The Belgians have pushed forward
at Dixmude and the French have driy-
en- great dent into the German front
between Scissors and Rheims.
From Lens to Waterloo is 20 miles.
At the rate of the past few weeks,
the Germans in their retirement would
just about reach that position by mid.
June.
Should they stand at Waterloo, and
be defeated. they would have to evacu-
etc all the Belgian coast. Brussels and
Antw erp also would be untenable.
That is why German defeat at Wa.
terloo would end tho kaiser's dream of
reaching the English channel. Just as
the defeat of Bonaparte by the British
and Germans in 1915 ended the great
Frenchman's dream Of world-empire.

College base ball may suffer next
spring. That is the one sport in which
great deterioration may be noted as
a result of war conditions. Base ball
never has been as successful in col
1eges as elsewhere. and in most insti-
tutions it has been a financial drain
on the treasures OF the athletic asso-
Citations.
University of Pittsburgh already has
started the ball rolling in direction
unfavorable to base bail, announce
ment having been made by that insti-
tuition that il would not have nine
next spring. The western Pennsyl-
vanians probably do not see their way
clear to finance base ball. receipts In
foot ball having fallen off considerably.
Just what institutions will not have
base ball teams are not known. The
great majority are going ahead in the
arrangement of their schedules. but
many are inserting clauses in their
contracts which will let them out IL
conditions become so unusual as to war
rant declaring off the games.
Princeton, Yale and Harvard are un-
likely to be represented, but besides
those Pittsburgh is the only one so far
to declare a suspension OF its diamond
activities. Colleges as rule never
have been any too partial to base ball.
and it would not be a surprise to see a
general curtailmeni Of schedules in that
sport. In fact. il is extremely doubt
full il any Institution will list as many
games as in previous years.

Says Base Ball Is Indispens-
able to American Life.

NEW YORK, December 15.-Hoiding
.hat base ball is such an important
factor in American life that it is in
1ispensable." John X. Tener, president
Of the National League, in his annual
address to the organization last Tues
day, made public here today. urged the
owners to maintain just as high
standard Of play as possible during the
war. He declared himself confident
that by fostering. protecting and ad-
vaRcing the game" base bail would be
more popular than ever after the war.
with respect to the interest the
American people will take in their ma
tional game next year" he said, II do
not hesitate to express my confidence
in their loyal attachment TO it, 1t Is
my firm conviction that the interest
is inherent, that it will be made mani
fest at the proper time and that you
should make provision to cater to it
with little less detail. care and atten-
ton than in former years.
Clubs on Same Basis.
OF playing personnel Mr.. Tener said;
Already every club has felt the
effect of our national emergency, but
| am satisfied that the national call in
its ultimate working will leave all
clubs on practically the same basis as
far as playing strength is concerned,
Therefore / strongly recommend the
advisa bility of retaining under your
control aN available players until such
a time as 1t may be determined eX-
pedient to dispose OF them because of
failing attendance due to lack of in
terest or that such reserve players are
found wanting in major league skill
and ability.
1T is most important to the welfare
of the National League that it secure
players of exceptional ability and that
it gain it's share of world series vic
tories.
Our patrons are not interested In
your financial gains and losses. but
they are interested a sportsmen in our
national game. For. after all, base
