America in a war to the bitter end.
Even newspapers friendly to the al
lies see in Colonel Judson's reported

the Rolsheviki rule" and that France
and England will be left to carry or

MAJOR CLUB OWNERS
Baseball Magnates Will Con
fer in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. Club owners OF the
National and American leagues will
meet here In joint session on Decem-
Der IS to adopt a policy to pursue in
connection with the war; This an
nouncement was made tonight by Au-
gust Hermann. president Of the Gin
cinnati Nationals and chairman of the
National Baseball commission, after II
conference with President Johnson of
the American league.
Smashing the player limit to IS men,
devising plan to collect the federal
war tax, limiting the training season
to two or possibly three weeks. and the
POSSIBLE shortening Of the schedules
will be among the important questions
for the consideration Of the IS club
owners.
Collecting the 10 per cent war tax
which the baseball public will be
obliged to pay is one of the big prob
lens confronting the two leagues.
MIR. Hermann said that he would
recommend player limit of Is men.
but that he would oppose 40-game

ULTERIOR MOTIVE

BOlsheviki Foreign Minister
Thinks America Seeks
Friendship.

Pctrograd, Dec. 4.-Leon TrotZky.
the Bolsheviki foreign minister. has
taken the recent note sent by Lieuten-
ant Colonel William V. Judson. chief
of the American military mission to
Russia. to the chief of the staff at
Petrograd. as an effort to cultivate
friendly relations with the BolsheViki
government
The note in which the American Of
ficer said he saw no reason why the
relations of the allies to Russia or to
any influential part of its population
should not rest on the most friendly
basis is also commented upon favor
ably by Trotzky in Maxim Gorky's
newspaper.
The friendly relations which Trotzky
assumes the note was attempting to
promote. would constitute "a splendid
measure. meeting the competition OF
German and especially British capt.
talists, after the war" Trotzky said
today in commenting upon it.
81 am inclined to believe that this
state of affairs has arisen, not because
of the platonic sympathy of America
toward Russia. of which American
CAPITALISTS wish to convince me, but
because after the events of the las'

understood that they cannot over
