New York, Oct. 11. The Boston
Americans drew one notch nearer to
the world's championship here this
afternoon when they defeated the
Brooklyn Nationals, 6 to 2, in favor
of Boston. Tomorrow the conflict
will be renewed at Braves field, Bos
ton. Columbus day, tomorrow, is a
legal holiday in Boston and Massa
chusetts and the indications point to
an enormous attendance.
With today's contest the players
ceased to participate in the financial
returns.
The manner in which Boston tore
into the Brooklyn team here this af
ternoon left no doubt as to their in
tention of ending the series as quickly
as possible. Pitcher Leonard gave
the Nationals a two-run lead in the
opening inning, but his team-mates
more than made up the handicap in
the second session and, once in the
van, refused to permit Brooklyn to
creep u p to them.
Big Margin In Victory.
Today was the first time since the
initial game against the Philadelphia
Nationals in the series of 1915 that
Boston has won from its rivals by
a margin of more than one run.
The contest, although featured by
several sensational plays, did not rise
much above the average of a regular
session contest. Once Leonard
swung into form, the Brooklyn bat
ters found it impossible to score.
. long, -slashing bits, ripped off . the
bats, of the Boston's, id be'eharged
, against the account of Brooklyn's
' pitchers, while splendid catches, stops
2nd throws made the, way easy for
Leonard. ,
The Brooklyn club gave its sup
porters great hopes of repeating the
victory of Tuesday when two runs
were put over in the first inning on
Johnson's triple, Myers' single, a
base on balls and an error by Jan
vrin, who, in his eagerness to get
Myers at the plate, fumbled Cut
shaw's grounder.
.V ' Gardner Starts Rush.
- Rube Marquard, Manager Robin
son's selection for a second try
against the Boston batters, held Bos
ton in the initial inning, but Gardner
took much of the mystery out of his
delivery; when he hammered out a
home run, his second in two days,
with two on bases, in the next in
ning. Marquard walked Hoblitzell,
the first man up, and Lewis advanced
him to third with a double to the
right field fence. Gardner then
cleaned up with his homer, a drive
to deep center.
Boston added another tally in the
fourth, when Lewis singled, went to

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 11. (Special

The grand lodge went on record to

National Live
Stock Exchange
Makes Rate Protest
Washington, Oct. 11. The Na
tional 'Live Stock exchange com
plained to the Interstate Commerce
commission today that the rates
charged by the eighty-six principal
railroads on stock, teeder cattle, sheep
and hogs, were unjust and unreason
able, and should in no case exceed S
per cent of the rates charged on tat
'.ened stock intended for slaughter.
The exchaagea sked the commission
to establish new rates from the mar
kets at Chicago, New Vork, East St.

Nebraska Man Direct from Battle
Front Tells of the Great World War
Dr. Phil M. Dale, for Fourteen
Months in the Hospitals of
France, Gives Views
and Experiences.
SATS BREMEN WAS CAUGHT
"It is now only a matter of killing
Germans and reducing the number in
the field," this is the way the British
and French officers view the great
war in Europe at present, according
to Dr. Phil M. Dale of Chicago, for
merly of Greenwood, Neb., who was
in Omaha yesterday fresh from four
teen months of hard work in the
British surgical service in France.
Dr. Dale was on his way to Green
wood to visit his mother and the rest
of the family before returning to Chi
cago to resume his regular practice
there. He went to France with a
large unit of surgeons and nurses,
which Dr. Murphy of Chicago organ
ized and placed at the disposal ofthe
British in France.
"The allies do not consider the
present gains on the western front
of great importance in themselves,"
says Dr. Dale, "but they figure it
is the start of a great movement that
will gain momentum as it proceeds.
"The allies have plenty of men in
the field now and they figure that if
it be necessary they can give man
for man in the matter of losses and
yet beat the Germans easily in time."
The doctor tells an incident of con
versation between a British officer
and a wounded Prussian officer.
"Well, how is the war coming out?"
asked the Briton of the Prussian ofJ
ficer, who spoke perfect English.
"Oh, well, I don't know yet," an
swered the Prussian.
"Ah, come out of it," said the Eng-

