England Is in a peculiar position.
Germany liz practically cut off She IS

since there is nothing to he paid for.
England does not produce foodstufs. has
not enough for her population and must
purchase abroad. Prices of foodstuns
have risen from 30 20 100 per cent, and
since England's export trade is crippled
the balance OF trade is very much

Wisconsin's veterans, called from the
General this glowing tribute: 81 have
had the assurance of your Governor
that you have come back from the war
pure and untainted by the vices that
aftilct humanity, and that the men of
Wisconsin have resumed their labor on
the plough and in the workshop rs in
the days gone by. The old despotisms
Of Europe will look upon that simple
fact as as greater honor to you, and
rejecting more credit upon our Coun-
try, than all the facts and victories OF
war. Wisconsin has stood nobly in
this war, she has done her full duty"
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A criber.-Question: Will you
tell US the family relations that exist
between the rulers OF the European
countries now at war? Answer! AL
most all the belligerent sovereigns are
kin, most Of them being cousins.
First-King George V. Of Great Brit
ain and Ireland is first cousin of Kais-
er William of Germany.
Second-King George is also first
cousin of the Empress of Russia.
Third-Kaiser William of Germany
and the Empress of Russia are first
cousins.
Fourth-King Albert Of Belgium is a
cousin of King George of England.
Fifth-Queen Helena of Italy is a
daughter of King Nicholas of Monte
negro.
If Greece became embroiled in the
conflict another relationship would have
to be set down in the person of Queen
Sophia Dorothea Of Greece, who is Sis
ter TO Kaiser William of Germany.
No tie of kinship exists between the
king of Italy and the Emperor of Aus
tria, nor between them and the other
monarchs.
A Observation-Disclosures you kindly
oblige a subscriber by giving brief
outline OF what is commonly called the
Ozark Ages" AT what period Of
time was it and just why they were
called the Ozark Ages?" Answer
Ozark Ages" is name applied either
to the whole or part of the Middle
Ages. The latter term is commonly
used to designate the historical period
between the times Of classical antiquity
and modern times. The beginning and
close Of this period are not very def
mite. 1t is usual, however, to regard
the Middle Ages as beginning with the
overthrow of the Western Roman En-
pire by the barbarians in the Fifth CEN
fury, and ending at the close of the
Fifteenth century, or the beginning Of
the Sixteenth century. Some scholars
prefer to make the close of the Middle
Ages and the beginning of modern
history coincide with the Renaissance
in Italy in the Fourteenth century. BY
some, who profess to follow precise
landmarks, the Middle Ages are Tade
to extend from the fall of the Roman
Empire in 476 to that of the Byzantine,
or Greek EHpire, in 1853, when Con-
stantinople vas taken by the Turks.
Others again make the Middle Ages
terminate with the discovery OF Amer
lea by Columbus in 1892, or again with
the great religious upheaval of the
Sixteenth century. The term Dark
Ages is frequently used to cover the
greater part Of the Middle Ages, the
designation being applied by some to
the period from the Fifth to the Elev-
enth century, and by others made to
embrace all but the last two centuries
of that epoch.

II Eddie Collins slumps in his hittins

Just about right. The infield Is slow and
makes IT next to impossible to hit sharp
bounders. the infelders seizing many
drives that would be fair on other dia-
monds.
But the sox have a mighty sweet
bunch of pitchers. Russell. Wolfgang.
Cicotte. Faber, Scott. and Benz have the
real goods In their makeup and. with
good support they are sure to worry
every opponent. Indeed. there are points
of similarity between the White Sox
and the Griffmen. Both have good
pitchers and catchers. The Sox hit
AS base runners. the Griffmen have the
edge and that Is about all the advant-
age they have over Rowland's outht
Tight Unfolding" is the mark of the
many close games that the Sox will lose
for the want of It. Timely wallops will
do as much for the Sox frequently when
the Griffmen will lose out for the lack
of them.
It is doubtful II the White Sox pitch
ers will go all through tho season at
top speed. Behind mediocre twirling
they do not look as good as the Grifr-
men under the same conditions. Their
fielding Is looser and their speed much
less. But as long as that bunch OF
fingers deliver the goods. the Sox will
be contenders in this race.
Tommy Connolly. the newest Grir-
man, was tickled to meet Eddie Col
Inns. They both graduated from Irving
School. at Tarrytown, n. Y. and Col
Inns presented Connolly with a medal
last year for excellence in athletics
and studies.
You're with a good team and a good
manager" Collins told Connolly. Now
go out and show that you're in the
right company"
Collins tried to get Connolly to go
with the Athletics last season. but the
youngster turned down the proposition
in order to continue his studies. He
will finish his course at Georgetown
University. though he will be unable to
play football or baseball at the Hill
top any more. He has three more
years to 80 at Georgetown.
