BALL GAME GOES
TO HOME DEFENSE
Police Nine Defeated in An
nuaI Charity Contest
by 7 to o.

Jack Ryan's Home Defense Guards
got sweet revenge yesterday for their
1917 defeat, when they waIloped Maj.
Pullman's finest at the American
League Park in a humorous game by
z to 0.
Nick Altrock showed himself as a
regular policeman in the early stages
Of the game, and, after rendering
first aid to the injured, when Umpire
Jimmy Hughes slid head first into
third base, after following Joe Giebel
around on his drive to left field, Nick
came over with the ambulance and
helped brush on the jumps with a
dipper.
In the sixth Altrock took up the
serious side Of the pastime and en-
tered the box to work two innings
for the Police as a relief pitcher, and
credited himself with glory. He set
down three by striking out, and in
the eighth inning he drove one of
Lyons curves to left field for two
bases. If his legs had not faltered
under him he would have been
around to third before the ball.

GERMAN CHILDREN PLAY WITH
HATE BREEDING TOYS.

While the man power of the empire
is taxed to the limit In carrying on
the INSPIRED war, German ingen-
uity still finds time to devise toys to
impress the children with hatred Of all
races not German and to amuse them
selves at play with images representing
destruction, suffering and death in
flicted by German kultur. Before the
war most Of the toys sold in the Unit
ed States were made in Germany"
but 1t will never be so again. But
Germany is still making toys for the
purpose above stated, thus hoping to
perpetuate in the rising generation the
hatred that forced the present war up
on the world and which, If not entirely
crushed, will wage other wars to sat
isfy German greed. In museum in
Paris there is collection of toys re-
Gently brought from Germany by way
of Switzerland, and writer in the
Chicago Daily News has the following
description of some of them:
Il examined a whole collection Of
inexpensive toy ruins made of some
plaster composition and ingeniously
colored to represent the debris Of in
cendiarism, ranging from the most
modest shattered cottages to the pre-
tension of smoke blackened chateaux
All these astonishing miniature ruins
are French In style and architecture,
for naturally the tragedies at which
German children will soon be playing
must all be supposed to take place be-
yond the German frontier.
There were also many sets of toy
soldiers, but the most striking of all
We're sets of soldiers in the postures of
the dying and the dead. Wounded
Russians were shown In every contor-
ton of agony. other toys feature the
Lusitania medal, with its CHASTITY
skeleton selling tickets to group of
passengers

MAGIC MEDICINE.
Duluth News Tribune

1t is not difficult for doctor to re
store the sick when he alone possesses
the one and only medicine that is a
sure cure. So it was easy for "Dr.
Wilson and Dr. McAdoo' by this
magic to make so sensitive a patient
as the railroads begin to feel better"
when they took control of the case.
The medicine in this instance is the
guarantee by the United States of div
idends equal to the average of the
three years preceding 1917. If the
railroads do not earn these dividends.
they VIII still be paid in cash, pro-
vided through congress by the people.
According to the preliminary esti-
mates Of the doctors" this will take
s10O.O00,000 for the first year, though
they will have the right to pool earn
lngs. terminals, tracks, cars and mo-
tive power, which the railroads were
denied. No matter If the manage
nent is bungled; no matter how trains
ire run, full or empty; no matter
what the mistakes, the dividends are
assured and the market naturally re-
ponded to the purse of America.

matters of common information now.
More than q year ago General Leonard
Wood, who has been forced into the
background by the administration,
pointed out the necessity OF immed-
late preparation In the ordnance de-
partment to meet just such an emer-
gency, and II his advice had been
needed We would not be Inundated by
the disastrous failure that has now
been laid bare. Even the New York
World, the most consistent defender
of the administration, calls for a
change in the ordnance division. and
the New York Times, another stall
wart administration paper, calls for
competent men to handle the war
machine, closing vigorous editorial
on the subject with these words:
AS was said before, nothing is to be
reformed or remedied by making Gen.
eral Crozier or any other bureaucratic
officer scapegoat. The system is
wrong, and even IL 1t Is readjusted--
reconstruction can hardly be expected
when expansion seems to be in favor
in Washington-there will still be de-
lays, omissions, evasions, obstruction
and blunder upon blunder until the
war Is conducted in the right spirit by
the government, that spirit 1t asks of
the people when they are expected to
sink self, make sacrifices, and CO.
operate to the last ounce of their
strength and to the utmost of their
mentality to win the war. That is
what many of the leaders of industry
and the ablest business men of the
country are doing when they work for
the government without remunera-
ton But 1t Is to be feared that men
high up In the government some
times think twice before they take
step or give an order upon which
political construction prejudicial to
them may be put. The political effect
of any act that is required for the
of the war should not be
considered for a moment. II equip
ment for the army or navy is to cost
more than was calculated, let the con-
tract be made and perilous delay be
avoided. If 1t is necessary to defy
the demagogues whether they be pol
'ticians or labor agitators, let them
be defied. Further. If any man. be
he high or low, doesn't measure up
to his job and gets in the way of the
war machine, let him be scrapped
Put competent men in the posts of
responsibility forget politics. cure the
lelay habit, and full steam ahead"

IDAHO Y. N. c. A. DRIVE
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
EXCEEDED APPoRTloNMENT BY
70 PER cENT-sMALL
EXPENSE.

The final report by counties in the
great Y. M. c. A. war work fund cam
paign, has been given out by r. E.
Randall, state manager, at Boise. 1t
shows Idaho more than made good in
the campaign. Its citizens gave $14S,-
900, 70 per cent more than the ap-
portionment Of $4,000 The cost of
collecting this sum was less than IL
cents on the dollar. With such large
territory to cover and many places re-
mote, 1t is felt that the expenses have
been kept at the minimum.
The total expense of travelling for
the state manager, district and county
managers was 1894. The other ex-
penses were for stenographic work,
rent for headquarters, paper printing
and the like. All the workers in the
campaign gave their services free, even
to the office manager. Following is
the report by counties in the four dis
tricts as mapped out:

EXTRA SESSION LEGISLATURE,
Feeling in Some Quarters Is That One
Will Soon Be Called,

According to the Capital News
which is supposed to be on confidential
terms with the governor and there
fore in position to speak with some
degree of authority, says that an extra
session of the Idaho legislature is not
improbable, according to those who
claim to be familiar with the subject:
For some time there has been
talk that a session extraordinary was
necessary to care for some of the is
sues that have come up since the last
session. Particularly with relation to
properly financing the state for the
war emergency.
While Governor Alexander had
nothing to say with regard to the mat
ter, it is known that he is giving the
subject serious consideration and is
the subjects, which many
claim, should be given the attention of
the legislature. Several responsible
parties have stated that they would
iot be surprised If decision was
cached to call the legislature in ses-
lion extraordinary"
