Suddenly electric lamps about grow

Too much current is squirting through

With a practised hand he shifts a

the solitude of his study at the White
House in those anxious days before
the assembling of congress. He could
not divide the burden of such q heavy
responsibility he had to bear it alone
and without a precedent to guide him.
Should we give c further trial to
armed neutrality? Or should we en-
tee upon an independent naval war
far against the submarine menace to
our shipping? Or should we back the
allies with money and supplies. but
leave them to do the fighting? Or
should we join forces with them unre-
s%ervedly, contrary to the historic pol
icy of America to go 1t alone?
Those alternatives were in every
mind in that b~ewildering period, and
the president had to choose between
them in framing the policy to be sub
mitted to congress. He made the
holder choice of going into full part
nership with the entente allies. pool
ing with them all our resources, our
man power, u money power and our
producing power.
The broad plan which he unfolded
and which congress quickly approved
assured in advance the success of the
great, unparalleled undertaking, and
he pushed it through to victory with
grim, u%nrelenting persistence. Ameri-
cans generally assumed at the start.
and the British government agreed
with them, that we should not have
to send a great army to Europe, if in
deed any at all. But when il became
an imperative necessity to 90 at
double quick to the relief of the bro
ken line in France. the foundation was
so we'll laid that we rose to the IN
foreseen emergency, building up in a
year and a half an army of 100000
and ferrying 100000 soldiers across
the Atlantic.
The brains of the country. all the
talents, were modified for the war
merchants and scientists, bankers and
men, labor leaders and cler.

task for which his training fitted him.

Chicago. June ga motion by the
defence in tho baseball trials that the
indictments charging a conspiracy on
the part of the Chicago White SoX
players to throw the 1919 world series
be quashed as illegal under the ILL
noiS law was overruled by Judge
Hugo Friend today.
judge Friend made the ruling with
exception, in order to prevent a
postponement of the case until the
next term of court, and he can re-
verse it when the case is resumed
next Tuesday.
Following this the court adjourned
until Tuesday when both sides will
present briefs on the question of
quashing the indictment.
The defence contcnded that the in
dictments were illegal in that there
were four separate conspiracies
charged in the one indictment. These
four conspiracies, the defence held,
were to defraud the public; to de-
fraud Ray Schalk, White Sox player;

that they would have to be grouped
