JOHNSON GETSREST
AFTER MOUND FEAT
By ED BANG.

CLEVELAND, May. 15.-When Wal
ter Johnson pitched two-hit and
three men-reach- first ball against the
New York Yankees last Sunday
twelve innings OF superb pitching, he
never looked better in all the years
he has been hurting in the American
League, and you'll recall that King
Walter has been at it year in and
year out since 1907. We have the
word of Bill Dineen and Brick
Owens. umpiring in the present series
here, for that.
They both aver they never saw. a
better exhibition of pitching than
Walter showed, and say it was q
downright shame that the Griffmen
couldn't reward him with the sem
blance of a run. That game earned
Johnson a rest Of longer duration
than he generally enjoys, for Manager
Griffith says that he will hold Walter
back until tomorrOw's game with the
Indians. Harry Harper will be trotted
out today. Enzmann or Phillips will
pitch for Cleveland.

WE ARE BECOMING A NATION
TEA TOPERS

The National City Bank Of New York
has made SPECIAL investigation for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the con-
sumption of tea was increasing or dimin-
ishing. The result was the discovery that
tea drinking is increasing in the United
States at an alarmingly rapid rate. Be-
tween 1909 and 1918 the annual consump-
ton Of tea rose from 115,000,000 to l5l,-
100000 lbs, an increase of three and one
half per cent per annum, or 100000 lbs.
Estimating the average individual COLI
sumption of tea drinkers to be two-fifths
Of an ounce per diem, the total number of
tea drinkers in the United States is about
l6,000,0 900, an army Of drug eddicts whose
nunber is increased annually by the addi-
ton OF 425,000 new recruits
Search for the cause Of this surprising
ly rapid increase of tea drinkers has led
TO the discovery that the increase OF tea
drinking has paralleled the decrease in
Tie use OF alcoholic liquors. 1t appears,
indeed that the American people are ex-
changing alcohol for tea. The question
at once arises, Will the nation gain or
lose by swapping rum drinking for tea
tipping?
OF course the answer must depend up
on the amount consumed in both cases.
A little tea would of course be less DAM
aging than much alcohol. On the other
hand, little alcohol would be less harm
full than much tea. In equal quantities,
tea is decidedly worse than beer. The
amount of poison in pint of strong tea
is greater than in an equal amount of
beer, not by weight, but in physiologic
effect. A man could drink without show
ing evidence of intoxication more pints
OF beer than of strong tea.
We shall not be satisfied to trade off
whisky intemperance for tea tippling.
Drug addictions of all sorts is to be
frowned upon and suppressed. A tea
dfunkard is nervous wreck-neuras-
thenic, unsettled, depressed, sleepless, in
efficient and haunted by morbid fears.
China, with the aid of the American
Tobacco Company, has exchanged the
opium pipe for the cigarette. The great
er eminence of the cigarette compared
with the pipe and the vigorous propa-
ganda Of the selling agents, have fasten-
ed the cigarette habit upon "a greater
number of persons than ever were addict
ed TO the use of opium.
English bayonets helped to establish
the opium habit in China. America has
given China the cigarette just as she was
rising and shaking herself free from slav-
cry to the Indian poppy. And China may
yet even up the scales by making ma
tion OF tea tipplers
When King Alcohol is finally dethron-
ed we shall have to begin another CAM
paign against tobacco and tea and coffee,
so tht we may be free from drug addic-
ton Of all kinds.-Good Health.

