BabeRuth S Bat
Beats Dodgers
AtHot

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March ID
Babe Ruth's big bat was once more the
chief instrument used by the Boston
Red SoX in defeating the BROOKLYN
Dodgers here to-day in the second of
the series of exhibition games by a
score of Z to 1. The big left-handed
slugger made but one hit in the game,
but it was terrific home run drive
with the bases filled, and crushed the
Brooklyn hopes. The homer came in
the third inning off the delivery of All
Mamaux
Brooklyn was so far handicapped by
the total of runs that the team never
again became dangerous. The Dodgers.
in spite Of their defeat, played a much
better game than they did the previous
Sunday. Manager Robinson had all of
his regulars except Ward. The Brook
lyns made eight hits. but could not hit
when they had chances to drive in runs
Jimmie Hickman, who was counted on
for some heavy hitting, famed three
times in row.
hS 1SuecuIlIIS lcdtuTe WAS Ine pitch
ing of Rube Marquard, who worked for
three innings after Mamaux had got his
bumps. Marquard was in excellent
form. considering that it was his first
serious attempt to pitch. He cut loose.
and though he allowed four hits no runs
were made off him. In the fourth inn
ing he pitched himself out of bad sit
uation after Mays had tripled. Perhaps
the. feature of his pitching was the
striking out of Babe Ruth with three
pitched balls in the fifth inning.
Poor Show by Mamaux
Mamaux, former star of the Pitts
burgh Pirates, did not show up we'll in
the game. He claimed to have a sore
arm. He tried his speed several times
only to abandon it entirely. He was the
victim of the big Boston inning. Jack
Coombs finished the game and should
not have been scored on. A big passed
ball let in the final run.
The Boston pitchers were on edge for
the game. Carl Mays pitched six inn
worked the last three after playing
right field earlier in the game. In the
third inning Mays singled after one was
out and Hooper doubled. Myers
dropped an easy fly from Scott and
Mays scored. Mamaux then walked
both Strunk and Hoblitzel. retiring
Mc1nnis in the mean time. Then along
came Ruth with his home run drive.
/ The Dodgers made their one run in
the sixth inning. Miller singled, but
Marquard forced him. O'Mara doubled,
but the Rube pulled up at third. Oau-
| bert trickled a roller down to Scott,
who made bad throw to first, and Mar
guard scored.
The score.

Uncle Sam Took
$4,000 Players
From Cleveland

March 24.-James C. Dunn, pres
ident of the Cleveland American
League club. evidently is finding
running big league club an ex-
pensive luxury these days. Play
ers valued at $4,000 have been
taken into the service of Uncle
Sam.
Louis Guisto cost Dunn $4,000.
For Elmer Smith he paid $4,000
to Washington last year. only to
lose him few months later. AL
though Ed kIepfer came to Cleve-
land in the trade for Joe Jackson.
IT is not thought $4,000 would have
bought him; in fact, Dunn could
not get as good pitcher for that
sum.
Joe Harris cost Dunn only ST.
500. but he would have brought
$1,000 or more if sold. Catcher
Herman De Berry cost $4,000. The
navy got him. Jess Petty repre-
sents an outlay of $1,000: Clark
Dlckerson would have cost the
same amount had he not been
called to the coIors before final
payments were made on him: as
1t was. Dunn paid only Sl00 down.
And the war is not over.

AND HIGHLY
 RESPECTED CITIZEN
-W. S. s

The news of the death of Cardinal John M. Farley has been received with profound sorrow and regret thru out the entire world. This notable and reverend churchman was "self- made man. His personal demeanor and attitude toward human nature earned for him the highest regard of the world. His ability, intergrity and intelligence is seldom surpassed. Starting at the extreme bottom of the ladder, he gained the topmost round.
 Cardinal McCloskey, his lefelong friend, was mainly responsible for the ultimate success of this great church man and citizen. To Cardinal Mo- Closkey was given credit by the late Cardinal Farley for his rapid rise and success in the world. Born an orphan alone and without friends. John Far ley was "given a chance" by Cardinal McCloskey. He fully met the highest hopes and ambitions of his friend. The world would indeed be better with more men like the late Cardinal Farley, and his demise is source of regret thruought the entire world.

Patriots Are Awake to the Fact That War Must Be Financed and won
 Through Their Aid.

