Confidence on the Side of Right.

Confidence is altogether upon the side
of the champions of right. The soldier of
the western democracieS understands and
feels more and more the living purpose
of this war, and amid the fortunate or I'M
fortunate accidents of the struggle, the
solidarity of nations.
He knows, he sees, he believes that the
league Of democratic nations will prevail
over military autocracies. And the last
TO enter the lists, the Americans are not
the least fervent apostles Of this belief,
nor are they the least insistent in their
demands for justice.
This war, just like the French revou-
ton, has become almost religion Every
where among the small nations of the
centre of Europe and of the Orient it is
exciting the same passions which were
aroused in all hearts by the revolution of
1889. The Czechs of Bohemia, the Poles,
the Jugo- Slavs SERBS and Croatians) the
Rumanians, the Greeks, the Syrans, the
Jews Of Palestine, the Armenians, tho
hidDSi W., ss.i nave tHtII EYES IuTUtu To-
ward the Occident whence have come since
the eighteenth century all liberating words
and deeds.
What has succeeded in giving a quasi
religious aspect TO this terrible war for all
humanity that is really civilized is the ele-
waited aim which the combatants of the
league of democratic nations pursues: it
IS their faith in the eternal progress of
civilization. After peace the nations, we
sincerely believe, will continue to cooper
ate with the same generous ardor as dur
ing the war.
Then will come the reign of Justice
Military despotism will disappear. That
will be the end Of these periodic butcher
les. This war will prove the great war
against war.

Washington, July 19 Professional baseball players of draft age must work or fight immediately. and the dia1t regulati0ns may be changed soon 10 include theatrical performers and moving picture players and employees among those to seek new jobs, or face induction into the army
 Secretary Baker settled the ques- ton holding the game a non-product- i've occupation and saying so far from amending the resolution to exempt Dall players, he believed the scope of i2s provisions should be so enlarged as to include other classes of persons whose professional occupation is solely that of entertaining.
 Legitimate theatrical performers were specifically exempted in the orig inal work or fight order of the pro vost marshal general. and a recent ruling placed in this class actors and skilled men employed in producile moving pictures
 The secretafys decision was given on an appeal ill the case of Edward Ainsworth, veteran catcher of the Washington American club, where de- ferred classification on account of his wife and child recently was revoked by local draft boar
 All arguments against tbe ruling and in favor of suggestion that the regu- lation should be modified in favor of the national sport. weer swept aside by Mir Baker He held that baseball as a business does not differ from other civilian peace time industries, which must make sacrifices in the stress of war and moreover, that fl is by no means certain that so many players are of draft age that the or. ganization will be disrupted. As tO the claim that baseball players, hay ing devoted themselves to the game are not fitted to adequately support their families by lator in other lines, he said. it is quite inconceivable, in view of the fact that ball players are men of unusual physical ability, dex- terity and alertness
 The point tha baseball has been ac- cepted as the national sport and is for many workers and business men the only opportunity for wholesome out door relaxation, and enjoyment was treated as a serious one. But the sec retary declared times were not norma that other means of recreation could be found and that:
 "The non productive employment oi able bodied persons, useful in the na- , tional defense, either as military men or in the industry and commerce o' our country. cannot be justified.

 The passing of the club, operated under management of 'loddIe" Glass; co, was hastened because of stringent military regulations on both the ca nadian and Uaitcd States side of ths Detroit river, which made it almost impossible for patrons of the sport to cross the international boundary. so Glassco decided to tear out the roped arena in favor of the love and romance screen.
