THE sHYLock CAME

There are reports that the parties from whom the city borrowed money some time ago, are trying to squeeze up the interest to ten per cent fig ure.
 The city. in borrowing money on interest, was playing more the part of gentleman's agreement, than car rying out an authorized contract. Cities had no legal right to pay in- terest. Since the city money was bor- rowed the courts have discussed this phase Of the case with considerable public interest behind the discussion.
 1t Is not certain that the city will pay any more interest on the bor- rowed money than is fair and right On the other hand it is easily as- sumed that the city will refuse point blank to pay more interest than is right and fair There you are.
 This business of trying to put some thing over don't work so we'll even when attempted on public corpora tions. as it used to work Hot Springs isn't going to stand for the bunko game, Shylock ruined his reputation because of his greed for interest.
 Hot Springs, like other cities, is placed at disadvantage under the present constitution. If we had the authority to work out in the open we could borrow money on city credit at between and per cent. and get all we want, The constitution stands in the way of dealing as openly as we would deal. But even with a faulty constitution we will not he stuck up for an increased interest Of such pro- portions that it is absurd.

BIG LEAGUE MAY BE
 PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
IF BALL PLAYERS ARE 'cLASSED AMONG THE NON USEFUL CLASS CLUBS WILL BE
 DISRUPTED

Washington May 2i.-Whether the work or fight draft amendment an nounced today shall affect profes- sional baseball players and shall put the big leagues out of business for the period the war, will not be decided until the point is raised on appeal to the provost marshal generals office, after the regulation becomes effective July l. The war department was oombarded with queries on the sub ject soon after the new regulation was made public. At first it was indi- cated that ball players would be classed among those in on-useful oc- equations who must seek new jobs or go into the army Provost Marshal General Crowder announced, how ever, that there would be no decision until a case arose through official channels and later the war department issued the following statement
 ''No ruling as to whether baseball players or persons engaged in golf, tennis, or any other sport come under the regulations regarding idlers or non essential prusuits, will be made until specific case has been appealed to the provost marshal generals office"
 Secretary Baker explained that the status of baseball players has been discussed before the regulation was approved and it was agreed that the question could not be disposed of until all of the facts relating to the effect on the baseball business had been brought out through the hearing of case appealed froma local board The secretary did not profess to know how seriously application of the lule 10 professional ball players would affect the leagues. He did not know that a large majority of the major ! league players were of draft age and were exempted only because of de- pendents, but on the contrary was under the impression that most of
 them were outside the draft limits. The paragraph of the new regula- ton which may touch the ball play CTS is a subdivision of the enumera
 tion of classes affected, and says:
 Persons, including ushers and others engaged in and occupied in, and in connection with games, sports and amusements. excepting actual per formers, concerts, operas or theatrical performances

DRAFTED NON ESSENTIALS

Gradually the burden of war seeks level that is undisputably correct The preparations of a great nation for war when that nation had not even thought of war, was a gigantic task. and naturally it was subject to criti- cism
 Under the plan now of bringing in the men within the draft age to use ful occupations. the government is taking that other step that rounds out the scheme of equalizing the burden. The man who had not quite met tha physical requirements of soldier life. and who though apparently whole hpysically. spent his time in non essential work. or perhaps at no work at all, was not alone failing to help, but was hindering.
 The government no doubt will be very careful in drawing the line as to the non-essential occupations There are a whole lot of occupations that could be called non essential. but which still perhaps had better not be abandoned because of the moral effect. There are many occupations which though they give the young men chance to honestly earn money, are plainly non essential.
 The young men in the draft age can find places in which they can serve usefully as civilians. and if they do this perhaps that will settle the matter, If they do not, they will be drafted and placed at such posts of duty as the government may select for them.
 The war is not going to last always The way to shorten 1t up is to put strong force behind the cause of the allies The stronger our forces are, the sooner the whole war will end. And while sacrifices may appear strong at this time. yet 1t is better to make them now and make them voluntarily, and win the war quick, than to make them only when they are forced on us. and be at a greater disadvantage in the matter of bring ing victory to the freedom loving na- tions of the world.

MORE ENGLISH TROOPS.

Between 420,000 and 45O 0oe troops must be raised at once in Engand, according to Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of national service, who ad- dressed the House of Commons on the subject yesterday. These figures are given as the absolute minimum which probably means that more than half 8 million more men will be taken from the ordinary pursuits of civil life and placed in the army.
 That England needs more troops to back up those fighting the Germans in France and Flanders has hcen fore- cast for some time. With the great Spring Drive in the offing, with Ger many getting. ready to throw every ounce of her strength on the allied lines, every available man in the United Kingdom will be needed. The American army has sufficient mum bers on foreign soil to lend a helping hand All the men under the Stars and Stripes arc not yet ready for active service, but Secretary Baker stated on Saturday before the Senate Mili- tary Committee that the American army is ready at any time to give a good account of itself.
 What with the forces England can muster to take care of the con- certed drive on the part Of the Ger mans the Spring months should see some lively action. There are many who believe that the climax of the war is about due. If the Germans hope to force it by attacking the Allied lines when the open weather occurs so much the better. There will be an earlier peace than expected. For peace will como about in one of two ways. Either by a, equalization of the Germans or by a complete crusIring g rendered by the Entente Allies, ably assisted by the United States That England sees the need Of more troops and is on the way to get them should serve as Q tonic to those who are constantly fearing for tho worst
