But few people know that Big Ed
Walsh, king of spitbaiP' pitchers, for ten
years mainstsy Of the Chicago White
sox, came near having his career as a
star twirler ended by pneumonia upon his
arrival in California for the 1915 training

to such a degree that he won the worlds
championship in 1895 with the Chicago
team, known then as the "hitlass won

February 2ist In a preearious condition.
He had bad cough, sore throat and his
lungs were SO contested that the cough
caused him intense suffering. "Pneu-
nlonia." a doctor said. Walsh declares
that his escape from siege Of sickness
was due to his prompt use of Akoz. the
wonderful California medicinal mineral. a
supply OF which is carried by William
Buckner. trainer OF the White Sox, for
use on members OF the team.

be to assist him, or anyone else in the under

useful in such huge enterprise as Kidding the

Launohing a Presidential Boom.

Democratic prophets are buslly engaged just
now in working out plans for properly putting
the second term candidacy OF Woodrow Wilson
before the public. How to launch the boom
without giving it the appearance Of being a po-
litical move is the problem they are seeking to
solve. One of the proposals is that Mr.. Wilson
make trip and deliver a few speeches. not for
campaign purposes; far be II from that but just
a sort OF visit with the folks, and to tell them
OF the many noteworthy feats accomplished bv
his administration. This may fool the demo-
Gratis, but not the public. II the president is no
more successful In his promised addresses than
he was at Indianapolis, he would better stay at
home.
AS matter OF fact, the cabinet officers are
and have been busy on press-agent tours for the
administration for months, each vieing with the
other in sounding the praises OF the president
and his party. All of this explanation and adj
Duration seems to suggest that the "spontaneity''
OF the call for Mr.. Wilson's second term candl-
daey takes a great deal OF initiation. This is es-
pecially true when the denomination is a fore

IL wouldn't be bad plan for the president
to get out and mingle with his fellow country

Ihe CHOW
LYNCH, Neb.. April 12.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: Some time ago read In The
Bee an article in which China appealed
to the United states for assistance,
claiming that the demands made upon IL
by Japan were unjust. The appeal seems
to have made a strong impression upon
our nation. But, beware 1t is only a plot.
China and Japan are working hand-in-
hand. While the nations Of Europe are
at war. Japan and China are laying the
foundation for the domination Of the
entire world
Japan has been preparing for years
and in its present demands upon China,
Japan has laid a very clever trap in
which It hopes 10 ensnare, not only
Uncle sam, but also the nations Of
Europe II is high time that our states
men come to realize the fact that the
nations Of Europe now engaged in an
orgy of destruction are all qnwittingly
helping pave the way for the yellow peril
for one believe that a stopping Of
shipping and everything to the ports Of
the belligerents until a safe convoy can
be granted to every port would help
nightly in bringing nearer the end Of
this struggle.
Europe needs America and II each is
refused our aid unless all may receive
that aid. it will likely result in neither
getting It and each sooner coming TO the
place where peace can and will be dis
cussd
Il would also be wise move to per
suade the South American people to Join
with us in this move. America can neu-
