Great interest attaches to the plan
of the President to reveal to the
members of Congress concerned
with foreign relations the various
moves made by the various dlplo-
mats in reaching an agreement upon
the draft for the constitution of the
league of nations.
Destined to be HISTORIC.
AS indicated in the cablegram,
President Wilson is anxious to pre-
vent any public discussions of the
proposed constitution by leaders OF
the Senate and House until he has
an opportunity to point out to them
the various conflicting desires of
the nations. The keynote of the
message, and the factor which viii
make the dinner one of the most
historic in the annals of legislative
history, is contained in the SEN
tence:
"There is good and sufricic mt
reason for the phraseIogy and sub
stance of each article"
For the first time, light is thrown
upon the identity of the signatortes
who will be asked to join in form
ing the league. Article VII of
the proposed constitution sets forth:
Admission to the league of
states not signatories to the
covenant and not named in the
protocol hereto as states to be
invited to adhere to the COW
enant requires the assent of not
less than two-thirds of the
states represented in the body
of delegates and shall be limited
to fully self.governing cOun-
tries, including dOminions and
colonies

Tax Causes
Labor Shortages
BY United Press.

BY United Press
LAREDO, Texas, Aug. 5.-Inability
to secure $500 is keeping many Mex
lean laborers from jobs that literally
are before their eyes-and inidentally
causing a farm labor shortage on the
ranches of the Rio Grande valley
that is worst in years.
Since passage of the draft laws,
when thousands of Mexican laborers
left the United States for Mexico to
avoid military service, cheap labor
has been at a premium throughout
the Texas cotton belt and in truck
farms and construction camps
With the war over employers i'm
medately took steps to secure return
of the Mexicans, but the Omitted
States immigration service refused to
lift its ban. An $500 head tax is the
first and most serious problem con-
fronting the Mexican who wants to
come back to his old job in America.
Eight dollars to the average Mexican
laborer, in Mexico, is as much as
egiht thousand. He hasn't that much
and there is no way to get it.

New York. Aug. 5.-The stald old
London Times, for the first time in
its 1S1 years, has printed box score.
Not only that, but it describes the
game in baseball slang that would
bring blush to the cheek of an
American writer. A copy of the
! Times, received here today, contains
the following:
IN a closely contested game OF
baseball at oxford, between Oxford
and Cambridge-teams composed TO,
the most part of former American
college men attending the two uni
versities, Oxford won 6 to 4.
THE pastime was featured by the
heavy stick-work of Wallace, former
Harvard star, who slammed out a
three-bagger and homer in three
tries with the willow. For the first
three frames both teams hung tough
and allowed no scoring. The fourth
inning netted a brace for the home
lads Ives elouted one to center and
Richards let the sphere slip Eagle
watched four bad ones go by and,
after Ives was tagged trying to steal
home, was pushed over for the first
tally when Williams leaned against
one for two sacks. Shawenecy went
bad here and gave Storey a free
ticket, and Wallace came through
with three e-station bingie that shov
ed Williams and Storey across. Brown
ended the agony by missing three
In the sixth, Cambridge made an
effort to close the gap when Shaw
enecy kissed the leather for a bingle
Richards picked a double and Myers
followed up with same swat which
brought the count within one. It'll
looked good for another after Myers
swiped the second stop, but Thorn
gate and Hart both carved the
breeze. Oxford wasn't going to let
them feel too good about 1t, though,
so they slipped up a few more to
convince the crowd 1t wasn't visitors
day. Eagle went to first ON Myers
error, Gammell took a stroll, and
both were forced at the third corner
by Williams and Storey Wallace
stepped into nice one for the wash
out dribe and was well over the plat
ter before the pill was relayed in.
Shawenecy was here yanked to give
Clarke a chance to use his slants,
and after singing through second,
Brown was nabbed off the first pill
low.
Cambridge came back strong in
the eighth when Shawenecy singled,
Richards was given a life, and both
scored with the help OF two-timer
from Myers and a nifty sacrifice by
Thorngate, but the combined efforts
of Hart and Beal could not push the
anxious Myers over"
