AUSTRALIA WILL
 .CONSCR|PT MONEY
Bill Making Subscriptions Compulsory Passes First Reading in House of
 Representatives.

Melbourne, Oct. 12.-A bill making subscriptions to the war loans in Aus tralia compulsory has passed the first reading in the Commonwealth House of Representatives
 W. A. Watt, Acting Prime Minister. has moved the second reading of the bill, which calls for the making up of a shortage of voluntary subscriptions. Two classes of citizens are exempt, however, those whose taxable income falls below $250, and Australian sol diers and sailors serving abroad.
 The amount that an individual may be required to subscribe to all loans during any given year must not exceed six times his yearly average income tax for the three preceding years. The Commissioner of Taxes will be em- powered to decide objections, and an appeal board to be provided will be able to exact as a penalty from those failing to subscribe a sufficient amount to war loans an amount equal to twice the yearly average income tax for the preceding years The penalty, how ever, will not relieve the individual from the obligation to subscribe.
 This unique piece of legislation from the southernmost nation of the world is only typical of the progressive methods of statecraft that have long made it famous as great political laboratory.
 Of a character similar to the fore going law is the decision of the Fed eral Cabinet to remit penalties and forfeitures incurred by deceased Aus tralian soldiers and sailors who dieG since July 1, 1918, and whose ac, counts have not yet been adjusted.

KAISER LIKE XERXES,
 SAYS MAURES DONNAY

Natures Donnay, the celebrated French dramatic writer and member of the academy of immortals, was born fifty-nine years ago today, in Paris. When the war broke out Donnay proffered his services as a soldier, but in his case the govern ment considered the pen more pow erful than the sword.
 In his numerous articles dealing with the war M. Donnay has paid hIs respects to the Kaiser in a man. ner which has aroused the wrath of of the Teutons. Donnay sees a par allel between the careers of the Kali ser and King XerXes of Persia, who with his hordes sought to overrun and capture Athens, the center of civilization. The fate of XerXes, who was beaten back by the Greeks, will be that of the Kaiser, he predicts, only it will go much harder with the Prussian ruler than fate dealt with the ancient ruler of the Persians. ''XerXes certainly bears a strong re- semblance both to the Kaiser and the Crown Prince" he insists. And
 if the shade of Wilhelm I. should be invoked it might speak like the shade of Darius, who also was victorious in contrast to his descendants.'
 Donnay is but one of a number of the immortal forty' of the French academy to devote his time and tal- ent to the production of literature designed to present the cause of France and further the unity of the French people. The Academicians, | oI,,,Oct tO q man Offered tO +a lxa ac- tive part in the war, and Pierre Lott,

Mack Has Right To Sell
Stars AS Fans Didn't
Support His Winners

Connie Mack has often been called
the hralnlest manager in the big
agues. His ability to build up great
baseball machines together. with his
generalship in managing those ma
chimes on the field have given him
that reputation.
Mack has had two great baseball
machines since the American league
began Is years e and had another
on the way last Mack fin
lshed in the cellar. but he had a club
or youngsters who could hit the ball
and he la some very promising re-
cruits with whom ne expected to
force himself into Il select place In
the league within a year or two.
There probably was 10 more dis
appointed man in baseball than Mack
when he found Is of his men, some
OF them the hubs round which he
was building his machine. were call
ed by the draft. 1t meant that the
work Connie had been doing since
the fall of 1914 had gone to smash.
There were two things Mack could
do. He could try to build up a club
around the few stars who remained
sell his stars and begin over again
and make up for his losses.
Mack chose the latter step and for
a good reason.
e a space of four years Mack
had a winning team, winning the pen
liant three times and finishing second
once. In spite of the fact that his
players were not paid huge salaries
and that the club was operated eco
nomically he lost money. On this ac-
count he decided to break up his club
in 1914 and get what h could from
the sale of players.
His sales METER him %$125,o0O.
enough to cover his deficits and give
him capital to build up a new, ma
chine.
His late sales will cover deficits for
this year and perhaps next.
lack probably would have made
more money from baseball had he
not been so heavily interested in the
Athletics. He owns half the club and
its losses are his losses. It is well
known that Mack has received flat
tering offers to manage other Ameri-
can league clubs. 1t is said he was
offered $4,000 a year to take tn.
Yankees the a Frank Chance man
aged them n that Comiskey would
have paid him 100000 a year the
season Rowland was secured. But
Mack. was forced to refuse these Of
fers and stay at Philadelphia. After
giving Philadelphia five winning
teams it is not at all surprising that
he. should now be trying to repay
himself for the work he has done
there.
