| VOICED BY Mr.. BAKER

to Take Lead in Rehabilitat-
ing Civilization.

Hope of an early and permanent peace
was expressed today by Secretary of
War Baker in an address before the So
ciety for the Promotion of Engineering
Education at it's twenty-fifth annual
session, held at Rauscher's.
At the same time Secretary Baker.
pointing out the great parts which
science is taking in the war, urged the
engineers that every one of their pro-
fession should intensity his efforts to
meet and solve the problems OF the war.
Secretary Baker said he hoped Amer
lea would be the leader in rehabilitat-
ing stricken civilization" when the
war is over. He emphasized the point
that when peace comes it will be the
intention of the United States to make
it a permanent peace, based upon the
rights of men and with the prestige
and power of thrones and dynasties
swept into the waste basket.

commodate the desires of those who

Predicts New History of World.

He alluded to autocracy as one of the
few hangover impossibilities from the
nineteenth century and declared that a
new history of the world will be writ
ten at the closing of this war.
He urged the engineers and scientists
to consider three propositions-the study
and solution of scientific problems pre-
Sented by the war. the expeditions
training of young men in the scientific
schools. so that they may assist in the
war. and the training Of men in scien-
tific lines that they may be ready
to answer the call of the government
whenever they may be needed to take
their places in the army instead of
civilian pursuits.

IS CHAMP TANKER
Miller Higgins Believes in
Jerking Wavering Pitchers.
Clarence Roland Also Believes
in Pulling Mound Men.
BY JACK VEIoCK.

New York, Dec. S.-Changing pitch
ers is one of the best little tricks
Miller Higgins does.
The new pilot of the Yankees has
often been criticised for his methods
in handling hurlers, but he still stands
I'D for his ideals, and when asked re-
Gently if he intended to apply the sys-
tenn to the Yanks. he replied in the
affirmative
'sWhy leave a pitcher in there to
take a beating and lose ball game
when he has nothing but a prayer and
a glover" asked Hug.
I'm my opinion it is better to jerk
a pitcher than leave him in there as a
target for the heavy artillery. He
may come back the next day and pitch
shutout ball; you never can tell"
He's Champion Tanker.
Higgins has probably yanked pitch
ers oftener than any other manager
in the two big leagues during the years
he has spent as a pilot and at that he
has gotten good results. His pitchers
have been able to stand all kinds of
work, and this fact seems to be an ar
gument in favor of his methods.
The worlds champion White Sox
saw at least two pitchers work in a
big percentage of the games they
played in their pennant-winning fight
last season. Manager Rowland
changed pitchers every time there was
a sign of wavering on the part OF the
man in the box, and he got results.
Rowland at one time expressed the be-
lief that two pitchers in a game are
better than one, as a rule, and he
; yitched his right and left-handers
around frequently.
