Meanwhile base ball is the only sport
possible. A great game was playeo
yesterday in honor of the ARRIVAL OF the
American newspaper correspondents A
large crowd of spectators was rreSelt,
composed mostly of sailors IN plue anu
soldiers in khaki. The game was pc
tween picked teams and all the players
wore regulation uniforms, which mad
been brought from the United states.
Just Like Big Leaguers.
It was strange to see the sailors
emerge from the ships club like big
league players, and stranger still. when
they marched through the streets. to
watch the villagers drop whatever they
were doing and stare in Amusement at
the players, as IL their procession was
something akin to a circus parade.
The scene of the game was beautl-
full green on the cliffs back of the
town. From the diamond could be seen
the American ships at anchor. There
was no grandstand, but the American
and British naval officers, as we'll as
many khaki uniformed ones and the
curious village throng. found the green
grass comfortable vantage point from
which to view the game. A goodly
sprinkling Of girls from the village was
present. They already have acquired a
certain amount of American base ball
slang and during the game frequently
made use of 1t.
Grays Defeat Blues.
The use of the names Of the men or
the ships from which they came is i'm
possible, but 1t can be said that the
Grays defeated the Blues by a score of
Is to 2. The Grays had a pitcher of
some repute from the Pacific Coast
League, whose curves the Blues simply
could not solve. They would have been
shut out but for the fact that the pitch
er passed couple of men, which, COM
bined with poor support, gave the Blues
their only two runs. But the game was
remarkably fast and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the tars and spectators
alike.

BASE OF AMERICAN FLEET IN
BRITISH WATERS, June 22-Two
American pool tables arrived in this
picturesque old village today. They are

They are the latest addition to the
shore home for the crews of the Amer
ican destroyers. which has been named
the United States Naval Mems Club
and which is being built with funds
provided by American business men in
London and New York.
Although the dormitory feature of
the clubhouse which will provide
sleeping accommodations for seventy
five men, will not be completed for a
month. the clubhouse will be formally
opened on Saturday night. Moving
pictures will share in the honors. with
q vaudeville program provided by the
American sailors. The program has
been printed by the destroyers' printers
and announces songs, dances. rectta-
tons and wrestling matches by the
most marvellous aggregation from
Gods country that ever set foot In any
body'S else's country.
\ moving picture machine from one
OF the ships has been installed and the
orchestra of the destroyer fleet is busy
tainment. Another feature will be

who were formerly on the battlesh1p
Nebraska. The sailors were busy to-
their clubhouse. which was formerly a
public bath house and which they have
converted into hall which seats near
ly 1000 persons.
Cozy Corners Provided.
Under the balcony which skirts the
walls the ship carpenters have con-
structed a series of little alcoves as
coy corners and the ship artists have
adorned the interior of each corner
with painting of old glory intertwined
with the allies colors. The operations
are being superintendent by the fleet
chaplain, great favorite with the
sailors.
When the clubhouse is completed

other luxury.

1t was Oliver Twist whose plate
was always held up with the cry
for More. 1t is the Democra-
tic administration which is always
going to Congress with a like de-
mand.
Under the guise of prepared
ness, the Secretary of the Navy
is asking Congress for more po-
wer to enable him to take over
and to operate private enterpriS-
es if and when his single judg
ment shall determine that an eX-
igency requires it.
Under the guise of putting III
to operation the new revenue
laws, the Secretary of the Trea-
ury has asked Congress for four
million dollars to be expended in
salaries for a new army of tax
eaters and Office holders to col,
lect the money which thrift and
enterprise must pay.
Under the guise of taking steps
to protect American rights, the
President medltates asking Con-
gress to grant to him unlimited
authority to use all of our forces
and all of our resources without
restriction Of legislation.
More money. more power, more
opportunity to interfere with phi
vate enterprise. This is the aim
Of the administration. 1t is OIL

whose cry continually Was Give!

Trade Paper Tells Of SeattIe's
Great Growth,

Seattle, Wash. Especially - The
Business Chronicle is a commercial
newspaper published in this city, and
is devoted to the commercial interests
of the Pacific Northwest. In a recent
publication, the Business Chronicle
in replying to the attacks made on
Seattle because it is the largest dry
city in the country, set forth these
facts:
During the year Seattle has been
without saloons the city has gained in
population, building occupancy is
greater than ever, bank deposits have
Increased, new industries have sprung
up, more tourists have visited Seattle
The amount of taxes to be raised on
this years valuation is less than a
year ago. Delinquent taxes have been
reduced. Bank clearings and trans
actions are greater than last year.
Postotiice receipts are larger. Paw
rolls have increased. Savings insti-
tutions have opened more new ac,
counts and received a greater aggre,
gate of small sums from working
men than in any other year. Mer-
chants have sold more and better
goods and collections have been vastly
improved. Bond dealers find a new
class of investors and have had the
best year ever experienced. Seattle
today is sounder and more prosperous
than ever"

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, Feb. 26. Especial
Correspondence. Representa-
tive James W. Hustled of New
York charges that the Democrats
excepted the profits of agricul-
ture from the operation of the
new revenue bill because of their
admitted inability to ascertain
the profits and assess the tax.
Il want to ask" inquired Mr..
Hustled of the Democratic leader,
whether you consider it more
difficult to keep track of profits
on the farm than of profits in a
large manufacturing industry" :"
1T may be the gentleman is
right, " was the reply. In other
words whatever taxable income
is plainly in sight is made to bear
an extra burden sufficient to make
up for the lack of tax on incomes
which are difficult to reach, and
which the Democrats do not care
to take the trouble Of uncovering.

In the report OF the NationG
Foreign Trade Council on co-ope
ration in foreign trade are to be
found a couple of interesting
statements which traverse the
oft-repeated assertion of the
Democrats that the Democratic
tariff was not responsible for the
industrial depression before the
war. Renewing it's declaration
in favor of the Webb bill, the re.
port goes on to say:
THE (former) declaration
came at a time when indus
try Iangulshed, labor was
idle, and machinery stood
still. A steady increase of
foreign trade, beginning in
1908, had been arrested. Ex-
ports in 1914 had falleI be-
low 1918, but imL Lorts had in
creased. Natural commodi-
ties predomirated in the ey-
ports and finished manutac-
lures represented the enter
prise of a comparatively small
number of industries.
The European war restored
prosperity to the United
States. Abnormal demand
and prices for munitions,
toodstuffs, and raw mater
laIs accelerated industry and
recalled idle hands to the
forge. This excess of
export trade over normal
rests upon the following cir
cumStances:
(a) Abnormal war demand
and prices for munitions,
