DECISION TODAY

Washington officials Have Arrived at
Reply, Which Will Be Published at
Once.
Washington, July 25. - Secretary
Baker, late yesterday. postponed until
today his decision on extending the
effective time of the work or fight reg
ulations as they apply to professional
baseball players. 1
Provost Marshal General Crowder
was ready to place his recommends &
lions before the secretary, after rN-
ceiving a brief from the national base I
ball commission, but the secretary was
unable, because of the press of more
important business, to take up tho
matter.
The secretary said he would con-
slider the brief and General Crowder's
recommendations tonight and expects
ed to announce his decision in theS
morning.
| National and American league off,
Gals and club owners hope that Sec-'1
rotary Baker will extend the time off
putting the order into effect until the
! end of the season.
They base this hope upon the secre-$
tary's previous statement that it. wasa
not certain that the baseball Industry
would be disrupted by operation,of the
order and their belief that they hadA
presented facts that will convince himy
that professional leagues will have to
suspend unless the order is modified 4
| General Crowder was told by thy
baseball representatives that if Thea
regulations were enforced now, lesse
than so players would remain in thel
two major leagues and that therdd
would be no time in which to recruit1
new players to enable the clubs to@

THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know I ought to take treatment;

last year or two. l am all tagged out,
have no ambition, worry from morn
ing till night, don't care whether [
am dead or alive, have lost weight and

to pay for the treatment"
You are paying for it NOW, my
friend, and dearly; yet you do not
get it.
Let me tell you why.
Your health is your capital; your
working capacity is the interest you
are drawing.
A good manager never spends more
than his interest.
Should he begin to draw on the
capital his interest would, of course,
decrease.
And what are you doing?
You allow your health to run down
more and more; therefore, you cam
not work and earn what you used to.
DO you see the point? You are draw
ing on your capital--Which is your
hC3ltn--DY Allowing IL ~ run uOWlJ,
and so the interest (your working
| capacity is steadily growing smaller.
You used to make good money;
! now you earn about half of what you
used to get.
To make two, three or four dollars
was play to you; and you had all
your heart and soul III your work.
| These happy days ere gone.
You now barely make a living and
i find it almost beyond your strength
And you shudder at the thought OF

| Figure out in dollars and cents
what you have lost already and you
will be amazed at the amount; and

The dollar you MIGHT earn, but

! You spend it. And what do you get
for it. Worry, anxiety, dependency

The dollar you take out of your
pocket and spend for treatment with

RAIN INTERFERES AT.
ST. MARY'S GROUNDS
Corinthians VS.. Annex Game Fri
day Night-AtbletiC Notes

Due to freakish weather conditions
last evening the twilight baseball game
at ST Mary's playground between the
Corinthians of Hartford and the An
mex of this city was able to go only
five innings, but those five innings
were replete with fast baseball and
another good game is assured when
the two teams clash again on Friday
at $50 o'clock.
AT $50 o'clock last evening 1t
was raining hard in the center of the
city and as a result the Annex team
did not go to st. Mary's field. The
Corinthians on the other hand had
come down from Hartford and the
rain did not touch St. Marys field
at all. The misunderstanding was
cleared up when Director A. a. Pilz
used the phone to advantage and the
Annex, with several substitutes, hur-
ried to the field.

The Serf Soul

Germany winning was offensive enough;
Germany losing is worse. Her psychol-
ogy in defeat proves the theory of fear.
The German people, themselves ruled by
fear, know no other way to rule, hardly
that any other way exists.
Fear makes them frghtful in war.
Only the brave can be generous in COM
bat.
Fear betrayed them in Belgium, like a
lot Of craven murderers. The terror Of
guilt was transformed into rage that
could be expended on the victim, so they
mutilated a corpse which possibly they
had intended to bury decently
Fear causes them to move and act and
think in masses or packs, like wolves.
Hence they fight we'll only in close for
nations Hence they are not political
Hence they are first cruel beyond any
other people in the world pretending to
be civilized, and then abjectly cringing.
Fear determined the development of
their weapons, notably the sneaking u
boat, designed for assassination, and the
Zeppelin, an instrument of murder in the
other element
Fear caused Germany to declare war
when she did and to begin it as she did
Fear strikes the first blow when the ad-
versary is not on guard This can be
boasted Of afterward, however. only by
people who do not know what the emo
tion of true courage is. Hindenburg ex-
horting his people to consider the
French, how much more they have suf-
fered and how better they stand it, is
himself unable to understand it. He
thinks the French are perhaps more
obedient. German soil is still untouched
On the West front the Germans have
lost as yet only what they gained in their
spring offensive But whereas the French
were gloriously steady and brave and
clear at the high moment of the struggle
for Paris, the German morale is now so
low that military steps have to be taken
to prevent the spread of despondent
rumors.
The difference is of the soul That of
the German is still the soul of a serf.
1t has been thought that when at length
he should be put to the defence of his
own soil he would be terrible indeed But
it may not be. He may collapse utterly.
You cannot imagine him lighting a losing
game to the end. That is a glory reserved
for the brave
New-York tribune., 1918-09-09
A Compliment to MIR. Kitchin

