COX HAS TROUBLES
IN KEEPING STARS

Lieut.. Wesley Cox, manager Of the
Army Medical School. is having trou-
bles these days. When Lieutenant
Cox can get all his players together
he is able to give any of the teams
a battle. Witness games with the
Navy Yard and Clarendon, two of the
strongest teams in the city series. At
that Lieutenant Cox has lost several
crack players. Congers, Seachrist,
SchindIe. Well. Austin Howard, and
Venesl,y have been ordered away.
Hu!lfsh and Sharkey were injured
recently and cannot play.
Pretty tough on the Army Medical
School team, which started on by
trimming all the good teams around
this season. "We aren't going to be
last anyhow" says the lieutenant;
you can bet on it"
Operations signs two players for
Matthews and Blue. who are of their
list. Some say Manager Lane Lacy
went to Baltimore to land two first-
class performers.
Tom Crook has high regard for
players. Crook was discussing the
relative merits of two hitters. "why
that guy can put a bat between his
toes and hit better than him." says
Crook.
B. Cruikshanks, OF Commerce, put
up a good night to stay in the associa-
ton. His team failed to have nine
men on the field in uniform for one
game, and the association voted to
drop the club from the series.
Rex A. c. failed to measure UP to
the standard set earlier In the season.
Finney Kelly. Chef Lyons, and Lefty
Brown pitched frst-class ball. but
were beaten or tied for their work.
Operations and Navy Yard have a
game to play yet, and It is expected
that this will be one of the warmest
arguments in the series. Operations
has lost Watt and Matthews from the
infieId.

WITNESSES SAY
 SHEA SALOONS
 IN WRONG PLACE

John A. Shea personally is not ob- jectionable as a liquor seller to the Y. M. c. A.. but the place he occupies, almost across the street in Main street, is very objectionable, remon- strants against renewing Shea's license told the County Commissioners yes- terday' afternoon. Shea applied for a renewal of his license November last, and remonstrance was filed against him, which has since been pending Besides the Y. M. c. A. some of the financial interests object to a saloon in that locality.
 Judge John s. Pullman represented the association. None of the witnesses objected to Shea personally, Fbut ob- jected to the place which is within 200 feet of the Y. M. c. A. building Judge Pullman contended this is within the law prohibiting saloons near charitable institutions. Secre- tary W. S. Lacey said Shea conducted the place properly, and if there is to be a saloon there Shea is a proper person to run it. Others said the proximity of the saloon is harmful to the members.
 Shea testified in his own behalf Manager E. L. Lynch of the Park theatre did not see any objection to the location of the saloon, and others expressed similar opinion.

GERMAN PEACE TERMS

HE FORMER Dutch Minister of War, Jonkheer Colyn has communicated to the government of Great Britain it IS said at The Hague certain German proposals stated as folIows-
 1-Germany to all claims in the West
 2-Restoration of Belgium.
 3-Asace-Lorraine to be autonomous, within the German federation
 4-The status in the East to remain as at present
 5-Ausra to make certain concessions to Italy in the Trentno
 6-Balkan questions to be solved by an interna- honal conference.
 7-A colonial questions affecting Africa and Asia Minor to be settled by conference all the belli- gerents
 8Germany to abandon all claims to her former Chinese protectorate of Kaochau but in exchange to receive certain economic concessions in China. These proposals not especially tempting They are significant proving that the German command feel renewal of confidence following the great offensive proposals will not commend themselves to the sense of mankind The restoration of Belgium is necessary dion of peace Autonomy for AsaceLorrane is conces- sion which falls short of the moral the French for the repatriation of the people of this territory.

EDWARD JENNER.

The middle of May marks very important step in medical annals for it was at this time in the year 1796 that Edward Jenner conclusively es- tablished he important principles of vaccination. He proved that it was possible to propagate the vaccine af- lection by artificial innoculation from one human being to another, and thereby communicate security to those who are liable to smallpox. In letter to his friend Gardner the great discoverer thus modestly ex- presses himself on this memorable ex- pertinent:
 "A boy of the name of Phipps was inoculated in the arm from a postule on the hand of young woman, named Sarah Nelmes, who was infected by her masters cows. The boy was in noculated for the smallpox which, as I ventured to predict, produced no effect"
 Never did discovery 1-leet with so violent an opposition. War was waged against vaccination in medical schools and in the press and it was yearfs before the benefits of vaccina- tion were universally recognized. AS it is, there are today even some per sons who oppose it.

Burglars Wartime Profits.

New York burglars are in their hey dey since the war has caused high prices of silks, woolens and other goods in which they deal. The Burg lary Insurance Underwriters associa- ton announces that burglars have pro- cured more than s1,000.OO0 worth of loot since the WET began. Servant girls have been found who touch their fingers and thumbs with a new skin preparation and thus fool the Bertillon clerks. Burglars of the ordinary vari- ety have been found hauling their loot through the busy streets in daylight hours, using borrowed vans.
