Lack of Ships Continues

With increased shipbuilding this
year it was hoped that the surplus
stocks of wheat, meat and sugar of
Australia, Argentina, India and Java
might be available to the allies, thus
reducing the call upon the stock of
this country and Canada. No relief
can be expected, however from this
quarter at least for another year.
The need of greatly increased ton
mage TO transport 100000 men per
month and the supplies and NUM-
tions for our now vast army and for
the allies will more than exceed the
gain in shipbuilding and decrease in
Submarine sinkings. The shipping
situation instead of being relieved
will become Increasingly difficult.

crowns again and the fighters who

forced to come out from cover or re-
tire for good.
Jess Willard hasn't given anyone
a chance at his championship crown
since March IS, 1916. He hooked up
that night with Frank Moran in a
ten-round no-decision affair and Mo-
ran would have had to knock him out
to- obtain any sort of a hold on the.
title.
Jess used his newly acquired circus
and later his oil interests as reasons
for his not re-entering the ring. Then
the war came along and Jess used
that to duck his obligation to the
sporting public. He played true to
form by acting like a cheese cham
pion when the Red Cross and other
worthy war organizations attempted
to enlist his services to help raise
funds.
Jack Dempsey looms up as the
main contender for Jess crown. He
does deserve a crack at Willard. His
decisive victories over Fulton, Morris
and others last year earned him a
chance at Jess.
Mike O'Dowd earned the middle
weight title during the year, but has
become too heavy to remain in that
class n it looks as though Mike
Gibbons deserves the crown. He will
be considered as a champ, at least.
Ted Lewis, the welterweight cham
pion, defended his title several times
during the year, although it must be
said that many of the boys he met
were %repeaters, including Jack Brit

Sofia, Bulgaria. Nov. 30.-(Corre-

Bulgarian political leaders profess to
be gratified by the entrance of the
Entente fleet into Constantinople and
express the belief that it. assures an
equitable and reasonable solution of
the interminable question of who shall
control h Straits Of the Dardanelles.
nj problem has been the constant
nightmare of most of the Bulgarian

nople to be a serious menace to their
own national existence.
This fear was one of the causes
which led Bulgaria to taxi sides with
the Central Powers in the war. Later
when Russia abandoned her exclu-
sive claim to Constantinople, Ru-
mania's entry into the war on the
side of the Entente was facilitated.
Political circles in Bulgaria are
profoundly impressed by the giddy
rapidity with which events of far
reaching international Importance now
are transporting. The folly of the pol
Icy pursued by the former King Fer
d1nand and his government in Bull

striking manner to Bulgarians by the

integrity Of Turkey if she would re-
main neutral in the war.
The great mass Of the Turks, as
we'll as, all other nationalities in Tur-

industrial schemes affecting Turkey.

The organization of a society in

SELECTION OF
CAMP IS TROUBLING
CHARLES COMISKEY

Chicago. Dec. 27.-Selection of a
spring training camp for the 1919 sea-
son is one of the problems confront
ing Charles A. Comiskey, owner of
the Chicago club of the American
league.
For several seasons the White Sox
trained at Mineral Wells, Tex. While
this place had been considered salts
factory, indications now are that there
will be a change. President Comis-
key feels that it may be impossible to
decide the question until after the
joint meeting of the major leagues in
New York on January 16.
If the majors finally decide to
adopt a 140-game schedule, the
White Sox will not journey a great
distance from Chicago to do their
training. 1t would not be necessary
for the team to start training before
the first of March and in that event
a point farther north might furnish
acceptable weather. Excelsior
Springs, Mo-. a short distance from
Kansas City; Little Rock, Ark, .Jop-
lin, Mo-, and Wichita, Kan, have been
considered.
Comiskey, however. is opposed to a
140-game schedule and if the two
leagues decide to play 1874 games as
heretofore, the White Sox probably
will again train in Texas.

Save Money For Farmers.

We are assured on hi igh authority
that if birds were as numerous today
as they were 60 years ago it would
mean saving of many million dol
lars to American farmers. The
slaughter of migratory birds is sure
ly followed by the increase of de-
structive insects. Among the farm
ers bird friends are the woodpeck-
ers, especially the red-headed men,
bers of the species.
In proof there Is cited the follow
ing instance: A pair of them nested
In dead cottonwood tree near an
orchard. One day the observer
watched them through a pair of
glasses. The young birds were
about half grown. The parents
made o6 trips in one hour, each time
with worm. It is safe to say that
they saved &c apples in that hour
a box worth, say 81. If the birds
worked ten hours a day, they were
worth $40 to the owner of that or
chard, or, in the three weeks the
birds were in the nest S21o. 1t is
plain, then, that no farmer can af
ford to kill woodpecker.
