EXIT BASEBALL.

Secretary of War Baker has ruled
that baseball players are not exempt
from the Provost Marshal Generals
work or fight" order. This means
that all professional players of mill
tary age must either secure essential
occupations or place themselves liable
to Immediate induction into the serv-
ice. This ruling is deplorable in a
way, as it will deprive thousands of
healthy, innocent amusement, but I'M
could hardly have decided otherwise.
The order states specifically that
those connected with games are con-
sidered to be non-essentia1ly engaged,
and of course this includes baseball
players. 1t is hardly to be expected
that there will be found enough &C
tive and capable players above or be-
low the draft age to enable the mag
mates to continue their schedules.
Already the heads of the respec-
tive major organizations have de-
cIared themselves willing to abide by
the ruling and to close the baseball
parks, if necessary. A number OF
"stars" have been working in ship
building plants for months. And all
the rest of the players, without excep-
ton will surely be ready to "do their
bit'' when called upon.
Baseball has representatives at the
front who have shown their worth on
the battlefield as we'll as on the dia-
nond. Their colleagues who are af-
fected by this ruling will do well tc
emulate the splendid example they
have set.

Control of Wire Lines,

(From the Springfield Republican,
The votes by such conservative re-
publican senators as Mr.. Knox of
Pennsylvania and Mr.. Colt of Rhode
Island for the wire control bill broke
up a possible alignment that might
have suggested the shaping of issues
for the republican party in future po-
liticaI campaigns. A few republican
senators who participated in the SELL
ate debate last week protested to see
i'll this grant of discretionary power
to the president to take over wire sys-
TENS for the national Defense" in
case of emergency, the last STEP
toward socialism although in Great
Britain the telegraph and telephone
services have always been under gov
eminent jurisdiction and Great Britain
is still some distance from socialism.
There was not a little exaggeration in
the declaration of the Indiana sena-
tor, Mr.. Watson, that the passage of
the bill meant a fight 20 death" with
socialism after the war. While such
fears are prevalent, owing to the vast
extension of government authority
over the cOuntry's business and indus
tries, it was plainly impossible that the
senate should be controlled by them IN
deciding it's course.
1t is undeniable that emergencies
may arise in which our government
like every other government on earth,
should take possession of the wire
systems and operate them: and such
emergencies most easily arise in time
of war. 1t would be an absurd state
of affairs to have the gOVernm emit in
possession of the railroads yet denied
by Congress the specific right to con-
troll electrical communications. This
view finally commended itself to the
large majority of senators as the only
practical one, and the burden of &C
ton Will now rest upon the president.
The country will expect from Mr..
Wilson a wise restraint and caution
in exercising his power. If he. should
take possession of any particular wire
system he would be likely to have
reasons justifying his course, and con-
sistent with "the national Defense" It
would surely be folly to overload the
government with new burdens in
these times merely in order to please
government ownership advocates; nor
is it quite Ineligible that the Presi-
dent would take such a step merely
in order to crafty a passion for pow
er. Mr.. Wilson is undoubtedly keenIy
conscious of his duty to conceive of
the tremendous executive power
lodged in his hands as a means to an
end, and what that end is no one has
equaled him in explaining since the
United States entered the war

Food Substitutes.

(DetrOlt Free PreSS)
Speaking broadly, a great deal of
! plain and fancy nonsense is being
scattered broadcast in present time
discussions of food substitutes This
is not to say that such discussions are
uniformly Improbable, nor yet to in
Innate that it is less than wise to be
IookinS after and making use Of all
possible substitutes for those food
stuffs to which those of us behind the
fighting men nave been so long &C
customed and which must be econ
omized for the winning Of the war
But it is to plead for scientific rather
than hysterical treatment of the
whole matter.
To illustrate: Certain enthusiastic
food savers urge free use of pigweed
and dendeIions. Yet anybody &C
quainted with the consequences
knows that consumption Of these
greens must be limited. very limit
ed, if serious injury to health is to be
avoided. Other conservationists call
attention to cabbage and tomatoes.
But both are mere filters, camou-
f1age, so to say. On Il diet of cabbage
and tomatoes starvation is not only
possible but probable. SaWdust pud-
dngs are as life sustaining and as
energy producing as sauerkraut and
CatSup.
Vegetarians are having their day in
which to exploit nuts as meat substi-
tutes. Scientists Of some reputation
indorse this theory. One worthy gen
tleman points out that monkeys live
largely on nut foods But what would
happen if the American people at
tempted to supply their tables for say
1+cO to
that there wouldn't be left enough
nuts on the American continent to
supply one family of squirrels for
single season.
Nor can we all substitute fruits for
meats and wheat. Production is in
adequate, that's why
AS things stand, the individual can
use as many substitutes as are in his
or her reach and manage thereby to
get along not only tolerably well but
to improve in purse and in health
and at the same time give patriotic
service Broadening the food list will
prove a wide and lasting benefit.
But what is needed just at this time
is some coordination and appica-
ton of the food lessons which are be-
ing so inexpensively and profusely
produced and set before us. Why not
a coherent planned campaign for
planting more nut and fruit trees, for
Instance? Roadsides and waste or
Impoverished lands might thus be
proftably utilized. Why not a drive
for increased acreages of oats, barley,
corn, carrots, potatoes, sugar beets
and the like? Why not a campaign
for more goats, more rabbits, more
bees. more fish ponds? Then we
might "get somewhere. AS it is our
discussions seem to lead to the mimi
mum of action.

