THE DAILY BR 11'1SH WHIG p-- + ------ PAGE FOURTEEN F ee ---- m-- ------ FOR THE ST. LAWRENCE AMA- TEUR BASEBALL LEAGUE. Kingston Teams Cannot Devote Much Time to Play as Other Teams Whose Players Are Able to Holi- | day All Summer. The ¢ m Lo _ ball League executive niet on Friday at Gananoque to draw up a schedule for the summer. Representatives Were present from Alexandria Bay, Clayton,, Gananoque and Kingston Brockville had no representative pre- Sent as its team were holding a meet- ing of their own to decide how many games a week they could play. Much difficulty was experienced in arranging the schedule The teams from the other towns can play five games a week while Kingston's two teams are composed entirely of Kingston boys who are unable to leave their work so often. Kingston teams can only play three or four times a week, twilight games on Wednesday and Friday and a game fon Saturday afternoon, with probably one game a week away. While one team plays at home the other will probably be playing elsewhere. Clay- ton plays at Kingston Wednesday, June 23rd, and Alexandria Bay plays dn Brockville Saturday, June 26tn. July 1st Clayton plays at Ganan- oque, while Alexandria Bay plays in Kingston. The schedule is not yet ready for publication as it still requires some revision. % Financial assistance is heeded for the Kingston teams if they are to compete successfully with the other teams. The collections on the open cricket field are not sufficient to meet the heavy expenses of travel- lihg and equipment. Kingston has two teams to support and the fans | should help along the good work. TO MEET IN TORONTO The Oddfellows Refuse to Go to the Soo Next Year.

Careful Analysis of Main Outlines of Teutonic Policy Which Desires to Exert Strong Influence In Newly- Organized 'State -- Berlin Has Use of Neighbor. IRCUMSTANCES alter cases. The present paesition of Po- land is very different from ! what was foreseen by Presi- | dent Wilson, Mr. Lloyd George and M. Clemenceau last June. Its safety | within the frontiers fixed for it by the Treaty of Versailles was admit- tedly dependent on the capacity of the League of Nations to uphold the rights of the weak and on the com- plete disarmament of Germany. Can Poland's access to the sea be regard- ed as secure now, in face of a great i German army and the doubts which | overhang the future of the league? Of the dangers which threaten Poland from the East and the West that from Germany is infinitely the greater. There is no reason to sup- pose that, if the Poles are given suf- ficient munitions and equipment for their army, they will not be able to repel the Boishevists, but the Ger- man menace is not one which can be met by armed force. The German aims toward the east were made suffi- ciently clear by the von der Goltz and Bermont affair. Though that ad- venture failed, they still hope to use Russia as a colony and as soil in which to develop their ambitions for world power, and Poland comes into their scheme. It is not for nothing that they call it a "Saisonstaat." The strong men, | | who, with or without the Govern- | ment, control the fortunes of Ger- | many to-day, the chiefs of the mili- tary caste and the great capitalists | do not intend that it shall exist for more than a season as an indepen- { dent state. The plan is to prevenat it from ever becoming strong, except under German influence. Poland is to be a stepping-stone to Russia. In pursuance of this policy half a dozen new railway lines were planned and partly built. A new scheme for reorganizing the railway station at Warsaw for the speedier handling of goods traffic was thought out. The Vistula and the Bug were surveyed with an eye to their developmmxt for barge trafic; the prospects were found good, and docks were started at Plock and other places. On the other hand, the Lodz textile mills and hundreds of other factories were stripped of all their most valuable machinery, the Germans openly avowing their intention of squashing these possible rivals. The general lines of this policy are still being held in view. The consoli- dation of Poland as a state is to be prevented in every possible way. Every opportunity is to be taken of encouraging strikes, communist agi- tation, and political squabbles as a means to this end. At the same time; it the Poles can be induced to accept the help of German experts to or- ganize their country, advantage is to be taken of the opportunity to estab- lish German influence in Poland as strongly as it was established in Rus- { Sia" when the war broke out; the Prussian 'officials in Posnania were openly encouraged to remain at their ! posts for this purpose. . The Prussian Poles are to bé dis- couraged and discontented by having every flaw and yeakness in the Pol- Ish methods of" administration held under their noses and contrasted with Prussian efficiency. The Polish mar- ket is to be flooded with products of German manufacture, and German capital if to be skillfully used to} establish controlling inflence in every big enterprise that the Poles may undertake. Motor cars, agricultural machinery and every sort of manufactured goods, from airplanes to fountain pens, are now being effected in Po- | land by Germans at prices at least | 60 per cent which Entente The comparatively favorable rate of exchange beween Polish, and German marks of course helps the German. It is to his advantage that the Polish currency should stay so low that/the Poles cannot afford to tuy from Eng- land, France or America, and there is a good deal of evidence that the mar- ket has been manipulated by German agents with this object in view. The way in which the German authorities have persistently hinder- ed the Poles from enjoying free use of Danzig for imports and exports, and the careful steps they have taken to remove from the port everything to the poles (ajl in defiance of the terms of the treaty) are just one more example of Ger- man determination to prevent Poland from developing normally. - The wretched Poles are to be shepherded into making a ress of their country, and then, when t -y are quite help- less, the Prussian will step in and run it for them. It will be impossible for the Poles to set aside every official who served Austria or every man who collabo- rated with the Germans in the king- dom from 1916 to 1918, but both Poland and her allies must beware of the danger which lies in seeking help from an enemy. It must be admitted, however, that only too often there are initial advantages to | be won for Poland by looking to Ger- many. The Allies waste months in deciding whether Poland's demands | are justified, how they can be met, | and who is to meet them. The Allies | have friends in Poland who will sup- i port their connection with Poland | through thick and thin rather than risk dependence on , but | there are others, equally opposite. -- { | person be punished | for something he hasn't done?" | Teacher--"Of course not."
