" OLD1 GLORY"
"America For Americans"
MAKING READY EOK WAR
la a. few days the United States,
after six montiis of war, will lia-ve
<• greaWr military establishment
than it even had at any one time
during all the years of the civil war.
It will have the greatest armies ever
xajsed on American soil, and wha'
is no less impressive, it will
have the be'st equipped, the best
trained, the best officered and mos*
truly democratic armies in its
whole history.
Few persons adequately appre
ciate the enormous work that the
government has already done in
this war. A country that had not
Deen seriously disturbed by armed
conflict for more than fifty years
.had to be put ou a war basis at
once. The machinery did uot ex
ist. It had to be created, and
created it -was, with, astonishingly
little confusion and astonishingly
Brilliant results, as all foreign ob
servers testify.
If there are skeptics who do not
believe that the American people
are serious in the great task to
which they have set their hand,
lH them study the record of the
last six months. Every war meas
ure o' the government, including
conscription, has received an over
whelming measure of public sup
port that sweot down all opposition.
No appeal from "Washnigtou to the
American people has been denied,
and the country is going ahead in
the spirit of tts soldiers. It is go
ing to finish the Job and finish it
for all time, aud the men who
marched yesterday are the living
evidence of its unyielding determina
tion.—New York World .
GERMANY'S LOST WEALTH 1
Half of Germany's pre-war
w«>altn of $90,000,000,000 has been
J»'iped out by the war, says an of
ficial report made by the Munich
independent committee f°r German
peace.
The Munich committee says tha#
.Germany could not have paid more
■heavily for the war unless invading
armfea had reduced her cities to
ruiu. The railroads, for instance,
so worn, down from excess of
military usage and lack of repairs
and proper upkeep, that they now
barely suffice for military traffic.
The condition of the railroads and
necessary curtailment of traffic has
£ad a blighting effect on all indus
tries, and now things are at such a
pads that the people of Berlin have
been officially forbidden to take
■warta baths because coal is so
scarce that none must be used for
heating bath water. Hundreds of
thousands of children, according to
the German chancellor himself, have
.been removed from the cities to the
country in order to lessen tha
amount of foodstuffs which the rail
roads have to haul into the big cen
ter* of population..

AN ACCOUNT OF A GAME llETWE.
CANADIAN* JOHNNIES IN' L<
By Twells Brex
Sports Writer ill LouUou Daily Mail
The turf arena of classic Lord's
iavaded by a shouting crowd; a woa
derful blue bank Of hundreds of
wouaded soldiers/ a dia of sticks
rattled oa tins, horns, megaphones,
aad other instruments of encourage
ment and discouragement; enhtu
siasts who danced epileptically; en
thusiasts with four-in-square U. S.
A. flags in their hat bands; pha
lanxes of Canadians who chorussed
scornfully, "Now. then, you Yan
kees;" a puzzled, somewhat lonely
minority of Londoners oa the
stands; gray clad players padded
like crusaders; and ia the middle
of the playing field a mascot White
goat ia a brilliant red coat!
That was the scene at Lord's on
Saturday afternoon when -Canada,
by 12 to 3, beat the t'aited States
in the great baseball game before
10.000 spectators.
If the ghost of any old M. C. C.
'habitue glide<l on Saturday ufter
Iternoon into the pavilion, what
happened? Can ghosts swoon?
Baseball, it may De saia lurui
with. is a superb evolution of
our British game or "rounders' It
is partly a game played between
two "nines" (corresponding to
to our cricket "eleven"). It is
still more a game played by the
two "nines" and. crowd against the
umpire (who was Mr. Frederic WiJ>
lian Wile), It is a stirring, glor
ious game, incomparably liviier than
cricket, for players, for spcetators,
and, above all, for the umpire.
A baseball crowd thoroughly
"rattles" the umpire even before
the game starts. The umpire stands
and smiles (or pretends to smile)
while megaphones tell him his de
plorable past and liis disgraceful fu
ture. If he takes off his mask the
"rooters" beg him to put it on
again lest his features provoke bad
weather; if he resumes his mask
the "rooters" implore him to take it
off and "give the ball a chance."
An expert told me that Saturday's
umpire was an excellent umpire,
just and equitable as Rhadaman
tbus, but it made no difference.
He was an umpire—that is enough
for a baseball crowd.
As Canada's score mounted the
roar and dine of the "rooters" wax
Hl'BBY IS XOT THE BOSS
more is the married man of
Washington absolute head of the
fami!,/. He shares that post with
the wife of his heart so far as the
disposal of community personal
prop'.r'y is concerned. Man was
,dems;ted from his bigh estate and
his authority curtailed by a recent
decision of the state supreme court,
which held the "Mrs." of the house
hold as an equal share in the person
al property and must bg consulted
before it can be transferred.
The decision was rendered, says
th« Spokane Ckronicle, in the
case of a man named Steel, who
wa-' found guilty of alienating the
affections of another man's wife.
Judgment was rendered against him
'and tf>e question of using communi
ty property to satisfy the debt
was orought before the tribunal.
Chief Jusrice Ellis, with the con
cu rence of six associate judges,
ver-fd former decisions which have
been the basis of law on this point
for 20 years or more in the state,
and held that the community per
sonal property is liable only for
those debts contracted for the com
munity and in th.e community in
terests.
Under former decisions the pow
er of the husband over community
property was absolute, except that,
h» could not will away more than
hal' the other half going to the
wife *t his death. He could mort
gage, sell or dissipate the family
personalty without the consent of
his wife. The furniture could be
odd over her head to pay the debts
of a drunken husband. A judgment
for a husband's wrong conduct couiiS
be collected from Iter half of the
uersonal property as well as his.
Now the husband is no more than
an agent, the court has held.
Mills and factories are likewise
suffering. They are either divert
ed to war use or else are run down
and closed because Of the inability
to get metals and men to make
necessary repairs. The soil of the
farms has suffered from the lack of
fertilizers and proper cultivation.
The ravages of war in Germany
have Deen no less real, even though
less ghastly, than those suffered by
Belgium, Northern France, Poland
and Serbia. No wonder cheer ?s
lacking in the fatherland when the
inhabitants contemplate their own
enormous losses, and then realize
that their enemies are determined
that they must also make repara
tion for the ruin the German ar
mies have wrought in other lauds.

