HELD NoN-PRoDUCTIVE
MAY INCLUDE MOTION PICTURE AND LEGITIMATE ACTORS IN SHORT TIME; DECISION GIVEN ON APPEAL OF EDWARD AIN SMITH OF WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, July 19-Proies- sional baseball players of draft age must work or fight immediately. and the draft regulations may be changed soon to include theatrical performers and moving picture players and em- ployes among those who must seek new jobs or face induction into the army.
 Secretary Baker in an unqualified decision holding the game a nOn-prO- ductive occupation and saying, so far from amending the regulation to ex- empt ball players, he believed the scope of its provisions should be so enlarged as to include other classes of persons whose professional Occupa- tion is solely that of entertaining
 Legitimate theatrical performers were specifically exempted in the orig inal work or fight order of the pro vost marshal general, and a recent ruling placed in this class actors and skilled men employed in producing moving pictures.
 The secretary's decision was given on an appeal in the case of Edward Ainsmith. veteran catcher of the Washington American league club, whose deferred classification on &C., count of a dependent wife and child recently was revoked by a local draft board. All arguments against the rul- ing and in favor of a suggestion that the regulation should be modified in favor of the sport were swept aside by MT. Baker He held that baseball as a business does not differ from other civilian peace-time industries which must make sacrifices in the stress of war and moreover that it is by no means certain that so many players are of draft age that the organization will be disrupted. AS to, the claim that baseball players. having devoted themselves to the game are not fitted to adequately support their families by labor in other lines, he said it is quite in view of the fact that ball players are men of unusual ability, dexterity and alert ness.
 The point that baseball has been ac- cepted as the national sport and is for many workers and business men the only opportunity for wholesome outdoor relaxation and enjoyment was treated as a serious one. But the sec retary declared times were now nor nal. that other means of recreation 1 could be found.
 No statement was forthcoming as to l just what steps would be taken 10 meet Mir. Bakers view that the scope 1 of the work or fight regulation shOuIa I be enlarged.

advances had been made by the Fran co-American forces during the day. or ficial advices from General Pershing led to the hope that SOissons, nearly ten miles inside the German lines night before last, would be in allied hands within a short time. Rumors that it had already fallen and 30.000 additional German prisoners had been taken were in circulation but not ad- ditional advices from General Per shing had arrived at a late hour MT. Baker indicated the high hopes of war department officials in issuing the fol- lowing statement:
 The attention of the world is focused on the tremendous counter blow being delivered by General Foch. Gradual extension of these operations to the east is indicated in the press dispatches, but as yet is not officially confirmed. The gain on the front of the original counter thrust has been deepened. narrowing the salient. and making the position of it's German Oc- cupants less and less tenable. We have no report of the capture of Soissons. but the battle has been raging at that part of the front and the fall of Sois- sons seemed to be indicated by the progress made at the time of the latest official dispatch.
 Tho significance of this movement lies in the fact that the supreme com mander evidently feels that the allied

A GOOD IDEA.

A worthy citizen Of our community advanced
the idea yesterday that this year in giving
Christmas gifts to relatives and friends during
the holiday season. as has been the custom here
tofore in lieu of trinkets and other things nom
essential gifts should be Thrift or a War Saw
ing Stamp or a Red Cross membership, or some
thing of that nature.
He pointed out that it was the duty of the
local paper to take up the suggestion in earnest.
The idea is good. inasmuch as such a gift
would serve two purposes. 1t would teach thrift
at the same time help the government Let the
giver obtain thrift stamp. attach one or more
stamps to it and let that be this years Christ
mas present. Nine times out of every ten the
recipient will see to Il that it is filled promptly
by his own saving. We can readily see the ad-
vantage. Let us bear that in mind this season.

is charging rate of only forty percent on in

peace by that time. The offer OF sixty percent

Warning against the renewal of
German aggression in the Americas
was sounded here today by Latin
American diplomats.
Opinion was expressed at the va

Teuton influence has suffered least
In South and Central America and
Mexico and that special attention
must be given the matter at the
peace conference to prevent immedi-
ate resumption of general German

ravages of war include:
1. German propagandists and plot
ters in Mexico.
2. Substantial Teuton gold re-
serves in neutral Argentina, Vene-
zuela and Colombia.
.. German military and colonial in
fluence in Chile.
4. German-owned and controlled
sugar plantations. refineries and other
industries in Peru.
5. Thriving Teuton colonists of
southern Brazil
6. Power OF small German traders
throughout Latin America.
Trade Almost Normal.
Diplomatic opinion is that Germany

Only the British black list and the
