German Ambassador Quoted as Saying That France Will Be Absolutely Brushed and Reduced in
 Size.

Paris, Oct 13.-Georges Clemenceau publishes letter which he said he received from an American diplomat relating a conversation which Ambas- sador Bernstorff had with a German American banker at Newport at the end of August.

|EvERS' SINGLE
 ENDS THE SERIES
phillies Never Had Chance After Fifth Inning, Ru- adolph Being Invincible.
 Shawkey Hu1ls, But
 Not Good Enough.
(By Frank G. Menke)

Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-"Trojar 1chnny" Evers smashed out single l in tae fifth inning Of this afternoon baseball game and the impossible hapnened Two Boston runners crossed the plate, cinching the game for the Boston Braves, giving them Iheir fourth straight victory over the Philadalphia Athletics and the base tall championship of the world. Four straight victories for the Braves over the once peerless and still wonderful Mackmen. What a marvellous achievement.
 Not one fan in every million in this land, great as he may have thought the Braves, predicted such a thing as has come to pass, the doiling out by the Braves to the Athletics of four successive beatings.
 The Braves won today and they won the other three games, not through luck, not because they got the breaks of the game but because they out played the Athletics in every depart ment. They out-batted the slugglng Phiadelphians, they out-fielded them, they out-pitched them, they out-caught |them and out-ran them. And by their Remarkable showing in this series they deserve to rank ahead of the
 Athletics-They deserve to be placed on the pinnacle of the baseball world so that all should pay them honors. There was nothing undeserved, nothing lucky about the Braves vic tory today. They won because they deserved to win--because they smash
 ed the Athletics defense at critical
 moments and because their own de-
 fense was Gibraltef.
 Mackmcn. Begin We'll.
 The Athletes, grim and determined 'and desperate, stated off today Ill a way that made many think their o!d
 batting eyes had come back-that they had solved the puzzling delivery of Dick Rudolph, the midget Boston pitcher. But just at time when they began to loom up as dangerous the defense behind Rudolph frightened, with the infield executing some of the most marvellous plays ever seen on any ball field, and the Athletics were helpless in their attempt to bat ter their way to victory.
 The Braves took the lead in the fourth inning by scoring one run Evers walked and went to second on Connelly's out. Whitted singled, send- ing Evers to third and "Tro]an Johnny" scored on Schmidts out.
 Athletics Tie Score.
 ! The Athletics tied things up in their half of the fifth on Barry,s single and Shang's out, which ad- vanced him to second, and on Shaw keys double, when Barry raced home.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 13.-Critlsim or it makes it hard for state and say ings banks and trust companies to meet it's requirements featured to- days session of the convention of the American Bankers association al the Jefferson hotel.
 E. Parker Willis of New York, whc drafted the federal reserve bill, ad' dresses the members of the trust companies division and pointed out that the provisions of the new sys' tenn would prevent any bank enter ing. but he added that it was not de- sirable that any bank should enter the system unless il is doing or ln- tends to do commercial business.

Parts. Oct. 13-Thc Germans have oaptured Lille, about which there has been serious fighting for the past two weeks. This was admitted in the or iicial communication from the war office today.
 Rove also has been occupied by the Germans, whose counter llank'ne movement against the allies left wing is reported to be gaining i'll strength until it threatens to sweep swiftly toward0 the coast.
 This German advantage is counter acted by the marked progress record- ed for the allies in the region between Arras and Albert, to the southwcst of Lille.
 Lille was entered yesterday by detachment of territorials. and the German force is reported to have numbered 10000 They are the troops that have been active in the vicinity of Lille for some days.
 The French war office reports ap- preclable progress at several points along the front. On the left, the French have resumed the offensive in the region of Hazebrouck and Be- thune aga.nst the cavalry and in fantry moving from the German line extending from Bailleuf to LeBase, through Estaries.
 Allies Regain Lost Ground. Unusually severe fighting mas marked the engagements along the l front of the left wing of the allies who after having been forced Ito give ground toward the end of the last | week have now reoccupied their lost 1 positions and are declared to be more strongly entrenched than ever.
 An important development of the day was the appreciable progress made by the French on the center in the region of Berry-auBac. Slight l advantage also was gained in the direction of Soissons, east Of the Argonnes. 1 On the right bank of the Mouse. the French holding the heights east of Verdun have been able to advance to ] position south of the road from l Verdun to Metz thus seriously threat ening the German line of communica- ton in this direction.
 German aerial raiders again flew over Paris today in a fog, but before they could drop any bombs several French machines which had been on the lookout gave chase and routed the invaders. :

