Hungarian Statesman
Approves Wilson's
View OF Peace Terms

Berne, Jan. 1S.-Count Karolyi. the
Hungarian statesman who has lust
visited Switzerland. approved in gen
eral of President Wilson'S view of
peace terms. in a score or more
speeches and statements which he
made while here. In Count karolyi's
opinion. the necessary conditions for
a lasting peace are remuneration of all
annexationist aims and the complete
characterization of all the belligerent
powers. Speaking particularly of
Hungary, he said:
1.-The ley scheme for electoral re-
form in Hungary. while it does not
mean equal universal and secret vot-
ling, yet brings with it a BILE
extension Of the right to vote, and is
therefore. to be regarded as a step in
the way towards that characterization
which is necessary if a lasting peace is
to be secured. and the first result of
which will be a complete reform Of
parliament to the end that the gov
eminent will be dependent on the
mass of the people, and not merely on
the middle classes.
"As for the problem Of nationalities
in Hungary, 1t will solve itself. auto
matically when the whole system of
government has been d~emocratized.
The mittel-E Europa scheme will in
evitably result In the perpetuation of
war, and is to be condemned on that
account. Freedom in commercial re-
lations Is a necessary attribute to q
lasting peace. and Hungary must have
a free hand in all economic questions
and not be bound to Germany by any
long standing agreement"

Baseball Magnates, It's
Time To Wake Up; Game
Rests On Your Patriotism

Perhaps no more patriotic move
could have been made in baseball
than that of the Cincinnati club in
changing its training quarters from
Shreveport, La. to Montgomery. Ala.
to be in a position to play exhibition
games with and furnish amusement
for the soldiers in camp at Camp
Sheridan.
y majority Of the troops in camp
at Montgomery are from Ohio ana
many of them come from Cincinnati
In making the change Garry Herr

he might have had at Shreveport for
the pure patriotic rcason of furnish
ing sport and entertainment for the
soldiers.
The Reds have trained in Shreve-
port for many years. and ave found
it n Of the most ideal camps in the
south. The players nave made friends
there, hotel accommodations are ex-
! c%ellent, a good ball park and club
house is at their disposal and the
weather in March is usually delight
full. The latter cannot usually be said
about the Alabama capital.
Hermann waived all these consid-
crations for the patriotic reason men,
toned before.
Other clubs might have added
greatly to their popularity by select
ing sites in the south where they
would have been in proximity to
camps occupied by troops enlisted in
their cities, and there is no reason to
believe they would ever have cause
to regret it.
Baseball is facing a supreme test

After England had been at war for

most of them were forced to enlist.

of London, the oldest institution OF

American boxers that unless they

themselves slackers, has dealt the
game a blow already from which it

There is nationwide alarm about
seed corn. The condition is the most
critical experienced in twenty years.
The corn belt has suffered tremendous
losses. Frost in September killed the
corn and prevented it from %ripening
and drying out. When the unusually
cold freeze of october came great
damage followed.
AS a result. the first impulse will
be to import seed corn. Corn grown
from seed brought in from other To-
calities will be inferior in yield and
quality. and in many cases. total fail

we have exhausted every to

Rather than go without seed, import
it, but get it from just as near home
as possible. Thousands of tests made

3 Sport NeWs in General 81
Best Winter Sport Found
In Fishing Through Ice

is to use a "trip of the belly Of =
fresh fish for bait.
IF business" is bad in the fsf.ins;
line you can make tipups do your
work for you. These are made Of
sticks stuck up in the ice with a ball
anced stick across the top with a flag
or piece of cloth on the heavy end
and when the fish hooks himself on
the business end the flag is pulled
up and you know something is ''on."
In some localities ice fishing Is
barred by law. but where it is no.
the folks not only have lots of fun
but get a good supply of big fish H.
the otherwise off season.
Ackerman's Answers.
J. E. wants to know if beaver are
caught in the winter time in traps or
are bagged by gun or rifle. Beaver
are secured through the ice at his
time of the year after their houses
have been destroyed. They hide along
the banks, are located with the aid
of dogs and are easily taken through
n hole in the ice and killed with an
axe.
