WHAT THEY KNEW OF SPORTS
Humorous Ignorance Shown by Men
in Their Effort to Boost Their
Favorite Cities.

OF all the funny stories l recall at
the present moment, think can work
UP the best laugh over the tale of the
two Irishmen who were arguing about
the relative merits of New York and
Chicago. You know, there is a type
of person who, when he knows moth
ing about thing, and finds you don't
know either, will start in and explain
it to you. These two were both of that
kind. Said one:
"Why, in New York we have grass
growing right on the roof, just the
same as down on the ground. You can
have your front yard Oh top of your
house."
that's nothin'," declared the 9TH
er. I'm Chicago we play golf on the
roofs"
"Golf. You mean that game where
you knock ball back and foE th across
a metz"
"Yes. that's it,"
"You dommed idjut, that's not golf
You're talkin' about croquet."
Eyes. said the other one. II know
you couldn't mean golf. How would
they get the horses up on the roof Tor
golf e?"-Chattanoo Times.

HOLLWEG TO GIVE
new PEACE TERMS
German Chancellor Win Make An
n0uncement Soon.
BERLIN WELCOMES U. S. AID
Newspapers Assert Gerard BANQUET
Gives Berlin an Opportunity to
Make Further overtures to
Entente Allies.

Amsterdam, Jan. 10.-Dr. Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, the German imperial
chancellor, may be expected to make
an important declaration about the
mi lie of the present month, according
to dispatch to the Tijd from Berlin.
The reply of the entente to President
Wilson is being awaited says the dis
patch, and the chancellor, after its
contents are known, will further define
il the reichstag the position of Ger
many. Germany, it is declared, will
simultaneously address representations
TO the neutrals which supported Presi-
dent Wilson's proposals.
Berlin, Jan. 10.-The Boersen lei
tung, Berlin's leading financial organ.
seizes upon the dinner given to Am
bassador Gerard by the American
Chamber of Commerce and Trade as
ali opportunity to discuss peace again.
1t declares that the banquet had I'M
usual Importance and expresses almost
enthusiasm at the cordial relations ex-
listing between the United States and
Germany at it finds them in the ex-
pressions of the speakers.
The papers declare that Germany
will welcome every support America
may lend to the peace movement, 80
long as it does not attempt to narrow
or foil the acquisition of peace worthy
of Germany ana the efforts of her
fighters"
In its comment on the dinner the
Boersen Zeitung says that it is natural
that Germany now looks differently
upon an America (which has recov-
cred from what may be termed it's ca
rouse over its rich war gains than on
an America which Germany vainly
tried to arouse to a sympathetic under
standing of her situation"
The paper warns Americans, how
ever, that they must not expect the
German people to be deeply grateful
for peace efforts which, it says, actu-
ally are inspired by Americas own de-
sires and needs for peace"
FriendIiness Questioned.
After saying tnar the banquet itself
was far more important than an or
binary festivity, the Boersen Zeitung
adds:
1--WE never have expected more from
American than 1t should continuously
guard It's own interests from the war
ring powers instead of strengthening
our enemies with temporary advan-
tages. If God will protect us from our
friends, we will manage to take care
of our enemies.'
The Kreuz Zeitung adopts an entire
ly different tone and finds Ambassador
Gerards claim that good relations ex-
list between Germany and the United
States remarkable, quite remarkable"
The paper then cites categorically some
half dozen reasons which it considers
cast doubt on the ambassadors claim.
Among these are the delivery of mu-
nittons to the allies, the dismissal by
Washington of German and Austrian
diplomats, and the opposition of the
American government to submarine
warfare.

eign affairs yesterday that after thu
publication by the Washington state de
partment of the code kilograms forward
ed by Count Won LuXburg, German min

