fiict with the Amateur Association.
and there is every indication that the
new organization will take away
players from the association and leave
the opportunity to sign up younger
players.
The need OF providing for nrsICiass
players on the various amateur teams
has become apparent in the past two
years. Many frst-rate players have
been on the Amateur Association s
rolls for years, and it is thought that
younger players woulu be more de-
sirable.
Becomes TOpheavy.
The Amateur Association teams have
become topheavy OF recent years: Some
of the players are of stronger caliber
than others. and the youngsters have
been denied the opportunity to play with
the amateur teams. BY forming an in
dependent league and drawing the older
and more experienced players the new
circuit will give the youngsters coming
UP a chance. The Capital City League
formed last year for sixteen-year-old
players was thought to be step In the
right direction.
President Robert II. Young is expected
to find out the sentiment o fthe associa-
ton in regard to the new league at the
mid-winter meeting. Action will prob
ably be taken by the Independent
League on Thursday, when the officers
and team managers get together.
Discuss League Rules.
League rules and bylaws were dis
cussed at last nights meeting Of the
new circuit A stringent ruling in re-
gard TO men who have been members OF
professional teams was threshed out and
the rule in this respect is thought to
be even stronger than the Amateur As
ISOLATION code.
A conference with Amateur Associa-
ton officials and officers of the new
league il expected before the next meet

from Berlin and Vienna are not
without Significance.
Officlals who commented informal
ly on the ."oyertures" did not think.
OF course. that anything tangible in
the way OF peace could be CLEANED
from either the German or Austrian
speeches, but the very fact that It
was necessary to assert that Ger
many wanted peace, and that Eng
land and France had embarked on a
war OF conquest, argues, in the opinion
OF our Governmental officials. q politi-
cal unrest in the central powers
that appears to make the German
chancellor and Austrian foreign min
lister Apprehensive OF their hold on
the respective public opinions OF the
two monarchies.
The belief here. Of course, Is that
Chancellor Mlchaelis Is being tenn
porarily supported by many elements
IN Germany on the theory that he
may be able to negotiate peace.
The German military government
is being forced, in other words, BY
the cIerIcals and the peace elements
in Austria to make strenuous efforts
to end the war.
II this combination does not get
peace. another revolt in the Reichstag
may be expected.
Incidentally this view, prevalent In
Government circles here, IL to an ex-
tent shared by such organizations
as the American Union Against Mill
tarism, which in . letter to Senator
Stone, urging him to propose q con-
current resolution that would be a
proper basis for peace discussion, sug-
Eested that "the American public
ought to pay less attention to the
utterances OF Michaelis and more at
tention to the efforts OF the Reichs-
tag to hold out for a non-aggressive
peace"
Viewed with Suspicion.
On the whole, the speeches from
Berlin and Vienna are, however,
viewed with suspicion
President Wilson's Flag Day speech
constitutes still the American Gov
ernment's theory of the purpose be-
hind the frequent efforts" to make
peace.
Secretary LansinE's address to the
soldiers at Madison barracks last
night was delivered, Of course. With
out knowledge OF the utterances OF
MIchaelis or Czernin. but State De-
partment officials thought today II
would serve as a complete answer
abroad to the German peace propa-
ganda. because II will have been
printed in neutral countries in the
afternoon papers OF today-several
hours subsequent to the German
and Austrian interviews.
Chancellor MIchaelis' endeayor to
make the kind Of peace that the mill
tarists in Germany want, his EFFORT to
convict the allies OF a lust for con-
quest. and his use of the vague
phrase peace with understanding"
will really have no effect In WASH
Ington. War preparations continue
with undiminished energy.
Until there is some evidence OF
good faith and sincerity,4 until there
are tangible or concrete signs of
IN the central pow
ers, until there have been set up in
Berlin and Vienna what Lloyd George
calls "free governments" peace nego-
tiations must wait. And no one in |
Washington pretends to know when
that will be.

LONDON, July 3o.-Germany's
Sunkers are working hard with the
German people to justify militarism.
An effort by the militarists to delude
the public into belief that Germany
Is beset by rapaeious foes, who start
ed the war to dismember Germany
Is what London saw today behind the
peace interview" granted by Chan
cellor Michaelis, Of Germany, and
Foreign Minister Czernin, Of Austria.
The reported presence in Switzer-
land Of Matthias Erzberger, the
Clerical leader, recently head Of the
Reiehstag coalition, presumably
as a peace negotiator, was regarded
as proof the militarists staged the
recent "erisis" in the Parliament,
and that Erzberger was merely
tOol Of those interests. :
Assault on Poe.
Aichaelis' peace interview was
rather an assault on England and
France. He charged the allies with
secret agreement, aiming at "enslave-'
ment OF Germany" He was particu.'

The MichGeIiB and CEernIn state
msnts came on the eve of the Moscow
conference Of Russian governmental
leaders. This coincidence was too
striking not to arouse comment here.
Moreover, It was pointed out that the
German structures on the allies "aims
of conquest" were probably carefully
created with the idea OF creating dis.
trust in Russia against England and
France, IN view Of Russia's insistence
on q war policy of mo anne1atiOnS."
