STUPID BASEBALL
MEETING IS OVER

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 9.-The deadest
baseball meeting OF the winter season
was just as good as over today.
Before coming here for the nation
al commissions session, baseball
magnates made considerable talk
about trades they were going to make
Then they came here and made more
talk, but no trades.
Most of them have gone home.
Ban Johnson, John Heydler and
Barney Dreyfuss, the big league sch.ed-
ule makers, are still here, working on
the playing dates, while John Far
rell and a few other minor leaguers
are hanging around hoping to get
Johnson and Garry Hermann to d
something for the benefit of the small
leagues.
The commission re- elected Herr
mann chairman and John Bruce secre-
tary and smoothed over the troubles
that remained from the federal league
settlement. But they aren't telling
how this settlement was made.

HFRzOC TO THE
Braves; DOYLE
TO THE GIANTS
Baseball Trade That Gives
Little Promise to Either
Side to the Transaction, in
Opinion of Expert.
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

New York, Jan. 9.-The Giants again
ha =. been David Harmed.
charley H',rzog today is a Brave
once more. Larry Doyle again is a
Giant Larry brings with him young
right handed pitcher-Jess Barnes
who, If he gets along as other good
months at the Polo grounds, will have
the opportunity of saying at the end
of next season that the signs on the
fence are fine.
Larry Doyle cannot give the Giant /.
any assistance. His acquisition might
be said to be practically a liability if
he is assigned to the regular task OF
covering second base. Unless John
McGraw is equal to the job of digging
up young infielder to take the place
Of Herzog at second, there isn't d
chance for tie Giants to finish out in
front in 191S> unless something hap
pens to their stronger competitors.
Doyle Is practically through as Il
star. His arm isn't good any more
His batting eye is dimmed and h. new
er was a whale as fielder.
On the other hand, Herzog will not
benefit the Braves SO much as may
be suspected. He will supply ne-,a
in Boston. but he won't make the
Braves pennant contenders by several
feet
1t may be that the trade was con-
sented to by McGraw because he want
ed man of Doyle's temperament on
his club. Larrys personality, his ir-
resistible good nature, will keep th.s
scraps away and McGraw may need
that kind of a man.

Americans Still Have Hard Row to Hoe to Beat
Germans, Says Veteran Who Left Leg in Trenches

Don't go over to France think
ing that all you have to do is to
walk into Germany. The war is a
long ways from being over yet"
This warning is brought back to
American soldiers and TO the Amer
lean people in general by Rufus
Reynolds, of Gloucester, Massachu-
sets, who went to France with the
Canadian forces February AZ,
1914. Three times he went over
the top and came back unharmed.
in E4is fourth great battle he was
SO severely wounded that his right
leg had to be auputated. The four
teen hours that he lay ON the field
wounded and locked on at the
fighting turned his hair white and
made him resolve to "come back
and waIc up the American people
to the fact that this is not httle
toy war; as he puts 1t.

An artillery problem developed in
France when the opposing armies set
tied down to warfare in the trenches,
in some places only score of yards
apart The enemy was safe from
shells from the big rifles which passed
over and burst far to the rear, while
1t was difficult for the large-calibre
howitzers to land a shot squarely in
the ditch. A gun was needed which
would gently lob quantity of high
explosive across the narrow space be-
tween the fighting lines

duced their "minenwerfer, small

THE sQUEALING HUN

means to give the Hun a dose of his
own medicine. For many months the
gases used by the British and French
have been distinctively superior over
the kinds used by the Germans and
the gas masks devised by Americans
and their Allies practically completely
rlsilify the effects of German gases, It
was not until the Hun realized this
superiority on the part of our Allies
that he began to squcsl.
The Germans hsye various uses for
the Red Cross. They SIMPLIFY its en-
blesn as target when they wish u
sink hospital ships carrying sick aud
wounded soldiers and then attempt to
use the humanitarian organization to
bring about discontinuance of firing
gas shells which would not have been
even thought OF by cur Allies but for