SUIT DISCONTINUED
Albany Ice Cream Co.'S Action Against
State of Vermont

The case of the Albany Ice Cream Co
of Albany, n ", against the state board
of health, which has been pending in the
district court for the district of Vermont
has been discontinued by agreement Of
both parties.
This action grew out of an attempt OF
| the state board of health to enforce certain
rules and regulations prescribing stand
ards was that it should not contain less
than II per cent of butterfat. The prod
net of the plaintiff, on several analyses,
was shown to contain much less. An in.
junction was granted by Judge Howe
enforcing the regulation.
During the session of 1917 the legisla-
ture passed an act adopting the regula
tion as promulgated by the state board
of health. Because of the passage of this
act there was no further necessity for
prosecuting the case, which explains the
action of the plaintiff in consenting to a
discontinuance

sented the state board of health and the
attorney for the plaintiff company was
Walter j. Carlin of Albany, n Y.

turers the act in question as adopted by

SPORTING NOTES

| 1t has been semi officially announced
that the first game of the worlds series
will be played Oct. 6, not being able to
be played earlier on account of the SEIZED
ule of the National league running al
most to that date The place of the first
engagement, Chicago, was decided by the
toss of a coin.
Although Detroit secured only four
safe bingles to the nine secured by the
Red Sox team in the first encounter of
Wednesdays double bill between the two
clubs, the Tigers won the game by the
tune of to 2. By dropping the second
game also, the Red Sox are now eight
and one.half games behind Chicago
According to recent statement by
President Haughton of the Braves, the
Boston National league team will agree
to meet the Red Sox in a post -season Sc
ries. President Haughton is credited
with the statement that he does not
wish to question President Frazee of the
Red Sox team on the subject as long as
there is a least chance of the latter
team winning the American league cham
pionship. 1t is 10 years since the Boston
teams have met and there are many fans
who would like the two teams to arrange
a series of games.
The indianapolis club of the American
association has won the pennant of that
league, according to the final standings
of the league. The club finished with a
large margin over st. Paul and Louis
Vile, who were tied for the second posi-
ton. Plans for a postseason series be.
tween indianapolis and Toronto, the win
ner of the International league cham
are being made. The first game
will be played at Toronto Sept. 25

MR.. CLEVEL4ND
LOST ONE JAW
Facts of the Surgical Operation on Pres
ident in 1898 Revealed for
First Time.

Philadelphia, Sept. elm an article
in the current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post. DR. w. w. Keen emeritus
professor of surgery of the Jefferson
medical college of this city, reveals for
the first time the facts connected with
the surgical operation performed on
President Grover Cleveland on July /,
1893 1t will be recalled that the pub.
LEGATION of rumors of such an operation
led to animated controversy and to Off
cial denial from Washington.
The operation was performed only a
few days before Congress met in special
session to hear Mr.. Clevelands message
urging the repeal of the Sherman act,
and DIR. Keen explains that the reticence
regarding Mr.. Ceveland's condition was
alton and the belief that 1t would affect
his plans respecting the repeal of this
measure.
The operation was performed on board
the yacht Oneida, belonging to Com
modore Il. G.. Benedict. DIR. Keen thus
describes its extent:
"The entire left jaw was removed
from the first bicuspid tooth to just
beyond the last moar, and nearly up
to the middle line. The floor of the or
bit--the cavity containing the eyeball-
was not removed, as it had not yet been
attacked. A small portion of the soft
palate was removed
Ii was on Sunday, June Is, of that
year, that Dr. r. M. 0Reilly, later sur
geon general of the United States army,
examined a rough place in MIR. Cleve-
and's mouth. An ulcer was discovered,
md the pathologist of the Army Medical
Museum in Washington reported after
that it was strongly indi |
,ative of malignancy The operation
vas performed by DR. Joseph d. Byrant |
# New York, assisted by DR.. Keen, DIR.
J. G. Janeway of New York, DR.. O'Reil-
Y, and DIR. John F. Edmann. DR.. Fer
Iinand Hasbrouck, dentist, also was
resent as an assistant.
The operation was done entirely from
he inside, SO no telltale scar was left,
nd later the president was fitted with
rubber jawplate, which enabled him
o retain his accustomed voice and pro-
unciation. Some weeks later second
peration was performed to remove ad-
itional tissue that was believed to be
lfested.
Mr.. Cleveland died fifteen years after
he operation.

