Chicago, Oct. 7. 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

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

remarkable exhibition of gamcness
and determination.

Bishop Homer Stuntz, occupying
.he pulpit of the First Methodist
church Sunday morning, was ap
plauded at the beRini.ing of his dis
course when he said: "Any man who
hangs on the flank of his go. eminent
and vvoirics it whether he be a
Brutus or a La Toilette deserves
execration."
"The Kingdom and True National
ism," was the theme from which the
bishop drew inspiring utterances.
"Our nationalism is in pursuit of
high ideals, and the spirit of our na
tionalism is manifested when we send
our sons to the camps and when we
buy Liberty bonds. 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. Our rationalism stands for lib
erty and righteousness for all the
race. Let us remember that every
Foldier in the ranks today is fighting
for something deaier than his life.
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. They are united to
suppress the only remaining tyranni
cal government and the result will he
a triumph of true nationalism which
will be followed by a federation of
nations, a clearing house of righteous
ness and human rignts.
"If we can help our president, our
soldiers and our diplomats to keep
our nationalism clean, then indeed we
will have played a part in overthrow
ing tyranny and establishing righte
ousness in the world.

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.

U.S. Transition From Peace to War
Unique in History of Democracy
(By Associated Press.) ,
Washington, Oct. 7. 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. Six months from the
day war was declared finds the United States mobilized for the supreme
task ahead."
Congress, the committee's record save, has enacted more important
legislation during the . extraordinary session ending today, than in any
preceding session in history.
Kt.eiri.-.g 10 the VVr department the committee notes that without
accident or disaster a large expeditionary force has been sent to France.
More than 1,0(10,000 drafted men and National Guardsmen are under train

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

All this was not unusual, being'
the usual events accompanying a 1

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

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

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."
