GOULD SMALLEST TWlRLER.
Cleveland Indians Young Pitcher is
 Making Good.

It is the opinion of Manager Lee Fohl of the Cleveland club that Jay Gould. the young pitcher secured by the Indians this summer from the Three Eye league. has proved one of the happiest finds of the season.
 Though he has been with the Indians only a short time. Gould has al. ready won a place as a regular. Brought up at time when tue club was in need of pitchers. Gould showed at the very outset that he could con tend with big Ieaguers. and he did much to keep the Indians in the race while Morton and Kiepfer were un able 10 take their turns.
 Gould k the smallest pitcher on the American league. q distinction that be lOnged to Wolfgang of Chicago. But for his size Gould would probably have been sent mp before. Scouts from both big leagues have looked him over, as he was a steady winner in the minors He was the object of much observation last season and for a time this year. but most of the scouts passed on him because of his size.

NEW GOLF CLUB COURSES.

A majority of the golf clubs that keep pace with the times are having their courses made more difficult. In this line of work Willie Park. the well known links architect who came to this country few months ago. is kept busy, one week finding him in the west. another in the south md another somewhere im New England
 Park recently competed nine holes for the Meadow Brook club at Crosse Point near Detroit The fairways for these holes will be seeded down this fall so as to have them ready for play in the spring. At that time Park wiil resume his labors on the other nine holes. as the club plans eventually to have an elaborate eighteen hole cir cuit

Havre, France. Dec. t.-Five hundred
judges and members Of the Belgian
bar. notable among whom are the
judges Of the Court Of Cessation OF
Brussels, the Court Of Appeals and the
Courts Of Commerce, have signed a
protest TO General Won Kissing, the mil
itary governor of Belgium, against the
deportations of Belgisns as in "con-
tempt of natural rights, of the statute
law and OF the law Of nations"
The letter appeals for a reversal OF
the DEGREES under which the deporta-
tons are conducted. "a man is the
master Of his person. of mis- energies
and Of his will" the letter adds.
Forced labor is punishment reserved
for great crimes
Twenty Belgian Senator'S and twenty
three Belgian Deputies now living IN
Brussels also have taken the personal
risk OF sending signed protest 10
General Won Kissing against the de-
portations. The Senators and Deputies
at the same time sent copies OF their
protest TO Brand Whitlock. the Amerl-
can Minister 10 Belgium, to the Mar

sentative Of other countries copies OF

circles here tonight that the German
steamer might have come out under
her own name after having been DIS
guised as far as possible to resemble
the other Gamma. 49,,
The Dutch Gamma sailed from Phiis-
delphia on October 10 for Amsterdam
where she arrived OH November To- =,
The raider is believed to have slipped
through the Allied blockade In the
North Sea, under cover Of one OF the
recent warship raids on the EngiiSh
coast. Early in November 1t was re-
liably reported that these tactics were
being employed by the Germans IN
their efforts to free raiders for WORK
in distant waters. Six or more SUD,
marines were believed to have pierced
the ring of Entente defences in sucn
a manner last month and TO have raid
ed shipping off the French coast for
several days before they were com
PEELED to return TO their bases.
That Germany may release Meet or
sea raiders similar to those winch took
heavy toll Of Allied shipping during
the first year of the war IS the impress
sion gained in some quarters from con-
sideration OF the above dispatch. The
vessel mentioned may be the first OF
these VOLTS of commerce come to prey
on shipping off these coasts.
German sea raiders inflicted more
damage while they held sway over the
seas than submarines have been able
to do. II was considered no remarkable
exploit for German raider In the trst
months Of the war TO sink two vessels
a week. The Emden, in the three short
months previous 20 her sinking in the
Indian Ocean, in November, 1914, sank
twenty-five ships, valued at slo,000,0 900,
five times what IL cost TO build her.
The Karlsruhe sent eleven vessels 20

two weeks. The Kronprinz Wilhelm de
stroyed fourteen vessels before eluding
the British cruisers and seeking shell
ter in Newport News in April, 1910.
The Prinz Eitel Friedrich, in a $4,000
mile voyage from Tslng-Tau, where sh,
was fitted out at the opening OF the
war, TO Newport News, where she was
interned in March, 1915, preyed on com
merce in three oceans, inhicting VAST
amount Of damage.
The Moewe, Germany's speediest and
most noted commerce raider, returned
TO her home port early this year with
the booty from fifteen vessels captured
and sunk OF the Brazilian coast, and
that was only part Of the prize she had
won in her active life as raider.

Violent Attacks Herald
Mackensen Offensive,
Experts Assert
LEAVING RUMANlA
TO CRUSH SARRAlL
British Admit Peril to
Armies from Teut0ns
and Greeks
lRf Cahls 20 The Trlbun,l

