premature &c make a statement now.
London, Feby. 18th.-A manifesto on
the proposed German Indemnity was
adopted at a joint meeting of the ParIia-
mentary Committee of the Trades Union
Congress and the Executive Committee
of t e Labour Party, held in London
yesterday. 1t claimed that the cause Of
the industrial crisis lay for the most part
abroad. All Europe had been impover-
iShed by war, and part Of it had been
ruined by peace. we are not faced in
the indemnity terms, says the manifesto,
with a demand for an immense tribute
from German industry which must re-
duce still further the capacity of the
German people, to consume our goods.
We shipped directly last year to the Ger
man, Russian and Austro-H Hungarian
ports less than one tenth Of that we
sent out to them in 1913. The decrease
would suffice To account for most Of
the present unemployment. In this
general improvement which by running
our customers had thrown out workers
idle, there is something worse than the
inevitable waste of wealth caused by
the war. The Blockade Of Russia was
a wanton act of Policy. In clause
alter clause, the peace treaties have
com pleted the ruin which the war be-
gan. Germany was hidden (quite pro-
perIy) to work in order that repara-
tIons, might be earned, but the treaty
which imposed this obligation took her
mercantile marine, deprived her of
three-tourths Of her iron one, diminished
her supply OF industrial coal and closed
down the banks and business by which.
alone she can trade abroad. Il is clear
that IRE indemnity Gun be paid only
in exports Of goods winch will come
without calling for any answering goods
by gay OF payment THAI means fur
Their disturbance OF british industry.
Again, if Germany is to pay, she mast
desist for forty two years from buying
but absolutely necessary goods abroad.
That mears the British market cannot
be recovered and consequently unem-
pioyment. Swapping Of the Worlds
Market with what are virtually prison
made goods will confront the British
workers with an unprecedented form of
competition.

CANNOT SEE THE GIANTS
Three Clubs in National Say New
York Pitchers Too Weak to
Win the Flag.
RY GEORGE CHADWICK.

NEW YORK. July 6.-Players OF
three Of the clubs OF the National
League Chicago. Brooklyn and Phil
adelphia-say the pitchers OF the
Giants are not good enough to carry
the team to the championship.
The wish may be father to the
thought, for there Is no great love
among them for the New York team.
When ball players discuss cham
pionships it is before morning prao-
tice or on rainy days. The writer
has talked with all three teams and
also with the players Of the Pitts
burgh and St. Louis clubs.
Naturally. you can't get the Pitts
burghs to stand up and tell how the
Giants may win the championship.
because the Pirates have picked out
poets to store the pennant on its own
account.
The St Louis fellows are rather
non-committaL Personally they
think that they can defeat the Giants
themselves. but most St Louis teams
fill their waking hours with notions
Of that kind. Frequently they make
good, 80 far az an individual thrash
ing Of New York is concerned.
Some Of the reasons why the Giant
pitchers are rated low run as fol-
lows:
TOO OLD.
Had too much hard work before
joining the Giants
Not q good curve ball pitcher in
tho lot.
Seven-inninE pitcherA
Ineffective without using some
substance on tho ball
Only one good fielding pitcher
among them.

being runners-up with four apiece.
The GriHs are either getting back
into their early-season hitting stride

They raped the ball into safe terri
tory on twenty-six occasions in all.
schacht was given credit for the VIC
tory in the first game, although he
was removed when Johnson batted for
him in the seventh. the big inning.
and 1t was Shaw who held the Sox
down for the remainder of the battle.
Mcbride evidently didn't like the
way Smith looked at bat against
left-hander, and withdrew him after
he had famed in the opener. Miller,
who took his place, not only got q
couple Of bingles. but handled himself
well in the field, his peg to nip NC
Innis at the plate in round being
perfect.
The coolest weather tho Nationals
have encountered since early spring
prevailed yesterday. Even Milan. who
is not in the best of shape following
several weeks of inactivity due to In
juries, was able to go through both
games without getting tagged: A
small crowd turned out for the bar
gain, something like 5000.
