 Vital Issue at
 Stake Now.
PEOPLE ARE RESTLESS

DATELESS. - External pressure to force Germany to state her war aims having failed, internal condi- tions at the present time threaten to compel the government to issue full statement regarding its aims.
 Chancellor Michaelis must face the government critics in the Reichstag this week, probably to- day, in order to discuss the govern ment's desire.
 It is expected the debate will center on the changes that bureau cracy and army plans have been fla voring in furthering a pan-Ger- man scheme for annexations and in- demnities.

RICkEY STILL AFTER
 HENDRICKS FOR MGR.
Cardinals President Has Not GiV-
 en Up Hope Yet

While Branch Hickey, president of the St. Louis Cardinals, is holding . guessing contest in the Mound City As to who will succeed Miller Higgins a : manager of his team. 1t may be safely said that Hickey still has only one man in mind for the vacancy. He is Jack Hendricks, manager of the 1ndianapo- lis champions of the American aSso- citation, whom Hickey tried to sign to a St. Louis contract at the time of tho recent minor league convention in Louisville. Hickey has high hopes of landing Hendricks for the Cards.
 Hickey made Hendricks fine offer, but Owner McGill, of the Indianapolis club, called a halt, as Hendricks con-- tract as manager of the Indianapolis team has another year to run McGN said he would be willing to tear up the contract if Hickey paid him $15,OO0, which Branch refused to do. and 1t was generally supposed tho Hendricks deal was entirely on ana that Hickey was searching elsewhere for 8 manager.
 This. however. does not seem to bo' the case. According to an official well up in baseball, Hickey. has not given up hope of landing Hendricks as his manager Hickey is an admirer of tho Indianapolis leader and has strong hunch that he is just the kind of man who will go strong in St. Louis.
 McGill Stands fin the Way. /
 Hickey, therefore, has refused to announce his manager, as he is sit- ting tight waiting for something to develop in the Hendricks case. When he first approached Hendricks after the season was over, Hendricks AS- sured Hickey he was free to talk bus ] mess.
 "McGill told me that whenever ! had a chance to advance myself ineoy the majors, he would not stand in my way" Hendricks informed Hickey. Ricky and Hendricks then came to an agreement in the matter of salary. and thought everything was sattsfac- torily arranged, when McGill refused to let out his manager unless he re-, ceived 8 large cash confederation.
 Both Hickey and Hendricks expect 1 McGill to take a different view of tho ] matter when he thinks 1t ovor. Hem dricks has been in his service for quito g. stretch. He managed McGilis Den- yer team before the latter bought tho Indianapolis franchise. It may occur to him that 1t is 8 selfsh thing to stand in the way of former faith l full servant who has a chance to do bigger things in tho big leagues, whaQD- l he will be in a position to galn mora reputation and a greater remunera- ton.
 Hickey. by the way, is willing to make it worth McGill's while to give Hendricks up. While he will not give up $15,00 under prossnt wAF cond1- tions. he may be able to turn over players to Indianapolis which might be just as acceptable.

PLAYERS FOUGHT HARDER
Nate Tufts, Noted Official, Says Teams Displayed More Spirit This Season Than in Past.

Despite the fact that football in terest this season is not as great or as widespread as in the past and that the calibre of the average eleven is not quite up to the standard of the teams of this year are more in- tense fighters than of yore. This inn pression is upheld by Nathan A. Tufts of Brown, one of the best football of ficials in the country, who has officiat- ed this season from Maine down to West Virginia and has had a fine op- portunity to size up teams and en- thusiaSm.
 II have found that the football teams of this season are better fight CTS than past elevens. This is es- pecially true of Pennsylvania, Rut- gers and Syracuse. All three are among the ranking elevens. The fight, I think, is due to the fact that most of the players are new men. With very few veteran players back in the game a fighting spirit has been produced that Is even better and stronger than any that I have ever seen.
 Due no doubt to the fact that liar yard, Yale and Princeton abandoned their series the interest in football this year has not been as general as in the past. However, there is a wholesome enthusiasm in Philadel- phia, Pittsburgh and Syracuse. The great numbers at each of these cities

 Coach Mack will give most of his attention to the development of hurdle and sprint men. Few veterans of any ability in these events have re- turned to the university this year. The coach made it known that the winter work Is important for track men. especially as 1t fits them for the outdoor season in the spring and brings them to high efficiency more quickly.

 Some of the minor leagues have played the double header card to the limit and owe much of their financial trouble to that fact.'
