BASEBALL MASS
Meeting TONIGHT
Organization of a League Is
Among the Possibil-
tiles.

a mass meeting OF all the baseball
players and those whose ambition is to
become a baseball player will be held
tonight at the Y. NJ. c. a. at 1880. The
meeting is called by Physical Director
Buckley and it is likely that the dis.
cussion of the baseball plans will re.
suit in the formation of a league of
some sort that will give most every
one an opportunity to engage in the
national pastime.
Baseball players and all who are in.
tercsted in the game whether mem
bers OF the Y. NJ. c. A. or not are
urged to be present so that a definite
course of action can be determined
upon. Director Buckley has personal
ly visited a large number OF the men,
bers OF last years teams that were
members Of the local leagues and re.
quested them to be present but owing
TO the short notice OF the meeting 1t
has been impossible for him to see
everyone For thsi reason 1t Is urged
that all players be present whether
notified dr not. With the ap,,roa" ming
straw hat season the baseball fans OF
the city are restless and consumed
with an uncomfortable desire to sit in
the bleachers and criticise the umpire
and give free and pertinent advice to
each and every player.
Z To provide qualification of this
laudable and natural 6ssire is the am.
hitfOn of the management of the Y NJ
C: A. and the mass meeting tonight
is the first step in the accomplishment
OF this purpose.

PREVENT RELApSES OF GRIP

who have had the form of influenza
known as "the grip" are suffering from
the condition in which the disease in
variably leaves its victims.
Grip leaves the blood thin and this
anemia which follows grips very stub
born one in resisting treatment. 1tmust
be corrected however before any cure can
be considered permanent. As long as
the blood remains thin there will con-
tinue the relapses with which most sTS-
ferers from grip are familiar. Warmth
and quiet alone give comfort and these
not for long at time. Sleep is restless
and does not refresh the nerves which
are always at high tension.
The best way to correctthis after-efl,ect
of the grip is to build up the blood and
there is no better blood builder than DR..

American Dollar Rapidly
Finds Place in Hearts of
Mexicans; Start Aerial Line
By .4ssocic'sd Press

Columbus, \. NJ. March % - The
American dollar rapidly is finding a
place in the hearts OF the people of
Northern Chihuahua, according to SOL
dters and civilians arriving at the
border to-day from General Pershins's
headquarters. The people OF the dis
tricts through which the American
troops passed al first were coldly
friendly, but when they found that
the Americans did not commander
their livestock and food supplies as
have Mexican armies passing through
the same district their courtesy and
friendliness increased.
The price, took increased value
when the inhabitants found that the
Americans had money and was willing
to spend it TO satisfy his wants An
example is cited that eggs were readily
purchasable for ten cents n dozen by
the first troops passing through La
Ascension, but by yesterday the price
had reached fifty cents a dozen and
showed signs of rising further
Aero Dispatch Line Opened
The arrivals said that the word
that the Americans desired product
and would pay for it, passed rapidly
from town TO town and the farmers
had their wagons drawn up in the
main streets of La Ascension, Colonia
Diaz and Casas Grandes by the time
the second detachment of troops
reached those places.
Lieutenant Dargue of the aero
corps left here early to-day on the
first trip from Columbus to Casas
Grandes in the recently established

San Carlos Company in
Favor at Pittsburgh

Word comes through the exchanges
that the Pittsburgh engagement of the
San Carlo Grand Opera Company, at
the Nixon Theater, was one of the
extra ordinary successes of the musi-
eel season in that city, every one of
the performances of the organization
being sold out. On Saturday evening
when Nerdis III TroVatore" was sung
there were hundreds unable TO secure
seats, and these constituted an extra
tlIrong that remained standing during
the entire performance. Seldom, if
ever, has Pittsburgh paid similar
Tribute TO any opera company.
Tomorrow nights production of
Donizetti's beautiful three-act opera,
Lucia Di Lamm ermoor," at Chestnut
Street Auditorium. will be the oc-
casion of a splendid turnout of music
lovers and society folk. There has
been large advance sale of seats for
all three performances, but the in
terest in the opening opera here.
which proved one of the distinct sue
cesses of the company's Pittsburgh
engagement, is uppermost in local
amusement circles.
The San Carlo artists will arrive to-
morrow morning by special train.
The Pittsburgh Dispatch says:
The performance moved with spirit
and aroused great enthusiasm. re-
peated calls of Bis, Bis coming from
the galleries. Nine. Naccari in parti-
cular received many plaudits, and the
work of SalaZar and Antola also came
in for special recognition

