AND JOKES
HEARD IN HOSPITALS

With the American Army in France
(by mail)-The laugh and the Joke and
the prank are not absent from the
American military hospitals. There Is
suffering. of course. in these great,
splendidly equipped institutions, but
ever the shrapnel loaded American
citizen soldier has his fun. One sur
geon tells this story:
When the lines Of stretcher cases
were being brought into his hospital
the surgeons stood in the reception
ward making quick examinations. One
stretcher was brought silently in, the
form Of q soldier lying rigid under
blankets drawn yer the head. This IL
the sad sign OF one who needs no m6re
help. They motioned the bearers to set
1t aside In a corner and when the last
wounded man had been looked over the
surgeons reverently lifted the blanket
from the face. The dead" man sat
suddenly up with a loud "Boo!" Then
the case" laughed. lay down and again
drew the blanket over his face. They
let him play his joke on others for q
while. then sent him to q ward to have
some machine gun bullets picked out.
DO you suffer very much, ladder"
asked a nurse of a soldier who lay in
his cot with white face and tight lips
in an American field hospital.
mo. Miss; oh, no." was the shaky
reply. I'VE marines don't suffer. you

HELMETS ON GRAVES

With the American Army in France.
(by maiD.-By their helmets you shall

It's the cas over the battlefield that
stretches north from the Marine over
rolling hills covered with grain fields
and woods.
AS the German forces retired thew
left many dead behind. American
troops following buried these Germans
where they fell at h first opportunity.
Usually the graves are marked with
nothing but a German helmet on the
fresh mound Of earth.
Sometimes a stick is erected, or a
ross. depending on the intensity Of
time at the disposal of the "moppers-
up" Sometimes the German helmet ia
on top Of the cross. Once on the grave
the helmets are untouched.
The American dead were buried in
groups farther back when possible.
Sometimes this couldn't be done. Then
a silent group Of doughboys buried
their fallen by the roadside.
These, too. are recognized by the
helmets on the fresh earth mounds.

bottle stuck in he earth into which
data regarding the fallen fighter was

comrades. Some day 1t can be gath

BASEBALL MAGNATES
FACE KNOTTY PROBLEMS

New York.-.Major league baseball
magnates face a knotty problem at the
coming annual meetings when they
will be called upon to decide h status
OF the player at present under con-
tract or reserve. Very few of the club
owners hold the opinion. apparently.
that 1t will be possible to resume
league operations next spring. II such
proves to be the case and there are
few indications to the contrary. 1t
would appear that the majority Of
players who figured in the 1918 pen
nant races will not receive contracts
during the early months OF next year.
According to the present system 1t
is mandatory upon the clubs to renew
their options or reserve clause upon
players not later than January 1 each
year and to follow this action by mail
ing contracts to the players not lat err
than February 1. 1t is extremely
doubtful IL this procedure will be fol-
lowed in 1919. Under the ordinary
his contract by March 1. would become
a free agent and upon the resumption
Of big league baseball would be in q
position to sell his services to the
highest bidder.
1t Is understood, however, that the
magnates will hold that the business
OF baseball was suspended under In
structtons from the government and
that since the right to operate was be-
yond their control all contracts and
other legal phases are suspended auto
m%atically. Under this construction the
contract Of the player carries over un.
til such time as the government gives
consent for a renewal Of the business
Of baseball. Thus ii the professional
leagues do not resume until 1920, the
year Of 1919 would be considered as
nonexistent in so far as it might af-
feet a players contract.
There is still another angle to the
proposition which involves the mag
mates and the two major leagues as in
dividuals and cooperating business or
CARNATIONS. 1t might be held to be
within their rights to refuse tt nego-
tiate with or for he services of a
player who, previously to the suspen-
sion of the game, was the property of
another club. If such action were gem
orally adopted the player would be
obliged to report back to his original
club for a renewal Of his contract or a
release, IL he desired to reenter play In
either of the big leagues.

period Of transition between war and
peace and for the lines of policy which
will have to be followed after the war.
The projects already presented to. the
cortes in the present session relate to the
Identification of Pajars Pass. the Villa
blino Railway, the drainage of swamps
and marshes, preservation of woods and
potash salts.
According to mail advices, the minister
stated that all his plans tend In the
direction of an increased Intervention Of
the state and of an intense economic
n~ationalism. which he considers to be
absolutely indispensable in order hat
Spain may not be It the end of tn. war
a country economically Invaded and f.nan-
cially ~despoiled. The report continues:
1T has been proved that the psesent
railway companies are not financially able
to execute the urgent and necessary
works for the development of the national
railway system in a form adequate for the
future requirements of Spain, and the
minister. therefore. regards 1t as. a mat
ter of fundamental Importance for the
organization of the country's economic
life that the problem of the railways
should be solved. The minister further
stated hat until this problem is solved
Spain will not be able to increase its
military power however much is spent on
military services. nor will any proper
benefit be obtained from the assistance
given to the siderurgical. and metallurg-
ical industries. The intensification Of the
national railway system would open up q
wide field for the mining industry and
would make 1t possible to work in Spain
the ore now exported as raw material.
THE minister considers that conceg.
sions. both for mines and for water power
which the state may grant must be
limited to private individuals and to enter
prises which are domiciled in Spain. He
Is not in favor Of rejecting the aid of
foreign capital. but is Of the opinion that
steps should be taken to render it un.
necessary.
