DEATH OF FEDERALS IS
SADLY GRIPPING MINORS

President Navin OF the Detroit club
advances a reason for the failure Of
the minor leagues TO prosper. Prior
TO the launching o. the defunct Fed-
eral league Mr.. Navin says that the
minors received an average Of $780,
900 a year from the majors for play
ing talent. The war with the Feds
resulted in a gradual retrenchment,
from which the majors had not re-
covered when the great world conflict
began to be felt in this country. In
view OF the majors agreement 10 pay
more than 100000 for the elimination
OF the Feds, the minors have found Il
hard TO exist with their chief source
Of revenue reduced to a minimum.

most serious diseases start with a

IN SHEER CRUELTY

Evidence of Fiendishness
of Hun Surgeons.

A Fish prisoner taken near ST.
Quentin in March said that all amputa-

without anesthetics, owing to alleged
shortages of them. correspondent

Il saw him. He was q major in

When ! found him, in the huge build

FIFTH ARMY FOUGHT WELL
British Troops, Battling Against Des-
perate Odds, Allowed Enemy to
Gain Only by Inches.

Then | was with the British Fifth
army, and I'll tell you why they didn't
hold against the Boche-they simply
couldn't They were outranged and
outnumbered cruelty. Never in my
life did l see such heroism and gal
lantry displayed against frightful odds
as by those men, and if they didn't
fight then there never was any fight
ing anywhere upon the face of the
earth, Maj. Cushman A. Rice, q. S. A..
writes in Leslie's Magazine. Attacked
by tremendously superior German
force, they lost almost all of their ar
tillery of any weight the first day. but
stuck at the Somme line until almost
annihilated. For every inch of ground
they gained the Huns paid the highest
price in men. and | could tell 500 in
stances in which the British battlers
proved to be magnificent heroes. j
saw captain who was in charge OF
a battery of six-inch howitzers have
a hand shot away. He stopped fight
ing only long enough to have tempo
rary dressing applied and then return
ed to his post and assisted his men
in removing the guns. He was killed
the next day l was with a machine
gun company until all but three of the
men had been killed or incapacitated.
| told them that / was going to fall
back and urged them to do likewise.
The leader, a little Lancashire SER
geant. answered: mo, the Boches
have chased US far enough. Here we
stick" And they stuck and were
killed to the last man.
And these Canadian units. Man, !
simply can't tell you how they fought
against odds for five days and six
nights, going back only inch by inch.
One division of 10000 men. sent in to
replenish the line, fought continuously
for three days and nights. A roll call
showed 916 left. Still there are those
who ask If the British ran away. No,
a thousand times no. With compare
lively few reserves they hung on. They
were sacrificed, but it was their duty
to stay, and they did. Too much can
not be said In praise Of the Fifth
army, for 1t saved the day and pre-
vented the Huns from breaking through
to Abbeville until the French came up.

Work for Shell Shock Men

The kind of employment the shell
shock man undertakes, whether he re-
turns to his old work or takes up some
thing new that suits him better, is one
of the deciding factors in his recovery.
The work must be congenial and it
must be something he can do without
strain or worry. And the hours, more
over, must not be too long, A patient
whom l have known for FIVE years does
highly skilled kind of technical work,
which he thoroughly enjoys, and for
which he is highly appreciated by his
firm. In his zeal for his work, he from
time to time has spell of working
over hours, with the result that he be-
comes fatigued and then takes alcohol
and for while is wholly irresponsible.
These attacks could be avoided If his
wife were skillful enough to prevent
his overworking. For the man with
shell shock the nature and hours of
work should be given the most care
full consideration.-Mary G. Jarrett in
Tombstone New York;

"Made in Germany"

A correspondent just back from
The Hague tells me, says a writer
In Westminster (England) Gazette,
that an exhibition has just been
held there of work done in Germany
by our men who have been trans
ferred to Holland. The prisoners have
evidently shown wonderful ingenuity
in gathering materials for their handi-
work. A colonel who exhibited Sc
rles of books tastefully bound in blue
and white, had obtained his binding
materials from cardboard packages in
his parcels. There was a considerable
show of knitted goods, for which the
wool was secured by pulling down"
old socks. Another curious exhibit
was tiny model of a motor chassis
made from meat tins, door hinges, and
such things, of which the rubber tires
were made from the handle of ten
mis- racket. Even German bread had
been pressed into service, as a pair
of carved and painted sabots was pro-
duced from a loaf. 1t is to be hoped
that London will soon have an oppor-
tunity of seeing this evidence of the
resource and courage with which our
men have faced the terrible captivity.

Animals Fear AIrshIns

All animals are terrified by airships.
Partridge, quail and other game birds
crouch and hide, while domestic fowl
utter loud warning notes the instant
they perceive the monstrous bird of
prey.
The Swedish aeronaut, Van Hoffken,
while sailing at moderate elevation.
observed that elk, foxes. hares and
other wild animals fed at his ap-
proaen. and that the dogs ran, bowling,
into the houses.
While the Zeppelin III was going

nauts on board noted that horses and
cattle galloped frantically over the
fields ON catching sight of the air.
