Speaking of Indoor Sports.


Below THE NEWS gives the rules
for playing the greatest indoor game
ever invented. Persons of either sex
and of any age from six to ninety
may be engaged in it with slight vari-
atoms. 1t may be played at any hour
of the day and at any season of the
year; but it is especially appropriate
for dark, stormy, cold winter even

Congress, has seen the destruction OF

The fact that more American lives
had not been lost, he said, was due
more to the fact that German submar-
inc commanders had exercised "an
unexpected discretion and restraint"
rather than because of the instruc-
tions under which they were acting.
To be unprepared, with Congress out
of session, the President said, would
be most imprudent." Consequently
he asked for authority to act.

IMMEDIATE PEACE.

The people who are demanding an immediate peace
should reflect that the basis Of present territory hold
ngs, this would leave Germany the winner of the war;
Her autocracy would claim that it had made good that
its theory of government had indicated ITSELF that autoc
racy is efficient than democracy and that the
essty Of mtarsm had been thoroughly demonstrated.
Germany would remain on her militaristc basis.
That would make it necessary for all the other great
powers to continue the basis The United States
would not forget Ambassador Gerard's warning, that
Germany proposed to collect the indemnity desired from
the United States 1t also would remember Germany's
aspirations for colonial holdings in Central and South
America. Such holdings would be contrary to American
principles and in defiance of our Monroe Doctrine
Universal service would be necessary in this country
with large standing army and vast body of thoroughly
trained men ready for instant mobilization vast equip
ment Of explosives small arms big guns of all cabres,
air craft coast Defence must be created The navy would
need to be greatly augmented with big number Of sub
marines This force would have to keep up to date with
ncessant changes The United States would be spending
several billions year on its army and navy
If the United States will continue in this with all
tits heart it put end to this 1t is not
question of Selling any territory belonging to the German
people 1t is simply question of demonstrating to them
that autocracy does not pay When that fact demon
srated they will reorganize democratic basis. Then
the United States dsarm nearly 1t will be
made much cheaper to fight it out for year two than
to endure mitarism indefinitely.

FRANCE LIFTS
BAN ON HUNTING
AFTER 4 YEARS

France will allow the hunting Of
game for the first time since 1913.
A dispatch from Paris states that the
closed season Of nearly four years
has resulted in damage to crops by
depredating animals.
The season will open only after
the crop has been harvested and Will,
be short. The government has de-
cided this measure is necessary to
protect agriculture against the raw
ages Of game, which has multiplied
greatly in the three years during
which only restricted destruction Of
depredating animals has been al
lowed.
Hares, rabbits, pheasants and par
tridges are particularly abundant,
while wild boar, driven from the for
ests of northeast France by the mill
tary operations, have done consider
able damage in regions where they
never were seen before. The open
ing Of the hunting season. besides
saving the crop. is expected to help
relieve the provisions market.

plicitly upon destroying more ships

reasons the federal government Is
