CHICAGO, Aug. 20—Mrs. Earl Spencer of this city has four sons and two daughters in active war service and her one regret is there are not more. Her eldest son is Lieut. E. Winfield Spencer, in com- mand of the United States Aviation School in Squantuma, Mass. Lieut.

LONDON, Aug. 20.—An Athens dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Co. says that among the diplomatic documents found in Athens since the change in Government is a dispatch of former King Constantine written a few days after the war began in re- sponse to a message from Emperor William, who proposed Greece should range herself on the side of the cen- tral Powers. Corstantine said in his reply: “The Emperor well knows my per- sonal sympathies, as well as my po- litical opinions attract me to his side. Nevertheless it is impossible for me to understand in what manner I could be useful to him in mobilizing my army. The Mediterranean is at the mercy of the united fleets of England and France, which could destroy our navy and merchant ma- rine, occupy our islands and prevent concentration of my army. Without being useful in any particular we would be wiped off the map. I am necessarily of the opinion neutrality is imposed upon us.’ 'GottHeb von Jagow, then German Secretary; “reptied “Em péror William would understand the neces- sity of maintaining neutrality for the present. He advised Constantine to reach an understanding with Sofia and Constantinople. SOLDIER WHO SHOT HIMSELF OVER ‘FANCIED’ WRONGS DIES First Regiment Officcrs Reported Elmer J.

The arrest of the couple here was the culmination of an attachment between the beautiful wife of Alf Marshall, chief assistant City Comp- troller of Nashville and prominent in State politics, and Robertson, wealthy business man, Colone! on the Governor's staff and politician. - Marshall once wen tto Robertson’s home to kill him. Robertson, on his knees, begged for his life, and Mar- shall spared him. , Wife and Man Confronted. That was last March. Rumors which Marshal had at first refused to believe had become so persistent that he had to take cognizance of them. He drove to Jackson in his automob¥Y and, in Robertson’s ho- tel room he confronted Robertson, according to his story to the St. Louis police, and said: “You have broken up my home. I have come to kill you.” Robertson, on his knees, protested his innocence and asked to be con- fronted with Mrs. Marshall. Marshall took him in his automobile and drove back to Nashville, nearly 200 miles, arm reached his home at 11 o’clock at. night. Marshall, sen of Robertson, téla° his wife all the things that he had heard, Mrs. Marshall told him he was silly te believe what he had heard.

Couple Found Chatting. Marshall and Mrs. Robertson were with the detectives who entered the hotel room 10 minutes after Mrs. Marshall had registered. They found Mrs. Marshall and Robertson sitting on the edge of the bed chatting, but there was no scene. Marshall had promised the detectives that he would control himself and Mrs. Rob- ertson heeded the detectives’ admoni- tions to remain calm. Mahshall and Mrs. Robertson had been aware for some time, it seerns, of an attachment between tobert- son and Mrs. Marshall. Recently Marshall gave his wife ‘noney to take a trip to Denver but had her watched by rrivate detectives. Whils she was gone, it is said, Robertson promised his wife that he wouid have nothing further to do ‘vith Mrs Marshall. But both she and Mar- shall learned that Robertson was to meet Mrs. Marshall at St. Louis on her return from Denver. Marshall came to St. Leuis, ac- companied by Corbitt, and ‘ha’? two detectives assigned to meet and shadow Robertson on his érrival. Mrs. Robertson, when her husbani boarded a Pullman for St. Louis, slipped inzo the day coach :ind came along. - ' At Union City Mrs. Robertson wired the St: Louis police to have detectives m¥et her at Union Station, describing herself as wearing a blue silk dress, a black hat and a yellow rose in her dress.

The men have been ordered to send their hand baggage and personal be- longings home, but Col. Lowe said today that this did not necessarily mean that the regiment will depart immediately. Its destination will be Fort Sill, Ok. The delay in moving the Fifth to Nevada is attributed to absence of miess equipment and to the quaran- tine regulations, smallpox having ap- peared in the Sixth Regiment, en- camped at Nevada. Gen.

