Germany wants peace, openly,
though, Of course, not a humiliating
peace. Until Foreign Minister Grey's
statement of last week, England
would hear nothing as to the ending
of the war.
Since then, however, there can be
no doubt that peace has begun to APP
pear possible to influential English
men. The fact is delicately an
rounced by f. w. lIirst, editor of the
London Economist, who declares
Grey's statements regarding improved
treatment of prisoners and Germany S
modified methods of submarine war
fare suggest a letting down of ten
sion for high diplomatic purposes
The reference to high diplomatic
purposes" means, of course, over
lures for peace negotiations.
Peace now would leave the Allies
baffled in their efforts to capture
Constantinople, but it is by no means

certain there is much enthusiasm in
the west for the project of continu-
ing to throw away lives in order to
make a present of the Dardanelles to
defeated Russia.
The capture of Constantinople
would enhance Englands military
reputation, but, as events stand, Eng
land does not really need victory
over the Turks for prestige. Eco
nomic pressure brought on Germany
by the British fleet, and the capture
of the German colonies by the British,
are factors that will prevent the AL
hes from being overwhelmed with hu-
initiation when negotiations begin.
England, therefore, can afford to
talk peace She has saved the Allies.
This is doubtlessly the argument
which is being used quietly in Eng
land. A little more of it and a peace
congress will be in session.

amy idea Of how to pitch overland.
Pitchers who have been able to get
by pitching underhand all the time
have been mighty scarce.
Miner Brown taught him in about 5
minutes to throw a dandy curve, but
no one was ever able to make him
pitch overland He'd start all right,
but soon his arm would drop until
he was in his old stride. When re
minded of it, he declared up and
down he had been pitching overland
all the time. His case was laugh
able.
Also, Toney insisted on pitching his
raise ball all the time. 1t took him
more than years and many trips
to and from the ma jors to learn that,
while his raise was effective, he
would have to mix it with something
else. lie is mixing 'em now and is
one Of the hardest pitchers in the
league to score against.
Toney is the strongest man in base
ball. It's an odd sight to see him
walk across the field and ooze into
the arena. He just ambles along, head
down, shoulders stopped, and his awk-
ward legs barely dragging his feet
the biggest in baseball.
Imperial Valley press., 1915-09-03

Fred Toney, for six years the
greatest going to be wonder
pitcher in baseball, has finally ar
rived. After being battered from pill
lar to post because he never filled
that going to be" dope, he is not only
winning for the Cincinnati Reds, but
getting to be a shutout specialist.
Toney began to be a wonder in
1909 when, with Winchester, Ky, he
struck out 10 of 21 batters who faced
him in a seven-inning no-hit game.
He was secured by the Cubs, and in
the next four years was sent to Lou
isville and recalled by Chicago so
often he became a close friend of all
the conductors operating between the
two cities.
In 1914 Charley Murphy gave Rog-
er Bresnahan $4,000 to sign a con-
tract and said Roger would earn the
bonus if he didn't do anything eX-
.cept make a pitcher of Toney. Rog-
.er worked hard and finally when he
became Cub manager this year, he
gave up all hope and sold the pitcher
to the Reds.
Toney entered the majors without

What the War Moves Mean.
By ]. w. T. Mason.
written for the United Press

(Wrtten for the United PfeSS)
New York, Aug. 3l.-The possibil-
ity of peace is now nearer than at
any time since the outbreak of the
war. Only a small incident is needed
TO open negotiations that may result
IN an armistlce.
The first steps toward lessening the
tension have undoubtedly been taken
by Germany and England. The pow
erful anti-anneXatlon movement in
Germany with regard to Belgium, and
Sir Edward Grey's admission that the
freedom of the seas is debatable, must
both be interpreted as suggestions OF
peace. If settlement of the subma-
rine controversy of the United States
can be extended to include an agree
ment between England and Germany
for mutual limitation of sea activity,
chances favor an early peace.

SUMMER VACATION FOR GIRLS
Time Hanging Heavily on Her Hands
May Be Profitably spent in Many
Interesting Ways.

Mona ". Lace. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
Every young girl looks forward to a
summer of rest, but after the first few
weeks of vacation are over she begins
to- find time hanging heavily on her
hands. There are many interesting
ways in which this time may be profit
ably spent. Here are a few things
some girls are doing Collecting art
copies and writing short history of
each; collecting authors photographs
and learning their life histories. and
prominent books they nave written;
making a scrapbook and forming a his
tory with cartoons from the leading
magazines; making scrapbooks with
pictures frcm magazines for little chill
dren in the winter. II any girl Is SO
fortunate as to have access to an at
tic full OF old magazines she may
make an interesting collection OF pic
lures of women and dating each,
which will show the extremely varied
and rapid style-changes OF years. Some
girls are busy on their fair work. max
ing jellies or canning fruits and label
ing them attractively. Others are
busy with fancy work.
These hints will probably suggest
others to anyone interested, and every
girl who will try some means or pass
ing her summer will find she has a
feeling of satisfaction when school
time comes again.

