of the New York Nationals and President Fultz held a conference at which the fraternity executive said that if he was assured that the members of the Players Fra ternity would not be discriminated against financially or otherwise by the major league club owners, he would release the men from their pledges,
 1 McGraw immediately went to see President Tencr Of the National League and after the situation had been explained to him Tener said:
 You can assure MT Fultz that l give my word of honor as the president of the National League | that the National League will not discriminate in any way against any ball player because Of his con- nection with the fraternity"
 Upon receiving this statement from President Tener, McGraw de- clared to several newspaper repre- sentatiyes: "I feel perfectly justi- fled in announcing that to all in- tents and purposes the strike is of insofar as it affects the National League"
 When President Johnson of the American League arrived in New York to attend the annual schedule meeting of the league, he was in- J formed of the action taken by Pres ident Tener and in reply to a query as to whether he would give similar assurance, he said:
 50 far as the fraternity is con- Icerned We give no assurance. All our players look alike to us. About 85 per cent of them have signed l1917 contracts and if the men come along to their training quarters, well and good. That is all the as- surance that the American League will give"
 Chairman Hermann of the na- tional commission stated that there was clause in all major league contracts for 1917 which protected 1 the players from discrimination on account of membership in the fra ternity and both of the major league presidents also called attention to this fact.
 The National League board of directors was increased from five to eight members, the president of each club becoming a director.
 No player in the league can be released between August 20 and the close of the championship sea- Ison, except through tho regular for Imailty of the waiver rule.

 Miss Garden has been regarded by all screen producers as the big gest woman star holding out against the screen. and her re- markedly successful career with the Metropolitan opera Company in New York, the Hammerstein opera ventures in New York and Phila- delphia and with the Boston and Chicago opera companies, amply sustains their belief.

 The other game will be between the teams of the Douglas Kamera Klub and the Juneau high school. Since the defeat of the Kamera Klub boys at football they have been burning for a chance to re- venge themselves on their rivals from this side of the channel, and tonight will be their opportunity.
 The team from Juneau will line up about the same as usual with Burford as the mainstay, ably as- sisted by Williams, Hodges, Tas- chek and Torvincn. The lineup of the girls teams, or of the Doug las team have not been announced.

SEA MOSS MAKES GOOD FOOD
Made Into "Laver Bread" It Is Found
on Sale in All Welsh Markets
Near the Coast.

The sea moss on the Irish coast,
called by some "slOak," is really laver.
In Ireland it is called "Sloucaun"
with the &c" hard), and "Slouc" for
brevity. In Ireland, as In England, 1t
is prepared by washing, to get rid Of
sand, etc, and then boiling.
When boiled, little butter or bacon
fat is added and a dash of lemon juice
completes the preparation. 1t is eaten
with fish. and by some with mutton
instead of jelly.
In Wales a great deal Of laver is
used, mostly in the form of "laver
bread" says the London Chronicle.
The boiled laver is mixed with a pro-
portion of oatmeal and shaped into
round cakes.
"Laver bread" or "lava bread" as
1t seems to be pronounced, is on sale
In all the Welsh markets anywhere
conveniently near the coast.

QUICK AID GIVEN WOUNDED
Rapid Treatment After Battle and
New Cleansing Methods Save
Lives Of Many Soldiers.

Lieut.. Col. Gilbert Darling. c. b., a
famous English surgeon who Is con-
'sulting surgeon to the great base hos
pitals at Rouen, which accommodate
$1,000 patients, says that since the war
began immense strides have been made
in the surgery Of. the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed as
having taken place since the outbreak
Of hostilities, writes a correspondent OF
the New York Times, are in connection
with the rapid treatment Of the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be ex-
pected, so that once man is picked up
by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within a very short
time; Here also is q special hospital,
perhaps of so beds, for abdominal
cases, which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, because
Of the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, were generally consid-
cred to be fatal; but under the new
conditions, by which a man so hit is
placed in an ambulance and sent off
Immediately, If necessary, without
waiting for other wounded to be placed
in with him, the dangerous delay IS
overcome, and the wound kept aseptic
and more amenable to treatment.

OIL TO BE KING IN FUTURE
Necessity for Petroleum Products
Shown In War as Well as in In
dustrial and Domestic Life.

The European war Is without
doubt doing more to direct general at
tention to the claims of oil and its null
titudiness products than any amount
of advertising in normal times could
have accomplished. says writer In
the Petroleum Review.
The great clash of arms on the con-
tinent has from its commencement
shown that the necessity for the prod
ucts of petroleum in up-to-date war
fare is no less than In either the indus
trial circles or in domestic life. We
are today as much dependent upon the.
refined products of crude oil as we are
upon wheat and other necessities of
life. and as time goes on, and the uses
which are constantly being found for
petroleum multiply, our dependency
upon oil becomes the greater.
1t Is no surprise, therefore, to find
that not only are petroleum products
generally commanding greater atten-
ton than they ever before did, but
that particularly healthy atmosphere
permeates those enterprises which
have laid themselves out-and sue
cessfully soto engage In the produc-
tion. the refining, the transport or the
distribution of petroleum products.
There is. In short. no mistaking the
feet that In the future oil will be king.