ed greater. They were dolirious
in joy or delirious iu anger. Among
a group of players sat a Canadian
o*'icer with a megaphone. Every
time Canada scored the officer leapt
| like a ram upon the grass crying
tkru the megaphone, "Hold me
down! Hold me down!" When six
runs had been scored the crowd
sang "one, Two T-h-r-e-e, Four,
F-i-v-e, SIX" in a crescendo chorus.
They repeated the chorus, adding a
runs were scored. The climax of
number each time, until the 12
hectic excitement was when a
"homt. run"—right round the three
80-foot bases of the "diamond" ■—
watj stored.
la the middle of that transcend
ental uproar' the American caught
ine lighting a pipe. He begged me
to refrain. "It's not considered dig
iiified," he urged "to smoke pfipeu
at baseball matches." It was dur
ing this climax of enthusiasm that
the goat, who had hitherto main
tained calmness, ended a war-dance
by charging nis soldier leash-holder.
Baseball is a great game. It is
high time that wo imported it in
to Britain. The after-war "gate
money" public will demand some
thing less 6taid Pud prolonged than
cricket. Baseball is as swift, brave,
and skilled a gam© as exists. It is
packed with thrills ,it has not a duil
minute.

I OLD PEOPLE'S
KIDNEYS
Many Elderly Skajfwuy Resident*
Suffer From Nome Form of
Kidney Trouble.
When past middle age, there
frequently comes a noticeable weak
ening of the organs of the body,
and resulting danger of quick' de
cline. It is quite necessary to
give prompt help to any part that
first shows signs of wear. Healthy
kidneys are necessary to a hale old
age. Weak kidneys often bring
constant backache, lame back,
stitches and twinges of pain, an
noying urinary troubles, and the
danger of dropsy or Bright's disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills are gratefully
recommended by very many aged
people. Convincing proof of merit
in the following testimony:
J. M. Joh.nsen, carpenter, 2625 W
Fifty-ninth St., Seattle, Wash.,
says: "A cold weakened my kid
neys and after that I had a great
deal of kidney trouble. My back
was lame and it felt as though
• he muscles were all drawn up
and stiff. My kidneys didn't act
right a', all and the secretions were
highly colored. I had to get up
often at night. Doan's Kidney j
Pills gave me a complete and last
ing cure. 1 am now free from kid
ney trouble In spite of my age,
which ii past sixty years."
Price COc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Johnsen had. Foster-Mil
