CObb-Herzog Row Causes
Giants and Tiger Split

DETROIT, Mich. Dec. 22-The
failure OF the Detroit Americans TO
share the spring training trip with the
New York Nationals next year is said
to be due to the open break between
Iy COBB and Charles Herzog in a
Dallas hotel last spring, at which the
Detrot outfielder and the Giant In
fielder clashed In fisticuff en
counter. II Is understood here thai
no definite arrangements have been
made relative TO the spring training
trip for the Tigers in 1913.

PENSION MATTER
PUT OFF TO 1918
Boards for Police and Fire Depart
ments viii Not Be Chosen
Until Next April.
GOOD REASONS FOR THE DELAY
Time for Election Set by Law and
Appropriations for This Fiscal
Year Are Fixed.

On recommendation by City Attor-
ney John K. Scott. the city commits
sion will not adopt the policemen's
and ffremen's pensions until next
April. This was decided upon at the
regular meeting OF the council yes
terday afternoon.
This matter was put off until next
year Tor two reasons. The law pro-
vides that the boards for these two
departments shall not be chosen until
the next regular election. which falls
in April. The second reason is that
the appropriations for the various de-
partments for the present fiscal year
have already been fixed, and q read
justment would entail much unneces-
sary expense and trouble.
A benefit fund for the city tiremen
is now being accumulated by special
taxation The pension board for the
firemen. when appointed, will consist
Of the mayor, the city clerk. the city
treasurer, the fire chief, three active
members Of the department and one
retired member The four last men
toned members of the board will be
elected in April by members OF the
fire department, the Australian ballot
system to be used The votes will be
polled at the central fire station. The
police board will consist OF two mem
bars to be named by the mayor and'
a third member to be elected by the
policemen. The policemen will ballot
at the police station.
The appointment of Miss Bessie
Borst as third assistant city clerk by
Commissioner NJ. T. Rudgren was con-
firmed by the council. Commissioner

DR.. Mary Mills Patrick

DR.. Mary Mills Patrick, president
of the American College for Girls at
Constantinople for more than quar-
ter of a century, was born in Canter-
bury, N. H, sixty-seven years ago to-
day, March 10, 1850. She was edu-
Gated at Lyons College, Iowa, the
State University of Iowa, and the
universities of Heidelberg, Zurich,
Leipzig, Berlin and Berne. She as
sumed the presidency of the college
for girls in the Turkish capital in
1890. This institution is the only one
for the higher education of woman
in the near East, and the majority of
its students are .Armenians, Bulgar-
ians, Greeks and Serbs. Five new
buildings, costing s750.000, were dedi-
Gated on the European slope of the
Bosphorus shortly before the begin
ming of the war. Despite the bftter
racial feeling stirred up by the war
the college has continued it's work.
DR.. Patrick returned to America for
visit last November, and reported IT,
college in a flourishing condition.
While many Armenian families had
been deported from Constantinople
she said, their daughters who were
students in the college were permit
ted to remain DR.. Patrick has trans
lated several text books into the
Armenian language, and is also the
author of many articles dealing with
the education of women in Turkey
and other parts of Europe.

JUDGMENT OF NEY.

The trial of Marshal Ney was closed
on the 9Th and he was shot on the
7th Of December. At the close of the
trial the marshal observed:
Gent1emen-I am Frenchman and
will die as one. They have not been
willing to hear my defenders. l
thank them for what they have done
for me, and what they may still do;
but prefer not being defended at all.
To be imperfectly defended, will do
as Moreau did, appeal to Europe and
posterity.
M. BeIlart spoke to prevent further
delays.
The Chancellor - Defenders, you
may use every argument except such
as the chamber interdicted.
The Marshal-"Since the chamber
will not hear ones moyens) I forbid
my advocates to add anything; the
chamber will judge me as they think
proper"
The final requisition was then read.
The president addressing the &C
cused: Accused, have you any OBJ
servations to make on the requisi-
tion?''
The Misunderstanding at all, my
Lord
The witness ordered the accused to
retire, as well as the witnesses and
the auditor.
From o'clock tn chamber re-
manned in deliberation upon the judg-
ment and at quarter before twelve
they decided by majority that Marshal
Ney was guilty of high treason against
the state; 1s1 voices condemned him
to death and 20 voted for his Danish
ment. The Marshal was not present
at the time the verdict was delivered.

similar step, and says that President
Wilson "openly declares that Ameri-
cas- direct participation in the strug-
gle is possible" y

to '(retain) peace with the United
States,'' says the editorial, "reach.

our right to live and to a victorious
conduct of the war for existence,
which is forced upon us, are jeopar-
died.
''No American vital interest forces
the President to an act of war. The
traditional American principles would
demand that America leave the people
of Europe to fight out the fearful
struggle among themselves, and fair
dealing would dictate that she should
not take sides against a nation strug-
Cling for existence, and which since
the time of Frederick the Great has
proved nothing but friendship for
America
The newspaper says that it was a
natural forethought for Germany to
look around in search Of new allies
against possible enemy. An alliance
with Mexico had been planned only in
case the American government declar-
ed war against Germany.
Even today" says the newspaper,
eve still wish to avoid war with the
United States. If America shares this
wish then Mexico's knowledge of our,
offer shall be limited to what ,Presl-
dent Wilson's government itself has
published aboud it. Which way the
dice shall be cast depends upon the
President. He alone before history
has to bear the responsibility of his
own country. which up to now still
enjoys the blessings of peace, and
which ought to thank heaven as much
as possible for this, now that we are,
involved in the horrors of sanguin-
airy war without any cogent. necessity.
"As President Wilson now holds in
his hands the lives of American citi-
zensA who disregard our warnings
against the danger zone at sea, htus
he also holds in his hands the fate of
many thousands upon whom further
extension of the war would bring de-
struction, sorrow, and death. No mat

he chooses war or peace. he shall not
make us deviate one hair-breadth
