Country and Great Britain.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The sup
Elementary and separate response Of
Great Britain to President Wilson Is
peace note of Dee. Is was generally re
gardcd here today as removing the
last hope that the recent peace move
mrnt had any chance of success in the
near future. This note, in its amplifi-
cation of what had been said by the
entente in the joint reply to President
Wilson, made 1t clear. it was the opin-
ion here, that the allies have deter
mined to have no peace that would not
be permanent, and that permanent
peaco could BE assured only by the at
taiumcnt of objects TO which the cen
tr;l powers would never agree until
forced to do so.
Opinion differs here as to what is
tie most important feature of the
British note. Some hold that the in
Sistencc on no peace that will not be
permanent stands out To others the
most Interesting feature is the disclo-
sure that the allies have determined
tE&t Alsace-Lorane must be restored

Credit for the invention Of the shine
ball goes to Eddie Cicotte. the veteran
pitcher Of the White Sox. but several
pitchers in the American league were
in on the secret. The wonderful early
season showing made by Cicotte caused
rival managers to suspect that the foxy
veteran was using something to assist
in making the ball do queer tricks on
its way 70 the plate. And when Eddie
kept right on winning they were sure
Of it.
How could p veteran like Cicotte get
by with so many victories If he wasn't
pulling a new trick in pitching? II
couldn't be did. said the suspicion :
ones. so they started to watch Eddie.
with the result that his secret was IN
covered.
Eddie used a little l|icorice in much
the same manner az a spitbal pitcher
uses slippery elm. But instead OF using
il to create a slick spot on the ball Ed
die used it to make one side of the ball
clean and white, and ct the same time
caused a slight swelling OF the cover
as a result of the moisture. And Eddie
got results. The ball performed some
uncanny gyrations on its way TO the
platter and proved even more effective
than a good splitter.
Clarke Griffith. Fielder Jones and Lee
Foil were the biggest kickers against
the shine ball. They claimed tina Ci-
cote. Danforth and Russell were all
using il. and they attributed the success
or the Whit Sox 10 its use. Ban John
son got so many complaints-though he
found nothing radically wrong-that he
finally decided 10 put the ban on the
