leagues and furnishes little informa-
ton on tho inner workings OF the game
10 prove Just why - IS not the goId

Among the benefits that vii! be
yorked" says Dreyfuss, will be
,tricter standard Of discipline. With
out a Federal League the players who
strung along and loafed Will nave 70
come down 70 earth and play real base
ball or 20 back 20 the minors az minor
league salaries This does not mean
that with the owners in the saddle the
ball players will have 70 work at
mental wages The stars viii always
command q salary. They are the artists
Of their profession. The other men
will get the wages.
The adjustment Of the Federal
league means better standard OF
baseball In the minor leagues. Many
of the big league players Will be
forced by greater competition 70 drop
back to the minor leagues, and by tins
same competition the baseball % the
two big leagues will be benefited.
Ball PLAYERS will now have 20 work for
us instead Of our working for them.
During last season the Federal League
.ook away from the National and the
American leagues about 100000.
The 1915 Pittsburgh clubs salary
list wa. some $4,000 In excess OF that
paid the players on the 1910 club. Tins
q true. salaries were considerably al
fected by the existence Of third

abstraction of the public with the con
ditions that prevailed and with II the
resultant falling of M attendance
Some clubs In the National League sup
ported salary list Of $4,000 during
1915. The cost Of operating the Pitts
burgh ball club last season was ap,
proximately 81 400 for each OF the l04
days of the playing season.
Hence IL can readily be seen that
conducting major league club Is not
"A picavuuish arrangement. The Pitts

This. If course. is 20 be expected;
a good ball player is valuable asset

AUSTRIAN ARMY CUT IN TWO
Germans Report Allies Losses $50, 1000
in Somme Offensive.

London, Aug. 2.-The second ami.
versary of Germany's declaration of
war on Russia finds the relative posi-.
tions of the belligerents very different
from those of the first anniversary.
The entente allies now are pursuing
successful offensive on all fronts
and the central powers are nearly
everywhere on the defensive. EN-.
peror William celebrated the occasion
by the issue of proclamations to his
army and navy and people, which
breathed a spirit of continued conf.
dence in ultimate victory for Ger
many.
The Austrian army has been almost
completely cut in two by the triple
advance of the Russian army and now
faces total collapse, according to the
Petrograd official statement tele
graphed to London.
Total losses of the allied armies
since the present offensive began on
the river Somme estimated by Berlin
at $4,000 men. Paris estimates the
average German losses at one division
daily since the drive was inaugurated
Russian attacks west OF Lutsk have
ceased. obviously owing to heavy
losses,' says the official Austrian
statement, which adds that other
fierce Russian attacks have been re-
pulsed without exception.
Furious German attacks preceded
by artillery bombardments on the
Meuse river near the Thiaumont work
repulsed by the French troops. Sixty
Germans taken prisoner in action
south of the Somme.
British official statement reports
situation unchanged between the
Ancre and the Somme.

new ORDER OF WOW.
DELEGATES FROM HEAD CAMP
DECLARE INDEPENDENCE.
Membep Of Pacific Jurisdiction at
Denver Meeting Cancel Contract
With Sovereign Camp.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Acting upon the report of
the committee on relations to the Sow
ereign Camp. the delegates of the Pa
cific Jurisdiction, Woodmen of the
World, cancelled all relations with
the sovereign camp and established
themselves an Independent organiza.
ton, with new articles of incorpora-
tion and q new name. "Woodmen of
the World" without the designation
Pacific Jurisdiction" heretofore a
part of their official name.
Heretofore the Pacific jurisdiction
has been subordinate to thes SOW
ereign camp, and has been restricted
to the nine states forming its juris-
diction. Every year tax has been
paid to the sovereign camp. and the
Jurisdiction of the Western branch
limited in other ways. With the radi-
is formed. free from all subordination
to the larger organization. The reso-
luton. as adopted unanimously by the
delegates. is as follows:
l. That all contractual relations
now existing between the head camp
Pacific jurisdiction. Woodmen of the
World, and the sovereign camp,
Woodmen of the World. be cancelled.
2. That our articles Of incorpora-
tion and constitution be amended so
that all territorial restrictions, in re-
gard to our jurisdiction, be removed,
and that we be authorized to transact
business in any of the states and ter
ritories of the United States.
8. That the name of our associa-
tion be changed to Woodmen of the
World.
4. That we adopt a new ritual and
take such other and necessary steps
as will make our association an indie.
pendent society in every sense of the
word.
This radical step by the Pacific jur-
isdiction is the result Of careful plan
ming during three years. the officials
stated and will be effective Nov. 1.
The question of admitting women
to the order was referred to the COM
mittee on laws and will be taken up
again at the next head camp session

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 2.-Germany's
first subsea freighter, the Deutsch-
and. left her Patapsco river berth
Tuesday en- route home. Flanked by
vessels to guide, she turned her nose
toward the capes. where she may wait
further before dashing to sea.
The channel for hundred yards or
more had been dragged, lest the sub
marine come to grief from hidden
mines. The managers apparently
feared that some of the passing al
lied ships had thrown such machines
overheard. but the search showed
nothing
Owen Coleman, who piloted the
Deutschland in, also took her out, the
managers having waited for him to be
the first man out"
Capt. Koenig knows that eight war
ships of the entente allies are waiting
for him at the edge of the three-mile
limit, spread out in a radius of five
miles.
1--WE shall have to pass unseen with
in that radius in order to escape" he
said. I'VE shall have to make that
passage under conditions not entirely
advantageous to us. Were the water
at that point $50 feet deep it would
be easier. We could submerge deeply
enough to pass underneath the war
ships. But the water there is not
$50 feet deep. We shall therefore have
to pass between the war ships.'
bright. new German flag was un-
furled from the stern of the Neckar.
1t was the first time the emblem had
been shown since she interned. Then
as the Deutschland left the slip, the
Neckar hoisted signal flags meaning
in the international code, "Homeward
Bound, Good Luck!"
Capt. Koenig's last words in the har-
Dor were of praise for America and
for his treatment here by Baltimore
customs authorities. To Guy Steele,
surveyor of customs, he said:
I'VE came here dubious about our
reception. We go back certain that
the friendliest of feeling exists in
America for Germany. You have been
more than courteous and the Father
land will not forget ,it!"