When the gong sounds for the open ing of the Fourth Liberty Loan cam raign that section of Illinois included in the Eighth Federal Reserve Dis trict will be ready for sprint that will take it through the race and carry it lover the top" in jig time, no mat ter what the quota may be.
 This is the opinion of E. B. Crab tree, state chairman for Illinois, who ran down from his home in Jackson. vile, where he is banker, and spent Tuesday at his desk at Liberty Loan headquarters in the Railway Exchange Building.
 There is nothing to it." declared MT. Crabtree, "but just going out and picking up the money. Many thou sands of dollars are already in the banks applied already to the purchase of the Fourth bonds, and our people are making all of their plans for quick subscriptions.
 There is one woman in Jackson. vile, whose name I do not care to give, who has already placed her order for $20,000 of the bonds. She was ad- vised to go on the market and buy previous issues of Liberty Bonds at a discount, and was shown whereby she could save $1,00O by the transaction.
 "But this patriotic woman said she wanted to do her bit and she said she would prefer taking Fourth bonds at par. Therefore she bought Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness, and has instructed her banker to exchange these for Fourth Liberty Bonds on Sept. 28, Volunteer Day"
 Reports recalling me from other cities in our part of the district as- sure me that all are making ready for the drive, and that our quota will be quickly absorbed. And we are ex- recting the quota to be larger this time than in the previous loans.
 People realize that the sooner the war is over the more lives will be saved, and they are ready to invest their dollars that lives may not be lost because of penury."

 The best answer to German peace sending more men to France, speed ing up our work along every line, and a heavy subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Peace must mean the triumph of right and justice, the de- feat of Germanism, not true with it, not compromise with it.
 Our soldiers in France are glorious ly doing their bit toward victory; the Liberty Loan subscription must show them that the people at home are do- ing theirs.

The Treasury Department has de- termined, after careful consideration, that it will not provide any plan for disposng of the Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds on the installment plan, other than the usual plan of previous loans.
 This information was conveyed to Chairman William R. Compton of the Liberty Loan Organization of the Eighth Federal Reserve District in a telegram from Lewis B. Franklin, Di- rector of War Loans
 The plan, as heretofore, will consist of initial payment and three subse- quent payments about one month apart.
 Director Franklin requests Chair man Compton to advise the local com mittees at once of the decision reached.

--W. 5. S.-- PUNISHMENT FITTED CRIME.

Let the punishment fit the crime," tis adage was carrie dout early Tues day morning in the execution of five negro soldiers at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, for their participation in the rcits which occurred in the city of Houston about one and a half years ago.
 President Wilson refused to com mute their sentences to life imprison- ment after a complete investigation. Their guilt was established beyond all reasonable doubt. Ten others who also p anticipated in the rioting but who were not found to have actually shot down any civilians, were given life sentences. Their sentences of death were commuted by the Presi- dent after careful review of all the circumstances.
 Tho technically guilty of murder, these ten were not actually proven guilty of shooting down in cold blood but merely of being in the heinous affair which produced a reign of terror and disorder at the time.. President Wilson carried out the pol icy of letting the punishment fit the actual crime committed.
 The negroes were practically to blame for the entire riot, excepting a few thugs of Houston, who possibly took advantage of circumstances and jumped at the opportunity of start ing trouble. Innocent civilians were victims of the enraged northern ne- groes who could not acclimate them selves to conditions prevailing in the South. The fact they wore uniforms did not give them any more privileges or rights than any other southern negro.
 l Their wholesale reign of terror and murder has been fully coped with by military and government authori- ties. Punishments meted out fully fit the crimes committed and society has been fully avenged and full retri- button has been made.

NO COvENANTED PEACE
 WITH GERMANY


 America, unless we repudiate civili- za&ion and abandon humanity and put ,a premium on savagry and brutality, can make no covenanted peace, no peace by agreement or negotiation with Germany. It would be a cove nant with hell, partnership with infamy.
 Nor would such g peace secure peace, except so long as it suited Ger many. We can judge the future only by the past, and to Germany sacred treaties are scraps of paper only. Germany's whole history is a record of national treachery, national bad faith, national dishonor, national mur- der and national infamy.
 Article 56 of The Hague Conven- tion, to which Germany solemnly sub scribed, is: "Family honor and rights, the lives of persons and private prop erty, as we'll as religious convictions and practice must be respected"
 The world knows how Germany has observed this article. There are mil lions of individual witness to her s fragrant breaches of it. Every acre of foreign soil Germany has occupied bears mute but unimpeachable evi- dence of it. There is plenty of Ger man evidence of it, too.
 The goods of different sorts seized in the enemies territories are in such large quantities that the difficulty of knowing where to put them increases day by day. At the request of the PruSSian minister of war, all cham bers of commerce have been aksed to give all possible information with re- gard to store houses, sheds, etc, which could be used temporarily to ware house the spoil" (From the Frank furter Zeitung, January, 1918.)
 The German papers have been crowded with advertisements of sale of property taken from France and Belgium. Members of the Reichstag have boasted of others have censured the amount of booty brought to Ger. many from the occupied territory, and the destruction has been far greater than the ccnfiscation.
