BALTIMORE FEDS
OBJECT TO PACT
They Are Dissatisfied with Terms
Of Peace as Applied to
Their Club.
OPPOSE WITHDRAWING SUIT

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2s.-It was learned
from an authoritative source tonight that
officials of the Baltimore Federal league
club would attempt to block the base
ball peace plans by opposing the with
drawal Of the Federal league antitrust
suit before Judge Lands. Baltimore Off
oials are said to be dlssa tisfied with the
terms OF the settlement as they apply to
the Baltimore club.
An Influential stakeholder OF the Fed
eral league club previously made the
statement that 1t was improbable that
the present corporation could take over
the international league franchise. He
said the stock is so distributed among
persons that It is not within the range
OF possibilities to operate a minor league
team, proposition considerably smaller
than that for which the corporation was
formed

CINCINNATI. o.. Dec. 23.-Chairnan
Hermann of the National commission,
when shown the story from Baltimore rel
ativo to the Federal league suit in Chi
! cago said:
Il do not believe the Baltimore people
should take this view. inasmuch as tn,
Baltimore matter Is still pending. We
nave done nothing regarding Baltimore
and the final outcome may be very ad-
Vantageous to the Baltimore Federal
league owners.
That matter is still In the hands OF
the committee appointed to settle that
question. The Baltimore people may get
more than they have anticipated.

PARDONED SOLDIER IN
 IRONS AT WINDSOR
Alfred Rhodes Fails to Locate Family and Attempts Suicide.

Former Quartermaster Sergeant AL fred Rhodes of Company c, Ninth h. fantry, U. s. A., who passed through New Britain Wednesday on his way from the federal prison at Alcatraz 3sland, outside of San Francisco Bay to South Windsor where he hoped to ind his wife and son, who is said to be studying for the priesthood, ap- parently failed to locate his family, for advices from Windsor today give the information that he is in the hands of the police and that he tried to hang himself.
 r, Rhodes was pardoned by President Wilson November 5, 1914, for killing a Filipino general who had sworn al- legiance to the United States for which he was sentenced to fifty years in prison in 1903 by a court martial. Rhodes was one of four survivors of a Filipino massacre for which the Fill Sipino, General Alengo Seivo, had been responsible, and his act was said to be due to a hatred for all Filipinos. - He was arrested yesterday afternoon tl Windsor by Deputy Sheriff Edson A. Weich while acting in a suspicious mani,c" Gil Railroad street. His case WAS la:er diagnosed as delirium tre- Ioens.
 When put in the cell he became unna ua gable and tried to commit sui eide by hanging. He wound his sus- pe1dcTS arcund his neck and then tied the ends to the cell door. When dis Severed, he tore off his shirt and pinned his teeth on the deputy sher- ifs hand.
 The former army man raved and tore in his cell and it was necessary to keep watch on him and give him :. medicine every hour until late in the evening" Constable Maurice Ken nedy was called to assist Deputy Sher- if Welch in the vigil and the hoWls eSf the man attracted the attention of persons within several blocks of the police station. During his de- lrious moments he would tell of the act which resulted in his sentence to long imprisonment. His condition at these times was pitiful, as the man would cry and shake like a leaf.
 The crime for which he was sen fenced took place about eleven years 1go. Sergeant Rhodes was on guard duty. According to his story, Gen.

WHEAT PRICES DROP.
Possible Opening of Dardanellcs Causes Selling of Panicky Nature.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Selling that bor- dered on a panicky nature swept the wheat market down more than five cents a bushel today. The critical situation regarding the possible open ing of the Dardanelles was chiefly re- sponsibIe. May wheat sold as low as $1.4S 12 at the opening, as against $1.53 5-8 at the close last night
 July wheat dropped four cents. Support from those who believe that the straits are still a long way from being open to the shipment of grain was forthcoming at the decline. May sold up to S1.49 3-4 and July, which had touched $1.21 1-4 advanced to $1.22 within the first ten minutes of trading.
 Feverish unloading followed, and the market SOom smashed two cents below the undermost prices at the start, but rallied again, though not so strongly as before. On the second wave of selling May dropped to S1.46 1-2, fall of Is c, compared with last night. Theextreme setback fur July meanwhile was 4 7-S c. to Sl.20 3-8.

Keep the Children
 Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be healthy. The digestive organs of children get out of order as readily as do those of their elders, and the result is equally distressing. When the bowels are clogged with an ac- cumulation of refuse from the stomach the child naturally be- comes cross and fretful from the discomfort, and is often punished for temper when medical attention is really what is needed.
 The next time your child is cross and unhappy, without appar- ent reason, try giving it a mild laxative. Dr. CadWell's Syrup ) Pepsin is a mild, pleasant tasting combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin and is especial ly recommended for children be- cause of it's freedom from all opiate or narcotic drugs and it's gentle action. It is sold in in drug stores everywhere. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington St., M MonticellO, Ills.

CARPATHIAN FIGHTING
 LIKE SIEGE WARFARE
Over 100000 Men Fighting Hand to Hand Since Feb. IS Without
 Making Any Advance.