ment realizes the interest that is be-
ing shown in the new highway across
the state and that every effort will be
made to help along the movement
He explained that much more could
have been accomplished in road build
ing in Pennsylvania IL the Legislature
had worked out a system of roads in
stead of turning over a network of 10,
200 miles of highways to the depart
ment. He said that the first idea OF
the Sproul good roads bill was to turn
over about 1000 miles but that mem
bers of the Legislature. desirous OF
getting better roads in the communi-
ties they represented, dumped hundreds
of miles of unimproy ed roads into the
department. Mr.. Cunningham spoke
of the need of another great highway
across the State and said he believed
there should be one or two others
running north and south and east and
west He pointed out that the pro-
posed William Penn Highway will be
OF great benefit to market people es-
pecially because of the growing com
munitieS through which il passes and
urged that II be not merged with the
Lincoln highway.
Mr.. Cunningham also took occasion
70 say that the money which is col
lected Is license fees from autoists
should be put back into highways and
ne asked that the voters request their
legislators TO have that money become
an appropriation to the department
Mr.. Cunningham said that the road
appropriation for 1917 is only $1,000
600 but that he believes a million
more can be raised through the coun-
ty commissioners and supervisors who
are interested in good roads in various
parts of PENNSYLVANIA. Mr. Cunning
ham said the highway department is
willing to help in every way possible
in securing the William Penn High
way and asked the men present 10 go
to the department when they need ad-
vice in road matters. Through Mr..
Cunningham, each of the men present
was presented with a road map OF
Pennsylvania.

BRITISH FLEET
EXPECTS BATTLE
Often Scudding to Sea Look
ing For Long-awaited Ger
man Warships

At the Great Naval Base, March 90.
German warships have been out in
the North Sea and our sailors are
convinced they will again be out soon.
There has been more than one scrap"
recently. The Aioewe evaded the
blockade both out and in. and British
naval men are the first to acknowl-
edge the skillful and daring seaman
ship OF her commander. The dash
on the Logger Bank when she sank
minesweeper was not the Germans
'only recent foray. and we have got
in some blows before they found refuge
behind the Frisian littoral.
our fleet is now never long at its
moorings. Ii becomes restless behind
the multiple defenses which guard the
narrow channels to the base. and dur
ing the last four weeks the battle
squadron has often sCudded TO sea. u
is out on the prowl now al quicker
intervals than We have ever known il;
oftener even than in the very early
days Of war.
The fleet cruises "out there" in bat
tie formation, and the discomfort en-
gerdered by the long waiting in shell
tered waters has vanished like the ris-
ing mists Of a Spring morning.
There has been something doing.
We expect more, lots more. The Off
GERS are buoyant, the men are salts
fed and Contented. for the fears that
had crept in that the Germans would
never come out. but hold their fleet
as ransom in peace conditions, have
been dispelled and hopes have sud-
denly blossomed and bloomed that 'he
Germans are preparing for THE Day"
The command OF the North Sea has
never passed out of our hands sec
ond. and the time is approaching
when the absolute and unfettered COM
mand of these waters win mean more
than anything hitherto to us and TO
challenge il will transcend all other
considerations in this war to Ger
many.
That the Germans have made pre-
parations for considerable naval op-
erations cannot be doubted. It is per-
missible and profitable to consider the
possibilities. From Borkum, the most
Southerly of the Frisian Dutch coasO
Islands held by Germany, TO the Elbe
and the western entrance of the kiel
Canal, is a little more than seventy
miles. Naval operations behind the
eastern Frisian Islands are impossible.
Shoals and sand banks cover the
mouths OF the Ems, the Weser and the
Elbe. making Germany impregnable
10 attack from that side, and the sand
wastes veiled by the fringe of the
Frisian Islands of Borkum, Juist, Nor
derney, Langeoog, Spikeroog and
Wangeroog. with the north flank rest
ing on. Heligoland, afford a safe re-
treat.
The Germans may wish TO fight off
the dangerous eastern Frisian littoral.
but the British navy can ultimately
select the waters whereon to fight the
battle with this pretender TO our king
dom Of the sea.
