T0MAEE PEACE WITHHI5ENEMY
Says Any Peace Agreement Must Be Made to Include

viii All Stand or Fall Together; the Magnates
Are Too Tender SIX inned For Criticism.
BY DAMON RUNYON.

TEw YORK. Oct. est seems
M that we have been vOciferously
= crying peace when there is no
peace. At least, if there is, the Fed
eraI league has not heard Of 1t, and
the Federal league was supposed to be
as intensely interested IN peace as An
drew Carnegie
According to an announcement made
By James A. Gilmore. president Of the
Feds. the meeting Of the league here
devoted itself to routine matters. and
there was no talk Of arranging a set
Element Of the war with organized
baseball.
There may have been no talk in the
meeting, but We can assure Mr.. Gil
more that there has been great deal
OF gossip on the subject Immediately
surrounding the meeting, and If the
Fed magnates desire any oft-hand sug-
geStlOns they can readily acquire same
by listening a few minutes on the out
skirts of any little group in the lobby
Of the Baltimore.
That the men in the employ OF the
Federal leaguers have no other
thought than a continuance Of the
campaign is indicated by the attitude
and plans Of the managers Larry
Schafley, the Buffalo leader, and Otto
knabe, boss at Baltimore, are already

tours, and their conversation shows
plainly that they have enlisted for the
war.
Will stick Together.
Gilmore said that there will be no
peace unless all the men who have
stuck to the Feds are taken care OF,
and this presumably means both mag
mates and players They are all going
TO sink OF swim together, which is a
most cOmmendable spirit under the
more to a term Of five years is another
indication that the Feds have laid
their plans for permanency in base
ball.
One way and another, Gilmore seems
to be quite a remarkable individual
His work TO date would indicate that
he IS Just about as resourcefuI and
energetic a character as has come into
baseball in years ANY man who can
jump out at a time when times were
supposed TO be adam3nr and money
tighter than the draw Strings on Louie
Drucke'S purse. and can interest a lot
of reputable business men in a base
bali proposition, as Gilmore has done,
must be a remarkable person
More than that. however. Gilmore is
keeping his associates in line even
though they have taken considerable
financial punishment this past year,

Though Mr.. Weeghman is compare

about Criticism.
Nowadays. it seems. any person hold
ing an opinion contrary TO the opinion
OF the baseball pOwers-however hon
est that persons opinion may be-or
any person offering Critcism-hoW-
ever honest and truthful that criticism
may be-is a knocker, or maybe
worse. This is not the attitude of all
magnates, Of course. but it is the at
titude of a lot Of them, ard IL is the
attitude of quite a lot Of ball players,
too
Statements that may be an insult TO
the intelligence are expected to be
taken in all seriousness. fragrant lies
are supposed to be swallowed as gos-
pei truth The price paid for a ball
player, the salary Of a ager-these
are minor instances Of common pre-
varication among some of the mag
mates, and any disbelief is attributed
to a desire to harm the club involved
All newspaper criticism. is resented,
and vet the newspapers are the life Of
baseball. They could prove 1t in about
two weeks by the very simple expedi-
ent of dropping out the standing OF
the clubs-Only that, and nothing
more.
Same True of Boxing.
The attitude referred to here is true
not only of baseball, but it is very true
Of boxing. Promoters viii cook up
palpably one-sided match, and then
feel aggrieved if there is any criti-
cism- a boxer will make a rotten fight
and viii scream in chorus with his
manager If any one is so thOughtless
as TO mention the fact
Some Of tne Federal 1eaguers have
been even more guilty Of misrepresen-
tatiOn than the older leagues.
There is no desire on the part Of any
one to give the Federals anything but
a fair deal, as is indicated by the fact
that they were accepted as a major
league on the strength Of their self
proclamation. even before they had
demonstrated their big league capa-
bilities, but il is pretty hard to follow
the divers and sundry maneuverings Of
the magnates without an occasional
slip.

"The Russians are retiring along

feature of yesterdays news from the

While there is no confirmation
from other sources such n move ON

in line with the announcements in

Russians, threatened on both flanks,
had decided to take up new positions

launched against them by the Austro-
Germans from the Carpathians to

us on previous occa sions. follow the
Russians in Poland. another big bat
tie will soon be in progress which
may decide whether the Germans are
to get to Warsaw or whether the
Russians arc again to threaten an in
vasion of Germany.
. The German and French official
communications do not disclose much
of what is going on in the west, but
il is apparent that the allies are still
on the offensive from the coast to La
Bassee and at various other points
along the front. While not very
marked advances are reported, the
French claim to have made some
progress and to have organized the
ground which they gained during the
preceding days. The Germans, on the
other hand. assert that the attacks
by the allies have been repulsed.

JONH CORBETT CHOSEN
PRESIDENT OF c. Of c.
ONLY TWO ARE NEW MEMBERS


As II result Of the annual election
Tuesday evening at the chamber Of
Office on Gold avenue the
following officers aud board Of d.
rectors were selected to carry on the
work of the Deming Chamber Of Com
merce for the ensuing year: John
Corbrtt, president; DIR. p. NJ. Steed.
treasurer; J. A. Mahoney, DIR. J. g..
Moir, A. W. Pollard, A. A. Temke,
II. II. Kelly, G. J. Laugrhen, and Z.
X. Vallandigham, directors.
The vote was a compliment to the
previous board since only two new
members were elected and John Cor
bett was the unanimous choice for
president. Only twenty-one members
Of the chamber of commerce signified
II choice, the others not voting, be-
cause there was no issue and believ-
ing that the present board would
succeed itself without any opposi-
ton. The present board has the
work well in hand and without doubt
will give the city the benefit Of its
unselRsh and highly efficient serv-
ices with the same zeal which il dis
played last year. This, at least, ia
the consensus of opinion on the part
of those who hold the work of the
organization to be Of the first import
ance to the advancement of Deming's 5
enterprises.
The vote in detail was as follows
John Corbett. 81; DR.. P. N. Steed,
81: j. A. Mahoncy, 90; DR.. j. q.
Moir, 81: A. W. Pollard, 81; A. A.
Temke, 90; II. II. Kelly, 10; c. j.
Lauehren. 10; E. R. vallandigham,
II: O. r. Bailey, 10; R. L. Miller, o.
Il is a matter Of congratulation
that a member Of the newspaper fra
ternity of Deming has an opportunity
to give the new board the benefit OF
suggestions as to advertising values
since one of the chief functions Of
the board is to advertise the CON-
munity. The local papers have giver
without stint to the cause Of pub
licity and il is but just that the,
should have voice in the placing
of foreign advertising.
While the selection Of secretar,
for the coming year is up to the new
hoard, il seems there is little doub,
but that W. f. Holt, the present ef'
acient incumbent, will be the unani
nous choice.
