MI. Foraker,s Defeat.

In the defeat of Joseph B. Foraker OF
Ohio. who was an aspirant for the Re
publican nomination for the Senate at
the popular primaries on Tuesday, the
Democrats as a national party lost
ground. His success would have meant
that the Republican party, in the stu'
pidity of statewide primary, could not
separate itself from the leaders whose
activity and prominence had given rise
to the insurgent movement out OF which
grew the Progressive party.
1t would be q great mistake for the
Republican party to go into the fight
this year under standpat leadership all
around. The danger is already consid.
cradle that there will be too much OF
this. Mr.. Foraker is immessurably ADLER
than Warren G. Harding, who has de-
feated him, and il is conceivable that
Mr.. Foraker would get the greater num-
Der of votes, because of his brilliant per-
sonality and his peculiar effectiveness on
the stump. But the Republican party
in state and nation, has been immeasur-
ably strengthened by the nomination OF
the less conspicuous man. His is new
face and a new figure. Any charges
against him will be new ones.-Boston
Herald.

l65 600 may be brought up. This would
put the allies at least on an equal foot"
ing with Germans and not impossibly
give them the numerical advantage. 1t
| Is also quite conceivable that the allies
might presently take the offensive II
I4iege holds out and endeavor to drive
the Germans back upon the still untak-
en- forts of Liege and thus catch them
between two fires.
So far as history is concerned, II sup
plies eloquent testimony to the impor-
tancc other generals have attached to
this line. Neerwinden, where Luxem-
burg defeated William H., and Coburg,
Dumouriez, is but six miles from Tirle-
mont, Wavre, where Grouchy fought a
portion of Bluecher's army in the Wa
terloo campaign, as well as Ligny, where
Napoleon won his last victory, are south
of Louvain. Fleurus, Families, score
of other famous fields are on the line
of the German advance. while the monu-
ment at Waterloo itself is visible from
the Brussels Liege train near Louvain.
In sum, then, the delay at Liege has
given the allies an opportunity to take
M strong line on the road OF German
advance many miles north of French ter
ritory. The geographical and military
conditions point to the selection OF the
position between the Dyle-Demer and
the Meuse in the quadrillatersl of Diest-
Louvain- Namur- Huy. Finally, the fight
ing so far has developed the presence
of the allies exactly on this line
Such being the case, the Germans VIII

taken. whether TO abandon the advance

ALLIED POSITION
IN BELGIUM
The Line on Which the German Ad-
vance to France Is to Be
Resisted.

Despite the rigid censorship which
continues to cloak all the principal op'
erations and main positions OF the Eng
lish French Belgian armies, sufficient
data have been supplied in the hast few
days TO demonstrate pretty definitely
the line on which the German advance
from Liege via Brussels TO northern
France ia to be resisted, if the Germans
persist in this operation.
The simplest fashion, perhaps, IN
which to describe the allied position is
to consider the developments since sun
day, Aug. 2, when the German violation
of the neutrality of Belgium was first
suspected as at hand On that day the
Belgian army was mobilizing the field
force at Louvain, Is miles east OF Brus'
sells. and troops assigned TO garrison the
fortified posts, at Antwerp Liege, Ma
mur. Huy and Dicst. The French army
had also begun to mobilize, and one con
siderable army was unquestionably con-
centrating on the Belgian frontier be-
tween Maubeuge and Lille.
Immediately the attack upon Llege
became known and the certainty that =
resistance would be made was estab'
lished a forward movement on the part
of the French carried an advance guard

IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Howard Baker, the star third saeker OF
the Evansville, Ind, club OF the Central
league, has been signed by the Chicago
Americans. Baker will not join the team
until next season.
'fDoc. Keegan, the former Norwich lad
who is playing with the Springfield club
of the Eastern association, is able to bat
from both sides Of the plate. Recently
he shifted from the left TO the right side
and hit safely twice out of as many
times up against eft-hander.
Henri Rondeau, the Minneapolis catch
or. has been purchased by the Washing
ton Americans. In exchange, the MIN
neapolis club will get four players as
vet unknown. Rondeau is to be deliv'
cred Jan. |. Rondeau was formerly IN
the New England league and is consid'
cred one of the best baekstops in minor
league ball.
Witt, the Goddard baseball captain, is
hitting for .425 with TIE st. Johnsbury

is batting for 1928.
Larry Laioie is now Communicating
the French reservists on the Cleveland
bench
Rube yickers. the one.time star of the
old Northern league, and the former
Philadelphia pitcher, is now playing
semi. professional baseball in the vicinity
of New York.
It is said that Hans Wagner, the Red
Sox shortstop, whose arm went back on
him at the start of the season, may be
manager of the Providence club next
wear. President Lannin of the Red Sox
who is owner OF the Providence club,
thinks that Wagner would make a great
manager The Providence fans are
strong for Bill Donovan, the ex-llger'
and may kick on the change.
IL have no intentions of replacing Jen'

TIGERS. Under the circumstances Jen-
nings has done exceptionally well with
the Detroit club this year and he VIII be
back at the helm next year. The Tigers
have been unfortunate because OF nu-
merous injuries to the star players and
Jennings has done his share by keeping
the men in a fighting mood, keeping

At the outset OF the season Schmidt,
the big first sacker of the Braves, was
not rated highly as big Lacquer. HIS
clumsy poise on the field was entirely
against his favor Schmidt is a timely
and good sticker and has proved an ex.

sack proves to be a fine target for the
infeld. The biggest asset OF Schmidt Is
the energetic manner in which he enters
the game. His fight and dash has had
much to do with raising the Boston team
into second place.

Their course was said to be directed to-
ward Pueblo. The fact that the sol.

deal of speculation. Many shrewd OBJ

The necessity for such action is hint.
