JOHNSON FAVORS NEW RULES
Chicago, July 7. President B. B.
Johnson, of tfce American League,
would give the batter two bases when
ever he is hit in the head by a pitched
ball, instead of one base as at present
in order to deter pitchers from intimi
dating the batsman. In a statement
made public here to-day he disagrees
with the suggestion recently made by
President Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn
National League Club that a batsman
be given his base anytime the pitcher
tries, in the opinion of the umpire, to
hit the batter in the head. He thinks
the Ebbetts' plan would only add to
the troubles of the umpire, and would
lead to more wrangling.

THE NEW PRESIDENT OF CHINA
Ii Yuan-Hung, the new President of
the Chinese Republic in succession to
Yuan Shih Kai, had been Vice-Presi
dent for three years, but during al
most all that period had been held a
virtual prisoner at a palace in the Red
City. Yuan's excuse was that he
might want to consult him and desir
ed to have him at hand. In truth.
Yuan himself, after the attempt to
assassinate him, two j-ears back, never
left the confines of the Palace, save
for his two excursions to the Temple
of Heaven, whither he went to wor
ship in the name of China as the Em
parors had done for centuries. Li was
born in Hupeh in 1864. He is a man
of medium powers. He served in his
youth in the navy and»later in the cav
alry. He spent two years in studying
fortifications. He has been a Repub
lican at heart. On the outbreak of
the Revolution against the Manchu
Emperors, he was given command of
the revolutionary forces. After the
Imperial abdication he was made a
General and elected Vice-President.
His advancement to the Presidency
has been without incident. The coun
try appears to accept him. He was
probably telling the truth when he
told his fellow Hupeh men that he
had no desire to accept the Presidency
in case Yuan stepped out; it required
a man of the highest ability. This
modest conception of his own powers
pleases his fellow countrymen. In his
seclusion it was given out that every
day he read a thousand words ip the
Ching Kang Chlng, a famous Buddist
scripture. In it, he says, he finds
rest and peace.
THE WOMEN'S TRAINING CAMP
These days mere men can claim lit
tle as belonging exclusively to his own
sex, for society women have affected
mannish neckties, his collars and his
cuffs, with the tips of turned-up trou-'
sers peeping beneath skirts as the last
defiance. Following the popularity of
training camps for tne citizen soldiery,
along came Washington society wo
men, from the rosebud debutante to
the elderly matron or national promi
nence, in attendance at a camp for
women suggesting soldierly training.
In this camp assembled real femi
nine "rookies" in slouch hats and
khaki. They came for outdoor exer
cise and physical betterment, as well
as to learn nursing and other services
useful In emergencies. Incidentally
they had adventures and a good time.
It was a jolly lot that "fell in" each
day for drill, and they made a most
impressive martial appearance, indi
cating that those who challenge the
rights of suffrage to women because
they are unequal to military service
could right here witness the demon
stration that exploded their argument,
and that the bugle call has a fasci
nation for women as well as the drum
and cymbals of the tango.—"Agaiis
at Washington," Joe Mitchell Chappie,
ih National Magazine for June.
BAPTISTS WANT I JAY-PRESII)ENT
Chicago, July 7. —The contest over
the presidency of the Baptist Young
People's Union of America grew
warmer when the convention opened
for the morning session here to-day.
The opposition to a pastor-president
became more pronounced as the ad
vocates of the lay-president plan in
the nominating commtttee declared a
growing conviction that the highest
denominational efficiency would be in
duced only under the executive guid
ance of the laiety.

FALL OF A MIGHTY
CHAMPION WRESTLER
Just as the might John L. Sullivan
yielded to' Corbett, the latter to Jef
freys, followed by Johnson's retire
ment and the reign of Jess Wlllard,
so In Japan the rule of the mighty
Tachlyama, emperor of wrestlers for
five years, has come to a close.
Breathless excitement was aroused,
says a Tokio paper, at the Koluigik
wan at Ryogoku when Tachiyama,
the champion of the west side, who
has never been defeated in the past
five years, was beaten by Tochigiyama
of the east side. v S;nce Onishiki, an
other champion on tno east side, was
defeated by Tachiyama on the pre
vious day, Tochigiyama was the only
east side representative who had any
possibility of defeating the ever-voc
torious Tachigiyama during this sea
son. The public showed so much In
terest In the program, in which Tach
iyama was to comoat with Tochigi
yama, that the big hall was packed,
j Tochiglyamu's victory was so complete
that not the slightest complaint was
heard from His opponent. Supporters
of the victorious athlete of the east
side were overjoyed and the excite
ment did not cease for a long time.

Americans Have Endured
as Heavy Shell Fire as
Germans Ever Gave
By Associated Press
British Headquarters, France, July
7.—American citizens have seen hotter
fighting in the last two weeks than any
American since the Appomatox cam
paign. They have endured as heavy
shell Are as the German guns ever di
rected at he British front and know
what it was to charge into the Ger
man trenches with bayonet and bomb
in pouring rain through the mud in
the small hours of the morning.
There are more Americans scotter
ed among the Canadian battalions
than most people realize. Some of these
were living in Canada when the war
began; some crossed the border and
enlisted .for the sake of being in a
"scrap"; some felt it a duty to strike
a blow for the Allies.
If a man took the oath and put on a
uniform a Canadian recruiting officer
agent did not ordinarily bother, if he
were a sound man, which side of the
border he came from. Besides, the re
cruit sometimes had a bad memory
on that score himself. "What part of
Canada are you from?" a British of
ficer asked a Canadian private.
"Out West, sir."
"What part of the west?"
"The Far Weet, sir."
"What part I asked. Haven't you
learned yet to give a definite answer
to an officer's Question?"
"Spokane, sir."
"Where is that, in Manitoba?"
"In that neighborhood, sir."
After a man has been wounded
the truth is more likely to come out.
After an examnation of a bad Jaw
fracture the surgeon said to one
wounded American:
"You've a bad smash, but we shall
pull you through and fix you up as
good as new."
"Are you giving It to me straight?"
was the feeble question.
"Yes, you can depend on it."
"Well, if that's the dope and no
kidding I wish you'd write to my moth
er out in Ohio and tell her."
Those who were looking for a scrap
frankly admit they have had it. No
one quest-ions how they stood up to it
along with their Canadian camrades.
Nor are they all privates. Three of
ficers who were killed in the retaking
of Observatory Hill were Americans.
LONDON PAPERS HIGHER
By Associated Press
London, July 7.—Penny (two cents)
newspapers have been advanced a
half penny (one cent) and half pen
ny papers to one penny in a large
number of towns outside of London.
This was fotlnd necessary because of
the Increased price of print paper ma
