New York, April 15.-'rhe New York Yankees yesterday announced they had released Lou Gehrig, prom- ising first baseman, to the Hartford club of the Eastern league. under op- tional agreement. The release came as a surprise. for several clubs last win- ter, including the St. Louis Browns. had refused to waive on Gehrig, a former Columbia university star who came 10 the Yankees late last season after brief professional trial with Hartford. Miller Higgins, manager of tho Yankees. said he regarded Gehrig as an unusually fine prospect but desired 10 give him further sea- soning, which he could obtain more readily playing regularly with Hart ford than warming the Yankee bench. --==z=s---=--aa--=-z=

The famous battery Of lraber and schalk of the Chicago White Sox may be no more.
 Don't get the idea that either Of the two stars Is to be released. Far from it.
 It merely means that Red Grouse, q "bushcr' catcher, may handle the spitball of the veteran Red" Faber this year.
 Ray Schak is no longer able to stand tho iron man stuG. Catching Faber is a tough job, with his peculiar sidcarm delivery and deceptive splitter.
 In the city series with the Cubs last fail, Grouse handled Fabcr's stun like a veteran. It is understood he will be given that task this summer in order to rest Schalk. If his good work con- tinues, inc position of Faber's battery partner is his.
 "He handles me as well as Ray, which is the best compliment l can pay Crouses catching" says Faber.
 The pro golfers don't exactly make q clesn-up even when they win in- portant championships. All Walter Hagen got for winning Inc north and south title at pinchHrst recently was a nifty looking medal and a check for $500. Mir. Ruth or NIT. Dempsey wouldn't even bo interested in such a scant sum.
 DO you know what ailed Mike Me- Tigue in his fight with Young Strib- Iiug? Why the poor boy was suf- feriny from myositis. Of course you know what myositis is. Well, Dr. Meylacksun, who attended the "champfoh.' says it is acute infam- nation of the muscles.
 One reason why Grover CleFeiand Alexander Of tho Chicago Cubs con- tinues to be a great pitcher is because he wastes ne effort in his work.
 Last season in s9 games. the star of the Cub staff gave only 30 bases on balIs--less than one a game--a most remarkable record.
 At one stage of tfre race. Alexander went 54 consecutive innings without giving a base on balls.

paign with enthusiastic vehemence in
hope Of renewing former imperial glories

numbers of students support the cause,

Nationalist contempt for Jews.
Goethe, GeFmany's greatest poet said
of Kant, Germany's greatest philosopher.
author of AN Essay on Permanent

.'kant's immortal greatness lies in the
fact that he endeavored by moral sua-
sion to suppress brutality. which can
exist only under it's own laws and al
ways seeks to interfere wantonly in

But last month, 100 years after
Goethe's words were uttered, German

the basis of President Wilson policy
We're mentioned
The Students slogan was: ANY pa
cifistic talk while Germany is en-
saved is a national indignity." The
threat was needed and the essay
which shows the way out of our re-
gime of temporary armistices toward
a lasting peace of justice, was not
mentioned at the ceremony.
The idea that Germany is EN-
shaved" and not merely a debtor held
to payment, is carefully nurtured
throughout Germany aud not only
among Nationalists. Still more popu-

At least fifty million Germans
swear by this doctrine, yet there is
not one word in the whole treaty
which justifies such d position. Not
one word about confession, much
people are not mentioned.
Only one sentence in the long doc
ument touches responsibility. Article
23l says the war was forced on the
allies and damage caused by aggres-
sion of imperial Germany. But as
Germany declared war on France and
Russia and invaded neutral Belgium,
she was unquestionably the attacker
and aggressor, and must bear respon-
sibility for defeat and reparations.
even though the world never heard
of the guilt question.
But majority of the German peo-
pie consider disputing Germany's
guilt the first of all duties. and it
takes a large place in the campaign
speeches.
Will such attempts at mystifica-
ton be successful, or after five sterile
years will truth emerge victorious?
The elections may answer this ques-
ton, which, after all. is more impor-
tant than boxing match. They can
decide whether the German people
will follow Kant into the light
brushing aside the mist of official
and semi official lies and peacefully
forge their destiny in the fire OF
human love with the hammer of free

Ignorance is seldom slow

Mrs. Happy Jack.
The young Happy Jacks never for
got what their mother told them
about their tails. They took the
greatest care of them. All admired
tho wonderful great tall o. their
father. Happy Jack. and each hoped
to have a tail just like it.
Being healthy and having plenty
to eat, the four little Happy Jacks
grew very rapidly. 1t wasn't long
before they We're jumping about from
branch to branch in their home tree.
They played tag and hide and seek
and ran races. And all the time they
were doing these things they were
learning how to jump. how to catch
twigs and branches, and how to use
those big tails when they were jump
ing. They didn't know 1t, but they
were learning things which they
would have to know when the time
to go out into the great world came.
One day three of them were chaS-
ing the fourth ore up in that tree.
They were having a very exciting
time. One could jump little further,
dodge a little more quickly and run a
little more rapidly than the others.
And this was the one that the three
were trying to catch. Suddenly they

They didn't know what the danger
was. They didn't know where it was.
But they did know that when mother
barked like that there was just one
thing to do, and that was to obey.
There they clung. each one just where
he happened to be when he heard
mothers voice.
Mother had been over in another
tree. While they remained quiet,
frightened, but not knowing what to
be afraid of, Mrs. Happy Jack quietly

one to Mrs. Happy Jack.
