COACH FAUVER ISSUES CALL
WesIcyan's Baseball Situation Unique,
With No Members of 1917 Varsity
Team Left in College.

Middletown, March 13.-Dr. Edgar
Fauver, professor of physical educa-
ton at Wesleyan, has issued a call for
baseball candidates. The situation this
year presents a condition where there
is not a single last years varsity man
in college to answer the call. Such a
condition is not known to have existed
at Wesleyan before in the history Of
the sport.
Widdoes, a catcher, captain of this
years team, was the last man to leave
college of last seasons varsity men.
He entered aviation last month. Since
there are no men left to elect a cap
tain, the work will be started without
one, and when some Of the players
have been selected for the positions
they will be allowed to elect one of
their own number

Ban johnson Announces That Amer

This Season.

This Season.
Chicago, March 1S.-Military train
ing for baseball players in the Amer
lean League will be dropped this sea-
son, President Johnson said yester-
day. One of the reasons for discon-
tinuing the drilling Is because the
clubs will be unable to get drill SER
geants.
II was told by army liberties
that the daily drills last season stimu-
lated recruiting to a marked degree"
President Johnson said. There is
no need of that now because of the

be changed abiut good deal this
season as the players are called into
the army, and we would not care to-
stage poor exhibition"

My attention has been called to the
arrangements made by The Eiks and

amonstration and entertainment un-
er the designation of 40 Camp. 1t
as apparently been rumored that the
nperial County chapter of the Amer

, onnected with the plan and that gam
ling will take place during the even
.lg. 1t is not known whether it is
the intention of the organizations at
the head of the arrangements to per-
nit gambling, but for the purpose of
avoiding any improper conclusions as
to the interests of the Red Cross it is
stated that the Red Cross does not
tolerate any gambling at any Red
Cross benefit, and if gambling is per-
mitted, the Red Cross cannot and will
not have anything to do with it. 1t is
further stated that the proposed 40
Camp is not a Red Cross benefit, hut
is being conducted entirely by the

Must Act In Russia.

Philadelphia, June 16.-Unless the
United States and the allies adopt a
new policy as regards Russia, a sit
uation may have to be met there
shortly that will overbalance Ameri-
can intervention in the west, according
to a copyrighted dispatch to the Pub
lie Ledger, from Milan, Italy, based
on an article in the Corriere Della
Sierra.
Germany, the dispatch says, is now
creating in Russia, due to the pas
siveness OF the entente, a situation
which is about to prove Sc ;ious. This
does not consist only in the liberia
ton of German prisoners in Russia,
the dispatch says, but Germany is con-
stant1y improving large military
forces in the various eastern states.
The Corriere points out that en-
tente passiveness in Russia not only
adds to the enemy electives, but con-
tributes time in which Germany may
be able to continue to organize until
"actual future resources may crush
u.s."

MORALE OF GERMANS

The vim and rush which character
lied all former German drives is ap-
parently wanting in the present one,
saws the Fredericksburg Free Lance.
Papers, letters and documents found
on German prisoners concluslvely
show that the kaiser's men are weary
and tired Of this horrible war. The
morale Of this army IS at a low ebb
and getting much lower every day.
The fact is the subjects of his high
ness have been deceived and lied to
SO much and so long they are getting
tired of it all. Gradually but surely
they are finding ous that they have
been deceived; the truth is coming to
them. They have been repeatedly told
the end of the war was near. They
have found out that this end so much
desired by them is not so near as they
we're led to believe. They are weary
of being made targets for the bullets
of the allies. Soldiers can't be fooled
all the time even by the kaiser. 1t IS
said any soldier can be readily made
into fighting machine-and only a
machine-but even a machine breaks
m sometimes and the German mill
tary machine is rapidly breaking up.

MAYOR AINSLlE ARR&iGNED

Mayor George Ainslie, OF Richmond,
declines any comment regarding the
attacks upon his position in the cur
rent anti-vice campaign delivered by
several ministers of the capital city
to their respective congregations Sun
day. The mayor will not discuss any
phase Of the matter or the calls made
upon him for his resignation from
office because of what the ministers
termed his inability to enforce the
laws.
Regarding the matter. Rev. j. Sid
ney Peters, prohibition commissioner,
is quoted as saying that it is not the
entire pclice department that is lax
in the performance of It's duty or that
individual policemen are not willing
properly to obey orders for the main
tenance Of law and the community'S
respect, but their dereliction of duty
is directly caused by lack CT assur-
ance from higher officials that thar
actions will be supported.
Mayor Ainslie has appointed an ad-
visory committee composed Of promi-
nent men of Richmond to cooperate
with him in the reinforcement pro-
gram which he announces he intends
to carry out. The executive says he
asked member Of this committee if
he had any suggestion to make. and
he replied that he had not.
Herein lies all the trouble. Those
who talk most Of immoral conditions
generally know nothing when placed
upon the stand.

THE KAISER AND THE CHURCH

The Good Book tells us Satan is
wont to transform himself into an
angel of light. We see the incarnation
of his satanic majesty, William Hob
enzollern, "among the prophets" Of
our day.
The Outlook has pathetic article
on the seizure by Germans of the bells
in Belgian churches, and the bells, in
stead of ringing out Coy to the
World" in future they are to form
parts Of shrieking shells which are TO
lombard Paris.
The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, q copy
of which has been received in Amster-
dam, prints letter from Emperor
William to the German Evangelical
Church on the occasion of the COM
mencement of the fifth century o. the
church.
"The Evangelical Church. says the
letter. has begun every century Of
its history in trying times; but the
victorious faith Of the German re-
formers and the liberty of their God
fearing consciences have weat:,ered
all storms and made the church a
great blessing to the German people
and the fatherland.,
"While the church is entering its
fifth century the world war has led to
a great increase in religious moves, as
well as to the disturbance of family
life and the harmonious development
of the young, and to the shifting of al;
inherited conditions.
'"This places before the church new
unanticipated tasks. 1t is my heart
felt desire, as we'll rs one OF the most
valued traditions of the House of
Hohenzollern, to help equip and
strengthen the church for these tasks
and to pave the way for its ever deep
er anchorage in the German national
life.
II greet the chErc:l with the hope
that, after cur victorious peace it
may prove itself force fron, which
may rise peoples inwardly strong and
purified"
When the ancient Romans viewed q
patent fraud they were wont to eN-
claim: "Can even friends who view
the picture refrain from laughter?'
This query is pertinent today.
