our throats? Never, since the lOwly Jesus taught the brotherhood and equality of man, has the Christian world had such an opportunity of dem- onstrating it, and if we are going to win, we have got to do it.
 My friend over there is worth say million or two, but his gold can not serve as a bumper between him and his service to his country, his God, any more than the poverty of that hard-handed mechanic with his seven hungry mouths to feed. can be set up as an excuse The sacrifice of blood $ being made-the best blood that ever bathed an altar for liberty-but he personal sacrifice, which is an in- iegral part of the whole. from every man and woman, is just as necessary 70 our success as the sacrifice of blood.
 Business as usual"-God defend us! Suppose that your individual profits are less than they were last year be- cause of some Government decision for conservation? Do you want to make anything on this war. Do you want to make anything on this war? Do you want to gamble on the blood Of your boy, or some other mans? Suppose you are little fellow and your already small income has been cut down for some exigency of the war. Can't you retrench and make it up? Can't you do without something which is not absolutely necessary? The knowledge that you are helping, hat you are doing your bit to win
 n this war, which should become your personal antifat remedy, or the finest .onic for the upbuilding of lost flesh. whichever you may happen to need.
 Perhaps you think that the war will soon be over anyhow, and you might as well let the other fellow, who seems to like making sacrifices, do it all, as he seems to be trying to do. But the war will not soon be over. Not while We feed the neutral nations, and they feed Germany; not while the great stores Of Russia can be subjected to Ter call. Not while she has the pro- iuctiye fields of France and Belgium and her thousands of prisoners, who, under the lash. are forced to plant and
 larvest for her.
 The civilized world, instead of being awed and impressed, as Hohenzollern
 imperialism intended it should be, has witnessed her degrading warfare with sickening contempt, which she then proceeds to make more degrading. She has never come out Ion the square" n anything or at any time. She lights under the water or sneaks over- head. Digging in" is her own in- vention; she has never fought on her own legs, as France and Italy chal- .enged her to do. She has never talk en her chance "in the open" with any nation.
 Over her internal revolutions, born in the threats of her own hopeless women, who have been forced to bring forth offspring, and are bringing them forth, horrible and deformed from malnutrition and suffering, she has spread the mouths of her machine guns. She is starving the stomachs and breaking the spirit of German children already"born, subjecting them to weaknesses, disease, and worse than death. that the men in the field may be kept well fed and strong to continue her hellish work of conquest and ob- liberation, her business as usual" No, the war will not soon be over. Men and women of America, are we awake? Are we awake?

fewer PLAYERS
FAVORED BY EBBETS
Policy Of Some Managers to Car.
~ Extra Players Not Wise.
Present Conditions In Baseball Make
Such Movement Imperative u
Game 10 TO Be Kept Alive :
Cut Down Limit.

President Ebbets Of the Brooklyn
club favors q cutting of the player
limit In the National league to 16 or
Is men. He says present conditions in
baseball make such a movement imper-
alive II the game IL to be kept alive.
Twenty years ago National league
teams carried IA. Is or 16 players and
still prov.aed the public with good
sport" said Ebbets. III am not In
error. the Brooklyns. when they won
the pennant In 1900, were composed Of
IA men-three pitchers, two catchers.
five infelders and three outfelders.
The schedule that year called for 1876
games. The practice Of carrying as
many as 80 players, nowadays, is alb
surd. There are too many pitchers.
extra fielders and pinch hitters. Some
teams are able to put In left-handed hit
.ers against right-handed pitchers and
the reverse whenever they feel like 1t.
Clubs that are keeping six infield-
ers or outfielders. together with eight
or nine pitchers. are not willing to aid
clubs that are short Of material. But
II the player limit Is reduced to 16 or
IS men. at least 80 capable players will
be available. l do not mean that the
weak clubs should get players for
nothing. They should be made to pay
a fair price. But under present condi.
tions. which have become alarming be-
cause Of the many players already
taken In the selective draft. the Ma
tional league must act quickly. Cut
down the player limit and make the
pennant race more evenly balanced.
That Is common-sense move. and
believe that other club owners In our
league will agree with me-"
