GALLIA WILL MAKE
TRIP TO See GRIFF
Texan Looking for Bonus if He Has
Successful Season This Year.

Bert Gallia, the curve ball artist OF the
Nationals, from Texas. will makesa trip
10 this city from his home to talk over
terms with Manager Clark Griffith be-
fore train time to the Augusta camp on
Wednesday, February 2s
Gallia, although a member of the fra
ternity, has been willing to sign with the
local American Leaguers during the past
wartime trouble, but he believes that
ne should be given a bonus II he wins
the required number Of games.
The Old Fox does not expect any
trouble with the Texan. and will willing
ly offer him a bonus Last season Bert
hnished with higher percentage in the
number Of games won and lost than Wal
ter Johnson, but he did not register as
nigh an average in the number OF earned
runs gathered OF his delivery.
Bert insisted that he would rather talk
over the question of this bonus before
reporting to the Augusta training camp,
and II will not be surprising to have the
Texan in our midst at any time.
Next to the "Smokebal King Ga,lia is
the best right handler that GrifT has on
his list Of fingers. and it is an easy bet
that the "Old Fox" will come to terms
with him.
Manager Griffth yesterday received
word from Carl Sawyer, the only tumb-

Republican principles, - wsn ~ loyalty

tho conduct Of tho war and In the INST.
ter Of appropriations"
True, senators elected next year VIII
not qualify for work until March. 4
1919, and, unless Q special session Of
that Congress II called, win not begin
work until December Of that year. But
the length Of the war 10 today NO more
than a guess. Tho conflict may rage
for several years yet. So that the war
is to be considered along with funda-
mental republican principles In the
pledging Of nominees.
The present outlook is for harder
battle for republican control Of the next
Senate than In the House. Last years
break as to the House was q ffty-Afty
affair between the two old parties. The
democrats organized tho body by the
exercise Of better management and the
display of more confidence. But tho
democrats maintained a firm hold on
the Senate, and will go into the next
campaign with that advantage.
The contest for both houses win be
fought on partisan lines. Tho repubA-
cans will take no more pains to see that
their nominees are grounded In funda-
mental republican principles than the
darno,roto 1v;ll that fheir nom{nAAa are
grounded in fundamental democratic
principles. And the socialists, who will
try for a number Of House seats, win Sc
lect their candidates with a similar ex-
action as to party loyalty. 1t is going
to be "a horse race" everywhere; and
even now, twelve months in advance,
contradictions are going on with respect
to the salient features.

SNffAASos ssAAA sAAS ASS6 S404 6Co14OAs
That Congress at the regular session,
beginning in December, will consider
the question of further large provisions
for the prosecution Of the war is the
general belief. In fact, the belief ex-
listed before the special session closed.
And even then there was speculation
about how much additional money would
be necessary. ''',
It will be remembered that Mr.. Mar
tin, the leader Of the Senate, expressed
tho opinion that the governments ne
eessities and obligations might call In
the near future for provisions Of one
hind or another covering fifty billions
Of dollars. The sum was SO enormous
that, except for the distinguished source,
the opinion might not have attracted at
tention.
But, coming from the leader Of tho
Senate, and man greatly respected for
his views about business matters, the
opinion did attract attention; and it was
challenged by Mr.. sherley, second ON
tie House appropriations committee.
