ORPHANS IN HOLLAND.

The orphans Of some OF the cities OF
Holland are quite conspicuous. and
especially so when seen on the streets
OF Amsterdam. dressed In what might
be termed half and half clothing. The
east half OF a boys coat. including the
sleeve. Is red. while the west half Is
black. The dresses OF girls are dlvid.

off by becoming white caps. which

Two Parts 10 a Ball Game.

"In my mind there are really two
parts to a ball game" says Herzog.
There is the first half and the second
half. and they must be played direr
emily. Play for all the runs you can get
in the first five innings. A manager
does not know how many runs be will
need nor how his pitching will hold up.
THE chance taking. therefore. and all
the run producing efforts Of a club
should be exerted in the first five In
nings.
IF the game is close and pitching Is
of very good order 1t Is best to play for
just one run and use every scientific
means Of getting II. One run very oft
en- is a big thing near the end OF a
game, and not so much value is placed
on 1t at the start"

Two weeks later the kaiser announc-

had decorated all the officers and war
rant officers and fifty noncommission-

Fate of the Bremen.
The fate of the Bremen. the oldest
and slowest Of the raiders, is also in
doubt. Early in the war she was re-
ported off the Brazilian coast. and on
Aug. 80 to have overhauled the Dutch
steamer Gelria. She does not appear
to have made any captures until to-
ward the end of November. She was
said to have been filing her coal bunk
ers at Juan Fernandez. in the Pacific,
from a vessel which has never been
identified. Nothing more was heard of
her until on Jan. II an unofficial mes
sage from Petrograd announced that
she had arrived at wilhelmshayen
seriously damaged by striking a mine.
Whether she ever did thread her way
through all the French and British
cruisers on the watch for her and her
sister and got back has never been
officially announced. but it was signifi-
cant that when Lord Crewe spoke of
the cruisers still at large after the vic
tory in the Falklands, he omitted the
Bremen from his list.
strassburs's Disappearance.
What has become of the Strassburg
Is equally obscure. She was one of
the later light cruisers. a sister ship
to the Karlsruhe, and quite as fast.
Early III August she was reported to
have .coaled at st. Thomas, in the West
Indies, and a further report stated
that she had been seen In company
with the Karlsruhe. But she has never
made any captures. so far as Is known.
She has not been sunk by British
war vessels, for no encounter has been
reported by the admiralty. nor has she
been informed at any neutral port. Not
a word concerning the little warshiD
has been heard from any source. for
no ships sighted her. no. has her name
been mentioned as one of the active
German commerce ~destroyers.
After leaving st. Thomas just before
the opening of hostilities it is believed
that she remained at sea until her coal
supply was exhausted and then was
either sunk by one of the fierce West
Indian storms or was driven into the
dreary Sargasso sea, from which no
ship escapes.
1t Is possible that she Is held In re-
serve in the mysterious haven that the
Germans evidently have somewhere on
the coast of South America. biding her
time for a descent upon the commerce
Of the allies. Her commander, Rear
Admiral Rebeur Paschwitz. however,
Is known to be exceptionally daring,
and this theory is secuted. 1t is i'm
probable hat the Strassburg made her
way across the Atlantic TO a home
port at the outbreak of the war, for
no other German commerce destroyer
attempted to turn tail and run for
home.
Shipping men generally believe that
the Strassburg is In the port Of miss
ing ships"-the Sargasso sea.
