WAR PROSPECT is HELPING
BASEBALL IN UNITED STATES

NEW YORK, March 21-The pros
pect of the entry by the United States
into the war is doing good for baseball
even if it is knocking the lid off every
thing else. The military aspect Of
training camps and the patriotic utter
ances of many men connected with the
national game is giving it stimulus
not shown since the days before the
battle with the Federal league.
Baseball seemingly is reaching the
most rational level it has touched
since the Athletics used to clock off a
pennant season. Federal leagues are
dead and forgotten and Dave Fultz has
long since ceased to clutter up the at
mosphere and the magnate's dreams
with threats of what the baseball play
ers fraternity will do.
Players drilling training camps and
learning how to help if the country ey-
er becomes involved in conflict is
turning more than one mans head
toward the sports page where in years
past he would have passed it up. Ban
Johnson probably never did more to
stimulate interest than when he de-
cided favorably upon the military

GETTING A LIST OF ALL PRO-
GERMAN SYMPATHIZERS

ATLANTA, Ca, March 21.-A list of
every man with violent pro-German
sympathies in the district from Biz
mingham, Alabama through Atlanta
and including cities in this territory
wherever war materials are being
made, is being compiled by secret ser
vice men, according to an apparently
trustworthy statement made here.
The secret service men, it is said,
are quietly under instructions from
Washington, and are making the list
merely as a precautionary measure n
case the United States is after all
forced into war with the Teutonic al
lies.
The Birmingham district is of more
Importance than Atlanta in this con-
nection as there are more iron and
steel plants in that territory than in
Georgia.
The governments idea seems to ne
that attempts might be made to ham
per industrial plants in the production
of war materials. The list, it is said,
does not include people who are simply
pro-German in their sympathy, but
only those whose feelings are so "vio-
ent" that they might be moved to
commit some actual deed.

Beyond my window ledge l see
The roofs across the way,
Their chimneys silhouetted sharp
Against the ashen day
A trail of smoke of darker hue
High up the cloud-way swings,
And then-white pigeons skurry by
On silent, silken wings.
A dull, disheartening scene; and yet
This lesson we may learn;
Far down the chimney's blackened
threats
The hearth fires softly burn,
From stair to stair down every fight
They keep the secret fast
OF burned-out ash or rudy glow
Starved hearts or love at last.
And blackened roofs are shielding
tents
Where hide from passing ken
The primrose joys of hope and peace
Or sin of soul-wrecked men
Who, like the caravans of old,
Rest in their tents a day.
And then DER times unchartered
sands
Slip silently away.
All, sordid roofs and chimney tops
Up there in silhouette.
You keep a thousand loves and lies
And ghosts of old regrets!
The while the pigeons on the caves
with snowy, folded wings,
Bear witness that mid soil and CRIME
May live the cleaner things.

IOs ANCELESMAN ENTHUSIASTIC
 OVER SHOW WHICH HAs CLOSED

That the auto show which closed last night surpassed any similar eX- hibtion ever staged in q city under one hundred thousand population IS the opinion of Harold L. Arnold, pres iGcnt of the Los Angeles Motor Deal CTS association ana distributor for Hlmdson and Dodge ears in that city. Arnold was in the city yesterday hay ing mace the trip from Los Angeles for the express purpose of visiting the show.
 surprised at the excellence Of the auto show. Never have l seen a show which has equalled che one staged here in point of general appearance and exhibit of models for a city of anywhere near this size. The show has been most tastefuny decorated and the arrangements of exhibits placed in such a manner as to show off each individual car in the pest manner possible The exhibit is well worth the time of anybody to visit. Worth going many miles to see.
 Arnold was visitor to the Sar Frs ncisco auto show held recently and which attracted much attention as being the most 3aat tiful exhibition of decorative art ever staged as al. auto show The decorative ccheme was carried out on the lines ol the Panama Pacific exposition, the great civic auditorium neirg transformed into a wonderland of beauty. Great drpirgs of buIlaD covered the sides of the building interspersed with mammoth mural paintings depictins inc growth Of the automobile indus try. On the ceiling of a great dome had been draped with the exquisite color harmony of the exposition Row on rev of beautifully designed stand arGs surmOunted by figures upholdins cOlored shades within which renoSeC the lights cast a wonderful radiance of indirect lighting over the building
 The cars too. on exhibit. were the fineste product of Americas automO- bile factories and many of them .ere especially constructed for exhibition purposes.
 Arnold expressed the belief that the PtoeniX show, while of course no equaIlirg the greater shows in orna- mental features of cars and decora tion. still is of greater direct benefit to the dealers exhibiting. Here, tn. regular stock models are on display The puthc is enabled to look thes, over while they are all together ant to make comparisons bet0een th' various makes in a perfectly u,;biase, mTnrer. They are not blinded 5y tn glitter and unusual beauty of special lv constructed models which would nc he nu~rhase sed anyway

 Last fall however, we gave our own show The Los Angeles Motor Dealers association had charge of all details The expense of the show before open ing was s2S,000 which was contributed by the cealers There were POT pleas ure vehicles represented upon the floor when the show opened. We started out with. one large exhibit floor and by tho oDering night had been forced to erect four additional tents t. rouse the many models shown Also the many accessory deal ers had to be excluded. At the close of the show we refunded $13,000 to (hr dealers 'Tha show Vas an enor- nous success and we are still feeling tho ros"it.
