NATIONALS FINISH SIXTH
American League Official Averages
Explains Locals Poor Showing
f in Pennant Race.

The official fielding averages of the
American League. as given out today by
President johnson, show the Washington
club in sixth place, which probably ac-
counts for the Griffmen being so low
down in the 1916 pennant race. In past
seasons the Nationals fielded unusually
brilliantly. and as a result stood UP near
the top. although hitting weakly. But two
teams finished below the Nationals in
felding-St. Louis and Philadelphia.
Mullin of the Yankees. leads the first
basemen. although Gandil Is entitled to
the position on account of the greater
number of games played. Joe Judge I'm
ished in ninth place. but beat Sisler out
by one point
The second-base lead is assigned to
Turner of Cleveland, but Eddie Collins
should have it. as he played in 155 games,
while Terry was in only forty-two. Ed
die Foster is ninth.

NATCHEZ, Miss, March 4.--The sit

Concordia Parish, La, was steadily be-
coming more serious, but there was
great Improvement in conditions in
Tensas, according to reports received
here today. Water from the Buck
Ridge crevasse and from the Black and
Red rivers was reported rising rapidly
over Concordia.
Deer Park sent word that the negroes
near there still needed assistance anu
were unable to leave the levees and
gins where they had taken refuge from
the flood. In the Black river section
the inundation was said to be ten inches
more than during the 913 overflow and
rising several inches daily. mes
sage received today from Monterey,
sixteen miles below Jonesville. reiter-
ated that towns appeal for government
aid. Wire communication with the sec
ton around Monterey has been cut off
and the only means of communication
is by boat.
The flood waters were said to oe
falling from Newellton south to Water
proof and many negroes who took re-
fuge in gins and on the levees have re-
turned to the plantations. Reports
stated if the water continued falling
the land in the upper Tensas section
would be drained within 2 week In
sections where the water has run off
oats and other early crops are said 20
.be not seriously damaged, but many
fences, houses and bridges have been
washed away and roads were in bad
condition. 1t was believed no further
outside aid would be needed in that

TWr~Gps Necessary
As Shells, British
Farmers Are Told
CBe Associated Press.

LONDON, March 5.-Farmers had to
show that turnips were just as impor-
tant as shells, said the Earle of Sell
borne, president of the board OF agri-
culture, in addressing a meeting at
Northampton today. He urged the farm
ers to strain every nerve to produce ev-
cry possible ounce of food and fodder
and to release every possible man for
the army. -.- ..
Unless they did this, he said, they
were serving, not King George, but En-
peror William. Farmers were doing
well, he argued and could afford to pay
good wages to women. He appealed to
the patriotism of the farm laborers'
unions to put no hindrance in the way
of replacement of men by women in ag-
ricultural work.

RURAL CREDITS MEASURE
IS OUTLINED BY FLETCHER
Declares Passage Would Fur

nancing the Farm

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Senator
Fletcher. of Florida, chairman OF the
Joint committee of congress Whloh
framed the administration rural creolts
bill made a speech i'm the senate To-Day
outlining the provisions of the measure
and declaring its passage would iur-
uish a sound basis for financing the
farm. and bring real, to take the place
of fancied, independence TO the FARMER
The senator defended the constitution
ality of the rural credits measure, citing
numerous decisions in support of his po-
sition He referred to recent statements
by Comptroller Williams regarding hiEh
interest rates charged in many states
and presented a letter from the tlorlda
commissioner of agriculture estimating
that loans to farmers in that state cost
the borrowers, including attendant eA-
penses, an average of IL per cent.
The federal reserve act, Senator
Fletcher said, was so drawn that II
every national banking association in the
country loaned up to the maximum per-
mitted on farm land the total would not
exceed S45O, 600, 900, whereas outstanding
farm mortgages amount to more than

Before we can have good agricul-
ture." continued Senator Fletcher tine
grin of the factor, the merchant ana the
banker. the inevitable outcome of our
past financial system, on the credit OF
the farmers must be loosened. This
present control of credit interferes with,
IN it does not make impossible, wise di-
versification of crops and the consefVa-
ton of the soil.

some and inadequate system OF hnance
and land development and a total lack

distribution, such as now obtain, we VIII
not need a colossal and CHASTITY disaster
such as Europe is experiencing to prlns
about our extinction.
"The bill will bring real, to take the
Mace of fancied, independence to the
farmer. 1t will enable him to increase
the productive capacity of his farm; to
cooperate with other producers TO CO
ordinate supply with demand; to estao-
lisb a voice in determining the market
price of his products. 1t will make

SENATE ARMY BILL
GOES EVEN FURTHER
THAN WILSON ASKED
First Defense Measure TO
Reach Congress Was Intro
duCed in Senate Saturday
by Military Committee

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The first
of the national preparedness measures
TO reach either house of congress for
consideration was introduced in the SEN
ate today by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the military committee
which perfected it after weeks of hear
ings and conferences Ii proposes an
even more sweeping change i'm military
policy than that outlined by President
Wilson i'm his annual message, and was
described by Mr.. Chamberlain as the
most comprehensive piece of military
legislation ever offered in congress.
All of the elements of the adminls-
tratiOn's army plan prepared by former
Secretary Garrison are retained, al
though in altered form, and by addi-
tiOnal proposals for organization of in
dustrial reserves in peace times it goes
even further than the administration
had suggested.
The house committees bill will be
introduced Monday. There is no vital
difference between the two measures
and members of both committees believe
that when the final bill, which viii be
agreed upon in joint conference COM
mittee, has passed both houses, the
president will be able to fix his sigma
ture to a measure that will do more
than he has asked toward building up
an adequate national de1ense.
FEATURES OF BILL.
Aside from it's plan virtually to dou-
BILE the regular army and national
guard. the senate bill has four striking
features. They are:
Authorization of a purely federal vol
unteer force in peace times, the OBJ
iect sought by Secretary Garrison IN
urging the continental army plan
Authorization for a definitely enlist
ed reserve in peace times among men
of every profession or calling whose
training fits them for special duty either
with troops. on lines Of communication
or supply. or in machine shops and hu-
nitions plants -, .,,.,,
under a pay provision designed 70 Drlhs
t,is force Immediately into such rela-
lions with the federal government that
IFS training equipment and personnel
will he under supervision of the war de-
partment.
Authorization for an officers reserve
and a reserve officers training corps,
which would take in graduates from mill
itarv schools and colleges and provide
for their further development to COM
mand.
For the regular army the bill provides
a peace strength within five years of
$4,000 men of all arms, or approx
mately ,OOO lighting troops. THE per-
centage of men in each company, battery
or troop at peace strength would be in
creased in the interests of efficiency and
the full war strength would be 225,0O0.
The army would consist Of 65 infantry,
25 cavalry and 81 field artillery regi-
ments. in addition to the stan and other
