Nick Altrock pulled real piece of
comedy the other day when he went in
and hurled game of ball for the
Washington club. Nick came back
and won his battle after layof of
eight years. Fans who watched him
pitch are amused over the incident
and are laughing yet. Nick has made
thousands laugh by his antics on the
coaching lines, but they never imag-
ined be could pull anything so serious
as that. It was so serious in fact, for
Altrock, that it was tinged with htmor.
1t all happened because Griffith didn't
have anyone to send in. Let me
pitch" said Nick. Griff hesitated a
bit, then grabbed glove and tossed
it to Nick. You're on" said the Wash
ington manager, and Nick went in.
The crowd, understanding the situa-
ton, pulled hard for this veteran to
come through and he did.

Dem Leader" to
Urge Economy

Washington, Nov. 8.-Senator Mar
tin Of Virginia. Democratic leader
in the senate, said congress will call
on the executive departments Of the
government to curtail war expenses
Immediately upon the signing of ar
mistice by Germany. He also said
the war department will be asked to
stop calling men into the military
service as soon as the war ends.
Senator Martin declared that ap-
preparations for war purposes in the
last two years have aggregated
$57, 900, 100000 and that he is deeply
concerned over the effect the expen-
ditures are having upon the coun-
try Leaders of both parties share
his views, he said. and added that he
soon would have something to say in
the senate on the necessity for cur
failing government expenses after
the armistice Is signed.
Extravaganza in war expenditures
Is admitted by Democratic leaders,
the senator asserted. but it has been
justified on the ground that 1t has
been necessary to guard against
having troops in the field made
quately equipped with ammunition,
food and clothing.
The Democratic leader declared
his opposition to universal military
training showing it would lead to
continued heavy expenses for can
comments and other war necessities
in peace times.

Importance was the surprise and sue
cess OF the attack along the Piave

Complete plans have been found
here for the occupation by the AUS

was frustrated last June. Plans were
also found Of every warehouse, fac
tory and storehouse in Italy It was
no secret that the invaders expected
to take Italian territory as far south
as Milan as soon as the order for an
other offensive was received.
Influenced by President Wilson.
One of the big factors in the dis
indignation OF the empires political
fabric was the diplomatic writings Of
President Wilson before the entry of
the United States into the war. These
were widely circulated and dozens Of
people have told the correspondent
that Mr.. Wilson's notes and speeches
gave them an understanding OF what
q. real democracy was like, and en-
couraged their hopes for liberty.
Look to Him for Guidance.
It is certain that President Wilson
at present is a most popular figure in
the empire. All continue to look to
hin, for help, in solving their political
problems sanely and justly so that
there shall be no more war.
After Americas entry into the war
documents containing President Will
sons utterances were circulated Sc
cretIv and were hidden under hearth
stones by the readers. Italians, SWISS
and English newspapers containing
his writings and speeches were pass
ed from hand to hand, reaching thou
sands.
Lifted Censorship.
IT is also apparent the internal Gen.
sorship became less rigorous as the
war progressed. for it became more
difficult TO control personal politics.
For instance, the correspondence BUR
eau frequently, during the last Few
months, has disseminated information
concerning the acts and opinions or
President Wilson bearing on the war.
The Last Rigors.
The revolutionary movement here
was preceded by the internment OF
Triest's notable pro-ally and pro-Ital-
ian citizens. It is said that If man
even struck match on the street at
night he was liable to be arrested and
informed, his family not being inform
ed by the authorities.
Austrians Hate Germany.
From many sources it is apparent
the Austrian people. above all others
in the former empire. entertain sim
cere desire for peace. They hate
Germany, as they recognize in her the
cause of all their troubles.

The committees conclusion, DR..

that there is no prospective shortage
OF cotton and the belief that the cot

coure a proportionate marketing of

grades OF cotton more effectively by
other methods. Continuance Of the
work of this committee is recon-
mended.
Dr. Pages statement was said to

report which the committee will pre-

there would be no way OF enforcing
