the situation in Petrograd is growing

However, the Russians claimed Thurs
day that the soviet forces were gain
ing continued successes along the
whole front from the Baltic to the
Black sea- and in southern Russia the
situation was such that the allied
troops were constrained to abandon
more positions, following the &acua-
ton of Odessa, and it was predicted
that they would soon get out of Sc

annihilating the bourgeoisie of Riga,
having shipped 10000 of them to the
Island of Haens in the Dvina river and
forbidden the taking of food to them.
That, it may be recalled, was the
method adopted by Constantinople to
get rid of it's horde of pariah dogs.
On Wednesday strong German forces
surprised and overpowered the Lettish
troops in Libau, overthrow the Lettish
provisional government and arrested
several officials. Premier Ullman took
refuge with the British mission there
and insisted that his government would
resist the German demands.

According to reports from the Cana
dian Department of Labor, the labor
situation, so far as skilled worlmen
are concerned, is but slightly worse
than normal, and not nearly SO bad as
at the end Of 1915. Recently 1,485 la
Dor unions, representing membership
of 1851 skilled workers, made re-
ports to the labor department, which
showed that of this number of workers
4930 were reported as unemployed on
December 81 last, this being a per
centage Of 2.42 as compared with the
previous year Of 2.17 per cent.
Unemployment had reached its high
est point in 1915, when 81 per cent of
the skilled labor In Canada was idle.
BY cities Toronto was the highest with
4.61 of unemployed skilled labor,
Winnipeg and st. John, New Bruins
wick, being at the foot of the list, the
former with 49, and the latter with
.64 per cent Of its population. IL.

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

The peace treaty with Germany is
completed and the German delegates
have been summoned to Versailles to
receive it on April %.
The associated powers have agreed
that there shall be no military inter
vention in Russia, but that they will
send food to that country, under neu-
trail control, if the bolsheviki will stop
hOstilities.
Those were the outstanding features
Of the news Of last week. and they bore
out the optimistic assertions that all
was progressing well in the great task
of settling the affairs of the world.
The delegation of Germans named
to go to Versailles includes the most
prominent of the German statesmen
now active in the government, except
Count Won Bernstorff, and though they
will be given time to submit the treaty
to the national assembly at Weimar, it
is hoped they will have the authority
and the disposition to accept it with
out that formality, thus obviating de-
lay. 1t was asserted in Paris that the
allied governments would not wait be-
You'd May Is for a definite answer as
to whether or not Germany would sign
the pact OF course the press and
public Of Germany are Wailing with re-
newed agony as it is made more evil
dent that the Huns will be required to
pay to the uttermost limit of their re-
sources, and repeatedly the assertion
is made that Germany will not submit
to the terms laid down in what is
called there a treaty of violence"
Even Prince Lichnowsky joined the
chorus of protests, saying an unjustly
extorted peace can only bring forth
fresh ornaments, and implying that as
a last resort Germany will Ego bolshe-
vik."

