AMERICAN FLAGS
MUCH IN EVIDENCE

PARIS, June q American flags
were worn by great many of the
Partisan sewing girls during the recent
strike. Asked why they chose the Star
Spangled Banner as the standard of
their revolt, one of them replied; Why
because we demand the 'semaine ang-
laise" (the English week with Satur-
day half holiday.
Then wouldn't the British flag be
more APPROPRIATED is was asked.

(the stars and stripes are much more
becoming"
That was real Rue de la Paix reasr
on, but there was another, entirely un :
CONNECTED with coquetry; it was the
new meaning the United States OF
America have acquired in France.
To the French common people in
general, who travel little and are not
very strong on geography, America had
long been a country in the vague dis
lance, celebrated for it's billionaires
and from whence long absent relations
returned with fabulous wealth to save
the financial situation of their families.
The Uncle from America became
Legendary through popular fiction and
sentimental drama. George Washing
ten, Lincoln and Wilson are now TAX
ing his place in the French mind.
France learned much about the Unit
ed States during the first two years of
the war through American motor amb-
ulances and hospitals, American COM
forts and relief of all>kinds sent to SOL
diers and civilian sufferers, AMI
through American tobacco of which
nearly every soldier had a share. She
was all ready to pour out her heart to
America, which she has done freely
since the United States became her
ally.
No one in France has the advantage
of the Partisan, sewing girl or "midin-
ette," as they call her, in either senti-
ment or patriotism; no strike in the
French capital ever had SO much senti-
ment mixed with it; consequently there
was nothing more natural than their
choice of the colors of their new ally
Music dealers say that it was sthe
'"midinettes" who helped most to ex-'
baust the available supply Of American
national airs in sheet music in the first
few days after the United States de.
clared war on Germany. The sewing
girls could be seen during their noon
hour at certain street crossings and UP
tranquil courts, gathered around that
old familiar institution of Paris, the
street music vender With sheet of
words without music in hand they
were learning a French translation OF
the "Star Spangled Banner" to the air
played by the music vendor on his
violin. None of the Parliamentary,
Sorobonne, Academic or official func-
lions, was a greater tribute to the
United States of America!
Many of them can hum the Star
Spangled Banner" Columbia" is less
known. and America" utterly neglect
ed because the air is the same as that
OF God save the King" Yankee Doc
dle," on the other hand, is something
of favorite, being familiar to the
French people as the air of an old
French revolutionary song.

WILL BUY BONDS

Believing it to be the patriotic duty
of every citizen to aid the Government
by making the Liberty Loan a great
success, President George w. Stevens,
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
and the Hooking Valley Railway, has
made arrangements with the banks in
the cities and towns along the lines of
those companies to enable employees
to subscribe for the bonds on an in
stallment basis.
On account of the fact that. the
bonds afford an unusual opportunity
to be of substantial assistance to the
country as well as providing an alb
solutely safe investment for savings
bearing high rate of interest when
the tax exemption feature Is consider
ed, Mr.. Stevens has urged every en-
ploye to subscribe for them to the ex-
tent Of his ability.

women orators will speak at street
corners through the country districts.
Thounsands of telephone switchboard
operators have agreed to spend part
of that day calling prospective pur-
chasers of bonds, and asking other

WHITE SOX SHOWING
Puzzle TO.EXPERTS
Club. Last in Batting. Plays Strong
Game Behind Steady Pitching.

The Chicago White Sox compose q
team that Is one OF the Quandaries
Of baseball. Is the team a great
overrated team2 That is the ques-
Since Eddie Collins, former an
aroundR star OF the Athletics. was
sold to Chicago In the winter OF 1914
Is the White Sox have been strong
pennant contenders. They were beat
en- by both Boston and Detroit in
1915 and 1916 respectively, but each
year the White Sox finished with a
percentage above 900 and were in the
fight until week before the end Of
the season.
The team acquired Joe jackson, for
merly Ty Cobb's leading batting rival,
In the middle of the 1915 season.
With those pitcher-thumpers, Collins
and jackson, in the lineup Rowland
was supposed to go through all oppo-
ed manager in baseball, both in Chi
cago and in the other American
League cities. 1t frequently has been
said that Mack, McGraw or Stallings
would easily have won the pennant
with either the 1915 or 1916 Chicago
Americans.
on the other hand, many persons
are Of the opinion that the Sox have
been overrated. This year they pre-
sent a strange angle. Supposed to
be one of the hardest-hitting teams
in baseball, the club is last In the
American League in hitting. yet Is
high up in the race The team Is
playing great ball.
The team started the present sea-
son amid a blast of trumpets. One
Chicago writer, a man of ability and
usually aV conservative scribe, wrote
from the Chicago training camp: 1T
will be q miracle II the White SoX
are beaten out for the pennant this
season."
That started a laugh in the diff
ferent camps, especially where the
New York, Boston and Detroit teams
were chartered. The SoX started off
in great style, but with the season
a few weeks old they ran into a
dreadful slump and everything was
going wrong. Chicago fans started
to get the hammer out for Rowland
the miracle story was given the horse
laugh all around the circuit. But
then the White Sox again pulled them
selves together and started to win
with astonishing regularity on two,
three and four hits a day. Great
pitching by Cicotte, Faber, Russell
and Williams is turning the trick.
Eddie Collins, starting his twelfth
season, evidently is going back rap
idly. Eddie, a 80 to .365 hitter c
few years ago. has been unable to
hit above 20 so far. Collins hasn't
hit under 300 since 1908, and will do
better, but Eddie isn't the player he
was. Neither will Joe Jackson ever
hit .40S again. Then Schalk, former
ly fine batter, isn't hitting a lick
new shortstop, is batting below .l5O.
There you have the White Sox. just
how good they really are nobody
seems to know.

Four Teams Are Ready
For New Major League

Milwaukee. June 10-There has been
so much talk going around the Ameri-
can Association circuit about a third
major league that the fans are rather
anxious to know just what cities are
TO be included and what will become
OF the clubs that are dropped.
President Timme, of the local club.
says that when the talk was started
several combinations were proposed.
The largest cities of the two lea cues
are to be given preference. From the
association Milwaukee, Kansas City.
indianapolis, and Toledo will be the
teams that will make up the Western
end of the third major. This would
eliminate Minneapolis, ST. Paul. Louis
vile, and Columbus. Louisville would
be turned over to the Southern
League, while the chances are the
Western League would be reorganized
and would take in the twin cities. Just
what disposition would be made of
Columbus was not determined
In. the East Baltimore. Toronto,
Rochester. and possibly Newark would
be the cities chosen.
