Charles p. Taft, brother of for
mer President Taft, has saved the
National league in it's most dan
gerous crisis in many years by
purchasing the interest of Charles
w. Murphy in the Cubs of Chica-
go. Thus Murphy, to whom most
of the National league club owners
and many in the American league
objected on the ground that he
was a disturber in organized base
ball, was quickly eliminated.
MT. Taft already owned a large
share Of the Cubs, having staked
Murphy to buy the club many
years ago. Murphy himself has
said his own share was SO per
cent and that Mr.. Taft paid him
on a basis of a value of more than
81, 900, 900 for all the stock.

GERMAN ARTILLERY
DEMORALIZES ENEMY

Berlin. Germany, Oct. 1O.-"Artillery
is trump IN this war" says a wounded
German officer interviewed BY the
TaEeblart- He continues:
Our German shells are wonders In
addition 10 their destructive effect, the
moral effect Of their detonauon is
plainly TO be observed The enemy IS
not a little affected by the dull un-
canny noise. The showing Of our field
hOWirZers is a complete success Iney
are actually equal to the heaviest field
pieces Of the French, the Ema1lhO (l5-5
centimenter) hOwitZers- The French
shells are effective prO1ect1lesr except
that they do not always explode
In our advances We have had oppor-
tunity TO observe on the French dead
and wounded the effect Of our shells
and il was very great In the beginning
Of the war, the persuasive point OF our
projectiles is said TO have lain too high,
and IL is interesting to note that We
first learned this from letters captured
from the French
1T must be said that the French
canuOueers shoot well They keep a
sharp watch, open fire as soon as they
see dust rising, even at great distances
where they can reckon only on moral
effect They must also have excellent
information at their disposal Their
ammunition supply is well looked
after
our heavy artillery has become the
terror Of the enemy, and the appear
ance Of the GROWER (the I6 As inch
mOrtar) is always JOyfully welcomed
by our troops Its effect is fearful
have seen too massive walls OF a house
penetrated by It. The defamation
breaks all the windows IN the vicinity
When our fire is effective, the
French simply abandon their guns II
Il is less effective. one notices that the
guns are pulled out OF the line Of fire,
while the ammunition wagons are left
standing They often succeed IN lin
bering up with extraordinary quick
ness and getting into another position
further back. The French fieldpiece,
both as regards effectiveness and the
readiness with which IL can be handled
must be considered good"
