What King George Missed

London. July-King George missed
the best part of his recent pancake
treat at the Y. M. C. A. Eagle Hut-he
didn't turn 'em personally. Everyone
else is doing it now and putting an
extra edge on their appetite. The
reason is that the six Y. M. C. A. cake
bakers were on the verge of prostra-
tion after serving 6.l24 American SOL
diers and sailors with pancakes in the
first fifteen days rush on this pet ed
ible. A hut secretary then induced the
pancake fiends not only to bake their
own, but also to demonstrate with the
batter and turner for the benefit of
of their hungry buddies. The idea
went big, especially as the "Y" re-
tails two mans size cakes with appro-
pirate maple syrup both for sixpence.

People Like Kelley

The Kelley Dramatic Company which
has been playing under canvas in Clio,
this week, and which will give it's con-
cluding performance Saturday night. has
been well patronized and the people
have been pleased with the preform-
ances. 1t is probably safe to say that
no better talent has ever been seen
here and the plays are modern and clean
in character. The bill for this even
ing is dramatization of Harold Bell
Wright's famous story, "The Shep-
herd of the Hills" and is considered a
masterpiece. The bill for Saturday
will also be attractive.

started general mercantile business
at Richfield Center in a small way and
through the application of sound busi-
ness principles and sticking to the job
early and late, he was eventually re-
warded by a splendid business, which
soon grew to such a volume that he was
forced to sell few years ago to re-
lieve himself of a. burden which was
growing irksome. Since then he has
devoted himself exclusively to caring
for his farms. although he has given

We have known Claude Stoddard for
about five years and have always found
him honest, unassuming and ready to-
back up with his time and money any
project that had for its object the bet
terment of local conditions, and prom
ised to aid the moral uplift.
In face of our knowledge of the mans
reputation, and we know him as all

declare that he would make first class

entitled to public support.
We need more men like Stoddard in

CAPT. TY COBB BACK,
TO QUIT BASEBALL
But He May Change His Mind
Before Spring

New oYrk. Dec. 17.-Capt. Tyrus
Raymond Cobb, Chemical Warfare
service, got into this port on board
the Lseviathan yesterday. The Detroit
outfielder looked better than ever and
announced that he had determined to
retire from baseball. When it was
suggested that he was only spoofing,
Capt. Cobb laughed and talked about
1.-The terrible fascination of the
game" vbut he added that just now
he really hoped that he would not go
back to the diamond.
I'm going down to my home in
Augusta, Ga, and rest up for several
months" said Capt. Cobb. 1T intend
to break away from baseball. I'm
tired of it. I've had Is years of it,
and 7 want to quit while I am still
good There is the danger that the
fascination of the game has it's hold
on me, but I shall make every effort
to tear away from it and not sign
with any club again.
when I say this, I naturally pre-
sumo that the release that the mana
gers gave Us last fall, with its ten
days notice, is binding, and that I
have no legal strings on me now. I
hope &c. at least.
1--WE made no plans whatever
ahead of my rest. I haven't a pro-
fession, because 1 left school at IT to
play ball.
Capt Cobb declared that the war
had rejuvenated baseball and that,
tits going to boom this season as 1t
never has done before"
He explained that when the ar
mistice was signed he had just fin
ished his training and expected to be
assigned to a division which would
soon see some real action" Declar-
ing that the American army has 1.-The
finest personnel on earth, with every
one on his toes and wide awake every

ference adopts this plank:
international arbitration and league
of nations as complement of policy OF

til full discharge of their obligations

SUES FOR S4O,OOO,O0O.
McDougall Says Steel Subsidiary Has
Been Using His Ideas.


Duluth, Mimi, Dec 17.-claiming
that the Oliver Iron Mining company,
a subsidiary of the United States Steel
Corporation, has been using for ten
years an ore washer on the basic
principles of one he designed Cap
tain Alexander McDougall, president
of the McDougall Shipbuilding COM
pany, has brought suit for $4,000
600 against the mining company in
the Federal court.
Captain McDougall asked for an in
junction, contending that John c.
Greenway of the Oliver company OBJ
tanned on April Z, 1908, patent on
an ore washer after seeing plans of
one which Captain McDougaI1 him
self had patented a few weeks be-
fore. He holds that Greenway's con-
trivance, while not identical with his
own, owed its origin to the plans
which he exhibited.
In asking damages Captain Nc
Dougall stated that the machinery of
the Oliver company had been in oper-
alton ten years and estimated that
$1,000, 900 tons of ere had been wash
ed, the process enhancing the valua-
ton Of each ton at 50. The court
took no action.

