WarGke Attitude Of
American League Club
Owners Threatening

New York, Dec. 9.-The dove Of
peace probably will not hover over
the annual meeting of the American
league Wednesday when the two
rival factions meet Hopes for a
peaceful meeting were dashed after
a conference between representa-
tives of the two sides broke up. Ne
gotiations ended when Charles Co.
mlskey, president of the Chicago
club, who met Frank Navin, head of
the Detroit club, accused the FIVE
clubs loyal to President Johnson OF
intending to railroad through" leg
,slation favorable to the league pres
ident.
Charges that the talk of peace by
President Johnson and the other
club owners who arrived with him
from Chicago were merely meant to
create a false atmosphere" were
made by Comiskey, Jacob Rupert
and T. L. Huston of New York and
Harry Frazee of Boston, the oppos-
ing club owners.
A statement by them issued after
the conference declared:
1T developed that the professions
Ct peace issued by Mr.. Johnson and
his cohorts on their arrival in New
York were absolutely insincere. The
five clubs constituting the majority
intend at Wednesdays meeting to
vote out the existing directorate and
vote in their own men. They will
make Navin vice president instead
Of MIR. Comiskey. In retaliation the
clubs constituting the minority will
take such measures as will demon
strate that they will not submit to
the tyranny of those who merely
register the will of this discredited
man.

public necessity and stabilizer
Proud of Record.
"Base ball has full reason to be
proud of its share in the recon
struction and in its share of furnish
ing money to the Treasury depart
ment at Washington to help pay
the price of victory. We have it on

Chicago Lightweight
Wants to Meet Drexel
Or Callahan in Omaha

The result of the recent Callahan
Drexel boxing contest at Fort
Omaha has drawn a challenge to
either of those boxers from Charlie
Skelly of Chicago. Sicily is a
legitimate lightweight and will make
1870 pounds for Callahan if weight
is demanded. An old friend of his
in Omaha declares he will post a
forfeit for Sicily if the Fort Omaha
or Council Bluffs clubs care to stage
such a match.
This fellow Sicily is a likely
youngster and would give either
Drexel or Callahan a good battle.
He is the proprietor of a billiard
room in Chicago and boxing is a
side issue with him, his business
providing the funds for the support
of himself, crippled, father and
his aged mother. He has met a
number of the good lightweights and
featherweights in the past and has
always. given a good account of
himself.

The big Mid-Winter Price Thaw
Sale is on At Millers today, and will
continue for at least week or ten
days. When the store opened this
morning there was a crowd at the
front door waiting to get in to snatch
up the many bargains that are on
sale. The bargains are great, and if a
person wants to save several dollars
on shoes, the time to buy them is now.
Don't wait until tomorrow. The shoe
you wanted tomorrow may be gone
today. Come in now. The shoes are
going fast, and there are none saved
for any person. There are many fea-
ture sales on today. Tomorrow will
see more. The sale is a big success,

MIGHT. THE NEW GOD

All the world is worshipping at the
shrine of the new god, the god OF
might.
A short two years ago the indict-
ment against Germany for her philos-
ophy of force rang from one end OF
the world to the other. President
Wilson's phrase, that summed up the
whole Allied cause against the Gen.
trail Powers, that we were fighting
German militarism, was heralded as
the beginning of new world order
Bernhardi and Treitsche with their
philosophy of might were condemned
in bitter terms.
Yet today we are witnessing the
rule of might as it has never been
practiced before. The Supreme Coun-
Gil sitting in Paris has used might to
declare a blockade on Germany and
starve her women and children; it
has made q similar blockade on Rus
sia; D'Annunzio made use of the
principle of might and seized Fiume;
all the large powers are subscribing
to the principle by building large
ornaments; the coal miners tried the
use of force to gain raise in wages,
while the government came back at
them using the same weapon in the
form Of the injunction.
For the present the principle of ar
bitration has been overthrown and
the world worships at the shrine of
the god of might. The most glaring
ILLUSTRATION of the lack of faith in
the rule Of right and justice is the
failure of the League of Nations to be
ratified the Senate and the lack of
faith that many European statesmen
have placed in the League.
