from a commercial! traveller who said
that ION recent trip through Can
ada he saw a great many wounded
soldiers, and that afterward in no.
tel where he stopped he found a
card on his dresser, stating that
travellers should not tell in the
States of conditions in Canada, mean
ing that they should not carry the
news of the many wounded men now
to be found in Canada" The traveller
concealed his identity. His character
was easily discovered He is a pro-
German liar. No such request as he
described has been issued in Canada
The Canadians have nothing to con-
ceal They are proud of the fight
they have given the Kaiser and they

BROUGHT MANY
JOYS TO SPORT
Announcement of Peace
Lights Road for Return
of All Sports.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE coming
of peace brought many joys yester-
day. and by few was it hailed with
more joy than by major league
baseball owners. A feeling of op-
timism prevailed in all local base
ball headquarters. II guess this
clears the baseball skies, as well as
those of the general world situa-
tion." said John Heydler, acting
president of the National League.
Baseball. of course, will have some
serious problems to meet before We
take the field again, but things
surely have a different hue from
what they did when We suspended
play last Labor Day.
"As matters now stand the only
thing we will have lost will have
been month of play last Septem-
ber. Naturally. baseball men hail
the events of the last "a hours with
great joy, not only as patriotic citl-
zens. proud of the achievements OF
their country in winning a great
victorious peace, but as business
men whose business had been cur
tailed 100 per cent by the war, 1
think there were few business en-
terprises, If any. which were cur
tailed 100 per cent, as we. were.
I'm view of the fact that five
months will elapse before the Gus
tomary Starting of the baseball sea-
son, there seems to be little ques-
tion about whether or not we will
start. BY that time the peace trea-
ties, without question. will have
been signed, and no longer will
there be essential or non-essentiai
employment. The returning armies
and men released from other lines
will take available positions, and
baseball men, naturally, will drift
back to the old work.
There seems no question that the
public will be anxious for the re-
turn OF baseball in the normal
course OF events. With the return
of peace things which engrossed the
attention of the people before the
war will come back into their own"
