GREATEST ART1LLERY DUEL.
Battle of Cannon Along the Aisne
Has Never Been Equaled.

Battle of Cannon Along the Aisne
Has Never Been Equaled.
Games II. Hare in Leslie's.)
French officers of high rank have
told me that the artillery fighting
along the River Aisne near Scissors
made a new record in warfare; that
never before had there been such des-
perate fighting between heavy guns,
and perhaps never before such
slaughter as the Germans and allies
inflicted on each other. Certainly I
can well believe 1t after having the
roar of the guns in my ears for five
days and nights, and after watching
day by day the havoc wrought by
gigantic shells and vicious sharpnel.
The long trains of wounded being
brought from h front, the hurrying
troops sent forward to take their
places, the homeless driven from the
area Of fighting, the crowds Of pris-
oners herd3d to the rear and the exc
cution of spies and pillagers were the
aftermath of a contest Of tremendous
import. e.,
Then 800 German prisoners. a cou-
pie Of German spies h~andcuffed to-
gether and evidently prepared to pay
the penalty awarded to spies, the
French soldiers looking somewhat
alphabetically at them. Next a dog
en- French soldiers caught pillaging
tne oead. THESE were jeered at by
their late comrades as were a party
OF civilian Frenchrnen also caught nil
Laying. who were preceded by apriest
with a crucifiX and accompanied by
two acolytes, evidently going to Of
tciate at the grave Of said outlaws.
n so it went on day after day, each
day apparently bringing better scenes
than previous ones, and 1 not allowed
to photograph them. The French Sc
cret service men accompanied us
around town and conf1scated my cam
era and all the films 1 had exposed, All
this time the artillery had hardly
ceased firing day or night since our ar
rival. In fact we were told it had be-
gun several days before we had reach
ed there.
The general opinion Is that the wal
will not end oon It Is said that
Great Britain will raise another army
Of a million men to be ready for the
field next spring. The success Of the
Germans in Belgium has fully aroused
the nation to the danger that threat
ems 1t. 1 believe that England will
be sending new troops to the front aft
er both France and Germany are I'M
able to raise n more men. It would
no surprise me to see Lord Kitchen
Ell take the field himself at the oppor-
tune time. Certainly he Is the idol of
the army and OF the nation. and it
would be an Inspiring thing for him
to be at the front. At present he

NO JUGGLING At MESA

MESA, June 27.-Mesa cantaloupe
growers are much interested In the
allegations made by government a.
gents at Chicago that a combination
OF commission merchants controls the
prices Of fruits, vegetables and melons
particularly cantaloupes
An investigation OF the alleged trust
is now going on In the circuit court In
Chicago. One Of the principal witness
SEES Is S. A. Gerard, Cincinnati
commission dealer who handles much
Of the Salt River valley crop and
maintains an office In Mesa.
For some reason the government at
torneys are concentrating on the can
taloupe situation. Thew allege that
the trust has decreed on several oc-
casions that cantaloupes shall rot in
the fields, In order TO keep up prices.
No catalogues have ever rotted in
the Mesa fields. The commission men
have accepted ali the local growers
could produce and usually the prices
have been satisfactory

HIGH SALARIES IN
BASEBALL ENORMOUS
Old Time Salaries Can Be Com
pared Like a Pony to an Ele-
plant With Those of Today.

Comparing the baseball salaries Of
the present day with those Of the past
is lust like comparing a pony to an
elephant-there's just that much diff
ference in the general bulk Of the pay
envelope.
Amos Rusie. regarded by many Of
the veteran fans who have seen the
best Of the past and present perform
ers, as Just about the greatest pitcher
Of all time, got only a paltry $4,000 a
year in comparison to Walter John
sons S13.5OO. MathewsOn's $4,000,
Joe Woods $4,000 and Nap Fuckers
$4,000. The amount that Amos used
to draw down for his brilliant work is
an amount that even twirlers fresh
from the bushes would sneeze at in
these days.
George Van Haltern had few peers
as a base runner, few az a fielder and
thrower, few as a brainy player and
usually could be counted on for a
goodly number of safe sWats each
season. In the old days George vas
figured TO be Of as much value to his
team as Iris Speaker is today, yet
George grabbed off only S2,100 year,
while Iris Speaker takes unto him
self about $18,500.
Herman Long takes rank as the
very best shortstop the game has
ever known. Yet Herman got only
about $1,000 for his labors-a sum
that is less than half that paid any of
the major league shortstops OF the
present day.
II big Dan" Brouthers were in his
prime today he could cOmmand-and
get-at least $4,000 a year. But Dan
played in the old days Of poor pay
and was perfectly Satisfied with the
81 800 salary that he drew.
year-and he was worth 10000 at
least, according to present day stan
dards. Tim Keefe had few equals as
a pitcher, yet he only got S2,4o0. And
John Ward, who thought nothing OF
pitching about sixty games a season,
and playing in the outfield the rest
of the time, got only $4,000,