Mr.. Kitchin, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. deserves to be con-
graduated on his presentation of the
ight-billion-dollar revenue bill. 1t was
fair and large and sound At one point
he stated the whole case in principle 1t
was not a fifth nor quarter nor third
of the war bill that should be paid by
current taxes, he said, but ALL that was
possble and the. limit Of taxation should
be only the impossible.
So we believe. SO we think every one
believes who looks deeply into the ques-
tion and sees the dangers that pile up as
imitation proceeds. Borrowing tends to
produce imitation. 1t cannot be helped.
Taxation tends to check initiation and to
keep down the cost of the war.
New-York tribune., 1918-09-09

these nine nations include Germany, Aus
tria, Turkey and Russia. The first three
have recently and repeatedly violated
and are now actively and continuously
violating not only every treaty but every
rule of civilized warfare and of inter
national good faith
During the last year Russia under the
dominion Of the Bolsheviki has betrayed
herself, has betrayed her allies, has be-
come the tool of the German autocracv.
and has shown such utter disregard Of
her national honor and plighted word and
her international duties that she is now
in external affairs the passive tool and
ally of her brutal conquerer, Germany.
What earthly use is it to pretend that
the safety of the world would be secured
by a league in which these four nations
would be among the nine leading part
ners?
Long years must pass before we can
again trust any promises these four ma
tions make. Any treaty of any kind or
sort which we make with them should
be made with the full understanding that
they will cynically repudiate it whenever
they think it to their interest to do so.
Therefore, unless our folly is such that
it will not depart from US until we are
brayed in a mortar, let us remember that
any such treaty will be worthless unless
our own prepared strength renders it
unsafe to break it.
After this war the wrongdoers will be
so punished and exhausted that they NAV
for number of years wish to keep the
peace. But the surnst way to make them
keep the peace in the future is to punish
them heavily now. And don't forget that
China is now useless as a prop to a
league of peace simply because she lacks
effective military strength for her own
defence.
Support any such plan which is honest
and reasonable. But support it as an
addition to, and never as a substitute
for, the policy Of preparing our own
strength for our own defence.

Won Hintze's Cynical Jest

Admiral Won Hintze, the new German
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
is truly Bismarckian in his cynical con-
tempt for the German newspapers. Bis
marck used to talk about the 'reptiIe
press with which Germany was afflicted.
His remarks applied, Of course. to news
papers which took orders, not from him,
but from his political opponents.
1t has just been disclosed that the
Prussian government subsidies even
professed radical newspapers like the
Berliner Togeblatt and professed Social
ist organs like Vo11vdrts. All the reptiles
have been safely shepherded into the
government snake house. But Won Hintze
instead of CLOSING over that situation
as military necessity" and compli-
menting the German editors on the i'm
posing solidarity of censored and sub
sldlzed newspaper opinion has the bad
taste to rail at them for their reptilian
characteristics. At reception which
he gave to German journalists in Vienna
he had the sardonic effrontery to saw to
his guests:
Among our enemies the press works
under state control, and the newspaper
writer failing to represent the government
view IS simply sent to prison.
We in Germany and Austria Hungary
on the other hand, stick to a free press.
Even under wars compulsion we do not
want to shackle public opinion. Only in
that way does politics promise success.
That is nv DrOfOund cnnvi ict;o
1t was shallow and bitter jest. A free
German press is contradiction in terms.
Neither thought nor speech is free in
Germany even in time of peace And no
German editor, even the most debauched
and reptilian, has ever had the hardi
hood to assert, with his tongue in his
cheek that German newspaper opinion
ever has been in the remotest degree
free.
1t is cruelty to animals who tramp
or crawl about their narrow cages to
tell them that they live unhindered in
the open air. Yet it is the fixed idea
of the German ruling class that the un-
derworld which they lord over loves to
be fed on falsehood. 1t is the failing
of German psychology to accept any lie
if only that lie emanates from some
high command Nevertheless, the editors
in Vienna must have WINGED to hear Won
Hintze say to them that only among Ger
many's enemies does the press work
under state control and that only enemy
journalists face terms in prison for fail
ing to represent the governments views.
What is the real status of the German
press? One of the most courageous and
enlightened modern Germans, DR.. Will
helm Muhlon, has told US all about it in
