CHICAGO SECOND
 IN CLUB FIELDING
Republican A, p, Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-The Chicago Americans, the team which won the worlds championship, was second in club fielding in the American league Boston, with a total of :972, being five points to the good in this department of the game. This was shown in the official fielding averages announced by B. B. Johnson, president of the league, today.
 Among the regulars" Chick Gandil, Chicago, led the initial basemen, with Stuffy McInnis, Philadelphia, second. Jack Berry, manager of Boston, topped his rivals at the keystone sack with an average of .973. Eddie Collins, his former teammate and now captain of the Chicago White Sox, was four points lower.
 The fourth member of Connie Mack S old S100,000 infield-Baker-now play ing with New York, was tied with Weaver of Chicago among the third basemen, each fielding for a mark of .949. Scott of Boston was first among the shortstops. John Henry of Wash ington topped the catchers.
 Four pitchers went through the sea son without a fielding error. These performers were Walter Johnson Washington; Earl Hamilton, St. Louis A. J. Schauer, Philadelphia, and George 1 Mogridge, New York.
 John Collins, Chicago. led the out fielders. He took part in 73 games and was four points in front of Jacobson St. Louis. who went through Al con tests with five black marks against 1 him.

sent a. message to France asking if in ease of war she would respect that treaty. The answer was instantaneous that she would. The same message was sent to Germany and her delayed an- swer was that she declined to reply lest the answer reveal her military secrets. Her real answer came forty eight hours later when she sent her army into Belgium
 Dr. Francis then recounted the ter rible fate of Belgium in words that brought tears to many eyes and pallor to many cheeks. Of the unspeakable atrocities committed in Belgium by the German army, he barely hinted, but it was enough.
 Consider the darkest savages ever permitted to live on this earth" de- ciared pr. Francis, and the Prussian army. in comparison, exceeds in wan ton wickedness the whole bunch. Sometimes I wish it were possible that I might unloosen my tongue and tell of the atrocities perpetrated in Belgium by the German army. You can't make me believe that an army made up of soldiers of that kind are as good as an army of American upright free men,"
 For Moral Right
 The long struggle of the United States to stay out of the war was re- counted by the speaker. and that Washington's advice to stay out of the affairs of the world was good advice in his time, but that now America was too big and too powerful a nation to not have part in the diplomacy of the nations. That was all changed, he said, when George Dewey fired the shot at Manila
 What are we fighting for?" asked the speaker. Not for an zcre of ground, nor for a dollar of indemnity. We are fighting to preserve tye democratic lib- erty of the modern world and to deter mine that moral right stands higher than brute might"
 That the nation was not vet awake to the real necessity nor to the actual condition of war, but that she would be when the first casualty iis- is made public, he declared he feared would not be far away, was the statement of the speaker. He said there would be an electric change in the country when that list came.
 Tn the mobilization of the resources of the country to carry on this war is the answer to the question why I am in Phoenix today said Drl Francis.
 When the war broke out, the presi- dent turned to the Y. M. c. A, and said they wanted that organization as a medium through which the American

(Continued from Page One) German consuls at Honolulu and Mani la, respectively, also were implicated. Both pleaded guilty in San Francisco recently to complicity in plot to es- tablish a revolutionary government in India.
 A German secret agent known as 'K-17" was said in the diary to have aided in the transmission of these mes sages, and also to have advised the German government of the sailing time of Danish vessels from here and else where The diary hints at. plot to stir up revolts in China against the British, in furtherance of which quan- titles of arms were supposed to have been secretly buried in Shanghai and Manila. It also rev-a-s supposed or ders from the German embassy at Washington following the destruction of the Lusitania to destroy German vessels in American and insular ports, as immediate war was feared. The diary states that these orders were cancelled subsequently by certain 'H. V. B. presumed to be von Bernstorff but slch cancellation came only after the machinery in these vessels had been destroyed.
 Orders to the sailors of the Geier to return to Germany through the use oe false passports, also were issued, the article states.
 The article says that Grasshof was tried by court martial after the dis covery of the diary, and is now in solitary confinement pending his re- moval to Fort Douglas, Utah.
 On February 4, 1917. the Geier was set afire by her crew and badly dam aged. Afterward she was lowed to the Pacific coast for repairs.

