SHAKE-UP IN GERMANY

By ROBERT ]. BENDER.
Washington, D. c., Oct. %.
Germany appears to offic-
|ial Washington to be at
tempting to force an early
submission of the allies arm
istice terms.
The latest note received
tvs morning appears to be
O. 10 particular use or need,
an carries the suggestion
that the allies appear to be
on the initiative in suggest
ing an armistice. 1t was stat
ed authoritatively that Pres
ident Wilson probably will
not reply to the German ack-
nowledgement, as the whole
question of an armistice is
now up to the military COM
manders Of the United
States and allies, subject to
the approval Of the Versail-
les conference, which meets
tomorrow.
Next Word From France.
The next word on the situation must
come from Versailles or Paris.
The German reply reached the
Swiss legation today. 1t is practically
the same as the press version.
Opinion Divided.
Opinion is divided as to its import
ance. Some officials believe it is
another step forward in Germany's ac-
ceptance of Wilson's terms. while
others see in it nothing but camoutiage
and attempt to tlatter the president
and keep up his interest There is
nothing new or important. Just what
is meant by the reference that Presi-
dent Wilson knows how deep rooted
are the constitutional changes under
way in that country. is not fully
understood Some believe that Ger
many has made Il secret supplementary
announcement of the political reforms
there.

Over the Top
With Jack Veiock.

NEW YORK. April l. - When
il comes TO changing uniforms Lee
Magee has most major league play
ers tied 10 a post.
No player of prominence in the
big show has worn a wider assert
ment f uniforms than the little
blond outfelder who was recently
traded 10 the Cincinnati club by the
Browns.
There are several players who
have had versatile experiences.
among them being Johnny Evers,
but including his experience in the
Federal league, Magee has John
ny faded.
Starting out with the St. Louis
Cardinals in 1911. Magee served I'M
der Higgins for four years He then
transferred his affections TO the
Brooklyn Federals and got in on the
fat salaries that the Wards handed
right and left.
When the Feds busted up. Masee
was put on the market as a bait TO
the highest bidder. and the Yank-
ees took him in for a sum said to
have been $1,000. In addition they
handed him fat contract calling for
more than $4,000 per season.
For some reason Magee failed to
make good with New York. Natur-
ally a speedy and clever all-arOund
ball player. his inability to hit was
mystery and he was finally dis
posed f to the Browns in the deal
which brought Armando Marsans
TO the Rupert fold. His recent shift
to the Reds is his fourth since leav-
ing the Cards.
Johnny Evers might have equall-
ed Magee's record for changing seen
cry had he jumped to the Feds. for
Johnny is wearing his fourth big
league uniform this year as a mem
Der Of the Red SOX. Evers has worn
the regalia of the Cubs, Braves and
PhilIies. but this is his first year in
the American league, while Magee
will have seen service with two
American two National and one
Federal league club when the 1918
season ends.
other players who have shifted
about are Hal Chase and Ed Konet-
chy. Chase has been with the Yam
KEGS. White Sox, Bugeds and the
Reds Honey has shifted from the
Cards TO the Pirates. Pittfeds ard
Braves. Armando Marsans, now
with the Yankees, was formerly with