America in the Right.

little country of America was born,
and like an oak tree, that little
country grew until it is upon its
142nd birthday, one of the biggest in
the world.
Today we are attacked by a merci

spect the laws of humanity, nor rec

who seems to have Il compact with
Beelzebub, and whose deeds might

Can we countenanCe such lnhuman
actions? Has the sacrifice of our
Brave forefathers been made in vain?
Can we attend to our own selfish in

of bleeding France? Can we look our
own daughters and wives in the eyes
before we have avenged the wrOnged

we enter our homes and see our own

youths and babies bayoneted by the
barbarous German? Can we break
bread at our meals without being

trymen starving in German prisons?
Never!
america must fight: United we
must work together. We must stand
behind those brave boys whom we
have sent over to France. We must
do our part and keep them supplied
with food, ammunition and courage.
We must prove that even if we can
not fight, at least we can help those
who do fight. We must show the

Cotton Warehouses.
.INro podeord Marcurv

(NeW Bedford Mercury
For several decades the suggestion
that cotton might be shipped direct
from Southern cotton ports to the
port of New Bedford met the re-
Spouse that there were inSuperable
reasons why this was impracticable.
Then the war came and presto, the
thing was done. There is consider
able interest to know what would be
the effect here of the plan proposed
by the National Association of Cot
ton Manufacturers for the establish
ment of a chain of cotton ware
houses, financed in part by the gov
crnment. located in the cotton ship
ping and consuming centers, such
warehouses to be operated under the
United States warehouse act, under
direct control of the secretary of
agriculture.
The plan, we understand, contem-
plates building at New Bedford, on
land adjacent to the water 'front.' at
least one warehouse with capacity
Of one hundred thousand bales, in
creasing the present warehouse facil-
tiles at this port by One-third. The
cotton growers and shippers of the
South realize that with an enormous
cotton crop of fifteen million bales,
such as is anticipated, a serious prob
lem is presented. The planters are
cut off to a large extent from for
eign market. Great Britain has placed
q restriction upon cotton exports
from this country based upon actual
needs, which are fixed at about sew
enty-five per cent of the capacity of
the cotton mills. In normal years
the export trade would afford a mar
ket for ali surplus American product,
the British manufacturers gladly TAX
ing on a couple of million bales
season over the amounts actually
needed.
If the war continues and the mar
ket is largely restricted to the United
States, the large crop may bring de-
moralization to the cotton market I'M
less the government will undertake
to protect it in some way. One plan
proposed by the Southern planters is
for the government to purchase the
cotton crop, transaction involving
the expenditure of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars The alternative plan,
sanctioned by the National Cotton
Manufa cturers' association is the
Warehouse proposition. The growers
or shippers can ship the cotton to
government warehouses where re-
ceipts may be issued which will be
accented as collateral in case it is
desired to hold cotton for Il better
market. These receipts can be used
as a basis for bankers and trade ac-
ceptauces and would be negotiable
into cash. Spot cottons could be
dealt in between persons entirely un-
known to each other and reflections
would not figure, the receipts guar
anteeing grade and weight.
This would be very advantageous
for the Southern planters for obvious
reasons. It would give advantage to
the port of New Bedford: whose i'm
portance as a cotton shipping port
for this section would he enhanced.
Since the plan is device for main
tanning cotton prices II in1sht' ar
first thought, not seem one over
which tba cotton manufacturers

would enthuse. The cotton manufaC-
turer. however, feels pretty certain
that the government will afford some
measure of protection to the cotton
growers of the South as it has to
Ta1Sers Of grain and other commOd-
ues. rms might come in a measure
OF price fixing for the raw material,
measure, by the way, which is not
seriously opposed by cotton manufaC-
turers of the North.
Another advantage of the New Bed
ford manufacturer would lie in the
fact that the plan would insure a
supply OF raw material at a time
when a lack of transportation facili-
ties are giving greater concern than
prices. An obstacle which would
seem to be insurmOuntabIe is the diff
ficulty that would be experienced in
completing warehouse in New Bed
ford to house a hundred thousand
bales of cotton and have it ready to
receive fall shipments

Woman's remarkable strength in

complete returns of the recent en-

What is even more interesting tn