CANADIAN IN FRANCE, Aug. 20.—(By the Can- adian Press, Limited)—The fiercest . engagement on the Canadian front since the beginning of the war is gradually coming to a triumphant end by the exhaustion of the enemy. Since the capture of Hill 80 and St. Laurent on Wednesday morning, the Canadians defending their newly won positions, have been compelled to stand by almost without cessation to meet counter attacks. The leaders of the German troops are utterly re- gardiess of the lives of their men, and as soon as one division has spent itself in a frantic and futile effort to recover the lost ground, another is sent forward to the sacrifice. The Fourth Guards were cut to pieces in yesterday's counter attacks, and during the night a new division, the 220th, was brought up. Passing through their own lines without stopping. these fresh troops attacked at 4:30 o'clock Saturday morning on the Bois-Hugo sector, north of Hill 7%. The attack was accompanied by a projection of enemy liquid fire and gas. Our artillery turned an effect- ive barrage upon the Germans, which caused heavy losses, but they con- tinued to advance with the Retond At a close distance South of St..Laurent the enemy penetrated our first line trench, but were driven out again as the result ofa counter attack. In these des- pérate struggles there has been much vune of the rifle, bayonet and bombs. “The prisoners now number more ger ewe PORTER FINDS $200,000 CHECK IN WALL ST, “Wasn't Yndbirecd, bu but He Thought for It.

LONDON, Aug. 1°.—When Poter Clark, a Newcastle striker, threw bread on the fire his wife reported him. Clark was” giveg a anonth’s imprisonment for wasting bread. Two of his childrem gave evidence. aad | as quickly as possibie. the Civil Serv- ice Commission was confronted with problems which, owing to industria! conditions prevailing, have proved to be difficult of solution. Not the least of these has been the task of keeping pace with the demand for stenogra- phers and typewriters, both in the departments and offices at Washing- ton and in field branches. Even in normal times a sufficient number of qualified stenographers and typewriters to méet the needs of the Government are not easy to ob- tain. That the Civil Service Com- mission has been able thus far to meet the greatly increased calls for eligibles has been due to the fact that from the beginning of the al- tered conditions the commission has | conducted a campaign which has em- ployed every available agency to im- | ~press upon the public this need of the | Government: Business schwols, type- writer manufacturing companies, newspapers and periodicals, and the commission’s 3000 local representa- ‘tives in every part of the country, have rendered most valuable assist- ance. Examinations Every Tuesday. | Stenographers and typewriter ex- |aminations for the departmental service at Washington are held every , Tuesday in 400 of the principal cities. | Examinations for the field service also are held frequently. Since the beginning of this calendar year the commission has examined approxi- mately 20,000 applicants for stenog- rapher and typewriter positions. Of this number, about 11,006 competed in examinations for the departmenta! service at Washington. Practically all of those who passed the examinations for the departmental! service, except those who entered the more recent examinations, have been offered em- ployment at salaries ranging from $900 to $1200 a year. The increasing difficulty experi- enced in supplying stenographer and typewriter eligibles has convinced the Civil Service Commission that the remedy lies in encouraging a great number of men and women to take up the study of stenography and typewriting, with the view of en- tering the Government service when --~» thall have qualified in the com.

She awas studying music when the break with the United States came and was not required to leave the country. She finally departed because she had grown weary of the pr ivations, By MARIE BONNI BROWN. 66 F I only had what I know is being put into our garbage can at home,”’ | was my wish for long months before I left Germany, so hungry was I. : Since I have come back to America, I have heard a number of peopie say that Germany never will be brought to her knees through hunger. t ‘‘starva tio Perhaps she will not, but if she doesn’t, and her presen diet’’ is continued, it will take three generations for Germany to come 04 ek gars who:come to your door beg for a bit of bread. They do not dream of asking you for money. Children watch you wistfully when you are carrying home your portion. It is heartbreaking to see the hun- gry little faces and eyes. Old men an dwomen, too feeble to work, too feebie to stand in line for hours for bread as those who get it must do, totter along the streets, fairly faint- ing in their tracks. The suffering be- cause of hunger is heartrendering. Yet, through it ali, though they murmur against the aKiser, thougn they speak. wishfully for the days when peace shall come, though they speak regretfully of the days when plenty lad upon their land like a of comfort and protection, yet the German people are united in their loyalty to the fatherland. Not only food is restricted and high in price, but clothes are, as well. When I was leaving Berlin I wanted anew suit, as I had only one. I went to the office where I had to get a per- mit to buy every article of clothing I needed and asked for permission to buy a new suit. The woman in charge asked me how long I had had the one I was wearing. I told her. “It looks good yet,” she said, “and you can do with it.”’ ‘ “But I am leaving Berlin,” I told her, “and I want a suit to travel in.” || —ESTABLISHED 1873— St. Louis Representatives Pianos & Players 1007 OLIVE STREET ‘velvety.

