Is Baseball Baseball
 or Is it Ease Ball''?

Is baseball baseball? Mo- Clarence, this is not foolish question No. 2,478 It is asked in all seriousness, and the question affords opportunity for much controversy in the councils of the Hot Stove League. f
 So far as the great majority of those able and brilliant men who write baseball dope for the daily press are concerned, the issue was decided long ago. Baseball is baseball If there is a sporting writer on a daily paper in the United States of Canada who holds that baseball isn't baseball. the writer isn't aware of his identity.
 Most of the up-to-date dictionaries of the American language uphold the contention of the baseball writers that baseball is baseball Backed up by such good, authority as this, the matter should be considered as set tied, perhaps. But it isn't. A small but influential minority continue to adhere to the old notf6n that baseball, isn't baseball at all. but base ball. This is, that it is not one word, but two. s-
 Of the publications devoted largely or exclusively to the great American pastime, Sporting News of St. Louis and the. Baseball Magazine refer to the game as baseball. On the con- tfary.5 Sporting Life of Philadelphi1, one of the recognized Journalistic au AAAO14l1SS O1ll pS4S0Odl1t never makes use of the compound word. If by any chance some ignorant cornpositor should call it ''basebaI,'' and the Sporting Life proofreader permitted it to get by, we fancy there would be a great commotion in tn eedftoriaI of fee of our valued Quaker City con- temporary
 Nor is Sporting Life alone in stand ing pat on the old form. Most of the leading baseball annuals. including Spa1ding's and Reach's, make two words of base ball. They seem deter mined to stick to their guns in spite of Ellen Eighwater, and with them it will probably be base ball'' until the end of time.
 In the early daysTof. the game base balP' was universal. After a time, as the game increased in popularity many publications adopted the hyphenated form, and it became tbase-ba1l.'' At a still later period along In the sos, as nearly as can be discovered--the newspapers began to drop the hyphen, and 'tbaseball'' came into use.
 With all regard for those publica- tions which adhere to the old form, the writer can see no valid reason for it's continuation. Common usage has set the stamp of approval upon the simple form of baseball unhyphe- mated, one and indivtsib1e. E

William T. Ellis
 Has Experiences
 of Great Interest

One of the interesting things in the life of William T. Ellis, who will speak under '. M. c. A. auspices Sun day at the Plaza theatre, is the ex- perience he had near the heart of the Mohammedan country. It was on one of his two tours of the world, when he went to study social, political and religious conditions, that he came to Kerbe1a. No Christian is allowed to live here, and especially on anniver- sary days is being there for Christians a dangerous affair. MT. Ellis and his companion did not know this, and during the night they were given dish of pilaf, which they innocently ate, only to discover later that it was poisoned. MT. Ellis was dangerously ill as a result and suffered for weeks.
 His travelling experiences give him much material for his address on when the Soldiers Come Back" which will be a discussion of changed economic and social conditions fol- lowing the war.

Verne Lewis Confesses to Crushing Skulls of Six With Flat Irons as They Lay Asleep, Say
 Terre Haute Officers

Terre Haute, Ind, March 22-Verne Alphonse Lewis killed Mrs. Mary Bald ine and three of her children and att tempted to kill the two other children on the night of March 14. because he "loved them so" and did not wish to see them go away, according to a confes- sion the police say Lewis made tooay. The murderer crushed the skulls of his six victims with flat irons as they lay asleep. The two who survived are suf- fering from fractured skulls and physi- clans say will die.
 Tn his alleged confession Lewis says that he had learned that the Bald ings were preparing to remove from Terre Haute and that he loved them 60 he couldn't bear to see them go.
 Lewis was taken to Indianapolis late today for confinement, because, police say, they feared mob violence. The Nigoy county grand jury returned an in- dictment against him late today for first degree murder
 Detectives have been working on the case since the crimes were discovered or the morning of March 15.

OVER A THOUSAND
 ON CENSOR BUREAU
British Government Answers Bryce as to the Curtailment of
 Information

London, Friday, March 12.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press. .)-More than 1000 persons are employed in censor ing news or letters entering and leaving Great Britain. according to a statement by the government in reply to question by viscount Bryce in the House of Lords
 Viscount Bryce urged that fuller in- information be allowed to reach England on questions of foreign politics.
 Tt is much to be regretted said ke 'if cables and correspondence from such a country as the United States are so ln- terfered with that they fail to have. a just and complete picture of public opin- ion in that country"
 The government spokesman said the in structions given to censors aimed to pre- vent the circulation of information valu- able to the enemy and to prevent the circulation of false reports or reports which would be inimieal to the successful prosecution of the war. There was no censorship of foreign newspapers coming into England, except an examination for secret ciphers and news from foreign countries was not unduly interfered with.
 Lord Loreburn said he believed the censorship could do very little good, but might do a great deal of harm. There is undoubtedly great deal of apprehen- sion,' he added, that information is not even given out as it should be. The
