these plans as expressed by Premier
Lloyd George in his speech before the
conference was re-echoed throughout
England today. 1t served again to
emphasize the British publIc's realiza-

America will give to-the allied war
machine, and to the Americans here
at least, It also served as a reminder
of the gigantic task to which the
United States has set itself.
With Lloyd Georges speech open

to work TO speed up the realization
OF the premier's hopes and aspIra-

Haig's report added.
There was evidence today that the

There has been no fighting of any

ELABORATE PREPARATIONS
FOR FIRST CUB GAME
BY Mark Shields,

Elaborate preparations are being
made for the opening game on the
North Side a week from today, be-
tween the Cubs and Pittsburgh. The
usual cabaret performers and fire
works will be on hand, and a special
feature will be the battery that han
dies the first ball
If present plans are carried
through, Gov. Lowden will toss the
seasons initial pill in the general
direction of home base and Judge
Lands of the federal court will be
there to catch it. A large attendance
of bOndsmen, bank wreckeTs and
pickpockets should be on hand. They
know the ledge can catch anything
he goes after.
The ball game will trail these in
Productions, with the fans hOIering
for the pastime. A certain Difference
must be made the famous men and
sufficient abs and COS must be voiced
at the fireworks, but the ball game is
the thing. The real fan would be
willing to dispense with the ceTemO-

base from a catcher's glove.
Today the Cubs start a tNNo-day
series in Kansas City, and the line
up Manager Mitchell uses there is
the one that will start the season,
with the exception of the battery
men. Larry Doyle played his first
full game yesterday against st. Joe
and there was no appreciate limp to
his walk or when he was running.
Larry will determine today whether
he can start the season. If he can't

is in excellent condition.
Rowland and the White Sox have
taken military drill seriously, and
when the first game is played on the
South Side the fans will be treated
to drill only a tTifie below the class
of the regular army. The athletes
have been drilled diligently by Serg't
Smiley and the cOrporals appointed
by him have gone to their duties en-
Enthusiastically. Eddie Collins is am
bilious to have the best drilled squad
of the club and his put his men
through their exercises in hotel
rooms as well as on the field.
This drill has proven more of a
recreation than a hardship to the
players and has taken their minds off
baseball when necessary. Rowland
gives the sOldierly stuff great credit
for the condition in which his team
is as the season draws near.
The manager is said to have made
up his own mind as to how right field
will be guarded, but he is keeping it
a secret. Undoubtedly he wants a

the South eide during the coming
season. His word will have great
weight.
The Kid is the driving wheel of the
club. He is the one who can get the
work out of the players. He knows
what each can do and sees to it that
no duty is shirked. He keyed up the
team when he Tejoined it last year
and cinched his job for 1917.
The South Siders boast excellent
ball players, fellows who are compe-
tent with their feet and hands, and,
in some cases, with their heads. But,
except in a few instances, there was
a lack of aggression in 1916. GIea-
