WEDDING OFF; PROSPECTIVE BRIDEGROOM IN A HOSPITAL McLaughlin's Argument With Po- Hccmnn Delnya Nuptials 30 Days, Weildliu; chimes will not ring for Lewis McLaughlin, GO cn8 old, of Lee street, nbovc Allegheny avenue, this evening. In fact, his honeymoon wilt give way to 10 days In the county prison hospital. He simply picked out the wrong man to lick when he decided to do something desperate on the day before his mar riage. Itc picked Policeman Fox, of the Tenth and Huttonwood streets station, who tried to shoo him away, when he of fered to tell Fox how to conduct trnfllc at the corner of l"th street and Falimount avenue yesteidnv afternoon. Fox was holding up some wagon trnfTIc to permit several school children to cross the street In safety when .McLaughlin told him he should have let them vnlt nnd not tie up the business of a great city. Fox. who said the man was very much to the leewnrd with all sails set, simply laughed and told him to continue his journey. The policeman forgot all about the Incident until he received a punch In the nose. The policeman then thought Is was time to arrest the man, but McLaughlin thought otherwise and staUed to fight. Before he would submit to arrest It wns necessary to damage his features to some great extent, anil a trip to St. Joseph's Hospital followed. This morning whne brought before Magistrate Belcher, he wns hidden be hind yards nnd yards of bandages, so much so that his "bride to be." who ap peared on his behalf, failed to recog nize him. He then unfolded his tnlo to the "Judge" saying that since he wns under the influence of liquor at the time he did not remember what had taken place. Seeing that it would be almost Impos sible for McLaughlin to attend anything but a hospital for sometime, nnd know ing that a wedding ceremony was out of the question for tonight the Magis trate gave hlni CO days to rest up, telling him to postpone the wedding for a mouth.

Thero has boon no let-up In the shell' Ing of Tslng-Tno by night and day. Al though up to the present there has been no attempt made to carry the main po sitions by storm, owing to tho constant lire ot the German cruisers Interned In the harbor, the losses to the land forces are large. The lire from tho squadron and from the German land forts is ex tremely deadly. German aviators are re ported as having done good service to their cause by their flights over the Japanese-British positions. H is believed here that tho fall of tho German position cannot long be delayed.

Before Hint, however. It Is expected here that the German armored cruisers In the hatbor will essay a dash for safety. In anticipation ot this a special Japanese squadron, made up of high-speed battle cruisers nnd armored cruisers, Is In waiting. These vessels "nave steam up, their magazines and bunkers filled, and are taking no part In the bombardment of the German position. Their definite task Is to capture or destroy the Ger man squadron, nnd they will be In read iness when tho enemy attempts to run the blockade. Copies of a message of greeting sent by tho Emperor to the commander of the British forces. General Bcrnardiston, were made public here today.

German armies on tho right winy, heavily reinforced during tho night, today assaulted tho Allies' lines In the region of Roye. A tcrrlnc battlo Is In progress there. Tho ofllcial stntetnent that the gen eral engagement against Von Kink and Von Boehn's armies Is extending mora to the north is an indication that tho Germans havo been unablo to check tho enveloping movemont. Tho official statement, Issued at Bor dcaux at 3 o'clock and made public a' Military Headquarters here, contra diets the German ofllcial statement re garding developments along tho Mouse. Tho French state that tho Germans tried to 'lay pontoon bridges across tho Meuso In the neighborhood of St. Mihiel, only to havo them blown to pieces by the French three-Inch guns, which have been of inestimable ser vice In the present war. Tho complote official statement was: On our left wing the battlo con tinues with great violence, notably In the region of Royo, where the Germans appear to havo cftndo trated largo forces. Tho action extending more and more towan tho north. The battle front has actually been extended even Into tho region south of Arras. On tho Meuso tho Germans tried to build neat St. Mihiel a bridge, which has been destroyed by night. In tho Woevre region our offensive continues and it advances stop by step, notably In tho region between Apremont and St. Mll.lel. On all tho rest of tho front only partial operations havo been at tempted on either side. Fighting is general all along the long battlefront, which now extends from 150 to 1G0 miles, owing to the sweep of General d'Amade's forces toward the northeast. The heaviest fighting, however, has centred around Royo and along a front extending from Ressons to Combles, but unofficial reports from the north state that the Germans have been un successful. Tho French are said to have advanced and to have occupied' 'important positions. As a result of their vigorous efforts north of St. Quentln, tho French were nblo to cut one of General von Kluk'a lines of communications last Monday, according to advices from the front. The Germans havo been fighting with the desperation of despair, and durin one night seven charges were made against the French left, all of which were repulsed. During tho day the German artillery had kept In action, tho heavy guns hurling shells over the trenches of the French and their British allies. Intercepted wireless messages from General von Klulc contain the pes simistic Information that General von Kluk'a offensive movement had bee checked. It stated that the German' had encountered black troops, that may have been the Indians who landed at Marseilles and were rushed to the firing line. If that were the case the Hindus evidently have been stationed to the west of tho British forces under Field Marshal Sir John French. Ofllcial information from the French' War Office still makes no mention of a German retreat, although unofficial re ports from the north have stated from time to time during the past T3 hours that portions of the German army wsr, retiring toward Belgium. One report from Belgium, which cam by the way ot London, said that the Germans were throwing up an elabo rate series of fortifications along thd western frontier of Belgium as though to make a stand there. Villages wtrt surrounded with barbed wire. It w said, and long lines of earthworks wer to be seen everywhere.

It Is known that during tho last two days the army of General d'Amadc, which commands tho estrcmo left of the French position, has beon reinforced by nearly three army corps, so that It has been possible to cxtond this line nearly to tho Belgian bordor. Tho French are In touch with the Belgian forces operating irregularly in tho west of Belgium and with tho British baso nt Ostend.

ALLIES REPULSED ON WHOLE FRONT, BERLIN ASSERTS BERLIN, Oct. 2. That two of tho Belgian forts at Antwerp havo been silenced by Ger man artillery and that tho Germans are making steady progress in Franco, Ifter repulsing all attacks by tho Al es, Is asserted in an official statement Issued hero today. It also declares about 2000 Russian officers, Including 18 generals, have been taken prisoners by tho Germans. The statement follows: "German artillery has silenced two forts In the siege of Antwerp. Thirty aeroplanes sent from Franco to Bel gium have been captured by the Germans. "The great battle in France Is still undecided. The Germans aro hammer ing the French positions with heavy krtlllery. At numerous points attempts ?he Allies to break through tho Ger- llnes have been repulsed. They ounered their heaviest losses near tho Arcnnne forest. Tho Germans con tinue to make steady progress. "The fact that tho siege of Ant werp, tho big Dattie in rrurae uuu General von HIndenberg's operations In the east are being conducted simul taneously Is significant, Indicating that the Germans do not lack men.

"The Russian fortress of Ossowlec Is being bombarded. "Official reports show that up to Sep tember 25 thoro had been in German war prison camps about 2000 captured iRusslan officers.

There, while criicial bulletins give few details of any material changes in the position of the combatants, the German right, under von Kluk is believed as being slowly forced back to the Bel gian frontier, from his former position on the Aisne and Oise. In the centre the German line is fairly steady, while the French claim to be making a steady gain in the Verdun-Toul-Nancy district. Officially little is given out, but it is believed in London and Paris that the advantage lies with the Allies, who on the left are believed to have reached the Belgian frontier between Lille and .Valenciennes. Stiff fighting is going on in the centre at Juniville and on the left at Roye.

"Tho German. naval policy Is of neces sity a waiting one. If England Is dis satisfied It has its redress. England has tho men and tho ships, and knows ex actly where our fleet Is." That was tho declaration mado todiy by Count Ernst O.

"It Is not up to our fleet about half the size of tho English fleet to attack and give battle on their own ground," continued the Count. "The English lleet has shown no disposition to court bat tle.

Hospitals Overcrowded and Relief Trains Inade quate. PAItlS, Oct. 2. Tho Bed Cross and nllled Institutions of mercy havo been swamped by the vast number of wounded soldiers from the great battle of tho Alsne. Early In the conflict Paris was overwhelmed by the constant stream of wounded men that flowed In from the north and east. Hospitals were established In tho suburbs, but those wcro filled Immediately, and now all of Bouthern and western Franco Is full of stations for the care of the wounded. Thoro Is n constant call for doctors and nurses. Many wounded British soldiers havo been sent to England for treatment, but a large number of them wera hurt so severely that they could not stand the Journey. Judging from tho casualties of tho first week of the gigantic engagement, It would bo safe to estimate tho losses of the Allies to date nt moro than 100,01. Ot these, tho greater part were wounded, but many classed ns wounded have died. Tho greater part of tho wounded are brought southward by night. There Is little place In a great war llko the pres ent one for tenderness, so that most of tho soldiers aro brought from the front In cattlo cars, on couches of blood-soaked straw. In some Instances oidlnary freight cars are used. The floor Is covered with straw to tho depth of two feet. Tho wounded nre then arranged In the car nnd tho door Is locked. Theio Is little nlr and no food or water. Only a few trains are accompanied by surgeons, be cause their services nre needed too badly ot the front. Sometimes a smoky lantern, that elves off a stench of oil nnd but little light. Is hung in the car. Often, however, tho cars aro In total darkness. At times, owing to a change of posi tion or a movement of nitillery, the freight trains filled with wounded are shunted about upon sidetracks for hours, each sudden Jerk of the train sending pangs of torture through the fever racked bodies of the victims. Tho sights witnessed at the destination of one of these rhnrnel tialns, when the doors are cast back and tho Bed Cross nurses begin to carry out the shattered passengers. Is too painful to be remem bered. Here Is one man with his head bandnged In a bloodsoaked lag nnd who. In the parox)sms of pain has burrowed his face Into the filthy red stiavv; here Is another with a shattered arm or leg which shoots razor pains through his body nt every movement of tho train; hero Is anothei with a bullet In his body, his lips black and 'his eyes gluzed with the him of death.

These wild, battle-loving wnrrlors seldom give way to emo tion, no matter how badly they havo been hint. Many French families havo thrown open their homes to the wounded.

