THEY'RE ALL OVER THERE
PATRIOTISM OF AMERICAN ATHLETES CAN'T BE JUDGED
BY JOHNSONS SUGGESTION

The recent action Of Ban Johnson IN
suggesting that the government be ask
ed to exempt about 300 ball players so
that basegall would not have to be DIS
continued left a decidedly bad taste
IN the mouths Of thousands OF Ameri-
cans. who deemed the suggestion un-
patriotic and doubtless believed that Il
one Of the biggest men In Americas
greatest sport would be a party 10 such
a proposition that all sport must be
cl0uded with slackerism.
This feeling would naturally be sup
ported by the failure OF the countrys
greatest boxers to enlist and the haste
IN which they sought exemption from
the draft
But the avidity with which John
Tener. president OF the National League
and a number Of American League mag
mates repudiated Johnsons suggestion
did much to show the real attitude Of
the majority Of big men In baseball.
And so far as other branches Of sport
are concerned followers OF sport may
take pride IN the fact that stars of the
diamond gridron and track offered
themselves among the first.

RAISING MONEY FOR

Subscriptions to Make Up for
Lack of State Appropriation
Called for.

ENID, Okla, May 19-The last
Oklahoma legislature passed bill
appropriating $4,000 for the purpose
of assembling an exhibit of the
agricultural, Industrial and natural
resources of the state, and displaying
the same at the Twelfth International
Soil-Products exposition, which is to
be held at Peoria. Ill, the last two
weeks in September. Governor Will
liams refused to sign the bill, and 1t
failed to become effective.
An effort is now being made to
raise fund sufficient for this pur-
pose by subscription. w. r. Lence,
president of the oklahoma State bank
OF Enid, Is acting as trustee of this
fund, and number of subscriptions
have already been received. In case
q sufficient amount TO make n credit

scriptions are to be returned.
Provisions for state exhibits at this
exposition were made by the legisla-
lures of Kansas. Nebraska, both

Arizona, California and Montana,
while in most of the other western
states funds are being raised by sub
scription.

Swedish OFFICER to the Fore with Inn

STOCKHOLM, May ia new
type of airplane has been planned
and constructed by an officer in the
Swedish army. Lieutenant Won Porat.
II differs from ordinary types in that
II is made entirely of steel and woven
fabrics, with the exception of the pro-
peller, which IS of wood, and in the.
arrangement of the wings. The lower
plane of the machine-which is a
scout byplane with some resemblance
to the Fokker type-lies for three
quarters og its width back OF the
upper plane, instead Of being directly
under IT, as in most machines
The especial advantage claimed
for tho new airplane lies in its climb
ing ability, which is declared to be
three thousand feet in four to five
minutes. It's speed is one hundred
miles an hour. The motor is of 100
horsepower.

PRESBYTERIANS RIPE
FOR AMALGAMATION
General Assembly in Dallas Is
Expected to Complete De-
tails of. Reunion.


DALLAS, Texas, May 19.-When
the Presbyterian general assembly
convened in annual session here
Thursday, prospects for reunion of
the northern and southern branches,
officially known as the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of Amer
lea and the Presbyterian church in
the United States, respectively, were
regarded as uncertain.
Those openly favoring the amalga-
nation, however, said that not since
the two branches came to the parting
of the ways in 1861 had indications
for a reunion been as bright as at the
present meeting
The northern branch of the church
Is numerically the stronger, having on
its membership rolls approximately
100000 persons. The southern
branch has a membership of three
hundred thousand.
Iirst Meeting In Southwest.
The northern branch has members
in every state in the union while the
southern branch IS confined to
churches south of Mason and DiXon's
line

branches was known as THE Presby-

sectional differences brought about

branch.
This IS the first time the general
assembly has been held in the south
west and the northern branch, Il is
author itatively stated, not only fay ors
reunion at this time, but will make
overtues TO bring this about.
Dr. JOHN A. Marquis of Cedar
Rapids, IA, present moderator, 1t was
said today, will not be a candidate for
re- election. While no one else has
formally announced candidacy for
the place, prominent men in both
branches of the church say that DR..
Robert johnson, Montreal, Canada,
probably will be nominated. He was
an unsuccessful candidate for mod
er9Sor at the assembly in Atlantic
City last year and is a delegate to the
presen. gathering. DR.. Andrew c.
Zenos, Chicago. also has been mem
toned as a probable candidate.
Hope To Complete Plans.
The assembly at Atlantic City voted
to combine the college board of the
church with its board Of education
and final details oil this amalga ma

Kahn Tells Germans
To Crush Prussianism
Best Service to Fatherland Is
for Them to Join United
States, He Says

Otto II. Kahn. born of German par
ents. urged all German-Americans to
"set their faces like flint" against the
ideals Of Prussianism, in his address at
the Liberty Loan rally of the Mcr-
chants Association in the Bankers
Club yesterday.
"I do not hesitate" he said, "to state
it as my deep conviction that the great
est service that men OF German birth
or antecedents can render to the coun-
try of their origin is to proclaim and
TO stand up for those great and fine
ideals and national qualities ard tradi-
tions which they and their ancestors
inherited and in which they were
brought up. and to set their faces like
flint against the monstrous doctrines
and acts Of rulcrship which has
robbed them of the Germany which
they loved and which had the ahectlon
and admiration Of the whole world.
at is my deep conviction that the
more Enthusiastically and whole-hearted-
ly they throw themselves INTO the
struggle which this country mas en-
tered 10 rescue Germany. no less tnan
the rest of the world, from these SIMS
