The Eastern association may de- naand a bonus before it will allow. the Newark international league club to be transferred to this city. As the. to reserve this territory it could pre- vent any other member of organized baseball from invading this section. In such cases it is the custom for the league which wishes to occupy a. cer- tain city to pay a good price for the privilege.
 51 When the International wanted to switch the Jersey City club to Syra.- cuse during the past winter. the New York State league was offered a bonus but refused to surrender the terri tory. President O'Rourke of the Eastern said he had received no ap- pIication from the International yet. Newark is on the road at present but has long stretch of home games dur- ing June and July, If the transfer is made it will probably be the lat Ger part of June.

 Increasing demands for tennis coaches, either amateur or profes- sionaI, has caused the United States National Lawn Tennis Association to turn It's attention to this new phase of the sport. Clubs in all parts of the country are trying to secure the services of professional coaches and since there are but few available anna teur experts are being requ tested to 1 act as coaches. As a result of this situation President Robert D. Wren l of the U. S. N. L. T. A, has been obliged to call attention to the defini- ton of an amateur and rule on several cases involving the principals of the 1 definition. The rule reads:
 'An amateur is one who has not l played, Instructed. pursued or as- sisted in the pursuit of tennis or oth- CT athletic exercise as a means o1 livelihood or for gain or any emo1u- ment.''
 One case in particular called for a ruling where the proprietor of a large summer hotel offered board and lodg- l ing free. to an amateur in return for 1 the latters services in arranging hotel tournaments and caring in a general way for the game and courts during tn evacation season. In another a question arose regarding the status of player rendered the position ot a coach to a school team which car ried no salary or other emo1uments In the first case President Wrenn ruI- 1 ed that acceptance of a position with such summer hotel would undoubt- 1 ed1y lay the amateur open to charges 1 of professionalism. In the second it was suggested that the player place his offer before the executive commit tee for final judgment. es5z -=f-

RED CROSS SEAL SALE
BEGINS THANKSGIVING

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.-Statewide work
is going rapidly forward throughou,
Georgia in the distribution of the Red
Cross Christmas seals for the anti
tuberculosis work, and the actual sale
will begin next week, on Thanksgiv-
ing day, Thursday November p.
The distribution Of these seals is
under the direction of the ". G. Raoul
Foundation, of Atlanta, of which Jas.
P. Faulkner is executive secretary.
Mr.. Faulkner says that it is to
far-off Norway that the credit is due
for originating the Christmas seal idea
as means of raising money for anti
tuberculosis work.
in 1906" says Mr.. Faulkner, ia
cob Riis had his interest aroused by
the receipt of Christmas tuberculo-
SIS stamp on letter received from
Norway. 1t was the first ever seen
in this country. He published an arti-
Gle about the queer-looking stamp il
The Outlook, and suggested some pos
sible uses for is in this country. Miss
Emily P. Bissell, of the Delaware Red
Cross, prepared a stamp for her work
and was so impressed with her success
tfat she persuaded the American Red
Cross to take it up. They have made
it a nation wide success, and last year
raised over 100000 by this means"

ALREADY QUESTION
Of LOCKER RAISED

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 15-While the
locker clubs in Atlanta admit that the
now prohibition bill absolutely abol-
isaes their locker feature as at present
constituted, and all are already plan
mig TO obey the law, there remains
tie question or whether or not the pri-
vate individual member of the club
will not have at least the same privil-
eyes in the club as he would have in
lis own home
In other words, the point is already
+; ised whether or not, under the new
law, there is any objection to or way
to stop a man from receiving at his
club, instead of at his home the
amount of liquor allowed him under
tie new law, placing it in his own
private locker at the club and serving
it there himself, to himself and his
friends, exactly as he is allowed to do
his home.
1t is admitted that there is no posi-
mility of continuing to operate the IL
quor end of the clubs as at present
constituted, since it amounts practical
ly to the sale of liquor to the members
by the clubs, but whether an individ-
ual member can have his own whiskey
there in his own locker, is going to be
another entirely different question

In Circleville, Ohio, in 1911, which
was the last in three year dry per-

thousand dollar valuation. In 1913.
under saloons, the tax rate increased

$11.90. This is the way saloon licenses
decrease taxes.