It Is not expected that tho nomination of Doctor Morgan will be any mora pleasing to tho Progressives In the lower part of tho Stnto than was tho nomination of Doctor Heed. There Is no objection to cither man personally, but thcro Is n feel ing among many of the Progressives that the nomination ought to go to a Sussex County man because tho Republicans' aroused dissatisfaction by nominating a Now Castle County man for Congross. By nominating a Sussex Countlnn tho Pro gressives think they could get the. votes of dissatisfied Republicans. Tho Progressive leaders, howovor, appear to think that a New Cast I o County man would draw more votes becnuso of tho lurger voting popu lation In the upper end of the State.

By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2,-Tho, second session of the preliminary conference of Constitutionalist Generals to prepare for tho national "peace convention" was held hero today. The gonernl "peace confer ence" probably will open In Aguacal Icntcs on October 10 Instead of lu this city. The event of principal Importance scheduled for today was tho report of l'"lrst Chief Venustlano Carranza on the triumph of the Constitutionalist cause. It now seems certain that the present scries of conferences will bo extended, although there nro differences of opinion op this score. Tho conferences now tak ing placo will probably supersede the meeting which had been called for Mon day. Tho session today, like that of yester day, was hold In tho hall of the Chamber of Deputies, with Luis Cabrera presid ing. The only business that had been conducted at tho first session was tho presentation of credentials. General Car Kinza was given enthusiastic greeting and he predicted "that all .loyal and patriotic Mexicans would soon bo In accord." General Obrcgon, General Snachez and Roberto Pesqulora, who had been ap pointed a Committee of Three to ar range for a national "peace convention," In uccordanco with tho Guadalopo agree ment, were In conference until early to day. It Is announced by the Government that HO out of the 91 generals in the Constitu tionalist army are here for tho meetings which are being held. General Obregon, whose return from Zncatecos was unexpected, spoke In tho most optimistic vein as to tho future of Mexico. Reports of activity on tho part of do Inched bands of Vlllalstas In Durango have caused trepidation at the AVar Office, where. It was announced that tho ndherents of General Carrnnza are doing everything expected of them to uphold the recent armistice. BRITISH NAVAL GUNS SHELL GERMAN LINES Long: Range Artillery Decisive Fac tor Along Alsne, Is Report. PARIS, Oct. 2. It was learned today that the French and British artillery now In action has been augmented by big naval guns of tho typo that proved so effoctlvo with the British In South Africa. These guns have been sent to tho forces operating In the triangle of the Olse and the Alsno and to those north of the Sommo cn gagod In driving the Germans from their strongly entrenched positions. Others havo been rushed to tho army operating in tho Woevre region. Tho complaint heretofore has been that In the entrenched positions the German artillery had the longer range and that the shells of the Allies fell short. This has been remedied nnd the uninterrupted series of successes that have marked all of the operations of this week entirely Is duo to tho uld given by tho naval guns, which, it Is stated, aro manned by their own gunners. R0YE HEIGHTS REPORTED CAPTURED BY GERMANS French Attacks From Toul Also Re ported Repulsed. LONDON. Oct. 2. A Berlin dispatch to the Reuter Tele gram Company by way of Amsterdam says: "Official headquarters this evening an nounces that the heights of Roye and Fresnoy-le-Orand, northwest of Noyon, were tnken September SO. South of St. Mihlcl, the announcement continues, Kronen attacks from Toul were repulsed Thursday with tevere losses to the Krench. The attack on Antwerp con tinues successfully. The situation In the Knutern war theatre remains un changed." TRAGEDY GREAT WAR DRAMA ords are always made of patients who un dergo hospital treatment. Thus It Is prob.iblo that the artillery are not given full credit for the actual havoc thoy have wrought, although every one agrees us to the damago the guns have to the nerves of the combatants. But there can be little doubt that the de structive effect of modern quick-firing' tleld artillery Is very great: and this is proved by the ever-increasing desire to render troops and entrenchments as In visible as possible. This fact alone speaks volumes as to the eflleacy and deadlines of modern field artillery. A private, writing' home to Kngland. says: "Regarding what has been said about tho German blue-gray uniform being bet ter than our khaki, I for one don't thlnh so. The German uniform stands out black at 300 yards or so. Our khaki is virtually invisible. The German soldiers fire from their hips nnd their bullets go high. Tholr artillery fire Is more accu rate because of the aeroplanes." The bitterness of the Polish peasants toward the Germans In Russian Poland, the London Dally Telegraph's Petro grad correspondent says, grows hourly more pronounced, a bitterness that re ceived fresh Impetus through recent ex amples of grim humor on the part of the Germans. Along the line of the German opera tions thLs example of humor took the form of a pretense by the Germans to pay for all supplies with slips of paper upon which were written In German script so the enraged Polish peasants learned through Interpreters "Who ever presents this at the end of the war will be hangid." The report that the Austrian troops who have been opposing the Russians are short of aupplles and that the men often go hungry Is confirmed by the statement of a doctor who attended a wounded Austrian ottleer after the bat tle of Opole. The Immediate amputation of one of officer's legs was necessary. Whin tils Information waa conveyed to htoi by V surgeons, the officer said: 'AH rl&ht; but nrirt give me some food.

DUTCH BITTERLY RESENT BRITISH SEA HOLD-UP Searching of Neutral Ships Stirs People of Holland. ROTTERDAM, Oct. 1. There is growing bitterness throughout Holland Against England because of Its Interference with Dutch shipping ind holding up of cargoes of foodstuffs and needed supplies, such as copper. This feeling Is not pro-German, but antl British. Although It Is reported that nn arrangement has been made between England, the United States and Holland whereby foodstuffs are no longer to be held up, Hollanders generally resent tho concessions their Government was com pelled to make, and especially the fact that they wore compelled to place them selves under obligation to England In order to prevent a complete p:iralysls of the Dutch trade. All of the facts of the holding up of the Holland-American liners en route from Now York to Philadelphia are be coming known here only now, Tho Dutch national pride has been badly hurt by learning that when a British commander took possession of the Noordam and took that vessel into Queenstown harbor he ordered tho captain down from his own bridge. Even Englishmen here declare that this was a "conspicuous example of disregard of ethics and tactlessness." There Is much wonder here as to what will be the result when similar tactics are fol lowed by British warship commanders toward American merchantmen who are to be put Into ths service between here and New York.

For 18 days this city has been under a continuous German flro.

During tho fight on tho River Niemen there appeared for the first time a now pattern Russian gun of largo calibre and considerable mobility. Naturally no details nro Issued concerning its construction and principal features, but It Is the product of tho famous Putlloff 'works.

NATIONAL AIR MASKED GERMAN SHIPS' FLIGHT Musical Eubo Allowed Goeben and Brcslau to Escape From British. NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-A recent Issue of tho Stockholm Dagblad tells of tho escape of the derman cruisers Goeben and Bre3 lau from a squadron of British battleships and cruisers In tho Mediterranean. The full account was obtained from a Swedish traveler, Just returned from Sicily. He says: "The two German cruisers had en tered Jlesslnn, whero Gorman steam ships gavo them an nbundanco of coal and supplies. They were provisioned while the British warships outside tho harbor prepared to capturo them. Four British warships lay off tho heights of Capo Faro to the north, while two others were on the lookout oft Regglo to tho south. "Al! day the Goeben and tho Brcslau remilned fiulet, but when night fell tho two captains decided on a sortie. It va- rapture, or the loss of both vessels If thoy did not succeed. "A dark night favored them. Thoy decided to slip out of the strait while tho bands of both cruisers were left be hind lustily playing 'Din Wacht am Itheln.' The bands were plneod aboard n chartered tug and tho familiar strains of the German air soon reached the ears of the British sailors, who wero expect ing some kind of n night surprise.

"The ships south of Jlosslna closed In for battle, blocking tho paspago through the Strait. They brought their search lights Into play and scanned tho waters In vnln of German cruisers.

At St. Quentln Mr. Sweetser fell In with German forces nnd had nn opportunity of talking with Kngllsh pilsoners, who told him how their conquerors had placed them in the front line of battle: "In a small back yard I found about 250 English and :'(K Fionch who hnd been captured nearby. Their sergeant told me talcs of utmost hoiror. swearing on his honor that the Germans had marched them as prlsoneis at the head of the column light Into the face of the British Kims. Tor thiee da3, he said, the Ger mans had not given them food, and only n few of the men had been able to get anything from the French outside. GLRJIAN" VIOLENCE XOT WANTON. Continuing tho discussion of the stories of barbarity. Mr Sweetser sas. "The French call the Germans Mes bar bares.' sat age", murderers of cliildien nnd violators of women. In France, how ever, I must tay I have seen little of this Tho Germans have brought misery. Buffering and starvation; but as for wan ton damage and hi utallty, there does not seem to be more than must be expected from n hostile army of nondescript men drunk with the lust of battle. Undoubt edly cases of brutality have occurred, but wholly, I believe, at least in France, against orders and under threat of being phot A few da9 later Mr. Sweetser was ar rested and was allowed to go about only undci the guard of two Germnn bicvclo scouts. They weie Mopped on the load by a woman hunting for licr children. who had been visiting with a relative at v. nearby village Thi-y found a bicycle for her and took her under their protec tion. THE SACKING OF SENL1S. T'tifchin? on the next day, the three came to Senlls, which the Germans had occupied: "All the splendid houses lending to It Wf shut and unoccupied and many unowfil signs of having been broken Into. Uefon same were mattresses and piles of straw w tiers soldiers had slept, and chairs, tablis ard furniture pulled out, Heavens knows why. The heart of the city we found still blazing. A pretty wtutlon already lay in cinders, but the big Hotel du Nord nnd most of the houses along tho raaln street were burn ing merrily. Indeed. It was so hot that we could scarcely pass by them. It was a tenibln thing to look upon this useloss destruction of an undef nded city. It was done, the Germans claimed, as punish-ffn-nt fur Illegal resistance by the civil ians "The shopping district was the wildest scene of dlsoider. Here in places there was calm, deliberate looting. A shoe store particularly, I remember, where ever) thing had been pulled from the walls nnd piled knee-deep on tho floors till it bulged out through the door on the street. An incessant stioam of German soldiers tiled in and out, kicking ot-r the goods till thej found what they wanted. Other rhopb stood equally open. "Finally It came time for supper and Bleeping My two friends com eyed me to the best residential section, selected the handsomest mansion they could find, and proceeded at once to make themselves at home Eery door and window was locked and every nook and corner searched for possible enemies.

