From the ever-interesting columns of an esteemed contemporary learn that the time will arrive when Seward Day will be national holiday in the four north c states which once constituted the territory of Alaska and that this prognostication may be accepted true fact.
 We the intelligence with joy and cheerfuly string our money on the general accuracy of the predicton howbe as we have at present legal national holiday of any kind applicable to all the states, find ourselves some perpexed to figure just how might apply to only four

DEATHS GREATER THAN
 TUBERCULOSIS

LONDON.-For the first time, the mortality from cancer in England has overtaken that from tuberculosis. At the present time, about 10000 deaths annually are ascribed to cancer.
 The Cancer Society in its annual re- port, expresses the belief that large increase in cancer must be expected as result of the war. "It is mat ter of common knowledge" says the report, "that cancer frequently de- velops at the site of former scar or wound. Whatever the underlying cause of the malady maye be, the la mentable fact remains that as a re- suit of the present unparalleled war fare, we shall have to face in the neal furture a most serious increase in malignant growths in the men who served their country in the field"

THE EDITOR SLOSHES AROUND.

# HE annual report of Dr. H. X Carroll
on the status of Christian churches in the
United States, is well worth few minutes of
your attention.
He gives the census of church members at
40,0OOO0O
In this count, the children and death-bed
converts are included.
OF course DR.. Carroll does not attempt to
separate the active from the passive members.
He has to go by the books.
During the last year, church membership
increased $4,000, which was gain of 204,-
600 over 1915.
The Baptsts gained 132, 900; the Methodists
100000; the Presbyterians and Reformed
group 10000; the Episcopalians $4,000; and
the Lutherans 10000.
The gain Of the Roman Catholics was about
taoo-thlrds of the number of the IMMIGRANTS
Their new memberships born and just dy-
ang-were counted at 10000, of whom at least
half were Italians, Irish, and Canadian Cath
Olics.
The Disciples of Christ are debited with
loss of $4,000, but this is said to be due to
inaccurate reports previously made. Who
made these inaccurate reports?
IF the census of the one of the churches is
admitted to have been so very erroneous, how
DO we know but that some of the others
remain inaccurate!

Christianity existed under Nero, but pop

The first Christians of Rome lived few
years after Christ, but the first pope did not

The Christian churches are 900 years old
but the Catholic church was not born more

National League Acts;
No Strike Compromise
With Players Fraternity

New York, Feb. IA. - The National
League and the Baseball Players Fra
ternity came to the parting of the
ways here yesterday, while Manager
John j. McGraw, of the New York
National League Club, and President
David l.. Fultz, OF the Players Asso-
citation, were in secret conference en-
deavoring to reach a common ground
upon which the so-called strike OF
the players could be compromised.
The senior organization passed unani-
mously a resolution abrogating the
agreement made with the Fraternity
at Cincinnati on January 6, 1914, and
when McGraw returned to the meet
ing it first appeared as if his self-im-
posed mission had been in vain.
Later, when President Tener, of the
National League, read the resolution
to the newspaper representatives, he
explained that no discrimination was
to be made against any player who
might have been or continued to be a
member of the Fraternity, but that
the league would no longer recognize
the organization and that all dealings
in the future would be with the play
ers as individuals.

READING PLAYERS
REPORT IN APRIL
Manager George Wiltse Will
Locate in Reading After
Harrisburg Meeting

Reading, Pa. Feb. 14.-George
Wiltse, manager of the Reading team
of the New York State League, has or
dered his players to report on April
IA, ten days in advanc9of the openeing
of the season, and after about six days
of drilling he will start playing exhibi-
tion games to give the players taste
of the real thing.
Both Wiltse and DIR. +. n. Tate will
attend the league schedule meeting to
be held at Harrisburg next month, and
Wiltse may make his home in Read
ing from that time on.
There has been no dope flittering
through from Syracuse as to what
players have been signed for the Read
ing team but there is no doubt that
Wiltse will be ready to put a fast nine
in the field.
Needs Clean Hitter
He has outfielders Breckenridge and
Rabbit Oakes as regulars, and while
the infield has been shot to pieces and
there must be u good cleanup hitter
for the outfield, the fans have conf
dence that Wiltse will have the men
when the time comes.
Wiltse is making every effort to get
hold of the more seasoned men and
expects to land some of them from the
big league clubs when they, return
from the South.
Up to this time there has been little
talk of trades among the New York
State League managers, and it is pre-
sumed that most of them intend to
stand pat on what was left to them
after the draft last season.
Reading must do some hustling to
get together q good pitching staff, for
there will be at least two or three to
be signed.
