with merry
throng, no one would have takeI
him for aught but a professional o.
the Kelly-Williamson kind. His
name was Mitchell and he coulC
pitch some ball. Saturdays and Sun
days Mitchell was there with thu
arm and the stick, and he manage'
to appear frequently on weekdays
too. When offered big league con
tracts, Mitchell would laugh and re
fuse, but the laugh didn't come iron
the heart-the man wanted to pla.
the game. Finally around in 1897
Mitchell disappeared, and never agaii

eapital of New Federal Reserve
/ Banking System

Washington, April 2-The new fed-
s.Ras reserve banking system will
start business with total authorized
capital OF about S10O.000,000 for all
reserve banks, no matter how many
sanstitutions the organization commit
zee decides to set up. This fact be-
came apparent when figures were
wade public from all national banks
responding to the last call for the
conptroller Of the currency made
March 4. The statement issued CIV
ing these figures will be the last OF
she kind before the formal launching
ct the system.
The total capital and surplus OF the
5.494 national banks reporting was
given at about s1,7so 100000. Under
the reserve act each national bank
must subscribe per cent Of its capi-
aal and surplus TO the capital OF the
reserve bank in its district, and per
cent of this total would be about
alO7 ,OOO. 900. There we're only b4o5
national banks who signified in legal
time their intention to enter the sys

In The Baseball World Who
Refuse To Play

Only few can reach the big

Such being the case, it must be rath-

then refuse the chance. There are
quite a few of them, however-fel-

ball, and refuse to do it simply be-
cause even big league salary cannot
tempt them from the business de-

are rich--and as if to show how the

water when it was about to sink into
oblivion
The story of the instant rise of the
World when Mr.. Pulitzer took the
helm has been told in these columns
in the review of the book entitled
THE History of Page" The story
of the recrudescence of the Times
when Mr.. Ochs assumed the manage
ment has never been told. At once
defying the axiom that great news
paper cannot be run on the basis of
one cent for copy, Mr.. Ochs reduced
the price and adopted for his motto
the phrase, IAN the news that's fit
to print"
Success as signal, as instant as that
which rewarded Mr.. Pulitzer crowned
Mr.. Ochs's experiment. Fortune laid
her garlands at his feet and he de-
served it. Not one of the survivors
among the men who had made for
the New York Times a name known
across the ocean was disturbed. With
unexpected, monumental generosity
their new chief rewarded them If
they were i'll he helped them. In mis-
fortune he sustained them. One of
them. brother-in-law of Brigham
Young, brother of one of the last
women whom the Mormon leader mar
ried, was mysteriously assassinated
in a Broadway hotel; Mr.. Ochs offered
a reward of 81 900 for the capture of
the murderer. And SO it went.
The new owner of the Times built
structure with a marvellous tower
Not many years passed before this
great building was inadequate. Then
an annex was built, a marvel of con-