BOOK OUTPUT is INCREASED
Number OF Publications in United
States in 1916 Showed Gain in
Spite of Rising Costs.

The rising cost of paper, ink and
the other materials Of boOkmaking
did not curtail the number Of publica-
tiOns in 1916; instead there was a net
gain of I'll. OF American publications
there was a falling Off in the number
brought from the other side, showing
the writer's. though generally main
tanning the pen is mightier than the
sword, have taken up the latter. That
the cost of production does not re-
strict the book output is indeed fortu-
nate for aspiring authors If the pub
fishers choose to make the price of pa
per an excuse, they could make the
path to literary success stonIer than 4
is now, says the Pittsburgh Gazette.
But in a land that turns out 10, 445
titles in a year, as this one did in
1915, there is chance for the medi-
Ocre. OF the output, 8,797 were works
done in America, so leaving out the
best sellers and class and technical
books, quite q number of poets and
story tellers must have taken their
places among the elect. One would
hardly think authors were so plentiful
1t is probable the war has speeded up
book production, and that 1t would
have to make printing costs very high
before the tide of war-bOrne fiction
and other matter would be stemmed.-

B0OTING CROOKS NEW SPORT
South American City Found Way to
Reform Pickpockets But the In
nocent Suffered Also.

"Booting the pickpocket" bids fair
to become the national pastime unless
the police interfere, says a correspond
ent at BuenOs Aires. Pocket picking
on street cars has become great
nuisance and a local newspaper Of
fered novel method of combating
the thieves.
"One of the tricks much practlced,"
1t explained, as for one person to
stoop in the doorway Of the car to tie
his shoe lace or to pick up some OBJ
ject. Thus he obstructs the move
ments of the victim whose pockets are
emptied by the stooper's associates.
Brief and vigorous action is best. Kick
the bending person into the car. with
out mercy. He will express surprise,
but this is better than being robbed"
The plan was an immediate hit. 1t
proved such good sport that the slight

interfere. Meanwhile the pickpockets
are devising other tricks and are res

New York, Sept 30.-In an open
letter to the Governors of the United
States, made public here tonight, the
Executive Committee OF the Ameri-

who by their seditious utterances are
giving aid andlcomfort to Germany"
'The public remarks and the votes
of Senator'S Stone, Reed, La Toilette,
Gore, Gronna, Vardaman and Hard
wick, the letter stated, Clearly show
their willful obstruction, seditious, if
not, indeed, reasonable tactics"
Each Governor was asked to
"arouse public sentiment through an
appeal to the fathers, mothers, wives
and sisters of men at the front" in
his State.

Garden Out Of q Swamp.

Hiram WixOn, formerly Of Aureliua
the man who added hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars TO the wealth of his
neighbors, is dead, the Detroit News
states. Wlxon years ago conceived the
idea of doing gardening In Aurelius
swamps. which comprise many acres.
He was regarded as at least mildly In
sane when he went into the swamp
and cleared a place for a vegetable
garden. Farmers and scientists proved
conclusively that nothing could be
raised successfully because Of the wa
ter and the nature OF the soil, but
wixon kept on despite ridicule. When
be raised a bumper crop many others
followed his example and In time a
large part Of the swamp was con-
quered. Wixon worked out drainage
scheme by means OF a series Of ponds
which he stocked with carp. The fish
grew to immense size and also added
to his income.

IS THIS "YoUNG MANS AeE7"
Golden. Period Of Achievement Comes
When Man Is Well Past Forty
Years Of Age, II Is Claimed.

"Our times are frequently called the
age ofthe young men. But when one
looks back TO the revolutionary era Of
our country, from 1775 to 1925, and
considers the striking yOuthfulness Of
the leaders of America the appellatlon
does not appear exactly to IT." said a
New York man in, a recent interview.
"Nor do the men now I'm their twen-
ties and thlrties push the men Of the
forties and fifties hard enough to prove
that this is pre-eminently the young
mans age. Unless men Of forty are
considered young, this scarcely is a
young mans age.
"The youngsters under thirty receive
an undue degree Of attention from the
professions and business. A notion
prevails that the latest graduate from
college, technical school or university
Is laors desirable than the nan who
has had postgraduate courses in life's
college of experience. Best sellers,
movies and magazine articles about
business foster the notion. COnse-
quently, a distressingly large number
of men from twenty-five to thirty ex-

"Many will, If they work hard and

cases 10 years later. In fact, the pres
ent age is the age Of the mature m&a.

orlaIn Of Health DRINKING.

The custom of drinking the health
Of the most popular man at the table
has its foundation in the ancient prac-
tice originated by the Greeks and
adopted by the Romans of drinking
to the gods and the dead, observes an
exchange. The Greeks and Romans
later began the practice Of drinking
to each other, and from this arose the
custom Of toasting living men. But
health drinking in its modern form,
originating in England in the royster.
ing days of Charles ii, begins with
the custom Of drinking to the ladies or
to any woman who happened to be the
reigning belle of the court. Many and
various were the quaint customs asso-
ciated with the toasts of those days.
For example, in certain companies Of
military officers etiquette demanded
that the cup should be passed from
hand to hand. In many midnight
gatherings of Alsatia, gallants stabbed
themselves in the arms In order to
drink with their blood the health Of
the woman on whom their hearts were
set.
