"A Drawn for The Bee by George McManus MARTY GIVES PA'S HOPEFULS NO REST Drills Rourkes in Three Hours of Stiff Fielding and Bat j ting Practice, NSW MEN ALL LOOK GOOD Pi Rourke's hopefuls were given no rest yesterday. For three hours Manager Marty Krug put the hope fall through their paces before he give them permission to duck for the shower and hit the trail for a movie show. The Rourkes went through both fielding and batting practices yester day and a marked improvement was manifested in the work of most of the athletes. Tony Brottem, the catcher received from the St. Louis Cards, was the live wire of the workout. Tony opened up a running-fire of conversation when the practice started and he never stopped until the finish. Both Rourke and Krug believe Tony is going to. prove to be some catcher. He has a whip like a steel spring and he has a wicked wallop with the bludgeon. He works for all that is in him all the time. Rourke fans are in for a treat when they take their first slant at Brottem, he's the pret tiest working backstopper that's been seen in the Western in some time. The stamp of approval was placed On Hal Brokaw yesterday. Monday was Brokaw's first showing of the' year and, of course, he didn't show much, but yesterday he fielded every thing hit to him and slugged some beautiful drives toward the fence in the batting practice. '. Krug is keeping a watchful eye on Johnny Watkins, the young semi-pro from Kansas City. Watkins handles himself like a veteran in the field. Marty played him at third Monday, at short yesterday and expects to try him at second today. He handled himself well at both third and short. At short yesterday, he nailed fast grounders on either side of him and played the bag nieely. If he can hit, Marty believes he may be a valuable utility man. Henning Looks Good. If "Ote" Henning continues to show the speed he did Monday and yesterday around- first base. Jake Holderman may not be missed. Hen ning is a smooth fielder and plays the bag in nice fashion and he's a hard working and willing young fellow too. , The diamond is in fine shape. The infield is drying up nicely and the outfield is already hard and firm. There is still a little ice to the south of the first base line, but this will all be removed today. Krug expects to have his team in first class shape when the Rourkes make their initial appearance of the year against the Brandeis Sunday. He will probably work all of the new men in the game. Marty O'Toole, Murphy Currie and Wavne Barham pitched in the batting practice yester day. O'Toole and Currie showed good fortm Barham didn't try to do any thing except toss 'em up because he has just started working out. Harry Walker to Handle Crowds at Wrestling Go Harry Wralker, doorkeeper at the Orpheum, has been obtained by Gene Melady to supervise the handling of the crowds at the wrestling match be tween oi Stecher and Earl Caddock at the Auditorium the evening of April 9. Walker handled the crowd at the fair grounds July 4, when Stecher and Lewis tangled, and he did it so successfully Melady sought and secured permission of Manager Byrne of the Orpheum to use Walker that one day. rasses live Hen 6tralut.

The Bel gian government has received by trustworthy means letters from re sponsible Belgians who have been de ported to Germany. The letters, dated at the end of February or early in March, were written from the camps in which the men are being confined. Some passages follow: "Since February 1 we have had only two meals a day. The one in the evening has been discontinued. That was the best one, because we had corn." From another letter: "It is fright ful here. We are dying of famine. We have a ration of bread, water and beets. That is all We are skeletons, covered with skin. Thirteen men we counted in the morgue yesterday and fourteen today. That is from among the 3,000 or 4,000 here. Conditions are more frightful in the and 1 camps. If any one gives us a little soup or something else to eat he is punished with five days in prison. From another letter: "The situa tion becomes more and more unendur able from day to day. Every morning two or three dead are found in the huts. The doctors decline all respon sibility. Today 120 are dead at Camp we nope tor our deliverance by the great offensive."

