The war between Germany and the

indignant over the treatment of one
of their number. and they are showing
their feelings toward him in numerous

PEACE IN BASEBALL WOULD

oppose any attempt to discipline play

their contracts should be dealt with
leniently. he said.

the immediate effect would be to re-
store automatically to full membership

tract jumpers"
In regard to contract jumpers, Fultz
said:
The magazines should remember that

contract there has been a magnate, an
older and more experienced man who
, has induced him to do so. If these mag
mates are to be purged of alleged guilt

Tho usual hail of steel and the surg

Belgium seemed to have met with OBJ =
stacles today, for the roar of cannon
was less violent and the troops scarce :
ly came in contact with each other.
1t is generally believed here that new
foundations started by the Belgians put
many German guns out of action and
also prevented troop movements.
ut is almost impossible to gain an
accurate insight into the prodigious
action that Is stretching over the 300
mile front. Continuous German night
marches and attacks. which have been

are said to have resulted in a consid-