Ruler Confident British and Hindu Soldiers Will Win Glory in Strife Against 'Relentless Enemy. i PAlllS, Oct. 2. King George of Great Britain has sent two messages to the i enforcements that have .lust nrrhed on the firing line. One Is nddresscd to the British troops re called from India; the other Is to the Indian troops. Tho message to the Kng llsh soldlets follows: You have been recalled from service In India, together with your romrndes from that country, to fight for tho safety and honor of the empire. Bel glum, which country we were plcdgrd to protect, has been devaBlntcd, and France Invaded bv the same foe. 1 have Implicit confidence In .ou. Duty Is your watchword. I know ur duty will be done nobly nnd I pray God to bless you and guard you nnd bring you Lack victorious. The pecond message, addressed to tho Hindus, follows: I look to all my Indian soldiers to uphold tho Ismt of tho British Tlaj against an ngtrrcsslve and relentless enemy. I know with what readiness the brave nnd loval Indian troops are prepared to fulfil this sacred trust on tho field of battle, shoulder to shoulder with your comrades from all part' of the empire. You always will he In mv thoughts and prayers. I bid you go forward nnd ndd fresh lustre to the glorious achievements nnd to the notable traditions ot your nge nnd chlvn'ry of the Indian nrmy, whose honor nnd fame is In your hnnds. COUNTRY NEEDS THE HORSE Banished From tho City, He is Use ful on Fnrm. There wcto nearly 21.000.CM horses in thn United States on January 1 last, ac cording to the count of tho I'nltcd States Department of Agriculture. At the same dato there were, approximately. 4,500,000 mules, says the Louisville. Courier Journal. So far as the countiy at lnige is con cerned the liorfe Is not disappearing rap idly. There aro fewer horses in the cities. Horse-drawn vehicles of all klnd3 aro dis appearing fiom clt streets, but nothing in particular seems to be happening to tho horse except that ho is being ban ished to the country and piobably ho feels more nt home there than he does umid the rush and loar of metropolitan tratlic. The horse by no means lias outlived his usefulness. The people In the rural dis tricts know very well whnt to do with him to make him cam his board and lodging. It Is not easy to foresee a tlmo when he will not be useful on the farms for a variety of purposes. It Is true thnt plows are being driven by steam and electricity In somo poitlons of the coun try. Perhaps the day may come when the horse will be emancipated from plow ingat least. In regions where the land is level and there are no rocks and stumps to be dodged. But there are millions of little hill farms In this country nnd some of them are nlmost perpendicular. There are many of that kind hero In Kentucky -some of them, In fact, that nie too steep for the horse and must needs be cultlmatcd with the sure-footed mule or the plodding steer. Steam engines, gasoline tractors, elec tric motois and the like cannot supplant the horse in the hill country. Invention may do the trick in the next century oi so, but the horse seems reasonably certain to have a long period of usefulness ahead of him. When thcic aro good roads everywhere, when the motors have pene trated to all the remote regions, win farming can be done by pressing a button or pulling a string, and when the horse has come to be economically unavailable for the varied services he Is giving nt present that will be the time for dis appearing. All of which means that no tears need be shed at piesent by favors of the faithful animals in anticipation of his extinction. REPORTED AS A FRENCH PRISONER Crown Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, who, according to late reports, has been taken by the enemy 14 miles north of Nancy, PSYCHOLOGY OF COLD STEEL Bnyonets ns Visible Sign of Death More Terrifying Than Bullets. Anybody can prove that In hand-to-li.ind fighting nn automatic gun is worth ton bayonets. Which would you rather face a burglar with, for example? After a chargo across a field, with which could you do the most damage? There Is no doubt for the answer. Yet every military power retains the bayonet and uses It In close fighting. Why? Tho answer goes back of fighting theory nnd fighting machines to the human equation. It Ib a question of psychology rather than killing power. The automatic may bo the more deadly weapon, but It Is net tho wicked, visible glitter of a low of fixed bayonets charging up a defenslvo line. The bullet Is nn Invisible enemy. You cannot sec It sweeping townid you; you do not Imagine It cutting into you. The gun coughs and It is nil over. The row of bayonets starts, wavers, comes on, faster and faster, nearer and nearer. Somo of them go down. Others keep on. Cold, visible death is sweeping up to you, and smnll wonder that you break nnd run. It is the constant assertion of the Allies that tho German soldiers linve no taste for steel and have constantly given nw.iy before the bayonet charges. The point Is one of the most psychological ques tions which Impartial reports may or may not settle. Tho fact Is unquestionable, anyway, that cold steel has tetalned Its value In warfare, despite all the mai- velous weapons that gunpowder has placed In the hand of man. GIRL FOOLS HORSE TRADER "I saw a mighty smart young gill sting a. horse trader and throw his doc tored horso back on him before every one," says Farm and Fireside. "She ex amined tho horse clooly about the ears for shot and smelt of the hoofs for tur pentine. If a horse Is lame through sore feet, things can be temporarily fixed by beating turpentine to tho boiling point ond pouring It over the hoofs. For that matter she wvnt after that horse for nil tho tricks known. You see, hor dad was n horseman. She took the eyes for blindness, carted tho horso to the sun to see him blink nnd examined his eye biows to see If they were triangular oi wilnklcd. "Evidently she know the trick of clear ing a blind eye by belladonna or blood root. Then she came to the nose and laughed out when she noticed tho nos trils hnd been slit a little in the thin part. Turning to the boy, she said: 'Give him n drink nnd run him nround and then we can see what this horse has got.' When ho cumc back I noticed signs of heaves and, sure enough, that was what the horse had to a high de gree. Everybody gave the dealer tho laugh to think thnt a girl could beat him." EGYPT HIT BY WAR LONDON, Oct. 2. The flnnnclal conse quencis of the wnr have been felt seveie ly In Egypt.

MORTALITY IN BATTLES MAY BE FOUND LOW Wholesalo Slaughter Improbable Even With Deadly New Weapona To rend of n battle In which 3.000,000 arc engaged naturally raises visions ot wholesale slaughter. All the appliances of modern warfaro nre designed to that end! till tho skill nnd science of tho great est military experts nro directed to that purpose. Yet, basing estimates on authentic his torical records, there In good reason to nsstimo that the number of men killed In nnv ono battle In Frnnco will be sur prisingly low when compared with tho death rate under normial circumstances among tho same number of men. At Gettysburg, for Instance, the death rnte per 1000 was B3.R, the highest In 21 battles In tho Civil Wnr. According to tho figures published by tho Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company In tho American Experience Tablo of Mortality, for ovcry 1000 men living at tho age ot 49 there will be 63.0 deaths beforo reach ing the age of G.1. For all purposes, this Is exactly the same rnte of mortollty as that on tho field of Gettysburg; That Is to tnv, each soldier had tho same chnnco of Biirvlvlng the battle of Getysburg that a man now 4'J years old has of living to hn 61. At the battle of Chancellorsvlllo the death fate among the soldiers engnged was 20 3 per 1000. Acordlng to tho life In surance tables, tho death rate per 1000 nmowr men In peaceful pursuits ranging Jn nee from 42 to 44 Is exactly the same. Every soldier at Shlloh, where the death Tate In battle was 42.2 per 1000, hnd the same chunce of eooapo nllvo as thn aver age man of 30 has of reaching tho ngo of 35. Theae figures nre surprising In showing how far wo nro likely to be led nBtray In calculating the relative mortality In battle.

A swindling Italian who preys upon his Ignorant countrymen caught his third victim nt Broad Street Station this morn ing, and as a icsult the police have redoubled their efforts to capture thu man. The name of the victim was with held by the police and the Italian Con sul, to whom ho was sent for aid. According to the story i elated to tho police, the sti anger Is an Italian laborer from Western Pennsylvania. He was on his way back to Italy to join his wife and child following the receipt of a cablo Ki.im setting forth that tho wife Is dan gerously ill. IVhen he reached Broad Street Station today he hnd $S0 In cash. A well-dressed countryman accosted hi in as he walked Into the train shed, and described himself as an agent for an Italian Protective Soolcty. Tho swindler declared that strange Italians frequently are rooDeu wnen tlioy arrive in the city nnd said that tho object of the society was to protect them. He then produced a number of engraved papers covered with 3eals as credentials. Ills society, ho said, ran a bank In which Italians could place their money until they needed It. The bank paid seven per cent. In advance he said. ImpresEcd by the suave manner of the swindler, the laborer gave up his $30. The swindler then offered to show him to the Italian Consul's, but ns soon as tho two got Into the crowd outside Broad direct nation tno man disappeared. Then the laborer bocamo suspicious, notified a tiafllc policemen and was sent to the detective bureau. Tho police say that this Is the third case of tills kind within a month. A sharp watch has been kept at Broad Street Station, but each time the thief has managed to elude the detectives. A description of tho man has been obtnlned nuncier. nnu irom now on the watch will bo redoubled. The victim of the swindling game was chiefly worried because he feared ho would be unable to get back to Italy, but It s understood that the Italian Consulate will send him to his native land.

KAISER'S PERSONAL ORDER BROUGHT VON HAUSEN HOME "Shake-up" of Staff Due to "Bad Strategy," Is Berlin Rumor. BBBLIN, Oct. i. Constant nnd apparently welUgroundecl reports prevail hero that tho Kaiser has shaken up hla General BtafT and replaced at lenst one general nt the front, because of the bnd strategy and worse tactics which have compelled tho Germans to fight again to recover French territory which they once held( especially around Ilhelmr. General Von Hauson, formerly Minister of War In Saxmny, Is the general men tlonal ns having boen deposed and re placed by the Kaiser's porsonal orders, Ho oonimnndsd Army No. 3, also known as tho Army of Saxony. Wo ban been succeeded by General von Elncm, for morly War Minister In Prussia. While It has been generally known that Von Hansen hnd been replaced, It was said that his 111 health was the cause. But Berlin has now heard that It was the Kaiser's dissatisfaction with thin general's operations In the field that caused tho "Illness of convenience," which resulted In his withdrawal from the front and the appointment of Von Klncm to succeed him, Tho bad three weeks thnt Germnny lias had In Franco, after hor earlier successes, have created a feeling of doubt In tho capital, but Just ns this feeling was be ginning to shako the confidence of the country In tho final outcome the news of tho nchlevemcnts of the submarine U-9, under Captain Weddgon, In sinking tho Aboitklr, Huguc and Cressy, came to ro storo a mensuro of confidence and dissi pate thu gathering doubts. UNITED STATES TROOPS TO STAY IN MEXICO Evacuation of Vera Cruz Indefinitely Postponed. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The evacuation of Vera Cruz, originally scheduled for Oc tober 1, today was delayed until October 11 nt the earliest, and It Is probablo that the American troops will not lcavo the Mexican fort for some tlmo after that date, on account of the uncertainty of tho situation In the Interior. Following the receipt of dispatches In dicating thnt the Villa revolt Is gaining gruuiU If the north of Mexico, Counselor Lansing, of the State Department, re quested Major General Wotherspoon, chief of staff, not to move the troops for some time. Instructions accordingly were sent to Genernl Funston not to commence preparations for departure until after Oc tober II. War Department officials today ndmlttcd that the actual date of the evacuation of Vera Cruz Is "very problematical." It depends not only on tho result of the various revolutions now In progress, but on the outcome of tho peace conferences scheduled for next week, and on tho willingness of the lenders In Mexico to accept the Cnrrnnza government at tho port of Vera Cruz. The otllclnl explanation for tho delay In the evacuation Is that "the details of the shift of the Civil Government cannot be successfully worked out in a short time."