RED CROSS DRIVE FUR MEMBERSHIP
 WILL BEGIN TODAY

Every adult person in Phoenix a member of the Red Cross is the slogan or the campaign of the Red Cross membership drive which starts this morning and will continue all the week.
 Simultaneous with the Phoenix cam- paign will be the drive in every city, town and hamlet in the United States for the same purpose, to secure ten million new members in the American Red Cross thus increasing the total membership to fifteen million. Organization for the drive in Phoenix is complete and will begin in full force this morning with Prof. John D. Loper, superintendent of the city schools, in l charge of the local campaign
 The slogan, Every adult person in Phoenix a member of the Red Cross, is to be taken literally in this member ship campaign drive declared MT. ! Loper yesterday. We actually are going after and expect to secure, every adult person in this city in the mem- bership of the Red Cross within the present week. When Saturday night comes we want to have it impossible to find a grown person in this city who is not a Red Cross member" Prof. Loper also is chairman of the | Central Arizona chapter of the Red Cross which includes all the towns within radius of 150 miles of Phoenix. Organizations have been effected in each of these towns.
 Two classes of membership in the Red Cross will be the most popular in this drive. One is the annual mem bership which is s100. The second is the Magazine membership at g which includes the Red Cross magazine. This will be probably the most popular membership. Of the other member ships, the Contributing membership is $500. the Sustaining membership is 5000, the Life membership is 5000, and the Patron membership is Sl00.
 There is to be a special day for each day of this week. The program. which already has been made public, is as follows:
 Tuesday-Civic Organizations and Employers day.
 Wednesday-W day.
 Thursday-School day.
 Friday-Employes' day.
 Saturday-Church day.
 The following Sunday, after the conclusion of the membership drive will be known as Red Cross Christmas Ceremony day. The ceremonies, which will be followed in every city, town and hamlet in the country, will consist of the hanging of Red Cross service flags in all windows, to be illuminated in the evening by tho placing of lighted candles behind them.
 Of the ten million new members to be obtained for the Red Cross in the United States it is planned to secure 457,000 of them in the district com posed of Arizona, California and Nev- ada, the Pacific division.
 Aiding in the membership campaign will be all the social and civic organ izations, they having offered theil best facilities toward making this campaign success. Daily reports vii be made of the drive and much rivalry is expected between the different citie. In Arizona

The women of the country did not butt in to the mili- tary affairs of the nation as has so many times been asserted. They are oa% doing what they have been askCG to do.'
 A Touch of Home Life
 The speaker told of the rest houses in France, of the many thousands Of women nursing at the battle front and of the difference between the work of nursing there and in America where there is no turmoil and havoc of war. He also described the many thousands of women at work in the munitions plants of this and other countries. The hostess houses, concerning which there was so much misunder- standing. were described by the speak ar and their particular function out lined. ,nis is one side of the Y. w. C. A work" said Dr. Francis, that arouses ! prejudice when first heard of. and the one that catches them all when they know more about it. The hostess house is the only home-like place in the camp, a place where a soldier may meet his mother. sister, sweetheart or other woman relative. A place where d | mother may bid good-by to her son. pr. Francis asked the mothers Tn the audience who had sons in the army to 1 hold up their hands. More than a score of hands were raised.
 q don't have to say anything more about the need of hostess houses to | vnr" declared the speaker.
 l The ready response in money assist ance for this work of the Y. w. C. A., l in all the towns and cities he has visit ed was explained by Dr: Francis when he stated that cards would be distrib- uted among the audience on Whlch pledges could be written. Only to those who asked for the cards would they Dc given, the speaker explained.
 But before going further with the cards Dr. Francis said he wished the people to listen to Sergeant Dunlap oi the Canadian army who is in Phoenix on recruiting duty. Sergeant Dunlar ! talked for ten minutes in which he told 1 of the dire need of hostess houses where the young men in the army could get a touch of home atmosphere. Es- l pecially would the American young man be in need of the services of the hostess houses when he reached 1 France, the sergeant explained Ser geant Dunlap was given an ovation al his conclusion.
 Applause greeted the reading of the amounts subscribed when the cards were collected. Several contributions of $100 were made, and numerous one: of $50. The Business Birls' club gave s10o. The total of s2,214 was secured in only few minutes. Those with de layed contributions were instructed tt the local Y w. c. A.

QUEST|ONNA|RES
 ARE BEING MAILED

Even though yesterday was Sunday, there was no let-up in the work of the local draft board sending out the questionnaires to the men between the ages of 21 and 31, registered under the selective draft law. The work was begun on Saturday and that day the book of questions was mailed to all registrants not now in service as classed as deserters, from No. 1 to No. 367, inclusive. Yesterday the ques tionnaire was mailed to registrants from No. 36S to No. 701, inclusive.
 It is a big task to go over the entire registration list. Each name must be checked back to ascertain whether or not the person so designated has not been taken into the service, either under the first call or by enlistment. There are others who may have been called and who failed to respond and are classed as deserters with a price upon their heads. No notices are sent 10 these.
 Then there are instances where a registrant has changed his address since registering. Unless the board has come into possession of the new address the questionnaire is sent to the original addres and the man interested mus. take his chances of receiving it. It is uD lo him 10 get it in one way or another.
 The work of the local board does not consist in simply addressing an en- velope to each registrant and enclos- ing one of the pamphlets bearing the | long list of questions. Each question naire must have the registrants name written in together with his number And when this is done that particular questionnaire can be used by no other person than the one whose name ap- pears thereon.
 | It is expected that the work of mail l ing the questionnaires will require several more days, as it has only fairly started.