We picked it and cleaned it. and, early Sunday morning put it on to boil. We boiled it three hours and then it seemed no softer than when we be- gan. Then we put it ‘n the stove and roasted it two hours. W etried tc eat it, but we turned against it. The meat was black, tough, aad had a horrible strong taste. We never again tri¢d to eat crow.

I knew, at the very time that I was going hungry there was enough left over from every meal at my home table to more than feed me. I have learned a les- son against waste. I could not throw away a crust of bread now. I would stop to think of how I wanted it when I did not have it. Had I not had a generous supply of money with me, I simply would have starved. But many an extra egg and portion of butter have I managed té get by pay- ing for it, what would have bought 20 times as much in the United States.

When I bought the suit I paid 500 marks for it—that is over $100 for it —that is, in America, I could have bought it for $25 or less. Blouses which cost $15 there could be bought here for $3. A hat which I paid $15 for could be gotten here for $5. I was treated no differently than the German women in the matter of permission to buy clothes. / Paper Very Scarce. I was allowed two pairs of shoes a year, three pairs of stockings; two nightgowns, three suits of under- wear and a limited number of hand- kerchiefs and gloves. I paid $40 for a pair of shoes once, and they were not i nstyle at that. I had to furnish my own bed linen and towels in the boarding houses where I stopped for a short time. And I had to wash them—and that, sometimes, without either hot water or soap. If a woman wants a white linen skirt she must get special permission to buy it. And under no conditions can she purchase more than her al- lotment of necessary wearing ap-, parel. Here, in America, we have no idea of the scarcity of things there. For instance, there is practically no pa- per. We never got things wrapped up. We would not have dared to ask for paper and string. We took boxes or baskets wit us to the stores and carried the articles we purchased in them. Bread was put in the basket without wrapping. When I came away I cuuld nut get tissue paper to pack my trunk. I was not permitted to bring with me any paper, soap or meial of anv kind—I had to leave even my elec- tric iron there, as well as perfume, medicines, rubber of any kind or clothes that I had not already worn. There are only four big rewspa- pers in Berlin now and, insteud of a regular paper. as we used to x2, the newspapers now are only two sheets and indifferently printed a2: that. The supply of ink is row an] what they do have is of an inferior quality. One reason for the strict censor- ship of newspapers I believe is that the officers in charge of the city are only too glad to suppress any newspaper for.a short time, as that means @ little more paper on hand. The German Babics. The little babies in Gertaany are a puny lot. It is no wonder, for io woman there can bear a normal child under the conditions in which she ‘has to live. sl have seen prex- nant wome.,: going around with deep hollows in their cheeks an’ dark starvation rings around their eyes, so weak they scarcely coul.i stand. The ‘“‘war brides,” too, are a pitiful lot. The Government stopped thes” last-hour marriages, as it was found that the women and babies vere too great a charge. Very few wome) could afford to keep their babies with them. The babies all were put into homes and the women worked along the best they could. The ‘‘war brides’’ who really were patriotic in their wish to bear sons for Germany, rued their bargain, many of them, for the children they brought into the world are more of a care than a comfort. Thousands of them will be permanent invalids —few will be strong, healthy, norma! boys and girls. But, even at that, the Government is making a des- perate effort to save all the boys it can. In eBrlin there are no young men, of course, only old men, cripples and very young ‘children. The boys are put out on the farms to work. Many Wounded Men. The city os full, too, of soldiers maimed and crippled in horrible ways. Our own porter had had a bullet go through both cheeks,’ tak- ing the roof of his mouth with it. I saw men every day with noses shot away; half their faces gone, eyes, ears, legs and arms gone, wreched wrecks of humanity. And many of the people expect a seven years’ war. They do not look for a speedy close, although they profess to believe in an _ ultimate German victory. The majority now are content to get peace and keep their own coun- try intact without adding to Ger- man possessions. Just before I left Berlin I had be- gun to hear many gnurmers of a coming war with Austria. One Ger- man officer with whom I had a short , “This war—why this is nothing." “Well Ithink it is terrible,’’ I said. “Yes,” he said, “It is bad enough, but the real war will come when this war is over and Austria and Ger- many fight—that may be a war which wil end only in the extermin- ation of one or the other.”’ And his smile showed his confi- dence as to where Germany would be found at the end of it.

