OF SALARIES Vice-President Ward Denies League Intends to Cut Down Roster New York, Dec. 14. Vice-President Robert Ward of the Federal league, who also ia chief owner of the Brooklyn Fed erals, announced Saturday that a meet ing of the executive committee of the league will be held in Chicago next Wed nesday. The executive committee con sists of President Roliertson of the Buf falo club. The purpose of the meeting la to deckle on a system of distribution of players when they are "captured" from the National or American leagues and to formulate plans which will make it impossible or and Federal league club owner in his eagerness for a winner, to overload his team with Btars. In a statement Ward denied that any action was taken at the recent Federal league meeting to cut down the roster of players and says that every player "who showed enough faith in the Fed eral league to desert so-called organized baseball will be protected to the end of his agreement, even though it necessi tates the carrying of high-salaried men on the bench and in coaching roles." There are many things learned from experience and observation that the old cr generation should impress upon the younger. Among them is the fact that scrofula and other humors, which pro duce eczema, boils, pimples and other eruptions, can be most successfully treat, ed with Hood's Sarsnparilla.

German newspapers which have just been received at The Hague show that the German press, al though prohibited strictly from criticiz ing any acts of the government during the war, is much displeased by the sud den change in the leadership of the Ger man military forces. They state that Count von Moltke has been "politely snie-traeked as chief of the general stair. nd that supreme command has been giv en to ' a war minister whose behavior to ward the Reichstag in the Zabern inci dent was insulting." In the short biographies of Major Gen eral von Falkenhayn which the newspa pers are permitted to print they refer in the most guarded way to what they term is failure up to the present time in the operations on the western front. "Von Falkenhayn was appointed temporary chief of the general staff on Oct. 25," says the lierliner Tageblatt. "lie, there fore, has held the position since the fall of Antwerp. During this period have oc curred the battles of the Yser and Dix- mude. In this serious time, therefore. Von Falkenhayn has been uniting all the functions which during the war of 1871) were divided between Von Moltke and Von Roon." Jt is intimated in these newspapers that there has been friction between tin- peror William and Count von Moltke owing to a difference of opinion concern ing the conduct of the campaign in the west, it being understood that while Von Moltke favored energetic operations against the French center, the emperor was stronglv inclined toward pushing the advance in the direction of lalais. As a result of this conflict of opinion, it is said, Count von Moltke retired to take the cure of Hoinhurg, being, however, in actual need of medical attention. General von Falkenhayn then continued the operations in Flanders under the di rection of the emperor with results which I ere described as not wholly pleasing to ! the Gorman public. Announcement was made five days ago that General von Falkenhayn would remain st the head uf the general staff, but that Count von Moltke might be given another mission. The plan of campaign of Count von Moltke, as originally outlined, was to ad vance on Paris as rapidly as possible, and this led to the swift movement toward the French capital by General von Kluck and General von Hansen in August and September, which was ended by the forced retreat to the positions now occu pied by the German in France. It is stated that friction between Kmperor William and Count von Moltke first oc curred at this time the emperor taking the ground that the move tactically was futile. Aftr the capture of Antwerp it was Von Moltke's desire, according to these reports, to concentrate efforts ujon the Verdnn-Tonl line, while the emperor, pointing to the possibility of an envelop ing movement by the allies or a break through th wedge which Von Moltke piuposcd to advance, favored the contin uation of operations against the forces of the allies in Flanders. This is the sit-j nation, it is now said, which finally led to Von Moltke's trip to Homburg and the installation of Von Fulkeuhavn as chief of the general staff.

Then the gallant commander of the Dresden, which was in the harbor, went to the rescue. Going ashore with his aids and a force of bluejackets and marines, he served notice on the Mexican federal authorities, then in control of Tampico, that unless the military forces ashore cleared the streets at once ho would rake them with shell. The Dresden lay ready with her guns primed and manned. Tho force of (iermans then assembled the American refugees and with the as sistance of the commander and men from the Hritish cruiser Hermione transferred all of tho Americans on board that ves sel and the Dresden.

England May Not Lay Down Any More Ships of That Class. (Correspondence of the Associated Press) London, Dec. 14. England probably never will lay down another dreadnought says one of the foremost shipbuilders fn this country, who for obvious reasons, cannot be quoted. All the dreadnoughts, according to this authority, which have lieen laid down will be rushed to comple tion, but no orders will be given for any more vessels of this type. This policy was under serious consideration when the Audacious went to the bottom and the recent loss of the Bulwark has only served to confirm the opinion that the battleship as a fighting craft is doomed. All new construction in the British shipyards consist of heavily-armed cruis ers of great coal carrying capacity, de stroyers and submarines. For 10 miles along the Tyne in coming into Newcastle the passengers on the boats cannot hear each other speak because of the din of steam hammers most of which are mak ing destroyers and submarines. When Sir Percy Scott expressed his doubts of the efficiency of the dread nought just after England had placed her seal on it a the premier lighting unit of naval warfare, his unorthodox; made him the strategic heretic of his time, but this war has come near to vindicating his theory, for thus far not a single success can lie placed to the credit of a dread- j nought, while the experimental, almost despised, submarine has won most of the naval laurels. 1 France is alxo reported as hurrying the construction of submarines, while Kussia is said to have aked for tenders on submarine of 2.000 tons. name. The plaintiffs in these suits demand $400,000 each as their share of the estate, and also set forth that $200,000 all that would be left of the money bequeathed by Mrs. Leslie to woman suffrage should be paid to Frank Leslie, 3d, and Arthur Leslie, also grandchildren of Frank Les lie, 1st. The petitioners allege that Mrs. Frank Leslie was entitled to only om- third of the $1,800,000 estate which she disposed of by will. Mrs. Leslie's will provided that the res idue of her estate be paid outright to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. Although she imposed no restrictions upon Mrs. Catt, she expressed in her will the hope that the money would be spent for advancing woman suffrage. REGALS Cost No More; They Give Better Service Regals have a large national sale, and lead in popularity with men. That means that they have merited the approval of men who discriminate between shoes and good shoes. It also means that because of the large pro duction, you get more for your money than you could get for the same price in most other shoes which are made in comparatively small quantities. All of these advantages tell when you wear Regals. $4.00 to $5.00 Moore & Owens, BARRE'S LEADING CLOTHIER? Barre, Vermont GOV. HUNT'S LAST PARDON. G0ETHALS ASKS FOR SHIPS.
