WET WEATHER GAME
. LOST BY ROURKES
Park Holds Hutchinson Hitless
Until Eighth, Bat Game Is .
Dropped in Ninth
Frame.
Hutchinson. Kan., Aug. 5. (Special
Telegram.) Park held the Salt Pack
ers hitless until the eighth inning and
struck out seven, only to lose a battle
played in the rain in the ninth, when
two hits and a walk gave Hutchinson
the game, 2 to 1.
Babe Adams M as hit hard, but kept
the blows scattered and pulled out of
several holse, striking out eight.
Omaha got one in the first, which
looked good enough for a win, due to
rain, which fell continuously fox five
innings. The shower was over then,
but the last four frames were played
on a slippery field.
A big crowd braved the storm, as
it was Guard mobilization day and a
circus was in town for Monday.
First up, Cooney hit, Krug sacri
ficed and Miller singled. Shaw ground
ed to third, Cooney being caught at
the plate. Yardley singled to center
and Miller was safe at the plate when
O'Brien dropped a long peg.
Hutchinson scored in the eighth
when Williams walked, Henry doubled
to center and Falk singled, sending
both home.
Rourke's men kicked on Wilkin
son's umpiring. With bases full in
the fifth, Shaw was called out on a
- low third strike. Rourke says he will
make a protest to President Dicker
son on his work.
Lincoln Fails to Hit and
Loses Two to Wichita
Wichita, Aug. 5. Superior pitching;
by Koestner and Baker gave Lincoln
little chance, today. Koestner had a
bad first inning after which he was
invincible, while one run off Baker
was the result of two "mud hits"
which would have been easy outs on
a dry field'. Thomason's catch of a
low liner off Goodwin's bat in the
first game featured. Score, first game :

German Labor Not
In Line With Other
Workers of World
-
New York, Aug. 5. Samuel Gom
pers, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, issued a statement
yesterday amplifying his reasona for
opposition to the proposed interna
tional socialist conference at Stock
holm. "The working people of the United
States," he said, "are now doing
everything within their power to help
their country in its war against im
perialism and autocracy. The work
ing people of England and France are
doing the same for their own coun
tries. "The working people of Germany
are doing all they possibly can to
help Germany and its kaiser win.
If Germany does not win as it will
not win, it will be due to no fault of
the German working people.
"It is therefore in my judgment im

Courland ' front, thanked them for
holding their own against superior
Russian forces which made possible

Says Special Ruling
Needed to Place Son
In War Against Sire
Hebron, Neb., July 5. (Special.)
August Abelbeck of Byron, Neb., the
first man drafted from Thayer county,
is an alien whose father, August Abel
beck, sr., is now fighting with the
German army in France.
That August Abelbeck cannot be
deafted into army service except by
special government ruling is the opin
ion of the deputy county clerk.
Abelbeck, who holds serial No. 258,
was in Hebron this week for examina
tion. He came to the United States
four years ago, but has never taken
out naturalization papers. He has
been employed near Byron on the
farm of his uncle, D. H. Abelbeck.
Fisherman Would Present
Bill to Kaiser William
(Correapflndence of The Associated Pre.)
Base American Flotillas in British
Waters, July 25. There is at least
one person in this port who is pray
ing for the end of the war. He is a
poor fisherman who has a bill to pre
sent to the German emperor for a
basketful of fish and eggs for which
he says a German submarine crew
forgot to pay.
One peaceful afternoon in the early
days of the war while alone in his
boat within rifle shot of the harbor
a submarine emerged alongside. Be
fore the man had time to fall over
board from fright an officer stuck his
head outof the conning tower and in
perfect English asked if he could
have some fish.
"Sure," said the excited fisherman
as he turned over a basketful.
"Can you get us some eggs?" asked
the German.
"Sure," said the man, who prompt
ly pulled for shore, disappeared into
his hut for an instant and reappeared
with several dozen eggs, which he
brought out to the hungry submarine
crew now lined tip on the deck of the
waiting submersible.
Then instead of proferring pay
ment, the crew said thanks in their
native tongue, laughingly announced
they were Germans and made off.
"I thought they were English un
til then," said the fisherman, whose
story is the pet yarn of this place.

WORLD PEACE TO BE
OUTCOME OF WAR
Christians Must See to It That
the Present War Terminates
With Peace That Is
Righteous.
Rev. Larimore C. Denise of Pitis-
burh, a former 'Omaha boy and now
a Presbyterian minister, spoke to the
congregation of the First ' Presby-,
terian church, Thirty-fifth and Far
nam, Sunday on "After the War,
Whatr
"We must look forward to a day of
reconstruction, when guns will be
silent, when the boys come march
ing home and the commercial inter
ests of the country are again renewed.
The outcome of this war depends
upon Christianity. Will we allow a
peace that will be unrighteous? We
must see that this war terminates in
a long and everlasting peace; Chris
tians must settle it. '
"When we entered this war we
thought we were fighting for democ
racy; before we are through, we will
find that we are fighting a world war
for peace. We must win. - We must
punish the nation that shakes its fist
in the face of humanity and morality.
Christianity Has Not Failed.
"People think that Christianity has
failed because it has not appeased
this war. Since the time of Con
stantine, Christianity and the sword
have united. The fact that people
are blaming the war onChristianity
is sufficient proof that Christianity
and the sword are incompatible. As
Christians we must fight this war
through for democracy and keep the
cross of Christ for our flag. Chris
tianity, the police force of mankind,
must establish the world kingdom of
God; it must use its influence upon
the governments of mankind to
arbitrate for a long and everlasting
peace; that this war may terminate
in happiness and joy, not a curse."
Dr. Denise is assistant superin
tendent of the National Reform as
sociation with headquarters in Pitts
burgh. At the present time he is
touring the country in the interest of
the association and obtaining dele
gates to the Third .World's Christian
Citizenship conference which will be
held at Pittsburgh, July 2-9, 1918.

small station and said to a boy:
" 'Here, boy, take this dime and get me
a sandwich, will youT And, by the way.
here's another dime, Get a sandwich for ,
yourself, too.'
"'Thanks, boss' and the boy darted
away.. He returned, munching a big. tine
sandwich just as the train was starting off
He ran to the traveler, banded him a dime
and said: .
" 'Here's yer dime back, boss. They only
had on sandwich left.' " Washington Stsr.