Geneva, Feb. 26, Via Paris, 5:15 a. m.-The fighting in the Carpathian Mountains between Russians and Ger mans and Austrians is becoming rap idly very much like siege warfare, ac- cording to despatches reaching Ge neva from points near the line of bat tie.
 These messages declare that since February IS over 100000 men have been fighting hand to hand in the Carpathian trenches without making any material advance. The wounded are pouring into Ungvar and Eper- ies, in Hungary. During the night of Friday, February 19, taking ad- vantage of a Hull in hostilities, the Austrians picked up at Swidnik s. 500 wounded men and over 5000 dead. The wounded had been lying on the ground, some of them, for 8 hours without food or succor. A chief officer of the Austrian medical department is authority for the essti- mate that seventy per cent. of them will be invalids for life. A. ma- pority of the men at Swidnilx were wounded in the head by blows from rifle butts, and twenty per cent of them will be either partially or to- tally blind.

FRIENDS MEET HERE
 AFTER TWENTY YEARS
DsnlI5t and AGi0r Eu tHO,S Edth
 Oth.r n HGIa.d OnC5.

What a small place this old world is after all" The speakers were Dr. R. E. Beardsley of this city, and Harry Braham, an impersonator at Keeneys' theater, who, until they stumbled into each other here in the Herald office, had neither met nor
 heard from each other since they parted in London, England, twenty years ago. MT. Bcardsley was just leaving thd Herald office as MT. Bra
 ham dropped in. The two men
 glanced casually at each other when the former stopped and said Hello,
 Harry"
 MT. Braham acknowledged the
 name, but, although he said the den-
 tist's face seemed familiar, he could not recognize him.
 Why, don't you remember R. E Beardsley?'
 Sure, say, I'm awful glad to sec you again."
 Thus, after twenty years during which time one of the party has circ1ed the globe, these two old time acquaintances met in little old New | Britain.
 Met in London, Eng. In 1895 Braham was playing in q London theater when the stage dooi l man handed him a letter of introduc' 1 ton from a New York man, intro ! ducing pr. Beardsley. The two be came firm friends. It was at this time that The Belle of New York, which was produced by the local so' | ciety folk a year ago, was opening at the Shaftsbury theater in London
 Dr Beardsley remained in London
 until homesiclSness compelled him tc l return to America.
 | Braham started on another tour o
 the world and until they met here l they had heard nothing of each other | Braham has had an exciting career 1 travelling on every continent. At on' 1 time in Africa he was a member oi lion hunting party. Two of ths party were killed by a lioness and 1t was a shot from the actors rife that laid the beast low.

NEW GERMAN GENERAL
 OFFENSIVE IN WEST
Expected by British and French
 Military Commentators.

London, Feb 26, 12:50 P. M.-The British and French military commen- tators that Germany is preparing for a fresh expenditure of energy in the land campaign along the, '-W Western front.
 Notwithstanding the recent sue cesses of the Germans in the east, they apparently are encOuntering as stubborn resistance as at any time. The resiliency and recuperating pow CTS of the Russian armies, according to theories advanced here, have con- vinced the German general staff that it is wisest to adopt the defensive in the Russian campaign while deliver ing another blow in the west.
 Allies We'll Prepared.
 If this rush comes the allies will be we'll prepared to meet it. During the last few months a decided change for the better has taken place in the forces of the allies, what with rein >fcrcements, biger guns and more complete equipment, lack of which was felt so keenly during the early stages of the war
 AS against the expectation of new German general offensive in the west, another theory is advanced in some quarters that the German attack in the east will be continued, with the main idea of taking Warsaw from the north. Przasnysz, fifty miles north of Warsaw, now being in the hands of the Germans, according to their claim, it Is probable that bat tie is now raging along the River OrZyc, where the Russians are at tempting to stay the Teutonic ad- vance.
 Turks in Fighting Role.
 The Turks are again appearing in the war news by virtue of the re- neWed fighting in the Caucasus. Meantime the allied fleet has at last demolished the forts at the entrance to the Dardanelles, in what is believed to be preliminary to a determined at tempt to force the historic strait, the opening of which would have such important strategic, political and eco- homie effects on the war.
 Wireless reports that the American steamship Dacia plans to go north ward around Scotland on the way to Hamburg revive speculation as to when and where she will be seized by the British.

Movement Upon Warsaw.

Petrograd, Feb. 26, 12:0S P. M.,
 Via London, 1:15 P. M.-Members of
 the staff of the Russian army, com
 menting on the recent military deVel-
 opments in northern Poland, all
 agree that from Przasnysz and Novo-
 gorod the Germans hope to develop
 a movement upon Warsaw. This
 movement is being assisted, in their
 opinion, by the resumption of an en-
 ergetic offensive in the vicinity of
 Moghely.
 Against this powerful German ad
 vance, which evidently has assumed
 larger proportions than any previous
 movement in Russian Poland, the
 Russians had three strong lines of defense. The first runs from Kovno to Olita, the latter town being on the Nieman river, 30 miles south of Kovno. The second runs from Olita to Grodno and the third line is known as the Bobr-Narew line. Germans Advancing Slowly. The German advance against these defending lines is proceeding slowly
 on account of the marshy country and the difficulty of keeping open com munication with bases.
 There have been attacks in the neighborhood of Stabine conducted with great energy and daring. This fighting has been virtually uninter- rupted and 1t invariably has seen bayonet engagements, in which the Russians have become very skillful There has been increased activity, ap parently, in eastern Galicia, where the Germans have been checked in their
