MARCAN SIGNS WITH
VENICE, CAL, CLUB
Second Stacker Will Not Be!
With BarOns Next
Season

Milwaukee. Wis. January 1o-(special)
Arthur Marcan, known in the baseball
world as Lii will not be with Birming
ham the coming season. His search for a
new berth is successful. and he has
signed with the Venice, Cal, club in the
Pacific Coast league. Marcan states that
he anticipates no difficulty in securing his
release from the Barons, inasmuch as he
was informed when his 1914 salary was
cut that he would not be forced to play
in birmingham II he could secure larger
salary elsewhere Marcan opened nego-
tiations with Portland. Ore, in the North
western league, but Happy" Hogan,
manager of the Venice club, needed a
keystoner and signed the Birmingham
second baseman
President Robert H Baugh of the Bir-
mingham Baseball association, stated last
night that he knew nothing of the pro-
posed release of Marcan, as all the de-
tails of contracts were in the hands of
Manager Carleton Wordsworth.

lease Of Marcan.' said President Baugh,
but will probably receive some word

leases are all in the hands of Moles-
WORTH
The sporting editor of The Age-Herald
was advised few days ago that Marcan
was seeking a job to pasture elsewhere
the coming season, presumably on the
Pacific coast as he was dissatisfied with
the manner in which the local fans had
treated him. In a popular voting contest
the fans awarded Roy ELAN the Jaffe
trophy, at the close of last season, as
their choice for the most valuable man
on the Birmingham team. For reasons
known only to himself, Marcan believed
that he should have been awarded the
trophy and hence his aversion to playing
again with the Barons.

American commerce with neutral coun-
tries contiguous to Germany and Austria
had increased materially since the out
break Of the war were regarded here as
misleading 1t was pointed out that in
view of the breaking down of normal
trade routes many noncontraband pro-
ducts had been shipped through neutral
countries.
AS to the increase in shipments of
copper to Italy it was pointed out that
the Italian ambassador here already had
explained that Italy, which previously
had obtained copper from Germany and
Austria, now was forced to import from
the United States because of the embargo
on expectation which the belligerents
themselves had imposed. The American
government contends, moreover. that If
copper has reached belligerents through
neutral countries 1t is the duty of the
British to make more effective arrange
ments with those neutral countries.
Great Britains admission that as to
foodstuffs and conditional contraband
Lord Salisbury's doctrine quoted in the
American note. would be followed by the
British and that foodstuffs would be
held up only when destined to an enemy,
also was pleasing to American officials
There is every reason to believe that
the United States will not accept Great
Br1talnS view that cargOes must be
taken into port for extended examina-
ton. While the statistics cited show that
only As cargoes out of 773 actually have
been taken into prize courts, officials
here note that no mention is made in
the British note of the great number
of American cargoes detained and sub
sequently released 1t was not the loss
already suffered by American commerce
which brought forth the American note
but the desire to prevent future mistreat-
ment. The United States also laid stress
upon the effect which the detentions al
ready made had had on shippers who
hesitated to export cargoes on account
of hazards involved. and what was
termed the indecision of the British au-
thorities in applying their own rules.
Officials regarded as novel the argu-
ment of Great Britain that it could
not give unlimited adherence to the rules
with respect to conditional contra nd
destined for belligerents, because Brit
aims enemies had departed from hith-
erto accepted rules of civilization and
humanity 1t was suggested American
commerce should not be forced to suf-
fer because of circumstances over which
the American people could have no pos
sible control.
AS a whole, the British note was re-
garded as satisfactory, though the state
department will marshal facts to dis
pute some of it's contentious. These will
be set forth in the American reply.
Meantime changes being put into eff
feet daily by the allies in treatment
of neutral commerce are counted upon
to ameliorate the situation generally.

Washington, January 1N.-Though off,
cials were reserved in their comment,
1t was said authoritatively tonight that
they regard the tone of the note as
entirely friendly and believe that further
discussion which will follow it will be
carried on in the same vein.
The admission by Great Britain of one
of the chief points In the American note
that the relations between neutrals were
those of normal times of peace and not
of war-was gratifying to officials, who
believed the controversy now would re-
solve itself in a frank discussion of what
were the actual necessities which impel
interference by a belligerent when sus-
pecting that the ultimate destination of
a neutral cargo is belligerent territory.
