they became alarmed when Al Simmons
repeated it, and completely passed out
when several other club managers in
the American League named the Yanks
or Washington before the race was
half over.
Uncle Grit OF the Senators
horned from his SlDiueI chair and
demanded that EarnshGU and
Simmons be sentenced to the
National League.
DUT Uncle is strangely mild at the
h news from New York Saturday
that Connie Mack had picked the
Senators to win the American League
race, though Comics club is third at
the two-third mark.
While the old-timers pulled their
tombstones over upon them at the re-
capitulation of Connie, the demon war
horse of the ancients. Uncle, too, a
member of the old guard, merely passed
out cigars upon the occasion.
This naming a winner before
the season is over in race which
is fairly tight around the first
four places has upset the front
offices CT base ball more than
anything which has happened in
side in years.
I think that the weight of truth to
the predictions is SO heavy that 1t pre-
vents the mogulS from doing some
thing publicly about the matter at once.
Though there is every reason to be-
lieve from news coming from general
headquarters that some of the moguls
will suggest that set of binders and
an order of gags all around for the
managers and players who feel the
urge in 1884 to pick winners with the
snow still oozing from their galoshes.

SandWiched between the walls at the
silly suggestions of men who do not
know real base ball, Griff complains of
players who succumb to the darts OF
cupid during the playing season. Uncle
argues that the mid-season benedicts
give more attention to love. kisses and
dreams than they do to pitching ball

Washington runs in the second inning
of the first game. 1t was the heaviest

In the closing encounter, waiter
Stewart gave good account OF himself
over an eight-inning stretch. The
Yanks got to him for nine blows and
four runs, but three Of the runs were
the results of homers driven into the
right field bleachers. Gehrig got one
of these homers in the first inning,
after Joe SeWell had walked. 1t was
only an ordinary high fly, though, that
barely cleared the barrier The Yanks
scored again in the second session.
Then Walter checked the Yanks until
after one was out in the eighth, when
Babe Ruth socked his twenty sixth

honest wallop.

VIENNA. Austria.-What is going to
happen to the thousands of German in
tellectuals who, escaping the Nazi ter
ror, have fled abroad and are trying to
set up new lives in Vienna, Prague,
Zurich and other refugee centers?
These emigres, potentially constitut-
ing the cream of German science, phil
osophy and art. have created new and
serious international problem. How are
they to support themselves? What
countries will give them permanent pro-
lection? How are they to live?
1t is strenuously hoped by the em1-
gres themselves, and by disintereSted
liberals everywhere, that the United
States Government may see some way
to relax its immigration regulation, so
that emergency visas may be issued IN
case of urgent need.
1848 Exodus Recalled.
The emigres are similar to those who
made the great exodus from Germany
in 1848. Then a great part went to
America, where some, like Carl Schurz,
became distinguished citizens whose
lives were of compelling value to their
new country. Richard Wagner was a
German emigre. So was Franz List.
Today there are hundreds Of minor
Wagners, Schurzes, Liszts seeking new

Chinese, Seeking Way to Unity,
Turn to Builder of Great Wall

SHANGHAI.-With two decades Of
chaos and civil wars behind her, the
China of today is beginning to take
interest again in the career Of the man
who first united the nation and gave
to it a social and political solidarity
that lasted till modern times. His
name was Shih Huang-ti. He died 2,143
years ago, after having reigned for 10
years as founder of the Chin dynasty.
Built Great Wall.
Scholarly study is now being voted
to the career of Emperor Shih, whose
principal achievements besides uniting
China were the building of the Great
Wall the beginning of China's canal
system and highways, and the organiza-
tion of the first national army and navy.
For centuries, and till quite recently in
the present century, study OF Emperor
Shih has been banned in China and
his name abjured because during his
reign he ordered all books except those
concerning medicine. music and astrolo-
gy to be burned throughout the empire.
For this also Chinese have chosen to
be known as ''sons Of Ham," after the
Emperor who succeeded the Chin dy-
nasty. rather than as "sons of Shih.'
Chinese now are beginning to realize

flee the Reich because of insupportable
conditions. Most of them have COM
mitted no crime. Mostly they are not
of outspoken political views. They are
artists, professors, musicians, lawyers,
historians, scientists, who, because they
happened also to be Jews, liberals or
pacifists, are prescribed by the Nazis.
They represent part Of the elite of
German culture, and some of them, of
impeccable. international reputation in
their feldS, are in exile today, men
without q country. Their life-work at
home is shattered; they must begin new
lives.
Three Glasses Of Emigres.
The emigres, hundreds Of whom have
found temporary refuge in Vienna
alone, can be subdivided into three
classes:
1. The Communists. These, presum-
ably, will eventually be taken care of
by Russia, and they present less imme-
diate cause for worry than the others.
2. The Jews. International Jewish
organizations are already mobilizing for
their rescue. and Palestine Is an even
tual possibility as new home.
3. The others-mostly teachers, ar
lists, lawyers, doctors, scientists, who
are neither Jewish nor Communist, Just
plain liberals, like most Americans. It
is for these that the crisis Is most
urgent.

