PARIS, France.-The subjoined Gu
rious communication written on thick,
official-Iooking folio paper without any
indication OF its origin, has been de-
livered by messenger at the office of
the Agence Havas, the principal news
agency in France:
1.-THE United States as the Prize for
Settlement Of the Present European
Conflict.
1T is stated on high authority that
suggestions have been made In the
diplomatic circles of European chan
celleries declaring that the easiest so
luton and the one most acceptable tc
all the warning nations wonld be the
partition among them Of the United
States of America. The United States
of America are a most inviting prize
as compensation for the sacrifices rem
dered by these nations, and an ar
rangement on the basis of the respec-
tive relations of the different nations
is surprisingly practicable
$50 far from being a visionary
scheme for a solution of this great
world conflict, the fact Is only too ap-
parent that only small part of the
effort expended in the sanguinary
struggle now raging would have suf-
feed to satisfy all nations in their re-
spective ambitions.
A noted diplomat declared his sur
prise that this idea of the partition
of the United States had not emerged
sooner, because the land is so largely
made up OF the constituency of all the
warning nations
The tentative plan to satisfy thus
the national ambitions of the Euro
pean countries at war, Instead of pro-
longing the internecine struggle, is
broadly outlined as follows:

ate public, because of her delightful
representations of the Occidental girl

with John Luther Longs classic, ma

a Japanese maid in order to study her

a semi-professional league to be
formed of the following cities: Mer-

home players excepting the battery
and to play without salary. The pro-
ceeds of the season to be divided up
among the players John M. Winetz-
XII, manager of the Wausau Cubs, is
the man behind the project.
The question before the fans of
this city now is, are we going to
have a city team to represent US in
this league? There is wealth of
material in this city and this in
cludes good battery men.
It is time to take the matter up
and find out whether We are going to
have another baseball farce like we
had last season or if we are going
to have team picked from thebest
material in the city to go out and
show the rest of the live towns of