There are several skirts of tulle, each edged with tiny orange blossoms. There is a train of satin beneath the one of lace, both falling from the shoulders, and the tulle veil, which is not very full, is arranged under a most wonderful headdress made of Sprays of orange blossoms radiating from the hair into rathef broad Wings at the side.

CANADIAN LOSES ARM BUT HE DELIVERS MESSAGE AND DIES CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. 20.—(By the Cana-| dian Press, Limited).—One of the most heroic deeds put on record in the Canadian corps since the war began is that of a runner of Col. Ormonder’s Alberta battalion. The company to which he was attached was hotly engaged near chalk pits and he was given a message to take back to the battalion headquarters - over ground on which shells were falling continuously. . He had not gone far when he was seen to fall, and another runner was at once sent out with a duplicate message. The second messenger was killed, but two hours afterward the first one arrived at battalion headquarters with his left arm blown off near the shoulder. His wound was been roughly dressed in the field and the messen- ger, far spent from loss of blood, had then staggered on. He was re- moved dying. Indigestion.

Bell, Olive 6600 Kinloch, Central 6600 REED’S WARFARE. ; Senator James A. Reed has declared war on the | Government on account of Hoover and the food ° control law. We can see no other meaning in a letter he is sending out to the country with a speech containing a bitter assault on Food Ad- minstrator Hoover for his action in taking con- trol of the wheat market, In his letter calling attention to his speech, Senator Reed says: It seems to me the interests of the farmer are being seriously jeopardized. His market has been destroyed. : Ha is at the merey of one man. Is it not the business of all men and news- papers interested in the farmer’s welfare to give attention to the present situation? I venture to inclose some remarks I made in the Senate which you may possibly find of in- terest. The speech accompanying the letter charges Hoover with bad faith and practically with hav- ing conspired with foreign Governments to ob- tain control of American food markets and with the contention—but - we. . pass the fact along. for what it is worth., When a man wants. to get at the truth of what is of interest to him he goes first to an old friend upon whomi he can depend, and the public has no better friend than the hon- est; reliable... diligent, serviceable newspaper of his own community. ‘== rr VOLUNTEERING POR THE WAE. A ruling at. Washington makes it plain that reg- istered men Who wait until called up for examina- tion lose the privilege of volunteering in the navy. Men registered have a right to offer themselves for all branches of the service up to the time they are summoned before the board. After that they may not offer themselves for the navy and naval officers are instructed to reject them. However, while its enlistments may be some- what restricted in the future, the navy has already made a truly-remarkable record in the effective- ness of its appeal for men. Figures are printed showing that since. April I no less than 140,000 have volunteered for the navy, 25,000 for the naval reserve and 10,000 for the “naval militia. This by setter? service.

He. calls the law “a crime against liberty.” The public should bear in mind in consider- ing the meaning and purpose of Senator. Reed’s conduct in appealing to the people, particularly, the farming element, against, the law that has not been tried; that Mr. Hoover has done nothing more than organize the wheat, flour and baking. interests for co-operative action in assuring all in- terests fair dealing—a fair price for wheat and unteering. The ‘vohintary enlistments for all branches of military ‘and auxiliary service are re- justifiably cited as a suffictent answer to a charge of indifference toward the war and the country’ s need for men. When it is considered that this number represents a much. larger total of all persons who Offered’ themselves, a~ considerable percentage being rejected because of physical de- tude toward the war is gained.. Volunteering is still continuing at a rate show- ported to nuthber more than 800, 000.

