 IN LEAGUE FOR WAR WORK

The St Louis Catholic Woman's League, started 10 months ago, has become one of the strongest organ izations doing war work at home, according to Walter G. Hooke of the National Catholic War Council. Following the suggestion of Archi- bishop Glennon, this league be- came affiliated with the Red Cross and Womans Committee Council of National Defense.

 This organization took Up this matter with the attorney general of the United States several weeks ago.

ROOSEVELTs STATUS

Theodore Rooseyelt's refusal to run for governor of New York is mauitestIy the part of wisdom. Ht usefulness is national, not local. The Empire state. everlastingly in a political row, has TO real problems demanding his services. He, doubt less. easier thany any other Repuo- fcan. could efface Whitman and thus r-atisy the party stalwarts led by William Barnes, Roosevelt's implac' able foe of other days but bigger things than political rivalry or any mans effacement command the ex- presidents attention and engage his talents in this crisis.
 If seditou ran rampant and the commOnwe ealth's support of the gov erument were in question, if con d.tiou existed or 3 situation were developing that tended to endanger the states loyalty and give aid and comfort to the enemy, then undouot rJly he would respond to the cal os duty heroically and aggressively. 4 communicating Of his srevices would not be required.
 But New York is not so threaten ed. Its steadfastness to flag and country is beyond dispute. Any a. larms on that score sounded at this juncture are at best mere bugaboos produced for political effect. To al low himself to be diverted and dis tracted by a campaign involving is sues oF prohibition and woman suf- frage and the overthrow of Whit man would be. the height of folly on RooseYeIt's part. His vision is too clear for such g mistake. He says:
 My work is for the men who are fighting in this war. My mind dwells continually on the problems of rhe war, on the international prob lems of the peace which is to close and justify the war and on the tre- mendous problems we shall face aE- ter the war"

GIVES DECISION
 ALASKA BARRELS

The firm of w. A. Keller and Ralph c. Cunning, who are operat- ing a sawmtll near Seldovia on Kachimack Bay, Alaska, recently requested that they be advised by the Commissioner of the General Land Office If the shipping of fish in barrels made from timber legally cut from the public lands of Alaska would be considered a violation of the law prohibiting the export of timber so cut. In other words, the fishermen in that locality require barrels for salmon and herring ship ment, and while these barrels are not exported as a manufactured pro duct, they are sent out 80 packed.
 The Commissioner, In replying to the inquiry of Keller and Dunning, stated that during the past season between six and seven thousand bar rels were used on Kschemack Bay alone for packing herring and many more barrels are In demand now. Heretofore these barrels have been shipped to Alaska from Seattle at a cost delivered of $2.25 each. The millmen now contemplate going in-. to the cooperage business to. supply the demand for barrels for fish ship ping purposes, and the question a. rises as to the possible liability to the Government for the timber.
 The Commissioner in his decision states that:
 the prohibition emDodied in the Act of May IA, 1898 (3O Stat, 41D against the export of timber cut from the public lands Of Alaska undoubtedly extends to the manu- factured product Of such timber Off sold from that district as manu- factured lumber prcducD but the further provision that such sales shall at all times be limited to actual necessities for consumption in the district suggests that with the manufacture of the timber into barrels and their sale n the district for a specific purpose, the require ment of consumption in the dis trict' is mot and their subsequent use as a carrier for commodity lawfully exported is not violation Of the law. The export is not of barrels as such but hojlders or car riers necessarily required in the ship ment of fish. It would seem an unreasonable restriction to compel the importation of barrels at high cost for the purpose stated"
 The decision further states that the Government will offer no objec- ton to the use of timber cut in ac- cordance with the rules and regula- tions as embodied in the circular ap- proved by the Secretary of the In terior uJly 19, 1916 (45 L. D., 250) governing sales of timber as provid- ed by the Act of May IA, 1898 (S0 Stat, 414) for the manufacture of barrels under the conditions stated.

