SOLDIERS WANT
TO HEAR KRIESLER

Camp Dodge, Nov. 14.-The talk OF
barring Fritz kriesler from appearing
in concert at the coliseum in Des
Moines is arousing the ire of the Off
GERS and men at Camp Dodge.
Zone of the reasons why we are
engaged in this war is to prevent mar
row Teutonism from getting q grip on
the world. An act, such as barring
an artist like Kriesler from Des
Moines, simply because he is an Aus
trian, displays bigotry more binding
than German "kultur,.. said one officer
attached to headquarters at Camp
Dodge.

Massena, Nov. 14.-Carroll. the II
year-old son Of Rhinehart vetterick,
met with a mishap while shocking
corn that for a time seriously threat
ened his life. A burr became lodged
in one Of his mittens and he attempted
to disengage It with his teeth when a
sudden respiratory movement caused
the burr to be sucked into his wind
pipe. He suffered intensely in spite
Of all medical expedients for a long
animation. The hospital doctors could
find no trace Of the offending burr
with their Instruments. Finally he was
seized with fit Of coughing and
coughed 1t out and is now feeling fine

FRANCE TURNS
TOCLEMENCEAU
FORMER "Blo STICK. PREMIER
MAY TAKE PLACE OF
PAINLEvE

Paris, Nov. 49, (Delayed)-The
Painleve ministry was defeated by q
direct vote in the chamber Of deputies
today and later resigned. This is the
first time such action has been taken
the war, as up to the present 1t has
been a point Of honor with many dep
uties not to vote against the govern
ment, but to express criticism Ivy alb.
staining from recording their votes.
Strong dissatisfaction with the gov.
ernment's handling Of the Bolo Pasha
affair IL believed to be the motive
which changed the passive discomfort
to active opposition. Two other things
thought to have had part In the
downfall of the Painleve cabinet were
the premier's statement generating
NJ. Malvy, the former minister OF the
interior, and the fiasco attending the
prosecution of L'Action Franchise,
edited by Leon Daudet, the accuser OF
NJ. NAVY.
FALL WAS EXPECTED.
The ministerial crisis comes on the
eve Of the inter-allied conference here
and every effort will be made to set
tie it quickly. President Poincare has
begun consultations with political
leaders.
The Painleve ministry goes without
many regrets, after having dragged
out Its existence for two months. Its
fall had been discounted for the past
two weeks, but the abrupt manner Of
its passing came as surprise. The
feeling Of the public and the press is
voiced fairly but bluntly by Gustave
Herve in La Victoire. He says:
1.-THE consistent enemy of minister.

occasion upon which this journal has
,rejoiced at the fall Of q cabinet. ad-
NIT that experienced the same anx-
iety that passengers on liner feel,

SITUATION Is GRAVE.
In view Of the present situation at
home and abroad the ministerial crisis
is regarded as Of exceptional gravity
All the morning newspapers agree
that what is needed imperatively is q
real leader but they say also that
President Poincare Will find it most
difficult task to hit upon such a man.

ed is that OF former Premier Clemen-
ceau 1t would be the logical step on
the part of Preside It Poincare to offer
him the premiership, inasmuch as. he
originated the campaign against Bblo-
ism in parliament and 1t was on that
issue that M. Painleve fell The
Tiger" as the former premier is
nicknamed, would undoubtedly be vel.
coined by the general public and the
army, for he is known AZ the expert Of
the big stick.
At the same time NJ. Clemenceau has
innumerable enemies, and many who
are not inimical to him believe he is
destructive rather than constructive.
In the Figaro which represents
moderate views, Alfred Capus says:
Opinion as whole certainly would
accept NJ. Clemenceau. 1t would be
an experiment not unattended by risk
but such risk would be worth taking
in view OF the present situation. The
worst thing would be a stagnation."
Former Premiers Viviani and Bar
thou. and Jules PANS, former minister
of agriculture, also are spoken Of in
connection with the premiership.

