Louisville, KY, Nov. 13.-There was
no secession of dissatisfied club own
ers of the American' association, nor
was new attempt made to form a
new league at the annual meeting
here of the American association,
after a stormy fve-hour session,
during which Jas McGill, president of
the indianapolis club, made the sug-
gestion Of new league, the meeting
adjourned until Wednesday to await
action on redistricting Of certain min
or league territory expected to be
taken by the National associations OF
professional baseball leagues, which
meets tomorrow.
President Hickey of the American
association declared tonight that the
movement Of the Indianapolis, Louis
Vile and Toledo, clubs to withdraw
and merge with certain clubs OF the
International league appeared to be
losing force. He predicted that the
association would open the 1918 sea-
son intact. There, were reports. how
ever, that McGill, Roger Bresnahan,
owner of the Toledo club, and 0. H.
Wathen, president of the Louisville
club, would carry their fight before
the National association.

NOT PROGRESSIVE!

Some physicians banded together in
the American Association of Progress
sive Medicine have decided to seek
legislation in various states legalizing
killing aged persons and incurables.
Evidently they overlook the fact that
many persons have done much good
and been of great worth after they
had passed the old age line. They
forget the millions of instances where
sick persons recovered health after
they were given up by doctors.
We cannot subscribe to the doctrine
of lcgalized murder advanced by these
doctors; nor do we~agree with them
that they are progressive" A truly
progressive doctor is one who makes
an incurable disease easier to bear
and makes it possible: for. one so al
hicted to live as long as possible.
Further, progressive doctor is one
who makes old age healthier and
pushes it farther into the distance OF
ones life-who does his utmost to
bring his patients to what we are
pleased to call ripe old age"

The soul of man depends upon God

The sun is also the fountain of life.

"KULTURED" FINANCE, ANYHOW

Germany may not "crack," POLITICAL
ly. Her war strength may still be as
high as, some unbiased authorities say
it u.s.. She may be able to raise a
seventh war loan in October and an
eighth in December. But it is indis-
putablc that she has, practically, gone
without foreign trade for over three
years; that One-sixth of her war loans
has to 90 as interest on preceding
loans; that her interest charge alone
is $780, 100000 more than the imperial
income; that her mark has so de-
prcciatcd that her nearest neighb0rs
decline it; and that, even within her
own confines, some of her mortgage
bank bonds arc selling above the i'm
perial bonds.
There is no people on earth, save
one "kulturcd" into going it blind,
that would or could stand for such
business and financial conditions, even
in peace times. 10 is some "kultur,'

billy country from. the vicinity Of
Feltre to the Settle Comuni. Several
attempts made by the enemy to pierce
the northern frontrand encircle the
Italian left wing haye failed.
The Berlin official communication
asserts that on the upper Piave 10000
Italians have been cut off and forced
to surrender, and also that the Teu-
tonic allies have MESSED southwest
ward from BellunU and now are
standing before the town Of Feltre, on
the west bank of the Pave. 1t is con-
sidered possible that the enemy may
make an attempt t02press southwark
from this region along the valley and
the railroad, but the Italians here are
entrenched in strong positions which
apparently cannot be taken except UNI
Ter heavy losses.
The situation in Russia as result
of the Bolsheviki revolt is still OBJ
scure. No direct dispatches have been
received from the ussian capital since
Sunday eevning, when it was report
I'd that there had been considerable
street fighting in which cadets, fol-
overs of Premier Kerensky, were
worsted by the Bolsheviki troops at
several points. The fighting was be
run by the cadets, owing to reports
that Kerensky, with large body OF
men. was close to the capital. The
premier and his followers, however,
had not put in an appearance up to
Sunday night.
On the battle fronts in France and
Belgium comparative calm prevails,
except for the usual artillery activity
and raiding operations.
In Palestine the Turks, who have
been pushed back on numerous sec.
tors by the British forces under Gen.
eral Allenby, now are. preparing de
,ensive positions 20 miles southwes,
Of Jerusalem, near Hebron.
The British, however, are using the
mounted troops, and again have made
some progress toward Ell Tine. Scot
fish infantry also has attacked the
enemy's right flank successfully and
captured number Of machine guns.
Gas masks are being worn by the
American troops in the trenches in
France as a result of the Germans
using gas shells against them. Both
the Americans and the Germans are
using considerable quantities of shrap'
lel against opposing positions.

LET Us ENCOURAGE HOGS!


Throughout the Mississippi and
Missouri river regions, the prevail
ing topic of conversation, even in
quite polite circles, is hog, and the
scat OF the nation might as we'll make
up its mind that something has got
to be done about hog.
The farmer has been selling most
all his hogs, including brood sows,
until there's hardly squeal audible
in all that vast region. Mr.. Farmer
says he has been selling because
prices were uncertain, and he has
gruntcd to such effect that the food
administration has decided upon a
minimum price Of $3.50 on hog at
Chicago
In fact, the only uncertainty. about
hog prices that has worried the farm
e., for many months past, has been
uncertainty as to whether his hog
would be worth 81 more tomorrow
or Sl.5O. A rise was as certain as
rise OF the sun. Most of the farmers
sold, down to their last brood sow.
or thercabOut, and now those who
still have breeders have got to be en-
couraged by government. Ordinarily.
$3.50 Oh hog at Chicago would make
any conscientious farmer blush over
its acceptance. But, in addition the
hog-raisers are demanding fixed
price on cOrn-hog- food. The farm
ers fear uncertainty as to corn, hav-
ing raised over three billion bushels
of it the past year. More hog food
for fcwer hogs might, naturally, mean
cheaper hog. but maybe government
will have to encourage the farmers
by smashing natural laws in respect
Of both hogs and hog-feed. Certain
it is that il, under present high prices,
the producers of bacon, pork and ham
are in the Slough of Despond, some
thing mighty strong has got to be
done to lift them up. .-'.. +
