 Germans Are Too Strong
 Paris. Aug. i9-The two arm- ies at Waterloo fought each other to a standstill yesterday, and the German forces with drew during the afternoon and are apparently awaiting rein forcements. The battle front extends close to thirty miles ill length. Military experts in this city fear the numbers of the Germans are So great that the Allies will be unable to check them permanetly. unless Russia Is able to make a strong attack on Germany's eastern frontier within a few days, ani thus force the latter country 10 divide her forces. It Is esti- mated that Germany now has over a million men of all arms in Belgium, which Is more than the Allies can mass against them. Great Britain has one hundred thousand men avail able. Belgium about as many more. and France four hundred thousand. The Germans con- tinue the solid frontal attack Of men closely ma~sed, which Of course enables them 10 hit hard when they come in actual touch with the forces opposing them but the rifle and machine gun fire has been SO heavy in all most all their attacks that they have failed to come 10 clutches. their closely punched ranks going down like grain beforH the reaper while yet they were yards and yards away from th" objective point. But in spite ( all this, their numbers and or ganization enables them l'' rush more men forwardto talk the places Of those who havc fallen. This fact makes tho military experts believe that in spite Of defeat after defeat Germany will press steadily for ward until she is on French soil. and then will come thf great and final matching of the strength of the two forces Every mile the German troop advance makes if that mucF harder to keep them supplied with food and ammunition, w,hilf it puts the French just tha' much nearer their base Of sup plies and makes the task Of caring for their army that much easier.

BUT 1T WASN'T ANY USE
BECAUSE Pete SCHNEIDER
CERTAINLY KNEW HOW To
HANDLE that SPHERE

SEATTLE. May 18.-With a
whole boat load of Tacoma fans
shouting their heads off, and one
of the biggest Seattle crowds az
sembled on the grounds that has
been present at a game this sea-
son, McGinnity's Tigers tried and
tried in vain yesterday. Pete
Schneider was indicative. He
had been properly trimmed by
Izzy Kaufman Thursday, and he
came right back at the star Tiger
twirler to the tune of s to /.
Although Tacoma made three
errors-and they were cortly
one. too-the visitors cannot be
credited with putting up a poor
contest. They fought hard,
tooth and toe-nail, but luck was
against them and the errors were
all pardonable.
The only chance that the tt
gers had was In the eighth In
ming. And 1t was Seattle's tight
playing that prevented more
than single runner to dart
across the rubber pad. With the
bases full, Million lined out a
hot drive to center. Killilay
captured the ball, and with en-
IRENE cleverness, hurled it to
third, allowing West to score bur
keeping the other runners in
their places. McMullin came up
to bat next, and the Conversation
league fans from Tacoma demand
ed that he do something.
Mac had done such splendid
work Saturday, with two doubles
and two singles to his credit, that
the fans expected some sensa-
tional walloping of the sphere.
Schneider slipped over three nice
ones, and McMullin smashed 1t
every one-and missed. He be-
came SO Infatuated that he
slammed his bat on the ground
in disgust. The score:
