WHAT BASEBALL MAGNATESS
SAY ABOUT DRAFT ORDER.

ever, II is the belief in some quar-
ters that organized leagues will be
permitted 10 finish out their sea-
sons without too great interference,
far outside of the public's desire for
the game. there are property rights
vested in baseball which call for
consideration.
Racing, like baseball, may con-
tinue throughout the present season
without any great handicaps, it is
said.

DEAFNESS CAN
 NOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness, and that is by g constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re suit. Unless the inflammation car be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases oi deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mu- cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi. cine acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Ca tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c.

SIGNAL MEN HUSTLE
They Have to Work Rapidly as
 Fight Rages.
Wire Connection Is Prime Necessity No Matter How Fast Shells
 May Fly.

With the American Army in France. The signal corps men had to do some fast work during the recent fighting to keep up with the infantry and te keep communications always open be- tween headquarters and the villages newly captured where the doughboys were.
 The signal corps was the connecting link between the infantry, artillery, ambulance service and headquarters. The signal corps did wonderful and lightning work. Every other depart ment says so.
 It's no cinch being the signal corps after a division that is continually gaining ground.
 ."As soon as the infantry makes a push you have to get a telephone line strung into the farthest ruins or woods or wheat field, no matter how many German shells are spattering madly over the area.
 Then, about the time you get wire stretched along the ground and in working order, call up headquarters to tell them, "This is the new post at Squeedunk; 1; give us a ring to see how she works" along comes another Boche shell and cuts the communication.
 There's nothing to do but go out and find the cut and fix it, and probably more Boche shells are trying to make more cuts in communication, or even cut you off.
 The signal corps had wires every where, in bushes, along the ground on poles left by the Boches, underground. through ruins. Headquarters say they never had such quick service. and they were never out of communication with regiments longer than the few minutes it took signal corps man to inspect the wires and repair a break. A signal corps man was stringing some wires across a wheat field. "Some war this" he said. 'I haven't had a sleep for more than two days. I SUD- pose I'd fall asleep on the job if it weren't for these shells that come whistling along. Duck. There comes onel"
 After it exploded he said, 'sThey kind of scared me at first. I thought every one was meant for me"

HUN SELLS SUPPLIES SEIZED
French Forced by Germans to Pay in Coin for Rations They
 Once Owned.

With the American Troops in France.--Renewed evidence of German ruthlessness in dealing with the civil ian population of invaded territories is contained in a captured army order. It prescribes the treatment and the procedure to be followed in a section south of the yesle river (Marne sali- ent).
 All the inhabitants capable of work ing, the order says, must be used for the needs of the army, regardless of their age. Their salaries" are to be paid in paper currency at the rate of 50 cents a day as the maximum for men; 40 cents for men and women be- tween the ages of seventeen and twen- ty; and 30 cents for boys from fifteen to seventeen.
 The inhabitants, however, must pay in French gold or silver for their ra- tions. The supplies, of course, were taken from the population before be- ing sold back to them.