Food Administrator H.:C. Hoover directs atten- tion to one of the oldest’ and most familiar phe- nomena of markets. In addition to their other large price increases since the opening of the war, the big bakers raised the price of the loaf.about 100 per cent on the basis of the $3 and $3. 20 ‘price’ of wheat some months ago. Since then wheat prices have gone down about 33 per cent, but there has been no ‘corre- sponding” decrease -in the price of loaves. . The of the coal Arade, ‘have been ‘remorseless in pick- ing the bones of the unfortunate consumer.

LINE. It would be interesting to know what explana- tion German bureaucrats ‘can give of the -situa- tion in Hamburg, in view of reiterated official re- ports that speak so optimistically of food condi- tions in the empire. Danish figures compiled ‘from German sources show that approximatély ‘200,000 people of Ham- burg are fed daily in the municipal soup kitchens. This is exclusive of the number of school chil- dren and factory employes ae are also fed at public expense. : Hamburg before the. wee. had a population of | about 800,000. It is reasonable to suppose that the figure has been lowered by the draft upon the city for soldier8 and by the fact that the death rate is 30 per cent more than the birth rate. This means that not less,than one out of four of its people is eating the war bread.of indigence. The city is not only the foremost German in- dustvial municipality, but, ordinarily, is the sec- ond in all Europe. Most of its factories have been employed in the manufacture of war supplies. One would naturally expect to find the condition of the |’ workingman there better than in any other of the Kaiser's cities. sa Existing conditions, bad. as they are, are said to have improved greatly since the summer veg- etable season begafi. That season is near its end. If there are. 200,000 daily patrons of its soup — at this time of’ comparative plenty, how will there -be when cold weather :comes? “ APA AN Oe, s tty meen * - Sweets, Cape «Suche aa keteegnee ve babar a ineyie ste pie ing — Ss ae _ a ae NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING. It is with becoming grace and modesty that we welcome the belated discovery of national adver- tisers that they get better results from buying newspaper space than from investing in the cost- ly printer's ink of certain national publications which appeal to the readers of’ light fiction. We knew it all the time, but are =. to. have them find it out. Inquiries frem 111 librarians in as many citi show that there is a declining interest in fiction magazines and 96 per cent of them report a cor- responding increase in newspaper reading. The war doubtiess has a good deal to do with that, but it is an old experience that progress never retrogrades—meaning by this all due respect to the magazines. One firm of national advertisers has deter- : mined to concentrate its publicity (it sells auto- is facing a new | mobiles) in newspaper advertising, because, as Cabinet all gems abho ‘its house organ says, “we believe the sélling pow- er is now in newspaper advertising, and we want to concentrate most of our attention upon this | medium.

