 OSWEGA, N. Y, July t2 No more empty baskets for fishermen. That's what the invention of J. F. Anderson of Minetto-a hook with bait attach cd-promises. For some months An derson, a well-known angler, has been experimenting with small looking glass that goes into the water just be- hind his baited hook.
 The fish. attracted by the reflected light from the mirror, investigates. He sees big angle worm squirm- ing in the water and the reflection of another fish in the mirror about to snatch 1t away. It becomes a ques- tion of who gets it first, and the re- suit is that the sucker Is hooked

STOLEN BASES CROWINCF
 IN BIG LEAGUES
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 12 - The stolen base, once one of the bigge3t fac. tors in the attack of world cham. leaguepionship baseball teams, has been thrown into the discard by the major league managers of today. Records show that there were nearly three times as many stolen bases in the American league and nearly twice as many in the National league nine years ago as there were last year and indications are that the de- crease this year over nine years lgo will be still greater. Where there were ten star base stealers there is now only one.
 Many reasons for the decrease are advanced by managers and men who )n the paths. While all agree that heavy hitting has helped in the ten dency to make the stolen base eX- 'inct, some also blame the ineffec-
 iveness of pitchers, failure of um- pires to enforce the balk rule and the scarcity of fast men. Ty Cobb. the greatest base runner in his tory, says that the stolen base has been discarded only temporarily and will return soon.
 Cobb declares that the game moves in cycles and that following the cycles of great pitching and great base running, we now have the cycle of great hitting.
 Iris Speaker, manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians. combines ucffoctivcness of pitching with heavy hitting as the reason for he lack of stolen bases.
 A well known National league manager. who did not wish his name use. but who is looked on as student of baseball psychology. blamed the lenicncy of umpires in enforcing the balk rules as one req son for fewer stolen bases.
 Eddie Collins, who once was one of the greatest of base runners. de. clares that the catchers are not throwing any better than in the years past and that the runners are not any slower.
 "Why should I try to steal when have men behind me who usually advance me by hitting?" asked Col lins. 'Td be foolish to take the chance Another thing, the rules are more strict now. We used to get lot of free stolen bases when there were two out with the other team way ahead and no one cared whether the runner was on first or third. We don't get those any more. The only time l try to steal Is with two out and one run needed to tie or win. Then want to be on second so I can score on a single"
 Harry Hooper, another great base runner, takes the same view as Collins. while Kid Gleason, manager of the Chicago White Sox, says that the base runners of today aren't as smart as those of past years
 The records reveal some unusual facts about base stealing in the major leagues. The number of total stolen bases has decreased rapidly, more so in the American league than in the National, which now has re placed the junior circuit as the lead ing base stealing organization.

WHERE 1T STANDS
Tho Dangers That Now Confront
France on Account OF War
ReSultS

At the present moment France
stands not only in grave danger of
political isolation. but OF moral isoIa
ton. That is the real significance OF
the stormy controversy that is raging
in Paris over Mr.. Lloyd Georges
speech on the Silesian question. al
though there is no evidence that
French politicians and newspapers
perceive the deeper issue that is in
volved.
No better service can be rendered
to France by her friends everywhere
than to speak plainly and frankly.
The British. the Italians and the
Americans did not fight this war in
order to substitute French Prussian-
ism for German Prussianism or
French imperialism for German i'm
perialism. 1t Is time the French peo-
pie began to see where their politics
is leading them and to understand
what Me ultimate consequences must
be to France.
The Silesian incident is merely the
elimination of a series Of politics
with which the rest OF the world has
little or no sympathy. In this par
ticular case the aggression was not
directed against the Germans, as the
French press assumes, but against
the treaty OF Versailles, to which the
French government has set its sigma
ture. France wfll not be permitted
by her former allies to make a SCRAP
of paper OF that treaty while retain
ing all the benefits that she derives
from it. II there is to be a revision
OF the treaty itimust be an open re-
vision and not q process of piecemea'

If France desired to destroy Ger,
