Australia Has Enough
 of Germany's Rule

Melbourne, November 1.-The Aus tralian Senate today passed the reso- lution moved by the ministry last week providing that it is essential to the future welfare of Australia that the captured German posses- sions in the Pacific now occupied bv Australian and New Zealand troops should not in any circumstances be restored to Germany. The resolution also provided that in the considera- tion and determination of any pro- posals affecting the destiny of those islands Australia should be consulted.
 Acting Prime Minister Watt in sup porting the resolution, said Australia did not enter the war for plunder and did not seek the islands because of their wealth. He added that he could say unhesitatingly that any proposal to restore the islands to Germany would be dangerous. New Zealand. he said, stood squarely with Austra- lia in this matter. MT. Watt declared that international control of insular possessions had never been 8 success.

 CLEAR FATAL LETTER ISSUED ON AUGUST 1
Repeatedly Wished for So- lution of Territorial Dis pute Between Italy
 and Austria

Roma November 1.-The Osservatore Romano, the official vatican organ. to- day prints letter from Pope Benedict to Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretar of state, in which the pontff says that after the recent happy success of the Italian armies efforts were made to ex- cite in the Italian public mind the be- lief that the pope had expressed some regrets over the victory The letter points out that in a papal letter on Au- gust l, 1917, and on other occasions. I've nave expressed repeated wishes that the territorial questions between Austria and Italy receive solution conforma- ble to the just aspirations of the people. and recently we have given instructions to the nucio at Vienna to establish friendly relations with the different na- tionalities of the Austro- Hungarian em- pire, which are now constituted inde- pendent states"
 The letter says the church's mission or canctification adapts itself to the diff 1erent forms of government and accepts without difficulty the legitimate territor- ial and political variations of the peo- pie
 We believe the letter continues
 that our ideas and expectations being more generally known, no wise person would wish to attribute to us regrets which have no foundation Ine letter closes with an expression or nope that the war will be succeeded by uhlVersal concord which will bind the nations IT league fertile of well be- ing.

Major league baseball will be played in 1M9
 When ''finis" was written on the world war it lifted baseball magnates from the depths of gloom to the highest pinnacle of happiness.
 Those who felt when the ball parks were closed last September that they would not reopen until 1920 or beyond and then open under far different con ditions than have prevailed in the past were wrong. Their mathematics were conflict which means that there will not be the threatened lapse in professional baseball next year.
 "It is an absolute certainty that all of the big league parks will reopen in 1916" declared John Heydler, president of the National league. "The ending of the war came in sufficient time to give the club owners all winter to lay their plans for the campaign of 1919.
 "It is impossible just now to state just what the makeup of the various teams Will be. Practically all of the great players who left the game 10 en- ter the war or to engage in some es- sertial employment should be back i'll the fold when springtime comes. Of course, it is possible that a dozen or more of the great stars will not be mus tered out of service until along in the summer Just what will be done in this connection is matter that government officials alone can decide. But it is an absolute certainty that there will be enough baseball material available in the spring to resume playing in all of the big league cities
 DO you look for high-class baseball in 1919?" Heydler was asked.
 q really believe that baseball in l9ls and for several years to come will be better and faster and cleaner than il has been for many seasons declared the leader of the National league.
 'The men coming back into the game after spending many months on the bat tlefields of France, in the cantonment' or in essential jobs, will be more thar delighted with chance to get bacl into baseball harness again. They vii appreciate the game more, and, believe will play with more of spirit than Wal shown through 1917 and through 1918.
 '.The veterans are going to have whole lot more competition than eve before. There were many youngsters il the American trenches who were req baseball stars-but who never had playe'

, in professional harness. A list of those players has been compiled and everyone that wants a chance undoubtedly will be given it. It is certainty that magnates
 will be a whole lot more willing to give tryouts to sensational youngsters who
 have seen war service than te those who stayed at home. New blood always means new life in the game and am certain that with these youngsters in big league
 uniforms they will set pace that will keep some of the veterans dizzy follow ing them.
 Baseball during the last two years lost
 some of it's snap and there was crltl- I cism in some quarters that the players
 were conducting themselves in a rather | listless fashion. That may have been true to certain extent in 1918 when ] players did not know one day what the
 next would bring Therefore, without any assurance of permanent jobs as ball play CTS, they did not throw themselves heart and soul into their work, and, of course, the standard of baseball fell off
 But in 1919 without the menace or war the players will show far diff fferent spirit They know that the re- tention of their jobs depends upon their owE efforts. And each and every one l will give his very best"
 | Will there be reduction in salaries?' was the question put to Heydler.
 |
 doubtedly there will be a general re- duction in every branch of industry in !, the country during the next year-and l baseball will have to o-zsuffer with the rest. Just how great will be the reduc-
 tion as far as Baseball players are con cerned. is something thaSI cannot state at this time"
 l "Do you thing s40Oo season will be the maximum?
 | T cannot answer that question: re- 1 nlied Heydler Just what the maximum l will be-if there is any real maximum is matter that will be determined al the winter meetings of the baseball club owners. But it is certain that salaries l'au along the line as far as baseball nlavers are concerned, will be quite g hit lower than they were through lsl' and 1918. But I am sure that the cluf 1 owners will be as liberal as conditions | warrant. Baseball through l9l9-as Ial as attendance is concerned-ls someWha of a gamble But I really believe tna inc turnstiles will be far buster thar through 1918 and 1917, and I would no
 be surprised if the receipts for the veal
 in major league baseball went beyond
 the 1915 and 1916 marks. !,
