there may be some peasant surprises.
But if the Cubs do win the pen
nant it will not be because of their
superior strength. Rather, it will be
because the Giants and the other
teams of the National League are
weak this season-weaker than they
have been for several campaigns.
On the class of baseball shown in
recent engagements, it is safe to as
sert that any of the three leading
teams of the National today would
have been extremely lucky to finish
in the first division four years ago.
That is how badly the teams have
fallen off.
Some one should arise and explain
the White Sox and their tactics when
opposed to the Mackmen. Having &C
complished this easy task, we will
give the correct guesser hard one to
crack.
Against other teams in the league
the Sox win, the pitchers are marvels
of effectiveness, and the batters
come through just fairly. But pit
them against the Macks, and there is
a different story.
Our best pitchers are ineffective,
and our batters stand up and clout
the offerings of the toppiest pitchers
Connie Mack possesses. But usually
the Macks manage to clout just a lit
tie bit better.

Oklahoma City, June 16-This week
the Usage Indians are receiving a
payment that amounts TO $lS1 each
for all members of the tribe, big or
little, old or young. 1t is moiety
OF the money that comes in every
year for these Indians as royalty and
bonus on oil and gas leases in their
fruitful and increasingly wealthy ter
ritory. The Indians will get their
money from the agency and most Of
them will turn it over to people who
have extended credit to them. Most
of the Osages have little conception
of the valIe of their money and
they part with it freely and constant
ly in advance of Icing seized of it.
Payment day in the Usage is big
day for Indians and traders. This
payment money tor the Usage In
dams comes as borus and royalty on
oil and gas leases in the eastern part
OF the nation. Most of the develop
ment in that section has been under
the Foster lease, which covered as a
blanket 6S6,OOO acres of very rich
OIL and gas territory. This lease is
being operated at this time principally
by sublessees Of the Foster people.
1t will expire by limitation in 1916
and the renewal or releasing Of this
territory IS one of the big questions

to $25,000,000 day. A mean figure Is arrived at by Yves Guyot. It Is $22,OO0,0O0 a day, or about $4,5OO,- 900, ,OOO for the first six months cam paign, including the initial cost of mobilization.
 It is estimated that there are now over S,50O,O00 men under arms for land warfare, and 340,0O0 seamen. If the Balkan wars be taken as an ex- ample, the cost of each man mobil- ized amounts to $2.50 a day. This gives about $22,OOO,OO0 daily, or $66O,- OOO, ,OOO a month, or for six months s3 ,96O 100000. But this figure, says Yves Guyot, does not include the cost of maintaining the armies and fleets. On August 4, the day the ultima tum was sent by Great Britain to Germany demanding an assurance that the neutrality of Belgium be re- spected, which was followed by Ger many's rejection, and the declaration of war against her by Great Britain at Il p. m., the German Reichstag authorized extraordinary credits to the extent of $2,25O, 100000 to be ob- tained by a loan, and further sum of $7O,OOO,OOO to be drawn on the gold and silver supply of the empire. A tax of five per cent. on the stock of notes issued by the Reichsbank ov- CT and above it's reserve in metal and was subsequently, suppressed, and the loan was secured by an issue of bank. notes uncovered by a reserve of gold and silver.
 | It has been stated in Vienna that the Austrian army costs $4,0OO,OOO a day, but the Austrian treasury was emptied by the mobilization during the Balkan wars, which drained the financial resources of the empire for more than a year, and it is hard to see where the Austrian monarchy can find the s2OO, 100000 required to keep up her armies and fleet, as no news of fresh financial legislation has been lreceiyed.-EX.

EUROPE cLAMoRS FOR CLOTH.
 ING.

Naturally the first thought of Flu ropean nations, when they were plunged into war, was of food sup plies for their armies and the folks at home. This demand sent the prices of foodstuffs soaring in this coun- try, but the Instructions to shipping caused a check which resulted in reg ulating prices to the demand and the possibility of supply. Ocean paths are being opened and the supply of American wheat and foodstuffs is go. ing forward.
 Now Europe is clamoring for cloth ing. Winter is coming on and ex- perts agree that the war will last un- til next spring, at least. American manufacturers are receiving orders for clothing of all kinds. The Brit ish, French and Russians want huge quantities of blankets for the men in the trenches and for horses. France and Great Britain are asking for bids TUT SuUeS TUT luelI dIllilcS. ucIc c is d sudden demand for sheepskins for overcoats. Our mills are called on hurriedly to supply underwear socks and gloves in preparation for the cold weather. Harness, leather and saddle horses are needed at once A thousand automobile trucks, said to be for the Russians use, must be produced without delay. Half a mil lion reels of barbed wire, measuring approximately 125,00O miles, are to be delivered within the next few months. The shortage of hospital supplies can be met only from Amer
 ca. Even large quantities of clocks are demanded.
 When millions of men are engaged in wholesale destruction and the in- dustries of Europe are paralyzed by war, it has no choice but to turn to the one great nation where peace pre- yails and labor and materials are plentiful .--Ex

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1914.
SERVICE TO ALASkA-AND WICK
 ERSHAM.

The service which President Will ic leaders in congress have rendered Alaska during the present week should not go unforgotten in the north. With the close of last week, the Alaska coal lands leasing bill, a measure second only to the railroad bill in it's importance to the people of this territory, was as dead as a door nail Since Sunday the great president of the nation has resurrect- ed the measure, breathed the breath of life into it. and coached it across the goal.
 In order to perform this one addi- tonal service to Alaska, the presi- vented congress from adjourning the longest, hardest working and most fruitful session the national lawmak- CTS have held since the civil war, and kept senators and representatives, who are candidates for reelection, out of campaign in which all the great national policies of the admin istration are at stake. The service has been one that has involved the political fortunes and personal com fort of tired and worn men. It has given an inspiring example of pub lie service and devotion to duty that amount to patriotism of the highest order And Alaska is the beneficiary.
 And-pardon the intrusion, but the connection is inevitable-where Was Wickersham while the great of the nation were enacting this patriotic role? What was the man whom the United States pays $7,500 year to represent Alaskans at Washington doing while the president, members of his cabinet, and the big ones in the Senate and House of Represen- tatives, after a toilsome legislative session of seventeen and one-half months, were laboring on for the men and women of the north? Of what benefit to Alaska in this crisis was that wonderful influence and matchless ability of which we have heard so much?
 Wickersham had deserted his post that he might come to Alaska and
