Indeed, in CHASING w. and ]. in the

are establishing plans to run in the
neighborhood of three years at least.

Early in the year John McGraw in
formed the manipulation of these dis
patches that he expected 1914 to he the
toughest season he had ever grappled
with. And this was att a time when all
opposition was supposed to be wrecked
and the Giants were picked to scamper
home without a struggle in a runaway
race. McGraw then was not figuring on
the strength CT weakness of the other
clubs. He was bothering about his own
clan. for he had been in the game long
enough to know that 1t was about due
TO glide into the soapy chutes and lose
big percentage of its old-time efrec-
tiveness.
Dream of Four Straight.
McGraw's most radiant dream Is the
dream Of four straight conquests. He
had set his soul against this endeavor.
And at that 1t was something to ponder
on achieving a record destiny with an
average ball club where Chance and
Mack. his greatest rivals. had failed
with wonderful machines. No one could
compare the Giants at any stage with
The Washington times., 1914-08-21

the Cubs of 1906 and 1907 or the Mack
men from 1910 to 1914. The material was
never there. No wonder his heart was
set upon such a goal-a goal that no
club in forty years had ever reached.
On the last Western trip with the
Giants 1t was easy enough To see that
McGraw was under a heavy strain. He
took defeat harder than we had ever
seen him take 1t before. Always more
than anxious to win, this time he was
doubly SO.
When Pirates, Reds and Cubs in turn
had challenged his lead and had been
turned back. he was able for one brief
breathing spell to gain a respite from
his worry. But the respite was brief.
For the Brave uprising proved at last
that the most dangerous challenger Of
them all had risen and that his people
again were in the thick of battle for
their flag existence. And he realized
some time ago that this meant battle
to the finish-a rough and tumble scrap
all through the dusty sweep of the pen
nant stretch.
Winning four successive pennants In a
row would be a great record for Nc
Graw to add to his other achievements.

Mary's mother-in-law had come for her first visit to the farm It was So far from the old home that there had been no going back and forth during the past four years but now Mrs Durant had felt that she could wait no longer to see her son and s-year-old grandson.
 Of course she was happy to see her son. Robert, and whatever he did CT said seemed without fault to her.

It was in regard to bringing up children The oppor- tunity soon presented itself.

A POSSIBLE EMBARRASSING FAC.
 TOR,

VIII the socialists strike against war? This is an important question today and it is worrying no one more than the leading governments now engaged in war
 IL is estimated that there are 12.- so0,0o socialists who have under con- sideration this question of citizens be- iHb subject to the whims and passions of royalty and being forced to sIay their fellowmen and be slain without those in authority even saying: By your pefmission."
 Russia, Germany, France and Eng land are all on the anxious seat real izing that there may at any moment be widespread. action and protest against the conduct of the war by these men.
 In Wales the miners threaten to tie up the mines so that Great Britain would be unable to enter into the war lacking coal for it's vessels.
 Whether these threats are sincere whether the socialists have reached q condition where they can unitediy take such a stand in the interest of humanity regardless of personal pre- judices or interests remains to be seen.
 Socialism today is a possible menace to the schemes of kings and should the Socialists make a united stand for the abolishment of unnecessary wars, they would constitute the grandest force for peace the world has ever known.

REPEAL THE REGISTRY LAW,

The conditions of war abroad makes 1t necessary that immediate steps should be taken to make continuous and safe American trade with foreign nations.
 Most of the merchant marine today represent foreign countries and the commercial freighters on the high seas become lawful prey unger the law of nations to the warships of enemies of their country.
 As our laws now stand. United States registry is denied vessels that me built abroad; such cannot fly alir flag or claim the privileges and pro- teetion of our authority. But iE the conditions which we face today mod ifieati0n of the law is necessary for the safe continuance of trade
 President Wilson should declare our neutrality and congress should move af 0nee to take such action as will be needed tp protect the ships on the high seas in the service of the United States.
