To the Married Men.

To the Married Men:
We single men are in receipt of your
windy letter. You caused quite drought
with your blowing. Now this challenge
to us is extremely ill-timed, as we will
be unable to place more than four of
our regular team on the field Thursday
evening. Our pitcher is out, one man is
to be out of town, our right fielder has
a bad knee, and our catcher had finger
split in the game Tuesday night. Would
you not be willing to postpone the con-
test until the following week, when we
promise to give you a better trimming
than the allies gave old Hindenburg.
You can see chat it will be much better
for your reputation to be shown up by
our first team than to have our second
string men swamp you. Please confer
with our manager and captain and set
tie with them all matters concerning the
coming contest. Can you benedicts beat
us7 If you can, then Nick Altrock has a
fine chance to win beauty contest from
Marguerite Clark As to pounding that
pill to all corners of the lot, we have a
strong notion that as heavy sluggers
you are all cross-eyed carpenters. No
duobt you have a good team--for us to
trim. Yours pessimistically, Single Men.

 The German peace delegates have met the delegates of the allied and associated powers and again the green baiZe tables have carried out the first preliminary which probably will mean a return to actual peace in the not far distant future.
 This preliminary was the handing to the representatives of the allied and associated powers by the Germans of their credentials. certifying their right to act for Germany in accepting the peace treaty, which later is to be given them, outlining the terms which the peace conference in Paris has decreed

HUNS BLAME BRITAIN FOR ATROCITIES WITH
 HOPE TO CAIN TRADE
Claim England Deliberately Caused Despoliation of
 Belgium. France

BERLIN, May 1.-The British will fully brought on the destruction of industriars France and Belgium. That is the statement of the General Union of Manufacturers of Exporters of Fer Hin.
 But the Germans saved the goods and much of the machinery of the occupied regions and now they are the. only people who can supply the former customers of these regions, they declare.
 Here is the text of a letter sent out by the German business interests making these statements:
 You must take great care to as- sure our pre-war clients who, what ever their nationality, for one reason or another, hesitate to recOmmence operations in commerce with us that they must not hope to obtain from any other source manufactured arti- cles, that with the resources at our disposal we are prepared to supply in practically unlimited quantities as soon as the peace is signed.
 ''The systematically brutal and in human methods pursued by the Fran CO-BLlllSA III T anu Dcl- gium during the war, and particularly by the English have brought about the total destruction by gunfire (de- struction by the English) of all the factories, of all manufacturing cen ters, stocks of raw material, coal, lines of communication, rolling stock in. all the area which has served as the theater of war.
 Our civil and military service, hor- rified at the sight of such spectacles of systematic obstruction, which they were unable to avert, saw their way to lessen their intensity in some meas ure by transporting into German ter Titory practically all the material to be found in the country occupied by our valiant armies.
 We have thus been able to save from destruction stocks of raw ma terial and manufactured goods of in- estimable value; these stocks remain at the complete disposal of manufac- turers and our merchants.
 In this manner our happy foresight has served to assure the populations of the world of the easy revictualling of the globe in manufactured articles after the war, despite the fact that the savagery of the British troops nearly deprived them of that privilege"