Fourteen men wero nearly suffocated today when Ihcy rushed back Into tho burning halr-mattress establishment of Nathan Wagman, 1715-17 South Eighth street, to obtain clothing left In the up. per stories. They had barely reached the Becond floor when choking clouds of smoke from burning hair enveloped them. Firemen realizing the plight of tho men dashed Into the building nnd brought tho unfortunate workmen to the street. Tho fire started In tho stock room of tho factory, where quantities of hair used for stuffing mattresses Is stored. Two men wero In tho room at the time. They were Joseph Chapman and Oscar Wagman; )on of tho proprietor of the place. It Is thought spontaneous com btistlon Is responsible for the fire, as smoking is not permitted. Chapman nnd Wngman dnshed from the room, and, going up to the second nnd third stories, warned tho other 14 employes. These ran to tho strcot. Because at first there did not seem to bo much fire In tho building, the men who hnd come out minus their coats and hats, with one accord, dashed back Into the building to recover them. Just ob they reached tho second floor choking clouds of smoke rolled up tho stnlrwny from the burning hnlr room The men were trapped. Fireman hear ing their cries and realizing the danger led the party to Bftfety. "Many persons living In the rear of the burning building hurled nrtlclen of fur niture from windows. Mothers clutching children ran for safety. Hundreds con gregated In tho flttcets. The flames destroyed the lower por tion of the mattress factory, and caused damage estimated by Mr. Wagman at be tween (5000 and $6000. Tho delicatessen store of T Gottlieb, 1713 South Eighth street, was also dam aged by smoke and water. THIRTEEN DOCTORS APPLY Brisk Competition for Post of Resi dent at General Hospital.

What Villa Has Learned From Europe GENERAL VILLA'S demand that no man In military service bo a candidate for the Presidency of Mexico shows almost states- rtllko qualities In the ex-outlaw ana clit." It is remarkable how "Fancno has learned the dangers which threaten Kr. coverumGnt when It Is in the hands of a nflitnrv cllnue. however good the intentions tar flint cllnue may be. Villa. It la said, can "barely read printed script, proceeding by Byllnbles Hue a child, litit tnero is ono uuuis which evidently ho has lenrned. It Is tho truth which Europe Is now realizing to the tune of cannon and cries of woe. Not only a backward nation like Mexico, but a great nation like Germany and a great civinzea rnntlncnt llko Eurooe are today paying tho terrible price of governments beset with tho hden of armaments ann contronea oy hn niirlniis fnr military glory. "There can be no 'land and liberty" for the goplo of Mexico until tho avenues leading neace and progress aro In the hands or. Wnen devoid of military instincts and thrilled with tho. ideals of civic consciousness. Villa's avowed principles are right. May his acts bo governed theroby! Railroad Prosperity-Via Economy COUPLED with the welcome news that the Pennsylvania and tho Reading railroads will not increase thoir passenger rates, as at first announced, is a significant reason In the August report of tho former railroad. Tho net operating income shows a substantial 'increase over last year. It doe3 not mean unusual prosperity for the road; but it does mean unusually good management. For tho Becret of tho Increase is economy. On another occasion when there wns talk of Increased rates, Louis Brandeis called forth cheera and curses by the suggestion that the roads of tho United States could leave rates where they were and save an immenso amount each day by better management. The Pennsyl vania is putting it into practice. In August ttho operating Income of tho system fell oft U'.GOO.OOO, yet the month shows a net gain aver last year of $331,000. Tho answer Is on 1 conomy of over J2,S00,000. Such manago- icnt fulfils every duty to both stockholders and public What America Escaped T7-X THE 19th day of tho Battle of tho J Aisne the losses had been so tremendous, Paris heard, that tho War Office feared to announce them. The black dread of appre hension was better than the facts! Such word IS terrible In Ito significance. It stupe fies. 1'ct out of it comes a new thankful ness for the steady hand that held our troops nt Vera Cruz. Even a tithe of such destruc tion were too much. Labor Making Itself Responsible STRIKES and wars ore on n par as means of settling conflicts. Sometimes they ara recessary, yet always wasteful, nnd the re sult Is only cmbltterment and mutual dls Hatlsfactlon. No strikes seem so deplorable as those over the Jurisdiction of different unions; men 'Vailed out" boeausu some part of a building has been given to the wrong fculon. Six of the blggeM unions jn the build ing trades have decided such differences uhould bo adjusted by mutual agreement instead of by haphazard conflict with the employer. The organitatlons of the brlcltlayers and masons, tho stonscuttars, t'.e carpenters and joiners, th ersineers, th plasterers and tho hod carriers, Including 50o,000 mn In the TnlVsd Statu, wid Canada, have reached an cgrctvnont that will save thousands of dol lars and largo lossea of lima in a single year. Such sane, progressive step toward the civilizing of industrial conflict is singularly auggestlve in thJ face of the Colorado coal operators' answer to President Wilson last vreek. More Land for Settlement FROM time to .time more or les3 earnest efforts have been made to revise the pub-Jlc-land laws so as to bring them into con formity with new conditions. The acuom Ilih:nent has been inadequate. By a report of the Bureau of Corporations it is shown that lS4 timbrfr owners hold in fee over one-twentieth of the land area of the United mates" 105,600,000 acres, or an area two end one-half times as large as New England; sixteen owners hold 47,800,090 acres. It can not be said, of course, that thU land Is Administered In the Interest of the public -welfare. The dangers of the concentrated ownership of land have been exemplified not only In the Vn ted Slates, but in Mexico and JSnjElKAsaln th's country there Is lwreaBlng Pi cf tl'O fa-t that nothing can be etaci in the way of th develop- ment of our agricultural resources: and It Is very plain that when the land barons have Bocured to themselves the presont and poten tial prolltB from non-agricultural resources, like timber, oil, ores and watr.rpower, they will dispose of largo tracts to settlers at prices which may or may not bo reasonable. Sufficient regulation and control should bo exercised over tho disposal of theso great holdings to prevent unduo obstruction of their agricultural utilization. Penrose on PcnroBciBtn TUB Penrose reply to Roosovott's denun ciation Is art delicious nn examplo of humbuggery ns has appeared In American political literature In years. "Mr. Roosevelt," declares the senior Sen ator and directing head of the Organization, "has been delivered bodily Into the control of ono of the most discredited and notorious municipal bosses who has ovor appeared in American politics. Ho seems to havo sur rendered entirely to William l-'llnn, whose nfflllatlons with crooked political methods and scandalous municipal contracts consti tute ono of tho most repugnant chapters in the annals of corrupt politics." Mr. Penrose, it appears, is qulto convinced In IiIb own mind that men who have had anything to do with corrupt politics and crooked political methods should be anath ema. But how apt Ills' excoriation would be if for "Mr. Roosevelt" tho words "Re publican party" were substituted and "Roles Penrose" took the place of "William Flinn." Philadelphia the "Bookies'" Paradise ONCE upon a time It was "Take in your washing, the nctois are coming to town.' Just now It Is tho "bookies" that steal the civic linen. Philadelphia has no racecourse; there is a gambling law on the statute books. But so long ns railroads run nnd horses, too, Havre tie Grace will turn Philadelphia Into a bookmakers' paradise twice a year. Thirty thousand dollars is an "Inside" estimate of tho amount bet here dally In the hotels. What aro wo going to do nbout It? What can be done? Nothing. It Is Bimply tho old interstate skin-game. The righteous man drlvcth evil from his door, and it perches on his neighbor's gate and thumbs Its nose at him. But each year another neighbor casts out the sport of "sports." And there Is hope. Reasonableness of Facts THE ruling class of Germany, which has always been quoting Scripture for Its pur pose, is Justifying Its policy of imperialism in tho nnmo of "culture and civilization." Why not? What is culture for, nnyhow? Is it something to be dispensed to the entire world, or Is It, above all, a license for free and universal exploitation. "Everything that Is, Is reasonable." That was the dictum laid down by Hegel and Interpreted by tho "better" class of Germany to mean that as long ns it had tho power to stifle, to tyran nize, to subjugate, its acts were "reason ble." But Germany may yet learn the lesson that only that Is reasonable which has the factor of necessity and usefulness behind it. rnt. nnmlA nf fiftFmnmr nnrl of thn wnrlr! at I large are rapidly losing patience and sym pathy for arrogance in the nnmc 01 cuuuio and patriotism. And Just as soon as enough of them learn the lesson some thlng3 which seemed perfectly "reasonable" will become exceedingly "unreasonable." Hail, Gentle Humor! HAIL, the books! Gentle Parnassus opens its groves, and all the springs gush forth with a new literary output. The sea son of 1914-15 Is upon us. Wo welcome it, and greet it with smiles. Only may there be no war books among the lot. I-et us havo novels, ye scribblers, novels of love, domestic good-cheer, amity, peace, wholesome adven ture. Give us also some books of humor and let "tho season disclose a fine, new birth of Mark Twains, Artemua Words, Bret Hnrtc, George Ades, Dooleys, tho fellows who make us laugh. Never did the world need laughter more than now. Hall the books especially the books of humor. Preparation and Crisis CHARACTER cannot be transferred from one person to another. It is not a coat to be changed at will, but a moral creation. It cannot be sold like fruit, but muBt bo won by effort. The critical hour which some times decides destiny for the army or tho individual neither makes nor unmakes, but reveals. This is what Wellington meant when he said that the battle of Wnterloo was won on tho cricket field of Eton. Preparation rS the secret of the mastery of the critical hour. Webster's reply to lluyne was a product of an emergency in preparation for many years. In life's small and great things wo must learn to be resolute and strong. One is ready to live worthily when prepared to meet the crisis which Browning calls "tho moment one and Infinite; the tick of one's lifetime," Another rift In the lute of neutrality. Swedish cooking, discovered by the epicures of London, is replacing German. As they say on the street, Mr. Vare has given tho city a concrete example of con tractor bosslsm. There is ntill a chanc for peace in Mexico. In fact, they have peace down there every now and then for several days at a time. Even revolutionists must rest. Recording the reinforcements that turned the tide for the Allies, a headline writer an nounces with unwitting wit: "Some Troops from Thibet." "Some" indeed. If something is not done to stay the im petuous course of the German Crown Prince, the indications are strong that the throne of the Hohenzollerns stands a good chance of having a new heir. I Doctor urumnaugn naa "no respect for bosses and no concern for what they do." The bosses, however, will have a lot of re spect for Doctor Brumbaugh when he once gets the reins in his hands. Of course a man with a name Jik Maran ville can't object If the summary of one game abbreviates him to "Mr'nvl" and puts him down as "Maville" in the other half of the double-header. Men who frequent saloons and dives al wajs register. They are the backbone of political corruption here rnd everywhere else. Yet, even so, the dissolute character who does register and does vote Is a better citizen than the reputable gettleman who does' neither.

