PELS GAINING IN
 RACE FOR PENNANT

There's no way out of it, the Pels are gaining in the race for the Southern League gonfnIon. The Birds won yesterday, while the Travellers were breaking even in a double-beader and the Barons were held idle by pOstpOnement.
 Everything looks favorable for the Pels now. The pitching staff seems to he getting back into con dition. Torkelson is working splen- didly. Phillips is doing better than holding his own, and Barfoot seems to be rounding back into condi- ton. In addition. the Chicks have given the PeIs another mOundsman in trading Gil Meyers and Dazzy Vance for Catcher DOwie.
 However. if the Barons can get back into the running the Peis will not find the path sS rosy. Contin- uaI rains the past week or so have proven fatal for the Bnrons, caus- ing several postpOnements.

WHY BABE RUTH
 QUIT PITCHING

We always had an idea that the reason Babe" Ruth quit pitching was that he got to hitting too many home runs, but , Bill Brennan is authority for the story that before Babe" got on his home-run rampage last season he had abandoned the idea of pitching as a regular occu-
 patton because of weak knee-the same knee that was injured when he slid into second base the other day According to Bill. the home run star could not, without risk of permanent in- jury, put large part of his we%rv on his knee as he would have to do in pitch ing.

curity of life and property may be said to prevail in Haiti.
 The Haitien people welcomed the coming of our men and are unwilling to have them depart.
 The establishment and maintenance of tranquil conditions, and then of se- curity of life and property all over Haiti has been an arduous and dan gerous and thankless task. That task our marines have performed with fi- delity and gallantry.
 The court cannot refrain from re- cording its opinion of much, and that the most serious part, of the reflec- tions which have been made upon the officers
 The outstanding characteristic of those officers has been their sympa- thetic attitude toward every step that would lead to a betterment of the country and to improvement in the physical, mental and moral condi- tions of the population
 With slender resources and made quate administrative authority they have accomplished much, where any thing more than suppression of or ganized insurrection seemed impossi- ble.
 After a careful study of the matters the court regards the published charges as i'll considered, regrettable and thoroughly unwarranted reflec- uons on a portion of the United States marine corps.

MORE GOODS NEEDED
 FUR RED CROSS SHOP

There is one business concern in Phoenix that has more customers than stock.
 If it could keep up its stock of cloth ing, mems, women's and children's, it would do a land office business.
 If it could meet the demands, it would be able to reduce the high cost of living of hundreds of families in the city.
 If it had the goods" the sales would add to the fund that is being used ex- clusively for the families being cared for by the service section of the Red Cross. for the Associated Charities and for other organized charities.
 It was announced at the Red Cross Shop, Fourth and Jefferson streets, yesterday, that while calls for cloth ing without number were being re- ceived. the shop is feeling the want of supplies. A plea was made to those of the city who no longer have use for clothing to contribute it to the Red Cross Shop, a telephone call, 1915, bringing a Red Cross member to your home who will be glad to deliver the bundle.

 TO THE PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-William Denman, first chairman of the shipping board, made public tonight cablegram he has addressed to Arthur J. Balfour at the British foreign office to "dispel' the belief that he, as head of the Brit ish war mission, had informed the president and other American officials in 1917 of the existence of secret al lied treaties relating to Shantung and other matters.
 In statement Mir Denman said he had sought permission to make pub lie his own knowledge on the subject as one of the officials who conferred with the British mission.
 If MT. Balfour will deny that he made the alleged disclosures" he added Tt will not be necessary for me to procure the desired permission"
 The message to MT. Balfour after re- ferring to press articles from London said:
 'Tt is attributed to you that you stated that you informed the president and our conferees in 1917 of the exist ence of the secret treaties affecting Shantung, the German ships in China the division of the islands of the south and north Pacific, and the coercion oi China into the war.
 This statement is generally believed in America to have been made by you and so far as I am informed it has not been denied by you. Will you kind ly dispel this American belief concern ing your alleged disclosure 70 us ol the secret treaties by stating your memory of what there transpired?"
 In his statement MT. Denman said there was sharp conflict between the public statements of the president and Secretary Lansing on the one hand and Mir Balfour on the other hand"