Sallie knew that it was her rigid practice of economy and thrift that had put her husband on the high- way to wealth; and yet she knew that she might as well! talk to the air as to ask him again to buy a piano. She lay awake long into the night, indeed so late that she heard Pearl's soft feet pattering acrosa the floor to peer out the window when John passed after eleven. “I'll do it,” Sallie said to herself and went to sleep. Next morning she announced thai she was going to St. Louis to visit a sister. When she arrived there she went at once to the largest pian» house in the city. After having been shown dozens and dozens of beauti- ful instruments, and with her head dizzy with the sound of exyuisite bits of melody; she was escorted to the street by none other than the n.an- ager. himself. Saia he: ‘Yes, Mra. Smith, I'll be there. Leave it all to me.” In a few days Sallie returned home. A week later, when the fam- ily was about to sit down tw the noonday meal, a wagon was driven to their g and the driver calle and asked J? he might have dinner with them. “You say you've got a piano for Jim Judkins?” asked Bud. “I can't understand why he would want on- other one. He's got the fin>st one in,\the country.” ‘Well this is a finer one. I am told that his daughter i+ the moat accomplished musician in the cour- try,”” sauvely said the visitcr. Bud answered sharply “well now, I wouldn’t put it so strong. Pear! here, now few can beat her at playin’.”’ ‘That so?” questioned their vis- itor. “I wish I might hear her.” After the meal was ove: :3ud in- sisted that Pearl “render’’ a piecc on the organ. “Sounds good,” “Say, Miss Pearl. wagon and try that Judkins piano.” Pearl! climbed into the wagon, the covers were lifted ard swon the strains of “Falling Waters” wus in the air. Bud gazed srell-bvour:] and when she had finished he slapped his knees and exclaimed, “fire fine. Now give us ‘Annie Laurie:’ ”’ This so touched him that he closed his eyes in pure ecstasy. Bud finally walked around the wagon three times examining the beautiful instrument. ‘What did you say old Judkins would have to pay for this?” ques- tioned Bud. “Six hundred and fifty,” placidly announced the city man. ‘“That’s aplenty, but say, I can write a check for that. I'd like mighty well to have that very piano. I'll tell you why.” He lowered his voice. “It’s Pearl's secret and I’m sort of lettin’ the cat out of the bag. John Redsing that’s been coming to see our Pear! for nigh on to two years has suddenly transferred his affections to Kate Judkins; all on account of her havin’ a piano. Now if you'll let me have this instrument, I'll buy it and we'll see what John Redsing does. Well, what do you say, man?” “Would that be treating Judkins fair?” So earnest seemed this speech that Sallie felt apprehensive lert after all they lose it. “Pearl, get me my check book,” said Yud with finality. Phat night Bud sat cut under the trees in the yard enjoying Pearl's fifth repetition of “Falling Waters,” when he espied John coming up the road on his way to the Judkins place. Bud hurried to the door and called in, “John’s acomin’ up the road. Play ‘Annie Laurie.’”’ He then sauntered around the house He saw, however, that John after passing, had slowly turned around and tied his horse in front of the house. Bud went to help his wife fasten the doors to the chicken house. Said he, “Say, didn't I fix old Judkins though. And didn’t I handle that piano man just right. Wrote tho check before he could say Jack Rob- inson.” Sallie hugged her secret. At 10:30 Pearl and John came out to the dining room and John said, “Peari and I are going to bh» niarried next week, so that I can join my regiment.” When Sallie went in to have a last leok at the piano before going to bed, she said to herself: “It beats all how casy a woman can ‘ool a man.” — —-- CASTORIA For Infants and Childrea in Use For Over 30 Years aaid tke visitor. come out to the piece on the Gotham: I do not.

Josties was the champion in 1914. |The Saturday-Sunday match with | Drewes was the second time that he has met his doubles partner in tour- NMament competition. The time pre- vious was the municipal finals last @eason, and consequently the two are now even up. Josties fooled the back-line guessers, yesterday, by his aggressiveness. Taking heed of the Platitude, “fight fire with fire,” he went to the net and at the net re- mained. He played Drewes at his own game, and this time got away with it. Two competent players re- sorting to net attack is bound to re- sult in brillant play, which was the result yesterday. Drewes took the first two games, Josties the following five, and then the players split the fHext pair. In the afternoon the morning oppo- ments paired and defended their title as municipal doubles champions by Outclassing Schwartz and Walsh to the extent of 6—1, 6—3, 6—4 scores. The match was entirely too certain as to the ultimate victory to be in- teresting. The match which resulted in the entrance in the final round of Roy ‘Hollinshead and the elimination of A. 8S.

