 On the battle front in France the h%hlln% between the E'rencn and British and the Germans has assumed somewhat violent proportions in at leaS two sectors, with the forces Of Field Marshai Hais and General Pe- tam the aGgressors.
 Probably the heaviest encounter was Ill the Ch&mpaigne region, where, aided by American batteries which gave the French very effective sup port the French have captured and organized German trenches southwest of Butte du Mesnil The German off, clal communication admits the loss of this ground.
 North of Lens, in the famous coal mining region, the British and Ger mans again have met in a sharp en- counter, but no details have yet come thru
 The mention of American artillery being engaged with the French against the Germans in the Champaen region is the first indication that United States forces were in the battle line else where than east St. Miheil, which IS miles distant from the Champagne front. The presumption is that the American artillerists are in training "fts tFf "refci, "nrg1 aft 'f t .4s ing ;heir comrades in their own sec- tor.
 Unofficial dispatches indicate that in German and Austrian official circles. there is considerable dstrust of the Bolsheviki leaders in Russia, and that preparations are in the making for stemmlng a surprise maneuver on the east front. One Bavarian newspaper asserts that the final conference be- tween the Bolsheviki and German and Austrian peace delegates ended in a. violent rupture, which bore all the seed of a future conflict.
 In manifesto to his subjects deal ing with the peace effected with the Ukraine, the Austrian emperor reiter- ates his desires for an early general peace.
 "Tn common with my heart tried peoples" said the emperor T trust that after the first conclusion of peace, which is so gratifying an event for us, general peace soon will be granted suffering humanity

Canadians Make Raid.

London. Feb 14.-Canadian troops have carried out two successful raids, capturing prisoners and inflicting loss es on the enemy, the official state ment from British headquarters in France and Belgium last night said. In an attack this morning northwest of Passchendaele, in the Ypres sector, German troops temporarily occupied two British posts. The British later drove the Germans out in a counter attack.

American Guns Aid French,

Paris, Feb. 14.-American batteries took part in the artillery bombardment in connection with the large French raid in the Champagne yesterday, it was announced officially. Effective assistance was given by the American gunners. (This is the first mention of American batteries on the Champagne front.)
 The statement follows:
 "A German attempt against small French post north of Pargny-Filian (Aisne front) was repulsed. There were lively artillery actions in the. region east of Rheims in the Cham pagne. In the large raid yesterday American batteries gave very effect i've support. French troops organized the positions captured on that day in the region southwest of Butte du Mes nil The number of prisoners taken by the French and actually enumerat- ed exceeds 15O
 "There is nothing to report on the remainder of the front"
 American gunners are trained by the French before going into active ser vice on their own front. The Amer ican batteries referred to in the French official report evidently are some of those undergoing this instruction.
 The official French statement of last night reported large raid on a front of about 1900 meters in the Champagne near Butte du Mesnil, in which the French penetrated as far as the German third line. The Amer ican sector is in Lorraine, some dis tance to the east of this point.

 Baltimore, NJ. D., Feb. 14-That the strike of some 700 carpenters and joiners employed in the Sparrow's Poinr yards of the Bethlehem Steel company, the Baltimore Dry Docks and Shiphuilding company and sev- eral smaller yards will not bring about similar action by the other trades employed in the shipbullding industries here, was the belief of the Atlantic Soast Shipbuilders assocfa- tion, who met tonight to discuss the situation. Only local members of the sNirbuiidiug industry were present and they agreed that there was noth- ing for the shipbuilders to do but await the action of the government.

Washineton, Feb. IA - Chairman Hurley of the shipping board today appealed personally to William l. Hutcheson of Indianapolis, prasiaoni of the brotherhood of carpenters, tc end the strike of ship carpenters in Atlantic coast shiphuilding yards. Ship carpenters are out in yards around New York aEC at Baltimore.
 AIr Hurley rebuked Hutchesor for calling the strike without giving the labor adjustment board an opportunity to investigate and report in the situa- ton. The strike, Mr. Hurley declared in the telegram, is endangering the lives of American soldiers in F'rance awaiting food and munitions from Amerca.
 "Do you think" he asked, ''the fath- CTS and mothers, whose sons are nlak- ing this sacrifice will sit patiently by and permit this paralysis of this life line between us and the western front"

MOST PERFECT BALL
TOSSER IS BROWNIE
Grover LoWdermiIk Has Shown
Splendid Form This Spring.
St. Louis TwirIer Has More Speed on
His "Hook" Than Any other
Pitcher in Baeeball-ShouId
Win 25 Games This Year.

