TROUBLES OF OWNERS AND
PLAYERS NEAR OPEN WAR
BY Mark Shields

y
through its president, Dave Fultz,
and it's board Of directors, has
thrown down the gage of battle to
baseball magnates and declared pos
itiveIy for a strike of the athletes I'M
less certain concessions the players
are fighting for are granted immedi-
ately.
Matters are brought to a head
through the suspension Of Harry
CSim) SaIleeJ Giant pitcher, from
the fraternity for signing 1917
contract, after the players had
agreed to withhold signatures until
an agreement had been reached.
Sa1ee, according to Fultz, is the
only fraternity man who has signed.
Some minor players who were not
affiliated have sent contracts to
major clubs.
To the layman the ethics of the
case are not exactly clear. The
players protest against a supposed
clause in major contracts withhold
ing pay from players while they are
injured. Magnates assert there
never was such a clause, and say a
new form of contract recently adopt
ed goes even further than in the past
in protecting players. This matter
came before the recent meeting of
the national commission, but the re-
naming complaints Of the players
were not acted upon, these being
matters within the province of the
minor association.
FuEtz declares that unless notice is
taken of his grievances Immediately
there will be no need of spring train
. ing camps. He says ten big league
clubs will be crippled, that the Inter
national league will be able to re-
cruit about one-sixth of it's strength,
the Southern assn the same and the
American assn about one-quarter.
The whole affair seems to simmer

tween the players and club owners.
The latter affect not to be worried
by the threats of the players, and
Ban Johson of the American league
is especially beIigerent. In fact,
Bans warlike attitude is mainly re-
sponsible for FuItz's bitterness. The
president of the American league has
consistently refused to treat with
Fultz. If he had been, willing to
meet Fultz as the head of real Or
ganization the whole affair might
have been settled without resorting
to force.
Apparently authentic reports are
that Cub and Sox players will not go
along with the fraternity, but will
sign the new form of contract. Joe
Benz says he is not in sympathy with
the FUltz action and he believes his
fellow-athletes will take the same
position.
Whether FuItz will be able to make
his strike dictum stick is a question
that can only be determined by a
showdown. Undoubtedly he has
some players positively lined up with
him. He met with representatives
of the fraternity yesterday in Phila-
delphia. Burns of Detroit, Young Of
Detroit, Mayer and Eddie Burns of
the PhilIes and some minor players
attended.
As a matter Of fact, the players
are fighting for the future. With
the Federal league war several ath-
letes dubbed the owners into paying
them a lot more money than their
ability entitled them to. Now the
players fear the magnates will re-
taliate and reduce salaries to a much
lower pitch.
Pitchers George Mcconnell and
George Pierce, Catcher Wallace and
Infielder Ed Sticking have been sent
to the Kansas City club of the Amer
lean assn by the Cubs. Optionsare
kept on Sticking and Wallace. Pierce

Little Gray Nun Helps the Government

A little gray nun has brought out
Of the melting pot of New York's
East Side a regimen of soldiers
ready to give thir services and lives
if need be to the United States.
Sister Marianne is mother" of
four companies of columbus Volun-
teers," Italian, Syrians, Russians,
Jews and youths from every race that
goes to make up that great cosmopol-
itan population of the East Side are
members of "her troop" Twice a
week for more than a year they have
heard from the lips of Sister Mari
anne of the debt of gratitude and
honor they owe to the United States,
and the soft spoken little nun has
instilled in them spirited patriotism.
As Mother Superior of the Tnsti-
tute of Christian Doctrine, Sister
Marianne was quick to recognize the
need for military training among the
youth of the East Side. The national
guard made no appeal to these boys,
of them could afford to join organi-
cations which might give them mill
tary training.
So Sister Marianne took it upon
herself to stand sponsor for the mil
itary traing of these East Side boys
and to instill in them the spirit Of
loyalty to their country which would
make them ready to offer their serv-
ices to their government when the
time of need came
Funds for tn equipment of the
troop were slow in coming. I'm
daunted, Sister Marianne went on
with her work of organization and
secured a drill master. There was
no drill hall, but this did not perplex

the nun. In the main hall Of the in
stitute, where saints smiled down
from their little shrines on the wall,
the embryo soldiers were gathered
for drill.
Major General Organ, of the New
York national guard, was finally in

