GEORGE BELL SURPRISES
BY SENDING IN CONTRACT

Harry Smiths Cham
piOns.

When Harry Smiths baseball days
are over he may hang out a single
and tell fortunes. The Bengal man
ager is unusually skillful in making
predictions. About a fortnight ago
Smith was asked If he thought George
Bell would come into the fold this
year. Smith replied that he felt sure
George would line I'D without any
trouble. The Tiger leader remarked
at the time that George had been
retiring from baseball every season
for the last ten years or SO, but that
the call of the game was too much
for the Academy Corners gentleman
to resist. Bells signed contract was
received at baseball Headquarters
yesterday.
The big right-handed twirler writes
that with a few warm DAYS he will
speedily round into shape. He has
been kept busy on his tobacco farm
in the keystone State, and while
Mrs. Bell objects to his long absence
during the playing season George
has decided to try it for Just one
more season"
Bell won his share of games for
the newark cluD last year, even
though he was not as consistent as
IN 1912. Bell is one of those twirlers
who is at his best when most is at
stake, and Harry Smith is delighted
TO have him IN line again.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 4.-The move
uent for couscription in Great Britain
progresses rapidly. Men who are in
close touch with public sentiment are
predicting today that conscription will
come before Christmas
The addition of Turkey to the array
of belligerents affects British interests
ON two fronts. 1t necessitates more
men for the defense of Egypt on one
hand. ON the other hand the detection
OF a part of Russia's forces against
Turkey may decrease the Russian pres
sure against the German and Austrian
,irmies and require correspondingly
greater efforts by the allies against
Germany in France and Belgium.
Great Britain would gladly have kept
Turkey o<It of the European struggle.
Russia. however. welcomed the agSres-
sion of the Turk, which Russians hope
will result in the fulfillment of the en-
peror's am billions in the near east, fore
most among them the occupation OF
Constantinople and the expulsion OF
Turkish rule across the BoSporuS into
Asia. Under these circumstances the-.
is a prospect that Russia will divert
much of her strength to fighting the
Turk and be content to go slow with
her plans for the invasion of Ger
many.
