Asked as to how he reached this con clusion, MT. Hermann said that two of the clubs in the league. Buffalo and Kansas City, had forfeited their fran cfises and that the league in his opin- ion had ceased to be a going concern
 The witness further testified there was nothing in organized baseball law to prevent new leagues from being formed. He added that the F'ederals had organize da minor league, the Colonial, in New England, and was told by Federal league officials they intended to organize others as train ing schools for the Federal lea gue on the same plan as minors are operated under the national agreement of or ganized baseball

MICHIGAN BACK IN
 CONFERENCE AGAIN
Middle West Colleges Group Together and Will Hereafter Be Known as the Biq Ten.

The Big Nine is dead. Long live the Big Ten.
 After II years of absence from the fold, the University of Michigan is again a member of the conference. The Wolverines were extended a welcome by a unanimous vote of the faculty representatives at the regular meeting in a resolution to President Hutchins and the faculty at Ann Arbor to re- Sume athletic relations.
 All that remains is for Michigan to say Thank you,' and draw up a schedule. which is something that may not happen soon. The regents of the University of Michigan voted to return to the conference at their last meeting but at the same time called off all athletic schedules.
 The resolution from Ann Arbor sig nifying the intention to return to the a, few days, but the Wolverines may not be seen in competition until the close of the war. Prof R. W. Aigler from Michigan was present at the meeting but would not speak regarding the future of sports at Ann Arbor.
 Michigan bolted from the conference after the close of the season of 1905 because of the difference Of views re- garding rules. mainly in relation to the training table. The Wolverines de- sired to keep their athletes on a special diet, and the other schools, not favor ing the move, because 1t was an ex- pensive proposition, passed a rule pro- hibiting the table. Michigan withdrew before the next football season but for several years maintain athletic :rela- tions with Minnesota until the rule was passed by the conference prohibit ing any member playing a team which had left the Big Nine. This was a direct slap at the Wolverines.
 The admission of Ohio again raised the number of the conference to nine. and 1t remained at that number until the return of Michigan.

 The war was begun by the mili- tary masters of Germany, who proved to be also the masters of Austria garded nations as peoples men, wom en, and children of like blood and frame as themselves, for whom gov ernments existed and in whom gov ernments had their life. They have regarded them merely as serviceable organizations which they could by force or intrigue bend or corrupt to their own purpose. They have re- ular, and the peoples who could be overwhelmed by force, as their nat ural tools and instruments of domi- nation. Their purpose has long been :LNOWed- The statesmen or other Ia- tions, to whom that purpose was in credible paid little attention: regard cd what German professors eXpound- ed in their classrooms and German writers set forth to the world as the goal of German policy as rather the dream of minds detached from prac- tical affairs, as preposterous private conceptions of German destiny, than as the actual plans of responsible rul- CTS: but the rulers of Germany them selves knew all the while what con crete plans, what well advanced in trigues lay back of what the profes- sors and the writers were saying, and were glad to go forward unm Olested, filling the thrones of Balkan states with German princes, putting German officers at the service Of Turkey to drill her armies and make interest with her government, developing plans of sedition and rebellion in India and Egypt setting their fires in Persia.
