How Colombia truly feels toward the
United States is naively disclosed IN
report by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee of the Colombian Senate, dated
March 6, 1914. on the subject of the
s25. 100000 settlement treaty now pend
ing in the United States Senate. IL Is
an illuminating document, setting forth
in restrained pbraseology the reasons
why Colombia felt obliged to accept
sum of money from the powerful ana
irresistible neighbor to the north Ill
lien Of any other kind of redress Tor
the Calamity" Of losing Panama.
Colombia had thought of forming
defensive alliance with the japanese
and had looked also TO the powers %
Furopa for moral support, and had
then decided. in view Of the IRE
sietible influence Of the United States
in the New World, to keep its gaze
straight toward that nation.
Salient Parts of Report
The salient parts of the committee
report follow:
The secession of the Department
of Panama, which occurred NQve"

Once the territorial reduction OF the
nation was effected. il became mas

Colombia in the case Of Panama, rec

the other nations as an independent
state.
L. s. Friendship Necessary
The treaty has. therefore. before
all an important political aspect 'po.

local or party politics. with respee'

respect to the territory OF Panama.
In the first case the treaty restores

cannot view with indifference if we
wish to live with foresight, and be

vost Marshal General Crowder an
nounced today
Farm hands of military age will not
be granted temporary exemption but
will be called out in the last quotas,
thus permitting them to remain on
farms until the last week in Septem-

General Crowder directed all local
boards to make a note of men whose

Crowder announced that notices to
drafted men, accepted for military
service, will not specify a date to re-
port but will leave this date to be
fixed later. The adjutant general will
notify each local board to summon
about twenty per cent of its first

DRAFT WON'T HURT
All Big League Teams VIII Re-
tain Their Present Strength.
No One VIII Suffer More Than
an Opponent.
BY JACK vEIoCK.

New York, Aug Little if any
change in the status of the penna mt
contending teams in the two Dig
leagues this season will be brought
about thru CONSUMPTION
The great lottery which called all
young men between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty-one was so en-
inently fair to all that the two majors
will suffer but little. The manner n
which the draft was conducted
bringing in the law OF averages-nas
resulted in distributing the burden
very evenly thruout the country, and
while perhaps as many as fifty major
league players may be called in all.
few II any may be forced to leave
their teams before the close OF the
season.
The sixteen big league teams, ac-
cording to the best available figures
at this writing, will probably lose an
average of two to three players each.
Figuring that each club should lose
three players. the total numoer OF
major leaguers to be called would be
forty-eight, and there are plenty or
players to fill the shoes Of these men
should they be taken before the
races are over
MaSnatCs Don't Worry.
So the burden of the draft has
ceased to worry the baseball magnate
in so far as the 1917 season is con-
CcTncu- but llle '--N
question.
1t is the future of the big league
teams over which the club owners are
bordering now, for no one can iCreteH
what the future will bring in this
great world war A speedy peace
would put an end to all speculation as
to the future of baseball: but a speedy
peace can only be hoped for, and
meanwhile the ceaseless grind of pre-
paration for carrying on its share OF
the war is the watchword of the ma
ton.
Many of the big league stars ere
past twenty-five years of age and have
dependent families. Others are past
the draft age. The youngsters who
are getting tryOuts with second di-
vision clubs are eligible, for the most
part, and it is probable that these
clubs will be the hardest hit But
whatever part the burden each club
must share, the ones who are hottest
contenders for the pennants will not
suffer greatly thru the loss of one or
two men. for other clubs will be hit
cOrrespOndingly hard and the top
notchers will be able to hold their
own.

Commission Will Probe
Increase in Food Prices

Washington, Feb. 13.-Approval for
a 100000 appropriation will be asked
Of President Wilson by the federal
trade commission and the department
of agriculture for the food price in
vestigation they are about to start at
his direction. The inquiry will be be-
gun as soon as the money is available.
It will go deeply into charges of price
manipulation and restraint of trade in
violation of the antitrust laws.
At least six months will be required,
it was said today, before any sort of
report can be made and year is the
estimate of the period necessary for
a complete inquiry. Already the de-
partment of agriculture has gathered
a mass of details concerning produc-
ton, distribution and consumption Of
food stuffs. Here it's powers have
ended and the trade commission, pos
sessing inquisitional functions, will
take up the work. Data gathered by
the department of justice in it's cost
of living investigation will be turned
over to the trade commission.
Tables prepared recently bearing on
food prices for 1916 show that during
the year, there was a general advance
in prices of from 10 to 100 per cent
Some Of the staple articles and the
amount of their price increase are:
Sirloin II per cent; ham q per
cent; lard 20 per cent; flour II per
cent; eggs 10 per cent; butter IA per
cent; potatoes 100 per cent; sugar 100
per cent; milk IA per cent.
