NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-Pat Mo-
rams Phillies won something besides
a pennant at Boston. They won a
lot of supporters who heretofore
have considered the Quaker aggre-
cation a joke champion, and one
that would be utterly at sea outside
the box-like Philadelphia park.
Yesterdays game, in which Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander drove his
thirty-frst spike into the pennant
pole, was the acid test in way. 1t
was played against team that GER
tainly has as much fight as the Red
Sox, and on the field on which next
week the Quakers will attempt to
grab the worlds title.
The game proved lot of things. not
the least of which was that Cactus
Cravath can hit homers in any lot.
Red Sox partisans have been crying
that old Cactus would find 1t wasn't
so easy to make the circuit on soil
tary smash in the Braves Iark. as It
was in the Philly lot with its short
fences. Cravath fiung the lie in Bos-
tons very teeth by cracking homer
a double. scoring two runs himself and
driving in two more!
The game also gave fandom chance
to size up Alexander working under a
tension. The big Fhllly star held the
Braves to one lonely single. ard issued
but one base on balls No "Crackipg

the man that the Red SoX proba .r Will

BEILICEREiIT NATIONS
 ClRCULATEE WAR NEWS

LONDON, Dec. 19.-The spread of off cial news by wireless broadcast over the globe for whoever can pick it up is a new method of political propaganda which has been introduced through the present Euro pean war.
 When the German owned Atlantic cables were cut and Germanys intercourse with the outer world and with some of ts colo nes by English and French routes was stopped the German high power wireless began sending news north which was des- tined primarily for the United States and the German colonies.
 It was picked up however, by various wireless stations operated by different sys- tens in countries everywhere within its radius, which is a wide one, extending from Germany to the American shores of the Atlantic.
 Both the French and British governments concluded it would be good policy to con- bat this wireless news campalgn by spread ing reports of their own through the same agency. Accordingly the French are now sending military and political bulletins on the progress of events from the French point of view from their station on the Eiffel tower.

CONSTANTINOPLE TO BE
 OCCUPIED BY RUSSIANS

Some English publications have taken up very frankly the question of the future of Constantinople, in view of the Suicide of the Turks" says the New York Sun. Times have changed wonderfully since a primary aim of British diplomacy was to keep Russia bottled up in the Black sea. Today the cession of the great city on the Bosporus to the czar is generally accepted as the nat ural outcome of the present war, Not only that it is recognized that Russia must have land access to her new stronghold, phrase | which means Russian control of the entire | southern shore of the Bl9ck sea- England | is apparently willing to throw in command of the Hellespont so that Russia may have free and unrestricted access to the outer world for her southern territories.
 Time was when such prospect would have been regarded as most menacng to British interests in the Levant,, and as even threatening her Indian empire by al 1 lowing Russia to embarrasS her line of | communication through the Suez canal. | Now all the discussions ignore this phase and | profess to regard Constantln0ple as worth l less to any nation from a political polnt l of view, and of only moral and economic | importance to the Russians as being the key ! to the back door of their trade. The Spec. tatcr quotes Napoleon's saying at Tllslt, that "Conatantinopla means the empire of the world7 cnly to brush it aside as 8 ''very | bad reading of history and a very bad piece of political strategy" It is pointed out | that no power that has ruled at COnstanti- noplc has ever dominated the world. What ! importarce it lad in old times it is ar gued, has been naVigation-an assumption, it may be remarked, that will hardly look 90 plausible should Russia eventually bull! up great naval power
 As to what Russia may do with the city when she gets it, there is little difference of opinion. The notion that she might transfer her capital to it is dismissed as 8 dream. It has no traditon or interest fol the Slav, and with the present war Russs becomes more Slavic than ever in her pride The new possession will be gateway anc a defense for her It will bring her more than ever into touch with the West. Ii w;ll turn her face from Asia to Europe But t will never be her heart as Moscow is, CT her right hand, like PetrOgrad.
 Only two conditions seem to enter into the British mind as essential in the transfer of the Turkish capital and territories. One
 is that Russia should treat her new Mo hammedan subjects Hberaily and humanely This is regarded as guaranteed by her re
 ations with the several millions of follow CTS Of the Prophet already under her stand ard. The second point is the free naviga ton of the two straits and the Black sea with free privileges of trading in what vii be to all intents and purposes inclosed Rus sian waters The plan contemplated is the commercial naturalization of the Dardan eles and Bosporus upon terms similar tt those governing the Suez and Panam; canals
