little 10 say regarding the new
form of contract. except that the
national commission is satisfied that
it will be acceptable TO the club
owners of both big leagues.
There will be a reserve clause in
the new contracts as well as there
was in the old ones.
With regard to the squawk made
by the players fraternity, which is
demanding that players be given
contracts which call for salary TO
continue when injured in the service
of the club. Pres't Tener said:
Il have heard of only two cases
in the major leagues where con-
tracts giving the club owner the
right TO stop a players salary when
he became injured were in vogue,
and / fully believe that these con-
tracts got out through some mis-
take"
Asked regarding the chance Of
the National leaguers taking up

JAMES MURRAY TELLS
OF TRIP TO BRITAIN
Former Grand Forks Man Says He
Was Under Police Surveillance
All the Time He Was There.

James Murray. linotype operator at
The Herald plant for number of
years, arrived here last evening en-
route home to Salem, Ore, from Bel
fast. Ireland.
Recently Mr.. Murray inherited a
portion of large Irish estate and
went to that country to aid in wind

vOlved. leaving this country about the
middle of January.
Returning to the United States, he
arrived at New York on February Is

very little that brings war before you.

these French babies would be dying

Belgian Cattle Taken.
Belgium had 100000 cattle. We
know that practically half of these
have gone to Germany.
"These facts throw q curious light
indeed on German solicitude for the
lives of the infants in the territories
they have occupied. How many cattle
are there in Germany? I am in
formed through sources of uninn-.
peachable veracity and expert knowl-
edge. that the Germans have been
most Jealous in the maintenance of
their original capital of cattle to such
an extent that probably less. rather
slaughtered during the war than in
normal times. A pamphlet issued in
May by the citizens committee for
food shipments states without giving
figures that Germany imported some
condensed milk in normal years. II
this supply which ! admit may be
necessary for limited number of
excess Of cows from Belgium and
northern France could have been used
to supply the deficiency, but the very
fact that the stolen cattle were slaugh-
tered in greater part shows that the
Germans had no fear Of any such
shortage.
Children Healthy.
IF the deficiency in imported milk
has not been made up, 1t is not our
fault. AS matter Of fact, Germany
confesses that 1t has been made up.
The Cologne Gazette Of January 4,
states that an investigation Of the
health of $500 school children in
Goettingen shows their health per-
haps to be even better- than in peace
times. Germany is touched on all
sides by the greatest milk producing
countries in Europe, and it is idle to
contend that she is not still getting
supplies from these sources. In fact,
we know that Switzerland is sending
milk to Germany.

age has been met by the slaughter of
bulls, leaving a larger proportion of
fodder to supply cows, and, moreover.
Germany has reaped vast crops of
cereals. Tho resultant fodder, added
to what she removed from Belgium
and northern France and other occu-
pied territories. must have gone far
to compensate for any deficiency due
to our blockade. To this may be ad-
ded the fact that Germany sent enor-
nous herds of cattle to be actually
pastured in northern France and the
German chancellor has promised the
reichstag to take the same action In

German was bound over to the dis
