In explanation of the possibility that
Jennings may land in New York, gos-
sips have it that the sorrel-topped lead
er has tired of his task in Detroit and
is anxious to try his luck somewhere
else-with no objection to New York
being the place. The dopesters, to fix
everything nicely in this event, would
shift Fielder Jones to Detroit and
place Higgins in charge of the Browns
In st. Louis. Higgins is credited with
having baked at any change that
would keep him in St. Louis. however.
80 the rumor makers probably viii have
to rearrange their dope in this respect.
The mention of Robinson 5 name as
pilot for the Yankee arises from the
report that he has some kind OF pri-
vats understanding with Capt. Huston;
with whom he has been close friend
for q long time. 1t is said that In case
Robinson does leave Brooklyn Col. Eo-
bets will be sure to appoint JACK
Coombs to succeed him.
The reason for the persistence OF re-
ports that Donovan is slated to lose
hik official head as Yankee field leader
is due to the lack of success he has mad
with the team, rather than because ne
is regarded as incompetent. II his abil-
fly is judged solely by results he is not
q manager of major league caliber. but
impartial observers maintain he has
done as well as could be expected with
the material he had.
The Yankees spent a lot of money
for Lee Magee and Frank Baker. Their
acquisition was expected TO make the
team a contender in 1915 and possibly
q pennant winner this year But the
club had a most unusual run of hard
luck in the matter of injuries to play
ers, one after another being lost to the
team, and. to top 1t of. Magee coll
iapsed utterly, and both Baker and
Pipp failed to play up to the standard
expected of them. None of these things
could have been foreseen by Donovan.
and ne assuredly is not to be blamed
for them. But the American League
must have winner in New York. None
has been produced under the regime
of Donovan, therefore Wild William Is

ity as a manager. however in point of
personal popularity there is no helms

magnates and fans alike. and If he

Simpson was the star of Westerns
backheld. The little fellow did not look
big enough to "cut up much on a
gridiron. but the merit of his perform
ance yesterday is unquestioned. Fast.
and aided by good interference. he
proved the big ground gamer for his
team. Mike Raedy was almost the whole
eleven for Business. He made practi-
cally all the gains on the offensive and
contributed in no small way to the de-
Tense.
Westerns victory was expected, but
nobody thought 1t would win by as big
a score as it did. Had the Red and
White not won by a touchdown or two
it would not have lived up to what was
looked for of it. but that it should cap
ture the opening of the school series
by such a big margin from one OF the
schools having better material gem
orally shows it to be worthy of much
more than ordinary commentator.
1t is not amiss to say somthng of the
excellent work done by Coach Morse.
He has consistently turned out good
teams at Western with about one
fourth the number of boys to pick from
that are in Tech, Central and Business.
Last fall his team played as good foot
ball as any in the series, notwithstand-
ing that it did not win the title. This
fall it probably will repeat the per-
formance. Certainly it will if yester-
days work is to be taken as criterion
of what will be accomplished in the
future.

Innsmuch ms 1t seems that every

must be tapped, in order to make

lastic athletics should play their
part in giving aid. The hundreds
of boys engaged in athletics In
the District OF Columbia un-
doubtedly could MD in buying

thing for them to do SO. Here at

subscribed to tho first loan. and
1t also will to the second. A spe-
cial game arranged for that pur-
pose or specific contributions or
collections by the athletes in each
school would be feasible. I know
that every schOolboy athlete in

Wooden NaiIS-New Washington Industry

The war has brought to light an un-
usual industry in Columbia county,
Wash, where locust trees are being
cut and manufactured into wooden
nails used in the instruction of ships
for the government. One contractor
has orders for more than 100000 of
these nails which vary in length from
few inches up to two and onehalf
feet. Locust trees are said to make
nail superior even to oak. The de-
mand for the timber is shown by the
fact that this contractor pays $40 a
cord for the trees as they stand. He
cuts the trees himself and leaves all
parts OF the wood not suitable for nails
for the owner of the grove. The timber
il cut into square bolts and shipped to
Portland for turning into sizes desired.

us government institutions. On the
American committee are men promi-
nent in many phases of national life,
who will see that the French students
who come to this country have every
opportunity to learn the best of the
United States.
John MCGEE has offered to place two
boys In the coal industry and two In
railroad offices; Professor Henry Fair
child Osborn will see that two fitted to
study natural science have their chance;
Clarence Mackay will see that two
more learn the organization of the
transatlantic cable system and that one
studies In a university; two more will
be cared for by engineering societies
and two by New York daily newspa-
per While the boys are in this coun-
try they are expected to be self sup
porting. Their guarantors will see that
they have proper facilities for study
and make themselves responsible for
their personal welfare.
Now number of French boys are
on probation in the Lafayette chateau,
and from these and scores of other ap-
plicants the first years quota will be
chosen. During the first year or two
few older boys of fourteen and fifteen
are taken, so that some of them will be
fitted to come to this country in two or
three years.

from every one" said Mrs. Chanler
Our list of French patrons includes
most of the members Of the French
cabinet. Where we have needed ma
terials at once the government has req

Claim Noise Develops Hearing

That the country youth is not able
to hear so we'll as his city brother, and
that only about one in five OF the
former possess the auricular acuteness
of the city-bred lad is the opinion OF
Marine Corps recruiting in this city.
Their deductions are based on the
number of country boys rejected for
poor hearing.
Many persons believe that the con-
tinual jarring noises Of the city have a
tendency to dull the sensitiveness OF
the nerve centres. However this is
not borne out by the figures Of the
Marine Corps officers, who believe that
the quiet life Of the country, free from
noises, has a tendency to weaken,
through disuse, the responsive nerves
in the ear.
Scientists point to innumerable
parallels in nature where the disuse of
an organ gradually reduces its function
ing power or eliminates it altogether.
The blind fishes in the dark pools of
Mommoth cave are notable example.

