 Cleveland has sent Infielder Ivan Howard to Portland, Ore, as part of the transaction by which the Indians got First Baseman Guisto. This makes seven players Cleveland has given for Guisto, who is said to be a wonder. Portland also got some cash in addition to the players.
 It appears certain now that a big shakeup is coming in the Giant squad. McGraw feels that certain players have been with the club too long and that an injection of new blood will help.
 The population of Colorado may fall for the Freddy Welsh Charley White bout on Labor day but the rest of the country is not wildly enthusiastic. The critics think Welsh is too clever for White and that 1t will be just an other one of those dancing numbers.

 Delegations from all over the state will be at the outing. Athletes of other city departments have entered for the boxing bouts and also for the wrestling. There will be heavy weight, middleweighf and lightweight classes in boxing and the same classi- f1cation will prevail in wrestling. It looks as if the biggest crowd of the season will be at the Beach on Satur- day. The receipts will go into the Police Sick Benefit fund.

Military experts have it figured out
that defeat faces Germany unless
Verdun eventually falls before the ter
rifle onslaught of her guns and men,
But a victory bout at Verdun at such
a. tremendous price as Germany Is
having would be pretty much OF the
same sort that Pyrrhus, the KING OIL
Epirus. won at the Siris river in Luz
cania in his first big battle with the
Romans. The soldiers of Pyrrhus
were literally decimated by the
Romans, and just when victory was
in sight for the latter, Pyrrhus played
a trump card that he had up ms
sleeve. He trotted out contingent
of elephants, whose strange appear
ance and gigantic size excited sud
den panic among the Romans, ana
they fled in panic from the field that
they had practically won. AS fyrrnus
surveyed the scene of battle, after ms
elephants had gotten in their line
work. and looked sadly upon his num-
erous dead, he remarked: Another
such victory, and 1 must return TO
Epirus alone"

begin by putting into the work of
preparation some of the energy and
determination and some of the dis
position to pay the costs of prepara-
ton which have been characteristic of
Mr. Roosevelt's propaganda.
The Republican party undoubted-
ly ought to be the party of energetic
and forehanded national preparation.
During its period of domination it did
plan an economic and legal organiza-
ton, which answered the prevailing
and popular demand by accelerating
enormously the production of wealth.
But when it was asked to carry the
Job further and arrange that the
wealth whose production and private
appropriation had been so encouraged
should be better distributed and should
provide for the economic independ-
ence of the American citizens whose
power to labor constituted their only
asset, the Republican party faltered
and divided. 1t looked as if an irrep-
arabic mistake had been committed
when the Republican machine four
years ago refused to remedy the pre-
vailing economic and political evils
and prepare to obtain for American
citizens a higher general standard of
living. But perhaps the mistake is
not irreparable. The same goal may
be reached by another road. The agi-
tation for preparedness, military and
naval, may help public opinion to I'M
derstand that an efficient, wasteful,
and socially callous nation cannot be
prepared for fighting, because its
whole organization will break down
in the event of war on the modern
scale. Our American organization has
actually been breaking down at the
mere prospect of serious complications
with a foreign country. If we are to
prepared, consequently, we must pre-
pare not merely to defend our house,
but to put it in order-to put it much
more completely in order than the
Democrats have done or propose to
do. This is the opportunity of the Re-
publicans, as Mr.. Roosevelt has so
clearly pointed out. In order to seize
it they do not necessarily have to
nominate Mr.. Roosevelt, although it is
fair that they should; but if the man
they do nominate fails TO grasp the
opportunity he will not only lose the
election, but restore the Republican
party as an ornamental facade rather
than as an enduring structure"

to see a niddle-aged fat man in an
ulster and unsightly goggles take
Amy's hand and assist her from a big
roadster.
Gerald saw the frank and charming
smile that Amy bestowed on her Cog
gled companion, whom he rightly
guessed to be the rich uncle of the
Martins. He saw her grace and trim
ness, which even sagging ulster ana
cap and veil did not hide, and he
hoped to win a smile of welcome from
her that would make the other men
present envy him sorely. But, alas for
hopes! The middle-aged man in the
ulster and goggles sent them all a-fly-
ing.
Congratulate usi" he called out, as
Mrs. d'Laittre and her guests stepped
upon the veranda. Gerald felt as if
bomb had hit him in the region of the
heart and he wished he might be miles
away when the next words came from
that offending mouth. But with the
next words his hopes came back with
bound, for they were these: I'VE are
the only two of the six in our party
who got back in time for Sunday din
ner, thanks to my new car.
A general laugh followed the an
nouncement that dinner was just over,
but Mrs. d'Laittre treasured the hun
cry motorists with promises of gen.
erous 1eft-overs. Gerald suddenly
found himself holding Amys hand
tightly and murmuring some words of
greeting which he couldn't have iden-
titled upon oath a moment later.
There was a welcome in her eyes,
though, that brought back his cour
age and his senses, as she presented
her middle-aged friend, at whom Ger
aid cast doubtful glance.
Don't glare at me like savage,
young man." whispered the uncle of
Mrs. Martin a moment later. as he
drew Gerald aside into the darkened
hall. do your glazing at these simps
and sissies with dollar marks for back
bones. I threatened to marry Amy to
save her from such as they and some
Ounce took me seriously and started
the report. I judge from your cool
ness that you've heard it, but take my
tip and don't go back west without
a promise from her. She told me to-
day she knew one man worth dozen
of these, and she said his last name
was the same as my first, which is
Mason. So, guess we're brother Ma
sons, all right, Ell ?"
The midd1e-aged man laughed
heartily at his joke, and on the moon
lit veranda that evening Amy con-
firmed what he had said in a manner
which fully compensated Gerald for
all the mental anguish he had under

"Ain' it awful, Mabel?" Washing
ton finally appears to be stirred to
wrath because the insulting Ian
guage used by Carranza in his recent
note has no precedent in the diplo-
matte history of the United States.
Perhaps this Insulting language may
be the hook on which will be hung
something that savors of actual inter-
vention in Mexico on the part OF the
United States. The murder of Amer
lean men and the ravishing of AIneri-
can women and the killing of Ameri-
can children in Mexico, as well as the
slaughter of Americans in their own
homes on American soil by Mexicans
are evidently insignificant matters
when set alongside some insulting
language from Carranza.

You never can tell. Some men are

It all depends on the point of view.

Love does not come with honeyed words
of praise,
To soothe the ear or blind our hungry
eyes;
But at the ending Of long, weary days,
With hands whose touch comforts and

True love comes not with glory. pomp or

It comes with twilight, and the fireside.
Love does not come when all the world
seems bright,
And fortune smiles upon us day by day.
But when the path seems darker than the
night:
And trembling lips, at last, refuse to
True love comes not when we are satisfied.
1t comes, thank God when every hope has

Probably the British statesmen and
newspapers will insist that the recent
German dash in the North sea, which
put such crimp in the reputation for
proves that the British navy has en-
joyed for so long, was born of despera-
ton on the part of Kaiser Wilhelm;
that he is so nearly whipped that he
took a long naval chance. and so on
and so forth. But if Germany is able
to deliver a few more swats of like
caliber to the British fleets, there
won't be any particular reason for
Kaiser Wilhelm to continue in his des-
perate mood.