.[ANS|NC'S NOTE
To Be SUBJECT
MUCH COMMENT

CHARLESTON, 6. c., Nov. 15.-Sec-
rotary Lansing's recent vigorous note
tc Great Britain stating the attitude of
the administration toward the indie
feasible seizure and detention by the
entente allies of American cargoes will
receive considerable attention at the
meeting of Southern business men %
he held her next month, under the
auspices of the Southern Commercial
congress.
Sentiment in the South, so far ex-
pressed in the press, is strongly in IA
vor of the administration policies.
The only shadow of criticism is voiced
at the delay in dispatching the note.
Many Southern journals insist it
should have gone to England and her
allies months ago when the Dacia
with cargo of cotton for Bremen,
was seized by French war vessel
The probable outcome of this con
troversy is seriously disturbing to the
South. The interference with ship
ments of American cotton and other
exports, even though it falls short Ct
such an EFFECTIVE blockade as would
have to be recognized under interna-
tional law, will prove costly to the cot
ton producing states.
Men of experience in practical af-
fairs will discuss his question at the
Charleston meeting. Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, who was one of the
first members of congress to demand
vigorous action on the part of the ad-
ministration toward England in the in
terest of cotton shipments, will speaE.
f. ]. Watson, president of the South
ern Cotton congress, will preside. Sam
uel L, Rodgers, director of the census
bureau, under whose direction the gov
ernment's satisfies of crop conditions
and yield are compiled and published,
is also on the program
AS national interest is felt Just now
in what the new federal trade commits
sion will do for business, or to bust
ness, speech by Joseph E. Davies,
chairman of the commission is expect
ed to be an informative discussion OF
business conditions and the attitude Of
the government towards business Mi
Davies was formerly commissioner of
corporations and as such made an ex-
Eaustive study and report on the New
York and New Orleans cotton ex-
changes, the iron and steel industry
and the lumber business.
The Southern Commercial congress
does not concern itself with the details
Of any specific business, but brings to
bear the best thought of the safest and
sanest men in industry and states
ranship upon the broad problems Ct
development, education, law enforce
ment, efficiency in government, conser-
walton and reclamation, to the end OF

celebrating the growth of the South.
The elaborate program for the

congress. 1t includes special services
in the churches of Charleston, com
memorative of fifty years of nation9l

BIBLE PRESENTED
EMP EROR IS PROOF
Of JAPAN MOVES

TOXIC. Nov. 15.-"When we think
that the Bible, which was presented to
the Emperor on October by Dr..
Surge, is book whose teachings were
interdicted within this realm less than
20 years ago We have some idea of the
great development of the Japanese en-
pire." That was one of the most strik-
ing remarks made during a notable
dinner Of 500 representative Japanese
who assembled to express their graft
tude to DR.. E. A. Surge, of San Fran
cisco, WHO has done much in the in
terest Of the japanese residents on the
Pacific coast and much to develop the
relations Of friendship between Japan
and the United States.
The function was in a sense a coron-
alton fastiivity, for IL followed the pre-
sentation to the Emperor by DR..
Surge Of beautiful Bible, contributed
as d coronation gift by the Christian
Japanese who live in the United States.
Ii had been intended to present the BIZ
bic at Kioto during the coronation
week, but the program Of the Emperor
is SO filed that it was deemed best to
present ii earlier The Bible is bound
in pure white leather, has the IRIS
ing sun" embossed on the outside in
red, while on the inside of the covers
is represented the Empire of Japan in
gold side by side with the coast line Of
the United States. The idea of the en-
cravings, which include also the ma
tional flags, is that Japan and America
are bound together in lasting friend
ship.
Beside being an expression of graf
itude 70 Dr. Surge, the meeting was a
striking manifestation of Japanese
American friendship. All of the sneak
ers who included Viscount Kaneoko.
Admiral Baron Uriu, Baron Kanda, DR..
Soyeda and others dwelt impressingly
upon the desire of Japan to continue
and develop her amicable relations
with the United States.
DR.. Soyeda, who is president of the
japanese railways, went further than
voicino the usual expression of friend
ship. After saying that Japan could
never forget that the United States led
her into the paths of righteousness. he
declared; 81 want to say this: In
case of danger arising to the American
kepublic, am confident that our COM
patriots VINO reside WlInln the borders
OF the United States would be ready to
spend their last penny and give MS
their lives to save that republic, if It
were in danger"
DR.. Surge was grateful for the
warmth of the reception accorded him.
He said he felt somewhat ashamed TO
come to Japan after the disagreeable
things that had occurred in California,
but he was delighted to find that the
Japanese peol lie were showing him
even greater kindness than during his
visit several years ago.

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Aug. 9.-The great strug-
gle in the east must continue now the
Russians have rejected what London
regards as bona fide proposals frora
the German emperor for peace. These
proposals are said to have offered Rus
sia all Of Galicia and part of Poland in
return for the negotiation of a peace
treaty.
The British public is now watching
the operations at the Dardanelles
closely, as these are expected to have
a most important bearing upon the
Balkan situation, which is simmeriny
again now because of renewed pres
sure by the Quadruple Entente powers
on Greece and Bulgaria. II is more
keenly realized here now than ever he
fore that indications point to Ger
many delivering it's next hard blow
against Serbia, the purpose being rs
provide means Of communication
with its Ottoman ally. 1t Is also liz
creasingly manifest that Germany lis
looking to the east to affect a settle
ment Of the war That nation would
occupy most favorable position to-
ward securing Bulgaria's aid in reach
ing Constantinople by over-running
Serbia.
The Turkish reports today claim re-
newed successes during recent fighting
at the Dardanelles, but there is na
disosition here to accept Ottoman re-
ports as authentic in view of past es-
perience with Constantinople news dis
patches.

today that the main body of the Rus

problematical.
