Beef Cattle

The Rickart Kansas City report
says:
Most of the strength since the mid
die Of last week came from feeder
buyers, although packers showed
more interest today, and took all the
feshy steers. Good corn fed steers
sold up to $iS.l5, with prime steers
worth 1880, best Kansas grass steers
here &l7.25. The government has cut
out meatless days, and requested that
domestic consumption be restricted
to light weight carcasses. Action is
expected In Congress today on the
proposition Of reducing army beef
carcass limit to 400 pounds, and II
this is favorably considered, 1t will
be big boost for cattlemen every
where. Cows have taken the full ad-
vance since last week. Prices on all
grades are now netting profit to
most grazers and feeders.

The Coming Race

a new race of superinen in the
United States and decadent under
nourished, deteriorating race of infer
iors in the lands of the central powers!
That is what DR.. Harvey Wiley, head
of the bureau of food sanitation and
health, sees as the chief biological and
psy Geological r. suit of the war.
"The greater the stress under which
race is produced, providing it is
properly nourIshed during the process,
the stronger the race" says DR..
Wiley. Peace and luxury impair
racial efficiency. War and hardship,
hard living, constant struggle develop
1t.
when the war shall be over, with
America and her allies victorious, We
will see q greater America than we
have dreamed of. 1t cannot help but
be.
"a race that will go into n death
struggle with no plan of material gain,
fighting daily at the battle front for
an ideal, and at home depriving itself
of the material luXuries. must show
spiritual growth. Its millions Of SOL
diers facing the hardships Of trench
life will come back hardened and
stronger to endure.
Men returning, physically well
and strong from the war, where they
have been fed nourishing foods and
have lived an invigorating. outdoor
life, will be better fathers to better
children"

STAND BY THIS EMBLEM
Reprisals

When "a man attributes an evil mo-
tive to another, he reveals his own
character. His accusation is virtually
q confession. What he says amounts
to this: believe you have this un-
worthy motive because | should have
it II Iwere in your place.
This explains the German atrocities.
The Germans believe that by shooting
unoffendng civilians, by bombing
hospitals, by bayoneting babies, by
violating women, they can freighten
into submission the people whom they
are trying to conquer; and the reason
they believe it is they think Others
have the same traits that they them
selves have. They know that they
themselves could be terrorized into
submission, and therefore they think
others could be. A brute may fight
brAvely, but when pushed to eXtrem-
ity shows that at the bottom Of his
heart he is II coward.
We must keep this in mind in deter
mining what to do about German
atrocities. The Germans themselves
have given us the key to their char
acter. They have told us by their
atrocities what measures would he
effectual against them.
1t Is hard for us to believe this of
anybody; but it has been hard for
Americans to believe that anybody
was capable of doing what the Ger
mans have done. We are now begin
ming TO believe the incredible. We
know indeed, thst the Germans have
perpetrated crimes so horrible that
their description cannot be printed,
and have perpetrated them openly,
defiantiy, deliberately. boastingly.
That these crimes have failed to ter
rOrixe such people as the English and
the French, that such crimes will fail
to terrorize such people ~ the Amer
leans, makes 1t hard for us to believe
that there are people who could be
frightened and intimidated; but by
perpetrating these acts the Germans
havs ,old the world plainly that they
themselves could be intimidated.
And, hard as 1t is, we must again
come to believe the incredible.
II the Germans cannot be made to
stop their cruelty in any other way
and so far they have not been stopped
they must be frightened into stop
ping it. This is the justification for
reprisals.
That we shrink naturally from un-
dertaking acts of reprisal is no ade-
guate reason for failing to undertake
them. We shrank from going to war;
but that was q very poor reason for
our delay In going to war. Men shrink
from the kind of life that the soldiers
must lead in the trenches. The very
fact, however, that men shrink from
doing these things makes it all the
more honorable for them to do them;
providing the acts themselves are
justifiable.

COVELESKIE AGAIN WINS OVER TANKS
Indians Hit Three of Yanks Pitchers With Ease Ray
 Heating Starts Game.

Cleveland, July 27-The Yankees faced a fine opportunity to trim an ancient in yesterday afternoon when poor fielding by the Indians helped them to a two-run lead against Stem ley Coveleskie, but opportunity found the Huggins crowd away from home. The New York pitching caved in badly and through the breach the Indians galloped along to an easy victory by the score of 8 to 3.
 Lee Fohl's pennant chasers bumped Ray Heating off the hill in the second inning after collecting three runs on triple, two doubles, a single, a hit batsman, and a pair of passes. Hank Robinson came into the game with Speaker at the plate and the bases crowded and pulled out safely if only temporarily Slim Love was third choice and he proved the best of the lot, but his wildness presented the home team with it's last two runs.
 Coveleskie scattered the eight Yan- kee hits through six innings and did his best work against the slugging section of the batting order. Baker, Pratt, and Bodie as a combination reached first base once during the afternoon, Pratt getting a single in the first inning. Caldwell, with a dou- ble and two singles, and Hyatt, with two doubles, were. the only Yankees who had any success against the Cleveland pitcher.

Pirates To Oppose
 Locals Tomorrow

The game tomorrow between the League and the local baseball club Is sure to prove a thriller. The Pirates have been playing fine ball of late and Hugh Bezdek's team is now in third place in the league race.
 All of the big league teams regu- lars will be in the lineup including Bill McKechnie, the former Giant, Max Carey and Southworth the new young outfielder who is setting the league afire by. his wonderful hitting.
 The Americans will be represented by mostly the same players who kept them near the top rung of the East ern league ladder. The two Chinese players Tai and Vim have promised to be on hand for the games. Bridge port Howie Baker will be stationed at the dizzy corner while Aleck Fergu- son will be on the mound with Bill Skiff holding up his deliveries. Schwartz a member of the soldiers stationed at Seaside park will hold down the initial sack for the locals. He formerly played in the Southern League and Is highly recommended by Howie Baker who also played in this league. He is anxious to play against the Pirates because many of former teammates are in the visiting teams lineup.
 - Everybody should get to the field early for a crackerjack game is look ed for and also a record breaking crowd because it will be the first time the local rooters will have a chance to see their team in action in a week The game is scheduled to start at 3:15 with Fred Higgins offocisting.

Favorites Lose By Poor Starts in Yonkers Racing

Form players at Empire City yes terday met with more reverses than on any previous day and when the sport ended with the victory of Mrs. Godfrey Freezes Dainty Lady over c. Fellowes' Wonderman it marked the sixth favorite beaten
 In the Bronxville Handicap at a mile, which was the feature of the card, J. E. Wideners Pickwick would probably have won even if his chances had not been improved by the antics of an assistant starter. Mrs. R. l.. Bresler's Hank O'Day had been selected as the good thing for the event, but he dashed often at the bar rier when the other horses were not ready. The assistant starter attempt ed to check Hanks impetuosity by waving a whip in his face He was doing this when Mars Cassidy finally sent them away and kept on with the work so that Hank O'Day was de- layed until the rest of the field was several lengths in front.
 Pickwick in the hands of the crack Western jockey, Sande, jumped into the lead at once and set a, hot pace, though under perfect control, Hank O'Day made no attempt to get near the leader, and though the usually slow beginner Honovia was within a cou- pie of lengths of Pickwiclz on the turn her stretch run was lacking, or rather overshadowed by that of Pickwick, which breeezed away when let down. and won by six lengths. The time of 1:3S 4-5 is the fastest for a mile at the meeting, and only one-fifth of a second slower than the track record.