RIDICULES DEMOS' LOGIC
Baltimore, Oct. 11. Charles E.
Hughes, speaking in the great armory
here where Woodrow Wilson first
was nominated for the presidency last
night assailed Mr. Wilson's policy to
ward the promotion of American
trade abroad, and replied to published
statements of Pr. Charles W- Eliot,
president emeritus of .Harvard, en
ddrsingT' the' president's 'policy.'' ' '"
"Dr. Eliot pierces the heart of the
matter," Mr. Hughes said, "and he
finds that the record of the admin,
istratiorrmeans this: No intervention
by force ot arms to protect on for
eign soil American commercial and
manufacturing adventurers who
through their own free will have in
vested their money and risked their
lives in foreign parts under alien jur
isdiction." The Import of It
"Think of the import of that, you
who represent the best genius of the
world and are thinking of using it
abroad," Mr. Hughes added. "Think
of that, you who it is suggested are
to be asked to finance the chief un
dertakings of the world. Think of
that, merchants, salesmen, tellers,
clerks and dealers, who in 'serving
the world' take your place remote
from your friends and safeguards in
communities where revolutions are
frequent, and the only respect for
your flag and the power it symbolizes
may stand between you and ruin, and
even death."
Mr. Hughes said he had heard it
said recently that there was only one
alternative to peace, and that was
war.
"I studied logic once upon a time,"
he said, "and it had much to say about
those who used reason of that de
scription. What He Would Do.
"I have been asked what I would
do with respect to Mexico if I am
elected president. Now. no "man on
earth can tell what sort of mess we
will find in Mexico next March. But
I will say this: There are certain
principles that we can lay down to
which we propose to adhere. They
are important not only with respect
to Mexico, but to Latin America, to
all nations.
"If entrusted with executive re
sponsibility, I propose to adhere to
them.
"The first principle is that we will
not meddle with things that do not
concern us.
"The second is that we will not
merely talk about the rights of small
states, but we will observe them.
"The third is that it shall be un
derstood that at all events the lives
and property of American citizens
will be protected throughout the
world.'' .... ...
"Dollar diplomacy, Mr. Hughes
said, "f hich encouraged the develop
mmt nf American interests abroad,
was dubbed something shockingly
reprehensible."

NEW HEADS ARE CHOSEN
St. Louis, Oct" 11. The Rev. Dr.
Alexander Mann of Boston, Mass.,
was re-elected president of the house
deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
general convention here today. He
was opposed by the Re:. James E.
Freeman of Minneapolis. The conven
tion met in triennial csession today.
Dr. Mann was first elected president
of the house of deputies at the-con-'
vention in New YJrk in 1913.- Dr.
James McNaughton, director of Bi
tynia High school, Constantinople,
spoke at a mass meeting tonight. He
described the conditions of Armenian
Christians in Turkey as comprising
the darkest page in Christian history
"It should be noted that the figures
do not constitute an estimate by the
British authorities. They merely rep
resent the casualties announced in the
German official lists.. Also that the
casualties are those reported during
the month of September and not re
ported as having been incurred in
September."
and said that more than a million na
tive Christians in Asia Minor were
facing death from starvation and ex
posure. Dr. McNaughton made an appeal
for the observance of October 21 and
22, as Armenian and Assyrian relief
days, pointing out that President Wil

asking the people of the United States
to set aside this day.

Equipment on Hand
Washington, Oct. 11. Regulations
made public today by the War de
partment detail what equipment mili
tary organizations must snow at the
inspection to be held in January, Feb
ruary and March in order to share in
federal appropriations for the main
tenance of the state troops.
By the terms of the army reorgani
zation act, any National Guard unit
which does not have a full quota of
ordnance and quartermaster's equip
men will be debarred wholly or in
part "from receiving from the United
States, any pecuniary or other aid,
benefit or privilege." The circular
issued today stipulates that the equip
ment must include emergency rations
and supplies for each man, to be kept
constantly on hand for use in the
event of mobilization, besides the
usual Dersonal equipment and com-
! plete outfit kits, signalling apparatus,
I intrenching tools and medical sup
plies. The department points out tnat
the duty of exhibiting this property
to the federal inspectors, properly
stored and marked, will rest upon the
state authorities.

AFRICAN WORRY STOPPED
London, Oct. 11. "This is no time
for faltering counsel or wavering
purpose," said Premier Asquith in
addressing the House of Commons
today. "This war cannot be allowed
to end in some patched-up, precar
ious and dishonoring comprimise
masquerading under the name of
peace.
"No one desires to prolong for a
single moment longer than is ne
cessary the tragic spectacle of bloodshed-
and destruction, but we owe- it
to those who have given their lives,
that their supreme sacrifices shall not
have been unavailing.
"The ends of the allies are well
known. They have been frequently
statfd. They are not selffish, they
are not vindicative, but they require
adequate reparation for the past, and
adequate security for the future."
The house cheered the premier
loudly as he made these- remarks
in concluding his address, after mov
ing a vote of credit for 300,000,
000. This condition will bring up
the total for the current fiscal year,
1, 350,000,000.
Money Left From Last Year.
Parlimcnt, the premier said, asked
to vote for war purposes what was
equivalent to the aggregate expendi
ture tor twenty years betore the war.
although that period included the
South African war. When he moved
thel ast vote -of credit in July, he
estimated the average rate of expendi
ture at approximately 5,000,000
daily. . That forecast has proved al
most exactly correct. At the com
mencement of the present week, the
premier continued; there was still in
hand 100,500,000, which would carry
until October 27. He gave the aggre
gate expenditure on m cays ot the
financial year as follows: Army,
navy and munitions, 379,000,000,
loans to allies and dominions. 157.-
000,000: food supplies, railways, etc.,
,w,ow,wv JJje.;jrtaUs; --average' -of
expenditures has" risen slightly, he
said, and was 5,070,000 for the last
seventy-seven days of the financial
years. Expenditures for the army
had fallen off slightly, while those
tor munitions had increased some
what' Loans to Great Britian's allies
and dominions were exceeding the
budget estimate rate.' They would
not be safe in assuming that expendi
tures in the future would be less than
5,000,000 daily.
Of Greatest Importance.
Reverting to the possibility of
loans to allies and dominions exceed
ing the budget estimate of 450,000,
000, Mr. Asquith said no part of the
war expenditure was more import
ant than this. Great Britain had no
selfish interest in this matter, and al
though the expenditure was growing
beyond the estimate, he did not re
gret it.
Surveying the progress of the war
since the last vote of credit, the pre
mier said hot weather had hampered
operations in the secondary theaters,
but that in Mesopotamia substantial
progress had been made with rail and

