KAISER TURNED
 DOWN PEACE OFFER
Treaty Nearly Concluded in December, But Allies
 Terms Not Satisfactory.

New York, Feb. 2S.--The New York American this morning says:
 "The New York American is Yn a, position to state with absolute au- thority that peace in Europe was very nearly concluded irl the latyer part of December. The terms offered by the allies, however, were such as the German emperor was unwilling to accept. The allies demanded from Germany the cession of Alsace and Lorraine back to France and the pay ment of an indemnity to Belgium sufficient to compensate that country for all her losses during the war.
 "The German emperor was unwill- ing to consider peace on those terms, and, although Austria was apparent ly willing to consent to the terms i'm posed upon her, she decided to stand by Germany. and so the negotiations fell through.
 "There was intimation in the press at the time, that some peace negotia- tions were in progress, but the American ,s the first paper to be able to announce the terms which were offered Germany and rejected by her."

Petrograd, Feb. 27--An official bull letin issued tonight states that the Russians have recaptured Przasaysz and that the Germans are on the de fensive all along the front. The text of the official statement follows:
 During February 26 the Germans appeared to pass to the defensive along most of the whole front. On the left bank of the Niemen, on the road to symno and Sorey, there have been severe actions following the progress of our advance guard.
 North of Grodno, the battle has been limited to an extensive fire by the Germans. At the village of re harnevo. a German battalion with sapDers advanced toward the Bobr vall.y. Our artillery, seizing the mo. ment when part of the column naa crossed to cur rear, almost annlhilat. ed it. The survivors, five officers ana a few score of men, were made. DTS oners.

Careless of Injury to Nentrals, Allies Maintain Right tO Stop All Ship ments to and Prem Germany,
 Austria and Turkey.

London, Feb. 27.--It g under stood that formal notification has been given by Great Britain to the United states that in view of the Ger man submarine attacks on merchant vessels, Great Britain and the allies maintain the right to stop all ship ping between all neutral countries and Germany, Austria and Turkey.
 In other words, it is proposed TO tie up all traffic with Germany of eve. kind whatsoever. It will ID longer be question of contraband or Of whether food is intended for con sumption by the civil population or by the military. Grain, cotton. even medical supplies, may be stopped. Not on!, that but goods coming out of Germany may under the term of this declaration. be seized.
 This apparently is the form of the re orrisals which the allies have agreed upon. The idea is not merely to starve Germany into submission, but to cripple her industries in every possible way. MT. Asquith will, it is expected. make an announcement of the gov ernmcnt's policy on Monday. In sup port of the right of the allies to take such drastic measures he will urge that the Germans have violated all ! the codes of warfare in sinking ships with noa- -couaba Rants isDoard without warning and without even making e,- fort to save the lives of the persons l thus attacked.
 As to the injury that will be in- flicted upon the trade of neutrals by this procedure on the part of the
 allies. MT. Asquith, it is expected, will rely upon the plea of necessity
 and the argument that only by dras-
 tic action of this sort can the war be l brought to an early conclusion. The declaration, 1t is understood. r will not be made to apply to ship ments before formal announcement l of the~b1ockade. Every effort will pc
 made to safeguard the lives of pas
 sengers and crews on ships that may
 either be seized or sunk.

SEVEN LEFT-HAND
HITTERS WITH SOX

ner, of the infield, hit leftharded
and Manager Carrigan could use
a lefthanded battery, sending Joe
Thomas behind the bat and either
Leonard, Ruth or Collins to the
box. Leonard and Ruth, by the
way, are two of the best hitting
pitchers on the circuit.
The ability of the Sox to 90
into game with seven of their
nine players hitting from the left
hand side of the plate means for
Grover Alexander, the main box
hope Of the Phils, the greatest
test of his career.
There has not been a time this
season when Alexander has had
to face seven lefthanders in one
lineup and 1t is not often seven
left-handers can be massed to-
gether with as much hitting pow
er as Hooper, Speaker, Henrik
sen, Hobby, Gardner, Thomas
and Leonard or Ruth give the
Sox.
This arrangement would not
weaken the defensive play of the
Sox, because six of the off side
hitters have been doing regular
work for the Sox all season. The
only extra man this shift would
bring into the lineup is Henrik
sen and the Sox would not suffer

BY BROWN HOLMES.

One of the things that gives
the Boston Red Sox an edge on
the Philadelphia Nationals in
worlds series play is that the
Phils will have to depend on
righthand pitching and the Red
Sox can put a great lefthanded
ball club on the field.
The best way to combat right
hand pitching is to send lefthand
batters against 1t. The pills have
two southpaws, Rixey and Boum-
gartner, but neither is worthy of
world series work, so 1t will be up
to Alexander, Mayer, Damaree,
Chalmers and McQuillen, the
righthanders.
Against these normal chuckers
the Red Sox has seven lefthand
batters, making the team unusu-
ally well fitted for attack without
weakening the club in any sense
for defensive play.
Two of the regular Sox out
fielders, Speaker and Hooper, are
left-handers. The other garden
err, Duffy Lewis, could be replaced
by Olaf Henriksen, a lefthander,
giving the Sox complete out
field of off-side batters.

Comparison OF the pitching

him that often, the Pills will be
outpitched and to be outpitched
In series of that kind Is to be
beaten.
1t is not at all certain that
Smoky Joe Wood will be in shane
to work for the Sox. He has been
out of the game with a sore arm
So, without counting Wood, the
best bets of the Sox are Dutch
Leonard, RUDE Shore, George Fos-
ter and Bake Ruth.
None of that quartet is as good
as Alexander, but the bunch
stacks up better than the entire
Phil staff outside of Alex, figu--
ing Demaree, Chalmers, Mayer
and MeQuillen the cream of the
National teams hurlers.
That gives the Sox four pitch
ers who may be counted better
than the Phil staff, exclusive of
Alex and five If Wood is right.
The best bet of the six to give
Alec battle is Dutch Leonard.
the young southpaw, and he prob
ably will be the clap to go against
Grover in the opening contest.
Shore, if he happens to be inst
right, is another chucker who
could make Alec hustle. Shore is
a pitcher who has his days.
When he is right" he is almost
unbeatable. If the Phils happen
to catch him when his overland
"sinker" is breaking and he has
control of his speed, they will
have their troubles.
The Phils will likely catch him
at just such a time, too, because

look for the Sox to win every
game In which they do not face
Alexander. And I figure Alexan-

beat the Sox, SO it is simply a
proposition of whether Alec can
work in four games and that is
something no one can foresee.

PILLS CHAFE
UNDER DELAY

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6. -
Players and fans alike chafed yes
terday afternoon under the neces-
sity of the final double-header
game of the season, between the
Phillies and Brooklyn. 1t had
been hoped to stage the last game
yesterday, giving the Pills two
days rest before the worlds Sc
ries, which begins Friday.
Prospects for rain today are
also good, and 1t is doubtful If
yesterdays contest can be staged.
In that event, 1t will be Cancelled,
SO that the Philadelphia team can
rest Thursday.
Thousands of applicants for
seats will know tomorrow wheth-
er they were lucky in obtaining
them. Notices will be sent out
tonight telling the fans whether
or not they obtained their reser-
vations.
