Boston, March 14.-The same sterling pitching staff, the same energetic in field, and the same snappy. punchy out field probably will be seen in action for the Braves again this year.
 There are certain to be a few changes, but for the most part the Braves will be just as they finished year ago. Such a solidity of purpose, bulwark of de- fense and an angle of attack have been developed that to tear away part of the machine would be to damage it badly in the opinion. of George Stallings. He made game fight year ago and he figures he will be able to deliver the same punch again this year.
 The catching staff again will depend upon Hank Gowdy, the backstop who played with such amazing skill during the worlds series of 1915. He will have as assistants Blackburn, good young ster, and Tragresser. Ricco will be given a tryout, but Is not expected to horn in ahead of the others.
 Stallngs remarked short time ago that he has heard from Bill James and that the pitching star believes he can get his arm into shape for a season this summer. James was usless in the last

DON'T BE A NATIONAL scAB

A national scab is one who reaps the

citizen of country that has grown
flabby with prosperity, that has 80

that have been spilled to secure to it

wonder if our boys nowadays know who

it is not an easy thing to die for ones

it must be dreadful to 60 through shell

rible than the thought that one is a
national scab, reaping the benefit Of

safety behind the scattered fragments

turning the right cheek for the mailed

NEWE AND VIEWS
FROM GERMANY
(By Frederick William Vile Of the
Vigilantes)

London, July Alt is devoutly to
be hoped that people in the United
States have not taken the Berlin "po-
litical crisis" too seriously. People
hereabouts, whose wish is father to the
thought, are prone to jump at conclu-
sions every time democratic head
dares show itself in Germany, or when
ever ono of the Liberal, Radical or So
cialist groups takes its courage in both
hands and thinks out loud more brave
Iy than usual. As I write Berlin ad-
vices indicate that there is to be . cab.
met shake up in both the imperial and
Prussian branches Of the government;
that DR.. Helferich is to be dismissed
as imperial minister Of the interior;
that Herr Zimmerman, foreign secre-
tary, who made himself notorious over
the Mexican.Japanese alliance against
the United States, is to be pitched
overheard, and that four or five mem
bers Of the reichstag are to be given
ministerial jobs of one sort or another.

inglessness Of these sops to "Democ-
racyo by William of Divine Right any

BIRDS HELP FARMERS
DEFEAT GERMANY

Food is needed for our armies. Birds
help farmers produce that food by de-
stroying insect pests. Therefore birds
may be considered as one of the allies.
Birds are almost as busy as bees, and
their work in increasing crop yields is
highly important. One Of the cheapest
and most effective ways to fight insect
pests that annually take crop toll esti-
mated at 100000, 900 is to aid in the
preservation Of bird life. Few people
realize how many insects are destroyed