England to Issue
More War Bonds
London, Oct. 11. The House of
Commons today began consideration
of the problems resulting from the
war, with the introduction by Premier
Asquith of a new-vote of credit for
300,000,000. Under the procedure of
parliament, this step permits mem
bers to discuss any subject.
The vote of credit is the thirteenth
since the outbreak of the war, bring
ing up the total to 3,132,000,000. As
today's credit vote is expected to last
only until the end of the present
year, another request will be neces
sary before March, but in view of the
statement made yesterday by the
chancellor of the exchequer, Reginald
McKenna, there probably will be no
fresh public borrowing in the shape
of a long term war loan at present,
as the country's needs are being met
by revenue from taxes and by short
dated notes. The latest 6 per cent
exchequer bonds yielded more than
20,000,000 last week. Financial cir
cles, and particularly holders of
per cent war loan and other lower
priced issues, which recently have
fallen to a discount, are hoping the
premier will make some statement re
garding the possibilities of conversion
of their holdings into a new loan
when such an issue is considered.
Germany Gets in Line
For New War Loan
Berlin, Oct. 11. A bill for a new
war credit of 12,000,000.000 marks will
shortly be submitted to the Reich
stag. The bill has only precaution
ary character, but is deemed neces
sary, because the margin between the
credit granted to June, 1916, totaling
52,000,000,000 marks and the 47,000,
000,000 marks raised through the five
war loans has become rather small.
The new war loan is not expected
to be floated before spring next year,
as the government hones to set alonn
until then with the funds on hand and
the help of short-term treasury notes.

morning, with disastrous results. Al
most every building in the city was
damaged, and some were destroyed.
There are many homeless persons and

damage thus far reported runs into
the hundreds ot thousands ot dollars.
So far as is known there was no loss
of life.
The storm began Monday night, and
after an interval of calm, it began
again with increased fury. Trees were
uprooted and much damage was done
to shipping. 1 he Hamburg-American

Belgrade, Oct. 10. (Via London,
Oct 11.) The food supply of the
American Red Cross Relief commis
sion will be exhausted bv the end of
November, and the commission's re
lief work in Serbia will then cease, ac
cording to Dr. Edward Stuart, direc
tor of the commission. Roumania's
entrance into the war, making it im
possible to get food, and lack of sup
port on the part of the people of the
United States, are given by Dr. Stuart
as the responsible causes.
So far 3,180 tons of food have been
distributed about Belgrade, in addition
to carloads of clothii.g. The number
of persons dependent on the commis
sion is 36,000. The Austrian govern
ment has arranged to supply free food
to 10,000 people after the commission
ceases its work and will give pensions
to another 10,000. This will leave 16,
000 unprovided for.
Dr. Stuart said the Red Cross had
been able to tide the Serbians over
the bad time while crops were grow
ing, and that food was rather plentiful
in Serbia now, although clothing was
sfilt much needed.
The commission will return to the
United States early in December.

SIFTS DEMOCRATIO POLICY
Clarksburg, W. Va, Oct 1L--Charles
E. Hughes told an audience
which gathered at the station here
today that in his stand for the pro
tection of American lives, property
and commerce he had no agreement
with anybody.
"I stand for American right
throughout the world, without feat or
favor, Mr. Hughes said. "I have no
understanding, no agreements, no in
trigues with anybody, but I stand for
the interests of the United States and
ths protection of American lives,
American property and American
commerce throughout the world.
"Our friends on the other side talk
about their policy, particularly in
Mexico, as though it were a policy
of peace," Mr. Hughes continued. "It
has not been a policy of peace. It
has been policy of destruction of
the lives and property of American
citizens because of the withdrawal of
protection that should have been ac
corded." For Protecting Tariff.
Mr. Hughes spoke for protective
tariff, asserting that in its applica
tion he would not "aid any particular
sort of American citizens at the ex
pense of the others."
The nominee assailed the adminis
tration again for the enactment of the
Adamson law.
"I am not opposed to the principle'
of an eight-hour work day," he said.
"I favor that principle. What I am
opposed to is government by holdup'
what I am opposed to is having the
government abdicate its power, offi
cial and moral, in the presence of the
demands of force instead of knowing
what is right and then doing it."
Mr, Hughes assailed the adminis
tration for extravagance, asserting
that the democratic party four years
ago had arraigned the republicans for
extravagance and then "proceeded to
break the record for extravagance." ,

agreement on some plan is reached it
is probable that it will be a composite
plan in which the good points of all
that have been suggested are incor

missioners professed belief in the
final agreement on some feasible plan
of border control, but none was will
ing to prophesy a conclusion of their