have waved above that squatty crow
that masquerades as the Prussian
eagle. But this aim will become clear
even to the German intellect some day,
and when the Huns see what the driv-
ing force was behind America, they
will understand why it was impossible
for us to lose.
The time may come for Germany
when even the channel ports of Bel
GUM and the coal mines of the Briey
basin will not seem worth the blood
that they will cost and so Germany
may decide to throw up the sponge.
But no such time can come for Amer
ica. Our prize is so higl, that to gain
it is worth the last doli< y and the last
drop of bleod-and to lose it is to lose
everything else that makes life worth
living. Germany's piratical purposes
can be cooled in blood, but nothing can
satisfy the soul of America except to
gain the end we sought when, in April
1917, we entered the war. And what
is that end? It is victory.
We are in this struggle for only one
tling-to win. That means the utter
crushing of Prussianisrn and with that
the liberation, not only of Serbia, Rou-
mania, France and Belgium, but of the
Germans as well. 1t means the res
toration of the plumber and the repara-
ton of the wrong perpetrated by the
Huns. 1t means the reestabl;shrnent
of morality, the revival of religion, the
rehabilitation Of mans soul and the
retreat of wickedness. These are great
ends. They cannot be computed by
dollars or measured by provinces
Only one word embraces them all
That word is the moving ideal OF
America today-Victory.

OUR SOLE A1M-v1cToRY

"Out there" in the silence of the
listening post, in the sentry go of the
trenches, in the cold watchfulness of
the front line-men hear voices that
are lost in the clamor of noisy cities.
What those voices tell may not always
be put into language. But this one
thing the hearers know-that deep an
swers unto deep. and certainty sup
plants doubt, and God HIMSELF comes
very near. Why not, for is not this
Gods war? Is America seeking any
selfish advantage. or is her work faint
ed with any sordid motive? Far from
it. AS nation we can stand before
the judgment of history and before the
bar of God, upright and unashamcd.
We are seeking neither Belgian fac
tories nor French coal mines When
the war is over, we are coming home
without one backward glance Of envy
at anything that Europe possesses.
Russia's seaports. Roumania's oil
wells, the rich plains of Asia Minor,
the art treasures of Italy incite no
cupidity in our breasts. We are not
drilling nation and building a fleet
to gain any prize of booty. Our tax
payers look to no spoils of victory to
repay the costs of this war.
To the German mind we are Quixo-
tic simpletons, who deserve to lose,
as we shall lose, in their opinion, our
money and our sons But there is one
aact that the German mind has over
looked because it has been blinded bv
dust of power and lust> of blood and
gross atheism. That fact is the irwin
chile appeal of mans higher self. Ger
many will not see our aim and object
until long after the Stars and Stripes

Beaten at their own game. the Ger
mans are now appealing to the Geneva
Red Cross to protest against the use of
poison gases in battle.
The German army FIRST introduced
poison gases into warfare in April,
1915, when it made surprise attack
on the Franco-British troops in Ypres.
Use of gas as weapon of warfare was
specifically prohibited by solemn COW
enant signed by representatives Of
Germany, but this covenant was sim
ply another scrap of paper" which
Germany held in contempt and pre-
ferred to disregard.
In the face Of the poison gas the
French had to retire and the Canadians
saved Ypres by desperate, costly fight
ing.
The British and French were COM
PEELED to fight fire with fire and their
chemists were put to work devising

REPLACEMENT CAMPS PLANNED

Replacement camps are to be es-
tahiiGbed in at least two of the camps
ana environments at present occupied
by National Guard and National Army
troops, When the soldiers now in
these camps and cantonments have
been sent overseas, the Division of
Operations Of The General Staff of the
Army will select two or more of the
sites for quarters for divisions of
200 men who will be held in read
mess to fill vacancies in the Expedi-
tionary Force. The replacement
troops, which will be selected from
men coming in from the draft, will re-
ceive special training so as to fit them
to fill vacancies abroad.

both in men and in money. France
and England arc pretty nearly

the same town when he saw some tat

him. One of the soldiers, recognize

saluting, said:
please, sir, what about a halt? ?"