BELGIANS AGAIN
 MOVE GOVERNMENT T
ll:Nrc. France. Is Latest "CapitaI" 0i Belgium Allies Throw Out Strong Force in Attempt tO
 Save OStcnd.

London, Oct 12.-The Germans in enormous strength are marching on Ostend, and cavalry patrols of the enemy, screening the rapid advance of the main bodies. already have been reported in the vicinity of Eccloo l miles north of Ghen. German cav airy also has been reported i'll the region about Bru9es, which is declar- ed to be suffering from the severe shell fire of German siege guns. Brugcs is only 23 miles from Ostend.
 Dispatches from Ostend hold out little hope of the retention of the city by the Belgian and British forces, and the transfer today of the Belgian gov seem to indicate that the city is not preparing for an energetic resistance.
 Government Moves Again.
 The official statement from Bor- deaux regarding the removal of the Belgian government says that it is done to give full liberty of action tc the Belgian ministers, but activities in every branch of the government still represented in Ostend after the removal of the several departments tt Havre indicate there is no serious in tenton of subjecting Ostend to Ger man bombardment by resisting.
 The Germans have been moving rapidly westward from Antwerp ant strong German attachments are re- ported to have passed through Bail leul in the department du Nord, 1T France, in the direction of Ypres, 2 miles south of Ostend, where the Ger mans have concentrated in large nun bers and the two columns are believ ed to be converging on Ostend
 PrussianS Near Dunkirk.
 German cavalry has been seen 2 miles from Dunkirk and 40 mile northwest of Lille, evidently screen ing force which has moved north cast from the latter city, which thu invaders have occupied. This arm obviously constitutes the force whiCl the German commanders are throw ing out toward the sea to prevent th retirement of the Ostend garrison westward to join with the allies lief in France. The allies have sent
 strong force of troops to prevent tn German raid on the seacodst, and, ev en if this army is unable to reac Ostend in time to prevent the German occupation, it. will be a large facto in checking the sweep of the invad CTS westward toward Dunkirk an Calais.
 Dispatches from Calais today state that the kaiser's troops were makin great preparations for a battle i Belgium. Increasing activity by tn ~ lot, I l1. otNd French coast has been noted, and all other large force of Germans is rt ported to have left Lille in the diret tion of Croutcher, in Belgium, occ, pied by the kaiser's troops.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Southern senators who will make the fight to relieve the cotton situation today completed the draft of the remedial measure which they propose to try to attach to the war tax bill. The fea- lures 6. the bill which will be offered as an amendment to the war tax bill were agreed upon last night at a con- ference al Senator Hoke Smiths resi- dence.
 The amendment as completed pro- vides that the government shall issue $250 ,0O,000 of per cent bonds, to run three eyars. in denominations of $10, S20, $50 and $100, with which it shall buy ) million bales of cotton at ;t price not to exceed 10 cents per pound.
 The bonds are not to be sold but will be exchanged directly with the farmer for his cotton, and he then can negotiate them at his bank.
 The cotton is to be held in storage and not sold until 1916 or 1917.
 If the revenue from the sale is not sufficient to retire the bonds. pay the interest and pay also for the care of the cotton, the government shall levy a tax of from half to 1 per cent per pound on the cotton crops of 1916, 1917 and 1918.
 Senator Hoke Smith, who, with Senator Clarke of Arkansas, drew the amendment, said today that he has reason to think the senate will accept it because number of Republicans have signifed their intention of sup porting it.
