DID PAGE SPEAK
FOR POLITICAL EFFECT
Made Address on Vocational Education
When There Was No Bill on Sub
ject Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July IS. -
Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont, OBJ
tanning tn consent of the senate on
Monday morning, July "a, delivered
speech ON vocational education, but as
there is no vocational educational bill
before the senate at this time the ques-
ton is being asked, why did Senator
Page inject himself into Il speech on the
subject of vocational education at this
time!
To show that there is no interest in
the senate at this time on this subject
it may be stated that there were six
senators present during the delivery of
the speech by Senator Page. Five of
those present were busy with bills and
papers and were not even passive lis
tcners. The sixth senator reclined in
his seat and had the appearance of be-
ing asleep. The press gallery contained
not a single reporter.
This unusual proceeding, n senator
making a speech on a subject not for
consideration, has caused some comment
and this action on the part of the junior
senator from Vermont is set down as a
political move in the interest of his
campaign for reelection. 1t is the
belief here that the senator 5 speech
will be printed and widely distributed
to the voters of his home state in an
effort to show his activity in the senate.
The situation regarding vocational ed
ucation is that the Hoke Smith bill is
on the calendar with favorable report
from committee, but it viii not be
acted upon this session. Naturally, then,
! the question, Why a speech from Sen
ator Page on this subject at this time,
if not for political consumption in his
own state?''

Ottoman Forces Retreat 100
Miles Before Russians in
a Single Week
OCCUPATION OF
ARMENIA COMPLETED
Gar Empire Is Preparing for another
Year of War-Great Numbers Are
Still Being Called to the colors in
Russia.

PETROGRAD, via London, july 29-
Russian troops covered 100 miles in
their advance ON Erzingan within y
week. The capture of that citv means
the virtual completion of the Russian Or
cupatlon of Turkish Armenia. 1t gives
Russia the benefit of the extremely fer
tile valley and opens an easy means of
communication through Trebizond for
the western and southern Caucasian
armies.
1t is estimated that the Turks had
between % and 80 divisions between
the Black sea and Mush-approxima
~ $4,000 men. Three months ago the
Turks undertook a comprehensive cam
paIgn, intended to recapture Erzerum
and incidentally to draw troops from
the Russian European theater.
Gen. Eudenich, the Russian command
er IN the Caucasus, succeeded, however.
IN holding the Turks in the Erzerum
district while delivering an effective
blow at them in the Mush district.
In order to counter this thanking from
the south and a similar effort from the
north, the Russians were obliged tenn
porarily to abandon Mamakhatun. 80
miles west of Erzerum. The Russians
now have captured Trchizond, Baiburt
and Gumish Khaneh and reoccupied
Mamakhatun.
The Galician advance of the Russians
has caused the Germans to withdraw
troops from the Balkans, and Turks
were sent there to replace them.
The Russians, quick to see the ad-
vantage thus afforded, started Wig
orous offensive toward Erzingan. Only
rear guard battle preceded the cap
ture Of the town, the Turkish main
forces having been beaten and forced to
retreat toward Sives.
Col. Shumskv, military critic of the
Bourse Gazette, in an article on the
victory of the Russians ut Erzingan
SAYS:
This defeat of the best troops of the
Ottoman empire has quite broken the
Turkish defense. No further serious
offensive can be expected, since only
parts of divisions from the CONSTANT
noPle, Thraeean and Egyptian armies
can be spared to patch up these broken
units
Discussing the energetic preparations
Of the Russians for continuance of the
war, Gen. Chouvaieff, minister Of war,
in an interview with the Russky Slovo
says:
cit is necessary to dispel the illusion
! that the war can end in the autumn
The breaking down of the enemy 5
forces has already begun-a fact as
well known by the Germans as by the
| Entente allies-but Germany S tech.
nique is SO high that in spite of he1
economic weakening and the lowered
morale of her troops Germany still has
the power to resist and we must look
forward to further struggle before the
! final victory.
''This explains the recent orders call
| ing to the colors men ordinarily exempt
Russia already has a large reserve, but
1 it is our intention that this reserve
shall not diminish. 1t is fitting alsC
that the foreign races in Russia, who
ordinarily would not be obliged to serve
should be recruited, if not in the active
army, at least in work connected Will
the conduct of the war, for all element,
in Russia will receive the benefits OF
victory

The Father of Baseball.

The father of baseball was Abner
Doubleday. who was born in Ballston
Spa, n. Y. ninety-seven years ago.
He was a distinguished general of the
union army in the civil war, but his
greatest claim to fame is as the in
ventor of Americas favorite pastime.
II was while a student at Coopers-
town, y. Y, that he originated the
game to which the name of baseball
vas given. and which was an adapta-
ton and development Of the older
sports of FOUNDERS" and town ball"
The crude pastme contrived by
Doubleday was further developed by
Alexander J. Cartwright, 2ne of his
young associates, who invented the
the first rules. In 1916 the first match
game between regular clubs was
played in Hoboken, n. j., two New
York teams contesting. The first
baseball association, an amateur or
ganization, was launched in 1857. and
in the same year Henry Chadwick
who shares with General Doubleday
the title Of father of BASEBALL pub
lished the first official rul, book. The
first regular baseball plant was built
in Brooklyn in 1852. A. j. Reach was
the first professional ball player, hav-
ing been hired by the Philadelphia
Athletics, who lured him away from
BROOKLYN In 1864. The first all-pro-
fessional club was the Cincinnati Red
Stockings of 1869, and the first pro-
fessional circuit, the National associa-
ton. was launched in 1871, becoming
the National league in 1875. The first
minor league, called the International,
started in 1877.