Scheme Is Wrecked.
Jealous European rivals soon wrecked
the American builders scheme. Russia
and France were at that time keenly
interested in getting control of a north
south railway in China that would link
French Indo-China with the then
Russian dominated Chinese provinces Of
Manchuria. Capitalists of these two
powers already had bought up all tho
shares of the Belgian syndicate that
had begun building the Peking -Hankow
Railway, and they now endeavored to
get control of the Ame-ican-China De-
velopment Co. by similar methods.
j. P. Morgan, whose house held tho
principal interest in the latter company,
vigorously fought the movement when
he became aware of it, but was unsuc-
ceSsful, and Russo French capitalists
finally prevailed Alarmed at this de.

the concession. purchased all the hold
ings and development work, and COM
pensated the Americans.

sidered. Under Chinese supervision the

trivial additions made between civil
wars, work has stopped since 1917.

panacea is being tried or recommended
here, with none bringing real unity
any nearer, close scrutiny of Shih's
methods may be profitable. The state

China Divided.
About 230 BE-, when Shih Huang-t tt
first began to make his influence felt,
what Is today China was divided up
into several hundred Independent Or
semi-independent districts, ruled by
feudal prices, whose position bears con-

Of business activity now taking place is
actually better business" in the long
term sense-remains to be SEEN I do
not say that to cast doubt. That some
do have doubt about the phase that
may follow this Is a contemporary fact
which must be recorded. But it has no
weight politically. The country likes
what Is happening. To the few. the

ment Of Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign slo-
gan. Happy Days Are Here Again.
There is no reason to doubt this burst
OF prosperity, in the sense that the de-
preston Is over and that we are in a
new cycle. It Is fair record of pres
ent thought among the most expert in
economics and the most practical in
business that literally none doubts we

by profits, enlarged employment and
the other accompaniments Of what we
call prosperity.
Doubters Loek Ahead.
The doubters who exist-and they are
important If not numerous-focus their
apprehensions not ON the present but
on the future, on a phase which they
fear may follow this. They think that
a business activity which in part rests

not all the precedents are on the side
Of the fearful. Several countries have
made use Of imitation and have arrested
it-including ourselves during and after
the Civil War. Assuming they are
right In their first fear, that actual cur
rency imitation will come and that 1t
cannot be controlled, they then argue
that the phase following imitation Is
very dreadful indeed. And, accepting

These measures, however. are justified
by analogy to war. and our war statutes
in 1917 did not assume that the con-
flict would end on any f1xed date.
When the peace came, President Wilson
dissolved promptly the structure Of

that the ending Of depression may not

Stin Individualistic.
I think 1t is not likely, however, and
for a specific reason. The true in
dividualist in America Is the farmer.
For the moment, In his distress, he is
willing to endure restriction himself,
and to welcome the extreme and
arbitrary restrictions which the farm
relief bill puts upon those who buy his
crops and manufacture them. But the
very purpose Of the farm relief bill is
to restore the farmer to the feeling Of
independence, to enable him to sell
pay of his mortgage, to feel secure
and Independent In the possession Of
his land. Once the farmer gets his

assert itself. At that time, the Demo-

China Resumes Work to Complete

CANTON-After delay of 16 years,
work again has been started here on
the remaining $40 miles of track which
must be laid to complete the Canton
Hankow Railway, a line which ulti-
mately will give South China its first
rail link with the north. The opening
Of this railway not only will join Can

the latter city, with all of Europe
Within two years, according to pres

travellers will be able to journey from
Canton or Hongkong direct to Berlin
or Paris. entirely by rail- The journey
to London will require about 16 days,
representing a saving Of Is days over
the fastest steamer route from Hong
kong. 1t will be by far the longest con-
tinuous rail trip in the world, covering
approximately 5000 miles.

Americans Of a generation ago may
recall the Canton-H -Hankow project with
keen interest, as it was begun originally
by an American construction company
as far back as 1908. Since then it has
suffered much from economic and politi-
cal rivalries, both domestic and interna-
tional, with the result that to date only
391 miles Of the total length, projected
as ITO miles, stand completed.
No extension Of the line has been
made since 1917, and the present activity

reached by the Chinese government
with the British foreign ofice. The
agreement provides for the release OF

lowing the anti-foreign Boxer uprising

demntfy each Of the great powers. Sub
sequently the United States agreed to
return its indemnity to China for edu-
cative and cultural purposes and since
then other powers, including Great
Britain, have done likewise. The pres
