PLAYERS MUST WAIT TURN
Baker Says No Discrimination Will
Be Shown Baseball Stars in Re-
gard to Army Discharges.

Des Moines, March 13.-Baseball
players will have to take their turn in
getting discharged from the army and
no discrimination in their behalf will
be shown, Secretary Of War Baker in
dictated. Several weeks ago Ban John
son, president of the American league,
called on Baker and Chief of Staff
Peyton March and afterward stated
that they had promised to release all
ball players from the service before
the season opened. To date no action
along this line has been taken by the
war department, and Baker intimated
that there would be none. Release of
baseball players from the army is
something / cannot discuss" said
Baker concerning the Johnson state
ment. "Ball players are just the same
as any other soldiers"

Wichita, Kan, March 13.-Evidence

by Fred Robertson, federal prosecutor,
at the trial Of 80 alleged members Of
the organization for violation of the
espionage act. The trial was set to
open.
In statement Mr.. Robertson de-
clared he would produce evidence to
show that gigantic scheme Of de-
struction was being fomented to over
throw organized government in Amer
lea and that this plot was but link
in the chain for a world revolution.
Robertson said that when the gov
eminent has gone into the records ''the
public will realize that demoralized
Russia was to have been but starter
in this campaign for the ascendancy
Of anarchy.
eve will prove collision between
the soviet regime of Russia and the
i. w. w. Of America" he said. '"Trotz-
ky, the bolshevik leader, went to his
land of plumber from the shores of the
United States"
The plot, the government expects to
show, was designed to shackle the
world and its trail Of intended destruc-
ton was to lead from Seattle through
the oil fields of Kansas and Oklahoma,
and thence to the Atlantic seaboard.
Strikes and sabotage were the twin
cudgels the I. W. WIS were to WELD
in their war against organized So

The T6loa, after debarking Canadian

March 10, but was ordered back to this

England because of the outbreak of
the harbor strike in New York.
At Mercy of Troops.
Captain Jackson told the authorities
that he had no guns aboard and that
his ship was at the mercy Of the sol
diers.
The captain said that his orders
from the British admiralty were to take
the men to Halifax and disembark
them there, but the military authori-
ties at Ottawa refused, it is stated, to
furnish transportation for the men to
their homes In the United States. After
having started for New York and be-
ing forced to return, the men cdm-
planned bitterly Of being held up on
their journey and their threats result

Men Without Country.
They say that after they served in
the British army for various terms Of
from two to four years it would almost
seem they are citizens of no country.
Most of them came to Canada during
the early months of the war and en-
listed in the British expeditionary
forces.
After consulting with the authorities
the only answer that Captain Jackson
could take back to the ship was that
those who had enough money to pay
their transportation and sufficient adj
ditional money to meet the United
States immigration law, would be al
lowed to land.

eabled from Paris, is an appeal to Congress to demobilize the in- dustries of the country and pre- pare for peace.
 To that end the President ur- ges the repeal of the Wartime Prohibition Act in so far as 1t re. lates to wines and beer; the re- turn of the railroad, telephone and telegraph systems to their owners; a general downward re- vision of the war taxes, with the repeal of the excise taxes on retail sales; such tariff changes as may be necessary to safe guard new industries created during the war and provision for meeting retaliatory tariffs i'm posed against the United States by other Governments; the de- velopment of the merchant ma rine; assistance to returning sol dierS in the matter of employ ment and the carrying out of Secretary Lane's plan to aid them in taking up hitherto unde veloped land; a labor program having for it's object the genu- inc Characterization oi industry, " and the submission of the Equal Suffrage Amendment to the Con. stitution of the United State.
 The Presidents recommenda- tions to Congress are necessari ly confined to domestic questions for no question of foreign policy can be submitted until the treaty of peace is formally accepted by the German Government. But none of these recommendations is in any sense partisan issue, unless the Republican majority wishes to quarrel with the Pres ident for proclai ming the obvi- ous truth that there is no occa sion for undertaking in the i'm. mediate future 'any general re- vision of cur system of import duties" and that no serious danger of foreign competition now threatens American indus tries , Taking the suggestions as d whole, there is no excuse whatever for partisan division.
 The American people are no less eager to get back to a peace basis than are the victorious sol diers to be demooilized, and the Presidents message for the most part concerns the things that are necessary to bring them back to a peace basis. If Con gress were promptly to enact the Presidents recommends tions into law the country would soon be in state of unparalleled prosperity, regardless of the Ii nancial burdens imposed by the war.
 Fortunately, on some of the matters of reconstruction it is within the Presidents power to force action. He specifically warns Congress that the railS roads will be handed back to their owners at the end of the calendar year, and also remarks that if he were here "I could name the exact date" for the re. turn of the telegraph and tele. phone systems. The business of providing for their financial reorganization is properly left to Congress, but if Congress fails to act the properties will go back anyway and Congress must take the responsibility for shirking it's duty
 In regard to some of the other recommendations the whole pow CT rests with Congress. This ap plies to the Wartime Prohibi- tion Law, which was enacted un der falsa pretenses; the labor program. the reduction of war taxation and the reconstru ction measures. But Congress need
