against the home talent.
Jack Dunn, s victory was two sided.
~ was not only conquest of physical
baseball ability. but also a win on inside
stun. Baltimore won because its STRAIT

inside stuff missed fire.
1t was the first defeat for the men

o. X. o. Raps Loudly
Old King Opportunity not only
shocked, but almost tore down the
Shibe door in the eighth. but diplomacy
on the part of the Orioles kept the AS
from tearing down the hinges of the
entrance. Two were down in the eighth
and the Mackmen were one run behind
when o. Ks o. started his rapping.
4, Shannon and Roth singled in row
and with George Burns up it looked as
II the old ball game was going to be
walloped right on the darkest part of
the whiskers. George hadn't had nit
during the entire engagement and he
was ripe for safety. He swung a
mean looking bat at Pitcher Frank when
he stepped to the plate and then Frank
sprang his inside stuff which worked
successfully for Jack Dunn.
Frank did the right thing at the right
time and signaled Carroll that he was
going to walk the. Mack slugger. This
he did with great success. and without
regard for the Texan reputation of Gene
Bailey. With three on, a single meant
victory. The Mackians decided to pull
some inside stuff themselves and it
worked. but not for the AS.
Bailey Idle
Morry Shannon was on third and he
made a desperate sprint for the plate
when the count was two and two.
Frank threw a slow ball and perhaps,
Shannon could have beaten it to the
plate. but he slowed up to allow Bailey
to take n healthy swing. The sphere
was wide enough of the disk to be
ball, but not too wide to reach. Its
course was not interrupted and Shan
non was an easy out.
The Orioles backed up their inside
stuff with some vicious hitting, and
they were helped along by couple of
boots on the part of the young men
on c. Mack's payroll. The big noise
came in the sixth, when Bill Grevsll and
the Mack defense weakened and the Bal
timore aggregation put over four runs.
Triples by Honig and Egon and mis-
plays by Berger and Burns contributed
to the Oriole quartet.

 They did not want to go as Kahn had gone-A stray sheep. They wanted to go as commissioned investigators, under auth1 1rity of the President of the United Statbs.
 So they urged MT. Dent to lead them. Mir. Dent cErried their request to the Secretary lf War. Mr. Baker was more than willing. He was anxious.
 Ut would be the very thing" was the way he pu1 it.

 Thereafte|r there was a period of waiting. NPthing developed. And then, one fine d5y, MT. Baker sent for Mir. Dent.

begins on July 1 next the total appro- priations made by Congress since war began for government expenditures will have reached s47.0O0, ,0O00o0. Somel have said that when peace is established and normal business conditions are restored 1t will be possible for Congress to en- act new revenue laws which will impose much smaller taxation than the one which now stands upon the statute books. But apparently MT. Good is of the opinion that the day when taxes can be reduced is distant although the rev. enues of the government may be from year to year considerably increased by methods which are not those of direct taxation.
 Nevertheless these revenues will mot be sufficient nor will any taxation which the people can bear without seriously affecting business be imposed. Therefore we must look to a succession of offerings of bonds or notes whereby the govern ment can obtain the money which rep resents the difference between the amount received from taxes ard the amount which will be required fol. gov ernmental operations.
 If this view is correct then instead of the approaching Victory Loan being the last, many others will succeed it.. Mir Goods brief forecast of the financial responsibilities which are upon the gov ernment brings forcibly to mind the magnitude of all the financing which must be entered upon as soon as peace is declared. Already the banks and the public are preparing for financing upon an extraordinary scale with which 10 en- able people of other lands to buy com modities in the United States. Already the estimate is made that our banks or the public will be called upon to lend not less than 500 000,00O, perhaps as much as S400, 900 600, each year to those in other lands who are anxious to buy in the United States. Already some very great financing is in contemplation whereby we can command foreign markets and increase them It is the presumption that we will be called upon to aid France, a nation which, financially speaking, is in greater need of assistance than arc any of the others with which we were asso- ciated while the war was in progress.
 These financial questions and the mo- mentous financing which we must under take now loom up as perhaps the most important of all the questions which the termination of the war has raised being considered more important from the ma terial point of view even than tho, inn mediate establishment of any covenant of nations.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, April (Special)-A lit tie girl belonging to tourist rarty had a remarkable escape from death Sunday afternoon when an automobils of which she was the sole occupant plunged over bluff on Big Cove mountain and alighted in a treetop practically undamaged and the little girl being unhurt. The car belonged to Walter James of this city. All mem bers of the party had stepped out of the car to pick wild flowers, leaving the child in the car, which was Dn a steep grade. While no one was lpok ing the brakes gave way and the car went over the bluff.
 After having been reported killed in action in France, and the government having begun payment of his insurance to his wife, W. M. League, discharged soldier of the American expeditionary forces, has appealed to the Red Cross home service branch here to help him find his wife. The young woman, who lived in one of the mill towns here, is reported to have reconciled herself to the loss of her young husband, land to have removed with her father to Ohio. League says he was wounded in the fighting last fall and was confined to a hospital several weeks before he became aware of the fact that he had been reported killed in action.
 The commissioners court of Madi- son county informally has taken action indorsing the movement for an issue of Alabama state bonds for 25,000, 900 for the building of highways.

N LONG with the Secretary of Wara
 N\ the military committee of the z S House of Representatives is at sea, en route to France.
 The committee is under the leader ship of Representative Dent of A1a- bama, who, during time of war, was its chairman. He will be succeeded, on the organization of the House by the republicans by Representative Julius Kahn of California. The chairman in-waiting is already in France Be- cause he is already in France, Mr. Dent and other members of the com mittee are en route.
 KAHN'S DREAM OF GRANDEUR
 It is altogether probable that had MT. Kahn restrained his anxiety to appear before the Crowned heads" as tentative chairman of the military committee-and in Europe that title IS a greater title than it is in the United States-Mr. Dent would never have sailed. For it is known that the Ala bamian had reasons for remaining at home, and that he consented to go only after strong persuasion by the Secre- tary of War and members of the com mittee. republican as well as demo- cratic members.
 !. But no sooner had Congress ad- journed than MT. Kahn, without speak 1. ing of his plans to any other member { of the committee, set sail for the pur- pose of acquiring information to guide him in preparing a permanent military policy for the United States. He was going to drink deep of the well of learning, for he was in that state of mind which conjures up dreams of greatness and forces one against his better judgment to admit that on his shoulders reposes the burden of the world.
 ASSOCIATES ARE RESENTFUL
 This attitude on the part of MT. Kahn was displeasing to the committee.
 No American, even though biased through partisanship, is willing to ad init that any other American knows 1t all" And no American, without an oC- casional display of his own judgmen is willing to proceed along any course in accordance with the direction of any other man.
 So the members, left behind by theIr