TAFT IS CHANGING
SENATE'S OPINIONS
Worldwide League Idea Meeting
With More Favor

Washington, Dec. LEX Presi-
eating without reservation the plan
for u league of nations. which Pres
ident Wilson has gone to Europe to
urge for adoption as one OF the cardi-
nal planks in the peace treaty, is
playing very active role in endeav-
oring to develop support in this coun-
try for the project while the presi-
dent is trying to win it's adoption at
the Paris conference.
The value of the aid that President
Wilson is receiving from Mr.. Taft was
made apparent last night when it be-
came known that there had devel-
oped a remarkably sudden shift in
alignment on the league of nations
project in the senate. Two days ago
it seemed almost certain that the for
eign relations committee would take
favorable action on the resolution Of
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, which
seeks to have the ser ate record itself
in disaproval Of the coupling of the
league of nations project with tho
peace treaty. The resolution aims to
have the senate declare it to be the
of a league of nations should be con-
sidered separately from the treaty.
Can't Report the Resolution.
For a time it looked as If virtually
all the republican members Of the
committee would support the resolu-
ton and they would pick up enough
democratic votes in the ct mmittee to
favorably report the resolution to the
senate. A careful canvass now indi-
Gates that the republican members OF
the committee, as we'll as the republi-
can members of the senate, as a
whole, are split over the league of
nations propect and that enough
votes will be mustered in committee
to prevent the reporting of the Knox
resolution. The committee is to meet
Wednesday, and the information last
night is that 1T will not report the
resolution.
The shift in sentiment in the SEN
ate has been such as to prevent action
on the floor in condemnation of the
program for a league of nations. There
will be speeches, among them one to
be made by Senator Lodge of Massa-
chustts, later this week, in opposition
to the league of nations project. Be-
sides Mr. Lodge other senator's main
ly republicans, will speak against the
scheme. But a study of the present
situation indicates that the senate
will not embarrass the president to
the extent of formally recording itself
against the league of nations idea. at

least not while he is working for it in
Europe,
Influence of Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Taft is credited with being re-
sponsible in a large degree for the
sudden change in the announced de-
termination of senate republicans as
a whole to stand behind the Knox
resolution. Mr.. Taft, who advocated
the idea of a League Of Nations even
before the present war started, and
who feels that, unless provision is
made in the peace treaty for a League
of Nations, the project may be indefi-
nitely postponed, or absolutely lost,
has f'guratively rolled UP his sleeves
and served notice that he is prepared
to go before the country in a speak
ing campaign in favor of the plan if
senator's of his party undertake to
have the senate record itself in OPP
position to putting the project into
the peace treaty.
The ex-president has conferred
with members of the senate and has
taken the attitude in conference with
members of his party that the repub-
licans will be playing into the hands
of President Wilson and the demo-
cratic party in 1920 if they unite at
this time in condemnation of the
League OF Nations idea. Mr.. Taft
hopes there will be no fight in the re-
publican party over the League of Ma
tons idea, but is represented by close
personal friends to be of the opinion
that if there must be fight the soon
err the better.
Senator Lodge, In his speech this
week, will declare his belief that the
proposed League Of Nations is i'm
practicable There appears to be con-
siderable Misunderstanding of the at
titude of Senator Lodge in Paris. One
newspaper dispatch from Paris today
carried the statement that Senator
Lodges statement Of the League OF
Nations was accepted in certain quar-
ters in Paris as showing that the en-
tire country was behind President
Wilson on the principle.
The dispatch went on to say that
this understanding of the attitude of
Mr.. Lodge and Of the nation sis hav-
ing a damp ening effect on certain Eu-
ropean circles which were nourish-
ing the belief that Mr.. Lodge and the
President Wilson on the League Of
