MUCH PEACE TALK
 IN HOLLAND NOW Immediate Peace Possible if Neutrals Help,
 Is Claim

Rotterdam. August 10--tN.a London, S:l9 a. m.)-There is much talk in Hol- land of the possibility of opening a peace discussion between the belligerents. The Courant publishes article from an anonymous diplomatic source urging that an immediate peace might be possible. if not easy. and recommending that the press of neutral countries undertake the task of of mediation and reconciling and removing the. errors. t
 The Dutch Antiwar league. at a meet ing last week at The Hague, adopted resolution urging the Dutch government to call a conference in the interest of peace. the conference to sit until the end of the war for the purpose of pre- pairing and introducing mediation meas ures at the proper time,
 attracted wide attention in Holland, says In part:
 Although the prospects of the Ger manic powers now are better than they ever were before. they cannot hope for settlement by battle and. therefore. wiser counsels may prevail. As to the British 1t is not impossible that they timately will listen to the voice of reason. There is no reason why the opponents should offer conditions that would only prolong the war unduly, There are increas asnz signs that international hatred is decreas- ing Tn the not too distant future the peoples of Europe will demand to know how theswar is still to last"

BILL SCHWARTZ ID RETIRE AS MANAGER Volunteer Pilot Will Leave Nashville Team After
 This Season

Nashville. Tenn, August 9.--(Special) Declaring that he had three attractive business propositions in sight for next season and was anxious to be relieved of managerial worries, William c. Schwartz who. since 1910. has piloted the Nashville club, announced tonight his intention to retire from baseball next season.
 The announcement while a surprise to many. was expected by the intimate friends of the Vols manager. who were aware that he accepted the managerial reins this spring with the understanding that this would be his last year.
 President Shropshire of the local club. when informed that Manager Schwartz expected to retire next season, stated he had never discussed the matter with the Vols leaders. nor had he made any ar arrangements for a proba ble successor
 T consider Bill Schwartz an excellent man in baseball matters said President Shropshire, and while he may have de- cided to retire, I myself may not be will ing to part with his services
 The announcement of his intention to leave the local club next season, was in measure brought to a head by rumors about the league that he would be sup planted by Charlie Frank of New Or leans, a story to that effect having been sent out from Nashville. President Shrop- shire empahtically denied that he had ever had negotiations with Frank, as a manager for the local club, but was loud in his praise of Frank as judge of players.
 Bill Schwartz, since he took over the management in 1910, had finished fourth three times, fifth once and seventh once.
