St. Louis, Mo-, Oct 10-What is con- sidered by the leading bishops and lay deputies as the most important con- clave of Episcopalians ever held in this country will begin here tomor- row, when the forty-fourth triennial general convention assemblies in the Moolah Temple. St. Lotus was select ed for the meeting this year because the Rt. Rev. Daniel s. Futile. bishop of Missouri, and senior of all Episco- pal bishops, will have been bishop half a century if he lives to May of next year. The present convention in this city falls nearest the anniversary, and will celebrate it.
 Among the important matters to be acted upon by the general convention are the question of altering the di- vorce canon to prevent the remarriage of any person whose partner is still living, a proposal to shorten the Ten Commandments by the omission of the time- honored reasons for, their Ob- servance, the adoption of an adequate pension system for the clergy. the election of a bishop for negroes in the

New York. Oct. 1O.-Firmly en- trenched in their own grounds, the Brooklyn Nationals turned upon the Boston American today, and wrested victory from the Red Sox by a score of 4 to 3, in the third game of the world series.
 True to their prediction, the Su- perbas playing at Ebbetts' field proved far more formidable than when under the spell of Boston's cold disdain. Twice deprived of victory, after the thrilling battles at Braves field, they finally arose in their might this aft ernoon and with the plaudits of nome fans ringing in their ears, they bat ted out victory with . savage vigorr, swinging their bludgeons ..with such effect that neither the pitching stan nor the stonewall defense of the Red Sox could hold them in check.
 As the result of the Brooklyn tri- umph, their supporters hopes reach ed great heights and the victory was followed by one of the most extraor- dinary celebrations eycr seen on world series battlefield. :.

Count Terauchi Declares He Will Promote Ties With
 the United States.
IS STATESMAN.
 AND NOT SOLDIER
Oriental Nations Leading Military Figure, Now Head of Ministry, Sets at Rest Fears Aroused by
 His Recent Appointment.
Copyright by Associated Press)

Tokio, Oct. 10.-Fears of a section
 of the Japanese public, which have found an echo in the United States
 and China, that the coming into power
 of the new ministry may be tanta- mount to war, was discussed frankly
 today by the premier, Count Seiki Press the first statement he has made
 in regard to the foreign policy of his administration.
 The premier gave expression, in a sentence, to the spirit which he de- clared would animate his dealings with other nations. It was the asser- tion that Japan would not take any aggressive steps toward the United States or any other country. "so long as Japan's vital interests and busi- nesses are not infringed."
 ''Any idea that l shall waive the sword while I am prime minister to Japan is based on false comprehen- sion of my career and complete mis- conception of the Japanese empire, it's past, and it's hope and ideals for the future," he said.
 "The dramatic summons to the premiership of Field Marshal Terau- chi, Japans dominating military figure has excited discussion overshadowed by no single event in modern Japa- nese history. In view of the world wide interest in the significance of hisr appointment and the misgiving it has apparently caused, the premier, who, has long had the reputation of taci' turnity, consented to- break his silence and give to the world through the As sociated Press a general idea of his purpose. During the interview, he conversed readily. His right arm, shattered by a bullet in Sago rebel lion in 1877, hung powerless by his side. His rugged face, turned in re- pose, relaxed with smile when he said:
 "Tell the American peope that my earnest and constant endeavor shall be to promote the friendly ties which have bound Japan and America for half century. Your people know my administrative record in Korea. Be- cause I am a successful soldier, shall that prevent my being prudent min- ister of state? Say it, repeat it, that I come as statesman, that I seek the lasting benefit of my peope, and not as a soldier seeking qualification by the sword.'

 Battle of Cushions.
 Across the field, the Royal Root CTS" of Boston, undaunted by defeat or by the thousands of their rivals, took up the famous "Tessie' song and march, and soon the park was filled with parading battalions. After a number of maneuvers, the adherents of the two clubs met m midfield and after an interchange of cheers. good- naturedly bombarded each other with cushions The demonstrations made up in part for the lack of thrilling features which lifted the. first two contests from out of the ranks of ordinary baseball conflicts.
 Robins Take Lead.
 Brooklyn jumped into the lead in tOday's contest and was never head ed, altho the Red Sox crept up to within a run of tying the score In the closing innings. In contrast with the Boston games, that of today was played in cold, crisp'weather and over coats were necessary for comfort to the spectators in all but the sunny left field stand.
 Jack Coombs, already veteran of two series with the Philadelphia Ath- letics, came in for unstinted praise. both for his splendid twirling in the early innings of the game and later for his self-abnegation in requesting to be relieved when he. felt himself slipping, and realized that to remain in the box might entail defeat for his teammates.
 < Until the seventh inning he held the Red sox to six hits and two runs. but when Larry Gardner lifted the ball over the right field wall for a home run, Coombs realized that he was losing his cunning. His team mates urged him to remain in the game. but the hurler was firm in his

Secretary of State Lansing Holds Conference With
 President Wilson.
GERMAN ACTIVITY
 FILLED WITH DANGER
Believed Government Win Point Out To Germany the Inadvisability of Conducting Warfare So Close
 To Shores of U. s.

Long Branch, N. J. Oct 1O.--Presi- l dent Wilson and Secretary of State ] Lansing discussed in detail at Shad-
 ow Lawn tonight the German subma-
 rine attacks on merchantmen Sunday
 off the New England coast. The con- ference lasted until late tonight, and will be continued tomorrow morning. It was indicated by officials today that facts so far collected through government agencies have shown no grounds for action by the United
 States government, because of the at-
 tacks themselves. No evidence has
 been found that international law was violated by the German submarine or submarines.
 It was understood, however, that the president and MT. Lansing discussed the wisdom of pointing out to Ger many the individuality of operating her submarines in close proximity to the territorial waters of the United States.
 Administration officials took the po- sition that the transferring of sub- marine warfare so close to Ameri- ca's shores was fraught with grave danger because of the possibility of mistakes being made by submarine commanders. Reports that strong sentiment exists in Germany for the resumption of submarine warfare on a broader scale caused some alarm among officials.
 The announcement of Councillor Polk of the state department in Wash ington today that the United States will refuse to accept the contention of the entente allies that neutrals should deny the use of their harbors to all submarines, preceded the arrival Of Secretary Lansing here. The president and the secretary of state went over this point in connection with the discussion of the entire issue.
 Shortly before Secretary Lansing arrived Jules Jusserand, the French ambassador, conferred with President Wilson, chiefly on Mexican affairs. MT. Jusserand said he came to enlist the support of the president in ob- taining the resembling of decree is- sued by the Carranza government. which has had the effect of "seques- tering" about $5O,OOO,000 in French money invested in two banks in Mexi- co City.

Question Is Narrow.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Final decision on the policy of the United States to- wards the U-boat raids off the New England coast has narrowed down, in the view of officials here, to con-. sideration of whether proper provis- ion was made for the safety of the persons taken from the attacked ves- sells and left at sea in small boats.
 Although without definite informa- ton as to the attitude which will be taken by President Wilson, with whom the decision rests, high official circles are convinced that only direct evil dence of insufficient steps to protect life will develop diplomatic issue between the United States and Ger many. A statement of the facts has been requested from American naval officers at Newport.
