SEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS.

C''War will cost $4,000. 000. 0OO"l
~ Evenly billion is quite sum
For sending a million to Kingdom
Come,
~ A million men made null and numb,
Slaughtered like common cattle;
But ye spend It, kings and captains. Ye
With the money and lives Of men make
free,
And We hear with ghoulish hell born
The red deaths gurgllng rattle.
Seventy billion Is the cost
OF SO called civilization lost,
OF an age Of science lightly tossed
By the kings on Moloch's altar;
Seventy billion built by toll,
Sweat Of men in the daily MOL.
Given gayly to gods Of spoil
For the sake of their rules Gibraltar.
Seventy billion dollars spent
For kindling hell from AK to Client,
From Rhine to Seine. and the nations rent
And the clock of progress shattered.
Oh, captains. kings and all your crew
That drench the lands with CHASTITY dew,
When the day Of reckoning comes for you
What will your sway have mattered?

LEMONS COME HIGH"
Willie Doak of ST. Louis, Bears
Out Baseball Adage.
Cardinal Pitcher ls as Valuable .
Mound Man as There Is In Ma
tional Leasue-Fine Start to
Better 1914 Record.

Willie Doak Of the Cardinals is one
OF many athletes who bear out the
truth of that baseball adage, Lemons
come high"
Not that Willie is lemon. On the
contrary, he went to the front rank of
National league pitchers in the short
space of one season, but the interest
ing part of 1t is that all he cost the st.
Louis club was the effort to sign him.
Right today Doak is as valuable a
mound man as there is in the National
league. That he can pitch is known
to every man In the circuit. He has
no favorites. and whenever he suffers
a trimming the opposing pitcher or
pitchers and the rest of the team de-
serve all they get. They have to work
for It,
Doak is 'spitball" pitcher with an
assortment of other stuff. Control
coupled with the salivated slant, is his
most valuable asset, but the question
is whether or not he will last as long
as the lads who stick to curves and
speed. Ed Walsh of the Sox. and pos
sihly Larry Cheney of the Cubs stand
as regrettable examples of what the
splitter" will do to an arm OF iron.
Doak came to the Cardinals for car
fare after the Interstate league blew
up in 1918 He fiddled around in the
fall in a few games and clearly dem
onstrated he was lad of marked abil-
ity. The next spring he blossomed
forth over one team after another

Warrior Makes Protest.

And now comes Jack WARRIOR with
a protest on the high pitching mound
at the polo grounds. Batsmen have
been complaining against the extreme
height of the slab firing line. but
WARRIOR is the first pitcher to record
a kick. When it Is considered. how
ever, that the Yank used an under
hand ball it can be readily seen that
too much elevation would prove a
detriment to control and effective
ness. AS a rule the pitcher draw the
benefits from high mound 50 far