PASSED BY THE CENSOR EVERY city, town and village In this wide land of ours has Its so-called characters, nnd Philadelphia Is no exception. Every evening, rain or shine, a well-dressed man may bo seen, sometimes at Tonth'and Market streets, other times at Arch and Broad, liU eyes closed, walking slowly to and fro, de claiming God's word In stentorian tones. He never asks for a cent, never speaks to any one. Ho is said to cam his living making brooms. But it was In West Philadelphia, In tho days gone by, that a man and a woman formed a quaint dual figure. Ho was old and bent. She was wrinkled and withered. He walked down, or up, one side of the street, bellowing: "Any iimbiellas to mend?" And his wife would follow on the other side, Intoning in a shrill voice: "And he's the boy con do it." SPEAKING of characters recalls one cre ated by Alexander Hweot In his paper, Texas Sittings, at one lime the best-known humorous weekly In this country. Colonol Bill Snort, the chavacter in question, lived In Iho While House, ran the country for the President nnd advised Its occupant on things Important and otherwise. So realistically wai the character drawn that, when .President McKlnley swung the circle in Texas, the en thusiastic natives yelled loudly and long for Bill Snort. But the worst Is yet to come. Colonol Sweet Is authority for the story that a man named McGrath, living in San Antonio, who expected a son and heir, wa3 so loyal to Snort that when n daughter arrived he named her Snortlana McGrath! THE most interesting of all modern char acters was the old Leather Man, clad from head to foot In buckskin, who tramped tho hills and dales of Westchester County, Now York, and lived in a cave near Sing Sing. Ho was found dead there in 1SS9. In his cease less wanderings he did occasional odd jobs In plumbing and repairing, but Invariably re fused money for his work, being contented with food or tobacco. He slept In barns. It is said that he was crazed through an unfor tunate love affair In France in 1SC6. As young and good looking Jules Bourglay ho had won the hand ot a wealthy leather merchant's daughter and had entered the man's employ to prove his worthiness. Ho speculated In leather, nnd when a crnsh came in that com modity his employer as well ns himself was Impoverished, nnd his hopes blasted. His mind was unhinged by tne snoci;, nna no came to this country, resolved to do penance by always wearing leather. IT IS STILL a moot question whether Kaiser William was crowned or not. Ac cording to current gossip, tho Kaiser, seeking to be crowned as Emperor of Germany, in stead of German Emperor, after the manner of Charlemagne, sought consent of the rulers of the German homogeny. Several of tho potty rulers refused to give their acknowl edgment, being Jealous of Prussian domi nance. As a result, it is alleged, the Kaiser grew angry and declined to be crowned. Still another story has It that he waited for tha official ceremony until It could take place In Westminster Abbey, although this is a bit doubtful, even for so ambitious a ruler as William. AN INSTANCE where opportunity knocked J and was not admitted is related by a Philodelphian, who in other days lived at a mining camp. One day a prospector asked him to visit a diamond mine with a view to buying. The twain drove to the mine. "Where Is it?" asked the Philadelphia viewing only a pond, with a couple ol weazened ducks on its surface. "Oh, It's there all right. All you've got te do Is to drain olf the water," explained tho minor. "If that's all. you'd better get some darned fool to buy It." And the prospector got a "darned fool," who bought it, and is now ranked as one ol the richest men In England. STOLID, unimaginative Albion has Just one pet superstition in which she believes with considerable lmpliclty Just now, In view of the destruction of four of her cruis ers by German submarines. This superstl .inn .,.n.nt.na iVtft rliiim of Admiral Drake, l 11UII .w-. J about which Henry Newbolt wrote: Take my drum to England, hang it by the hore. Strike It when your powder's running low; If the Dons sight Devon, I'll quit the port of heaven And drum thorn up the Channel, as we drummed them long ago. Whllo Drako's memory was still green. In other days, the Dutch sought lo wrest the supremacy of tho seas away from England and at tho tap of the drum, so the story goes. Drako's spirit wns reincarnated in Blake. Agiiin, when Napoleon threatened invntdon with his legions and tho fate ot England rested on her navy, the beating of the drum brought Horatio Nelson to the fore. Now, perhaps, home one will beat tho drum which Is In possession of a descendant of Drake's brother nnd rests In Bucklnnd Abbey, and cause Admiral Jelllcoe to smash the German licet. A LION once escaped from a traveling circus, somewhere In tho Pennsylvania Dutch etmntry. and all night searchers scoured the country for the animal. Finally they came to a lonely farmhouse, according to the story. "Did you see a Hon tonight?" they asked the woman. "I never seen no Hon, hut a goll darned big calf etraycil Into tho yard tonight, and I tied him to tho pump," replied the woman. She had told the truth, for It was-a calf! BRADFORD. CURIOSITY SHOP The Red Cross was originated In 1862 by Henry Dunant, a Swiss. In the year men tioned ho vUlted the principal European cities in behalf of his plan, and In 1SC3 the first Red Cross organization was effected in Geneva. The convention which actually called tho Red Cross Society, as It exists today. Into being waH held in Geneva on August 22, 1564. The Debatable Land was a strip of terri tory between Scotland and England between tho Rivers Esk ami Sark.

Yn04e, la Iho London IUa, DONE IN PHILi WITH the exit of the Nows-Post the other day, Philadelphia, for tho third time In less than a year, stood dry-eyed at tho bier of on evening newspaper. For tho Item and the Evening Times had at decent Intervals preceded tho News-Post Into oblivion. The fatality In each tnstanco might bo said to havo been the Biimc falluro to recognize tho peculiar field newspapers have to cover In Philadelphia. In each instance the end came suddenly, but as all of the Journals men tioned had shown Blgns of falling health, the demise was not unexpected. THOSE who know the Item only In Us last stages of debility can havo no adequate Idea of tho Immense success that paper once had here. It was started by Colonel Thomns FltzGerald In 1847 ns a weekly. It was a lively sheet, and as the Colonol look a deep Interest In literature, art nnd music, the item stood for something. Colonel FltzGerald wrote several popular songs and a few suc cessful plays that had a good run nt tho Chestnut Street Theatre In Laura Kcene'a time. Afterward he Issued a Sunday Item, which contained the social gossip of alt who would send It In, and sometimes the sheet had men out to gather theso news Items. There wan no mysterious lino of social demarcation; no north or south of Market street to test the social validity of the parties. But the dances, balls, "sociables" nnd other entertainments were reported ns fully as their members could write of them. IT WASN'T high artln Journalism, but It made business, and' that was what the Colonel wanted. Then, tho Item was pro gressive in Its stand on Improvements, and Its local news wns always told In the fullest detail If the caso reported happened to be sensational. A good murder was likely to fill three columns, and a first-class suicide waa always good for a column, with nlco little, halr-ralslng, breath-stopping subheads that seemed to spring from their appointed place In the article to becomo a kind of field mar shal for the typo that followed. In those days the Item used to receive Its general news from the morning papers. It did not have much to pay for telegraph tolls or cablegrams. I remember hearing that the Colonel had rccolved permission from Georgo W. Chllda to got two Public Ledgers from the Lrdoeh cellar as ho passed every morning at 5 o'clock on his way to the Item ofllce. By 7 o'clock, when tho first of the printers arrived, the Colonel had columns of news, with alluring headlines over them, ready to bo set Into type. At times he took a. fancy to tho editorials In tho morning papers and these also were introduced ob the editorial opinions of tho Item the same day. The Colonel did not believe in disturbing credit lines. Tho Colonol was "strong" on local happen ings, nnd these, ns I have indicated, were treated in a manner that was original with the Item. The paper was regarded ns so sensational that even its daily readers did not always place implicit confidence in what they read in its columns. In this they prob ably were unjust, for excepting details of harrowing accidents, murders or other excit ing matters, I bellevo that an attempt at truth was always made. IN THOSE days, say 25 or 30 years ago, the Item, even if It did not havo the circula tion figures painted on its many wagons, did exceed that of all the other evening papers combined, and this In spl'e of tho fact that the Item was by no means so good as tho others. What was tho reason? It was the Himplcst thing in the world, but it took years for the other evening papers to discover and appreclato It at its true value. The reason for this immense circulation of the old Item was that In the remote parts of the city the Item was the only afternoon pa per that could bo bought. It was also dis tributed regularly at all points within a radius of 35 or 40 miles from Philadelphia. And It was the only Philadelphia afternoon sheet that you could buy when away from the city. If a traveler wanted a Philadelphia afternoon paper at South Bethlehem he had to buy the Item. And he did buy it. But progressive as the Item was In those days, when Its distribution required probably more than BO wagons every day, it neglected to spend money on the improvement of the sheet Itself. The newspaper businoss was moving at a fast pace, but the Colonol did not seo It. He had borrowed his general news for so long that he did not realize that the time had come to change. THE story of the -ther two evening papers that have recently left us Is in some re spects a very different one. While the Fltz Geralds did not recognize the demands that were being made upon newspapers of the better tpe, the owners of the Evening Times nnd of tho News-Post did not realize that In the Quaker City they had a peculiar problem to solve if they expected a conquest of the field. It must have beendlsturblng to the Scrlpps McRae Syndicate to learn that their publica tion would not go in Philadelphia. They had done the same sort of thing In other parts of the country, and had made good. The West had taken their Idea to their satisfac tion, and, of course, they very naturally did not believe that Philadelphia would behave differently. But It did. It is not too much to say that Philadelphia has always behaved differeutly from any other American city. BECAUSE Philadelphia Is so very different, promoters of various kinds of enterprises fall here while they have mnde fortunes else where. They then go forth and tell the rest of the country that Philadelphia Is a back number. But we are not angered or oven hurt. We forgive them and return to our la bors as if nothing had happened. GRANVILLE. THE IDEALIST Thousands of young men and young women are forced to give up school or college before the copipletion of their courses. It Is safe to say that only a small percentage of these plan out a course of self-education and adhere to It. A fallacy exists In the minds of many whose educational work Is cut short to the effect that one cannot possibly obtain any where else the knowledge which a school or college course offers. A young man or young woman intent upon continuing ht6 or her education work has the problem nlne-tenths solved when he or she refus.es to believe in this fallacy. It is only necessary to look around In order to learn that the opportunities for self-education are well-nigh unlimited: that the opportunities are almost free of cost. There are free lecture course In all sorts of Institutions and upon all sorts of topics; there are libraries with thousands upon thou sands of valuable books.

