Walter johnson has come through
with another denial OF the story from
New York that he has promised the
Wards to go TO the Federal League ncNt
season.
But why the big pitcher should be
forced 20 deny this recurrent report is
hard TO understand. At the time tho
Feds tried to induce him to sign in the
spring. he told them pointedly that he
rad no intention of talking business un-

last say before taking any definite or-

BASEMENT

Sir Roger Easement, who recent ly visited the Foreign Office at Ser lin where he was received as a repre- sentative of the Irish Nationalists, and obtained assurances from the Imper- ial Chancellor that Germany would not invade Ireland, has long been prominent in South American affairs. He was one of the investigators of the Putumayo scandal Easement has been denounced by the Irish National party leaders have declared that he had no right fo speak for them. It is said that Easement friendship for Germany was due to his belief that the Kaiser's country would challenge the Monroe doctrine, which Case ment has often sdenounced. Case ment began his career in the British consular service in Africa, acting as consul for the Portuguese possessions in West Africa, and as consul to the Gaboon and to the Congo Free State. Eight years ago he was sent to Bra gil as British consul to Santos. The following year he was appointed con sul-generaI to Haiti and San Domingo, but refused the post, and was station ed at Para the Brazilian rubber cen ter, for some time In 1909 he was made British consu1-general at Rio de Janeiro. While occupying that post he was iknighted in recognition of his services in helping to end the barbari- ties practiced on the native workers in the rubber industry. According to the officials of the, United Irish League of New York, Sir Roger Nhas never been in any way connected with the Irish home rule movement in Ire Hand or America, and never friendly to it's objects or policy. but always hostile.'' According to his friend, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Roger had "a strong propessession in favor of Ger many before the war, but this was due to his belief that she was destin- ed to challenge the Monroe doctrine. 9 That Sir Rogers mind is affected is the belief expressed by many of his friends in England. and Sir A. Conan Doyle declarerd: That he should in the full possession of his senses act as a traitor to the country which had em- ployed and honored him is inconceiv- able to any one who knew him.

MAKING OVER sBUTTs
 GETS HIM JAIL TERM

London. Dec. 29.--The butt ends of cigars and cigarettes picked up So in dustriously in the streets by yaga- bonds are not all used for private smoking, as shown. in the case of Isaac Liss. an east end tobaceonist who was fined 100 pounds this week for selling untaxed tobacco- Liss had in his shop 80 pounds of butts and 41,500 cigarettes made of that mater iaI. He bought part of his supplies from a man named Robbins, who sold his picking at the equivalent of S2 cents a pound Cigarettes made of this material brought Iiss two cents each In view of the nature of the business, which carried disease as well as filth from the streets to the mouths of deceived purchasers, the magistrate imposed the extreme sen tence with its alternative of four months in jail on Liss, and the half of that penalty upon the dupe, Robbins.

BRETON MAY HAVE
 JEWISH BATTALION

London, Dec. 29.-Lord Kitchener has given his consent to the formation of a Jewish battalion, although there is still some opposition to the move ment on the part of the Jewish lead ers who say that a Jewish battalion would intensity the tendency to regard the Jews as aliens.
 There are now over 5000 Jews in the British army. The casualty lists disclose wounded Jewish soldiers in many of the regiments at the front, including some of the famous old regiments like the Black Watch A fair showing of Jews is also made in the royal navy.

Lord Lyveden, Leader of
 Anglo-AInericans, 57 Today

Lord Lyveden, commandant and orr ganizeri Of an Anglo-Amerfcan con tingent for service with the British army. was born f1fty-seven years ago to-day. Dec 29, 1851. His father was a. clergyman Rev Hon. Courtenay John Vernon, and his mother the daughter of a. cIergyman- Baron sIyveden succeeded his uncle in the u-s tie about fifteen years ago. The ba- rony of Lyveden is comparatively re- cent. dating from 1859, and carries with it an estate of over 4.000 acres. Lord Lyveden's military experience was gained as an officer of militia. He. has long been known as an authori-| ty on city government, holding the of-|
 flee of president of the British Com 1nfttee for the Study of Foreign Mu-. nicipaI Institutions. Lord 7NLyveden spent many years in America, princi- pa1ly in North Carolina. and his fn-i terest in America inspired his plan for. the organization Of an Anglo-Amerf- can contingent, which is now sup posed to be about ready for. service. The work of organization commenced about four months ago, and it was an nounced at that time that four months would be required to drill and sequip the men. According to Lord Lyveden's plan, the contingent is to be composed of one and a half battaI- ions of infantry, three troops of mounted infantry, or rough riders,f' and maxim, ambulance and transport detachnnents Troops and detach-l ments in a. unique manner. in stead of being numbered are to be named after American cities and states Horses were bought in America The uniform decided on is of khaki with green facings, while the badge of the contingent is an American eagle.

WOUNDED. SOLDIERS
 IN BOX AT OPERA

Paris, Dec. 29.-It cannot be said that the first performances of the Theatre F'rancais and the Opera Com ique marked the revival of the the atre in Paris. Many things combined to make the success of the season problematic, aside from the heavy weight of war Transportation facili- ties are still reduced and the early closing regulation makes late hours inconvenient. In consequence, for the present, amusement will be mostly confined to benefit matinees, and these. it may be said, have had a real success.
 At the Opera Comique one of the most interesting and successful at fractions of the first performance was the presence of a number of wounded officers and soldiers in the place of honor in the presidential box. When Monsieur Gheusi director of the Op- era Comique, asked President Pefncare for the authorization to accord the wounded soldiers the presidential cer- emonial and the presidential box, the president replied:
 "It is, indeed. the least than can bo done for them
 As soon as the officers were per ceived in the box they provoked a, de- lirious burst of enthusiasm, and from all parts of the house the MarseillaiSe 4
 ever, followed it's course, and the inst orchestral number gave rise to cu- rious error.
 Eveyone supposed from the first strains that it was the Servian Ns- {. tional Hymn and Jumped to their feet crying, Long Live serviast' 1t was the overture of the Black Domino. = The audience had satisfaction. how ever, when Mademo-se11e ChenaI ap- l peared, draped in the three eoIors, to sing the Marseilladse.
 A great many demands have been 1 made for the production of the patr1- otic piece t'Patrie' at the Theatre Francafs, with NBounet-Su1ly in the leading role, and it is booked for as early a presentation as the dihfcul- ties of staging it will permit. The 1 trouble is the lack of machintsts and l the Complicated setting of Sardou's
 important work.
 Of course the inevitable has hap i pened. The name of King Albert, the popular hero of the war, has been placed under contribution by amuse- l ment enterprises and other inst1tu- | tions, and in some cases with rather I doubtful propriety. Paris now has It's Theatre-AIbert l., and in this case the adoption of the name has it's req
 son as the company is composed o1 eBlgian refugees, and the pieces pre- l sented are mostly of Belgian origin
 All of the national matinees to take place here will have the co-operation l Of the Concert society of the con- 1 servatory, under the direction of Mon sieur Andre Messager, former admin I istrator of the opera.
