olR INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE

AS is the custom in the big leagues at the opening of the baseball sea son, Mayor Paonessa will throw the first ball' at the opening of our own industrial baseball league at Wal nut Hill park tomorrow. thus again inaugurating seasons play on the diamond by teams upholdlng the honor and dignity and will-to-win of the various factories.
 The industrial league, consisting of eight baseball teams. operates un- der the Industrial Athletic Commis- sion of the Y. M. c. A., of which Bryce Long is secretary, combining this job with being assistant secre- tary at the Y. Mir. Long has been the leading spirit in promoting basketball in winter and industrial baseball during the summer and 1t was with right that Frank Quinby, former Yale cOacH ana star o1 tl' Yale team, said that this city is the most successful of any he knows in promoting industrial sports.
 The new park board seems to have acted quickly in transferring the baseball games from Willow Brook 10 Walnut Hill park, surmountlng the previous objection that batt"d balls would endanger the lives and limbs of tennis players by erecting q screen near the tennis courts.
 The popularity of the industrial league games has been well earned. The interest is widespread and their value as disseminators Of wholesale living and exercise cannot be over stimated. In a sense they are a credit 10 the city.

sides its district lists, has a so-called reich list whereon it puts the names of it leaders as best brains.
 As result of this system the leaders do not run any risks of not being reelected, as their names head the party tickets. Dr. Strese- mann's name, for instance, heads the list of the Peoples party and he is absolutely certain Of seat i'll the next Reichetag, A peculiarity is that the total of members or the Reich stag is not fixed by law, but de- pends altogether upon the number of voters who actually go to the polls one deputy for every 6o,oe0 actual voters.
 The voting yesterday seems to have resulted in 70 per cent Of the citizens voting Ill the rural districts and smaller cities, and 90 to 97 per cent This is q high average. The Socialists-a party which in Eng land would be called Liberal and in this country mildly radical, like the abortive third parties usually are already had 131 seats in the last Reichstag and has gained about 80 additional seats. The pleasant result has been that the Nationaiists have lost heavily.

pie shows that the average for girls is better in the elementary grades than for boys. but that boys outstrip girls in high schools, normal schools and colleges. Other tests, however. have shown little difference in the scholastic averages of the two sexes.
 Q. Is Greenly Island. on which the German and Irish aviators land ed, part of the American conti- nent?
 A. Islands adjacent to a conti- mental land mass are geographically considered part of the continent. Greenly Island is. therefore. part of the North American continent.
 Q. Can an alien seaman who de- serted his ship in the United States and who has been living in this country for four years be deported or can he become a citizen of the United States?
 A. He may not be deported but he can not become an American citizen unless he returns to his country and comes in as an immi- grant in the usual way.

THE STATE HATES CHANGE

How Connecticut dislikes change. The people of the Nutmeg state, talk cn by and large. seem to be as op- posed to unsettling an opinion, up- roofing the canons of political orthodoxy, as an owl hates sunlight.
 Connecticut, so the party papers tell us, is 10th 10 let Senator Mclean choose not to run again. The senior senator has been forced to make nearly ae many declarations of re- nuncation about 1t as the President of the United States, finally squelch ing all drafters with final and ultra -uncqlivocal announcement that he is to be done with the Sen ate after his term expires in 1929,
 The disposition 10 stick to Cool idgc regardless Of the President $ wishes is nowhere more definite tlktn in Connecticut, if one accepts the announcements of J. Henry Eora- back and the Republican sub chief tains Although the Connecticut dele gates 10 the national ConI Cntion will 20 uninstructcd. J. Henry has been saving so much about the necessity of forcing Mr. Coolidge to run again that the subaltcrns can scarcely do anything else about it when they gel to the metropolis along the Mis-sH-rah.

KELIOGG'S PEACE DOVE

Since the Kellogg plan for treaties national policy was sent 10 England, France, Germany, Japan and Italy much speculation has been indulged in as to the reception abroad. France has found exceptions and would make reservations. Germany agreed to such a treaty almost by return mail, England now announces she gives the treaty full support, France, Italy and Japan are yet to be more definitely heard from and doubtless need more time to think 1t over
 The British reply has included 8 reference to the French reservations. which are favored" In Washington 1t is not believed that any rcserva- tions will be acceptable to the American government and that the European powers will have to accept the plan in toto or reject il. The fact that two governments have practical ly done this is victory for the American state department of no mean proportions.
 Without the signature of France, however, it is doubtful whether such a treaty vii be signed by the five powers. The French attitude is that the treaty would have to exempt all the French alliances and military understanding which have been en- tered into since the war. The six French reservations naturally are unacceptable to the American state department as manfestly treaty to abolish war" would be Naluelees if it did not superscde alliances and understandings"
 One Of the chief values of the kel- logg proposal so far has been to fer ret out the real attitudes of Euro pean nations regarding war after the war to end war was fought. The diff flculty is that so long as one nation refuses to accept such a proposal as that put forward by the American state department none of the others will feel themselves safe to do so.