DIVERSION FOR SICK CHILD
Many Ways to Abuse AiIina Young
ster Besides Buying Toys-She
Enjoys Cutting Out Dolls.

There are many ways to amuse a
sick child, besides buying games and
toys at the shops. The child enjoys
the toys she makes herself better
than any other kind. A paper tablet
pencil, crayons and scissors are all
that are necessary.
One particular maid of ten years
amused herself through the week OF
the mumps by making a Store Game. -
There are many things to do for this
play. First, she manufactured money
by drawing small circles. the size of
penny, writing in the disk the
amount which the coin was to repre-
sent, and coioring it yellow for gold
and brown for copper. These circles
she cut out, and with them filled her
purse. Then she began to make the
articles that were to be purchased
with the money. Paper dolls came
first. With mothers aid she drew a
full figure OF doll, with dresses, mats
and furs complete; and then she
coIored to suit ner girlish fancy. The
cutting out was a part or the pleas
ure.

Jerome and Melissa lived in Cor
many Their father died and they had
TO help their mother earn money to
support the home. Melissa was to be
married as soon as Eustace. who had
gone to America, should send the
ticket, and he had been gone three
years. He wrote In his last letter
that the next time he wrote the let
ter would contain the ticket for Me-
iissa to come to him. and now in the
little cottage. where Melissa and Je-
rome lived with their mother great
preparations were being made for the
voyage. There was good business
for Jerome and his mother, and they
would be able to support themselves
when Melissa had gone, for Jereme
carried to the village each morning
in his little cart bread and cake made
by his mother and Melissa, and be-
sides liking the good thinks that he
brought the customers were always
glad to see Jerome and hear his CHEEKY
"Gut Morgenl"
Then one day Melissa sailed away
on the big ship. There were tears i'll
Melissa's eyes as she said good-by to
her mother and Jerome. "As soon as
Hustace and have a good business"
she said, there will be letter with
tickets for you. and we shall be TO-
gether again"
There is another member of the
family of which have not told you
Fritzie. Jerome's dog. a dachshund.
He was Jerome's constant compan-
ion, and when the ship sailed away
with Melissa, and Fritzie saws the
tears rolling down Jerome's cheeks. he
tried in all the ways that a dog can
to show his sympathy. and when the
tears kept on falling, he tried to win
his smiles by doing all the tricks that
Jerome had taught him. and they
were many.
by and by letter came from Me-
iissa, and each week they heard from
her how the grocery store which Eus-
tace and she had bought was paying
and that soon they would have home
ready for her mother and Jerome.
And suddenly the letters stopped. and
weeks went by. and then 1t was
months. and no money came.
I'VE will take our money and go
to America" seid Jerome one day
after his mother had cried all night,
The Elbert County tribune., 1915-10-01
sailed Away on tn. Big ship.

"and we will find Melissa and Eus-
tace."
So one day Jerome. with his moth
err and Fritzie. sailed away on a big
ship. the same as Melissa had. for the
big country called America. But there
was rno smiling face awaiting them
as there had been for Melissa. and
Jerome and his mother were able to
speak only a few words in English. so
that when they landed in America
they had to show all their money. and
had 1t not been for a kind-hearted
man, who met his wife and children,
who were on the ship with Jerome
and his mother, they would have
been sent back to Germany. New
York was a much larger place than
they had supposed. and they did not
find Melissa and Eustace. Their little
stock OF money grew smaller. and one
morning. when Jerome started out
looking for his sister and also for
work, he said to his mother: Il think
will take Frftzie with me; perhaps
can get few pennies for his
tricks"
They wandered along through the
rhickIy settled streets until they came
to q group OF children in front of a
store. Jerome put Fritzie through his
tricks. and the children laughed and
danced around Fritzie. who was hap
pier than he had been since he land
ed in the strange country. when sud
denly he broke through the crowd and
ran into the store barking. jerome
followed as quickly as he could. and
there was Melissa with Fritzie in ner
arms. crying and hugging him. and
In an instant Jerome was peing
Rugged until he scarcely could
breathe.
Then Eustace came and went for
the mother. and you never saw such
happy people. And Fritzie danced
around him. and was patted and
praised. tor had he not been the
one to first see Melissa and bring ths
family together again. And after ali
the excitement was over. Melissa told
them how Gustace had been very i'll
and WAS taken to the hospital, and
she had written to them and waited
tor n .etter and none came. and then
when Eustace was well he wrote to
Germany and found they had left.
The Elbert County tribune., 1915-10-01

and no one knew where they were.
But where were Melissa's letters?
That was the strange part But after
awhile that was explained. Melissa
could not leave the store, and gave
the letters to a boy to put in the let
ter box. He thought she was sending
money to her people, and he opened
and destroyed them. And all this time
poor Melissa was crying because she
did not hear from home. and Jerome
and his mother we're sailing to q
strange country to find her.
Fritzie became the most popular
dog In the neighborhood. and was
pointed out for many years as the dog
that united family.
