PRESIDENT GILMORE
SAYS MINOR LEAGUES
HOLD THE WHIP HAND

Chicago, July 2S.-Declaring minor
leagues hold the whip hand and need
not stand the gait" unless they
choose, President Gilmore Of the Fed
eral league, replied to a protest Of c.
T. Chaplin, president of the Rochester
Club of the International League,
against the signing by the st. Louis
Federals of Arthur E. Kores, whom
Rochester bought from the New York
Nationals for $4,000.
After pointing out that Kores' con-
tract contained a five-day clause and
declaring that he left the Rochester
Club without notice, Mr.. Chapin's let
ter said:
How can it be possible for such
a player to receive endorsement by
the Federal League we cannot under
stand how you plan to bring about
recognition for your league by or
ganized baseball in the face Of such
questionable methods"
In his reply Mr.. Gilmore said:
when the Federal League first en-
tered the field, we expected to recog-
nice everything about baseball con-
tracts except the reserve clause. My
first and only conference with Mr.. Ban
johnson in February. 1914, was to as
certain whether he would meet us on
that ground. When he declined. there
was only one course open. OF course

department had also enrolled 100000
volunteers, but it had been found diff
cult to remove the majority Of these
from their present employment. How
ever, scores of thousands of skilled
men who had been enlisted had been
traced, and arrangements were made
with the war Office for the return of
these men to the factories.
While the trade union leaders had
agreed to the relaxation of trade union
restrictions. he had not been able to con-
vince the men without giving figures.
which he dare not give. Were all restric-
tions relaxed, hundreds of thousands of
men would be added to these works.
Steps are being taken, said Lloyd
George, to increase the supply of ma
chine guns and hand grenades for trench
warfare. The country has been divided
into two great operative Arrears. SO that
all available machinery could be used
for turning out supplies. Mr.. Lloyd
George believed the men who would not
object to a temporary relaxation of their
trade union rules when the government.
and not an individual, was profiting.
The government had taken over the
control Of machine tool factories, so that
no delay would arise in equipping the
new establishment. This would tax the
engineering resources Of the country. but
when all was completed. within few
months, the government would be able to
equip the armies in e. way which would
leave them in no way inferior to the best
equipped armies on The ointment.

There Is no story in it," he said
I'VE stopped when shot was fired be-

that the Allies did 10. appreciate the
contributions. Great Britain was making
to the ultimate triumphs OF the common

Mansfield division Of Nottinghamshire,
seconded, an amendment that adjourn
ment should be for only four weeks.
Mobilization Of Industries
Sir Henry explained he did this be-
cause he was not satisfied with the sit
uation in Flanders, where it had been
understood there was to be a great ad-
vance during the spring and summer.
He could not understand why the indus
tries of the country had not been mobil-
lied and he wanted to know whether
anyone at the war Office had been CASH
tered for the failure to supply sufficient
munitions.
He also criticized the government S
delay in using gas against the Germans,
and he suggested that the reason for the
failure to do this was a breakdown to
the arrangements.
Sir Henry concluded that the discon-
tent among the workers was due to the
failure of the government deal with the
question of food supplies, which he con-
tended was responsible for the increase
in the cost of living.
Sir Henry did not press his amend
ment, and Premier Asquith's motion tina

BLANK CHECKS STOLEN
FRO NJ AUBURN man
AND LATER FORGED

Lewiston, Me-, July 2S.-Eighteen
checks from the. check book of A. c.

have been stolen. The theft is not one
of the amateurish kind but has the
daring and keen foresight Of the pro-
feSSional crook. .
The man came to the store Of Mr..
Myrick and asked permission to use
the telephone. which was readily
granted. Later a second visit was
made to the Myrick store. when Mr..
Myrick was absent and there was
another request to use the telephone.
This time the clerk gave the permits
sion and again the man talked over
the phone. He was dressed like a
farmer and his manners marked the
country gentleman. 1t was after the
second visit that the checks were
missed.
One of the stolen checks was cash
amount of $50. At this store suit
Of clothes was purchased for SIS. The
crook received S. in return as the
members of the firm did not doubt
the validity of Mr." Myrick's signature.
Later it was reported that man
who claimed to be in the employ of
Mr. Myrick, appeared at a Lewiston
music store and wanted to buy a
graphonola. Here he rendered check
saying that he would make payment
of $40 on the machine which he order
ed to be delivered at a certain address
in Auburn. His payment on account
was accepted and the amount of the
check over $40 was paid him in cash.
When an effort was made to deliver
the machine no such address, as he left
could be found.
1t was the cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank in Auburn that first
brought the attention of Mr.. Myrick to
the signatures on the checks.
The police in the two cities have no
detailed description of the man as
his appearance was such as not to de-
mand attention from anyone

London. July 20, 4.33 P. M.-The
war has become and is likely to con-
tinue for some time a contest Of en-
durance, Premier Asquith told the
House Of Commons this afternoon
while making a general review in
moving the adjournment of Parlia-
ment from tomorrow until Sept. IA.
Gallant Russian Efforts
The premier remarked:
I'VE should be ungrateful and in
sensitive indeed if we did not recog-
nize at this moment the indescribably
gallant efforts being made by our
Russian allies to stem the tide Of in
vasion and to retain inviolate the in
tegrity of their possessions"
Il don't think in the whole of mill
tary history there has been more
magnificent example of discipline and
endurance and Of both individual and
collective initiative than has been
shown by the Russian army in the
last seven weeks.
Our new allies, Italy. are with
carefully prepared movements stead
lily gaining ground. making their way
towards the objective which we be-
lieve In a very short time will be
within their reach"
The premier declared that the Brit
ish government confidence in the re-
suits Of the Dardanelles operations
was undiminished and emphasized his
confidence in the victory Of the French
and British armies in the West.
Fleets Operations
Referring to the fact that next week
would see the completion of a year of
war, Mr.. Asquith remarked that the
British fleet today was far stronger than
at the beginning of the war land to its
quiet and unobserved activity is due the
fact that the seas are substantially
clear
After ALL" said the premier, this
submarine menace, serious as it has ap-
peared to be, is not going to infiict fatal
or substantial injury on British trade.
The seas are clear.
I'VE have our supplies of food and raw
materials, upon which we and the rest
Of the country depend, flowing in upon
us in the same abundance and witt. the