Sec. Wilson Blames Excess
sive Gains for Spirit of
Unrest Among Labor
"SWAG ENOUGH"
FOR BOTH
Asks Business Mems Con-
vention to Agree on Com
mon Ground with Men

| Atlantic City, Sept 2l.-UnpatriotiC
business men seeking excessive profits
were blamed for the spirit of unrest
among labor by Secretary of Labor vii.
son in an address yesterday before the
labor section of the war convention of
| American business men.
Labor has been restless" said Secre-
tary Wilson, because the word has gone
forth that iron and steel men are making
200 to 400 per cent profit and that ship
ping, mining and the other great indus
tries are getting excessive returns.
This feeling on the part of labor has
been justified. In my investigation of
the coal industry in the east, it was
shown that operators in some instances
extorted IS and SO for coal that cost
them $3.50.
81 have told labor this is no time TO
insist on recognition of their unions, nor
to force changes in labor standards, but
this program endangers the future lib
erty of the people. | now tell you Amer
lean business men il is no time to insist
on protiteering, as many have been do
ing. You should welcome price fixing
because it means a logical standard of
pay for labor. Let labor and yourselves
find common ground that is acceptable,
if not satisfactory, to insure the greatest
amount of production at the least cost
in cash and labor There should be swag
to divide between capital and labor"
Denunciation of the Sherman anti !
trust act as hampering the efforts of
business men to aid the government in |
the prosecution of the war was made by |
Alba b. Johnson, president of the Bald
win Locomotive Works.
III there is any one thing this war has
Demonstrated be said, sit is that the
principle of the Sherman act will not
stand the strain of war The moment |
he stress of war comes to the nation we
zee this temple to false god overturned. II
The government itself is eliminating
and has realized that bust.
Tess must be conducted on basis of
reasonable profit. The only way to reach
hat basis is by conferences among pro.
lucers."
The bill pending in Congress to permit
in export trade should be
assed immediately, Mr. johnson de-
Jared, so that American industry may
ct in concert in furthering the country's
oreign commerce. I

Russian Military Is Said to
Have Become Strongest
Bulwark of Republic
RUSSIA'S FUTURE
IS NOW SECURE
Will Command Respect and
Confidence of United
States

Washington, d. c., Sept. 2l.-That the
Russian republic may demand the re-
spec and confidence of the United
States more than ever before is the pur-
pose of formal report by Ambassador
Bahkmetieff to Secretary Lansing yes
terday. The outstanding features of
the Russian statement to this govern
ment are;
Russa's future is secure,
Her army, considered an incalculable
factor before the Korniloff revolt, is
now the strongest bulwark of the re-
public.
The Bolsheviki, favoring immediate
international peace negotiations, have
reached the zenith of their power after
being temporarily strengthened by CON
cessions from kerensky during the re-
cent crisis.
The pan Russian soldiers and work
mems convention in Petrograd Sunday
will curtail Lenine's sudden assumption
of powers over the Petrograd council.
A more favorable military situation
exists now than at any time since kor
nilofr's Inflated Galician drive.
Absolute denial of any demand for a
peace between Russia and Ger
many
The Bolsheviki are for peace among all
peace with Germany
alone. Reports emanating from Wash
ington early this week that Russia was
talking separate peace were branded at
the embassy as malicious falsehoods,
with pro German tinge."
That the recent revolt win be the last |
serious opposition TO the government is
confidently predicted. Overthrow of the
most popular military leader in Rus
,ia" (Korniloff) will undoubtedly serve
rs warning to Others similarly in
,lined,' it was stated at the embassy
yesterday.
