ter-Take German Front Line.

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France, June 30.-Under protecting
concentration of artillery fire Canadian

vance the British line has been carried

alton ports. Liners suddenly were
taken of their regular runs with no
announcement. A great armada was
made ready, supplied, equipped as
transports, loaded with men and guns
and sent to sea, and all with virtually
no mention from the press.
Pershing Reaches England.
There were q thousand other &C
tivities afoot In the department at
the time. All the business Of pre-
pairing for the military registration
OF 100000 men, Of providing quar-
tiers and instructors for nearly $4,000
prospective officers, of finding arms
and equipment for millions Of troops
yet to be organized, of expanding the
regular army to full war strength, OF
preparing and recruiting the National
Guard for war was at hand.
General Pershing dropped quietly
into the department and set up the
first headquarters of the American
expeditionary forces In a little Of
flee, hardly large enough to hold him
self and his personal staff. There,
with the aid of the general staff, of
Secretary Baker and Of the chiefs
OF the war department bureaus, the
plans were worked out.
Announcement of the sending of
the force under General Pershing was
made May Is. Then there came a
day when General Pershing was no
longer in the department. Officers
OF the general staff suddenly were
missing from their desks. No word
OF this was reported. Then came word
from England that Pershing and his
officers were there. All was carried
through without publicity.
Cover All Movements.
Other matters relating to the ex-
petition were carried out without a
word Of publicity. The regiments
that were to go with General Per-
shing were all selected before he left
and were set moving toward the sea-.
coast from the border.
Other regiments also were moving
north, east and west to the points
where they were to be expanded, and
the movement Of the troops who were
to be first in France were obscured in
all this hurrying OF troop trains over
the land.
While his troops were embarking or
steaming toward their destination Gem
eral Pershing and his staff, supple
mented by a special corps Of general
staff officers, have been busy In France
preparing the way for the new army
that is to fling itself soon against the
German lines. :
All Details Arranged.
The camp sites have been selected,
the details Of / e final training to be
given before the move to the front be-
gins have been worked out and the
question Of supply and transportation
lines studied.
Regiments of the national army,
composed Of railway workers and en-
gineers, will aid in that work. They
too have been created in a few weeks
time.
The American troops will be an In
dependent force, cooperating with the
allies.
The soldiers themselves, that Is,
the men trained to land service only,
''the finest body OF troops in the
world" as they have been character
tied, were picked, in so far as possible,
from the men who were with Pershing
on the border.

ARE
ON THEIR WAY
National Leaguers Speeding
Toward Chicago for
Joint Meeting.

New York, Dec. l2-Club owners of
the National League are on their
way to Chicago today for q Joint
meeting with the magnates of the
American League. The senior league
wound up its annual meeting at a
late hour last night after spending
twelve hours in discussion of all
phases OF wartime baseball, and II
was said today that the owners are
agreed on policies to be followed.
A schedule Of 154 games for period
of five and one-half months for the
1913 season and a players limit of
either eighteen or twenty players are
certain to be adopted at the confer
ence to be held between the two
major leagues at Chicago tomorrow,
according to the statement Of one of
the best-informed men in baseball
here today.
1t was declared the reduction of the
player limit would go through despite
the objections certain to be raised by
Comiskey, Of the White Sox. and
Rupert, Of the Yankees
A feature of the closing session Of
the magnates here was their indorse-
ment Of President John K. Tener's
plan for a change in the conduct OF
the world series. Under the new GUS
tom the first seven clubs in each
pennant race, together with the play
ers, would share in the receipts. the
teams finishing last alone being left
out in the cold. The new plan would
give the pennant-winnins-- the
most generous share, but the players
Of twelve other teams would receive
a reward on a graduating scale in
accordance with the finish made by
their clubs.

BOOSTS
HIS FINANCES
Quakers' President Clears
Sum of $4,000 on
Alex Killifer Deal.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13-Subtract $50,
the draft cost price, from $500. the
reported selling price, and you have
81, go, the actual net profit realized
by the Phillies on the sale of Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander to the Chi
cago Cubs.
Though neither President William
F. Baker, OF the Phils. nor Owner
Weeghman, Of the Cubs, would men
ton the actual cash involved in the
gigantic baseball deal that made a
winner of Chicago and put the House
OF Moran in the class of the Brook
lyn Dodgers, IL not the Pirates, it
was learned from a semi-authorita-
tive source today that Alex the Great.
when put on the block, brought S45,-
900 and Bill KiIlifer approximately
81, coo.
Delving further into dollars it is
found that Catcher Killifer cost the
Phils s.250. Sold for $4,000. Kill
fer netted the Phils a profit Of moth
ing less than S1ST50. This makes a
total profit OF s6S, 900 realized by the
PIhls on the greatest battery in
the land, barring, of course, the field
artillery.
And sSS, 600 represents only the .ac-
tual profit. There is no way to
measure what Alexander and Killifer
meant to the Phils in the matter of
drawing the desirable dollar at the
gate in the seven seasons they have
worn the Philadelphia colors.

FELT SORRY FOR
NO. FOUR OAR

New York, Dec. 13-Jim Rice, coach
Of Columbia's crew, tells a story of q
football player in an Eastern college
who was pressed into service as an
oarsman. The first day the embryo
oarsman reported for practice II
seemed that everything he did was
wrong. He had been assigned to row
No. 5 in the boat, and all he heard
from the coach during the afternoon
was:
Hey! No. 5. you bonehead-Don't
hold your oar like that" or NO. s.!
How many times do l have TO tell
you not to place your feet like that?"
The following day he was moved
down one position in the boat, but
didn't do any better. and the coach
nagged at him continually. That
night a friend asked him how he was
getting along with his rowing.
Well" he replied, 81 had a tough
time the first day and got bawled
out lot. but / did fine today. I feel
sorry for No. 4, whoever he is, be-
cause the coach rode him 20 beat the
band today"
