After deprecating the great amount
OF publicity given to crime and sug
gesting that newspapers pour oil on
the troubled waters of unrest by
speaking of the fine things in Ameri-

Not Going Back
There are great many people
who think we are going back to where
we were before August 1, 1914. We
are not going back there, gentlemen.
I wish to God it were possible to go
back to 1849, but we live in the year
Of grace 1920, and we are not going
back. :. 0. and you know and know
whether we close our eyes to it or
not, that 100000 men did not
agonize and suffer and die upon the
far flung lines of Flanders and
France that the world might be what
the world was.
The problem for the Associated
Press is as to whether it is to act as
mere machine or whether with the op-
portunities and the privileges the AS
sociated Press has it will assume
some Of the responsibilities for bring
ing peace and quietude and good or
der at least to America if not the
world"
The vice president counselled a.
gainst being discouraged at high pric-
es. He recalled the days after the
Confederate war when he said flour
sold for $40 barrel, quinine for $40
an ounce and calico for 80 cents a
yard.
Going to Extremes.
Lets get down from the theory"
he said, that we must either make
all the money that we can today for
tomorrow we die, or we must spend
all the money we have today for fear
there will be none tomorrow. Let us
understand that American prosperity
can not continue if the farms and fac
tories of this country are to produce
less and people are to increase and
consume more and what Is the use Of
talking about congress, or courts or
any other human instrumentality set
ting aside the plain laws of nature?"

BASEBALL LEAGUES
Federal District Judge Has Ac-
cepted Position as the Su-
preme Dictator of the National
and American Leagues-WiIl
Not Leave the Bench.
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago, Nov. 12-Federal District
Judge kennesaw Mountain Lands to-
day announced that he had accepted
the position rendered him as the SUI
American, and whatever minor base
ball leagues may join the Lasker plan
for the reorganization of baseball.
Judge Lands was chosen as the
hcairman of what was originally in
tended to be committee of three. but
after consideration. the club owners
decided to make it committee OF one,
with the noted jurist as the sole dicta-
tor of the game.
In discussing his acceptance of the
place Judge Lands stated that he
would not resign from the bench, as
he believed that the announcement of
~peace being declared between the
warning elements in the two leagues
would be realized
The indications now are that the
threatened disruption. of the two big
major leagues. and the formation of a
12-club National League. with an inde-
pendent American league, has been
averted, and that the differences exist
ing between the contending forces
will be amicably adjusted.

FRANCE AGAINST
THE ADMISSION Of
GERMANY TOLEAGUE:
poses German Admission at
the Present Time
SAYS WILL TAKE DRASTIC
ACTION If NECESSARY
Great Britain 1t is Stated, Form
meriy Favored the Admission
OF Germany, But Now Sees
the Matter in the Same Light
as France.

Paris, Nov. 12.-The French gov.
elnment is unalterably opposed to the
admission OF Germany to the League
OF Nations at this time, its was stated
at the foreign office today.
Some drastic action would he the
consequences if the league voted to
admit Germany it was plainly intimat-
cd although it was not stated what
this action would be.
The foreign Office further said that
Great Britain, which had been inclined
10 favor the German membership, now
had accepted the French view point
and was opposed to the admission.
This. it was said, would permit the
matter to rest for the present, and
that when taken up for consideration
at some other time conditions might
! be different and change OF view
point would be in order.
Tnasmuch as Germany has not ap-
piled for league membership, it is un-
likely that there VIII be any effort,
with promises OF success, to get the
assembly at Geneva. TO act favorably
on the question OF Germany's admis-
sion at this time.
The French hold that Germany must
prove her intention TO fulfill her terms
of the peace treaty and live peaceably
with her neighbors before seeking
membership. They contend that there
has not heen sufficient time for them
to become convinced regarding Ger
many's attitude along these lines.
The possibility of the admission OF
Austria and Hungary as well as Bull
garia is regarded in different light
by the French, who have indicated
that they are not opposed to member
ship for these nations, as it is consid.
cred that they have shown good faith
already in excess of that shown by
Germany
