RUTH FINED AND SUSPENDED
BY BASEBALL COMMISSIONER

Chicago, Dec, 5.-The chad news for
Babe Ruth. worlds champion home run
hitter with the New York Yankees.
broke today.
Ruth was fined his worlds series
prize amounting to $3,362.26. and sus-
pended until May 20 of 1922 season by
Judge Lands, commissioner of baseball,
for par ticipating in those exhibition
games following the close of the worlds
series games between the Giants and
Yankees.
outfelder Bob Meusel and Pitcher
William Percy, also members Of the
pennant- winning Yankees, who partici-
pated in the transforming trip with
Ruth, drew substantially the same pen
atty. Pitcher Piercy's fine was 500 less
than the other two players-Piercey'
share of the worlds series being that
much less than the other players re-
ceived.
The suspension OF Ruth for at least
the first month of the American League
pennant race. practically means, base
ball observers pointed out tonight, that
the New York slugger will have little
chance of breaking his home run record
next season. The fact that he will not
be eligible to apply for reinstatement
until May 20-the season starting about
April 14-Inakes 1t almost impossible
for Ruth TO shatter his record of SO
homers, the experts said
The decision Furnishing Ruth and the

Gaining Good Will

The relief work which America has been do
ing in the stricken countries of the world will be
cumulative in the good will and gratitude which
it engenders in the beneficiaries. No nation can
practice charity on the broad scale of the Ameri-
dispensation of kindness without reaping a
reward in the everlasting gratitude of the men
and women who have been fed, clothed and
healed.
Il The nations that have appealed to us for
bread to feed their starving thousands have not
been turned away. America has met their re-
quests willingly and gladly. Vast sums of money
have been given to purchase food, clothing and
medicine Thousands of Americans have dis
tributed the relief and with words of encourage
ment cheered the men and women who had lost
faith and hope!
Americas work in the Near East and in rails
ing money for the relief of the starving children
of European countries is one of the finest
achievements of nation. Millions have been
saved from death to thank us for our benevolence
and kindness. In their hearts has been kindled
anew desire to live and achieve.
And even now the American farmer is dem
onstrating the measure of his love for the starv-
ing peoples of the world. He is making gener.
Gus donation of corn to be sent abroad for the
relief of starving populations. Thousands of
bushels will soon be on their way to help drive
the specter of starvation from lands where men
and women are subssting on roots and grass.
Americas glory is not in her resources, but
in the generosity with which she draws on her
wealth to help the needy and starving. Therein
does she exemplify her greatness and manifest
her nobility to the people of the world.

emily ought to cooperate with congress when it
shows disposition to take us at our word and to
eliminate sources of expense.
Purely local considerations ought to have no
voice in determining an expenditure. The public
ought not to ask for improvements and the crea-
ton of offices that do not serve the whole coun-
try. If we are sincere in our wish for economy,
we ought not to object to an elimination of ap-
preparations intended for selfish political pur-
poses
Along with the movement to check the desire
of the people to spend the peoples money is a
growing wish among taxpayers that the execu-
tive machinery receive a thorough overhauling
to eradicate unnecessary offices, to expedite the
handling of government business, and to intro
duce business-like methods. Hundreds of mil
lions of dollars could be saved by these changes,
business experts say.
In day of stupendous government expendi-
lures, the dictates of economy emphatically
recommend the application of methods that will
save this money for the American people.

Germany Fooled

If the Germans believed that their refusal to
meet the reparation demands would create mis-
understanding between the allies or gain SYM
pathy for them in America, they probably realize
their mistake by this time.
The allied diplomats we're in accord in the pro-
posal to occupy more German territory, and
America did not protest against the action. From
a strategic standpoint Germany has gained moth
ing by her decision to protest the payments.
!. One of the astounding revelations of the ne
gotiations was the fact that Germany still be-
leves she is not responsible for the~war and that
the allies are acting unjustly and harshly in inn
posing further disciplinary measures to collect
the money which they believe should be paid as a
result of the war
This attitude is resented by the allies whose
people suffered severely from the inroads Of the
German army. The restoration of French dis
tricts, for instance, will not be completed for
many years, owing to the ruthlessness with
which property was destroyed and the havoc that
was wrought blythe artillery of the engaging
armies France will not be satisfied unless Ger
many pays. heavily for the inflicted damage. Her
people and her statesmen insist that Germany
must be crippled so badly that she cannot under
take another war Of aggression.
q If Germany has misunderstood the temper of
the allies the latest occupation of her territories
ought to convince her that the allies mean to
carry out the terms of the treaty. =

Secretary Melons Warning

q The people generally must become more in
terested in saving the governments money than
in spending it," says Secretary Mellon in his first
official statement IT."
re Unquestionably no small part of the public
expenditures are for unnecessary improvements
and for projects that might be postponed for
years without injuring the public welfare. The
secretary rightly argues that if the public will
quit asking for some of the unnecessary improve
ments that find their way into pork bills, it
will be relieved of part of the heavy tax burden.
=, The public will find little fault with congress
if it lops off every unnecessary item in appro-
priation bills and restricts expenditures to the
most necessary things. The public has been
clamoring for reduced expenditures, and consist