VIEWS OF READERS ON TIMELY TOPICS Contributions That Reflect Public Opin ion on Subjects Important to City, State nnd Nation. To the Editor of the Xvenlno Lttaert Sir I have read with Interest In the Issue of the EVENiNd Ledoer on September 26 the edi torial, "Calm of Germany." The following sentences seemed to mo par tlcularly Interesting: "It Is only now that sober second thought Is beginning to draw from our minds the animus that was natural to the first news of war. Wo are beginning to contrast the differing spirits In which the combatants have undertaken tho titruRglfl. Wo are learning more and more of the petty hysteria that flooded England and France with confusion worse confounded. We arc discovering from returned tourists that It did not extond to Germany. It does much to bring back sanity whon we learn that Berlin proceeds on almost its normal course, with theatres open, trams running, ready money for all and no moratorium, We must at least ro npect such signs of civilization In the faeo ot world-wldo vituperation and hysteria Permit mo to lemlnd you of an editorial pub llshed some days ago, entitled "True to Their Convention "Through tho hideous red war mist two ifaCts stand out plainly. One fact Is that Great dlrlt aln, with sincerity that must bo conceded,, car ried out her written promise, her trcaty pllghted wotd lo Belgium. She knew there would be a fearful price to pay; she didn't fal ter; that future nBreemciits wilt mean what they say, and shall not bo 'scraps of paper, to bo torn nnd tossed to the winds at the cynical caprice of any ruler." Can It be that this "sober second thought" of the Evening Lkdoek owes Its conception to German Influence? I3LBANOR CUYLER PATTERSON. Chestnut Hill, Pa., September 26, 11)14. MORE WAR TALK To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir We are looking at this war as Americans; It Is a formative period of our nationality. Wo do not want to be Russian-Americans ori French or Italian, German or English, theroroirej anything which tends to excite and keep altvel lace antagonisms Is a crime against our nation ality, our fatherland. As Americans we cannotj but note the arrogance and overweening disre gard of the feelings nnd rlchts of others whlchj Is being displayed by thoso Americans whoso origin Is In one cf the tribes now at war, Wcj can sympathize with the Idea of "Tho Father land," but we do not want to have it crammed down our throats as if no other nation had thtl same feeling, perhaps not expressed In sucll uncouth gutturals, but Just as real Among thoso who voluntarily left their native land andl declared their Intention of becoming Amerlcara citizens, and who now nre not to any groat oxl tent offering their blood for that name Father! land, tho tendency to flaunt the cry in the fac of their fcllow-cltlzcns Is not only ueplornDli had manners, but a. positive wrong. If nns doubt this let them read a publication recentll started called "Tho Fatherland.' AN AMERICAN. Philadelphia, October 1, 1914. PENROSE AND LIQUOR To the Editor 0 the Evening Ledger: Sir On the last page of to-day's EvnNir LEDQEn I note two attacks on Penrose aimed the direction. of the barroom. Roosevelt llnlj up crooked politics with liquor support, a your enterprising photographer shows tho wj dow ot a bottling establishment with the Sc ntor'a face prominently displayed. The Inf ence In both cases Is, of courso, that Pcnnj must bo evil because of his connection wj the liquor interesta, and should, therefore, defeated. I. myself, am thoroughly in sympathy w the effort to annihilate Penrose; he Is a blotpn the State map. But I am sorry thut any thine in the campaign ngjlnst him should seem to miko capital for the already strong prohibition move ment which Is sweeping tho South and thifeat ens even Pennsylvania. Prohibition Is not the right way to deal with the liquor question. There are many evils In the trado, just as there aro old gang politicians In the Republican puty. Both need purging. Strict Government rcl.ula tlon, ultimate ownership. Is what the whisky trado needs. Meanwhile, let us not lonfuso Is suer. B. B. K. Philadelphia, September 29. 1914. COMPLAINS OF MOTORMEN To the Editor 0 the Euening Ledger; Sir I desire to call your attention to the fla grant disregard of the "safety first" principles on tho part ot motormen on our street cars. Time and ngnln I havo nitlccd their hands oft starters and brakes. Time and again I have seen them talking with the conductor, or some passenger, their head turned backward Some conductors havo a habit not only of talking to women of their acquaint m e, who may be passengeis. but of iorcing their more or less welcome attentions on young girls I trust that tho Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company will take cognizance of this, com plaint.

At first did not recognize this strange chauffeur. Then he dismounted, and I saw my friend! nut what a change was there! Gone was the quiet demeanor, gone the unob trusive air! He and his curious chariot shared the s.-imo odd Jaunty look. Per haps 1 have misjudged him, but It struck me that his clothes wcro of a loud and noisy cut The oddest little hat that I have ever seen was perched at a strange angle on his head. Beneath it beamed n very Kindly face, its true perhaps I urn I too sensitive- to outward looks, but oh! I thought the enormous rose ho sported In his buttonhole was ill-advised. I slowly came down to the entrance- hall and met him there. He seized my hand In genuine glee. "Why, Miss Adair," cried ho, "you do look fine tonight! My car is waiting, eO please step right In.

"I see you are not accustomed to auto moblllng." remarked my companion air ily, "before the evening's over, you will feel quite at home Inside a motorcar!" I felt that I most certainly should not! T ln noticed that, for tho professed owner of a car, this gay young man tils- played a strange ignorance or tno very elements of Its mechanism.

At almost every corner we ran up on the pavement, and only by most violent Jerklngs of the wheel was final equili brium restored. It was a dreadful, dreadful time! At length we reached a roadside Inn, and there we paused. In spite of a strange shaking of the knees, I scrambled out with all celerity. The place was lit up garishly, and at the little tables everywhere I saw an odd variety of people sitting. In one corner, a piano was thumping out a popular air, while a strange young man gamboled playfully around the room, assuring vry one In a high falsetto thut "ttie high cost of loving" was "keeplnr him broke," that "the high cost f living" was "only a Joke" that he "borrowed from mother, from sister and brother, to try to keep up with the tyW but that apparently all these strenuous efforts were of no avail, for he'd "have to stop loving Awhile." My companion and I satSiown at the nearest table, and the first thing he ordered struck me as rather peculiar It was two "Breaths of Spring." I had never heard of anything so strange! "Please bring a Bronx along, too," he called out after the waiter. THE DIZZY BLONDE. I looked around the crowded room, and great gaiety everywhere. Right at a table opposite were the oddest couple. A very large, very stout lady of uncer tain years was flirting desperately with very small, very timid-looking little man. He giggled wildly at her poorest Joke, yet looked aa if he really were afraid of her. He had a timid, de precating air The lady'a coiffure was a dizzy shade ef sold. Her gown was a bright blue, and, like herself, a good long way from it first youthful freshness. Yet she had a truly artless and a kittenish air, and every now and then would playfully tap her little partner opposite with a large and heavy hand I noticed that he started nervously at each approaching symptom of such playfulness' Surely the punctuation of her Jokes did not re quire, such Spartan methods) A curious thing ocourred Just at this moment My escort turned and saw this oddly aliened couple. With a loud shout of glee, he whisked across the room, and seized the large hands of the dizzy blonde I heard him address her in rapturous tones as "Klddo1" Wlij she looked over forty If a da Just for cue KAaentl thought that this in ist he finMrVUl joxe mat r: was playing f!

The Japanese, when thoy make kimonos, run them up by hand with great long stitches, so that they can bo ripped easily beforo they arc laundered. While It Is not necessary to gallop along n seam as they do, It Is a. mistake to think the firmness of machine stitching Is essential, or of very close hand sowing. Tho effoct is Just ns artistic without tho fine sewing, and perhaps even more so. For In sowing, If the Inspiration flags, ono has an Incompleted garment on one's hands, or one that has been fin ished with so much labor that It Is n re minder of tired nerves, rathor than some thing that suggests relaxation and rest.

SANTA CLAUS HEARS CLAMOR FOR TOY GERMAN SOLDIERS London Laddies Win All Battles in Militant Game. LONDON, Oct. 2. German soldiers are popular in London of a certain sort. Ac cording to a toy merchant patriotism militates against the sale of all German made toys, except German toy soldiers, and so great Is tho demand for these that by Christmas Santa Claus will need tho aid of British artisans to manufacture more of these toy Germans, for no more are being Imported. The toyman ex plained the demand for German soldiers by tho fact that the English youngstdrs nre anxious to pit them against British toy soldiers, the latter army, of course, always winning. He said: "No lad with any patriotism would call any of his British soldiers Germans, nnd as It Is necessary to have nn army of the enemy they are buying German soldiers." Of course, the sale of British soldiers Is much greater, for the youthful Britons believe In preponderating numbers to smash tho enemy. There is a big move ment on foot to have all German-made toys boycotted. A CLEAB-SEEINQ EYE "I love you for all I'm worth," pro tested the man. "I rather think It's for all I'm worth," replied the girl. CHILDREN'S CORNER if in, the sunshine for a while. Then pretty soon the fairies mounted the butterflies' backs again and away they flew in search of more fun. "Where shall we take you?" asked the leader butterfly after they had drifted about for a while. "I should like to go to a flower gar den," said the leader fairy. "I should like to play among the flowers." "All right I" replied the leader but terfly happily, "I like flowers, too; and the garden is the very place wc love to go." So they flew over and into the big garden. But what do you suppose they found there? Flowers?

