BASEBALL PLAYERS
ARE 'fNONESSENTIAL" |"
Ruling in Ainsmith Case Classes
+ Game as UnproducGve.

Baseball is a Donessential industry
and ball players must shift TO pro-
ductive occupations or lose such
deferred cIassifcations in the draft
as may have been given them be-
cause of dependence claims and
other reasons.
This. briefly, is the fate of pro-
fessionsl baseball in America. decfd-
ed yesterday by Secretary Baker. on
the appeal OF Edward Ainsmith. a
catcher on the Washington team OF
the American League.
This decision. hanging IRE for
weeks may mean the disbanding of
organized baseball for the duration
of the war. While many ball pias-l
ers are beyond the daft age. the
claim is made that there are not
enough above 81 years OF age 20
furnish the brand of baseball de-,
manded by major league patrons. a.
The Ainsmith case went up 20

local board in Division 9 OF the Dis
trict. He was placed in Class 4 pre-
vious to the celebrated work or

shifts his eRdeavors to a useful nelt
he will lose his deferred claSsihcs-
ton, granted for dependency res-
sons. and be placed in Class ]. sc-
cording TO Secretary Bakers ruling.

VIENNA PAPER ADMITS
DESPERATE SITUATION
Arbeiter Zeitung Prints Daring Ex.
pose of True Position.

The most daring exposition of the
true military situation yet printed in
n newspaper of the Central Powers
was cabled here from Berne in unoff-
cial dispatches yesterday. The state
ment is printed in the Arbeiter Zei-
tung, socialist daily paper of Vien-
ma.
The report reads:
That the Americans are transform
ing the situation against the central
powers is growing more evident in a
perceptible manner every day. All of
the latest reports are in agreement
that there is no longer any doubt that
a million Americans are today in
France.
Their genius in the art Of organ
ization has obtained an amazing re-
suit which recalls the creation OF the
British army. All of the forces de-
barking in France today have been
raised, trained and equipped in a
year and half. The participation of
the Americans in the struggle in
creases to a gigantic extent the in
tensity of the efforts which Germany
must make 1t is a fact without pre-
cedence in history for Germany to find
herself today confronted with three
states whose population is three times
superior to hers and whose talents for
organization and economical enforce
ments are equal to the orSaniZation
and economical power of Germany"
THE Germans are maintaining their
positions but there is limit to every
thing and II can be understood clear
" why the Supreme Command of the
German army is striving to obtain a
final decision this year. 1t is now q
question of doing this before the
United States is able to throw the
whole weight of her force into the
balance"

LAT'INENVOYS
TO VISIT HOG
ISLAND PLANT
Hurley Will Tell Guests u.
S. Plan to Guard
Democracy.

The war strength that is being
developed by the United States is a
further guarantee to the nations
lying south of our boundaries of.
the safety of their democracies and
of the survival of the Monroe Doc
trine.
Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of
the United States Shipping Board,
realizing the great interest which
the. nations of Central and South
America have in the war program
of the United States, has extended
through the State Department an
invitation for the heads of all dip
lomatic delegations from these
countries to make a personal tour
of inspection Of the great Hog Is
land shipbuilding plant on July rs.
This vast yard. with it's fifty
ways. Is now about 80 per cent
complete, and it is feast for the
eyes in war work. The first vessel
Is to be launched there on August
5. and by the middle of that month
a number of hulls will take the
water. From that time on its pro-
duction of modern ships will sur
pass anything ever contemplated
oCAOhc thC VI SHlDS
in one yard.
Something Important to Say.
II Is expected that Chairman Hur-
ley will have an announcement OF
Immediate and far-reaching Impor-
tance to make to the diplomats who
will be his guests on this trip of
inspection. In the furry of war and
war preparations the small nations
Of Central and South America appear
to have been forgotten. They may
have had reason for concern over the
concentration of efforts by the United
States and the allied nations on car
ing for the small nations abroad
Chairman Hurley, 1t is believed. will
dissipate any such impression bv his
speech to the diplomats. 1t is be-.
lieved that he will offer to them a
program by which they will not only
share in war work but in any benefits
that may accrue TO any nation as
the result OF the war.
Names Of the Guests.

been sent TO visit the great shipbuild-
ing plant as the guests Of Chairman

CHINESELOAN
ARRANGED BY
ALLY POWERS
Japan Joins Agreement No
Country Shall Dominate
Celestials' Finances.

Agreement on further details of the
50, 900. 900 loan to be advanced to China
by Japan and the United States|with
guarantees by France and Great
Britain were reached in conference
Yesterday. 1t is understood that the
funds will be advanced gradually. the
period Of transfer covering more than
a year.
The action of the United States in
insisting that all loans to China be
shared equally by the allies, is pointed
out to be in line with the foreign pol
icy of the government as expressed
IN the program of a league of ma
tons.
Under the plan adopted In meeting
the financial needs of China, the cap
ital OF no single country will gain a
dominant position in the economic
status Of the country.
Japan Recedes.
The ready agreement of Japan to
the recalI-of her recent SO, 900 loan
to China Is pointed out as a striking
evidence that the policy of the Open
Door in the Far East is to be ex-
tended even to financial undertakings
by the new alliance which through
common cause against German mill
tarism has been created.
Just what part various financial In
stitutions of the United States may
play in the loan has not been made
public. 1t would appear. however.
that the action of the government will
greatly strengthen the value OF any
investments which American capital
has already made in China.
Announcement is expected soon OF
the exact rates and conditions under
which the allies will guarantee the
funds. Great Britain and France will
not for the present advance any share
OF the new loan. their shares being
borne by Japan and the United States,
who later will be reimbursed.
