 Position.
 New York, Feb. 19.--Miller Hug gins will be in town to start q quick round-up of his players for the train- ing trip to Jacksonville, only eight days away. The center field situation. which has been troubling Huggins all winter, cases mp @ bit in view Of in tclligcncc that Walter Fipp, who played in Cuba this winter, brings to his manager.
 Pipp saw Armando MarSunS in la Nana, and tho latter declared he was in excellent condition and willing to play baseball again. In 1917 Marsans broke his leg with the Yanks. He played part of the following season, quit in mid d-season and went home to Cuba, and hasn't played major league ball since
 Marsaps when at the top of his game was a fine out1ielder, ;l fair hit 'ter--a good one, in fact, at one time and one of the fastest men in the game. If he retains a fair share of his speed he will bring to the Yam krcs what they greatly need. He will strengthen them defensively. too, it he can still cover ground in the ouiticld as he used to.
 Hug in all probability will get into communication with the Cuban. The formali:y or reinstatement would have to be gone through in Marsans case but it is d mere tormality. Every ball player who has taken French leave has l'crn reinstated.

ENTENTE REPLIES
TO WILSON NOTE
SUPREME COUNCIL HANDS AN.
SWER IN ADRlATIc AFFAIR
TO EMBASSY.

London.-The american embassy is
engaged in cooling and forwarding tc
washington the reply of the Supreme
council to President Wilson's AdriatiC
note, which it is hoped will be in the
hands of the Washington government
Soon
The council made it known in its
daily semi-official communication to
the newspapers that it does not pro.
pose to make public the correspond
ence, so that the question of whether
the text of the note will be given To
the world rests with President Will
son.
Since the main facts are public
property, namely, that the president
strongly objects to the solution OF
the Italian-Jugo-Slav problem by the
application of the treaty of London
thereto and objects so strongly as t.
contemplate Americas withdrawal
from the Versailles compact as a pcs
sibility, and that the council objects
to the reopening of the question, the
undecided point is whether the argu.
ments exchanged shall be published
while the controversy is hot on the
anvil.
The statement from Washington
confirming the first reports that tn
president had minated that reje,
ton of lis policy might be followed
by diplomatic reprisals furnished an.
other surprise to the politicians and
the public, who, outside small but
important circle which meets twice
daily in Downing street, and the ad-
visers in the confidence of this group.
experienced the greater surprise be-
cause it came close on the heels of
other Washington messages, intimat-
ing that only American retirement
from its part in the policing of the
Adriatic was intended.
The council issued an emphatic de-
NAL of French newspaper reports that
it was persuaded to modify the first
draft of the note to President Will
son by Intervention of Viscount Grey,
Lord Robert Cecil and AUSTEN Cham
berlain, chancellor of the exchequer.
The susceptibilities of the non-British
members Of the council formed one
of the factors behind this denial, be-
cause the story was calculated to give
the impression on the continent that
the British were dominating the con-
ference.
The feeling at Italian headquarters
in London with respect to the presi-
dents action is strong. Unofficially,
1t is spoken of as an attack upon
Italy, and his memorandum is describ
ed as an ultimatum.

GOMPERS OPPOSES
LABOR PARTY PLAN
SAYS SUCCESS MUST BE WON
THROUGH THE OLD Or
CARNATIONS.
WILL FIGHT INJUNCTION
Day of Reckoning Is at Hand For
Those Opposing Cause-ChaI-
lenees Indiana Men To Prove
Federation Impractical.

Washington. - Samuel Gompers
president of the American Federation
of Labor directed a whitening blast at
the movement to organize an indie
pendent labor party, whose candi-
dates, he says, would be doomed TO
failure and whose appearance in the
presidential and congressional cleo
ton campaign would serve Ito defeat
our friends and to elect our enemies
The federation president is intent
ly pursuing his plan to defeat anti
labor candidates for Congress in both
parties, and political developments Of
the first magnitude are expected when
Mr. Gompers goes before the Republi-
can and Democratic conventions seek
ing the endorsement of his labor plat
form planks.
Mr.. Gompers is particularly intent
upon obtaining a plank in each plat
form declaring against the use of the
injunction process against strikes.
row over this is expected in the Dem
ocratic convention, which could not
dept such a plan without repudiat-
ing the Wilson administration advo-
cation of the Injunction process to
break the coal miners strike.
The attack of the federation's chief
upon the labor party movement was
called forth by a telegram from Will
liam Mitchell of Terre Haute, Ind,
representing the Indiana State Labor
Party, opposing the political program
of the federation, pronouncing it i'm
practical and absolutely unsuccessful
and declaring that only labor party
can adequately protect the interests
of the workers.
Mr.. Gompers challenged the India
ma men to prove that the federation
has been impractical and unsuccess-
full, inquired on what experience they
could base the claim for greater sue
cess by labor party, and added:
"Of this one thing you may rest
assured, that the day of reckoning is
at hand for all of those who are in
antagonism to the cause of labor, and
for those who are subtle and equally
guilty, even though they clothe their
actions in the robes of pretended
friendship.

|SOLONS DEPL0RE
DELAY Of PEACE
BOTH SIDES PROFESS A DESIRE
FOR COMPROMISE BUT THE
DEADLOCK REMAINS.
DEBATE BEGAN A YEAR AGO
Party Leaders Expect To See the
Treaty Made An Issue in the
Campaign-G. o. P. Is
Obstinate.

Washington. - The question of par.
~ responsibility for the peace treaty
deadlock was threshed over in mill
tant fashion on the Senate floor, with
both the Republicans ond Democrats
seeking to wash their hands of the
Senate's failure to act and of any con-
sequences in the political campaign.
Although both sides professed an
earnest desire to compromise, and
sQuabbled for the credit for past
compromise efforts, there was a note
OF hopelessness in the statement Of
the treaty's irreconsiliable opponents
that party leaders said they might as
well put the question of ratification
out of their minds and turn their at
tention to legislation.
The debate brought out a disagree
ment as to which side originated the
bipartisan conference in which five
Democrats and four Republicans
sought to work out an agreement.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, tn
Democratic leader, started the fiareup
by denying that the Democrats want
ed the treaty in the campaign. He
said his party had gone "nine-tenths
of the way" to a compromise and that
the Republicans had stood solidly for
acceptance of their own reservations
without the dotting of an Il or the
crossing of IT."
1t was the minority, he said, who
had instigated the bipartisan move
ment and who now had submitted
two compromise Article 10 reserva-
lions which many Republican sena-
tors believed were identical in sub
stance with the Lodge reservation on
that subject.
Claiming credit for the Republicans
in originating the bipartisan confer
ence, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin,
one of the mild reservation Republi-
cans, charged that Senator Hitch
cock had stood out against compro-
msie so determinedly that the Re
publicans were driven to agree on
the best compromise they could
among themselves.
Senator Borah, Republican of Ida
no, speaking for the irreconciliables,
said the two sides were no nearer
agreement than they were when the
League of Nations debate began a
year ago, and that further discussion
was a waste of time. The treaty, he
said, already was so far in the cam
paign that you can no more keep it
out than you can stop half way over
