j. Rufus Jones has been reelected
manager of the Clarendon, Va. base
ball team, which will this year be
known as the Clarendon Athletic
Club, and he will have as his as
sistant. L. Ralph Ball, who has taken
an active interest in athletics in the
Virginia suburban town for some
years.
Manager Jones has made no de-
cision as to his line up for this year
although he will have available
practically the same team with which
he finished last season. The indica-
tions are that some of the newcomers
will make several of his regulars
hustle to hold their positions. He
has issued a call for all candidates
for the team to be on hand at the
Clarendon field for a workout Sun
day at 2:3O p. m, and is also anxious
to arrange a practice game with some
local team for April preparatory to
opening the regular season on the Nth.

The recent charge Of President
Lee Of the Brotherhood Of Rail
way Trainmen, that freight con-
Restion is due to the Indifference
OF the railway officers is highly
discreditablc. unless he is able
TO show the facts and proof. We
think that Mr.. Lee should be COM
PEELED 10 go into detail, or to
make retraction Of charge that
IS virtually an accusation Of dis
loyalty to the government. We
do not believe that slackers are
TO be found in places of such re-
sponsibility and importance. Even
though the railway heads desired
to show the country an obvious
lesson of government ownership
we do not think that they would
descend 50 low in the scale of III
fanny as Ia sacrifice the country
III war time. They would he do
ing exactly what the Germans
most wanted. II the Germans CA
keep us from being anything cN-
cept o negligible factor in the wal
for the next six months. she may
win. The railways. by choking
the lines with much needed sup
plies would be playing that game
for the kaiser to the limit. We
do not think they are guilty o.
that sort of treason.

kinds Of pressure they could bring to
bear If they wished and were able.
But these other methods Of enforc-
ing the limitation of armameblts would
all be handled outside the annual con-
ference. Each nation is free 10 squeeze
or fight, to DO it alone or m alliance
with others. Just one thing the an
nual conference can do as "a warning
to the nation that withdrawts or is cx-
PEELED. 1t can raise the links on arm
aments for the other nations, If they
feel that the squeeze is not enough and
they must get ready to fight. But the,
will have plenty Of time to do either.
There are not many details to work
out in advance for this particular par
lament. The only essential thing Is tc
fix certain date when the conference
shall meet each year and to designate
the nations each year that shan NEE,

We commend most heartily the
prOmptness with which Secretary
Baker withdrew a contract for
airplanes, when he found that his
brother was interested in the
company of manufacturers. That
was the right and proper thing to
do, even though the secretary was
assured that the interests of the
government would in no wise suf-
fer. Nor need it necessarily be
presumed that his brother sought
an unfair advantage. The Span
ish war is not SO far back that we
do not recall the scandal follow
ing the purchase Of large num-
Der Of coast steamships by Abner
Mckinley, the presidents brother.
1t was done by coarse, open
methods, rather common to those
days. Brother Abner made for
tune during his brothers presi-
dency and the country was not so
shocked rs it should have been,
or would be today. Whatever
may be said of the unfortunate
delay in our war preparations at
an hour when speed was neces-
sary, the administration has been
free from charges of graft, en-
balmed beef and crooked dealings
with contractors. We have not
seen evidence of this, despite the
