leans now count among their pris-
oners 81 members of the Second
German landwehr, who are the
most sadly disillusioned men from
the German emperor's army. The
men still are convinced they were
played shabby trick in being taken
prisoner, though they are quickly
becoming reconciled to their lot by
generous rations of food and to-
bacco.
The Germans for several days had
been coming unarmed out OF their
trenches, creeping forward to a
point midway between the two lines
where they had been given bread
and tobacco by the Americans
Their donors, they told an Amer
lean intelligence officer today, wore
crosses on their shoulders.
The other day when they came
over they were told that the next
time each would receive five sacks
of tobacco instead OF one sack

81 men came in group eager for

The Germans were Hospitality re-

split into small groups and invited
to come to another spot, where the

they were prisoners.
The Germans Indignantly de-
manded to be sent back to their

they could not be, induced to say
why they had been badly treated,

semi-ofhcial note issued at Vienna
today on Austria's reply to Presi-

"Austria was obliged to conform
to the methods of President Will
son, who had successfully replied to
three members of the triple alliance
and act apart from its allies. The
monarchy, which has formally
adopted President Wilson's line of
action. shares his opinion, as was
shown by the emperor's manifesto
to the peoples which, in proclaim
ing the liberalization of the mon
archy, exceeded President Wilson's
program.
However, the complete reorgan-
ization of Austria can only be car
ried out after an armistice. If Aus
tria-Hungary has declared itself
ready to enter into negotiations for
an armistice and for peace, without
awaiting the result of negotiations
of other states, that does not nee
essarily sigify' an offer of a sep
arate peace. 1t means that it is
ready to act separately in the inter

that club might intervene. Some star
might crack and leave a void that could
not be filled.
The top-notch baseball club, as mat
ter of course, must be a smoothly run
ming machine. 1t must have no dissen-
sion; its players must be friendly and

when the worry of grieved feelings
creeps into baseball club.
Happily, dissension has been driven
out of most clubs in the big leagues
with greatest emphasis laid on the first
division gangs. There was time not
so very long ago when things were
not going overly nicely among clubs
that had been picked to win pennants,
and for that reason they were left in
the rear.
It's called temperament in some quar-

say about both pennants. st. Louis

Congressional delay in passing the

With the status of railroad secur-

"The savings banks and other de-
positories of the average man hold

dent, as commander in chief should
be unhampered in his power to meet
any emergency that may arise. -
Absolutely no interference with the
taxing Of railroad property by the
states will come from the director

states are reasonable.
Representative Parker, New Jersey,
indicated that the director general
was not acting fairly in excluding
some small roads from government

ing that congress postpone decision

NEW FACES WILL
APPEAR ON TEAMS
Many Of Familiar Players
Will Be Missing From
Spring Training Camps
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Jan. 23-The wild call of
spring is about to send the athletes hy-
ing southwark. And the hying this year
is going to be considerably more af-
flicted with lonesomeness than at any
other time within the memory of major
leaguers and other spangled favorites Of
the populace.
The faces present, as matter of fact
will look like new layout for many
of the upper baseball class. A glance
into the army and navy would locate
many of the players who last year were
among those present.
The pennant hunt in the 1918 season
appears from a long distance glance to
be just as much of q guess as it was
a year ago. Transfers that have been
made during the winter, while benefit
ting some clubs, and laying injury on
others, nevertheless, leaves a balance
in both big leagues that should make
the dash, from barrier to the finish, a
hot one.
In the minds of most fans, of course,
there will be a spark of favorltlsm for
the White Sox in the American league
and for the Giants in the National lea
que. Just as in pugilism, baseball is
prone to string along with the old cham
pion until the sawdnst has been kick
ed out of its doll.
But-there isn't thing certain in
baseball. The late Harry Pulliam made
famous the remark: "Take nothing for
granted in baseball" There are clubs in
either league, which, if given the right
start, kept free of injuries, and allowed
to proceed at an even pace down the
