MUSKOGEE HAS FIRED
NUMBER OF VETERANS
Have gcvcr New Faces Than ANY
W. \. Team Of 1914
Circuit.

II iS a noticeable fact that Nus-
koEec viii have almost as new :, line
up of players As an" team ia the West
ern association Paris and Sherman
when given hcrths IN the w. a. pos
sesSed for Hhe most part nothing more
than a franchise. sherman has pur-
chased an entire team since ihCn and
Paris has. been recruiting large
field of players for the spring try-out.
Denisons McAlester. Tulsa, Oklahoma
city and Fort Smith will all have
more old men i'm the field this season
than will Muskogee. And some Of
the faces that will not appear in the
Met lineup this year were those Of
star players, too.
"Swampy" Thompson Is gone, fans
know not where. VI. J. Lamme told
him last fall he could never play IN a
MuskOgee uniform again. Last Janu.
arv Lamme, softcned by the appeal OF
friends of the former Met manager
granted "Swampy" his release so that
he could play with other teams.
Yardley has gone back TO Waco OK
the Texas league. "Red" Webbcr, the
popular catcher Of the Nets last soae
son, is pounding an anvil In Kansas
City. Red IS a blacksmith from the
toes up. First Baseman Smiser Is now
a professor in small college. Paddy
Mayes, outfielders after sensational
career which carried him 10 the
majors. Is at last through. Iarmuth
is back in the newspaper game. Joe
LikowsN is holding out FOR bigger
pay and all hopes of his wearing a
Met uniform have been abandoned.
Cy Morgan, Joe Williams and Tddle
Palmer are the only boys remaining
from the old bunch and with the new
men these three will be expected TO
form an organization superior la ev.
cry way to the team of.l914.

theorN that he had lost his usefulness
as diplomat and bungled things.
For a time one Of the most popular
diplomats in Washington and one
whose efforts had at times been ex-
tremely useful to this country and his
own. 1t Is regarded as almost out OF
the question now for him to continue
his tenure here and be Of much value.
Administration officials cannot over
look that he undertook to promote a
secret and underhanded method OF
striking at American manufacturing
plants engaged in a business recog-
nized by law to be legal.

Might Be Clash.
The difficult fact stands out. how
ever, that II the Austrian government
is going to insist on living UP to it's
doctrines relative to authority over
Austrians in this country. then there
Ia bound to be a collision between the
two governments which the mere with
drawal or recall CT DR.. Dumba cannot
solve. Presumably, the successor of
Dr. Dumba would be required oy his
government to hold the same official
Views.
A phase OF the matter which Is
deemed Of importance here relates TO the
question of how far this Government
would be justified in going in protest
against plans and views OF the Austria n
government or its embassy which had
not actually been put into practice.
In other words, assertion by the Aus
trian government OF a right and pur-
pose to take a certain course, though
Objectionable, Is not on the same plane
as the actual carrying Of plans into
effect.
But on the other hand, this Govern
ment might well feel that II would be
the part Of wisdom 20 warn the AUS
trian government against proceeding to
carry out its plans since the United
States could not tolerate them.

firmed the report that the passport is
sued to James F. J. Archibald. the
American correspondent who acted as
messenger for Ambassador Dumba. had
been Cancelled.
Furthermore, Secretary Lansing will
probably have a conference with Archi-
bald when the latter returns to this

done. but indicated It was possible.
by direction OF Secretary Lansing,
the Bureau OF Citizenship and Nat
uralization has annulled the pass
to Minister Van Dyke at The Hague
to issue an emergency passport to
enable Archibald to return home.
The emergency passport Will pro-
tect Archibald from detention In any
foreign country as a spy.

there were two separate raids on Lon
don during the night. A cable message
last night stated that eastern coun-
ties had been raided 1t was evident
from the time of filing Of this dispatch
that this raid was made early In the
evening.
4 second cable message was received
carly today. reporting another raid
and stating that details as to casualties
would be given out later. 1t Is thought
possible this second raid was made sew
eral hours later. possibly in the early
hours Of this morning.

notified today that italy had put cot

The contraband announcement. though
not in the form Of an official communi-
cetion to the Washington Government
was conclusive.
At both the embassies It was said
the step did not represent a new Italian
policy, but that the order automa tically
became necessary through Italy's en-
trance into the war.
By making II known definitely that
the Commodity was contraba nd, II was
exLlained that italy counted on avoid
