TRAPPE, Md, February 1s.-J.
Franklin Baker, at his home here, con-
firmed the statement made by Manager
Connie Mack Of the Athletics that he
had retired from the game for good.
When asked for a statement as to why
he quit, Baker replied:
II have decided to quit the Athletics
for the sole reason that 1 am sick and
tired of travelling around the country"
said Baker. For some time past 1
have had my fill of jaunting around.

Connie that would not play again. 1

President Wilson's Marriage.

The announcement is made that
President Wilson is to take unto him
self another wife. This is as it
should be, and sensible man that he
is, merely fulfilling a law of man
and God 1t is well that all men
should be mated with woman, and
if the choice should prove a means
of Happiness, then it will rebound to
the glory of God and man. The
Mistress of the White House is a
most important necessity, and it is
to be presupposed that the President
has chosen a woman who will reflect
the same type of honor upon the
nation that one would naturally sup
pose his choice would develop.
The interest of the American peo-
pie is naturally great in this national
marriage, and every interest is al
ready being evinced in the coming
nuptials. The whole world warns
to the mere suggestion of wedding,
and the President has only increased
the public interest in his personal
welfare That the new partner of
his tolls will be given cordial well
come by the nation, goes without
saying.

was willing to pay for at an exces-
sive profit to him.
This was legitimate, but is it fair?
There are many who say that
they would like to take the contract
of furnishing Ford cars at $3.50 each.
Others think $75 a good total esti-
mate of their cost. But taking even
a higher figure, say 5000, as the cost
of a Ford touring car, and $500 as
the selling price, there is your $780,
100000 a year clean, net profit to
Mr.. Ford No wonder he can re-
turn $15,O00,000 of this to Ford
owners.
AS soon as Ford got to where his
product was staple, he Immediately
became arrogant and butted in on
national affairs. He is now a peace
at-any-price exponent, and has an
nounced his determination to with
draw all funds from any bank that
subscrbes a dollar to the half bill
lion credit loan to the Allies of
Europe.
The Canadian Government, sens
ing disloyality to its cause in Mr..
Ford's announcement, has come back
with counter act, and declares it
will not allow Ford cars to be used
by it's government. There we have
retaliation on a reduced scale, but
it involves, also, very fine prin-
ciple.
Mr. Ford is on Secretary Daniels
board of naval advisors, and the first
thing he did was to assert his ability
to devise a gasolene submarine that
would put Germany's best efforts in
submarine manufacture to the blush.
OF course, no man may with justice
say that Ford has not been bene-
factor to mankind with his little
motor car. But is it not true that
mankind has paid the price several
times over? Even Rockefeller, with
all his millions has never yawped as
much as Ford. But since money
talks" maybe the automobile pro-
Queer is merely fulfilling the func-
tions of an old adage.
Ford's asserting that Europe's
war debt should be repudiated is an
other evidence that he is at least
cratic.

the engineer. The present incumbent is,
in changing the offices OF the county,
in for several years more, and he is
not going to yield so certain a
strangle hold as he now possesses
without a fight that will make the
fur fly. This must be expected.
But the main thing to be looked
for is the general, all around house
cleaning that both parties are pledged
to institute. Why, the dear old
county will not know itself. To go
into the court house and miss the

German Strategy and Fitness.

In looking for reason as to why
the great English fleet of warships
has been of so little value, it has per-
haps not occurred to many that Ger
many has out-maneouvered England
even on sea.
The general belief prevails that
the English have the German fleet
bottled up in the Kiel canal.
Isn't exactly the opposite true?
Have not the Germans got the
English bottled up? Under ordinary
conditions England could have gone
right up to the German coast on the
Baltic and smashed her way in. But
with submarines and carefully laid
fields of mines, England does not
dare turn hair.
So, if there is any real advantage
in the game of strategy, Germany
on points alone is ahead of the game,
and this admission is a mere ac-
knowledgement of a fact. If Ger
many does not dare come out with
her ships, England does not dare go
in with hers.
Every mine that dots the German
coast is spotted on a chart. They
know where each one is. England
realizes this danger and hides her
own fleet, heaven knows where.
Far stronger on land, as the war
has shown, Germany has proven her
right and title to being the greatest
fighting people of all history. They
may not be any more courageous or
any Drawer than others-perhaps
they are not. But in war equipment
generally; in war brains; in war
generalship; in war strategy; in the
ensemble of her preparedness, she
seems to have made herself i'm
pregnable to the approach of an
enemy from any quarter. Russia
came closer to getting at Germany's
throat than any other country when
she invaded East Prussia and Gal
licia. But in each case she was
driven out bodily by superior war
skill.
That is the story of Germany's
present position. 1t may be said
that she is fighting the whole world,
and if she loses, no one knows what
will happen. But if she should win,
the English, French, Russian, and
Italian fleets will all be hers.
If Germany loses, her loss will be
