San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Formal ad-
mission of Sacramento to the league
and adoption of playing schedule
were the only bits of important busi-
ness before the Pacific Coast league
magnates when they gathered here
this afternoon. The report of Jack
Cook of Salt Lake, who was directed
to prepare schedule, will be adopted
before night.
The club owners also considered the
spring training problem. Hen Berry

it is believed other clubs may pursue
a similar home training policy.

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In short time
usually every trace of eczema. letter
pimples, rash, blackheads and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making il
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not q
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles of all kinds.

lis 91st footballers left here last night
for home. They call it that now and
they re gloomy because they are not
bringing home the bacon. But as Will
lie Ritchie, fcrmer lightweight cham
pion, and the 91st's strongest booster
at the game remarked, somebody had
to lose. However, the boys all would
like another crack at the marines. Not
as an alibi, they say, but as fact,
the heat played havoc with their
"pep'' and they figured for more
speed in cooler weather. All the Grip
pies got away with the team. The team

WHAT GERMANY WANTS
By Carl D. Groat

(Unlteu HreSS SUaII cOffcSpOHueuIy
Washington, Jan 3,-Entcnte and
neutral diplomats here believe Ger
many is paving the way fcr real defi-
mite peace proposals in the next two
months--so Euch more liberal than
any to date that they must be serious
ly considered by the allies.
At present the German propaganda
is designed to create peace "atn1os-
phere, they say, so that when the
real offer comes the world may be in
a more receptive mood than before.
But the diplomats join with American
leaders now in saying emphatically
that from all indications the offer will
mot be broad enough to meet the
prime requisite elimination Iof Ger
many S kaiser-controll militarism.
A canvass of leading entente and
neutral statesmen reveals a feeling
that Germany is willing to make unbe-
hevable sacrifices lhther than face
another year OF war. Internal condl-
tions plague her and time is no longer
her ally. Despite a still tremendous Of
fensive power, Germany is going down
hill and the longer the struggle con-
tinues, Just so much more certain Is
her defeat.
With Russia apparently swaying
away from the separate peace, Ger
many s peace plans threaten to go
askew and it is possible the Russian
iproblem will react to her distinct dis
advantage
Germany realizes, as never be
fore. that She is beaten,' a high en-
tente diplomat said today. Given the

an illusion. Teutonic arms have not
attained single significant victory
in the past year. Russia s elimination
cannot be credited to German arms
and the Italian offensive has proved
an empty victory.
With such a year back of them
land overwhelming odds before them
the Central Powers can lock forward
to the coming year with nothing but
apprehension. They cannot win and
the longer the fight is waged the
greater will be the price the loser
must pay"
The greatest danger the allies face,
according to statesmen, is that, with
an unconditional surrender" by
Germany within their grasp, determi-
Ilnatidn ito eliminate HOhenzOllernism
may waver.
Russia 8 reported rejection Of The
German peace terms at the Brest Ii
tovsk conference aroused suspicion in
entente circles and led this govern
ment to pursue policy of absolute
silence Will waiting definite and Of
ficial news 1t has served to temporar-
lily hold up any official expression
here in the planned counter prOpaagan-
da drive against the German proposals
Russian embassy officials and en-
tente leaders scent a possible trick,
knowing Lenine at least to be a Ger
man agent. Secretary Lansing refuses
to confirm or deny possession of proof
of Lenine's duplicity. In the circum-
stances, all feel that the best policy
to pursue is to await the outcome Of
German-Russian negotiations.
Russian officials secuted reports
that the Lenine-TTotsky regime might
resume fighting against Germany and
were amused at reports that the Rus
sian Red Guards would be sent against
the Germans. These troops, Russian Of
ficials here pointed out, are the ones
who broke and ran away just before
Russia Is great collapse.
