gone back to the soil. Before the ink

Mass, and bought 422 acres OF dairy

somebody did want to dicker for the
team and that Farrell was helping the
deal along In approved style.
Seriously, Gaffney could make q
neat profit on such a deal, for the
Braves would bring big price now,
and the Gotham club should be bought
for song. And the time is about
ripe for the Yankees to make some

Refuse To Be Responsible for

Libel Suit Reply.

William NJ. Wins, of WINS, Wolff e.
Hoguet, counsel for William Barnes in
the $4,000 libel suit the Republican
state chairman has brought against
Colonel Roosevelt, refused to be re-
sponsible for making public the Colo
nePs reply, which has been served on
them. Friends of the Colonel intimat d
that the newspapers might get the an
swer from Mr.. WINS.
Mr.. WINS declared he would not be
caught in any such trap. While in the
legal form of an answer, he said, the
lO9 pages was in reality further col
lection of mendacity.
"One-third of it consists of state
mcnts of dead men," said Mr.. WINS.
another third consists of a eulogy Of
Mr.. Roosevelt by himself. The re-
mainder consists of newspaper clip
pings and the report of the Bayne Sem
ate committee that investigated con-
ditions in Albany. That report was di-
rected by Charles F. Murphy Its state
ments have never been proved. 1t is
not legal evidence, and if Colonel
Roosevelt thinks he is going to use 1t
he will have to prove it first"

tried in the newspapers" said William
II. Van Benschoten, of Bowers & Sands,
counsel for the Colonel. I'VE will not
make the answer public, but we have

U.S. BOY SCOUTS
|. PARIS MESSENGERS
American and English
Lads Do Embassy Duty
City Hears of Allies.

Paris, Sept. American and Eng
lish boys whose parents reside in Paris
have been formed into a company of
Boy Scouts. They wear uniforms and
will carry messages for the American
and British embassies and also for the
American and British ambulance or
CARNATIONS.
Several persons who reached Paris
to-day from northern towns declared
that they were much impressed by what
they saw on the way. No Germans
were seen, but the preparations of the
allies for defensive fight filled them
with confidence.
Retired French army officers, upon
whom no military obligations rest, are
volunteering in large numbers to drill
the young men of the 1914 category
who have just been called to the colors.
They do this for the reason that the
younger officers are needed for active
service. Colonies and officers of even
higher rank are acting as drill SER
geants. The young men are very keen
to qualify to go to the front, and they
are obedient and attentive to their in
structors.
German officers informed at Aurillac,
10 the south of Paris, caused disorderly
demonstrations among the populace
during the night The commandant
threatened rigorous measures in the
event of a recurrence of the disturb
ance.
