mothers how to do the same thing.
These views are. generally SPEAK
ing. agreed with By Russians mere
with whom have talked, but dis
agreed with rs TO some details. one
OF these Russians in commenting on
the situation to-day said:
"If it be true that the United states
will soon organize propaganda IN
Russia. it is good news. In my opinion.
the American propaganda ought always
10 serve two purposes. war and peace.
For the moment Russia cannot fight.
Indeed. for the moment Russia does
NOT want 70 fight. For years my coun-
try has been soaked, yea, saturated.
with the insidious propaganda OF the
German government. The eyes OF my
fellow countrymen must be opened.
"No country in the world can make
them do that as can tho United states.
The tics that have bound America and
Russia together are old, but they have
stood the strain Of years. When you
begin the endeavor TO counteract the
effect Of German propaganda you must
first impress tson my people the tact
that your chief business is 10 bring
help and good cheer to them.
"lIave the American command, by all
means. but have the members of your
corps made up very largely OF Rus
SLAMS. Pay them for the work that
they do. That will show that America
feels that a Russian is of some use
and is worthy of his hire. Send your
civilian relief workers, but as they or
canizc their relief let Russian men and
women help them. Here. again. the
work ought TO be paid for. The Ger
man propaganda has been carried on
always on the principle Of getting as
much Of something for as httle or
as possible.
"Your propaganda must continue
when this war is over. Only COM
parative few of the millions Of Russia
know her real strength and power.
After the war she must be rehabill-
Gated"

Attack Jerusalem

ton that the Turks will not attempt
TO recapture Jerusalem was given by
General Stoeger-Steiner, Austro-Hun-
garian War Minister, in replying to
question raised in the Army Commit

treating eastward through the town
when their positions to the west were
subjected TO a surprise attack by the
British. Jerusalem suffered no dam
age, he said. and the Ottoman supreme
command has given assurances that
wanton damage is out of the question.
Jerusalem will now remain outside
the fighting zone. the general said.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-Secretary
McAdoo defended the government
against charges of waste in the war
in an address to-day before con-
ference of fraternal organizations
called to plan for Liberty Loan and
war savings campaigns.
"Of course. when war comes there
is waste" said the Secretary. But
what do we care about waste if by
wasting something we can hasten the
end Of something that costs human
life? Our duty is to get the men fully
equipped into the field.
IL don't cars # it costs one hundred

Sunk by Italians

The torpedoing Of two Austrian bat
Neships in the harbor of Trieste by
Italian torpedo craft on the night Of

New Light Appears

SO the task has been hcdged with
briars. Now a new light is illuminat-
ing the places that are dark. When the
American propaganda in Russian ia or
gained its slogan will be "All cards
on the table," and its message will
be Fair dealing among men" We shall
not interfere with anybOdys legitimate
business. but we shall see TO it that
the illegitimate aims of Germany in
Russia shall be met and overcome By
gospel of good viii 10 the Russians
and help where most they need help.
IL is doubted in Well-informed Rus
sian circles here. however, whether the
President or the State Department is
fully informed concerning the best
method of procedure. So far az can be
learned. no well-infOrmed Russian in
Washington has been asked TO make
any suggestion. Yet there are many
Russians and friends Of Russia here
whose counsel might be heard, even If
it were not accepted.
For instance, there is DR.. II. Egg
bert, who is connected with the Rus
sian civilian relief. Dr.. Egbert went
to Russia in 1911 and served as a
surgeon with the Russian forces for
more than a year. Since then he has
made two round trips to Russia.
Dr. Egbert believes, as Russians here
believe, that the American propa-
gandists should approach all Russians
in the spirit Of unselhsh helpfulness.
should inspire in them an unshakable
belief that all that America and Ameri-
cans desire 10 do in Russia is to bring
order out Of chaos. to give the people
of the new republic a true perspective
OF their real Strength, and 20 impress
upon them the fact that there can be
no government of safety and power in
Russia until the militarism of Germany
has been crushed.
Should Send 1000 Ambulances
To that end DR.. Egbert believes that
We should send to Russia at once
1000 ambulanceS. with two men to an
ambulance. and fully equipped am
bulance. corps. An ambulance corps.
IN his opinion. ought 70 include six
teen ambulances, each carrying four
stretchers, and four jitney buses, each
able to carry eight wounded men who
cannot walk, but are able to sit IN
until they can be taken care of at the
dressing stations.
The corps should be commanded by
one American surgeon having the rank
of captain with two first lieutenant
surgeons and one or more Russian
surgeons attached. There should be
two hospital stewards. frst-class SER
gents; twelve hospital corps privates,
four American mechanics, four Russian
cooks, and thirty Russian hanitars, who
would do the work of hospital order
lies.
Dr. Egbert also believes that an
American engineer corps should ac-
company the ambulance corps.
In this relief work, DR.. Egbert says,
several physicians or surgeons to each
village are needed and that there is
particular need OF what the large
cities know as settlement work nurses

General Sporting Notes.

| Some magnates say that with wal
with Germany the great national pas
time will be killed TO certain extent
but others say that when the United
States was at war with Spain the small
crowds at the Polo grounds were due tc
other causes. The late Andrew Freed.
man at that time was at loggerheads
with his National league partners. and
he openly declared that it was his inten-
tiop to kill the game. The lack OF en-.
thusiasm in New York caused the other
teams TO be injured, as the other cities
did not patronize the game on account OF
the trouble in New York. The main
point is to reduce the expense in case of
war and the crowds will attend just the
same.
Pres. Barrows Of the International
league says that none of the club owners
in that league have sent out contracts TO
their players as yet and the magnates of
that league are in no hurry about send
ing out these little slips of paper. Mr..
Barrows stated that the entire league
would stand pat in connection with the
salary question and that they would not
grant the demands of the players union.
He went on further than this and said
that il the players in that league struck
the ball parks would be closed for the
year. The International league magnates
say that they will call this monumental
bluff of the players good and hard.
Hal Chase, formerly of the New York
Giants and Federal league star, who is
now playing with the Cincinnati Reds,
not only carried off the National league
batting honors last season. but also sent
in the greatest number Of rms with his
slap stick. Chase advanced "a Reds to
the home plate, 90 on safe hits, six on
sacrifice flies and nine on infield outs.
In 1915 Cravath OF the Phillies sent lis
runs in and hung up the National league
record of 1870 during the 1918 playing
season. Hinchman Of the Pirates fol-
lowed Chase with rs runs resulting from
his stickwork Wheat of the Robins took
third place with 70. and Benny kauff
made rs by his work.
A peculiar incident is related about a
ball game last summer at the Polo
grounds when a cold, raw wind swept
across the field, carrying with IL sheets
Of rain that made good baseball impos
sible. Christy Mathewson was drawn in
to pitch, something that the old star was
never asked to do before under such
weather conditions. After the game, the
writers and players who did
not participate in the contest wers talk !
ing about the unusual turn OF the UNI
pire in letting the game proceed, when
Johnny Evers spoke about McGraw rush |
ng Matty into the contest in the cold
rain. He remarked that when Matty was |
worth $4,000 a month he would never |
nave been given chance to ruin his arm, |
out when McGraw saw that his old wing |
lad gone, he had to 60 to ii the same as
I'll Others, and that in baseball, "dubs"

svers' statement proved correct, for
dathewson never started in but one /
more contest for the New York team.
