Says Canadian Liberals Balk Conscription Di?atisfuetion of the liberal elenifiit iu Canada with the proposal of the ion.-en;i'u government headed by I'remier Horden to put conscription in prat tiee will precipitate another election in the dominion within the next six months, according to iJr. Thomas ()'llann, lobe trotter and literaturer, who yesf.-rday was honored with the decree of I I,. I), by Notre I)ame university. IVcncli nittcrly Opposed. "The Iarp;e I'reru h following of .c'ir Wilfred Iiurier are bitterly opposej to conscription at thbs time." aid Pr. 'Harran esterday afternoon. "This opposition in. due, not so mu -h to the fact that the FrenchCanadians are temperamentally oppose,! to the draft, but because they were not properly approached early! in the war. That too is the reason that they hae not volunteered for continental service in any sreat numbers. "These people." continued Dr. ("'Hasan, "should have been handled through their own French leaders. Instead the conservative English politicians attempted to stir up the necessary enthusiasm themselves; they failed sicnally. Now when the Horden government finds itself in a corner because of the pressing r.eed of fichtinc: men on the west front, it seeks to resort to conscription to fill the ranks." Canadians TurnMicd HM).m). Thus far the Canadian people have furnished only about 4 20.000 men to the allies. It had been Imped that under the volunteer system, they would send at least ."OO.OOö men. Failure to do so has brought ahout 1 '.onion's demand for the draft. 1-aurier claims that the matter of obtaining French-Canadian volunteers should now be placed in the hands of Frenchmen to pive the volunteer system another chance hefore conscription Is resorted to. Ir. fHaL-an declared that he did r.ot believe that the war would ho decided until America h id sent at j least a million men to the west , front.

Gibbons Says Divided State and Church Best A divided state and church are most fondurive to the hept interests of the i.ation said Cardinal James Cihbor.s at the hith school yesterday afternoon in an addiess to nearly 1,500 peop'e. Cardinal dibhons spoke for about 15 minutes. "In some irstanccs, where the church and the Mate were united, corruption was the result", said the cardinal, "but under our system in this country, the state helps the church, by Ki-.n Its protection, and the church helps the state by teaching the citizens the riht way to live, trachea by precept and by example. The government is not hostile to the church." This last statement he illustrated in several ways, calling attention to the fact that in eery presidential Inaugural address the power and help of (lod has not only been recognized, but called on to help the executive minister to the needs of the nation. He also mentioned the fact that Thanksgiving day is a national holiday, set aside by the government for religious purposes. In concluding. Carcimal CJibbons lamented the present war. but urged his hearers to do their best to make It a victory for the right cause, and exprcs.-ed the hope that when peace finally came. It would be a peace perpetual, that future differences between the nations would be settled by arbitration rather than by bloodshed. Rev. C. A. Lippincott introduced Cardinal (iibbons.

Claims Baltimore Feds in Dark About Peace Negotations
PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. Jure 12. Testifying in the 1 n s ;it of the Baltimore Federal league club against organized baseball, growing out of the peace agreement of December, 1 whereby the Federal league went out of existence, L. Edwin e;oblraan. a dire 'tor of th Baltimore t!ul. said hi cluh knew absolutely nothing about r.egot ations to put the league out of business until the peace agreement had been reached. He emphasized his denla! that the Raltimore club was consulted In the negotiations. The suit was brought under the Sherman and Clayton anti-tru?t laws, the Raltimore cluh charging that the agreement between the Federal Kauue and organized baseball was a violation of the anti-trust laws and tended to monopolize the business of baseball. The club also charges that the agreement disrupted the .'cd era 1 league and that th (dub suffered damage to the extent of ? ron, Odd. f,.r which, under the anti-trust laws, it is asking triple damages. Denies Signing Pia ers. Mr. Goldman, on direct examination, said th- Federal league signed lift players who were under contract with clubs in other leagues. n cros examination by Frank P. Priehard of Philadelphia, counsel for the American league, be explained the Federal Icilmi- did sign players who had reserve clauses in their contracts with the major leagues, because the Federals did not respect thfse clauses on the ground that they considered the in as illegal. After the Raltimore club h;'d learned of the peace agreement Mr. Goldman said Stuart S. Janny, a director in the club and chief counsel in the suit, went to New York to try to negotiate for major league lub in Raltimore. but was unsuccessful. George Wharton Pepper of counsel for the lug leagues in his opening statement, as to what the defense would hovv, declared that baseball was not a commercial business and did not come within .h federal anti-trust laws. Says lVav NYcev.iry. He also indicated there was no attempt to monopolize baseball by the major leagues. declaring that the program with the Federal league was made necessary to end a costly war and to restore public confidence iu the management of the national sport. David L. Fultz. president of the Players fraternity, was on the witness stand testifying to the operations of players' contracts, the reserve clause and release clause when court adjourned. There was every evidence today that the case would be bitterly fought. CRISIS DEVEL0PES IN ITALIAN CABINET PARIS. June 12. A crisis in the Italian cabinet has developed when least expected, only a few days before the reopening of parliament, i-et for June 14. For some time a disagreement between the member.of the cabinet had been known to exist. especially between Raron Sonnino, minister of foreign affairs, and the other ministers. The friction reached a climax when the members of the Italian mission were to be .selected. Then Raron Sonnino put his veto on tin appointment ot several persons whom the other ministers considered most suitable for the tatk and declared that he would resign if their appointment was insisted upon. Wishing to avoid a crisis iu such a grave moment ot the nation's history, the cabinet yielded to Sonnino's opinion. NORWAY TO SEND TRADE MISSION TO AMERICA WASHINGTON. June 12. American Minister Schmedeman. at Christiana, has otficially been informed that Norway is sending a trade mission to this country headed by Fridtjof Nansen, the Arctic explorer, which will discuss "questions of importation and exportation and inform this government of existing conditions in Norway."
