PLAYERS TOO FRIENDLY
Western Base Ball League Will Try
to Stop Fraternizing
Next Season.

OMAHA, Neb.. January Enclosures
to discourage "fraternizing of players"
in an effort to minimize discomfort and
revolt against rules were taken at a
meeting here by club owners of the
Western Base Ball League.
Clubhouses for visiting players,
which have been maintained since the
league was organized were ordered
abandoned because they tended to pro-
mote a too friendly" feeling among
opposing players. A rule that visit
ing team shall not appear on the field
earlier than fifty minutes before the
game was adopted for the same an
nounced reason. Club owners said it
had been their experience that about a
month after opening of the season the
knocking of the league by the players
got around to the fans and caused de-
creased attendance"
Under a ruling adopted tonight visit
ing teams must parade the streets to
the parks in uniforms" for the purpose,
it was said, of advertising.

The British in their attack to-day

Arras.
More than 100000 pounds of
high explosives was blown UP under
the German forward positions. This,
the most gigantic mining operation
in the history of war, spread panic
among the Germans.
The British also captured impor-

REGISTRATION In
BOURBON 1853
YOUNG MEN OF COUNTY RE-
SP0ND TO CALL TO ARMS IN
WAR AGAINST GERMAN TYR
RAINY.

Responding eagerly and willingly
to the call to arms in aiding the sup
preston of tyrrany, the divine right
of king" absolutism, autocracy, and
the worldwide horror in which
"Germany's Mailman" has plunged,
1853 Bourbon county men of the
military age, went to the various reg
istration booths in the county Tues
day, and were recorded as patriots.
Registration began at seven
o'clock in the morning, and the Off
Gals were kept busy until nine
o'clock at night. The registration
was very different from the regis
tration which takes place annually
preliminary to November election.
In the first place only men between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty
one, inclusive, were accepted for reg
istration. In the second place, the
majority of those who registered did
so with the full knowledge of the
fact that the registration would be
the first step toward military SER
vice that will probably terminate on
the battlefelds of France.
There was no attempt anywhere
in the city or county to influence
young men against obeying the reg
istration or the drafting law. On the
contrary, many a mother, sacrificing
the maternal instinct, exhorted their
sons to offer their services to their
county.
The registration IN both city and
county exceeded expectations, and
it seemed to be spontaneous and with
out murmur or untoward incident
No one between the specified ages
was exempted from registration. In
several instances fathers and mothers
accompanied their sons to the regis
tration places, and stood proudly
though perhaps tearfully by while
the process of registration was being
conducted. They gave no outward
manifestation or sign of fear at the
thought that the organization of any
army of democracy might bring be-
reavement to them. One feature of
the registration was the refusal of
the young men to make any answer
to the question: do you claim ex-
emption?" They all apparently en-
tered fully into the very spirit of the
law, and were content to leave the
question of exemption to the future.
They only wanted to go willingly on
record as being ready to do their
share, whatever that might be. The
colored people were there in num-
bers, and did we'll.
Based on a population basis for
the city and county, it is estimated
that about seventy-five young men
will be taken on the selective draft
call for service in the training camps
about Sept. /, at which time they
will be wearing the field service uni
forms of the United States Army.
The registration figures for the
twenty precincts in the county, Paris
included, are as follows:
