BALL GAMES GO ON
SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER
RULES ON BASEBALL.
Leagues Are Given Much Time in
Which to Wind Up Their
Affairs.

Washington, July 29.-Secretary Of
War Baker decided that the work or
fight decision shall not apply to base
ball players until September /.
The ruling of Secretary Baker
means that professional baseball play
ers within draft age will have until
September 1 to- take up essential oc-
equations or enter the army. The base
ball managers asked that the date be
fixed at October Is, but the ruling cuts
off five weeks of the major leagues
season.
Major leagues requested permission
to finish the season and play worlds
series, but Bakers contention was that
the owners could adjust themselves to
a war basis before that time.
In his decision Baker pays baseball
a tribute by saying, Il think it would
be an unfortunate thing to have SO
wholesome recreation destroyed, IT it
can be continued by the use of persons
not available for essential war serv-

The order stopping baseball is aimed
at FANS who, without their custom
airy afternoon amusement, are expected
to turn to some productive occupation.
Members of the national commission
express satisfaction with the edict and
say a worlds series will be played
either before September or immedl-
ately thereafter. Present playing

Great Growth of Army and Navy
Shown by Policies Taken
Out.
5000, 900 MEN ON BOOKS
Feature of Statement Intended to
. Quiet Fears of Beneficiaries Is
That Certificates Not Necessary
to Make Policy Effective.

Washington, July 30.-Some idea OF

ance, upwards of $1,000,00O0OO has

be close to S4.00O,000,000.
The maximum policy under the law
is for $4,000. The average amount OF
insurance applied for per man has
steadily increased during the last four
months, and is now about $500.
The bureau of war risk insurance
it is stated now has more Insurance
in force by $3,O0O,O0O,OO0 than the or
binary life insurance companies OF the
United States combined.
One feature of the statement intend
ed to quiet the fears of benefciaries

Persons who have been named as
benefciaries under the war risk in
surance but have not yet received
their insurance certificates are remind
ed that these certificates are not es-
sential to make the insurance protec-
ton effective.
'The certificate is merely evidence

mo apprehension should be felt by
persons who have not yet received
their certificates. They are being sent

sions of Peace and False
Propaganda"

Washington, July 27.-PoSsib1l1tles
of a peace offensive were discussed in
the senate at the semi-Weekly session.
All senators who spoke declared the

propaganda" from Germany.
I'VE are not allured by it or de-
ceived by it." said he, declaring that
Germaay's intent, was to cause de-
mand in this country and among the
allies for peace and enable Germany
to secure a firmer grasp upon Russia
and the Eas1 for preparation OF huge
army to strike America later.
The German peace offer. Senator
Lewis suggested, ought to have been
Indignantly repudiated by Emperor
William, because it conflicts with ms
boastings.
Senator Sherman of Illinois (Rep)
declared peace could come only by a
victory that would sweep the kaiser
and his counsellors out of power.
Senator Lewis declared America had
no intention liz the plan for joint allied
operations in Russia except to block
Germanys plans to Prussianize the far
East.
That another peace offer from Ger

Troubles Varied.

Washington, July 3O.-The kaiser's
troubles are not confined to the Sois-
sons-Reims sector as shown by reports
of food crops in Germany reaching
American officials.
In the south and west of Germany
favorable conditions prevail. In mid
die Germany, however, and especially
in Mechlenburg and Pomerania, the
dry weather has damaged or de-
stroyed the vegetable crops and i'm
portations of foodstuffs from other
parts of the empire already have been
found necessary.
To complicate the situation in the
drought-ridden areas plaques of in
sects have attacked and all but de-
stroyed the potato crop. The cab
bage crop similarly has suffered heav-
ily.

more convenient to have the servants
rooms placed Immediately above the
kitchen of the house conveniently ap-
preached by a hack stairway.
The careful housewife alwaye fur
pishes her servants rooms with espe-
cial care. If there are several she
takes pains to have them all furnished
in about the same way, so as not to
cause jealousy. That *. there will be
no special advantage in one room over
another. Variation will be given thru
different chintz or cretonnes. Need
less to say, every effort is taken to
secure cleanline IS. Nice white painted
iron beds are usually chosen and the
floor is hard wood, with a pretty light
cottage rug laid on it. Care should
be taken to provide a good bureau and
good mirror. The time has gone
when we provided our servants only
with a discarded chest of drawers with
a broken mirror. If we use old furni-
ture we should have it all in the best
of repair, freshly painted and perfectly
intact.

or for beds, the tenseness of the situa-
ton is at once apparent One is in
formed that there may never be an
other importation of linen during the
life of this generation and that the
small collections left in this country
must be sold at an immense price.
Yet. linen clothes for women are
still to be had at a reasonable price.
so if a woman likes linen and realizes
that. it is the coolest fabric that can
be put next to the skin. it is wise for
her to indulge that fancy at the pres
ent hour.
Green as a Cucumber.
The designers went back to China
no objection to the color on the part
of the world of civilized women. to
judge by the way they have accepted
it in every form of apparel.
In artistic circles it is called jade
green and Chinese green, but over
here we commonly speak of it as APP
pie green. 1t has a luscious tint. and
the scientists will persuade you that
1t relieves the eye from strain more
than any other color that can be worn
in hot weather. The woman who
| thinks it is unbecoming, can easily re-
| lieve her anxiety by putting white at
| the shoulders
Therefore, the color of a cucumber
and the cool threads of linen that has
| lain on the river banks for months,
are made into Jacket suits for the
Am erican woman who must stand the
| heat of this continent thru July and
| August.
| The jacket which Is promoted for
these new suits is quite different from
| its predecessor. 1t does not cling to

us all wear about six years ago.

| Jacket curves out at the hips. The
| sleeves of this coat are loose, or as
| loose as those worn by a mandarin,

| worn by a golfer on Scottish links,
| which shows that both women and de-
| signers are never consistent when ii
| comes to clothes. This waistcoat is
of knitted green and white wool. and
| it spreads outward into an immense
| cape collar. One may substitute for IL
a waistcoat of white pique, which
| would not only be more becoming, but
infinitely more comfortable.
I The Coat That Flares.
There are many women who like a
relief from the straight jacket with
its slim, boyish lines and it's tendency
to flatten the figure; therefore, this
outward flaring jacket. which, the de.
signers say, has a significant note, is
eagerly grasped at for new summer

disused pantry or hall in the kitchen

time when servants rooms IRE one of
the important considerations in the
planning of the well equipped house.
No doubt, If servants were still con-
tent to be slowed away anywhere, and
if they could be induced to remain
with us when we showed no consider
alton for their housing, many of us
would still neglect the question of SER
wants quarters. But luckily for the
servants they no longer have to put
I'D with such injustice. Factory wages
beckon them with tempting fingers
and we have to provide them with
sitting rooms, shower baths and pleas
ant porches in order to keep them at
all.
In country houses more and more
there is a tendency now to give the
servants quarters in a small cottage
somewhere not far from the house.
But a very different place this is from
the outside quarters that used to be
given servants generation ago. Such
