ECONOMIC RUIN
FOR GERMANY,
PAPER WARNS
'-:st Demand Equal Raw
Material in Peace,
Is View.

Fear for the economic ruin of Ger
many after the war becavae raw ma
trrials will be more quickly available
to allied factories. is expressed in an
article in the VossiChe ZeitunG quoted
IN diplomats dispatches received here
yesterday. So strongly does the paper
feel on the subject that it demands
equality for Germany in the raw ma
terial markets as a necessity FOR
peace.
We must require at any price. the
Zeitung says, that raw material be
delivered to US as rapidly and under
the same conditions as to our enc
mics, and we can not rest arms before
reaching this result. This is a danger
before which no German man can re-
main indifferent. OF what use to US
will be AIr most brilliant victories,
our greatest military and political
successes If our economic life is op-
pressed by enemies and can not re-
vive? All our sacrifices will nave
been made in vain"
Fought on Own Resources.
The paper frankly points out tnat
ing the war for four years on her own
resources, this has been done only
through the complete and efficient de-
votion of everything in the fatherIand
to the war. This very devotion, the
paper confesses, has practically wiped
out the great commercial enterprises
dependent for raw material on fielCs
absolutely controlled by the allies,
principally England and the United
States.
England, the paper admits, has al
ready gone far in conquering the
world markets in which Germany
competed. After the war it foressCs
that the English and American tac-
tories will spring into activity and
flood the world before German con-
Germs get the supplies with which to
begin production.
Says Hun VIII Dominate.
Despite the papers frank discussion
of this difficulty it still thinks that
the allies will not realize how to use
the powerful economic weapon in
their hands. The paper believes that
somehow Germany will be able both
to dominate by arms and to demand
from the owners Of the raw materials
that Germany be given an, equal
chance with the non-militaristic ma
tons in the pursuits of peace.
1t is a fact" says the dispatch
which transmits this opinion, that IL
Germany were deprived of raw ma
terials after the war. even for lin
tied number of years. a large part of
her industries would be completely
crippled and an unprecedented social
crisis would occur.''

Lawrence. Kan, May 23.-Not more
than six or seven athletes will be en-
tered in the Missouri Valley track
meet at Columbia, Mo-, May rs, ac-
cording to Coach w. o. Hamilton.
Lack OF material and the early closing
of the school of law at K. U. has
caused the small entry list
Carl Rice will enter the high jump
and 1t will be next to the last chance
that he will have to break the Mis-
souri, Valley record in this event.
Marshall Haddock. Jayhawker star
dash and weight man. will enter the
dashes and discus and possibly the
shot put. while Paul Murphy will run
in the half. Howard. a star jumper.
will compete in the pole vault and
broad jump. He has been doing good
In both of these events and should cop
first or second n the pole vault.
Ralph Rodkey will be entered in the
broad jump. The brother of Fred
Rodkey has been doing 81 feet Z
inches and IL he does that well in this
meet, he may take first. Deewall
probably will be taken to run the mile
and Oglevie is possible entry in the
two mile run.
Missouri has a large entry list this
spring in the valley meet and should
have little trouble in winning the
meet. Kansas is counted on to bring
home fifteen or twenty points.

WING STILL GOOD
Jack COombS Effective Pitcher
Despite Long Service.
After Two Years on Scrap Heap
He Did Comeback.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York. May 23.-Jack Coombs,
who left Colby college in 1905 to be-
come major league pitcher with the
Mackmen, and made good right off
the reel, it still rated as an effective
sla bman.
When his arm is right he is one of
the hardest pitchers in the National
league to beat, and he has long been
a hoodoo to the Giants. who have more
trouble beating him than any other
pitcher on the Robins staff.
This is Coombs' eleventh year as
major league pitcher, and he says 1t
will be his last. He announced his
plan to retire from the game during
and as he has earned big money and is
we'll -::heeled." he will probably make
good his plan to retire.
He Is Hcady Pitcher.
One of the remarkable things about
1915, when he signed with the Dodg-
released by Connie Mack He was out
of the game for two years-1913 and
1914-on account of injuries. and few
believed that he would ever be able
to pitch again. But, like all great
pitchers. Coombs pitches with his
head as well as his arm, and the "old
noodle" has helped him get by.
The ex-Mackman broke into the Sc
lect set of thirty-game winners in
1910, when he amassed a total of
thirty-one victories for the Athletics
and lost but nine games. The follow
ing year he came close to repeating
piiing up twenty-eight victories
against American league teams.

"Work or Fight" Regulations
Would Practically Ruin Game.
Magnates Undoubtedly Will Try
To Find a Way Out.

Washington, May 23.-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder's new Work or
Fight" regulations may require pro-
fessional baseball players either to en-
gage in some useful occupation or to
join the army.
The above dispatch, flashed to all
parts of the United States at 1923 this
morning, was the biggest bomb the
war has dropped into baseball circles
since the kaiser first went off his nut.
A strict Interpretation of the regula-
ton undoubtedly would mean that
practically every league in the coun-
try would have to suspend and Amer
ica's only distinctive game die in the
cause of war.
However, it is believed that sport
lovers and baseball men will immedi-
ately get busy and try to find a way
out if the regulation is put into effect
in accordance with General Crowder's
plans. Undoubtedly there will sbe
some baseball men who will think it
unfair to discriminate between base
ball players and actors and they will
claim that the national paStime is
Just as essential as stage amusements.
1t is probable that if the regulation
becomes a law some baseball men will
advocate more twilight baseball in
order to keep the game going, insist
ing upon the players doing some useful
work during the day and following
their profession of entertaining after
the days work is done.
Such a plan probably could be work
ed to a limited degree but it would
work a great hardship on the play
ers and it would hardly be practicable
except in the minor leagues.