A VOLUNTEER COMPLAINS

When the United States first entered
the war the government relied upon the
volunteer system for raising an army of
American fighters. Under this system,
many husbands and fathers entered the
fighting ranks, when clearly there were
others who could better afford the sac
rifices demanded. CONSUMPTION succeeds
ed this system and more consideration
was given the. children and wives who
would be deprived of support.
That much is ancient history and few
if any complaints were registered by the
men who volunteered their services. But
the war is over now and Rehabilitation
has set in, with the result that some of
these volunteers, who are still held Iii the
service, are asking some pertinent Fles-
tions. We have a letter from soldier
in Texas who is in search of enlighten-
ment as to the course pursued in de,nobll-
iZation.
He wants to know why it is thai the
men who enlisted before the passage Of
the CONSUMPTION act cannot get diScharg-
es. He declares that little heed is given
the plea of some of these men to the eff
feet that their wives and children are IN
need of their support.
"Has the United States forgotten
now that the war is over-that tk:rt
were thousands of husbands, fathers a. d
brothers with dependents who emit ,ted
to make the world a safe place to live
he asks.
"While thousands of young men With
no one dependent upon them have been
returned to their home towns, the vol
unteer soldiers with homes, wives and
children to protect are held. Does this
seem just? While we were willing TO
fight for the women and children of Eur
ope, do you suppose we forgot our own?
If the American sense of justice says,,
| You men and boys who enlisted to fighg
| for freedom, right and justice are not to
be considered until after your depend
ents have suffered more hardships,' let
us know so we may be content to the end.
| We volunteers need some consideration.
| We went to war without much demon
| stration and we do not care for any when
| we return, but we do want to feel that
we are treated justly after we have done
| our duty"
The soldier, whose name is withheld
| for obvious reasons, state a situation
which cannot be ignored. 1t is to be met
by the army officials and the American
| people, if not now, at some future date
If he states a general situation, it conf
mands immediate attention, because we
have already witnessed the release OF

Republican. If he won On the Republican
ticket he would have been the Republic
can nominee as well as the Democratic.
He would not declare before the result
whether he was Republican or Demo
crat.
After the primary election, if he ha6
been nominated both as a Democrat ard
as a Republican, he would have been OBJ
liged to declare his political utilization.
He had no opposition at the Democratic
primary that needed any consideration.
The only contest the primaries gave him
on either ticket was that which Comman-
der Newberry successfully gave him for
the Republican nomination. Newberry
beat him because the Republicans of
Michigan would not stand for the partic-
ular kind of double crossing which was
being worked in the primary and because
they preferred man whose family was
out Of it. And, moreover, then wanted
a Republican as Republican candidate
and not man who didn't know whether
he was Republican or Democrat and
couldn't remember the last time he voted.
Now, if Mr. Ford had been successful
in getting the Republican nomination as
well as the Democratic, what, as the Re-
publican publicity committee, inquired,
would have happened? Mr. Ford would
have elected to run as Republican. That
would have left a vacancy on the Demo-
cratic ticket. And the Democratic organ
ization in Michigan, thoroughly controll-
ed by the Ford influences and interests,
would not have filled the vacancy There
would have been no Democratic candi-
date. Mr.. Ford would have been, elected
United States senator in the state of
Michigan without the process of an.elec-
ton.
Mr.. Ford's wealth and industrial con-
nections, financial connections, and his
relationship to the people in the state of
Michigan hake him a tremendously inn
portant man. The ramifications of his
business, and money, and industry reach
very large percentage Of the voters of
Michigan, and his influence is tremend-
Gus. 1t was to have been exerted in this
instance to the complete notification of
the electoral privileges of the people of
the state of Michigan, and this nullifica-
ton would have been sanctioned by a
man who began his candidacy with the
statement that he would not lift finger
or spend cent to be elected senator by
the state of Michigan.
If successful, Mr.. Ford's plan would
have defeated the principles of American
vernment-Chicago Tribune.

Henry Fcrd was quoted in Los Angeles
recently as saying that he would spend

to produce considerable noise, but that it

We have been told that Great Britain
has accepted the fourteen points, one of

VIVID DESCRIPTION
OF GALLIPOLI FTGHHT

Poet and soldier Tom Skeyhill OF
Australia promised the people some
thing startling and vivid Saturday
night and he gave it to them in
wonderful description of the fight
ing at Gallipoli which eventually
proved so disastrous to the allies
and caused them at last to relin-
Qu;sh the peninsular, when the Ger
mans began to succeed on the We'd
tern front and Lord Kitchener stat
ed that all the troops were needed
there to stem the. tide of the adj
vance of the Hun.
The terrible charges, the depri-
vatiOn, the loss of men, the at
tempts to fool the Turks in an ef-
fort to get away must be heard to
be appreciated.
At the close of his description of
the battle Mr.. Skeyhill touched up
on the seeming race between Amer
lea and England IN the building of
a great navy by comparing the cost
in America and in England. He said
that England's navy was her life on
account of her colonies while Amer
lea could get along without a very
large one. He stated that 1t cost
one-fifth in England to build ships
what It does in America. He and
Sergeant Sinclair expect to tour the
eastern part Of the state.
