THE Willy TURK

While the Germans hide and delay
and protest, the Turks are quietly
going ahead with the trial, conviction
and sentence Of the leaders respon-
sible for the Turkish conduct dur
ing the war.
Enver Pasha and two other gov
ernmental heads have been sentenc-
ed to death by the court martial.
Many lesser officials have been given
long prison terms at hard labor.
The Turk is a willy person. I'm.
doubtedly the present Turkish gov
ernment understands fully that at
tending to the punishment of the
guilty is one of the steps most like
ly TO win favorable consideration
from the allied powers. Also the
Turkish people do not relish having
been led astray. Whether they ap-
preciate the moral quality involved
might be a question. but they do
know that they are in bad way and
that their leaders are responsible.
For that reason, If no other, they
punish the leaders.
Whatever the motive which has
led Turkey to take matters into her
own hands, the result is good
thing. A thousand complications are
avoided. the way is cleared for the
new regime, and future persons as
piring to leadership in the land OF
the crescent will think carefully be-
fore determining in which direction
to lead their people.
A little of the same saving COM
mon sense on the part of the Ger
mans would go far toward re-estab-
fishing that people in the eyes of
the world.

Ashland decided to take the game.
She came down here well supplied
with material and began by taking
one run and shutting out Grants

two and a shut-out In the second.
then one and another shut-out In
the third inning.
The fourth and nth innings re-
suited in goose eggs for both sides,
but oh. how Ashland blew up in the
sixth when Grants Pass on three hits.
one sacrifice and four errors put the
game on the shelf. and Piano Legs"
Pernoll took the hump and shuotont
Ashland one, two. three.
The big league exhibition of pitch
ing occurred in the eighth when Per
noll delivered only nine balls in the
entire inning. eight Of which were
famed at the ninth being an easy
grOunder to himself which ended the
inning. During the three innings
pitched by Pernoll only two men got
on first base. hut they were put out
on account of going to bed. II was
the best game OF the entire season
played on the home grounds.
Wilson, OF the y. of o.. who pitch
ed for Ashland, allowed eight hits.
while Ashland got six hits from
Cornell and only one from Pernoll.
The weather was hot and there was
only IA small crowd present. The
score stood, Grants Pass I. Ashland
4. Hits, Grants Pass 3, Ashland I.
Ashland promises another game
within the next few weeks. They
voiced their intention OF continuing
to try until they have shown Grants
Pass that she can be beaten. It is
evident that It Is Ashland's inten-
tion to win game from Grants
Pass or break their necks in the
effort, therefore the next game be-
tween these two teams will be the
best Of the season.
