It came on a Sun day. years ago, when I was on Chances team, and we staged an ex- hibition game with the Bridgeport club. The battle was staged on an island. We didn't have our full team there.

We didn't have many assists that day, but the scorekeeper was generous with the errors.' Sec retary Charley Williams of the Cubs, was listening when Joe was talking: II remember that game" he said. The grandstand caught fire just be- fore the game started. The island was so small that many of the fans waded out in the water to avoid the heat But we needed the money, so staged the game anyway. The fans lined up in front of the charred re- mains of the stands and thought it was great sport"

 Strong for Braves
 And, barring an unusual lot of bad luck, Evers is certain of being in his sixth world series.
 'I don't believe any one" he saysp knows what strong club we have this year. I am absolutely confident that we are 25 per cent stronger than we were in 1914, when we had terrible start and still won out

 Weak Spots Bolstered.
 "In the outfield we are stronger than we have ever been, with Magee, Conn nolly, Compton, Snodgrass and 1 others. Even if every recruit we have fails to make good the club will i be strong one. If one of two of the youngsters came through I can't { figure how we can lose.

 Evers looks for one of the great races of baseball in his league.

Some women always wear worn,

nervousness, neurasthenia perhaps,
with Its characteristic symptoms of
worry, headaches and sleeplessness.
Overwork, grief, undue excitement,
the late hours and nervous strain of q
strenuous social season, lack OF out-of-
door exercise, any or all Of these may
be responsible for the trouble but the
most common cause at this season of
the year is the grip.
Whatever the cause, il you feel the
need of more strength try the great

BUILDING A SHIP A DAY.

United States yards are building new
ship every day. 1t is a record never be-
fore equaled in our country, and is the
sequel of our stupendous exports at a
time when world commerce is upset by a
world war. There are now building or
under contract 1868 steel vessels. the ag-
gregate of whose tonnage exceeds l,
129, 200. Ships bearing the Stars and
Stripes have more than doubled since
the war began, and the increase is still
going at high tide. Prior to August,
1914, less than tenth of Americas for
elgn commerce was carried in American
ships; but at the present rate of building
new ones the period following the end of
war will see totally different story.
The business of transporting over five
billion of exports and imports is trade
worth going after, and keeping after till
we get it.

The big Drive" that was the chief
topic OF military experts and the cherish
ed dreams of men in the trenches. has
been going on now since July End. The
great drive was launched, according to
reports, with firing of 5000, coo shells,
at cost of $l25, 900, 900, with a million
and half men engaged in tremendous
military effort
According to military experts this move
ment marks focal point in the allied cam
pa1gn 1t marks the change on the part
OF the Allies from the defensive to the
offensive. The Teutonic forces thus
losing the advantage which they have
neld since the beginning OF the gigantic
conflict &c
Inc drive was not heralded. 1t came
suddenly-the English had allowed the
IDEA to prevail in England that there
would be no great offensive until the
months of March or April, In 1917. This
idea seeped into Germany and was rather
generally credited But as one English
man put 1t: ave had to keep the Ger
mans busy, so we started our part of the
performance.
The drive, while taken part in bv all
the allied nations, is principally British
undertaking. The French operations
have taken the form of a supporting
movement to make secure the British
right flank, which it is said any consider
able advance would lay open to attack.
The British have realized that up to the
present they have not taken the center
OF the stage. The munition factories of
the British have produced the inconceiv-
able amount of guns, large and small,
Win enormous quantities of ammunition
ol an KINDS that have made this drive
possible. A day has seen the Central
Enplres put on the defensive in every
tneater OF the conf1ict-that was the first
day of the big push.
The generals that have held the guld-
ing relns and have arranged the drive
are Joftre, Haig and Robertson. These
three generals are the flower of the
Allied armies. General Joffre and the
French general staff, in conference with
General Sir Douglas Haig, Sir William
Robertson and the British staff, decided
SIX weeks before the drive commenced
the point on the eighty miles of line held
by the British where the tremendous at
tack should be made. The generals are
IN accord as to every feature of the I'M
dertaking.
The front from Hebuturne to the Som
me was selected with Cambria as the
OBJECTIVE point. Cambria is the center
OF net work of railroads and highways,
these were used by the Germans as
routes for the transportation of material
to a large part of their FRONT

Wilson's inconsistency and his lnsin-

He is a standardized Democrat, so says

Mr.. Wilson is an artful dodger in poll

ever since his election. His child labor

Far above the dusty road
Which curves about thy rugged feet,
Dost thou stand, tall. sturdy, proud!
Thy head towers high above the fields,
Westward o'erlooks the winding lake
Broken in course by islands green;
Eastward scans the deep blue bay
Glist'ning and cleaning with sail and craft
How grand thou dost appear!
Thou shad'west like protecting wing
The little village at thy feet.
Thy Turing paths and neighborly slopes
Invite my wandering feet.
Thou monument of hope and strength.