If Lloyd Georges assertion of full
agreement among the allied powers is
incorrect in any particular, the dis
crepancy involves Italy. At the close
! of the week the problem of Fiume had
not been solved and the Italians had
repeated their informal threats to re-.
fuse to sign the treaty with Germany
unless that city were given to them in
stead of to the Jugo-Slavs, as Presi-
dent Wilson wishes. The threats were
not taken seriously however, and 1t
was believed that after the British pre-
mier returned to Paris. that difficaltg-
would be adjusted. The treaties with
Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulga-
ria may not be ready for several
weeks after that with Germany is
signed.
An interesting report printed in the
Frankfort Gazette says the German
peace delegates are prepared to ask
from the allies payment for damages
sustained from aerial attacks, from
the occupation of German territory by
allied troops and for the delay in con-
Guiding peace, which caused prolong-
alton of the bolshevik and Spartacan
troubles. 1t is easy to guess how far
they will get with such demand.
The peace commissioners, or at least
the correspondents in Paris, were
somewhat worried by the setting up
of the communist government in Mu-
Mich, fearing lest this might make nee
essary a separate treaty with Bavaria,
the second state in the German confed-
GRAFTON. But it may be that before the
treaty is presented the regime of the
communists will have come to an end.
They have been having very stormy
time so far and the troops of the So
cialist government have been pressing
them hard, though some of the soldiers
have joined the communists. That
the food boycott Of the peasants
against Munich is effective is shown
by the fact that the communist gov
eminent has asked for loan of a mil
lion marks from Italy for the purpose
of buying food. 1t is said that chaos
! rules in Munich, all work has ceased,
no trains are running and the banks,
shops and houses are being looted.
The DEGREES issued by the communists
are many and radical, one ordering
the communication of all women, in
| Guiding wives.
In other parts of Germany there
was continuous disorder and strikes
were started in many places. After
further severe fighting in Magdeburg
the Ebert troops gained entire posses
sion of the city. In Berlin the en-
ployees in various industries struck be-
cause they were not given a voice in
| the management, and the soldiers and
/ noncommissioned officers of the army
| there also declared they would strike
If the order reducing their pay to
a peace-time basis was not rescinded.
Troubles with the workmen in Bremen
stopped the unloading of American
food ships there. In the Cologne dis
trict, occupied by the British, General
Plumer ordered the strikers to return

In both Japan and the United States

are busy trying to stir up trouble be-

events. The latest matter to arouse

though this may be fairly attributed to
the fact that the administration that
sent him to Washington has gone out
of power. Another possible reason is
that Japan's appointment of Baron
Yoshito Sakatani as financial adviser
to China was not approved by the
United States. A few days ago the
story was published that the American
troops in Siberia refused to help
Japanese contingent at Habarovsk be-
cause the latter had shot down Rus
sian women and children; the Japan
csc detachment was practically ami
hilated. Now it appears the murders
were committed by Cossacks and that
the Japanese suffered while trying to
Russians General Graves would not
interfere because American operations
there are limited to the protection of
property and of the railroad.
The anti-American campaign in the
japanese press is especially lively, and
Uncle Sam is accused Of being aggres-
sive, hypocritical and selfish, presum-
ably because the Monroe doctrine
clause was included in the league of
nations convention and the equality of
nationals left out. Japan is not cutting
quite such an important figure in the
Paris negotiations as she had expected
to, and the people are rather sore as
result. But there is no fear in Off
cial circles that friendly relations will
be ruptured.

Apparently the state of affairs in

in the statement that boIshevism is in

Affairs are not. going smoothly in
Poland, and for this some blame may
be attached to the. policy of the peace
delegates in yielding to Germany in
the matter of Danzig. Though Cen
eral Haller's divisions already have
begun their movement through Ger
many to Poland, the Paderewski gov
eminent has lost prestige, for the peo-
pie fear that the seaport they so much
desire will not be awarded them by
the treaty, and even may not be inter-
nationallzed. There is almost continu-
Gus fighting on the borders of the
Posen district and it has spread to the
East Prussian frontier. Haller's troops
are passing through Germany at the
rate Of three trainloads day, and
each train is accompanied by allied
officers and guards. The utmost pre-
cautions are taken to prevent conflicts
with the German populace.

All discussion of the treaty, outside
the peace congress, is based on unotti-
cial reports, for the allied delegates
decided that it would be foolish, if not
dangerous, to reveal the terms Of the
treaty before it was submitted to the
Germans. The public, or considerable
parts of it, in England, France and,
to a less extent, America, objected
strenuously to this policy by which
the German national assembly would
get the treaty before the rest of the
world; but it was sustained by the
French chamber of deputies by vote
of 334 to 166, and it was vigorously de-
Tended by Premier Lloyd George in
his speech in the house of commons.
The British leader argued that if the
terms were made public now there
would of necessity be much spoken
and written criticism of them, since
it was hopeless to satisfy everyone,
and that those criticisms, reprinted in
Germany, would give the enemy the
false idea that the terms were object
ed to by the British public as too
harsh, which would encourage the
Germans to refuse to sign the treaty.

