willing to exchange Pitcher Paul
Fittery to Los Angeles for him. Hogg
is a veteran. turning grav in fact
but his good work in the Coast league
last year indicates that he still has
great pitching ability. Hogg did not
get going until the last half OF the
Coast league season, then he went
like a whirlwind. winning twenty
four out OF his last twenty-s'x games
and having a run of fourteen straight
wins.
In connection with the announce
mcnt of the unconditional release by
the Kansas City club OF tho veteran
Tommy Leach. many columns of
sym pathetic remembrances are he
ing handed out for Tommy. However.
he's not looking for them. He has
run his good race in baseball, with
honor to himself and to the game and
he retires-granting that he is done

with regret. Just now Tommy is
more concerned In keeping his orange

deserted village these days. Nothing
of an athletic nature is going on at

G. AS team has been torn to pieces
several times. 1t causes downcast
spirit among the fans at first thought,
but when they consider the purpose
for which all this sacrifice is made
and that the sun is shining bright be-
hind the clouds-then he willingly
makes this sacrifice. When the boys
come marching home they will be
in better physical condition, stronger
and with more enthusiasm. They will
swarm the gymnasiums and public
recreation grounds and the fans will
witness a great festival of athletic en-
deavor.

the performers, but 1t Will hurt the
big leagues also. as the minors are
their source of supply. Also they form
the big league farms.

KAISER HALTS PEACE
FARLEY WITH RUSSIANS
$4,000 German troops Revolt When
Ordered From Eastern Front to
France-SuppIies Cut Off.

London, Jan. IAN official state
ment issued at Berlin Saturday and
forwarded from Zurich announced that
because Of the Russian request to
transfer the peace conferences from
Brest-Litovsk to Stockholm, the CEN
trail powers had temporarily suspended
the negotiations with Russia.
The message, which was filed at
Zurich Saturday, said:
another crown council was held
today at Berlin, which Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Won Luz
dendorff attended. After the meeting
this official announcement was issued:
I'm consequence of the request OF
the Russian government to transfer
the seat of negotiations from Brest-
Litovsk to Stockholm, the central pow
ers have temporarily suspended the
negotiations with Russia
A dispatch received here from the
Russian wireless service says that 25,-
600 German soldiers in the region east
of Kovno have revolted. German de-
serters stated that in consequence of
the government drafting all soldiers
below the age of thirty-five for dis
patch to the western front, the afore-
mentioned number of men rebelled and
marched out of the battle line.
Then they entrenched themselves
with rifles and machine guns against
the other German units. The German
military authorities have been power
less against the revolters and are try
ing to cut off their food supplies.
The German deserters declared that
one of the motives for the revolt was
that the sending of troops to the west
ern front was q contraventiOn of the
Russo-G German armistice agreement.

WHAT VICTORY MEANS.

Contributed by Booth Harrington

paign of Patriotism Through Educa-
tion.)
A victory for Germany-that is, a
conclusive victory and a German
peace"-would mean that Germany
had defeated the world, including what
the world believes to be the better
part of Germany itself Prussia would
be cock O. the walk, and the world
would be the walk. The United States
would be merely part of the walk. and
Prussia would walk upon it.
The United States would be first a
defeated nation and then conquered
nation. 1t would take orders from
Potsdam = promptly. Eventually it
would parade at the goose-step. At its
head, on horseback, would be not an
American President, but a German
Kaiser.

have made the world a smaller place.

Germany wins, the government of the
world will be a German Kaiser; If
America and the Allies win the gov
eminent will be all the rest of us.
Those Americans who wish to govern
themselves are "for" the war. Those
who wish to be governed by a Kaiser
are against it. The lukewarm and the
Indifferent are asleep; they do not
know what threatens them in this sleep
of theirs. They may wake to night
mares of reality worse than those Of
sleep.
The struggle cannot end, and can
but temporarily abate, until either a
Kaiser rules the world or the people
of the world rule themselves. There
is no middle ground; defeated Ger
many would eventually get rid Of its
Kaiser: victorious Germany would
keep its Kaiser-and keep him over
