AVOWED ENEMY TO KAISER

It has been said that the kaiser has some friends-whether they in- tend to be or not-in congress, but one thing is certain, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts is not one of them. Senator Lodge has been one of the bitterest enemies the kaiser has had to reckon with. He has been strongly anti-German since the begin ming of the world war in 1914.
 The power of a United States sen- ator is great enough in itself, but Sen- ator Lodges power in the senate is added to by reason of his assignment to three of the most important commit tees, those on foreign relations, finance and naval affairs.
 Henry Cabot Lodge was born in Boston May 12, 1850. He graduated from Harvard college in 1871 and from Harvard Law school in 1875, with the degree of IL. B. In 1876 he was given the degree of Ph.D. by Harvard uni versity. He served two terms in the

AMBASSADOR IN HARD POSITION

The neutrality of Carranza in Mex ico is generally viewed as tantamount to pro-German attitude, and the po- sition which Senor Ygnacio Bonillas, the Mexican ambassador, occupies in Washington is therefore increasingly difficult There is talk of President Wilson losing faith in Carranza and Carranza losing his power with the Mexican people and of Felix Diaz hav- ing embraced a pro-American, pro- entente policy as a preliminary to starting another revolution.
 The Mexican ambassador knows that the future is certain to be shaped by the policy which Carranza pursues toward the German legation in Mex ico City. Reports in Washington are that the German minister now vir- tually controls Mexico's foreign policy. Will the ambassador tell Carranza frankly what his confreres in Wash ington are saying and thereby make his own personality a dominant figure

Knitting, while permissible in the gallery of the house of representatives in Washington, is forbidden in the sen ate.

Colors and Airplanes.

A curious phenomenon noted by aviators is that the color of a land ing field may have an effect on an airpfane that is about to a1ight on it. For example, an area which is dark from being plowed or burned over will make the air above it several degrees warmer than that over land of lighter color, such as a stubble field, thus causing a disturbed condition of the atmosphere, which may make landing difficult if not dangerous.

HUG WISE PILOT
He Might Have Made a Great
Legal Light.
But the Lure of Baseball Kept
Him From Bar.
B JACK VEIOCK.


New York, April 6.-Miller Higgins
might have become a great lawyer
had he hung out shingle after COM
pleting a course in law.
As a lad in his teens Hugs keen
mentality impressed his parents and
they decided that he should study
Blackstone. So Hug studied. And
when he got his sheepskin he was ad-
mitted to the Ohio bar.
But law did not have the upper
hand with Higgins. He had wonder
full ability as a ball player, and his
love for the game Influenced him to
pass up a law practice for the sport
aHuring.
He had made a brilliant reputation
as a ball player around his home
town of Cincinnati. and he found no
trouble getting employment as play
err. He first attracted attention OF
major league scouts as a member of
the St. Paul club. AS a second base
man he was perfection itself. So the
Cincinnati Reds decided to give him
a trial and in 1904 he went south with
them.
His Size a Handicap.
Hugs diminutive proportions did
not impress the management of the
Reds. Joe Kelly, who was pilot of

stand the gaff in the big show. But
before the season opened Hug had
won a berth as the regular second
sacker of the club, and his years OF
wonderful playing mark him as one
of the greatest infielders ever devel-
oped in the history of the game.
IN thirteen years of playing Hug
gins made a grand batting average OF
,246. He figured in sos double plays
while with teams that were always
losers and he was one of the greatest
run-getters up to the time of Ty
Copb's debut il. the big show.
Succeeding Roger Bresnahan as
manager of the Cardinals in 1913,
Higgins kept plugging doggedly with
team of misfits. He never gave
up hope, tho he took some hard
always had some obstacle in his way.
But before leaving the Cards he
brought them out of the ruck, and
today, as manager of the Yankees, his
big chance has come.
He's Smart Manager.
Higgins is SO years old. He is one
of the smartest managers in the bust
ness and has always been keen stu
dent of the game and of players. He
knows how to get the best out of a
player and he doesn't demand a team
of stars, either. Like several other
major league pilots, Higgins has little
to say, but his actions speak for
themselves.
it comes to size, but he is every inch
a real manager in the matter of
brains and executive ability. In
handling his men he mixes up adj
vice with good-natured kidding, and
his players swear by him.