of charity, and through his aid and
the persistent work of Sister Mari
anne and her associate sisters there
We're finally funds sufficient to equip
the troop with uniforms, rifles and
banners. It was proud day for Sis

steps of the institute and cher regi-
ment" went marching in a blaze of
khaki and brass, each soldier salut-
ing with the colors dipped to "the
mother of the regiment"
After a year of training sthe boys
are ready" Sister Marianne says.
With war clouds hanging over the
nation this quiet little woman, who
traces her Americanism back to the
Revolutionary days, feels confident
that every boy in her regiment. will
do his duty by his country-and it's
an adopted country for most of them
"Some of the boys have already
spoken to me about joining the
Roosevelt brigade" Sister Marianne
said, "but I do not think they have
decided how they shall offer their
services. They are all poor boys,
whose families need their wages up
to the last moment, but when thar
moment comes they will volunteer
for the duration of the war;"

The newspapers of England and
Ireland are devoting lots of space to
the praise of Miss Louise Nolan,
sixteen-year-old young lady of Dub
lin, Ireland, for the bravery display
ed by her during the Dublin riots Of
last year. She has been presented
medal by the king for bravery, and
pictured by the leading papers in
England and Ireland in many posi-
tions. This bravery was displayed
by Miss Nolan, not in taking life, but
in endeavoring to save life.
The Sunday Pictorial (Dublin) aft
er rpinting many snap shots of Miss
Nolan, has this to say:
"To be called 'sixteen-year-old
heroine and the 'bravest colleen in
Ireland is high praise, indeed, but
these descriptions of Miss Louise
Nolan were entirely justified by her
act of bravery. Nor has it spoiled
her. A representative, who inter-
viewed Miss Nolan at the SALISBURY
theatre, where she is appearing in
Three Cheers" found her a bright,
frank, very sensible girl, obviously
engrossed in her profession in which
she already gives great promise. She
is fortunate in possessing a fine
voice. and charm of manner which
makes her a general favorite. She

milton her action has received. The

Berlin. Mir Michaelson, our consul at Cologne and Mr. Jackson and others at the embassy had been permitted to visit certain camps.
 But immediately preceding the meet. ing on the fourth of March, mad While matters were still being discussed, we were compelled to a certain extent to suspend our visits.
 In the first days of the war it was undoubtedly and unfortunately true prisoners of war taken by the Ger mans, both at the time of their capture and in transit to the prison camps, were often badly treated by the sol diers, guards. or the civil population
 The instances were too numerous; the evidence too overwhelming. In the prison camps themselves, owing to the peculiar system of military govern n,ent in Germany, the treatment of the prisoners varied greatly. As 1 have stated I think, in another place.

German III Treatment of Prisoners of
 War

During the period of the first months of war; in addition to my regular work, it became necessary to look after subjects of other nations who had been confided to my care.
 At first considerable liberty was al- lowed the British, although none were permitted to leave the country. They were required to report to the police at stated times during the day, >and could not remain out late at night.
 The Japanese had received warning from their embassy as to the turn that events might take, and, before sending it's ultimatum, the Japanese government had warned it's citizens, so that a great number of them had left Germany. After the declaration of war by Japan, all the Japanese in German were immediately imprisoned. This was stated to be in order to save them from the fury of the population.
 Certainly, the population seemed to be greatly incensed against the Japan csc. When I finally obtained permis- sion for their release and departure from Germany I had to send some one with the parties of Japanese to the Swiss frontier in order to protect them from injury. They were permitted to

 I discussed the question involved with two representatives from the for eign office. two from the general staff two from the war department and Count Schwerin, who commanded the civilian camp at Ruhleben race track. In twenty minutes we managed to come to an agreement, which then and there

This building was situated in the industrial part of the town of Halle.

 On Jne occasion a number of Japan csc were waiting in the embassy in or der to take the night train for Munich. I sent a servant to take them out, in order that they might get something to eat in a restaurant, but, as no restaurant in Berlin would sell them food, arrangements were made to give them meals in the embassy.
 The members of the Siamese lega tion. who in appearance greatly re- semble the Japanese, were often sub jected to indignities, and for a long time did not dare move about freely in Berlin, or even leave their houses.
 The Japanese were marvels of courtesy. After I visited some of them at the civilian camp of Ruhleben. they wrote me a letter thanking me for the visit. Nearly every Japanese leaving Germany on his arrival in SwitZer- lard wrote me a greatfnl letter.
