CHICAGO NIGHT WATCHMAN

CHICAGO. Jan. SIN time of war

are very. different.
At least this is true in the story
OF Gen. George Tscheslewsky, lately
OF the imperial Russian army. who
is now in Chicago, a member of the
night watch service for the Western
Electric Company.
The gold braid Of the Russian uni
form has given way to the brass
Duttoned coat Of the Waterman. On
ms body he wears the scars of the
Japanese and World wars. In his
heart he carries the wounds of hav.
ing seen his property taken by the
Bolsheviki and hts family driven
from q home Of luxury in Kiev to
one OF poverty after escaping as
refugees through Moscow.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The scale

Of them," he said.
Some Classes Improve.
''I do not think that the American
people, as a whole, are enjoying so
good a scale Of living as pre-war.
although some classes have i'm
proved their status as a CONSEQUENCE
Of the unbalancing. A fundamental
reason for this opinion is that we
are not producing enough, which is
aScribable in part to the increased
diversion of labor to service and
In part to the slackening in hours
and efficiency per hour by those
who are working as direct pro-
6ucers.
Retail traders are doing large
business and are optimistic. The
manufacturers Of many kinds Of ma
chinery, on the contrary, find things
slow and in their sentiment range
from doubtful to pessimistic.
Prosperity in Autos.
"The manufacturers of automo-
btles foresee another year of pros
perity, while the manufacturers Of
fertilizers wonder if they will con-
dnue to be able to keep ahead Of the
shadow Of receiverships. Such con-
ditions are the direct consequence
Of the economic unbalance.
Beneath the surface there are
undercurrents of impairment in
basic economic conditions. The sit
uation In the stock market seems to
me to reflect some recognition of
this, together with more or less be-
wilderment."

FEW CHANGES NATIONAL LOOP Giants Lead Teams In Batting-Hornsby
 Sets Pace

Nothing, but jockeying for points marked the leading hitters in the Ma tional League during the past week. Those who figured among the pace mak- CTS last week are still there and these include Hornsby of St. Louis, Snyder and Kelly of New York and Wheat and Fournier of Brooklyn.
 Hornsby has increased his percent age slightly but all five are practically where they were. There are indications of certain rumblings from below, how ever. Ed Roush of the Cincinnati Reds, for instance, is gradually coming forward. It took the center fielder a long time in getting started. A few others are advancing slowly but surely.
 Cuyler of Pittsburg, who has been given a more or less permanent job in the outfield, is exactly where he was, between Kelly and Fournier. This speedy youngster gives some evidence of sticking qualities and he may be heard from later or. The same holds true with Denver Grigsby of Chicago, who has increased his. average few points since the last recokoning.
 Carey In Lead
 Speed on the bases, having been missing most of the time, the fact that Max Carey of Pittsburg having passed his young rival, George Grantham ot Chicago, carries some interest to the fans. Carey, always late in getting un- der way, usually comes with great bust of speed near the finish. He is be- ginning a little early this season which may foreshadow an even better record than he had last year when he lead the league at the end.
 There has been nothing startling in the home run department. Fournier has slammed the ball for just one four-baser which gives him IA. Hornsby of St Louis has come through with two for just half as many as belong to the Brooklyn slugger. Williams of Phila delphia has also unlimbered for one.
 The New York Giants have done fair ly well with the stick as a team beint in possession of figure that gives then the undisputed lead. Brooklyn, Chi cago and Boston are fighting among themselves below the champions. Pitts burg improved in its sticking but moi in position.
 There was also a slight letup in field ing by the Pirates and they are tied Although not having the highest per centage Vance of Brooklyn and Alex ander of Chicago are still the actual leaders among the pitchers. Bentley oi the Giants has been coming along fast while Kramer of Pittsburg and Keen of Chicago both have impressive records
