 Runner Lad i, that Mrs Gait favored the Philadelphia team, and the report Was borne out by the fact that when the Philadelphia fans rose en rnasse when their team went to the bat in the seventh inning the President and Mrs. Galt got up with them. Mrs. Galt talked excitedly to Mayor Blankenburg in the adjoining box when Philadelphia tied the score in the fifth inning.
 The President kept his own score card and followed each play closely. He used to play baseball himself when in college and applauded feature plays lmpartialy.
 MT. Wilson and shis bride-to-be kept up running fire of comments on the game Mrs. Galt wore a bouquet gwen her earlier in the day by the President and gloves hid her solitaire diamond engage ment ring. After the game the Presi- dent. Mrs. Galt ard those with them hur- ried to waiting automobiles through cheering crowds that almost blocked the street. The President waved his hat. He was cheered almost continuously during the ride back to the station. where an other throng had gathered to see him. The President shook hands with each member of police detail Of his escort and also greeted the station master. As the train pulled out, he and Mrs. Galt stood on the observation platform waving their farewells.

Handling of Balkan Situa- tion Described as Exceed
 ingly Coarse Work
HOUSE OF LORDS WILL
 PRIZE COURT MATTER
Secret Diplomacy Is Taken to Task in Blunt Fashion by the Post-The Times Not Surprised at Gov
 ernment's Blunder

London, October 9.-The newspapers de- | space to discussion of tho foreign of fees share in the Balkan denouement. The Post, after remarling that It's hand ling of Balkan affairs "has been a series of blunders which would have been re-
 markable in a parish counoi' discusses
 the work of the foreign office In the dip
 lomatic exchanges which preceded the
 war, and then in the contraband contro- versy over iron ore and cotton. | The Post finally turns bluntly to the
 proposal for establishing an international | court of appeals from decision of the prize court saying:
 Tt appears that proposals are being entertained by the foreign office. We
 are glad Lord Strachie is to raise the question in the House or Lords. Should 1 i, prove to be the case that such q de- | sign is being prosecuted. we say plainly l that in the name of national honor and our national security, the resignation of Sir Edward Grey and the reorganiza- ton of the foreign office will be de- manded.
 Incompetence
 We do not propose to commit the de- csons of British judge to mongrel society of foreign jurists in which Great
 Britain can be outvoted by representa- tives of Ecuador. Bolivia, Switzerland and Germany. The record of the foreign of flee is sufficiently dubious. It may be that it's series of unparalleled blunders is due simply to incompetence If 1t Is not incompetence. what is it?' The Post lodges vigorous disagreement against old-fashuned secret diplomacy, remarl<jng that the British foreign Of fee almost demanded absolute immunity flom criticism or comment Previous to the war" the newspaper declares. ''the premier and his friends assured us noth- ing could be more friendly than the at t,tude of Germany to Great Britain. Last year the amount of diplomatic and the virle misrepresentation was briefly con clrded-in war"
 In it's discussion of Balkan affairs the Mail says:
 We have frittered away our great near es stern prestige of power and tradition, literally allowing them to be snatched out Of our hands through optimism, careless ness and stupidity. Our failure closes great page in history. What possible ex- cuse has the foreign office to make to our allies and people?"
 The Times Not Surprised
 The Times Is not surprised to find the oveinments record in relation to it's Bal kan policy becoming matter of public discussion asserting thar the shortcom- ings Of British diplomacy constitute a painful theme. 1t contends that Great Britain held a unique position in the Bal Ike ms. especially In Bulgaria. for sbe alone among the entente powers had a reputa- tion for complete unsefishness of purpose In Ballian politics.

SUICIDE.F FOR GREECE
 NOT TO OPEN WAR ON
 BULGARIA., HE ASSERTS

Paris. Nov. 5-WhiIe agreeing that the Greek crisis is serious, opinion here is divided as to the probable consequences. Jean Herbette, whose judgment on international policies usually is sound, points out in regard to the 114 to 147 vote denying con fdence:
 '"Dhe majority knows.'' says M Her bette, E.'that if Greece does not intend suicide she must attack Bulgaria as soon as possible. We must consider, then, that there can be only an inter ventionist government or an unconsti- tutional one in Greece. Evidently our obligations toward Greece will differ according to whether the gov- ernment has chosen to respect the cause of right or to violate it.''
 The Journal takes a gloomy view of the situation.
 ''It is impossible says the paper, mot to remark the coincidence be- tween the crisis and the arrival at Athens Of the German mission headed by Col. Won Falkenhayn. Our ad- versaries never fail to strike while the iron is hot"
