are playing in a frightened manner,
now that the lines are drawn tight
for the finish, and need ballast,
They played atrocious ball in the
final two games against st. Louis,
getting an even break because the
Browns, were even worse in the final
engagement The two worst fielding
slips were by Faber. That doesn't
reflect on the remainder of the club,
but some of the baserunning was
horrible to contemplate. Ness was
trapped of third and lived only be-
cause Hartley made a horrible
throw. Jackson was caught at the
plate on a slow bump to the pitcher
when he had no chance to score, and
Buck Weaver was doubled on a fly to
the outfeld.
Several of the double steals at
tempted would have gone wrong
against a good catcher, but Hartley
was throwing badly The Sox knew
this, of course, and it was good bust
ness and good thinking to run on
these occasions, but some of the
other work was decidedly of color.
Opportunity is right here for the
South Siders. All they have to do
is play some intelligent baseball for
the next 16 days and they have as
good a chance as any one to land the

This National league flag is going
to be decided on it's merits and not
because some lucky team draws a
soft opponent at an opportupe mo-

for the tTiumvirate of contenders and
there can be no aIibis on that score.
Mr. Tinker's Cubs are not having
any fun in Boston. Joe has the
weakest team mechanically that has
represented US in ten years, but it
is team with the proper spirit,
doing the best in it's power under Sc

ing in the punch, except for timely
poke now and then by one of the out
fielders. Generally the pitchers can
be counted on for a good account of
themselves, but if the hurler slips
the whole team is liable to look bad.
Tinker seems to have a good out
fielder in Elmer Smith and Carter is
a fine young pitcher. From a next
year standpoint, matters are by no
means gloomy. The absence Of Larry
Doyle right now is a severe blow and
criticism should not be hung on
Tinker for the position of the club.

Women Bosses.
(NeW York WOrld).

The biggest undertaking in bossism ever proposed in this country is the plan of the managers of the new WOman's party to deliver 4,000,000 votes in twelve suffrage states to the presidential candidate who makes the most attractive bid. What this party demands is votes for women by Fed eral constitutional amendment.
 In their platforms both of the old parties pronounced in favor of the extension of the suffrage by states. President Wilson is committed to this policy. It is the hope of the bosses of the Woman's party that before Au- gust 10, when they are to hold con- ference at Colorado Springs, MT. Hughes will announce his conversion to the natiOn- wide movement first ad- vocated by Susan B. Anthony, where upon the votes of the 4,0O0,O0O will be pledged to him without more ado.
 In the execution of this scheme we can see only one certain result. It ia not possible to herd 4,0O0. 900 women at the polls in support of anybody. Most WOmen are opposed to the Susan B. Anthony method of procedure, and practically all of them are democra Is GOT republicans before they are suffra- gists.
 The one thing sure to result from this enterprise if it becomes formid- able enough for any reason to attra e. attention is the complication of the suffrage movement with party politics. What has been gained thus far has been due to the good will of all par ties. With either one of the great political organizations antagonized, as is contemplated, it will be many a year before there will be another suffrage state, and the Susan B. An- thony amendment will be as dead as it's author.

 It is to be deplored that so many complaints are coming from our VOL unteer soldiers. Even were some of the malcontents just in their claims, they should not air their grievances to the entire country. Men in the army are not supposed or expected cation. To do so makes them ridiculous in the eyes of the nation. A soldier is not expected to whimper Our men who went to the border must have known they were going to meet with conditions slightly different from those back home. They must have known they were not going on a joy ride. or a junket, at Uncle Sam's expense And while they have all the rights in the world to complain if they are not justly cared for. they should make their demands on the proper author- ities Simmered down, it begins to look as if some of the boys have been subjected to the jokes of those old time campaigners who hold forth in the regular army The soldiers of Uncle Sam who have spent a consid- erable time on the border have prob ably had a little fun at the expense of what they call "Rookies." If this is the cause of the trouble it should be the regular army officer in command should carry the desired effect. Sure ly something must be done to quiet the discontented element or we may the National Guard will be discredited forever.

New Anti-Aircraft Guns,
(NeW York Tribune)

The official accounts of the anti aircraft guns mounted in the Penn sylvania and Nevada are, of course. very vague, but it is announced that forty such guns are already built and this is reassuring if they are half as efficient as they are reported to be- Three years ago we had no guns of this kind; now our ships are to be equipped with what Mr. Daniels de- scribes as the most effective anti aircraft guns in the world" And the boast is probably justified if they are capable of doing all that is attributed to them. It is said that they have a vertical range of 27,0 feet.
 Comparisons are difficult because we cannot be certain of the ranges of foreign guns. The Germans are supposed to be very well equipped in this way, but according to the ex- perience of French and British air men hits are rarely scored at more than 14,0O0 feet or so. Som etlmes, however, machines have come under fire at greater heights, and 1t Is re-

Sensible Action.
(f1artfOrd POst).