The War Department authorizes the following statement from the of- flee of the Surgeon General:
 Many -intentIoned individuals have offered to take crippled sol diers into their servcie as watchmen' messengers, and in positions of siml- lar character. While the spirit in which these offers are made is ap- preciated, they conflict. with the policy O. the Medical Department of the Army. ..
 From the time a wounded sol dier is taken to the field hospital he is encouraged to understand that the seriousness of his wounds will not render him worthless for use ful work. The work of reconstruct ing him both physically and men tally Is carried on simultaneously,
 At the present time there are many soldiers in the Army hospitals, in this country who have been crip-I pied tr the course o' duty. In many cases. these men are receiving the preliminary training which will be finished by civil boards authorized to continue, the work begun by the Surgeon General It is hoped that business men in general will accept these trained men on an equal foot ing with men who have not been crippled. These men. will receive training which will make them com- potent in the trade or profession which they elect to follow.

PRESIDENT A VETERAN
"Sage of Auburn" Has Been con
nected With Game Many
Years.
served Long and Faithfully as secre.
tary OF National Association Of
Professional Baseball Clubs
Has Wide Scope.

John 81. Farrell, the new president
of the International league. is soma
thing of a baseball genius.
The Sage of Auburn is a rea, vet.
eran in the game, for he has been CON.
nected with baseball for MANY raars
and there isn't an angle of the pastime
which is unfamiliar to him.
AS secretary of the National Asset.
alton of Professional Baseball Climbs
Farrell has served long and faitbfullv
Many a time his sage advice has
served as a prop to a tottering minor
league, and with Mike Sexton. the ven.
cradle president of the minor le8gua
body, Farrell has been a godsend to
the minors.
When the club owners of the die.
rupted International league decided to
reorganize their circuit this spring the
first Important thing they set out 10
90 was to lind q man capable of TAX.
ing charge of affairs for them. They
did not look far, but when the berth
was rendered to Farrell it was done so
with a foreboding that he would not
accept. His decision to take over the
affairs of the league as its president
put new life into the war-weary club
owners and the International league
was saved to baseball.
BY merging the International with
the New York State league, of which
Farrell was president tha circuit ,roc
made more compact than ever before
and the best paying cities in both
leagues now make up the new organi-
zation. Farrell now has a wider scope
to display his baseball ability. That
ne will pull the new league through
and eventually put it on a firm basis
is a practical certainty, for Farrell
doesn't know what the word "can't"
means.
No man in the pastime knows more
ball players than Farrell. He has the
name of every ball player in the minor
leagues at his finger tips, and he
knows all about every man jack of
them. AS president of the New York
State league he dug up many promis-
ing players for his club owners. His
league produced such stars as Eddie
Murphy, Wallie Pipp, Grover Cleve-
land Alexander, Frank Schultz, Heinie
Zimmerman, Leon Galore, Jack Ora
ney, John Evers, Fred Coumbe, Leon
Ames, Bill Hinchman and Steve
O'Neill.

CHAPTER xxi.
Punishments and Machine-Gun Stunts

Punishments and Machine-G Gun Stunts.
Soon after my arrival in France; in
fact, from my enlistment, I had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
ful in order to stay ON the narrow path
OF government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
OF breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by a
firing squad, or "up against the wall"
as Tommy calls it.
This is for desertion, cowardice, mu-
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead, forcing
a safeguard, striking a superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment of sixty
four days in the front-line trench With
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-four days you
are indeed lucky.

Babe Ruth, the Red Sox pitcher, is
an ardent golfer, and quite an expert
one, too. Ruth is one of the hardest
hitting pitchers in the big leagues and
be carries his batting punch onto the
links. He was playing at Bellevue,
near Boston, one day and some of the
drives threatened to land in the next
county, but the daddy of them all was
the one he hit off the ninth tee.
1t is seldom that drive carries
the cross trap on this hole. The hole
Itself is something like 26O yards, with
the trap perhaps 80 yards short of it.
Babe not only carried the trap, but
landed on the roof of the clubhouse.
which is at least hole high. If the ball
had been straight, it would have car
ried fully 28O yards.
