MAGNATES
NEGOTIATING PEACE
The American and National
Leagues Appoint Represen-
tatives to Consult Feds

New York, Dec. 1S.-Prospects for a
peace pact between organized baseball
and the Federals in the next few hours
were bright today when the National
commission and Federal representatives
went into a conference.
Withdrawal of the Federal league IS
antitrust suit now pending before Fed
eral Judge Landis at Chicago, disposi-
and of the Federal plants caused an un-
expected hitch in the negotiations.
While there is no fear that these points
will prevent ultimate peace, it may re-
quire all winter to unravel the knot.
At their meeting yesterday, the
American and National committees
delegated the National commission to
confer with the Federals and negotiate
for peace.
The meeting was said to have been
not entirely harmonious, but it is un'
derstood that plans for the pact have
progressed so far that the phraseology
of the agreement is under discussion.
1t is believed the following terms will
be among those included in the peace
PLAN;
Seventy-two players who have con
tracts with the Federals will be taken
over by organized baseball.
There will be only one club in Brook
lyn. George s. Ward will be paid for
the use of Washington park for 20
years.

THE MODERN GRADUATE
New York World. ]

Critics of American colleges, and
particularly those who think they dis
Germ a decline of student quality and
caliber, should take heart from Presi-
dent Hadley's eulogy of the Yale boys.
"The present-day undergraduate" he
says, lis higher development of CIV
ilization than his father or his elder
brother" and in spite of the inroads
of luxury and extravaganza, there is
to-day more intellectual life in the
place than at any period have
known"
His Endorsement of student charac-
ter should reassure the doubters. DR..
Charles F. Thwing some years ago
showed that of the college graduates
filling the highest political and ju-
dicial offices, Yale had trained the
largest number, and taking that fact
in connection with the improvement OF
undergraduate intellectually and to-
gether with President Lowells state
ment that a man reaches his prime
at 23, it is apparent the country has
no reason to despair. The colleges
will come to the rescue, with Yale in
the van.
Certainly, if Yale boys are more ad-
vanced than their fathers, we may
logically expect at once another and
greater Taft, and a greater Louns-
bury in literature and Sumner in po-
litical science. Doubtless this year s
graduating class contains some one
already greater even than Hadley
Perhaps there is also a new Walter
Camp on the list.

to be placed in this country, the move
ment is likely to continue and inter-
national experts predict that dollars
may become worth $1.10 or more,
measured in pounds sterling, instead
of $1.02 as at present.
An expression often used in con-
nection with the present movement is
that New York has displaced London
as the worlds financial center. This
is true temporarily as this is the only
market in which neutral nations can
secure credit, but it is not likely tc

trade balance of $1,000, 900, 900 in her

rate, the war certainly is bringing
temporary prosperity to the United

THE DAY OF THE DOLLAR

TIME SITUATION IN tne international
money market during the past
week, with the decline of foreign
exchange to the lowest point ever
reached, has attracted public attention
to a subject that ordinarily is left en-
tirely to bankers doing a foreign busi-
ness.
The decline of approximately two
per cent. in the price of sovereigns,
francs and other forms of European
money really involved factors of great
popular interest. Briefly it means
that the American dollar is worth
more to-day than ever before in it's
history, measured in the currency of
other leading nations. The cause of
the present situation is that the United
States Is selling abroad far more than
1t is buying, while the usual expendi-
ture by American travellers, amount

ONLY A sLIGHT SHAKE

From the Baltimore American.
Deplorable as were the effects of the
shake in Southern California, the seis-
mic disturbance was not of a nature
to cause grave concern. The amount
of real damage done was not consider
able and the reported casualties, al
ways sad, were not numerous, even II
the fact of such should be substan-
tiated. There is not the slightest pos
slbilty of the incipient quake in a re-
mote part of the State being the pre-
cursor of wider shakes.
California was at one time, visited
with a serious earthquake, the first
calamitous one in its historical rec
ord; and there is not likely to be an
other such In the State for genera
tions, If at all. So that the slight
seismic outburst that has been eX-
perienced is only such as might oc-
cur in this or any other locality.
AS a matter of fact not twenty
being recorded by the sensitive in
struments that keep tab on them, and
many of these occur in the mountain
GUS regions of the eastern States,
but they are so slight as often to es-
cape notice.
Thus earthquakes are normal oc-
currents and only very rarely do they
gather force to cause catastrophes,
Hence California is not unduly dis
turbed and certainly the rest of the
country is not, over the seismic occur
renee, any more than the country has
been disturbed over the volcanic erup-
\tions of Mount Shasta.

DOWN WITH THE ARC LIGHTS

A RC lights for street illumination
n are obsolete. They are neither
so efficient nor so cheap to
operate as the modern standard lights.
This is we'll illustrated in Harrisburg
by comparison of conditions in the
heart of the city with those in the
outlying districts, where the old-fash-
loned type of swinging arc is still in
use.
1t is to be hoped that Commissioner
Harry f. Bowman will succeed in his
effort to have the standard system ex-
tended to all parts of the city. This
must be done eventually and the
sooner the better. The wires must
come down. The center of the city
affords such an excellent example of
the desirability of putting the remain
der of town on a similar basis that
there is no argument whatever against
It save that of cost, and it is to be
hoped that some way will be found to
finance the improvement, which is one
Of the most important and desirable
that now confronts the city.

WHAT WILL BE THE HARVEST? g?
[Ohio State Journal. ]

Perhaps 100, 900 boys and girls have
graduated this Spring from the col
leges and high schools and are about
to figure in the future activities of the
country. How much this great body
of young men and women should affect
American purpose and sentiment! How
much better the world should be now
than it ever was before! But this all
depends upon the sort of education
they got. 1t was simply knowledge
skill and literary taste that was added
to their lives; the world will go on
pretty much as it has. without feeling
the slightest impulse from their pres
ence. If 1t is the old race for pleasure
a zeal for getting rich, a display Of the
old selfishness. all the work of the
educational institutions will come to
naught.
May it be far otherwise. May these
youth go forward prepared to suffer
and sacrifice for the truth of life, to
take in a broader vision of duty than
the world has now, to show that
humility President Wilson spoke OF
which is the best sign of culture, to cut
away from the mere show and tinsel OF
life. it's vanity and extravaganza. and
stand for that simplicity of living
which is the best representative OF
truth. the best exponent of American
manhood.

LARGE IMPORTS PREVENTED

NEW YORK importing firms have
IN $SO,OOO,OOO worth of merchan-
disc tied up in ports abroad be-
cause of the British commerce re-
strictions on goods made in Germany
and Austria. These importers have
appointed a committee to take up the
matter with President Wilson and to
demand that these goods be released.
Many of the men appearing on this
committee are known to the members
of the ways and means committee OF
Congress as advocates of near free
trade on goods competing with our
own manufactures. They spent time
and money when the Underwood law
was being framed in lobbying for tariff
reductions. But as the Democrats
were framing an importers tariff law,
these men were called in as advisors -
and were not known as lobbyists. The
Underwood-Simmo Wilson tariff law
gave them about what they wanted,
but a higher power is delaying their
enjoyment of the fruits of their in
iquity. 1t looks like judgment on
them.