Lloyd Georges speech was declared
to be one of the most eloquent and
sensational ever heard in the house of
commons. Primarily, he arose to de-
fend himself against the attacks of his
critics, and he not only did that, but
hurled defiance at those critics. He
declared that his prediction pledges
of exacting full payment from Ger
many and furnishing the former kaiser
and other guilty Huns were to be
kept; that the peace commissioners
wanted peace that was just and
sternly severe but not vindictive; that
military intervention in Russia would
be great blunder, but that the asso-
ciated nations would be ready to stop

Giants Divide
Double Header
With Braves
Barnes Pitches McCraw Men
to Victory in First; Hub
bell, a Recruit, Loses

BOSTON, Sept. 24.-The Giants split
even in double header this afternoon
which inaugurated New Yorks last
stand of the season against the Braves.
Jess Barnes outptched the relay of
Rudolph and Demaree in the first en-
gagement, and landed 6 to ! victory
William Hubbell, twirling his first
game as member Of McGraw's club,
was beaten by score Of 3 to in ten
innings in the second section of the
twin bill.
The first game was an old-fashioned
slugging match, with Boston prnci-
pally on the receiving end. New York
amassed a total of sixteen safe blows
for twenty-one bases and a half dozen
runs. Barnes was found for ten safe
ties, so far as that goes. But it
seemed to be a case of his letting down
in spots. He was very effective in the
pinches.
The second game was an altogether
different sort of thing. 1t was full of
fight and thrills Fillingim, who op-
posed young uubbell, was far the
steadier of the two. He was invincible
after the first inning. He got off badly,
however, and somewhat daring play
on the part of Frisch, together with
"boner" by Holke, spotted the visitors
to their brace of tallies.
Two of the Giants five bingles were
punched successfully in this initial in
ming. Burns opened the game with
single. Young walked. Frisch beat a
bunt, filling the bases, with none out.
Doyle tapped to the box, forcing Burns
at the plate. But when Cooney rolled
to Holke, the latter evidently forgot
about the bases being filled. He ran to
first to head off the batter, and while
he was doing this Frisch sprinted home
behind Young on the infeld out 1t was
we'll he did so, for Statz famed.
The Braves were unable to score un-
til the fifth. Here Filingim, Pick and
Powell punched hits for one run The
Braves tied it in the sixth Holke, hit
by pitch, advanced on Boeckels sac
rifce and scored on Wilson's single to
left
1t was another hit batsman that cost
Hubbell so dearly in the tenth. With
one out, he nicked Powell Holke |
scratched an infield single. Boeckel /

SLIM SALLEE
By Raw McCarthv

Slim Sal they call him, and a header
pitcher is hard to find. Sallee refused
to turn out this year when the call
was issued. He said he was through
with the game. Pleadings and coaxings
OF Manager McGraw availed nothing.
Sal was steadfast in his determination
to quit. Pat Moran horns into the play.
As manager Of the downtrodden Reds
Pat requested permission to negotiate
with Slim Sal, whose full name is
Harry F. Sallee. McGraw agreed.
Pat must have confidently told Sallee
that he was the greatest pitcher in the
game, that the Reds were going to go
over the top in the biggest year of
baseball, and that Sal was down to play
a leading part in these proceedings.
Pats blarney won Sal over and he left
the plough and farm to join the Wild
men.
In his nine years of major league
baseball Sallee was noted for his stead
mess and readiness on the mound He
twlrled successfully for the ST. Louis
Cardinals for nine years, and for the
Giants two seasons. But the attenuated
portside finger never displayed the
control he has shown under Pat Moran.
Only the other day he pitched but sixty
five balls in game against the
Dodgers. The Sox beat Sallec in 1917,
but Lanky Harry is a cagey bird, and
who knows but that he may avcnge
himself this year.
Sallee was born in Higginsport, Ohio,
in 1885. He first pitched for Meriden
IN the Cotton States League, then with
Birmingham, Williamsport, the Cards
and the Giants respectively. Yes. Sal
lee is married.

Texas Lacquer over short and got sec

out, Quinn purposely passed Babe
Ruth. Schang also got base on balls
and the stage was all set for McInns's

was without Senatorial courtesy.
In the second inning Peckinpaugh