The open fire! What a cheerful thought for theso chilly autumn nights, and what a delight to sit besldo the blazing logs at the closo of the day, to watch the glowing embers take on a thousand weird shapes! The owner of the fireplace hero pictured knows nil of this Joy, and knows, too, that In order to seo theso fire pictures there must bo a good bed of ashes In tho fireplace. Mrs. Fireplace-owner Is usually In de Bpalr, for even with tho grcntest care the ashes spill over on the hearth, and are certainly untidy In tho cold light of day and right hero a good suggestion Is ottered In the picture of an iron strip, which holds tho offending ashes in placo. A very neat finish Is the result, making tho wonderful glow that Is only pos&lblo with ashes a pleasure, with a clean hearth. One can see that the owner of this cheerful fireplace also knows the com fort of tho wood box full of logs near at hand. The tongs, brushes, etc., nre ar ranged for use, while the nlco old shovels look ns If they had done service for said owner's grandfather. You know, of course, that tho glowing embers carefully covered with ashes, aft er many hours can be uncovered, a llttlo fresh wood thrown on, and with a fow puffs of the generous bellows near at hand tho fire Is blazing. Tho broad lines of this chimney and paneling are particu larly good and show that tho owner not only knows how to make a fire, but how to build the fireplace. v THE EAGLE EYE "How is It," Inquired a yrning bride of an older married friend, "thnt you al ways manage to have such delicious beef?" "It's very simple," said the older wom an. "I first select a good, honest butcher, and then I stand by him." "Tou mean that you give him all of your trade?" "No; I mean that I stand by him while he Is cutting the meat." A CUBE FOB HOABSENESS To restore a voice rendered hoarso hy much speaking, eat n pleco of anchovy. If there Is no cold or fatigue the effect Is almost instantaneous. flowers and some half scattered seed pods were all that were left of the once fragrant garden. "What in the world can be the mat ter?" exclaimed the butterflies in dis tress. "Something dreadful has happened," cried the sunbeam fairies. "Can't we find some one who can tell us where the flowers are?" asked the butterflies. "Wait a minute," cried a sunbeam fairy, "let me jump down and find the Garden Toad. He lives here and he is wise above all creatures he will tell us what has happened." So the sunbeam fairy jumped down from the butterfly's back nnd hunted among the golden glow roots for the old Garden Toad. Finally she found him. half asleep, under some wilted leaves. "Tell me what has happened," she cried, "tell me quickly." "What has happened?" asked the Toad, blinking, "happened where?" "Happened here in the garden," she cried. "Nothing has happened," replied the Toad calmly. "Cut where are all the flowers?" in sisted the fairy, "all the flowers I love so well?" "Oh, those," said the Toad kindly, "the flowers are gone. Winter is com ing. There will be no more flowers till spring." "But the sun is warm and I want some flowers," said the fairy. "All right, I'll give you some," said a new voice, the voice of the fairy queen of the garden, who happened just then to pass by. And she wavec1 her wand and chansred the nine little butterflies to nine white blossoms an a bush close by. "It's too late for butterflies any way," she said and she strolled away. And the sunbeam fairies? They Elayed and laughed. And the nine utterfly blossoms? They were hap py; for if you're happy, it makes no difference what you are I If ever you see a white bloom in an autumn garden, look closely maybe it, too, is a butterfly!

"I am writing about the Stefansson dogs because Scotty Allan, who acted In an advisors' capacity while Stefansson was purchasing dogs for the expedition, told me he thought the former owners and friends of the dogs would like to know what became of them. "By referring to my diary I see that on September 20 last wo started on a caribou hunt, taking two sleds and 12 dogs. Stefansson had a team composed of Snap (leader), Joe, Buster, Charlie, Denby and Brltt. He went ahead to pick a trail over the rough Ice. while Asatahak and I stayed with tho sled. "Poor old Brltt worked like a horse every minute of the trip. Joe was killed In a fight while Captain Barnard was at a whale carcass getting dog food. Watch died In tho bnrn at Colliston Point.

PACIFIC TRADE BETTER Southern Pacific Purchasing Agent Snys Business is Sound. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 2.-That Pacific Coast business has Just passed safely through a somewhat trying crisis and has settled to a tane, sound anil gratifying licalty plane, with splendid promises of steady Improvement, is tho opinion horo of I. O. Rhoades, general purchasing agent for the Southern Pacific Railway. Rhoades has Just returned from an ex tended trip of the Coast. He purchases from 115,000,000 to 120.000,000 of bupplies each year for his company from various points and from nearly looo firms. "The. era of extrnvaganco nnd waste Is now a thing of the past," said Rhoades. "A reaction has set In, and peo ple are now getting down to sound and economical living. I believe tho hard times were duo largely to the unduly large profits which had been made during the period preceding. Profits aro not so large now, but goods are selling more ramdly. "Tho country trade Is growing stronger. It Is stronger than the trade In the city. Peoplo are not buying so many luxuries now, but they aro buying the things they need. Where before a woman would pay $75 for a hat, she now pays $15 and seems perfectly satisfied. In the hotels the high-priced rooms aro not being taken, but the hotel register shows that the number of patrons Is Just sb large, If not larger, than before. Tailors arc selling lens expensive clothes, shoo men are selling cheaper shoes and dry goods stores are selling lower-priced goods. The com plaints of hard times are now coming chiefly from those buslnens concerns that nre dealing In luxuries. The man who Is really producing something finds a ready market for his product."

Chlneso Woman Seeks Divorce WAR ROBS KING GEORGE OF HIGHLAND OUTING Stories of Adventure Amuse Royalty) Cheer for Men. LONDON, Sept 20. Usually at this period of the year the King and Queen and all tho court are at Balmoral enjoying the Highland sports of grouse shooting, deer stalking and fishing. But, like the majority of their sub ject, there Is no holiday for their maj esties this year. Every day thoy aro to bo seen driving through the city with but a small escort their mission inspect ing one or other of tho hospitals whore lie their wounded soldiers, the Queen pasting down ono line of beds In a ward, the King another, sitting by and chat ting to tho stricken men, asking them their experiences and listening to tho replies. Some of tho stories are sorry enough, but, while the Queen Is sweet and sym pathetic, the ICIng do's his best to cheer up his men, so that even amid these touching scenes some of the Incidents are not devoid of a humorous aspect "Another gone as a souvenir," eald tho ICIng, pointing to a tunlo lacking the regimental badge, and the little scene was repeated several times. Some of the men were rather abashed, but the King's smile quickly reassured them. All said that they were eager to git back to tho fighting tine. The King spoke to the men about the work they had been doing on the con tinent He Inquired how the regimental boots stood the strain of heavy march ing, nnd asked about the equipment gen erally. His Majesty was keen to know what the Royal Scots thought of their headgear as a protection against the hot sun, and smiled when the men, though loyal to their bonnets, said they would have bean glad If "something had kept more sun off." Tho King was compelled to laugh at tho strongly expressive phrases In which the enemy was described. One man said that he had not been wounded In the "ordinary way," but that whllo he was lying down on a grassy slope, well re moved, as he thought, from the passing convoys, a cart was accidentally driven over his foot, crushing, It. "Oh, hard luck!" exclaimed the King. MODERN BULLETS CLASSED ACCORDING TO SHAPES Of Three Categories Dum-dums Aro Deadliest The various bullets used by armies of civilized nations admit of being grouped In three classes, says the New York Medical Journal. One of these classes of projectiles Is called the reduced calibre, Jacketed bullet. Tho second class Includes the leaden balls In shrapnel nnd the blunt nosed bullet formerly In use in the British army and subsequently used by tho Servians. To tho third class belong the expanding bullets, the soft nosed bullet and the dum-dum bullet. Some authorities speak of the first class as tho pointed bullet It hns less stop ping power than tho other two. The greater part of tho nations of the world uso tho oglval bullet, a pointed bullet whose tip forms an obtuse angle like an arch. The two bullets now In use, tho oglval and the blunt nosed, have a rotary and a wabbling motion. On Impact they pro duce a wound like that mado by the blow of a hammer. This effect seems to bo observed at all ranges, but partic ularly nt 1000 yards. Here the gyroscopic steadiness due to rotation Is lost; the bullet may even turn on Its axis and produce explosive effects. Lateral Im pact seems the only explanation of these explosive effects. The unstable Japanese bullet, unstable because It Is the lightest and smallest In use, makes at 800 to 1000 yards per foiatloiis which are large, without explo sive exits, and In tho soft viscera a wide track showing a gieat deal of la ceration. These effects are probably thf result of the bullet's course, which Is a tangent to the curve of the trajectory. Before It takes a curve, at very short ranges, It has effects loss severe, but hero Its stopping power li less. In this respect it Is much Inferior to the blunt nosed bullet. The action of both these typfs of modern bullets on tho human body would at n- .t sight seem to be the same, but careful Inspection of wounds during the Balkan war Bhows that wounds caused by tho sharp nosed Ger man or Turkish bullet were on tho whole more fnvor.ible for speedy healing than those caused by tho blunt nosed Servian bullet. There Is, however, a rnarke.l defect of tha pointed bullet. The i exult of shav ing off tho tip and shoulder to a fine point Is to throw the centre of gravltv vory far back; this peculiarity tends to make the bullet travel on Its transverse axis This effect increases wounding power by increasing the area of the wound The dumdum bullet has a Jacket nnd a core of load, but Its special quality Is the projection of the lend beyond the mantle When it strikes an o "t the soft lead spreads out In the Miapo of u mushroom, hence the bullet causes wounds that have great stopping power.

