Right field, which is becoming in
rrea&ingly important in base ball,
'. presents a crop of players for this sea
son slightly below the average, the
'decrease in quality being almost en
- lirely due to lack of attacking
strength.
Tfye one big change comes right
' at the head of the American league
exclusive of pitchers and catchers,
with Detroit, Cleveland and Boston
close up. Cincinnati and New York,
ranking close together, lead the Na
tional.
Do not judge from the figures that
because Cincinnati and New York
score more points than boston or
Chicago, that the dope indicates them
to be stronger than the American
league clubs. This is not the case
The figures show that Reds and
Giants are stronger in their own
league, than any American league
club is in its own circuit. The fig
ures are not comparisons between
leagues, but are based upon averages
made against pitchers in their own
leagues. 1 he average strength of
the American league appears higher

dropping to third place, because of a
slowing up in his hitting and in bis
base-running.. Ihe fact that he is
superceded is not so much due to his
own decline in prowess as to the
sharp improvement of Bobby Roth
of Cleveland, and the coming of Rice
of Washington. -, '
Detroit, too, slumps back, or rather
is crowded back, tor. although Heil
man's hitting power might land him
' in the lead, the practical certainty that
he will not occupy the. southeast quar

Disorders in Siberia
Increase; Loot Houses
Harbin, Manchuria. April 8. Dis
order is increasing in Siberia and the
Bolsheviki are using every effort to
overthrow General Pleshkoff, whom
pointed chief of the Russian forces m
Siberia and Manchuria. In' Harbin
there has-been wholesale looting in
the business district. The Chinese no-

i mg with British airmen Saturday.
II others were disabled and two veer
shot down by anti-aircraft guns, ac
cording to the British aviation com

to make landings inside their own
unes, in the prevailing bad weather.

MISSOURI'S CHIEF
W0ULDSH00T SPIES
Governor Gardner Opens Loan
Drive With Ringing Speech ;
Ceremonies Greatest
in History.
St. Louis, April 8. Declaring
that any person in the United States
"who has enjoyed the privileges of
our government and still has the
slightest pro-German feeling, should
be stood up against "a stone wall and
shot at sunrise," Governor Gardner
of Missouri, opened the Liberty loan
campaign in this state this afternoon
with an address at a celebration here.
The ceremonies, which were post
poned yesterday on account of rain,
were witnessed by what is believed to
have been the largest crowd ever
assembled in St. Louis.
In his address the governor said:
No Hyphens Now.
"There can be no half-hearted
allegiance at a time like this. A nro
German is a German spy and should
receive the same treatment at our
hands. If at any time I become con
yinced that there is in any community
in this state an organized movement
of these traitorous wretches, havine
tor its object the embarrassment of
the government in the prosecution of
the war. I shall declare martial law
in that community, suspend the con
stitutional privileges and order all
spies, pro-Germans and other enemies
of the republic tried by . court-mar
tial. If they be found cuiltv then.
it would mean that they face a firing
squad.
He who does not know what Gir-
man kultur means is either, a fool cr
knave, or both, and he Vho has en
joyed the privileges of our govern
ment and has the slightest pro-Ger
man leeling should be stood up by a
stone wall and shot at sunrise."
British Ship Men Protest
Argentina's New War Tax
London, April 8. Shipping in
terests have made strong representa
tions to the -British foreign office
against Argentina's new tax of about
50 cenrs a ton on all overseas vessels
entering Argentine ports. It is al
leged that the tax will be a heavy
burden upon cargo vessels sent to the
River Plate to carry away the 2,000
000 tons of wheat purchased there for
the allies.
CATHOLICS TO
BOOST FOR THE
LIBERTY BONDS
Father O'Sullivan, at St. Cecilia
Cathedral Designates This as
A Time for Good
Citizens to Act.
Russian Imperial Family
To Be Moved From Tobolsk
London, April 8. A Reuter's lim
ited dispatch from Moscow confirms
the report recently published in the
Petrograd newspapers that the Bol
sheviki government has decided to
remove the former imperial family
from Tobolsk to a town in the Ural
y mountains. This action is to be taken
because of the possibility of interna-
ronai compneat ions in Liberia.
Purchase of Liberty bonds was
urged by Father O'Sullivan at high
mass Sunday at St. Cecilia cathedral.
"It is tlfe duty of every good
Catholic and loyal American citizen
to give the third Liberty loan financial
support, and to bend all our energies
to promote its success.
Other Catholic churches of the city
are organizing to boost the loan in
their respective parishes. A com
mittee of women SJn St. Patrick's
parish will canvass each home for
subscriptions. A meeting of the com
mittee to discuss plans for the drive
will be called this week.
"Faith, Natural and Supernatural,"
was the subject of the sermon by
Rev. P. C. Gannon, pastor of St.
Patrick's church. ' "We all hare
natural faith. To believe what an
other tells us is to have faith. We
hear and read of every day occurances
in life, and we believe them, though
wc utvc nui.seen mem. mis is a
natural faith which we all possess.
A supernatural faith .'s that confiding
belief in what God has taught al
though our human minds may not
fully comprehend its inner meanings.
This is the belief which we must have
to attain salvation."
Two Sections of Nebraska
Have Oversubscribed Loan
Butler county has already surpassed
its quota in the sale of Liberty bonds
and is still going. Joe Shramek,
county chairman, telephoned state
headquarters in Omaha that the quota
of $65,300 has already been exceeded.
Merriam, Neb., went "over the lop"
at the meeting Saturday afternoon
and evening, when H. II. Lowell of
Omaha was the Liberty loan speaker.
The quota was $30,800 and the sub
scriptions totaled $46,000, in spite o:
the fact that bad roads prevented
many rich ranchers from attending
the meetings.

This Question Is Ever on the
Lips of the Afflicted.
Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, and
other terrifying conditions of the
skin are deep-seated blood diseases,
and applications of salves, lotions
and washes con only afford tempo
rary relief, without reaching the real
seat of the trouble. But just be
cause local treatment has done you
no good, there is no reason to despair.
You simply have not sought the prop
er treatment that is within your
reach.
You have the experience of others
who have Buffered as you have to
guide you to a prompt riddance of
blood. and skin diseases. No matter
how terrifying the irritation, no mat
ter how unbearable the itching and
burning of the skin, S. S. S. will
promptly reach the seat of the trou
ble and forever rout from the blood
every trace of the disease, just as it
has for others who have suffered as
you have. This grand blood remedy
has been used for more than fifty
years, and you have only to give
it a fair trial to be restored to per
fect health.
Our chief medical adviser is an au
thority on blood and skin disorders,
and he will take pleasure in giving
you such advice as your individual
case may need, absolutely without
cost. Write today, describing your
case to medical department. Swift
