'MAGNATES HOPE ID
 HAVE STARS BACK
Players Now in Army May Be Released by Time to
 Practice

Major leaue magnates are still count ing upon obtaining releases for players in the service early enough for those men to take part in the baseball cam paign, writes Tom Rice. The argument is that organized baseball is, to quite a large degree, a quasi-public institu- tiop. It has been so recognized-rather unofficially-by good many courts, which have granted special concessions to ball clubs or players in the matter of <setting dates for trials so that the regular schedules would not be inter- ferred with Baseball has also been recognized more or less officially by the military authorities.
 Still another angle is that the amuse- ment tax will be very much Tn force this year. Increased attendance. due to raising the standard of play by letting fhe teams have their desired perform CTS, will mean direct addition to Un- cle Sams income, as every ticket ana pass, except those of the working news paper men, pays it's percentage to the government The more tickets, the more percentage-and that makes a noise like unto reasonable argumen for early release for the athletes The slump in attendance last year and the consequent slump in the tax returns as to the quality OI pldy uCSi Se--'SN with the calling of athletes to the army, told it's own story
 Recently the army authorities have issued two orders that might bear on the subject One gives a man whose unit is discharged the right to remain in the service at his old rating until he has definitely landed a job. That IS the most important change yet made in the demobilzation scheme, and its ob- jest is to prevent men being turned loose, wiIly-nilly, without means Of support ahead. The other order is that men who can prove exceptionally urg- ent necessity at home will be released ahead of their units. These changes are taken to mean that the hard and fast rules are being relaxed in the in terests of civil conditions. If that be the case it is possible that ball players who are in the army of occupation or elsewhere abroad, may be granted a special dispensation when they show the authorities the contracts Which have been offered them.
 On the other hand, many experts who have studied the military situation be- Iieye that no experienced soldier who is in the army of occupation will be re- leased until his unit is ordered home, which may not be until six months have passed.

NOT ORDINARY FINANCING

Of itself the exchange of short-time notes for securities which will have a long time to run and which will bear a tempting rate of interest is no more than ordinary although very large piece of financing. But associated with it are some features which should be under stood, especially at this time when stu pendous financing of various kinds is under way.
 In the first place the marketing in the United States of very large block of British government securities which have a long time to run Illustrates the changed relations. or some of them, which have been occasioned by the war. For presumably these securities will remain permanently in the United States. That will be shifting of positions when comparison is made with the market which was found in Great Britain at the time of the Civil war and later for the bonds of the United States.

MORGAN'S LATEST
 MISSION TO EUROPE
By HOLLAND

New York, February 26.-(Special.) When J. P. Morgan sailed few weeks ago for Europe he said to friend that the excursion was to be the first one across the sea which he has been able to take for two years. He was looking for rest and recreation. Nevertheless the impression was strong that he would find opportunity between rest and recreation to come in touch with the leading financial authorities of Lon- don and, perhape, of Paris. That sur mise is proved to have been correct. A considerable number of the partners of the house of J. P. Morgan X Go. have been at the same time in Europe, although one of them, Mir. Davison, has been exclusively occupied with the Red Cross work. He hopes to set on foot measures by means of which the Red Cross organization will be thoroughly internationalized and established in all parts of the world Mir, Stettinius has been occupied for sometime in Paris with important matters and Mir. Mor- row returned few weeks ago from a long sojourn in Europe. being occupied with some special work. MT. Lamont is now in Paris.
 Mr. Morgan and MT. Lamont met in London, and seem to have accomplished d Wofk Whicn may De OI HnoIneutous
 consequence to the United States. They
 are reported to have perfected nego-
 tiations with the British authorities
 which will enable them to continue the
 great financing involved in the con-
 version of British short-time notes Into
 longtime securities. Already they have partially perfected this conversion,
 applying it to the notes which became
 due few weeks ago. There still re-
 main some of these notes which will probably sooner or later be converted into long time securities.
 Very likely MT. Morgan will make no other explanation of this negotiation than by the announcement that he, with others in the United States is now pre- pared to undertake the conversion of British short-time notes into securities which will have long time to run. He does not need to make any other ex- pla nation. These securities will be as much part of the government obliga- tions of Great Britain as are the con so1s. They may not have as perma- nent life as the consols do but their | life will continue well into the next generation in all probability.

has passed since the United States un- dertook to make a market for a large block of English consols. The amount is understood to have been s10,000.0oo. This was very small in comparison with later financing so far as the amount of money involved is concerned but it actually contains the same prin- ciple as the one which lies at the bot tom of MT. Morgan's negotiations with the authorities of Great Britain for the conversion of British shert-time notes into longtime bonds.
 JAMES STILLMAN'S LEADERSHIP
 Soon after the close of the Boer war James Stillman, president of the Ma tional City bank at that time, spent some weeks in London so that he might get a good view of the financial. situa- tion in England and in the United States. Upon his return to New York he said that financial conditions throughout the world and especially in the United States would not be- come normal until England had found the way to finance the great war debt incurred by it in the South African war. England did find the way and the event was as MT. Stillman predicted. He attributed >the so-called rich mans panic in this country which followed the close of the Boer war in consid- erable measure to the unsettled fnan- cial condition.
 Mir. Stillman did more than merely to comment upon the situation. He was persuaded that it would be of no avail both to the United States and to Great Britain if there were marketed in this country a large amount of English consols. He actually caused con signment of 10.000,00o of these consols to be sent to the United States. He knew that the rate of interest was such as to make it impracticabie to
