 LITHUANjANS

Paris, Sept. 1.-An American bri- gade for service in the Lithuanian army has been formed, the work be- ing a complete success, according to an announcement made by the mili 1ary mission of the Lithuanian dele gation to the peace conference. Enough demobilized American officers to form the staff have applied for commissions and many discharged enlisted men have entered the ranks, it is said.
 The Lithuanian government is said to be planning to protect the enlisted men and is reported to be negotiating with a prominent insurance company to insure the men along the lines fol- lowed by the American army's in surance bureau. The cOmpany's Paris office has cabled headquarters for authority to issue such policies. The American Red Cross has also cabled officials in America for permission to form a medical and welfare unit to serve w,h the brigade.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
GENERAL SETBACK IN MARKET

New York, Dec 29.-With call money jumping from to 25 per cent. and back to. IS per cent. and to 1-2 per cent bid for short time loans, the stock market today expe- rienced another general setback in which many recent gains were wholly relinquished.
 The stiffer money tendencies oc- casioned little surprise, despite last Saturdays favorable bank statement. IL was generally anticipated that To- cl nd interior bnks would find it nec- essary to strengthen their reserves to meet January interest in dividend payments.
 In conservative financial circles 1t was freely predicted that the early weeks of the new year would witness further advances in interest and dis count rateA With attendant stiffep- Ing of quotations for commercial pa per.
 Other developments which gave momentum to the days extreme de- cines of 2 to points included the publication of numerous unfavorable statements of railroad earnings for November and further unstable con- ditions in foreign exchange.
 Incidentally the Bank of England weekly statement revealed a heavy decrease in liability reserves and the American dollar went to a higher pre- mium in Paris.
 Traders sought to extract a degree of comfort from the forthcoming re- turn of the railroads to private op- eration and a broadening demand foi railroad equipment and copper, but those factors exerted little more than temporary influence.

George M.

 These boys are Red Torpi1y, veteran infielder; Earl Simpson, outfielder, and Jack Watson, pitcher.

 This action was requested by Coaches Shy Huntington of Oregon and Bob Fisher of Harvard, who ad- Vocated the later starting hour be- cause of fear that the hot weather might continue.
 Harvard players were lectured this morning by Coach Fisher on what was said 10 be contemplated changes in the Crimson's mode of attack brought about by their view of the practice of the Oregon's eleven. This afternoon they held secret practices on several new formations.

BAN JOHNSON BELIEVES
 PEACE IS AT HAND

It is expected that President Ban Johnson will call a meeting of the American League in Chicago early in January. Some of the club own CTS who support Johnson believe that by that time an effort along satisfactory lines to bring about peace among the warning magnates might be received with some con- sideration by the Ruppert-Comis- key -Frazee insurgents.
 If the January meeting is being held, however, with the idea that there will be a compromise with Johnson still in power. Big Ban has been badly advised about affairs. Col. T. L. Illus ton and Harry H. Frazee both stat ed Saturday that there would be no chance whatever of any kind of com promise as long as Johnson remained president.
 It ih not likely even that the New York. Chicago or Boston clubs will be represented at the January meet ing, which Johnson plans to call soon after the meeting of the Ma tional commission on Monday, Jan- uary 5. What the insurgents failed to accomplish among the club owners they will endeavor to accomplish in the courts, and they say that there will be no let up of any kind until the courts settle the matters now ir | controversy.
 A meeting of the American League l Is necessary soon, because much o1 I the routine business of the organi- zation was laid aside at the annua meeting on account cf the interna discord.
