ASSOCIATION SHOULD
KEEP IT'S HEAD UP.
By H. c. HAMILTON.

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 1S.--The Am
erican association, called the strong
ast minor league in the country,
should have thought it over pretty
carefully before standing Sponsor
for the statement that unless things
changed quickly it would have TO
close its gates. 1t recently was re-
narted in New York and elsewhere
that all arrangements had been made
to end the season. disband the clubs
and wait for another year.
10 have closed the gates in May
would have been disastrous-not on
is for the present year, but for sue
eeeding seasons. The work Of years
would have been wiped out. Re-
sardless OF the fact that protection
may have been granted by the Ma
tioniai association, outlaw owners
would have started something in
these cities, and doubtless are lay
ing plans now to g,'ab off these ex~
cp1lent baseball towns If the oppor-
unity presents itself
President Thomas ]. Hickey com
mitted a grave error, in the opinion
Of many persons. when he dropped

to plunge all over the field in free

Especial to The Times

WASHlNGTON, D. o., NOV. "a.
The war department is making
every effort to extend to Ameri-
can troops in France the same
protection from alcohol, vice and
disease that has been thrown
around them in this country.
To establish similar conditions
in France or Britain involves deli
cate diplomatic negotiations and
questions of legal jurisdiction and
national sovereignty.
To give American military au-
thorities extensive police powers
In strips of foreign territory may
require legislation by the British
and French parliaments.
The request will, or has been
made, and the negotiations fall to
the state department.
II Is to be emphasized to the al
lied governments that in request
ing such powers, the American
government Is not reflecting I'm
any way on the measures the al
lies take in their territory, but
simply as a matter of military
tits desirable that in
the American zone of operations
the American authority be made
fairly comprehensive.

British Artillery Now
Thought to Be in Action

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Over near
ly Is miles of an arc around Cam
brai British troops were threaten
ing the secondary defenses of the
Hindenburg line today in battle
that front dispatches described as
growing hourly in violence.
The Germans now have picked
storm troops, hurriedly drawn
from half dozen sectors of the
west front, in action bitterly con-
testing every inch of the line.
Presumably the German depot
city was under direct fire of Brit
ish guns today. Gen. Byng has
had sufficient time In which to
bring up his big artillery, capable
of bridging the two and three
quarters mile gap between the
most advanced British positions
and the city.
The Germans are concentrating
thei rcounter attacks on Moeuvres,
Bourbon wood and Crevcour, the
three points roughly forming the
angle of the British wedge.

forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
II you have q bad taste In your

100000 persons now in prisons,
tails and reformatories are being
worked>out by the war bureau OF
the national committee on prisons

Inmates OF prisons now consti-
tute the largest single unit of
men not productivity employed.
1t Is hoped to make these men
not merely self-sustaining but u
positive war asset.
In some communities 1t Is
planned to develop great prison
farms where the men may produce
foodstuffs.
One plan is to use prison labor
in connection with the retaining

ance of which has just been en-
phasized by the geological survey.

GERMANS STRIVING
TO RETAIN Cambria


WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, Nov. 24.-Crown
Prince Rupprecht put forth every
ounce of his army's strength to-
day to stem the British advance
and save Cambria.
The German depot city is full
of German troops. Aviators re-
ported its suburbs bristling with
massed field guns. Hurried de-
lenses are being thrown up in
every direction. Germany does
not propose to surrender 1t with
out the most desperate resistance.
Nevertheless, the city's use as
a rail center is finished. 1t has
been evacuated of it's stores. Its
railroads are now being crammed
with reinforcements MIXED from
among exhausted German divis-
ions who had been sent back of
the lines in rest billets.
Various parts of the whole west
ern front have contributed every
man that could be spared.
Today the British lines, still
forging their steel wedge, menaced
the entire German salient between
Cambrai and the Sensee valley.
Withdrawal of British forces
from Fontaine Notre Dame was a
case of pure bad luck. The COM
panies defending the position were
short of ammunition when they
were attacked by three battalions.
The position was an important
one, since it0ndangered the Ger
man hold on Bourbon wood and
the village nearby, both of which
are on the high ground and afford
a sweeping view of the country In
all directions.

"The only sugar, lard, flour,
salt, milk and coffee that we had
came from America.
"And the Prussians frequently
stole this.
when America entered the war
she took England's place as the
most hated of nations by the Ger
mans. The Prussians often cursed
America - declaring the whole
war would have been over now If
1t hadn't been for England and
America"

They seized everything they took
a fancy to. They left the French
to shift for themselves.
"They acted as II God was theirs
and nobody else's."
