The Executive Council of the Ameri-
ca Federation of Labor says: Labor is
loyal and wants chance to do its part.
Certainly federated labor has great op-
portunity, but its main idea of doing ''its
part" seems to be to get Sc. 60 for eight
hours labor. This, to the soldier, the
farmer, the factory men and to average
workers all over the country, does not
seem to be a very high grade of loyalty.
They do not recognize any exalted pa
triotism in the action of the shipbuilding

Another Tug Seized.

BOSTON, Feb. q. A protest against
the seizure of another of New England's
ocean going tugs as sent to the War
Department by James ]. Storrow, New
England fuel administrator, and a COM
mittee of labor men. Mr.. Storrow said
the loss of the tug meant reduction of
200, 600 tons of coal to New England
annually. He pointed out that three tugs
had been taken away from this district
within week.

mittee, witnesses testified that there were
both mismanagement and extravaganza
in the use of government money at Hog
Island and that the cost might be twice
the original estimate. Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board who is business
man of ability and energy, sent Rear
Admiral Bowles to study the situation at
Hog Island and to report his findings. A
special assistant to the Admiral was fur
nished by Atty-Gen. Gregory.
We do not have the text of the reports
returned to Mr.. Hurley but he felt it his
duty to present the facts to the President
Mr.. Wilson acted promptly and ordered
that action be taken to put machinery of
the law into operation. This unfortunate
condition of affairs is no fault of the adj
ministration as far as the President or the
present members of the shipping board is
concerned, but it is shock to the people.
The President is resolute and very
positive man and we anticipate that those
guilty of mismanagementa at Hog Island
will feel his wrath PROTECTING is ram
pant in this country and the people will
stand behind the President in all efforts
to punish every offender. We must have
ships and any firm or individual who him
ders their rapid production is guilty of
something which is almost treason. The
history of the affair shows clearly that
those who spend money which belongs to
other people, need watching, and why 1T
is so difficult for the government to get
satisfactory results for it's expenditures.

BELGIANS IN ALL ATHLETICS

Those who have not paid much at

SHEEP ON SMALL SCALE PAY
European War Has Developed Very
important Enterprise for the
New England Farmer.

CPrepa. ed by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrculture.)
Conditions created by the European
war have made sheep raising on
small scale very important enter
prise for the New England farmer,
so situated as to take advantage of
the economic conditions. i'riOr to the
recent remarkable advance in prices
of wool and mutton, sheep raising In
New England was comparatively un-
profitable, but now, under certain con-
ditions, revival Of the industry
seems desirable.
In study made Of sheep raising
in the New England states by special
lists of the u. S. department Of agri-
culture it was found that this indus
try when conducted on small scale
was more profitable than dairying.
They therefore recommend that sheep
replace the Improbable cows and that
the industry be given more attention
in sections unfavurable for dairying.
Kept H. small numbers, sheep do not
replace other kinds of live stock but
are kept in additlun to the regular
quota Of other stock on such farms
as have available pasture.
1t was found that regardless of
whether sheep were kept in cOnjunc-
ton with dairy Or wisli beef cattle,
farms with sheep have practically the

Moreover, farms with the sheep he'd
an average of Is more acres of pas
ture than did farms without the sheep,
warranting the conclusion made by the
specialists that sheep in New England
have not been kept to the exclusion
Of other live stock but have been kept
on farms with large pasture areas to
utilize the extra pasture available.
Though sheep raising as now con.

able business at present prices, there
IL much room and great need for the
Improvement Of the industry, and the
specialists say that the average grower
could, with better care, make the bust
ness much more profitable one even
under normal conditions and without
the artificial stimulus to prices given
by the war. BY proper care in breed
ing and feeding, the lambing rate
should be increased one-third and the
wool clip 10 per cent, which at present
prices would mean an increase in re-
ceiptS of nearly So per sheep.

FIRST PLAYER TO BE KILLED
Eddie Grant, Third Baseman Of New
York Giants, Meets Death Fight
ing in France.

Edward L. Grant, former third base
man of the Giants, is the first of the
many major league baseball players in
the service to give his life for his coun-
try.
At the outbreak Of the war Grant
joined the officers training camp at
Plattsburg and was commissioned a
first lieutenant. He was then detailed
to Camp Upton and soon went over
seas. Captain Grant was a native of
Franklin, Mass, where he was born
in 1883.
His first experience in baseball was
at Harvard university, where he
proved to be an excellent player. At
| ter graduation in 1905 he played with
an Independent club at Lynn, Mass.
and the following year went to Jersey
| City Of the old Eastern league. His
work attracted the attention of major
league scouts and in 1907 he was sign
ed by the Philadelphia National league
club, for which he played third base
till 1911. Then he was traded tC
Cincinnati for McQuillan, Paskert
Beebe and Rowan. He remained will
the Reds till 1913, when he was Dur
chased by New York.
Grant finished the seasons of 1911
and 1915 with the Giants and then re
tired in order TO devote himself to hi
law work in Boston. AS soon as tn
war broke out he joined the colors.
Grant was a clever third sacker an
fair hitter, his best major 1eagu
) batting record being .269 in 1909, whe
with the Quakers. He hit 1922 whe
with Jersey City in 1906.

CHANGE COMES OVER
ITALY ON BASEBALL
Great Possibilities There for ne.
veIopment Of Game.
Sport Has Been Virtually Unknown
There, Though Played by Ameri.
can Boys at College in Rome
Declared Too Rough.

John Evers writes from France that
he soon may be sent to Italy to teach
baseball to that country's soldiers, and
yet it was only a few months ago the
Italian government refused to permit
q shipment of baseball equipment on
the ground that it was nOnessential
commodity to be classed as even friv-
olous. Italy hasn't been nation IA
nous for sports, but before the Ameri-
cans get through they may be sending
a flood Of italian recruits up to the big
leagues. Baseball has been virtually
unknown in Italy, though. it has been
played in Rome at college for Ameri-
can boys. For time they played their
games in public park and natives
looked on in wonder as the boys
caught the hard ball with their bare
hands. It finally was stopped by Off
Gals, who considered it dangerous. 1t
may be remembered that in the winter
Of 1914 the White Sox and Giants
were refused permit to play a game
in Rome for the same reason. Upon
applying for the permit the officials
examined the ball and asked many
questions concerning the nature of the
game, then decided it was too rough
and too dangerous to be allowed.
Since that time the young men. of
Italy have been up against a much
rougher experience than playing base
ball, so the task of teaching them the
American game may be successfully
carried ON now.
The climate Of Italy is especially
suitable for baseball, being warm the
year around much as it is in CalifOr-
mia. 1t will stir up the fighting spirit
among the men of the Italian army,
and that spirit should live when the
war is over. 1t might not be surpris
ing if in few years from now the
pennant winners in the major leagHel
of the United States would visit Italy
for Il series of contests against Italy:
best. It might even be that in time
American big league teams will d.
their spring training at Rome or Ma
pies or Milan. It isn't much farther
than to California, and besides tn
team probably could get back home il
a couple of days by means of 1872
airplane.
