Championship Ball Game

La Junta will go to Trinidad next
Sunday with the intention OF bring
Ing home the bacon in the way of
baseball championship. La Junta
and Trinidad have won three games
from each other during the present
season. and the game next Sunday
will be for the championship, as
our team has not been defeated by
any other team. It Is probable that
a series Of games will be arrang ged
between Trinidad, La Junta and
Tsub Bros. OF Pueblo, for the wind
up and finish Of the season. Taub
Bros. won two our Of four games
from Trinidad. but have not a. yet
won from La Junta. These three
teams are very evenly matched. and
a series OF games between them
would be mighty interesting.
La Junta will play with Taub
Bros. In Sugar City on Thursday.
August 30th. as one of the attrac-
tions Of the Crowley County Fair.
Taub Bros. will then come to La
Junta for two games, one on Sun
day. September I'd. and the other on
September 3d-Labor Day. After
this series Of games will probably
be arranged between La Junta. Trim
idad and Taub Bros. Of Pueblo. and
the baseball season vii close the last
Of September.

FRENCH CARRY POINT

Washington, May 2.-The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the Allies deem
It wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men. II became known def
nitely today that the Government has
offered the Allies troops, but has
suggested that the alarming shortage
OF world shipping may make il i'm
practical to send them at once. In
spite of objections of the General
Staff to putting any American forces
on the firing line before the great
war army has been raised and train
ed, 1.-The Administration has deter
mined that the small contingent earn
estly desired by France for moral
effect shall be sent as soon as posi-.
ble.s The general belief here is that
the way soon will be found.
Whether the force first to carry
the. Stars and Stripes into battle in
France shall be made up of regulars
or National Guardsmen, or both, has
not been worked out. al

without disorder from the the reac-

Germany's intensified submarine
campaign apparently is causing con-
siderable uneasiness in England. King
George, il is announced, shortly will
issue proclamation asking The peo-
pie to cut down their consumption of
foodstuffs by Is per cent owing to the
gravity of the situation. In parliament
various members are harrassing the
admiralty by demanding that it make
public the exactnumber of boats sunk
by submarines, among them Lord
Beresford, who declared that the loss
es were appalling.
Two more steamers have been sent
to the bottom by the undersea boats,
the British steamer Ballarat, with
troops bound from Australia for Eng
land, and the steamer Gorilla, flying
the Uruguayan flag. All the troops on
board the Ballarat and the crew of the
Gorilla were saved.
What steps Uruguay, a neutral
country will take withs regard TO the
sinking Of one of her steamers is
problematicaL Previously she declin-

that the attitude of the United States
in declaring war on Germany was
just.
NO CHANGES IN FRANCE.
Except for artillery fighting be-
tween the French and Germans along
the Chemin-Des-Dames and in Cham

the French captured from them on
Monday near Mont-Haut, the situation
along both British and French fronts
in france remains unchanged. In
