BALL PLAYERS

They viii Have to Take Their Turns

DIES MONIES, Iowa, March IL
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 indicated here before
departing last night.
Several weeks ago Ban Johnson
president of the American league
called on Baker and Chief of Stafi
Peyton March, and afterwards stated
that they had promised to release al
hall players from the service before
the season opened.
To date no action along this line
has been taken by the war depart
ment and Baker intimated Tuesday
that there would be none.
"Release of baseball players from
the army is something / cannot dis
cuss." said Baker, concerning the
Johnson statement.
BALL players are just the same as
any other soldier

Near its close, the senate relegated

which the house had passed. Twice
during the sixty-fifth congress the
senate negatived house action on
this measure.
Wartime prohibition, SO called, was
imposed on the entire country, to be-
gin July /, 1919, and both senate and
house passed the dry amendment to
/ the federal constitution which was
/ speedily ratified, and becomes effec-
tive January Is. 1920.
The closing session also replaced
on the books a child labor law, the
previous one having been declared
unconstitutional. BY taxing profits
from the sale Of products of child
labor in the revenue bill. advocates
of this legislation declared they have
gotten around the constitutional OBJ
lection. A test Is coming on this.
i Practically no reconstruction legis-
lation was passed The third session
failed to settle the permanent policy
on railroads or telegraphs, and was
una BILE to agree whether the execu-
tive or legislative branch of the gov
eminent should supervise general re-
construction policies.
During the entire congress, but
chiefly in the second session, there
was a conflict between congress and
the president. In the many clashes
the president was invariably able to
impress his will when a war measure
was up His only signal failure on
any measure was on woman suffrage
He failed with tho country when
in the fall of 1918 he appealed for
election OF democratic congress to
cooperate with him In reconstruc.
