KEEPING Us OUT OF WAR

Preparedness has suffered a slump
neither the close of the political cam
paig nor the approach Of the Christ
mas season can explain. As a topic
OF conversation II has disappeared
from human ken and only those now
seem interested that were last and
least interested.
1t is characteristic of Secretary Jo-
sephus Daniels Of the Navy that be
should express concern about the
condition and the relative size of the
United States navy after everybody
has quit worrying because "he kept
us out of war" and, presumably, will
continue to do it. Josephus feels it
his duty, he writes to Congress, TO
warn as solemnly as I may against
the danger that lies in a possible feel
ing on the part Of our people that the
navy has been placed where it be
longs among the great nayies Of the
world and that there is nothing fur
Their to be DONE"
Josephus, unfortunately, is in the
embarrassing position Of being re-
quired by ordinary prudence to ex-
pose those very naval inadequacies
which he was compelled by political
e%xigencies 10 deny during the recent
campaign. II was a good navy, a com
plete navy, a very devil Of a navy.
before the election. and now it is so
incomplete a navy that even Josephus,
that gentle, simple and perfect soul,
is constrained to warn the people
against placing too much confidence
in it.
Though the incident Is interesting
as disclosing Josephus' belated con-
version to the theory that the bust
ness Of a navy is to fight or to be
prepared to fight, he may as well re-
turn to his knitting. Nobody is dis
posed to get excited. A navy is least
among American needs for he who
kept us out of war is on the job for

RUSSIA TOO BUSY

Consul General at Moscow Saws
Trade Pact Must Wait.

John NJ. Snodgrass, American Consul
General at Moscow, said yesterday tina,
no new commercial treaty with Russia
could be concluded until after the war.
"They will tell you frankly over there
he said, that Russia can't spare the
time now for any negotiations which
have no direct bearing on the war"
Mr.. Snodgrass was resting at IA.

August 81. He was compelled 10 travel
north from Moscow around the head a,

to Stockholm, where he and Mrs. Snod.

Swedish American liner Stockholm

COUNT BERNSTORFF
TO CALL ON WILSON
Envoy Expected to Present Kali
ser's Reply on Poland.

Long Branch, n. j., Oct. 3.-Count
Won Bernstorff, German Ambassador to
the United States, will call on President
Wilson here next Monday. 1t is under
stood that he will present to Mr.. Wilson
a personal letter from the German EN-
peror replying to autograph messages
sent by the President to the rulers OF
several European nations urging that
method be agreed upon for getting re-
lief supplies to the starving people in
Poland.
1t has been reported that the German
reply does not tend to bring about an
agreement. The Entente Allies have
taken the attitude that they will allow
the shipment of supplies TO Poland If
food already there is not shipped out
nor utilized by German and Austrian
troops. This has not met with favor
from the German and Austro- Hunga-
rian governments.
The contemplated visit of Count Won
Bernstorff revived reports of possible
moves for peace in Europe or of
resumption of Germany's submarine
warfare. Ambassador Gerard is on his
way home from Berlin. So far as could
be established here tonight, however.
the coming Of the German Ambassador
TO Shadow Lawn has no connection with
either Of these reports.

BY ERNESTINE EVANS.

Cleveland Oct. 3.--The women on the
national campaign train finished their
schedule with a rouslne
mass meeting for Hughes in the Audi
forum here tonight. They began
electioneering at o'clock this morn
ing, attended an elaborate breakfast IN
Rochester at the Genesee Country Club
and went on to Buffalo for political
matinee at the Star Theatre. The time
between Rochester and Buffalo was
passed in critical review of their ef-
forts thus far.
No military staff on the eve Of battle
ever suffered so amiably the ready
criticism of co-workers. With Frances
Kellor presiding, the meeting was
opened with historical discussion Of
mems campaign trains and the mascu-
line way of working.
"The men get up and say whatever
they have in their heads" she said.
"They aren't bound by noblesse obl!ge
to avoid long -windedness nor the other
fellows pet preserves in topic and
story. But we had better lay out a
schedule Each one must choose line
and stick to it,"
Then the round table went to work
pulling the first dag speeches to pieces.
MARY Antin. you are too long" Miss
Antin smiled. "Also. you weren't prac-
teal enough. It's fine thing to convey
what you feel about the Americaniza-

