Frederick protested vigorously. against the marriage, which had been arranged by old King Frederick William without consulting the wishes of his son, but he knew too well from bitter experience the Consequences that would follow a persistence in opposing the kings will.

The Princes mother en- couraged him in the project, and Frederick was assisted by two friends. The secret plan was discovered by the king, and the prince and one of his companions were handcuffed like common ma1efactors and carried back to Potsdam. Lieut.. Katie was executed, and Frederick was made to witness the spectacle, his father as- suring him that he would soon share the same fate. The old tyrant was determined that his eldest son should die on the scaffoFdl He will always be a disobedient subject, quoth Fred erick William, "and I have three other boys who are more than his equals F'rederick's sister implored the king to pardon her brother, and was thrown from one Of the palace windows. Thanks to the mortified protests of the monarchs of other countries, Frederick William was dis suaded from his plan for the execu- tion of his son. and instead consigned him to prison for life.

In view Of persistent statements that
a pernicious propaganda is being car
ried on in this community to create
suspicion and prejudice against the
of this society in order
that their loyalty to this country and
its duly constituted authorities and In
stitutions might be graveiy questioned
this the German American Society Of
Daytona, herewith places before the
Of this commonwealth the
following statement:
This society was organized in the
spring Of the year 1918, and applied
for a charter to the State Of Florida
during December 1918. which charter
was granted and received in February.
1914
In August. 1914, the European war
broke upon the world like thunder
bolt out Of a clear sky. No one at that
time, and certainly not up to within
the past six months, ever dreamed
that there existed the remotest posi-
bility that the Republic Of these
United States would be drawn into
this tremendous cataclysm. Today we
are facing the undeniabie possibility
that within a week, we as nation,
may be at war with one Of the great
European beilioerents, the Empire Of
Germany. In view Of this possibility
the membership Of the German-Ameri-
can Society. Of Oaytona, deems it
timely and appropriate to place them
selves on record before their fellow cit
liens ard the bar Of public opinion.
Paragraph two Of the constitution
and bylaws. under which a charter
was granted by the State Of Florida to
this society is as follows:
AIMS AND OBJECTS OF THE
SOCIETY,"
1.-The aims Of this society shall be
the cultivation of the physical and in
teIIectuai development of its member

adhered. While not organized 70
charitable purposes, we have reachet

PLAYING BALL IN VENEZUELA
Many Diamond Stars Attracted From
Cuba as Result Of Expansion Of
Sugar Industry.

With discouraging comment on an
sides as to the effect that war by this
country will have on American sports,
It is somewhat refreshing to turn to at
least one instance where the present
war in Europe would seem to have
benefited sports in no little degree.
The news comes from Venezuela,
South America, and Is to the effect
that the magnitude of the sugar indus.
try In the continent south of us, re-
sulting from the demand growing out
Of the war, has attracted many Cuban
baseball players to the continent and
these men have organized baseball
teams and started to play the great
American game.
All Of the South American countries
whose soil is adapted to the cultiva-
ton Of sugar are sending to Cuba for
expert workmen and many Of those
who are responding have been dia-
mond stars in the Pearl Of the An
TILES. AS q result, baseball promises
TO become at least as well known, If
not as popular, in Latin America as It
is in the West Indies. The South
Americans are q sport-loving people,
and once the fascination Of the old
cry "Play ball" fastens itself on them,
there should be a wave Of enthusiastic
response throughout the continent.
The turnstiles at bullfghts may suf-
fer, but this, in the minds Of many,
would be a consummation devoutly to
be desired.

waivers Pat Moran made a flying
tackle and landed Schultz, whom he
had tried to purchase from the Pirates
last winter.
The confidence shown in Schultz by
Moran indicates that he still has sew
eral years Of major league baseball in
his system, for Moran doesn't take on
f1ivvers, and he has an uncanny habit
of nicking off ball players who are cast
aside by other clubs and molding them
into winning machine.
In all probability Schultz will take
the place Of Whitfield or Cravath in
the Philly outfeld if he shows signs
of stinging the ball in his old-time
form. Schultz is a vet, but he is one
of the old-timers who hasn't lost the
snap from his legs. He can still can
ter around the gardens and haul down
the tough ones with as much agility
as many Of the cumbersome youngsters
who come up every year. The fact
that Cravath's legs have been troubling
him makes Schultz an asset to the
Phillies, for Cravath can be kept on
bench if Schultz can fill the bill in the
garden, and Gavvy's hitting will be
enlisted in the pinches as usual.
Schultz was a teammate Of Moran's
on the old Cub champions and aside
from Evers he is the only member Of
the Cub champions Of 1905 who is still
fghtin' off the lusty punches Of Ole
Doc Time.

He Was Cured.


Once there was little boy who stole
sugar. So strong was his craving for
sugar that half his mothers time was
taken up watching the sugar bowl.
One morning, however, she filed big
tumbler full of sugar and gave 1t to
the little boy and told him to eat 1t all.
The boy took a spoon and started In.
He ate about a third Of it before he
got enough. His mother insisted that
he eat some more-it was all his to
eat, and she'd box his ears If he didn't
eat 1t. She did box his ears, and he
ate little more, but presently he
slipped the tumbler under his chair
and slipped out to play. When he
came back, though, the tumbler was
there waiting for him. He ate atlittle,
but 1t wasn't good. He said 1t was
too sweet" Every day for a month
that tumbler was by his plate at the
table, on a chair by his bedside, In the
closet with his playthings-every-
where he found that tumbler. The
flies swarmed about 1t, and the ants
came, but still it was 'stoo sweet"
That tumbler never was finished up.
The boy is an old man now, and takes
his coffee straight. Gooseberry pie is
the only kind he likes. All other kinds
are ''too sweet."-Kansas City Star.

DIAMOND
NOTES

Hugh Jennings has reduced the II.
gers roster to % players.
The White Sox are wearing khaki
off the field and look like real soldiers.
Fred Mitchell must have finally con-
WINGED the Cubs that they are a pooE
ball team.
Weaver has scored more runs thaD
any other player in the American
league this year.
Ty Cobb got five hits in q ball game
the other day, which shows that Ty Is
showing up.
The Dodgers are not only playing
Olson at shortstop again, but he Is the
lead-off batter.
Stuffy McInnis still is hitting all
kinds Of pitching. He is the big card
at Shibe park.
Grover Alexander was the first box
man in the major leagues to score ten
victories this season.
The Giants will miss McCarty's
heavy batting, but Rariden is q more
reliable thrower to bases.
Jesse Tannehill, old-time major
Lacquer, has been let out as arArum-
pire in the International league.
Manager Rowland Of the White Sox
rises to remark that Pitcher Cicotte
is. not guilty Of using the emery ball.
T. NJ. Murchison is the name Of a col
lege pitcher from North Carolina who
will join the st. Louis Cardinals for q
trial.
Probably the weaklings Of both
leagues would have more success If the
first three batters didn't always sac
rifice.
Pennant visions in st. Louis are fad
Ing. away. The hammer throwers are
getting busy with the Cardinals and
Browns.
National leagues first division
teams are hopping in and out Of first
place like It was hide-and-seek they
were playing.
Fielder Jones isn't saying q word
these days. But If the Browns sud-
denly brace up he will resume his
daily talks with st. Louis scribes.
Harry Wolter is finding the Nation
al league pitching far more difficult
than that of the Pacific Coast league,
where he was wont to bust fences for
several seasons past.
Fred Merkle still covers more ground
on ground balls than any other first
baseman. Late averages find him with
the most assists among the National
league first basemen.
