After driving eight miles in a wagon
over muddy and rough roads, the W
o. ". team of this city trimmed the
Buffalo Center nine at Buffalo Prairie
yesterday afternoon by q score OF 5
TO 1. Only seven innings were played
that the Islanders might return home
in time. G. Means, hurting for the
Woodmen, was in great form, and held
the home team without a hit; in fact.
the Buffalo boys failed to slam the
ball out of the infeld. Their only run
was the result OF errors. The Wood
men garnered eight hits of Hanck.
BirEeIen's home run in the fifth re-
suited in three runs and cinched the
same for the Woodmen. Klouda Sc

times at bat. The score:

UNITED STATES BECOMES CREDI.
TOR NATION

According to financial statements, the
United States, within the space of the past
year, has loaned to foreign nations
1886, 100000 On the other hand, it has
taken back securities and cancelled obliga-
tions aggregating about $4,000 100000.
In addition to this, since the war started
this country has taken back approximate
ly one billion dollars par value Of American
securities previously owned abroad.
Moreover, international bankers claim that
by the payment Of obligations due abroad,
and by the return of balances Of different
kinds previously held by foreigners in
this country, Americans liquidated close
to another billion dollars of foreign debts.
The total of loans made and indebted
ness cancelled now aggregates nearly
$3,000,0 100000. These stupendous figures,
according to financiers, have turned the
United States into creditor nation within
the past year

PADEREWSKI GIVES HEART
RENDING DESCRIPTION OF
POLAND

IN an address delivered in Boston
last week by Paderewski, the famous
Polish pianist, he said in part:
cat the present moment Poland is, to
degree only memory.
Think what could remain of a
country where in many districts those
huge armies of millions of men havebeen
moving forward and backward for more
than year. Over a year of continu-
GUS fighting, over year Of incessant
danger, over year of uninterrupted
terror, anguish and pain imposed upon
an entirely innocent nation. Millions
of homeless peasants, of unemployed
workmen, Of humble Jewish shop
keepers, have been driven into the open
millions of bereft parents, of bread
less, helpless widows and orphans, are
wandering about in the desert land
hiding among the ruins, in hollows,
happy if they find an abandoned trench
and in that trench some decaying rem
nants of soldiers food Out of a colos-
sal army of 100000 men, native-born
Polish soldiers, 100000 in Prussian,
100000 in Austrian, and 100000 in
Russian Poland, out Of all that scarcely
one-fourth remains, compelled to fight
brother against brother, always in the
front row-three-fourths of our youth,
the nations very hope and life have
been killed or wounded and the fate of
the others is already sealed.
what is left for the people? Dur
ing the winter and spring entire dis
tricts died from cold, exposure or hun
ger. The number of children, of babes,
to whom their mothers, as Sienkiewicz
says, have nothing to give but their
tears, while the number of children dy-
ing or dead of starvation is simply ap-
palling. And what will become of these
poor innocent little creatures if there is
another winter Of it all, and there will
be if this war goes on"

TURKISH GOVERNMENT FILES
COUNTER CHARGES

To offset the charges of inhumanity
in the Armenian massacres, the Turk
ISL government has filed counter charges
with Secretary Lansing, alleging the
most fiendish and barbarous acts to have
been committed on Moslems along the
Caucasian frontier by Russian troops,
aided by the Greek and Armenian popu-
lation of that region.
The allegations cover statements of
the murder and outrage of women, the
piercing of babies cheeks with bayonets
to prevent them from nursing, and the
burning of people alive.
Fresh reports of atrocities upon Ar
menians by Turks continue to arrive.
H. H. Topakyan, Of New York, Persian
Consul General, has appealed personally
to Secretary Lansing for aid, declaring
that sixty-eight members of his own and
his wjfe's families had been put to
death, and that altogether a half million

UNPARALLELED EXPORT TRADE

A general revival Of foreign traffic I'M
equaled since 1907 is reported by almost
every railroad entering New York City
Every possible craft has been pressed into
service to carry the enormous volume of
exports across the Atlantic.
While great many passenger lines have
been taken off, their places have been
filled, as far as possible, with other vessels.
Every ship sailing for Europe rides low in
the water with cargo crowding the hold.
Exports for September broke all records,
their value being $163,O00,000. The ship
ments consist very largely of steel and
grain. 1t is claimed that every wire mill