when Mr.. Root had read a telegram Of
regret from Mr.. Fairbanks there were
cries for TEDDY, Teddy, Teddy"
The Colonel took the platform in a
loud chorus Of cheers. Referring to Mr..
Hughes's speech, he said
1T is the kind Of speech that is
eminently proper in this club-a club
formed in the dark days Of the nation,
in the DAYS that tried mems souls.
formed by men-I am happy to say that
my father was one Of the men-formed
by men who dearly loved peace and
who loved righteousness more than
peace.
"Fifty-odd years ago there were men
in this country who we're too proud to
fight, but they were not found in this
club and they did not vote for Abrs-
ham Lincoln. Fifty-odd years ago
there were men in the nation that were
too proud to fight-that is. to fight q
foreign foe. I won't say foreign foe
That was a wrong statement OF what
occurred. Too proud to fight the foe
of the nation, but they were perfectly
willing to fight the police and the draft
riots.
Duty Not to Cringe.
"And now in the greatest crisis for
the world as a whole that the world
has seen since the Napoleonic wars, it
is our duty and privilege to stand once
more for the principles for which the
men of the early SOS who founded this
club stood, to stand for peace hon
estly and sincerely by every honora-
bic expedient. but TO stand for it in
that effective way which means that
the man standing for it asks it as
right. in the spirit Of justice. and does
not cringe for 10 as a favor TO be
granted contemptuously by a wrong
doer.
AT this moment we are informed
that in the German Reichstag there is
a debate going forward as TO whether
or not they will resume what they call
the U-boat warfare-what / call the
murder on the hish seas of men, wom-
en- and children. And you can guaran-
tee that there would be no debate on
that subject if they knew that we had
as President Of the United States a
man who would not tolerate any kind
of action of that sort.
Wilson Invites Insult.
"Mr. Wilson's speech last Saturday
was an invitation to foreign powers to
do whatever they wish, because If he
were in power they need not be
afraid.
Nov, Take the sentences about
keeping US out Of war at all costs last
Saturday, and these sentences about
prompt challenge and resistance to-
gether, and one group of sentences is

weasel and which the egg. But one Of
them sucks all the meaning out of the
other"

In McGraw's implied accusations
there is not hint of bribery. He seems
TO believe his men were deliberately

OF fellow feeling for the players across

1t was in 1878 that Pat Devin, with
three others, of Boston made charges
Of corruption in organized baseball.
Since that time no player has ever made
any allegations against the honesty of
the game, though there have been many
disgruntled players who might have
made such charges had they been able
TO substantiate them.

Tough Luck" MOran'S
Comment on Finish

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-Manager Moran
was in anything but good humor over
the loss of the two games 70 Boston
to-day, and with it the National League
pennant Yet he took things rather
philosophically, merely remsrking that
1t was tough luck"
My boys did the best they could"
said Pat. eve have all pulled to-
gether, and if the flag Is gone it can't
Dc helped. Conditions were against us
for the last three weeks, and no one
can say that We quit"
when asked what he thought Of the
statement by John J. McGraw that the
Giants quit 10 Brooklyn, Moran shook
his head.
81 hardly think that Mac would make
a foolish break like that" he said. ZAP
parently he Is sore that the Giants did
not make better showing against the
Dodgers after 80 recently winning
twenty-six straight games, but that he
should make any such statement seri-
ously ! do not believe.
Il can understand that the Giants,
having nothing at stake. should not
break their nccks TO win, but that any
one Of them would deliberately throw
game or lay down is nonsense, for it
would be baseball suicide. I suppose
some such charge would have been
made against the Braves IL conditions
had been reversed.
Boston would have been charged
with laying down if we had beaten
them six straight. IL is the brea,.s Of
the game, and had Bancroft been able
TO play the National League pennant
would still be hanging in the bal
ance."
What few Philles were reached to-
night secuted the idea that the New
York Giants would deliberately throw
game 70 Brooklyn. All voiced the
same opinion as their manager, and
were too mu,h broken up over the loss
of the penna,t through ineffectiveness
of their pitchers in the pinch to-day,
the many breaks that favored the
Braves and absence of Bancroft to
think much Of what was going on in
another city.
