ANOTHER WAR
 IS IMMINENT

PEORIA, H., Nov. 15.-Another war between the major and minor baseball leagues is imminent as the result of protest registered with the National association by the minors against the right of the majors to draft stars from the ranks of the minors to recruit their teams.
 The practice has been for some time for the majors to take the star players of the minors to strengthen the weak spots in their teams without giving them fair returns. This is ob. jected to as being unfair and an in. jury to the game.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 5. 1918.
WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIALS?

It is we'll that one should take pride in his occupa-
ton. II he does not, there is likely to be something the
matter with the occupation or the individual. And when
one does take proper pride in his occupation he is likely
to regard that occupation as of vast Importance to the
community. We see illustrations of this just now in
connection with the work of the war. We read of one
occupation which is of supreme Importance, and may
conclude that the fate Of the war hangs entirely on the
development Of that particular line Of effort. Then we
learn Of some other line of work which is also superla-
tive. and then of still another. and so on.
The man who handles steel may feel that his occu-
patton is the most important of all, for. no matter what
activity there is. its success rests largely in steel. Steel
enters into all munition work. 1t is the basis of all our
agricultural Implements 1t is essential in transportation
by land and by sea. and no matter what line of manu-
facture we consider, we find that it cannot operate
without the machinery which is the product of the great
steel mills.
Agriculture is admittedly an important industry.
Through it the food of the world is produced, and with
out food the world would speedily be incapable Of util-
ling the products of other industries. But where would
the farmer be without machinery with which to plant
and harvest his grain, without clothing for himself and
his family; without lumber for shelter, without railroads
with which to send his crops to market and over which
to receive his supplies? Chemistry is one Of the essen
tial industries. In the work OF research, to discover the
properties of matter, and in the line of applied science,
TO Utilize the information which exists, chemistry is per-
forming wonders in the military campaigns and in the
arts and sciences. Yet the chemist must be fed and
clothed, and his materials must be dug out of the ground
or extracted from the air, and transportation must be
used to do the carrying back and forth. ".. =
The engineer has his highly important place, both
on the field Of battle and in the arts of peace. But with
out the steel manufacturer, and the farmer, and the
chemist, and the railroad man, the engineer would be
helpless. -,
So it goes. As we pursue the subject we find that it
leads US in a circle of interdependence. Each of us, no
matter how able and industrious, and no matter how
important his calling, is dependent on all his fellows for
the success of his own efforts. There is no such thing
as independence among individuals. We are all depend
ent on each other, and we are learning in the field of
human life at large that nations are dependent on each
other, just as individuals are.

AMERICANS SEE
THROUGH HUNS
VICTORY PLAN
Germans are Working I'm.
derground Propaganda to
Gain Success.

Geneva. May 27.-(Correspondence
Of The Associated Press.)-Repre-
sentatives of the Entente nations here
have been cheered by evidence that
American statesmen apparently see
clearly that Germany's victories have
not been primarily military; but have
been largely due to an underground
propaganda, preparing the way for
military advance and making it rela-
lively easy.
They point out that each German
military offensive has been accom-
panied by a peace offensive prepared
with the same scientific precision and
care as the movement on the fighting
front. When the present offensive in
France was we'll begun, Switzerland
suddenly swarmed with peace ennis
saries of the German government.
seeking channels for negotiated peace,
plotting ways to undermine the faith
and loyalty of the Allies and especial
~ the moral and military preparation
Of America.
In Switzerland some Of this peace
offensive has been borne by Professor
George D. Heron. Notwithstanding
Professor Herron's repeated insist
ance that he had nj mandate to rep
resent any government or anybody,
the German foreign Office could not
believe It.
The Associated Press correspondent
is informed that DR.. De Jong van
Beck en- Donk. a Dutch pacifst, has
made repeated efforts here to forward
a message to Colonel E. M. House,
President Wilson'S friend and ,reputed
advisor. The Dutch pacifst either
represented or pretended to represent
DR.. Solf, the German colonial minis
ter, who met Colonel House in Ger
many before America entered the
a Professor Heron declined to
transmit the message.
When the last peace offensive be-
gan, MI. Heron notified friends in all
the Allied countries and then the
Swiss press, and in a conference in
Geneva, exposed the whole German
campaign.
And now Germany, not content
with being at war with America, is
making var upon the American. Mr..
Heron is violently assailed in the
German press. and in the neutral
press under German control. It is as
serted that Switzerland is the theater
OF a vast American conspiracy against
Germany, and that the threads Of this
conspiracy are in Professor Herron's
hands.
Meanwhile Professor Heron con-
tinues to fight the German propa-