WE MUST FIGHT GERMANY
WHILE WE HAVE HELP
If Germany Whips the Allies, as She Will
Without Our Help, We Must Fight
Her Without Their Help
Afterwards

The assertion that this is England's
war or frances war or Russia's war is
not heard abroad in the land as
frequently as it was few month ago,
but it has not entirely disappeared. A
most estimable gentleman, a member
Of the National Security League and a
thorough believer in its tenets Of pre-
paredness for the defense of America,
wrote the League the other day that he
could not support the sending of our
boys abroad to fight 10 the trenches Of
France This is foreign war;" said
he. The Germans are not threaten
ing US and where will we be if we send
all our soldiers abroad?"
The answer to this is, Where
would we be if the English feet did
not stand between US and the German
armies?" The man who believes in
the defense of his country and his
HOME, who opposes the sending of
American troops to support our allies
weakened battle-lines, thereby says
that he would rather fight the Ger
mans on American soil. We fight in
Europe to prevent our having to fight
on our own thresholds. We prefer to
go out into the street to shoot the mad
dog rather than wait until he is mang-
ling our children in the nursery on the
second floor.
The question that was behind the
entrance of this country into the war,
and which President Wilson answered
with the only reply possible outside of
madness and poltroonery, was whether
we would fight Germany with allies or
without allies. 1t is clear now that
Germany's conduct toward this country
early in the war had behind it the de-
finite purpose of keeping US out of the
war until Russia and France and Eng
land could be worn down and she
would be enabled to give America her
undivided attention. Even today,
Germany is trying to offend US as little
as she can. She has never officially
recognized our declaration of war. She
regrets our being "hoodwinked' by
England.
The slow awakening of the people
of America to the real meanings of the
war is Germany's greatest ally at the
present time. We must WAKE UP!
Every man in this country must get it
firmly fixed in his mind that he must
FIGHT, and that he must fight

The frequency OF the issues and other
questions relative to these publications
have not been decided, but it is ex-

tain general military news such as is
printed in the official bulletin at Wash
ington, D. c., and also items of inter
est concerning the officers and en-
listed men OF the camps where they
are respectively published. There are
persons now in Washington seeking
the privilege OF issuing and controlling
the publications at all sixteen Of the

ded whether these shall be govern
ment subsidized publications or wheth-
er the publication privilege will be let

Proposed to Increase Force by
1900 Men.
HUNDREDS ALREADY ADDED.

Secretary Daniels Recommendation
For s7,5oo,ooo contemplates Building
and Machinery, and Large Number of
Experts 10 Expected to Be Called For
II Money 10 Granted.
Washington.-This city's greatly aug
mented number of government en-
ployees since the beginning of war
preparations is to be still further add
ed to should congress grant an appro-
priation for S7,500,OO0 asked for by
Secretary Daniels to increase the ca
paclty of the naval gun factory at the
Washington navy yard. While the i'm
mediate need of this appropriation is
for buildings and machinery, the nee
essary men to operate the machines
will be required in due time, and 1t is
estimated that from 1000 to 1000 ex-
pert machinists will be added to the
present force.
To date more than 500 men have been
added to the force at the Washington
navy yard since the United States de-
clared a state of war to exist between
this country and Germany, and Secre-
tary Daniels request for a larger gun
factory means that a much larger force
Of men will be needed here
Guns, mounts, torpedoes mines, tele
scopes, sights, optical instruments and
miscellaneous ordnance supplies are to
be made at this gun factory In large
numbers
The proposed work includes the con-
struction of a six story machine shop
for mines, mounts and torpedoes, five
story pattern and wood working shop,
an extension to the power plant, a new
brass foundry, an extension of the
steel forging plant, an optical shop,
range finding towers, administration
buildings, quarters for enlisted person
mel under instruction and the extension
of the yard service system to supply
adequately these new structures. Build
ings are estimated to cost $5,000000
and equipment needed will amount to
$2,500,O00..
Daniels Discusses Plan.
Discussing his recommendation for
the appropriation, Secretary Daniels
said:
THE naval gun factory, possessing
as it does a complete organization and
a large working force, is readily adapt
ed to increasing It's facilities for deliv
cry of guns, mounts and other NUM-
tons To develop any other source Is
not only expensive, but involves mat
ter Of long delay, 1t is therefore con.
sidered to the best interests of the gov
eminent to increase at once the capac
ity Of the Washington navy yard"
