they could take 10000 trained

here and whip the whole United
States, and to add insult to injury
they told me further that if they
did come over here, that there
were millions of Germans who
would come to meet them. 1t is
a wonder that they did not put
me in Jail for life, after what |
told them when they talked that

bet every German in America

everyone of us would have gun

What Our Boys Will See on the
Front "Somewhere In France

British Headquarters in France,
(Stalt correspondent of the ASso-
Ciated Press. The arrival of the
first contigents of the American
army in France serve to recall
the fact that the United States is
entering a war already old and
wise wise with the dearly
bought wisdom of three long ad-
venturous years and stepped in
all the diaboliCal wickedness that
inCeSSant delvin9 into the devil
tries of destruction can bring to
it.
Having escaped the first ter
rorS of weapons which German
science had evolved through toll
ing years of military preparation,
the American divisions will nev-
ertheleSS plunge eventually into
a Seethine caldron which has
grown from the unavoidable pol
icy of fighting the devil with
fire" They will have quickly
not only to learn to take the aw-
full German fri9htfulness with
calm endurance, but to return it
with an ever increasing measure.
In doing this, many nerve testing
and soul searching experiences
undoubtedly lie before them, but
there are already thousands of
young Americans in the Cana
dian and British ranks who have
proved themselves traditionally
worthy of the scorchin2 flames
of modern war.
The American forces are fortu-
nate to be able to base their edu.
cation upon the bitter lessons
learned by the French and British
soldiers in all the eventful days
that have followed the first rush
of battle in 1914. MarvelouSly
complete books of instruction
have been builded upon those ex.
periences, and out of these the
American soldiers will CLEAN the
last word knowledge that will fit
them for the foremost trenches
First of all, when they take
their place, will come the baptism
of fire from the noisy, black, high
explosive German shells that
scream in from afar and burst
with terrifying reports, some
times in most unexpected places
The Germans are great believers
both in noise and high explosive
They even mix their adored HE
with teeir shrapnel shells, which
break high in the air and senC
their bullets showerine dowr
with the whine of an angry win
ter wind. The Americans soor
will learn to distinguish the indi
vidual songs of the various shells

A HOME FOR SLAVES
johnson Would Give Ball Players
Charity Instead of just Dues.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-A home for
aged and disabled baseball players,
supported jointly by the teams of the
American and National leagues is the
movement that is being inaugurated
by President Ban Johnson.
The American league dictator today
discussed the plan and stated that he
would take it up Immediately with
the clubs in his league, to see if a
scheme, whereby each club would set
aside a certain sum each season, to
be used for the support of the insti-
tuition, could be worked out.
The old home idea is the outcome
of the yearly recurring discussion as
to what to do with the immense sums
that are piling up as result of each
worlds series. Johnson is determined
to cut down the amount that goes to
the players and commission and even
the amount that is turned into the
major league chests. The latter is an
assessment on the net earnings and
goes to pay salaries and expenses of
league employees.

AFTER A REPEATER
WiIbert Robinson Wants to Win
Another Pennant.
He's Not Satisfied With What
Dodgers Did Last Season.
BY JACK VEOCK.

New York, Jan. 20.-Your Uncle
Wilbert Robinson is casting longing
orbs toward another National league
championship.
Ever since the season of 1916 came
to a close and the worlds series re-
suited so disastrously for the Robins
Uncle Wilbert has been dreaming and
planning.
Baseball scribes and baseball mag
mates have limited from time to time
that the Robins were lucky to grab
the 1915 flag. And when it is re-
membered that the Phillies and
Braves, not to mention the Giants,
were doing some tall ball playing as
the race neared a close, the victory
of the Robins does appear to have
been helped along by timely breaks"
The break in the winning streak of
the Giants was one of these.
Robby Not Satisfied.
Nevertheless, the Robins COPIED,
and all credit for their victory should
be given them. Yet Uncle Wilbert is
not satisfied. He wants to prove to
the baseball public at large that he
can pull the same stunt again. Thus
he is figuring on new stunts for the
coming season, and the new plan will
consist largely of some shifts in his
battle array.
You may guffaw, Mr.. Fan, when
Uncle Wilbert announces that he may
play Fred Merk1e at shortstop TINS
year. But wait,
In Jake Daubert Uncle Wilbert has
a very capable first sacker. He need
not worry about the initial corner as
long as Jake's UNDERMINING does not
go back on him, as it did for a time
last season. He also has Merkle. If
Jake hits the skids he can pin Merkle
nd rot nv RIIt
that isn't what worries Robinson
Must Have Shortstop.
He admits that the Dodgers must
have the shortstop position strongly
fortified if they hope to be in the
running for Governor Teners silk
banner this year. Last season Ivan
Olson did the big end of the short
did not cover the ground with the
agility necessary to big league
shortstop. He was erratic, and often
in the tightest of pinches.
To find a short fielder who can
handle the position satisfa ctorily is
the task Robinson has assigned to
himself. 1t is some task, particularly
when we remember that there are so
few shortstops available for the man
ayers who need them.
Robby has the youngster Fabrique.
who is said to have the makings of
a major league Stdr. LII the 1Htelnd-
tional league Fabrique was bear In
the National league he may prove to
need considerable seasoning. So I'm
Gle Wilbert has decided to try Merkle
at short, and he believes he can make
a star out of the erstwhile Giant.
Give Merkle Chance.
Merk1e has often expressed the de-
sire to play short. He has always be-
lieved that if given the proper chance
he could make good at short, and
Charley Mathewson has the same
opinion. Matty says Merkle can play
a mighty sweet game of ball at sec
ond. Then, why not at short? At
least. Robby says he is going to find
out.

under the auspices of the Leaven-
worth county farm bureau and the
agricultural college, is only two years

and greater variety than auy other
club in the United States. More than
1900 quarts of fruits, vegetables
in 1915, and one of its teams canned
253 different varieties and combina-
tons.
This club has won great distinc-
tion,' said E. C. Johnson, director of
the extension service of the agricul-
tural college, mot only by reason of
the great quantity and variety of
products canned and the general ex-
cellence of its work, but on account
of its influence in promoting neigh
borliness and building up the com
munity in which the club is located.

standpoint and the inspiration it has
furnished to other communities to do
likewise"
The president of the club, Mrs. J.
M. Timmons of Bonner Springs. will

club and it's work Thursday afternoon
February 8, followed by a canning

STEEL TO REPLACE WOOD
SHAFTS IN GOLF CLUBS

Wheaton. ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The
dearth of suitable hickory shafts
for golf clubs has brought up the
question of steel shafts among golf
ers in this section. 1t is said that
the steel clubs undoubtedly will
give greater distance with less ef-
fort than those with wooden shafts,
but it is expensive to use them, for
the wooden heads split easily when
attached to a steel shaft.
Professionals assert that clubs
with steel shafts pick a ball out
of the heavy lies much more clean
" than those with the wooden
shafts and also give greater dis
lance Lately a steel shaft made
on the principle of the girder has
found favor and gives greater ball
ance, at the same time proving a
rest to the wrists.
