In connection with this point the im perial chancellor passed to a review of the political situation in the west.

Comment on Americans Washington, July 13. German news papers no longer able to ignore the presence of American trocps on tho west front, aro carrying out a syste! matio camouflage propaganda in an effort to quiet the growing apprehen sion felt in the central empires, accord ing to neutral cables today. . The recent announcement o,f Presi dent Wilson that more than a million Americans are in France has been scat tercel (broadcast through Germany and Austria by the neutral and enemy press, the cables stated. Forced to com- bat this, the German general staff has admitted it partially and is seeking to discount its Bignitwanee. Lven if the reports were ven- ified," writes the Nord Deutsche AH j'gemoino Zeatung, "there is no occasion itfor alarm, since it is only a question Kt 'improvised' soldiery." Other papers, however, are not hid ing their anxiety. The Munchener 'Neuste Nivharcsten confessed "that Ithe action of the United (States is far 1more rapid than anticipated and must 'impede tho success of German arms.' The Berliner Taseblatt m an arti 'elo signed by Theodore Wolff states that "American help lis augmenting ithe morale c,f the allies." PAEODY OF THE TTMES.

There 's just one little grain of comfort here in the suspension of the Pacific Coast league after tomorrow's games Los Angeles fans will get to Bee at least five mora games, as Vernoa and the An gels scrap it out for the pennant. This order was decided upon by the directors at a meeting last nighC Patriotism played an important part in the final session of the league mag nates hero last night at which the of ficial swan song was chanted. With players from Salt Lake, Vernon ami San Francisco clubs boinz summoned before draft boards under the work or fight order, it was deemed best to end the season and release the players for war work, than to fight for them by ap peals to higher authorities. "We did the only thing we could consistently do," stated A. T. Baum, president of the league today. "I know the public is interested in the game, but under present conditions I feel the fans will commend our efforts and wait in patience until the end of the war en ables resumption of the sport. I am sure it is due to come back stronger than ever." The meeting deciding upon suspension after tomorrow's games was attended by President Baum,, President Powers or the Angels, who also represented Knit T.nlrA. r-.il rnblnrl President Strub and Manager Graham mm of the Seals. Baum also represented Sacramento. Their session was Mort and to the point. The situation was familiar to oach director so only means of meeting it were discussed. Utrub favored an at tempt to finish the season with four clubs, dropping Salt Lake and Sacra mento. It was held by the others that this would bo impossible, bo a decision to end the season tomorrow night was quickly reached. " After the suspension had been agreed to it was decided that the league leader ship at issue between the two south cm clubs be decided by a series of nine gnm.es beginning here Wednesday.