RICE GROWS IN CALIFORNIA Now One of Most Important Prod ucts in Sacramento Valley, There Beems to be no limit to tho pro ductive possibilities of California. Now It appears that rice ha been established as ono of the most Importnnt products of tho Sacramento Valley and bids fair to rival In valuo all Its older com petitors. The latest reports state that tho country In the vicinity of Orovllle Is producing rice which need not fear competition, either as to quantity or qunllty. Some years since the rice experts of tho Department of Agriculture began a series of experiments which demon strated tlu adaptability of the soil nnd climate In parts of the Sacramento Valley to the raising of this grain. This was found to be especially true of the land Immediately about Biggs, where a yield of 3000 pounds nti acre was har vested, which won the gold medal at the Seattle exposition of 1S09. This good showing was mnlntnlned In 1910. and the following year 6000 bushols were taken from a planting of 150 acres. The value of this to tho growers was given as $4000. In 1912 the acreage jumped to H00, with a total yield of 70.000 pounds and a valuo of $64,000. The next year there was a further advanco to 6000 acres, from which 12.000 tons were taken, bringing the producers $450,000. Today, according to the Orovllle Register, there are 20,000 ncrcs planted to rice In. Butte County alone, whllo the planting has extended to Yuba, Glenn, Colusa and Sutter Counties, nnd to numerous sections of the San Joaquin Valley, notably Tularo County. CORN KERNEL CURTAINS Michigan Man Says They Are Pret tier Than Many Others. A Michigan man hns made a portiere of corn kernels which Is, hr declares, far superior to those made of heads or pnper tubes used In making the ordinary Jap anese kind. He tnkes ordinary field corn, sais Popular Mechanics, and places the kernels In boiling water where they soak for twenty-four hours, preparing only a little at a time, us they mHy sour. The kornels aro then strung on No. 8 cotton thread, double from the needle. Each strund Is made a foot longer than the doorway to allow for shrinking. Sound kernels are used and caic Is taken not to split them witli the needle. The corn will shrink In drying and should therefore be examined and tho kernels pushed together. A loop at ono end of enrh string, all of the same length. Is made and nil strung on a pole They nre then ready for varnishing, which Is dime by dipping tliem In vurnl.h wanned somewhat They arc then hung up to drain n.nl dry This niubi bo thoroughly dune ami not too quIcMy. When dry tlie aie hung on Jlie pole In the door space. The ends of the threads can bo clipped even as the kernels will not come off They may bo diied any color nnd designs made of different colors of the corn. Hut the delng does not make as pretty a portiere, the experimenter thinks, as the plain color of the corn. The length of the strings may be made to suit the maker. A good method Is to mako them short in the center, increasing to full length at tho sides. TODAY'S MARRIAGE LICENSES Wllllum S Jlurra Jr.. -'..OS N".

Pure guess work may serve In the end ns well ns an attempted analy sing However, when the teams are ana lysed there nrc two processes which tuny kbe used figures alone and a comparison based on judgment, regardless ot mat he- liatlcs lOtivlously nny one who cares to arrive what ho believes to be a decision on i result of the world's scries will Im- liedlately discard blind chance. Hence khe'flcld narrows down to a dissection of Lie tennis either on the basis of averages on a non-mathematlcnl adjudgement. btalncd from witnessing the men In ptlon. We believe that this last Is a Iethod which would stand a competent iBerver In the best stead. Fudging the Athletics and Hrnes on I'orngefl Is as apt to bring one to on jmcous conclusion as the prediction llior'-e race based on tin- time tun Is. have made In the past. On the that a given horse Is "doped ou to Jtet track may be muddy, 01 a hun- othcr circumstances may comwno Bulllfy the chances.

It Is con- (able that If the American League tflcldera had been playing against the .ves, a hundred of their lilts tms sea- bmlght have been killed by mese men Unc the balls differently, or, on the Itr hand, the Braves might have n ndred more hits to tnoir crcini u mey Id been In Ban Johnsons circuit in tail nt Oovnrnor Tener's. In cither lent, conclusions based on such unstable Premises would have little value. Not only that, but the scoring or tne hits may lead one astray. Any one wno has ever sat In a press dox ai a oai game knows that on practically every bad missed by an Inllelder there will bo a wide divergence of opinion as to whether the batsman should be credited rith a hit or the fielder with an error, hiis applies to fielding as well as hitting.

This morning all the Athletics, regulars i and rookies, were at the ball yard early. taoroe of the oungsters were In uniform and went through practice. The regulars hooked on and discussed their chances fwjth the Braves. Then, too, those who I have recently seen the Braves play had few remarks So make to their fellow InaTara In the series money. Within the olrlcei ot the club today tilings were Ihumminr. The huge mass of details iir the world's series which has to be Hended to will be looked after by John lbe. Von Ohl and Joe Ohl, while tinle Mack hinuelf will act as usual Ian advlsor capacity. irrangements have not been completed concerning the llrst trip to Boston towever. it is likely that on next Satur day night the Athletics will tiuvu two Vnecial Pullmans hooked on to the S'ederal Express.

ThN Is made the more Impressive when om- lenllzeti that tho two leagues are vastly different. Some think the Ameri can League the stronger, others choose the .National. Hence, If one league Is stronger thnn the other, which Is prob ably ii fact, the averages' value Is set Ht iiiuiKiii wimuui liirtner argument, be cause they do not apply to equals. It may he argued that the Athletics defeated the Giants In 1911 and In 1H1.1 when the nnte-sinsoii llgures Miuwcd that they would. The Hguro. to be ure. before those series did favor the Athletics. If i their fare vnlueo wrre tiken ns wxact j comparisons. But what about the Cubs Athletics series of lfltO- Tlie Glants-Ited Soc mix-up in 1912 and tho series of 19OT j when the White Sox won from the Tubs? Before each of those series it was cnl- culateil by the statisticians that tho team which ultimately lost would prove a winner. Most fans rememlx-r how Hugh lullortnti tli'iiifH tim ....i.. nr mm Ho had them only down to such a nicety that he not showed (before the scries) that the Athletics did not have a chance, but he undertook to sav Jest how many more feet Tinker, for Instance, could cover at short thun Barry. Also he proved, to his own satisfaction, that the pitching was 3 per cent, of the strength of both teams and that as the Athletics' pitchers were Inferior to those on the Cubs' squad, nnother conclusion drawn' from llgures. the Mackmen would not have a chance. What happened In that series Is history. The Cubs didn't hac a chance. Leaving, therefore, nil figures out of the question and Judging tho players In dividually and the teams as a whole, we find thai several things will plav an Im portant part In the coming series. The mental attitude of the players doubtless The VM,l!rf. tI,p,rc3,lIt- Just how far the Athletics' confidence will carry them ?ho fle.M hC mai?ty of th0 m on no- JL ny 'nas ,n ,1C 'l,lle In 1?,; 7 r Sfl,mc P'OWS have, there foie, had wo.jd-,, se., e-sperience In those same years, and hao won ?n a save tho nno wMch ab give 'the "Cu" Cl," T,,e" fi,?. -nckinpn Just the confidence they nee,! to defeat tholr rival" whUe George Stalllngs Is schooling hl m.n dally to pay the game and not th!nof former are far better hitters than their r vals.

The Athletics, on the other hand, have eight men each of whom Is almost equally feared by the opposing pitcher. Speed In the field will play an Important part In the coming world's series. In this department of play observations again shows that the Mackmen have an advan tage. Maranvllle and Evers are great performers around second base, although the hardly play un to the standard of the. Bunyf'olllns combination. As for the other two men on the Infield. Smith and Schmidt, third and first baseman, re spectively, they are not In the tanie class with H.iker and Mclnnls as ,i combina tion, although Smith Is much nearer to Baker in nUdlng ability than Schmidt la to Mclnnis. In the outfield, the Athletics have a big advantage. One need only see Strunk rnd Oldrlng covering ground m reallzs that there Is not another pair of players on the same club In the country who can compare with them. The Boston outfield ers, Connolly, Devore, Mann, father, Gil bert and Moran. are not better than the average major leaguer, which is not sum clently good to warrant their compari son with champions of recognised ability. A comparison of the pitchers of the two teams is too long a theme to be under taken here. However. It Is worth men tioning that despite the fact that James, Tyler and Budolph have had a fine year, they still lack the knowledge upon which Bender and I'lank can fall back In a serious crisis. The veteran Athletic hurl ers are gi-tting in shape now for the series. They always do better work In a pinch than they do at other times. Hence they have always been able to rise to greater heights In a. world's series than during the league season.

I"4 1" KIT create of TIMELY SKETCHES ON IMPORTANT Gridiron News Pennsylvania Eleven Is On Edge for Its Contest With Franklin and Marshall To morrow. By EDWABD R. BTJSHNELIi At last Pennsylvania's frBshm.m foot ball team, painted by enthusiastic un dergraduates In ull sorts of rosy hues, baa had a try-out All week, as they watched the scrubs tight drawn battles with the varsity, the first year men have be'-ii aching for a chance to make good. They got It yesterday, find If what they did to the .varsity represents only the beginning of the progress they should make between now and November 1, we !ce where some school teams and fresh men elevens from other Institutions are going to have some unpleasant after noons. After the varsity had beaten the scrubs yosterday by a fluky touchdown word was sent to Louis Young, the freshman coach, to bring on his young furies, When the freshmen got the ball for their first scrimmage they went at the varsity with such ferocity, and moreover, took the ball down the field with such rapidity that the varsity coaches were fright ened at the retreat of their charges. Stack, who played right end for the freshleH, and Boss and Welch In the back field were the boys who did most 'of the execution. Stack, picking the pigskin out of the air with ns much case as one would a baseball, drew applause even from til0 varsity substitutes. Once Inside tho 3-ynrd line the three varsity coaches lined up behind their charges and personally coached them to throw back the young savages, while Freshman Coaches Young and Kcough urged thorn on. The youngsters didn't score a touchdown on this march, but they would have made a score had not Welch been tripped ns he started with a clear field on an end run from a delayed pass. As It was they had to be satis fied with a safety. As a result of this Initinl clash with the varsity It must be said that there is a great deal of powor. developed and undeveloped, in this freshman team. Tho back-field, made up yesterday of Bell, a son of Penn3lvanla's Attorney General, at quartet back, and with Newberry, Welch nnd Rofo the other backs, Is stringer than the line and right now looks like- nn cen match for the varsity back fleld.
