President Wilson and Ambassador
Naon OF Argentine have been ex-
changing compliments. Mr. Wilson
said. at a luncheon in his honor given
by Dr. Naon. that there is a growing
sympathy and understanding between
the United States and the other ma
tons OF this hemisphere. The Ar
gentine diplomat responded in SINH
lar terms. Let it be hoped that these
fine phrases do represent a real SEN
timent OF continental unity.
Apparently the reason for the
cOurtship of South America has been
in the past that our manufacturers
might sell farm machinery, steel, and
boots and shoes south OF the equator.
This is OF course a laudable ambition.
But IL is not strange that our southern
neighbors do not warm up very rapid
" TO any dollar bill filtration.
Many Englishmen still think that
painted and war whooping Indians
are yet roaming the prairie not far
from Chicago. Similarly our people
look at South America as country
OF revolutions, fever, swamps, and
half breeds. Actually the great cities
OF the southern hemisphere are in the
fore front OF the world in their beauty
and convenience. Science. art. and
business enterprise are achieving
great triumphs under the southern
cross.
Europe's madness has shown that
the American hostility TO kings and
titled orders has been well based.
That antagonism 70 feudal aristocracy
has been shared equally by North and
South America 1t is a principle of
similarity that runs through both con-
tinents alike.
The South American republics may
have been turbulent. but for the most
part they have lived at peace with
each other. Their culture" has never
evolved any doctrine OF militarism.
Europe's shame should evolve a new
respect for their nearly unbroken in
ternational harmony. Politically they
are good Americans in spirit. II is
time 70 stop calling them dagOes, to
cultivate their friendship as we'll as
TO solicit their dollars

STARRING OUT" PROCESS.

Now Holland threatens to announce
an embargo upon shipments OF food
to Germany because Of the sinking of
the Dutch steamer Medea by a Ger
man submarine. The European war
is resolving itself into Dennybrook
free-for-all When a head hobs up
somebody has a shillelah ready TO bat
it nor does it matter much to whom
il belongs.
But the disaffection of the Neither
lands Is likely 10 prove really serious
for Germany. Just now its main hope
Of securing supplies from the outside
is by way of Holland and TO antagon-
ize that country, which has been thus
far absolutely neutral, with possibly
a leaning toward Germany's side,
looks like bad business.

FOR THE BRIDGES, SAKE.

Col. Epes Randolph. president of
Mexico. openly advocates intervention
by the United States in Mexico and
condemns the watchful waiting policy.
He declares ii is destructive, not con-
structive and a pitiful policy

decided change of heart. 1t was
not so very long ago when the thought
OF American Intervention in Mexico
was abhorrent to the Southern Pacific

Toe Rivers. Badly Beaten, Returns Home
BY JOHN e wRAY.

1T LOUIS, MO. Feb. 5.-Schuyler
Britton, president of the St Louis
- National league club, can find one
source Of consolation over his 1915
baseball outlook and that is the certain
ty that he'll have close to $4,000 less to
pay out to players.
When Magee, Perritt and Wingo de-
parted they left a salary uplift of at
least $4,000. Had they been retained
at the figures they asked this year 1t
would have been cost of over $4,000
to the Cards. Also Britton is not per-
mitted to hand out any 10 and 20 per-
cent bonuses for performance, this
wear, the league Directing This should
save his club in the neighborhOOd Of
$4,000 to $4,000. Allowing for three
new men at an average salary OF $4,000,
to be acquired in place Of the dear de-
parted. SKY will be in pocket in the
neighbOrhood of $4,000, right off the
bat.
The club may do quite as well next
year, despite the loss of the trio. Brit
ton thinks, although Perritt and Ma
gee will be missed.
In any case, the National league boss
argues that the club was discredited for
nearly half of last season and did not
attract good gates" until late in the
season. With fair success this year,
Britton sees an opportunity to cling to a
little coin-more net profit than last
season.
It's an optimistic world, Bo!

Fielder Jones will need all his skill
to jockey his present baseball outfit in
to a contending place in the Federal
league, this year. unless some radical
additions are made to the individual
prOXimate makeup of the club:
The team is improving in appearance,
but it still is a long, long way from
Penantviue. Here's the present ap
prOXimate makeup of the clug:

We signed up the champion Of each
class and trouped them for four weeks
in the principal eastern cities, giving
boxing exhibitions with sparring part
ners and each man was ready to meet
a conner of his own class forfeiting $50

three rounds

champion of the world; Packey McFar-

Luther McCarty white heavyweight
champion at that time. Now here we
had five men leading the various class

five had ever during his lifetime, tasted
alcoholic liquors in any form and not
one ever used tobacco in any form. Now