London, Dec S.-The Teutons are
planning a great offensive against the
Macedonian armies Of the Entente,
with the capture Of Salonica as the
ultimate goal. This is the opinion oil
close followers of the war and OF the
strategy of the German command as
evinced in all its Eastern campaigns.
Serbian and French dispatches re-
ceived to-day lend color to the idea
that this offensive is already under
way. Thursday night, according to the
French War Office, Germano- bulgarian
forces delivered violent counter at
tack upon the Serbian positions east OF
the Cerna.
II was one of the most powerful eff
forts made in weeks by the Teutonic
troops. King Peters forces were COM
PEELED TO withstand three successive
assaults, the second and third more
powerful than the first. Although the
attackers failed to gain any advantage,
they exhibited more power than they
have shown in some time. Apparently
they have been heavily reinforced since
the fall of Bucharest.
The present situation Of Rumanla,
coupled with the Greek crisis, gives
Germany her chance, in the opinion OF
observers. If the Russian forces IN
the Carpathians can be checked, Mack
ensen probably will dig in before the
Rumanian lines, abandon for the time
being the idea of pursuing the enemy
into Bessarabia-an extremely dIhcuit
and hazardous operation at the least
and, swinging his main forces around,
strike at SarraiPs army.
Should the tide turn definitely
against the Entente forces in Mace
donia they would face grave menace
from Greece. A large part OF the
Greek people would stand behind KING
Constantine in any efforts to abet the
Teutons, or even to join actively IN the
war on the side of the Central Powers
fhat much is freely conceded here,
though such a supposltion does not
take into account any measures that
the Entente would take against Athens
il such situation should be threat
ened.
With Mackensen leading in the at
tack on Sarrsil's forces, with strong
units under his command. there would
be some doubt as to the abb lity OF the
Allied troops to withstand the blow.
Besides the military. advantage tha'
would accrue from the removal oil the
menace against the Vardar Valley and
the Oriental railroad, such an often
siye. if successful, would have an IN
estimably important moral effect.

Tens of Thousands VOlun-
teered for German Work,
Says Government
CONFUSION "ONLY
FOR THE STUBBORN"
Asserts All Are Offered
Chance to Sign Contracts
at Profitable Wages

Berlin. Dec. S.-The German govern
ment has Issued a statement in ex-
PLANTATION and justification of the trans
fer of Belgian lsborers to Germany
It says the measure is by no means
hardship for the laborers, but is a So
cial necessity.
Owing chiefly TO the British embargo
against Belgium's overseas trade,
which before the war supported large
part OF the industrial population. large
numbers Of Belgian workers are idle,
the statement says, and conditions are
growing worse.
Deny Blame for Unemployment
Many families, after spending all
their savings, have become objects OF
public charity. This state of things IL
not due, as asserted in Belgium. TO
German acquisitions of raw material,
it is explained. for these acquisitions

were unable to continue operations.
OF 100000 employees engaged in Bel
glan industries before the war 5O5,OOo,
including $4,000 women, arc now
wholly without work, and 10000, IN
GLIDING $4,000 women, are partly WITH
out work. making total Of $4,000 per
sons dependent on public aid. In add
ton 20 these, there are 293 900 wives
and $4,000 children of men without
work, so that 100000 persons, or one
fifth of the total Belgian population,
require assistance.
People Are Degenerating
More than s60,0oO,oo0 already has
been spent in supporting these persons,
and $4,000. 900 monthly will be required
henceforth. These masses of idle peo-
pie, the statement says, are degenerat-
ing. and drunkenness and social ie-
pravity are resulting.
The German Governor General, Gen
ersl Won Kissing, early recognized the
necessity of taking measures TO help
the idle to obtain employment. lie
caused municipalities TO undertake
public works TO create employment
where this was possible without i'm
posing too great financial burdens
Tens of thousands voluntarily accepte'
work in Germany at profitable wages
The statement goes ON to say that
the labor situation in Belgium has
grown worse and that conditions are
now such as TO necessitate improve
ment; hence the ordinance must be
enforced more vigorously in order to
relieve the situation.
Before compulsory transport, how
ever, every idle person is offered the
opportunity voluntarily 70 accept prof
table work on contract, and compul-
sion is resorted TO only where the Ia
borer stubbornly refuses.
Get Higher German Wages
Workmen coming to Germany are
placed on th3 same footing as Ger
mans and az calming higher wages
than they ever received in Belgium.
Steps have been taken to send part
of their earnings TO their families in
Belgium.
The laborers also are permitted TO
make regular visits TO their homes, and
families are allowed 10 accompany
them to Germany il that is desired.
Provision also is made for religious
services in their own language.
in view of the circumstances, the
statement says, the transportation OF
workmen to Germany means a consid-
cradle betterment in their position.

BRITISH SEE WAR
WON ANDENDNEAR,
J. p. MORGAN SAYS
"Allies Certain to Triumph AS.
serts Financier-Refuses to
Talk on Election

People in England believe that Ger
many is beaten, and that peace will
come sooner than many Americans ex'
pect," said J. P. Morgan on his return
late yesterday afternoon aboard the
American liner Finland from q three
months business trip abroad. Mr.
Morgan declined to make any comment
on the financial mission which took
him to London. hut did admit having a
long audience with King George.
There is no doubt regarding the
outcome OF the war;" Mr.. Morgan con-
tinued. 1T is certainty that the
Allies will win. but how long 1t Will
be before the signing OF the treaty OIL
peace is purely matter Of conjecture.
People in England believe that 1t will
be soon" The Allies fiscal agent de-
clined to express his personal views
on the duration Of the war.
Mr. Morgan denied that he was I'll
while abroad, adding that he had en-
joyed the best Of health and had spent
some time at his shooting lodge in a
Midland county. He appeared in the
best Of health and seemed moro salts
fed than when he sailed.
When asked to discuss the politiesl
situation in this country he shook HE
head and smilingly answered. What
is the use Of holding post-mortems? 7"
He said that he was in Paris At tho
time of the Presidential election, and
that the people there did not seem TO
care whether Wilson or Hughes was
elected. He asked whether Congress
was controlled by a Democratic or Re
publican majority. but on receiving the
reply thst it was Democratic he accept
cd the information without comment.
