HICKEY AGAIN HEADS A. A.
'LetiiMlltp, Ky Pec. .". Kcncsnw
M. Landls, baseball commissioner, de
clined today le be drawn into n con
troversy with President Uan Jehnsen,
of the American League, because of
President Jehnsen's action in calling
the annual meeting of the league In Chi
cago en December 111, a day In advance
of the scheduled joint meeting of the
major leagues which Commissioner
Landls had scheduled for New Yerk
December 14.
Commissioner Landls declared that
in se far as he was concerned the joint
meeting would be held as scheduled, but
he was net prepared te say whether
the American League club owners would
participate. Itasehall leaders iwlnted
out that it would be impossible for the
American Leaguers te attend en the
date set because of their Chicago meet
ing. President Jehnsen. In announcing
the meeting for Chicago, said he could
see no reason for n joint meeting of the
major leaguers In New Yerk, ns no
subjects of importance were facing the
club owners of the two leagues.
"I can say this much," Commissioner
Lnnilis sniil tinliiv "I iu,iiin.i n ...ill i.....

dent Jehnsen announced the meeting of
the American League for Chicago enlv
nisi ween, jii se tar as J am concerned

a picturesque figure nt the National
Association Professional Hasebull
Icague s convention today. He np
ncured In the hotel lobby nursing a
bruised right-hand finger, due te ex
cessive golfing, and un hour after ilr
diluting among the major and miner
leaguers was obliged te stick his right
hand In his pocket te save it from fur
ther injury from ovcrzealeus band

is scheduled fur this afternoon, when

two .noted propagandists named Paul

the quivering flesh at every stroke, then
thrown Inte nn Inner prison cell te

It matters net whnt they did te pro

te knew that the old prison at Phlllppit
In the heart of Macedonia in the Far

hour that particular Jailer became

Must it require nn earthquake te

Relations With Europe; Franc
Te tli Editor 0 th L'vtnine Public Ltdeer!
Sir One editorial In your paper to
day has appealed te me se forcefully
that I have reread It several times, and
believe it forms the true basis of our
relations wltfc.Eurepe. The Inst para
graph sums It up: "Europe Is a
house. Take away Us inherited racial
hatreds and its terrible traditions of
fear and vengeance and it would net
be greatly unlike the United States In
Its essential needs and aspirations. The
interests nrtd the hopes of its plain
people -are virtually the same. Yet
Europe is divided against Itself new as
badly as it ever was divided before."
Frequently I have rend that Europe
is a commercial, industrial or economic
unit ns well as a geographical unit, and,
as you Imply, It was Lincoln who saw
se clearly that the United States, if
secession succeeded, would fall into the
same condition of sectional divisions
and animosities. But I de net believe
that the French could understand that
we might leek at France us a part of
Europe in the same way that California
is a part of the United States. Yet In
eitent of territory they are about
equal.
Perhaps the union of Europe Is near
er thnn ever and then financial and
economic necessity will triumph ever
inherited racial hatreds sooner thnn we
expect. The efforts of the great French
statesman visiting us te secure a spe
cial alliance with a fractional pnrt of
Europe de net appeal te me se much as
does the conclusion of your editorial.
Clemenceau may nssail ub for leaving
France In the lurch, but our natlenul
experience has taught uh that Europe
should be united und that it would
prove a peer service te attempt te guar
. Jl-un0.
antee disunion
The population of Europe is about
200,000,000. of which France lias 40,-
000,000. Consequently no alliance with
the United States would prevent France
from finally being displaced from her
present commanding military suprem
acy. Even new France complains of
being Isolated In Europe, deft in the
lurch, arid with such complaint justice
requires us te have no sympathy. As
France continued te bar Germany and
Itussla from the League of Nations,
the League became an alllunce of victors
against the vanquished. If Germany
and Russia had been admitted, then the
scheme of President Wilsen might hnve
been a stepping stone toward n United
States of Europe. That is ale what
Lloyd Geerge tried te make of it by
frging the admission of these countries,
tut France would net nltew It, and
punished him In Turkey for his friend
ly overtures toward the enemies of
France. That is what wrecked the
League.
We may expect nothing from France
in the way of a reconciled Europe until
dire economic necessity nnd political
isolation compel her te take the level
which her population nnd size "entitle
her. If she attempts any military ag
gressions with her large army, no na
tion in Europe except Belgium will side
with her. Her army is an anachronism.
Yet as you say, ''Americans who ills
nerec with French policy de net dis
agree with the French people," nnd
there is nothing te suggest that our
sympathies with France hnve been
broken. II.