A great Austro-German offensive on the Italian front is being predicted freely throughout Italy. Information reaching the Italian press from Switzerland has convinced the news papers that such a campaign has been planned by the central powers, for this spring. There is no nneasiness apparent, however,- but general confidence that Italy, is fully pre pared. 1 General Cadorna is quoted by the Giornale D'ltalia as saying to Sal vatore Barzalai, governor of the oc cupied Austrian territory: "Whether they come or not, I am acting on the principle that they will enforce. I am conscious of having neglected nothing that past experi ence may have taught and I am cer tain of having at my command i magnificent army, full of energy and faith and strengthened, rather than worn by war. I have put at its head, with strict impartiality, chiefs pos sessing the greatest aptitude for their posts. "The first element of success is the active faith of the nation in itself. For the army to resist, the country, whose every feeling is reflected by the army, must resist also. Let it have faith in itself and it wilt have victory."

HOLDEN ARGUES FOR RATE RAISE Burlington President Opens Case for Railroads With Plea for Increase. HE GIVES SIX SEASONS Washington, March 27. The ap pearance before the Interstate Com merce commission of President Har rison of the Southern railway and B. F. Bush, receiver of the Missouri Pa cific, was the first official intimation that the southern and southwestern lines would ask increased rates. President Holden of the Burling ton opened the argument for the western roads. Mr. Holden based his application for an Increase in freight rates on six grounds, as follows: Tneraased watts to trainman andsr tha Adamson law. Incrsassd wssss ttt othsr employes, soma already (ranted, with others likely to fol low In the Immsdlsts future. Inoreaasd coat of locomotive fust oal and oil. Increased eost of materials. Increases In prices of equipment Hither taxes. Mr. Holden said the roads had come to the Interstate Commerce commission first because they felt that should the commission grant their petition there would be less dif ficulty in obtaining authority to in crease intrastate rates from the va rious state boards and commissions involved. Such applications, lie said, would follow a ruling in the present Instance. 'The national outlook is clouded with conditions of the most serious character," Mr. Holden said, "of suf ficient severity to indicate that the transportation machine of the coun try must be brought to and main tained at the highest possible stan dard of efficiency with the least pos sible delay. . Need More Equipment. "There is great need for more power and equipment, more trackage and larger terminals. To produce these in the face of these enormous in creases in expenses requires a sub stantial increase in revenues through an increase in rates, whereby addi tional money will be available to pay increased operating and maintenance expenses and interest upon the new capital which will be required - to finance the improvement and addi tions necessary. The percentage of increase, Mr. Holden said, was a subject which would yet have to be determined. In this connection he declared that re cent estimates fixing $60,000,000 as the additional amount to be paid the railroad brotherhoods under the Adamson law was inadequate, and that the amount would be consider able larger than that figure. Should the country go to war, Mr. Holden continued, the resources of the railroads, their plants and equip ment would be placed, first of all, at the disposal of the government. Such action, he said, would not only de prive them of a large sum in commer cial revenue, but would make scienti fic management of the roads tempor arily difficult. sMHsssss1ssMnsssM "BE PREPARED FOR THE DRY SPELL" Sunny Brook the pure food whiskey The FAVORITE WHISKEY for the HOME.

W A SeW MsVL" TONNAGE SUNK IN MARCHFALLS OFF British Data Indicates U-Boata Destroy Less Shipping in March Than February. BESESFOBD GIVES FIOUBES London, March 27. Losses of mer chant vessels amounting to more than 420,000 tons thus far in March have resulted from war measures of the central powers, Lord Charles Beres ford said in the House of Lords today. In a debate in the House of Lords on the British blockade. Lord Beres ford said that with longer days and calmer weather the losses would in crease and that the public ought to have the facts brought home to it. The number of vessels destroyed thus far this month was given by him as 255. Lord Beresford expressed the opin ion that captures of submarines by the British navy were not at all equiv alent to the new submarines the Ger mans were launching. He believed the Germans had more men and more food than had been imagined in Eng land. The foreign office, he said, had too much power over the navy to the de triment of the navy. The losses of British, allied and neutral vessels for February, he said, amounted to 281 vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of more than 500,000. Figures given out in London on March 3 placed the amount of ton nage destroyed by German subma rines in February at about 490,000. No mention was made at this time of ships destroyed by mines. The Ger man admiralty announced on March 16 that the. aggregate gross tonnage of merchant ships destroyed through war measures of the central powers was 781,500.
