The Chicago American league baseball machine trundled half way to victory in the world's series clash with the New York Nationals today when the White Sox de feated the Giants 7 to 2 in the second game of the titular struggle.

BASE BALL JUGGERNAUT. The White So, rolled over the Giants today like a baseball jugger nadt, leaving disaster and dismay in their wake. The second victory was far more impressive than the win of yesterday, and when the teams left the field, the Chicago club was sur charged with confidence, while the New York combination was badly- shaUercd, both physically and in rr.-rr!e. The Nat:onal league champions were o'-";jed to use four pitchers to day, and "now the While Sox have srn.

In field strategy, management and general shrewdness, the men of Roy, land hae outshone the New York players, led by McG-aw and it will require a remarkable recovery on the part of the eastern team to check the Chicago clan in its ii .petuous rush for the world's oase ball champion- sh,P- . . i. Some of the Giants believe such a feat is possible once the team appears on its home grounds, before thousands of fans who will encourage the Giants to their highest efforts. If they can overtomt the Sox lead, it will be a remarkable exhibition of gamcness and determination. Giants Had Some Rooters.

"The Kingdom and True National ism," was the theme from which the bishop drew inspiring utterances.

Ours L a na tionalism that gives all for the up building of ,he world and for that hind of nationalism you and 1 should feel proud that we live under this flag.

We should be willing to make any sacrifice to support this great na tionalism of ours," said the bishop. All in Common Cause. Continuing: "Never before in the history of the world have so many high-type nations been allied in a common cause.

VON STEIN URGES GERWO!DIEliS BE ENUEHTENED Minister of War, in Speech Be fore Reichstag Admits Igno rance of Troops as to War Purposes. (By Asftociutrd Tress.) Amsterdam, Oct. 7. -Minister of War von Stein today in a speech be fore the Reichstag, said that the men in the armies must be enlightened concerning the real causes of the war. Minister von Stein declared that the army command did not" permit polit ical agitation within the army. This caused a stir and cries of "Oh, oh!" from the left. Thereupon the president pointed out the impossibility of fur ther debate under such conditions and begged the deputies to resume their seats. Minister von Stein, in continuing, said: "The explanations given in the army are cf quite different tendencies and purport. In view of the enemy's lies, which are circulated all around the world, it is clear that our soldiers must be enlightened concerning the real causes of the war and the enemy's intentions and the conse quences if we lost. Tclitics Taboo. "The ari.iy hungers for intellectual nutriment and therefore the army command has issued general instruc tions regr ding lectures, plays, cine mas, pamphlets and army newspapers. There is no word of politics in this." The war minister then charged that enemy agents were endeavoring to in duce dissension and vacillation among the German people, therefore prin ciples had been laid down for 'he army in the field and the army at home. He declared that the enemy, too. has his arr.:y propaganda to up hold to instiil the spirit of victory in their ranks. "We ai-.i also at maintaining the spirit of our army at the level w:th which it entered the campaign," he asserted. Padercwshi Starts to Recruit Polish Army Wach'niton, Ovt. 7.

The army authorities next intro duced the term "whirlwind fire" to describe a greater degree of intensity, and now havegone to the West Indian tempests for a simile in describing the awful misht of Wednesday's and Thursday's storm of fire. EACH FOR HIMSELF. The reason the Germans arc slov in launching the counter-attacks calrd for by Field Marshal von Ilin denburg's methods in an cflort to re gain the importan heights lost in the Ypres sector on Thursday may be found in a description by Lieutenant General von Ardcnne, military ex pert of the Tageblatt of Berlin of the curtain of fire through which the German storming troops had to pass in the battle of September 26.

The men as they came out of the conference room were still in a hopeful frame of mind, it appeared, however, although the government spokesmen would not describe the situation as one to be viewed with optimism. Shaggy Peasants Take Part. The conference was held in the winter palace with Premier Kerensky Play Secondary Role Hig gun actions are in proves along the Flanders front with indirn tions that the Germans as usual in this form of combat are playing the secondary role. Field Marshal Hais's report on FrU , day night's activities mentions only the increased fire from the German artillery. Prtss reports, however, show that the Germans are sufferinsc heavilv from the effects of the British artillery fire.

The. transition in America from conditions of peace to those of war, from the standpoint of rapidity and thoroughness, is without precedent in the history of democracies, says a statement issued tonight by the committee on "public information detailing the nation's achievement since the declaration of war six months ago. "American industry and people of the entire nation." the statement says, "answered speedily and efficiently the call to arms.

North Omaha Residents See Big War Balloon Evaporate in Air Dwclh-rs in the northeastern part o( the city tell of strange sights airJ sounds, the Mr-ngcst of al! taking place in the air . hove Fo.t Omaha one morning last week. People ill that vicinity arc wondering if the days of niayic are past, after all. '1 hey are still rubbing their eyes and asking each other to verify the remarkable sight witnessed that morning. What wot Id yo say it, wnilo you w;re .atchin a big balloon several thousand feet above the ground, it should sud lenly disappear! Should in s ntly evaporate into the air, seein iigly! With never a trace to tell where it had b.vn ! That is exactly what happened at Fort Omaha early one morning last week! A young man climbed into the basket, waved !iis hat in farewell the officers beneath and the great ro-ind bag slo.vly ose in the air. At an altitude of several thousand feet it struck a fast cmrent. realy Kale. I In an instant it wa.. wirllcd about j au1 then darted away. All this was not unusual, being' the usual events accompanying a 1 watched from below, the spectators saw a peculiar phenomenon. In a tw'nkling the Walloon disappeared from sight completely. It did ot fly r,.-. of sight, it was simply dissolved .into nothing! Officers at Fort .naha seemed un concerned and not in the least - larm ed over the haj ..euing. Hourj later the balloon was heard from in Fair fax, Mo., with its pilot, Sergeant Feinstine, unharmed. Put neither he nor any other Fort Omaha o." r will explain the strange happening. Was the experiment an attempt to "camouflage" the balloon? Did the pilot throw o ..-aves of gas around the balloon which hid it from view of those below? And if so, col '. tl.j pilot see below and take observatio: i of artillery fire as usual.? No one at Fort Omaha will tell. Everyone questioned laughs and speaks ot clouds which" the balloonist might hare entered that day and which tlvy say could conceal the bal loon. Hut ipe tators whe saw the af fair shake J eir heads. There were no clouds visible near the balloon, they insist. The balloon disappeared, ap- flight in a free balloon. Put as they 'parently, .'n a clear sky. lot of 700. One officer of the Prussian Guards, who was captured near Poly gon wood, said that British shell fire did terrible havoc among his men. German Morale Poor. The manner in which the German command conducted the defense Thursday is significant. In accord rnce with their custom they threw in various units promiscuously along the whole battle front in an attempt to stem the advan -:c, but a striking feature was the mixture of the units, the lack of cohesion between them and the; confusion arising as a con sequence. This tends to indicate lack of organization. Br tish Eager For Sammies. The British morale and organiza tion on the other hand has never been at higher pitch than at present. On every side one hears the comment: "When spring comes and the American are in the line with the allies, nothin, can hold us back." Hit Deathblow to Alleged Milk Combine in Wisconsin Racine, Wis., Oct. 7. Suit was filed yesterday under the state's new anti trust law, against 100 members of the Milk Producers' association, operat ing in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana, in which the state demands the nulli fication of milk price contracts, made in Wisconsin, by the Milk Produc ers' association, a dissolution of its branches in Wisconsin and an injunc tion to forbid members of the forty- four associations in the state from " meeting to discuss o agree on prices.
