YOU ARE WORKING, you are
earning as much money as possible, in
order that you may accomplish two
things: First, pay your way and your
obligations in the world; second,
HELP TO WIN THE WAR. You
can earn more money now than in
peace times-and that is fortunate, for
you must spend more for living ex-
penses and you must invest to the very
limit in the war loans. Nobody can
afford to do less than that. 1t is the
creed of service and duty - it is the
essence of good citizenship and loyalty.
If you are doing non-essential work,
drop it-and find employment in line
that contributes to the war strength
of the nation.

by announcing tonight that the league
intends to punish players who jumped
to shipyards in order to escape active
service in the trenches. He did not
say what form the punishment would
take.
johnson also announced that the
league will name a committee for the
joint session with the National
League. with instructions as to the
Americans desires as to length of
playing season. open dates. player limit
and changes in the makeup of the
National Commission.

AMERICAN LEAGUE MOGULS
MEET ON WESTERN FRONT
Junior Circuit Magnates
Await Frazee Johnson
Scrimmage at Chicago
Today; Look for Olive
Branch"

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Spartacus
group Of the American League. head
ed by Harry H. Frazee and Edward
G. Barrow. arrived on the Western
front this noon and took up position
along the west bank of Lake Michi-
gan. An ominous silence prevailed
over the firing line for several hours
after the revolutionaries established
headquarters. but this was simply the
calm before the storm.
Frazee is entirely familiar with the
territory over which he will vancouver
this week He is. so to speak, in
digenous to the soil. having lived sew
eral years in the Windy City. %By
reaching the battlefield thirty hours
before going into action Frazee is
able to plant his batteries and bring
up his ammunition. He had no sooner
established division headquarters at
the Blackstone Hotel than he began
laying down a barrage among other
club owners who are here for the
meeting.
Col. Jacob Rupert. of the Yankees.
was another arrival here today. Col.
Rupert left on an earlier train than
Frazee. He probably will not partici-
pate in any hOstilities that may in
volve Johnson and Frazee. The
Colonel is a neutral in this quarrel.
! He says he has troubles enough of
his own. Ostensiblv he is a Johnson
man. although he is not entirely sat
isfied with the way the leagues af-
/ fairs were conducted last summer
Clark Griffith and Charley Comis-
key were with Frazee in this dec
/ laratiOn of independence. but later
on they talked themselves out and
left Frazee holding the bag. The
/ Boston magnate stuck to his guns
and has since pursued a policy OF
independence.
The strike Of the Red Sox and
Cubs in Boston last fall is expected
, to he fully covered in Johnson's re-
port. 1t is believed that he will not
/ minCe words on this subject nor on
the Cleveland matter and that
I Frazee will not allow Bans state
ment to go unchaIlenged.
Griffith and Comiskey are not pleas
| ed over the prospect of being dragged
| into a serious controversy with John
| son. F'razee has all the proof he
! needs that Grff and Commy were
I as bitter in their criticism of johnson
U
! the special meeting held in Cleveland
| Comiskey denounced JohnsOn's plan TO
/ end the league race on August 20.
! Griffith also objected as the Washing
| ton team at that time had a chance
/ to win the pennant
In conversation with three news
! paper men. Griffith and Comiskey were
! as loud in their denunciatiOn of John
| son as Frazee, and while they signed
no statement, they approved the ac-
| tion of the Boston magnate i'm pub
| fishing a declaration that the club
I owners intended to conduct their
/ business affairs to suit themselves.
/ Some of these witnesses will attend
! the meeting. and if the quarrel mar
: rows down to a question of veracity.
/ Frazee is prepared to produce his
! witnesses. 1t is barely possible. but
. not probable. that the peace element
| i'm the league will avert a scandal by
I persuadinE johnson to offer the olive
| branch to Frazee. The latter. how
| ever. is not looking for an out.
! He is ready to go.