Such a pace has added 77 percentage points to their mark since July 21, upon which date they owned a record of 34 victories and 61 defeats for a per- centage of .400. Senators Have Great Record. Setting aside that 2 tq@1 defeat in Detroit, yesterday, the? score being sufficiently close that Griff should at least command the benefit of the doubt, the Senators, since the begin- ning of their advance, have taken four in seven from the Browns, five of a like number from Cleveland, have broken even in six games with Detroit, have won three in four from the White Sox and have slipped the Yankees three setbacks in as many starts. The later portion of this winning epoch for the Senators has been the most impressive. Since Aug. 6, the Griffmen have been beaten but twice in a dozen attempts, Gallia losing a 3-to-2 decision to the White Sox Aug. 9 and Detroit getting the question- able victory yesterday. Which shows that the Senators are improving as they go along. Johnson the Big Trump. Probably the salient factor in this string of successes was Walter John- son. Off to a miserable start this season, the ‘“‘fireball’’ czar has won the last eight games in which he has officiated. The Old Fox also has Har- per, Ayres, Gallia and Dumont work- ing with consistency, and with this quartet lending support to Johnson, Griff has little need to worry about pitching. But one serious misfortune has overtaken the Senators since their winning jamboree began, and that was the injury to Joe Judge, who broke an ankle in Detroit Saturday. Always a perceptibly weak club at bat, the loss of any of his first-string players may mean disaster to the Washington boss, although Gharrity seems capable of doing justice to the first sack. The Senators will remain here for only three games, following which the Red Sox present their credentials for two contests. It is hardly likely that Johnson will be started today, as he pitched Saturday. Dumont or Gallia probably will work, while Jones’ choice will be made from Koob or Groom. Two Straight for Browns. The Browns are experiencing the unusual effect of winning’ two Straight games this morning. Allan Sothoron proved too much for Bill Donovan’s Yankees yesterday and Fielder’s boys, by winning, 4 to 1, made it two out of three on the se- ries. Mogridge opposed Sothoron, but without avail. Donovan pre- sented a new attack, benching Hen- dryx and shoving Miller to center and Planting Caldwell in right field. CARDINALS OPEN SERIES OF THREE GAMES AGAINST the top at any time. However, we don’t seem to be able to gain on the White Sox, who are leading us by 28 games. We'll get ’em yet. = . oe The Browns have been greatly strengthened by the news that Grov- er Lowdermilk is coming back. They’ve won two straight games al- ready. +. a 7 The Yankees want Derrill Pratt.

It dpes not wish to take over the city tourney as an annual fixture, bu will relinquish it if allowed to com- pete in the district championship*. All entrants in the city tourney will be given lockers at the Forest Park clubhouse during the week of the tourney and the week preceding in order that they may practice.

The tournament will be all scratch competition. Women’s Final This Week. The match for the women’s munici- pal championship between Misses Gertrude Wesseling and Julia Ait- ken will probably be played some aft- ernoon this week. The match was first to have been played last Tues- day, but Miss Aitken was unable to appear. When the players decided to contest Saturday they were told that the result would be void, as the match had teen forfeited to Miss Wesseling. They are now awaiting a ruling whereby they will be allowed to play the match. Batting and Fielding Figures of St. Louis Players, Right Up to Date BROWNS. BATTING. Fielding -—— The prevailing belief, notwithstand- ing the position of Chicago in the American League scramble, is that the Red Sox “insides,” plus their pitching, will win the league and the national title as well. It is one of the most unusual conditions that ever was known in baseball. The Giants? “Finest team in the country, except for the, pitching staff.” is the verdict. Fans simply refuse to class Sallee, Benton, Schupp, Perritt, ‘Tesreau and Anderson with Ruth, Shore, Leonard and Mays. It is also the popular view that in pinch batting, New York's sluggers will not compare with Hooper, Gard- ner, Lewis and Scott, not to mention the mighty “Babe” Ruth, one of the best natural sluggers of the game. In the meanwhile, Charley Comiskey is trying to induce Chicago fans to be- gin early buying their world’s series seats for the opening game at his park, and thus avoid the rush. at the front. Not a champion is enlisted in the defense of Uncle Sam. The defense of his title is far more interesting to him. NOW—each champion could de- fend his laurels and contridute strongly to the service of Uncle Sam by fighting for his title and turning the proceeds over to the Red Cross. Jt means only 60 minutes of safe fight- ing, whereas the boys in the trenches battle for their lives several hours daily. Yet from the proceeds of the seven fights above mentioned $350,000 or more could be realized, if it were known the men were doing it for the country. This $350,000, Bo, would equip, feed and pay the salaries for year of more than 500 sold 3 Are you game to help in THAT way?

