 But the verdict of this grand jury was not "whitewashing' of the game. It was d true bill. It was no more than all interested understand ingly in the game expeced. Baseball is clean. It could not have survived and held public interest for so long had it not been so. The officials at the head of the organization have nothing to gain by permitting crookedness, and they have everything to lose. This, entirely aside from the fact that the said officials are as d rule men above crookedness.
 Moreover baseball has a sentimental characteristic that will keep it clean always. Ii is tho game of our youth: it's heroes are our heroes. When one falls there are boyish tears even in the eyes of the old.
 Possibly the lesson taught will have its value. Caesars wife must be above suspicion" So must baseball further it must Ec-e5ove the suspicion of suspision it will be.

have political influence to become an ambassador or minister. The direct road to an appointment is to work along party lines and special training is not n prerequisite. The United States Is not especially to blame for not having large field to pick from.
 In times past the Diplomatic Corps has been used often as a haven for deserving politicians because not enough importance has been attached United States by the representatives sent from here. A good representative is the best propaganda possible.
 Many people have reasoned that tho United States does not have to go outside of n certain circle of internal affairs We have representatives out side of that circle for each one repre- rents q possible penetration which means an internal dispute. The Mon- roe Doctrine is step outside the cir cle and it hass been used in the checks and balances of European ponies.
 AS young Americans. we are not taught that fact: we are not trained to be diplomats in the bud. and con- sequcntly we become embarrassed when we are called upon to play part in international affairs.
 With our wealth we can have diplomatic school. the graduates of which would be recognized by those who have power of appointment. ana our diplomatic corps would be strong CT.
 As an example: What if Benjamin Franklin had not been a diplomatic genius? France would have been given aid to the colonies as soon as she did, and where would the United States have been? The United Sates can not afford to depend on luck for her diplomats: they must he a trained and trained along diplomatic lines.

BAUER RECITAL IS ENJOYED BY MANY
Great Artist Shows. Wonderful
 Technique and Ability

Harold Bauer, pianist, drew d large audience of music-lovers to Fox's theater yesterday afternoon. He was presented to New Britain people by the New Britain Musical Club as one of the two celebrated artists it will bring to this city this seMon
 MT. Bauer's performance was re- ceved with enthusiasm. His technique and ability to accentuate the inner voices of the works he interpreted produced prolonged applause. The first number on the program, the whole Of which has been previously published, has been transcribed from the harpsichord by MT. Bauer. and this "Partita in B flat, by Bach" as so transcribed has not yet been pub lished.
 MT Bauer's perfection of execution and manner of expressing his sympa- thetic understanding of the works was in evidence in every number of the program which combined the popular classic music with that of most modern invention and that of greatest depth. But in his playing of the last number, "Etude en form de Valse," the artist displayed his highest ability. The en- core "Scherzo in F. Minor," by Men delssohn, was an echo of all that is best in the music of the piano.
 The audience was intellectually and musically representative. The boxes were occupied, among others, by Mrs c. H. Landers, J. B. Talcott, Arthur kimban, Mrs. J. A. Traut, G. l.. Pierce, Mrs. Emile Andzulatis and Theron Hart. Many of MT. Bauer's admirers from Hartford were in attendance.

NAVY IGNORES COAL FAMINE.
Will Make Cruises Over Protest of
 Representatives.


 Representatives.
 Washington, Nov. S.-Secretary of the Navy Daniels will not call off the proposed extended cruises of the At lantic and Pacific fleets after the joint manoeuvres next spring. The fact that Representative Blanton of Texas (dem.) and few others have raised the cry that these cruises would re- suit in needless waste of fuel does not appeal to MT. Daniels. MT. Daniels said last night that Congress- already has appropriated funds to pay the fuel bills of the navy. Estimate for fuel requirements were made with these cruisers in mind, he said.
 The position of MT. Daniels is that the expense of maintaining an idle navy would be greater than if cruises are scheduled. Officers of high rank believe the famous round-the-w world cruise staged by Roosevelt was a big help to the navy.

HAROLD BAUER.

l "ho Ioduei pianist at Fox's Theater yes terday realized fully. some of them for the first time perhaps. the re- sonant quality of the singing tones that can be produced from that in- strument. Also the thunder-clap was there. followed by it's rumblings. pro- duced through no repetition of action by the artist. but echoing deep after the peal that had thrilled.
 Harold Bauer came to New Britain as the first of two artists of the highest rcnown presented and to he presented by the New Britain Musical Club. Nodest of manner. compaa&ti'c- ly free from the affectation of some of tho other great artists. with a tcchniqus perfection itself but holding httie Of the dramatic. he filled tho theatcr with such understanding In- Appropriations of, the works of music hands the piano assumed he magni- tude of perfectly aatuned orchestri. whose members shaded the harmonics of the music in almost weird accord with tho sensitive feeling of him whose creation it was.
 The New Britain Musical Club is to be congratulated on making it pos stblc for music lovers. whether music experts or not, to hear a pianist who stands at the head of his profession. NIffh h., Hoffman he leads those who play at this time. He is worthy successor to faderewski who, it is presumed, will never again be able to take his pIac, ! at the top, although the humanizing experiences through which the great pianist has passed while the war was ! in progress will dctract only from his 1 ability to execute, not at all from the | intensity of his musical feeling.
 And apropos 1t is worth noting that 7 the Now Britain Musical Club is one of the organizations that gives an | cnFiahle stamp to city. Its plan of l br.aging musical artists of the very i first rank to New Britain. which has l long been unplaced on the musical
 map, also brings great commendation. It's plans for holding. in addition, eight | concerts hy the best of the Citv's local talent. where members and as-
 soctatc members are able to hear | music far above that furnished at
 many professional entertainments,
 and their two free concerts for tho 1, general public. make the activities of tho club of individual interest to all
 who recognize the advantage of un- 1 derstanding and enjoying good music
 It's two lectures given each season by
 masters in music on musical topi ,s | and history are of great interest to
 those who look beyond the note cover
 ed manuscript and who would like
 to knowwhence they. the great ones | came and what was the inspiration
 that produced them.
 The twelve entertainments in all
 given by the New Britain Musical | Club in the seven months of it's ac-
 tivities in the year mean an oppor-
 tunity for a more general understand
 Ing and enjoyment of good music;
 a more profound comprehension of it's
 origin and purpose. and bringing into the lives of all who care tc
 broaden themselves the opportunity
 to satisfy that desire.
