The political influence of Americ

The political influence of America has arisen with duration of the war. Its growth lays the heaviest responsi- bility on those European states which caused the war.
 [ we must have the right to live and to be of some account, We feel our selves united with America by ties of blood and we hope the American peo- pie will give us justice.
 At the present moment America can perhaps render the world the greatest service by keeping out of reach of the flames of war.
 Common dangers and successes bind us to our allies Cooperation in peace must follow eomradeship in war;

1eaton and Doolan
 Won't Be Much Use
 To Cubs This Season

If Joe Tinker's mixture of veteran Cubs and graduates from the Federal league are to cut much of a caper in the National league this year they must do far better work than they with the Phfl1ies this spring, writes William G. Weart in the Philade1phia Evening Telegram. g
 If Seafon is again the star that he was when he was with the Phillies he will have to get the kinks ironed out of his right arm Seaton had a jerky motion, as though he could not get a full sweep to his arm, and depended almost entirely on curve balls.
 As Quaker, Seaton was noted for his speed. and his fast ball was deadly to batsmen. Hot weather and hard work may bring Seaton around. but it is not likely that he will again prove such a awonder asshe was in 1912. when 1aa and Alexander nearly t5virIed the Phf11ies to a pennant.
 Mike Doolan looked bad It is evil dent that Father Time is getting ready 10 count out this one-tine y fielding marvel When in training camps with the PhilIies during the days that Doo- Ian was a member of the Quakers I never heard of Mike complaining of sore arm.
 1t Is apparent that Manager Tinker will have to do a lot of experimenting with the Cubs which is likely to cost his team a. lot of lost ground early in the race.
