had surrendered and held up their hands

the Overseas News Agency. For this
purpose they are giving widest publicity
to invented stories about these sentences
by court-martal against conspirators in
Brussels.
THE fact Is that the conspirators knew
what they were doing. and what they
might expect under the law. The con-
spracy was carried on during a period
Of nire months. and countless soldiers
were helped to join the armies now fight
ing against Germany.
THE German judges faced the al
tentative of giving way to their natural
feelings of pity and endangering the
country by encouraging similar enter
prises or of applying the law.
"All stories about the details of one
of these executions in Brussels are pure
inventions. The court-martial proceeded
in most careful manner and cleared up
everything The execution was a sad
necessity, but was carried out as pre-
scribed by law, without incident"

Keep Your Lungs Strong

This advice is doubly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until it is too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over.
work, confning duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers OF
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
trated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and its rare nourish-
ment helps strengthen the lungs while
it builds up the forces.
II you work indoors, tire easily, feel
1anpuid or rundown SCOTS Emulsion is
the most strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stuPe-
fling drugs. Avoid substitutes.

NEW YORK. Feb. l2.-Already
the worm is beginning to turn. The
halcyon days when a ball player
bought two or three automobiles, put
on parties for that one in the third
row back and showed up at the park
the next day ready TO fight his grand
mother are just about gone. To the
popular tune of Jim Gilmore's funer-
al dirge they will be borne out by
saddened ball players.
They were dying In the big league
two years ago. Then came the Feds
and with the siren clink OF many dol
lars lured the shaving toilers from
their first loves, promising much gold.
The players got the gold and the head
aches.
But. as hereinbefore chronicled, the
ancient worm has done the Vernon
Castle. The announcement comes from
no less parsonage than James A.
Gilmore himself. who. when he isn't
calling Ban Johnson names, presidents
the Federal league. List to Jeems:
On account OF the many other
things that had TO be attended to last
season we had little time to look after
the playing end. (Kansas City and
st. Louis players please copy of the
game and enforce discipline But we
know some of our players failed to
display the same activities they did
while members of organized ball and
also do we know that some Of them
didn't keep in such condition as to
give their best services TO the club.
