WORLD’S SERI ES
BULL FUNDS
(Uv United Press)
NEW YORK, Feb. 16. — Laughing
nt the variously colored and scented
suggestions for changes in the man
ner of conducting the annual world’s
series, John B. Foster, secretary of
the New York National League club,
declared today there isn't really any
thing to be done about it.
"If the magnates feel they really
have to have a change,” he said, “let
them give the winning club 90 per cent
of the players’ share and give the los
ers 10 per cent of the winning club's
share and give it to charity, and give
just the same amount out of the club’s
share.
"This idea of giving every club in
each league a whack at it is alto
gether wrong. Do you suppose they
would go on through without pooling
the sum to be divided a different way?
Not on your life. They'd turn it into
a cinch for some club and then the
tail-enders would cease to play their
hardest.”
Foster went back to the days when
the world’s series started.
“The players don't realize," he said,
“that the world’s series was started
for their especial benefit. They got
into the first cut because the magnates
wanted to give the championship clubs
a bonus for their work. It never was
the intention to have others partici
pate. Now, when the season advances
across the Fourth of July mark, the
only thing the first division clubs can
see is the old dollar mark, and it
sticks in their craws right up to the
last game.”
Foster believes something should
be done and that quick, but he doesn't
jibe with the suggestion that the num
ber of games or the rules governing
them be changed, with the exception
of the manner of dividing the gate
receipts .

(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. l(i. — The new one
pound treasury notes which will be

proof, and have been designed with
the assistance of the greatest author
ity on illicit reprobation. The pa

than the pi^nf?m notes, on the right
is th‘L^fmg's head in a curious pale
^^gri-’ehy-brown shade, surrounded by
an oval bearing the Imperial titles and
surmounted by the crown.
On the left is a design of St. George
and the Dragon. Green ink is used
for the lettering. The reverse of the
note bears in fain ink an outline of
the house of parliament, with a water
mark of "one pound” and the royal
cipher and crown on either side. New
ten shilling notes will appear later.
SMALLMEXICANlGS ARE
NOW AT PREAAIUAA
(By Associated Press)
JUAREZ, Feb. 1G. — The demand
for Chihuahua dogs is greater than the
supply and small boys are searching
all of the homes of refugees from the
interior of the state for these dimi
nutive little animals with their bulg
ing eyes and long ears.
The American soldiers of the na
tional guard regiments are responsible
for this demand. Many of them had
never heard of the little dogs until
they came to the border and saw
* Mexican vendors selling them on the *
streets. There was an immediate rush =
for them to send back home. The —
dog supply was soon exhausted and
the vendors offered high prices for
more of the Chihuahua breed. This
demand was at first met by the sur
plus supply here, but every available
dog soon was sold on the market.

LONDON, Feb. 16. — There are no
secrets from the state In war time.
Lawyers, doctors, priests In the con
tesslonal — all are Included In the
phrase “person or persons of any
class or description," who must tell
on demand, under the British defense
of the realm act.
The Issue has been pointedly raised
in Ireland, where the military authori
ties have arrested a lawyer, H. O.
Moran, and his client, James Ryan,
for refusing to state how certain doc
uments read In a Limerick law cnse
came into their possession.
In a statement justifying the posi
tion of parliament in abolishing the
hitherto inviolable secrecy which has
surrounded the relations of lawyer
and client, doctor and patient, or of
priest and parishioner, Sir William
Bull, one of the leading legal lights
of the house of commons, says:
“The safety and defense of the
realm override everything. There can
be no question of privileges or cus
toms intervening in a matter essen
tial to the welfare of the state. Doc
tors and priests are under exactly the
same obligations as lawyers, to give
information to the competent mili
tary authority who demands it."

STATESMEN URGED LEARN
FOREIGN FANCIES
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 1G. — The London
newspapers are again urging British
politicians and lawmakers to “learn to
speak a few foreign languages.” It
is remarked that one serious disquali
fication of Premier Lloyd Georgo at
the Home conference was his inabil
ity to speak French.
“It is simply a necessity for British
statesmen and diplomats to extend
their ligulstic attainments,” says the
Globe. “It has been made painfully
evident that as a nation we are not
educated up to the continental stand
ard in this matter. Knowledge of
tongues will become increasingly ne
cessary if we are to take our proper
place in the affairs of the continent."

GERMAN WOMEN
ARE DOING
GOOD WORK
(By Associated Press)
BERLIN. Feb. 16. — One of the
Berlin newspapers has conducted an
inquiry as to how women have suc
ceeded in doing men’s work, and to
what extent they will be kept at such
work after the war.
The leading electrical company of
the country replied that it was now
employing four times as many women
as before the war, and its factories
in general had favorable results with
women as workers.
The street cleaning department re
ttorts that women have done well as
teamsters on night work, but they
have not yet been employed in actual
street cleaning, there being enough
men to do it. The omnibus company
has been employing women only for
a short time, but it reports Itself as
satisfied with them, both as drivers
and as conductors. The leading local
express company, which also handles
much baggage and other heavy ob
jects, says that it has some women at
work, but it finds that they are not
suited for such heavy work; they are
also hindered by their clothing in
climbing upon and out of the wagons.
The Berlin Street Railway Company
has substituted women for men to the
extent of one-half of the names on Its
payroll; 3,900 of its 4,700 conductors
are women, 450 of the 2,750 motormen,
400 of the 1,000 employees in its work
shops, including those engaged in
washing cars, and 200 of the 500 of
fice employees. The company says:
“In all these positions women are do
ing satisfactory work, which varies
little from that of the men."
The postoffice reports that It has
taken on a large number of women,
especially in the smaller offices, and
that they have given favorable re
sults; but it is not Intended to retain
them permanently after the war.
The state railway management enu
merates a great number of positions
in which It now employs women, and
praises the “good will, industry, zeal
and in many instances the achieve
ments" of the women, but it complains
that the irregularity of their work, the
frequent changes in employment, have
a disturbing effect. The management
adds that many women who have done
satisfactory work will be retained in
the service after the war, but that in
general the employment of women by
the state roads will be only temporary.
CANADIAN SOLDIERS HAVE

LONDON, Feb. 15. — A proposal is
under consideration for the establish
ment of a daily newspaper in Eng
land for the benefit of Canadian sol
diers both here and in France, and for
the very large Canadian civilian ele
ment which has come in the train of

by Corporal George Hendrick, of
Brussels, and erected by the Belgian

Belgian soldiers who fell there In de
fense of the last little corner of ree
Belgium.

rampart that opposed the German ad
vance In Flanders will rise from the
center of the semi circle of parapets
so arranged as to recall the trench life
on the Yser front. Thirty-four small
columns will be erected at the base
of the ramparts to bear the engraved
names of the men who died on the
Yser.
FR A N C ElS ^RESERVING
MOBILIZATION POSTERS i
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Feb. 16. — A glass plate
has been mysteriously and artistically
attached to the wall of the building of
No. 1, Rue Royale, covering one of the
