Americans and Germans clashino

Between the Americans and the
Germans there is constant exchange
iof artillery fire and the Americans
continue to carry out patrolling man.
eIvers toward the enemy entangle-
n1ents. The Germans evidently are
anxious to gauge the positions occu-
PIED by the Americans and also to as
certain the number of men they are
employing. for daily their aircraft are
towering ever the lines taking photo
graphs and making observations.
Anti-aircraft guns several times
have driven off the enemy.
Although the increase in the activ-
ity along the entire front in France
ana Belgium is noticeable there is no
indication as yet when the Germans
wlll begin their much heralded gsnsral
offensive.

New York, Feb 1S.-National league baseball club owners went on record at the final session of the annual schedule meeting here today as coh- demning the practice of club owners or managers making public offers for players of other clubs. Action was taken after Branch Hickey of St. Louis had made an earnest speech in which he complained of the offers made to Shortstop Hornsby of his team by the management of the Chicago Nation alS.
 Walter Craighead, who represented President Weeghman of the Chicago club at the meeting, denied any inten- ton of injuring the St. Louis club in trying to set the services of Hornsby and asserted that there was no undue publicity given to the efforts of the Chicago management in doing SO. Hickey insisted that the public bid ding for the player had made Hornsby dissatisfied and caused the clubs own CTS considerable difficulty in retaining him.
 Only two deals were announced here today The Philadelphia Nationals bought Niles Main, pitcher, from the Louisville club, and the. Boston Americans purchased Outfeider George Whiteman from Toronto, where he made a very impressive record last season. Manager Barrow also an nounced that Outfielder Strunk had signed his contract with the Boston Red Sox.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS UNSETTLED.
Early Gains Were Cancelled in the
 Later Dealings.

New York, Feb. 13.-The stock mar ket seemed to be favorably influenced in the early stages of today's trading by events over the holidays. Leading issues gained one to two points and a few specialties as much as three to four in the active first hour.
 Later the greater part of this ad- vantage was cancelled for no apparent reason other than that resulting from profit taking and the failure of specu- lauive 1Eterests si follow up their initial operations.
 There was moderate accumulation of buying orders, but this demand was soon satisfied. The usual divergence of opdnion prevailed respecting the significance of President Wilson's lat est address and the bewildering changes on the Russian situation. In no simpoEtant quarter was it believed, however, that peace prospects had been flastened.
 Shippings owed their prominence and strength to specific causes, three point rise in Atlantic Gulf being ac- companied by reports of forthcoming change of control.
 Industrial Alcohol, General Motors, General Electric, Baldwin Locomotive, Crucible Steel and Royal Dutch Oil constituted the other strong special ties. very little reInaiDirg Of their two to four point gains at the end

railroad in the hands of it's former management would have continued to pay dividends and serve it's constitu- ency of passengers and shippers with reasonable rates and adequate facil- tiles"
 It is hard to account for such unfair and wholly unfounded statements. Every informed person knows that for many years before it was taken over by the New Haven. the Boston & Maine paid dividends that wers not earned. The New Haven road put tens of millions of dollars into the Boston & Maine, and so saved it from bankruptcy, and enabled it to serve the public much better than be- fore it took possession.
 Again. it is. even urged by those SUD- porting the minority report, that com- peting lines which do not pay should be helped out by those which do pay. The self sustaining roads, and the capital which went into them, are to be compelled to stand and deliver to the roads that were built for the ex- press purpose of compelling prosper ous competitor to buy them out The advocates of this plan insist that the uonpaying roads are just as necessary to those who use them as are the self sustaining roads to their patrons. Their idea seems to be that farmer A. who has a farm 100 or 1000 miles from farmer B.. or mechanic A. who lives 100 or 1900 miles from mechanic B should, contribute toward the pay ment of B's railroad fare.
 Failure of Federal Management.
 We are already experiencing some of the blessings of government man agement. of the means of transporta tion and production. AS time goes or other delights will probably follow. If the samples which have been supplied by the heads of the executive depart ments are fairly representative of the remaining stock in trade, those of us who will need food and fuel to sus- tain life would best start for the ba- mana belt early next fall.
 Hopes Senate Will Fix Time Limit.
 I have tried to set forth some of the reasons which compel me to op- pos government possession and control of the railways until Congress shall otherwise order" I hope the senate will insist upon fixing a time limit. | hope the American people vii givt this subject the atteRtion1it !desefwe. befoe 1t becomes q national issue a 1. the polls. a..' : T- L