 Sensible action has been taken by the Democratic Town Committee of Milford in inviting progressives who disapprove of the action of the leaders of their party in attempting to hand the organization over to the republi- can old guard, to join forces with the democrats on the ground that the democratic party alone typifies pro- gressive ideals and has in national legislation progressed far along the road that the progressives have ex- pressed a desire to travel There must be in Milford and other towns many progressives and inde- pendents to whom such an invitation will appeal. The republican party has nothing in 1916 to offer the progress sives who quit it's ranks for conscien- -tious reasons in 1912. The rep11f- lican party is the same republican par ty which nominated William H. Taft in precisely the way he was nOminat- ed. It is still dominated by the same men who dominated it's convention and dictated the tactics which split the party wide open in 1912. The steering committee which the repub- lican party has selected to advise with the candidate prOgrossives are now
 
 of the very same men whose methods drove the progrossives out four years ago.
 All over the country real prOgrps- sives are protesting against being de- liVered like so many cattle to the old guard which is fighting for exist ence. These men have nothing in common with republicans of the class who dominate republican affairs. They have everything in common With the men who dominate democratic affairs in the nation and in Connecticut- everything except a party label And a party label ought not to keep apart men who agree on so many things and who are seekers after the com- mon end of good government. clean government and progressive legisla- ton.

 There are twelve rivers in the state, none of which is navigable. The Salado, m the northern section, is fla nous for it's fish and fine pearl oys- ters.
 The valleys on the eastern slopes of the mountains are extremely fer tile, producing many cereals and large crops of sugar-cane together with fruits and vegetables raised for the early spring market in American ci- ties. Cattle raising is one of the chief industries of the state, large herds of sheep, goats and beef cattle finding ex- cellent pasturage on the plateau Like most of the Mexican states, the wealth of Nuevo Leon is largely in it's mines' the principal mineral products belnS lead, zinc and silver.
 The state is we'll supplied with railroads, two of the big trunk lines of the republic furnishing communi- cation with Laredo, Eagle Pass, Mex ico City, Tampico and TorreOn. The northern border lies 135 miles in an airline below San Antonio, Texas, and the southern lip of the state IS crossed by the Tropic of Cancer. "Nuevo Leon is one of the few states of Mexico in which no remains of the Aztecs or earlier races of pre- historic times nave been found.

The Kaiscr's DeIusion.
(New York Times.) )


 Kaiser Wilhelm explained to some wounded soldiers on his recent visit 1 to the eastern front why he is unable to take a more active part in the war. ! It is not conceivable that any of his soldiers have expected him to fight in the trenches or to lead charges. But it is quite understandable that as military leader he sometimes feels re- gret that he is unable to make his personal mark on the enemy" He has been a man of action as we'll as a man of words. His words in this speech, as reported in a dispatch which reaches the rest of the world through Berne, were of 3 kind to as- tound twentieth century democracies. It seems incredible that even his sol diers, born in an enlightened age be- lieve that "the inscrutable Almighty has burdened him with the leadership of his country and it's armies. It is tn- conceivable that the millions of men and women of German birth or de- scent in this country can even pre- tend to believe that the Kaiser acts by divine appointment that by the force of divine destiny he must think and decide for a great nation.
 There is no doubt of the sincerity of
 
 pointment of kings He has often ex- pressed it. But most of the western world outgrew the notion of the di- vine origin of kings centuries ago. It would be difficult to say how many Russians still believe in the divine au- thOrity of the Czar, but Russia has not yet wholly emerged into the light Germany is a progressive country, and has eXerted a tremendous influence upon modern thought. But underly- ing all the show of enlightenment is this pernicious idea of earthly power responsible only to divine authority, a divine authority ere ated by the Ger man imagination for German use. an idea tolerated by the few. blindly ac- cepted by the many. In its name Bel gium was laid waste, France was in vaded, helpless women and children have been brutally slaughtered. For this idea of a German right and wrong, peculiar only to Germany, the empire is at war today with the other great powers, and the current of sym pathy in the countries not drawn into the war is strongly against her. It is the idea that must be crushed out of existence before this terrible war is finished.
 When there is talk of crushing Ger many, that is what is meant-the de- struction of the vain belief which seems in the last two years to have obsessed the German dynasty that it is fulfilling it's destiny under a divine will that knows no compassion, that discards all treaty obligations while they trample upon the rights of Ger many's neigh bors in it's effort to ex- tend upon the earth's surface a kind of power so rcpugnant to the rest of humanity, The Kaiser's delusion must be diapeI1ed.

corded that an officer flying at 4,500 feet observed a shell bursting about 1000 feet above him.
 In his testimony before the air craft inquiry in London the other day General Sir David Henderson re- marked that one lieutenant in the British service had in his possession fuse of a German anti-aircraft shell marked 7,500 metres, that is, ahou1 p, 900 feet. He himself did not be- lieve, however, that the Germans would be likely to waste much ammu- milton on airplancs at an elevation of 2O,000 feet. Hence, if our guns are capable of doing mischief at 27,000 feet it may well be that they are su- perior to those in use abroad.

 BLazes in Weup0 Leon

Washington, D. C., July 27.-Nuevo Leon, the smallest but most densely populated of the Mexican border states, is the subject of today's war geography bulletin issued by the Ma tional Geographic society Tn Wash ington:
 "Of all the frontier states patrolled by our National Guard, Nuevo Leon presents the least difficulties from a strictly border point of view" says the bulletin, flor less than twenty miles of this political division of ex- tremely irregular outline touches the Rio Grande It is almost completely enclosed by the adjoining border states of Tamaulipas and Coahuila. For a distance of 125 miles, however, it is separated from the border only by a narrow strip of Tamaulipas, varying in width from ten to thirty miles.
 ''Nuevo Leon is only about one fourth as large as the state of Chihuahua, but it has nine -tenths as many people. Compared with Amer ican commonWealths, it is about half as large as Mississippi, with a popula- tion equal to that of Utah.