ago. Since his release by the Senators
in 1912 he has played with Atlanta,
Los Angeles and Des Moines.
Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washingtons, who attended the Louis
vile minor league meeting recently,
says that two American league man
agers-Huggins Of the Yankees and
Rowland of the White Sox-attempt-
ed to talk Of trades with him. Griff
was willing to strengthen his team, il
possible, but he says that he baked
when Higgins and Rowland tried to
hand over nothing for something.
Rowland is said to have made an Of
fer for Pitchers Dumont and Shaw,
while Higgins was after Clyde Milan
and Eddie Foster. Griff denies the re-
port that Colonel Rupert offered $780,
600 for the release Of Sir Walter
Johnson.
It would be like the old days IN
school when the captains chose up
sides, except that in those days the
first choice was determined by the
two rivals climbing a bat hand over
hand until the last man could or could
not crowd three fingers in the space
remaining at the top. The eight man
ayers would choose up sides from the
total playing strength of the league.
According to dopesters, the Giants
were the greatest marks for opposing
pitchers in the league. During the
season fifty-four of them reached first

The story of "The Scarlet Pimper-

with the reign of terror. A band OF
English noblemen, known as the fol-
lowers OF the Scarlet Pimpernel were
constantly rescuing condemned French
aristocrats. So daring has been the
work of this band that the Republican
leaders send agents to England to
learn who the Scarlet Pimpernel Is.

Keeghman Concerted to Theory Of
Comiskey That Winners Are Costly

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-President Com
iskey found the way to acquire for the
White Sox an American League pen
nant and world championship when
he spent exhorbitant sums for Eddie
Collins, Eddie Murpny. Joe Jackson
and Chick Gandil. 1t was his theory
that flag winner could not be de-
veloped out of the material that the
minors were sending up. He believed
1t was necessary that he set expert
enced players. He got them and the
results were shown last season.
For two years President Weeghman
and his associates on the Cub team
have attempted to build winner out
Of young material. They have found it
failure They have been convinced
that it cannot be done. Weeghman is
sincere in his determination to obtain
men of experience and intelligence. He
has acknowledged that it is waste of
time and money to dabble in minor
league men unless they are extraordin-
arily good He has abandoned that
system and has adopted the policy

Uncle Sam has collected thousands
of dollars from the Maryland and Ken

ell and Pimlico each handed over near
ly $4,000 to the government this year,
while the other Maryland tracks,
Havre de Grace and Bowie, each yield
ed about $4,000. The Latonia, Louis
vile and Lexington tracks in Ken
lucky had to pay a total of $4,000 in
taxes on the spring and fall meetings.
The government Melted $350,000 from
these seven race courses, at all of
which the parimutuel betting system
was in vogue. The Maryland tracks,

Major Leaguers Will
Go on War Rations

CHICAGO, Dec. 4. - Major league
baseball will be put on war basis
next year to such an extent that some
of the high-priced stars will be COM
PEELED to travel in upper berths and
sustain life on $3.50 day The rail-
roads themselves will be responsible
for the former. The owners will get
the blame for the latter. The trans
portation situation will be forced on
to baseball automatically. The war
rations will be an artificial adjunct to
the many economic measures owners
have in prospect and which will be
discussed next week.
1t has been decided by both leagues
that it will be best to make the ma
tional game appear as normal as pos
sible next season. This will provide
for regular trainig season, as we'll
as a noisy opening. If was conditions
do not rob the owners of all their ma
terial they will Undoubtedly finish the
season; that is, in the major circuits.
1t is doubtful if single minor league
will go the distance.

season the fan is earnestly praying
that the game will survive the opera
ton. So many different cures have
been recommended that the fan may
be pardoned if he shows a bit of
alarm. The idea OF shortening the
schedule has pleased some. but it has
stirred others to bowls of pain and
rage, especially the players. The
players for the most part may be
pleased enough if they are playing
any schedule at all next summer.
Anyone with suggestions for the
handling of baseball next year might
do well to impart them to baseball
expert or magnate IL there is such
among his acquaintance. Very likely
his suggestions will be of small value,
but many of those now under consid-
Grafton are little better. Whatever
happens to the game between now and
spring we hope it gets started again
somehow next summer.