Grover Lowdermilk has shown some
thing this spring. Growers great as
set is a fast curve. He has more
peed on his "hook' than any pitcher
In baseball. "Fireball" Johnson, "Bul-
let Joep Bush and Claude Hendrix
have more speed than Lowdermilll, but
none of them can curve a fast one
over like Grover.
Johnson has a shop" on his fast one.
but it is barely perceptible TO the nak-
ed eye. Johnson, Bush Hendrix and
all the cannon-ball hurlers have as
much "stuff" as Lowdermllk, but they
can't put it in their fast one and con-
troll the ball. Lack of control has al
ways been Lowdormilk's chief handi-
cap. No wonder He pulls the
throttle wide open on curve ball.
Johnson, Hendrix and Bush would
have as much trouble as Lowdermilk
getting the ball over if they put all
steam behind curve. Change of
pace is the secret Of success in pitch
ing. A boxman must hurl his curve
and slow ball over With the same mo-
tion that he goes through finging a
fast one. Otherwise the batters would
guess pretty well what wns coming.
Lowdermilll has had an interesting
career. Roger Bresnahan first intro
duccd Lowdy to the st. Louis base
ball pubic away back in 1911. Bresna-
han had the two Lowdermilk boys
Grover and Louie who is a left-hander.
Growers wildness prevented him from
making good with the Cardinals. Rick
ey gave him trial with the Browns
of 1915.
Hickey found Lowdy hard man to
hanGle and sold him to the Detroit
Tigers. Jennings was hard up for
pitchers in the fall of 1915. His team
WAS in the pennant fight, and "E-Yah'
figured that Lowdermilk and big" Bill
James Of the Browns would clinch the
pennant for Detroit They disappoint-
cd Jennings and Lowdcrmilk was sent
back to the bushes in 1916.
Last year Grover bobbed up with
the Columbus American association
team. Joe Tinker knew how to jolly
the big boy and obtained maximum
efficiency from him. Lowdermilk ac-
tually burned up the A, A. ring.
He was sensation from start to fin
ish of the campaign, winning % and
losing II. Lpwdy walked 13S men
and famed $50. The A. A. hitters
couldn't gauge his curve with field
glass.

OUTFIELD DERS BACK
IN '8OS WERE STARS
Record Number Of Assists Were
Made in the Early Days.
Statistics Show That Old Time Fly
chasers Had Shade on Present
Day Fielders in Throwing Out
Base Runners.

During the season Of 1898 George
Van Haltren of the New York Giants
in a game against the Washington club
was playing center field. Cy Swain,
who was pitching for the Senators,
while at bat happened to make what
looked like a safe drive to center. Nine
times out Of ten it would have gone
safe, but Van made a mad dash and
gathered it in on the second bound and
without stopping threw to first, the
ball beating the slow-fOoted Swain by
a good six feet, and Cy was sprinting
! his best all the time. OF course Van
/ didn't perform this stunt right along.
Statistics show that the outfieders
back in the sos and '90s had a shade
on the present day outfieIders in max
ing assists. The best record in num-
Der of assists made in one season in
the majors in recent years, or since
1900, was stacked up by Harry Niles
when with the ST. Louis Cardinals in
1906 Harry nailed 80 men from the
outtield, getting them at different
bases.
Mike Mitchell, while playing with
The Cincinnati team, equaled the m@k
set by Niles, heading off 30 men by
his power to shoot ball from the
furthest corner of the outfield with
sufficient accuracy and speed to get
his man. Ty Cobb Joe Birmingham,
Iris Speaker Joe Jackson and Milan
of Washington all have made especial
ly good records in this direction and
lead their respective teams in throw
ing out base-runners from the remote
corners of the outer garden. Tn his
day Fielder Jones was a past master
in pegging the ball from the Outfeld
and nipped many runners.
In the National league since 1900
Murray of the Giants has the most
consistent record of all the old league
outfelders in making assists, he lead
ing the league in four different sea-
sons Ellis, who used to be with the
Cards, was good at making long throws
and had an average of % a season.
Titus, Bates, Cravath and Snodgrass
have good marks for accurate throw
ing from the outfield.
But the old boys back in the halcyon
days of the sos made some sstonish-
ing records in throwing out base rum
ners from afar off. Jimmy Fogarty Of
the Phnlies averaged an assist from
the outfeld every third game he play
ed in. Sam Thompson of the old De-
trolts and Phillies was a mighty throw
er In his day.
Jimmy Ryan of the Chicago Nation
ais, left handed though he was, could
shoot a ball from the furthest corner
of the Outfeld with deadly effect. Bill
Lange had wonderful throwing arm
and was feared by all base runners in
the National league.
The great Mike Kelly back in 1885, |
when with Chicago Nationals, made
the greatest record in throwing out
base runners from the outfield. Mike, |
by fair means or foul, pegged out 20
men in 67 games.

IF you had been member of the legislature when
this reduction was requested and it was made plain
to you that the oil industry was being grossly dis
eliminated against would you have voted for the
ducton Of the tax against the oil producers to fig
which in its results still left the oil producers pay
ing somewhat higher tax than that assessed against
other property in the state?
DO you know that the oil producers Of this state
in manly open-handed manner, and without the
sembance OF playing politics, appealed to the last leg
islaure for relief against this discrimination without
RESULT
DO you know that at that legislature many of the
members from tho oil counties and therefore hav-
ing selfish interest in the proposed reduction voted
in favor thereof?
DO you know that the same reasons which induced
these members to favor the reduction we're strongly
and vigorously urged upon the majority, and that not
withstanding the plain evidence of discrimination the