Miss Grace Stewart, swimming un- der the colors of the Municipal Ath- letic Association, yesterday retained the title of long-distance champion when she won the annual two-mile river event, held by the Western Rowing Club, in 27 minutes, beating out Miss Ethel Tittsworth, her clos- est rival, by 17 seconds. This is Miss Stewart’s second victory in a long-distance paddle, her other com- ing in 1915. One of the surprises of the race was the good showing made by Adeline Jarvis, a newcomer in local long-dis- tance paddle circles. This girl, who is only 14 years old, seemed badly coached throughout, but finished a good third, 30 seconds behind the win- ner. The winner took the lead at the start of the race and was never head- ed, although on one occasion Miss Tittsworth pulled up to even terms with her. Each one of the eight who started finished the event, Miss Rose Ross, who pulled in last, being four minutes and 7 seconds behind Miss Stewart. The order of finish and the times: NAME—CLUB. Time.

The officials of the Browns are de- termined that betting on ball games must cease, and in a crusade which began yesterday one spectator who was accused of openly laying odds on the result of the game between the Browns and Yankees, was refunded his admission price and told to leave the park. -The first intimation that Sports- man’s Park would be anything but a welcome place for bettors came before yesterday's game, when sev- eral fans who were standing behind the rail in the rear of the grand stand were requested to take seats. This request came at the instance of Bobcy Quinn, who explained that the presence of fansijin the rear of the stand was conducive to open bet- ting. It was when one spectator re- fused to be seated that he was asked to leave the park. Quinn stated that the city ordi- Mance requiring aisles of buildings or siructures open to the public be kept ciear, gave him a wasis upon whick to request spectators t» se- cure seats.

BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Sunday, Aug. 19.—. The beginning of the fourth year of | the war finds the Germans making ' .@ radical change in their methods of defense along the British battlefield in Northern France and Belgium. "The continuous lines of wonderfully constructed forward trenches, with their deep dugouts, in which lived and fought great numbers of men, ere fast passing into the discard. _ The enemy is adopting the system of scattering his advance forces over a great depth. Cunningly con- structed strongholds among the my- riads of shell holes along the fron‘ now conceal innumerable small and more or less isolated garrisons of men, who formerly fought shoulder to shoulder along great stretches o* picturesque ditches, through which communication was not broken for miles. This alteration has been brought about by the ever-growing prepon- derance of British artillery, which has buried the German front line trenches under an avalanche or ghells and has left the defenses noth- ing bu. heaped furrows of earth, and has made the famous dugouts veritable man traps, in which count- less thousands have lost their lives without a chance of fighting back. Repair Work Impossible. The continuous deluge of break- fng steel made repair work on the trenches impossible; and, as the Ger- mans were gradually pushed back. they were, of necessity, forced to in- vent other modes of stemming the ever-advancing tide. So it has come to be depth of defenses upon which the Germans depend in many places rather than the strength of his first line trenches. The recent allied of- fensive east and north of Ypres dis- closed many examples of this new scheme of fighting, which bids fair to take the place of the tactics of the last three years. Whenever the German front-line trenches have veen made untenable. or where a British attack is expected, one finds the new order of things. The first German lines now often consist of strong outposts concealed in shell craters and a considerable distance apart. Back of these outposts are chains of shell-hole nests, each nest con- 2 alts $ be a5 * : os “y Ree $5 :% - ge ns = = é . ’ et — Ls " ie f * bes : a p Bs : $o9DR fe y * # ; —* . » 10@1 Unlisted Ba Bank Stocks.

DUWNWARD TREND z ed IN EARLY STOCK DEALINGS News Is Less Favorably Con- strued as Session Progresses— Rails Weaken. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Fractional losses in some important issues were noted at the opening of the Stock Market today. Elsewhere some buy- ing support was in evidence and slight gains recorded. Trade on the whole was light and colorless. Fair support developed in certain West- ern railroads. Developments over Sunday were of a rather disturbing character. La- bor unrest throughout the great mineral producing and agricultural aeras of the Northwest suggest re- duced outputs and consequent small- er profits. On the other hand, news from the various war fronts was en- couraging.

Lens is city of concrete and the ground be- neath is honeycombed with tunnels. Almost every building has been de- stroyed by the Germans, and ruins have been fortified with ma- chine-gun emplacements. So long as the Germans remain on the defensive it is improbable that they will return to the meth- inaugurated whea they swept forward and were push- ing the allies hard. The fighting among these German defenses has given rise to many thrilling incigents.
