3-CENT STAMPS ORDERED
FOR POSTAL INCREASE

In order to have a supply of three
cent staps on hand at the local post
office when the increase in postage
rates go into effect on November l,
Postmaster Leavy yesterday sent in a
requisition for large supply, as well
as number of the new tWo-cent
postal cards. However, as every post
office in the country will be ordering
these three-cent stamps, it is expect
ed that there will be some delay by
the department in filling all orders.
The local office now has several
thousand of the three-cent stamps on
hand, and in the event this supply is
exhausted before the new ones ar
rive, a two-cent and a one cent stamp
will have to be used on all letters
going out of Brunswick. AS previ-
ously announced, there will be no in
crease in the postage on local letters.

FABER PITCHES CHICAGO
TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP
OVER NEW YORK GIANTS

New York, Oct. 15.-Urban Faber
this afternoon pitched the Chicago
White Sox the worlds championship
when his club defeated the New York
Giants in the sixth game of the series
by a score of to 2, thus making it
four against two for Rowland's Ameri
can League champions.
1t was a sadly disappointed throng
of New 'ork fans who walked out
of the Polo grounds. Although their
club had three times been defeated
in the first five ames, they expected
a victory this afternoon, which would
have given the New Workers another
chance at the world series, but, fight
as hard as they could, they were uAt
able tn crush the fast going Chicag
club and when, in the fourth innin.
the American leaguers put four run
across the plate, New York fans a ]
most gave up hope, only to reviva
again and shout themselves hoars
when the Giants maze two tallies il
the fifth. But this ended the run,
getting as far as the locals were con-
cerned.
Manager McGraW sent in to oppose
Faber, Rube Benton, who pitched such
an excellent game on last Tuesday.
The defeat can hardly be contributed
to Benton. however. because errors
of his teammates in the fourth paved
the way for Chicagos victory. Ben
ton was later taken out to give way
to a pinch hitter, and Perritt finish
ed the game, pitching we'll. Only one
run was scored off his delivery
Faber who has participated in four
of the six ames played, pitched great
ball from beginning TO end. The only
two bases on balls he gave during the
entire game resulted in runs in the
fourth inning. From that time on he
was invincible, and was never in a
serious hole.
The Game.

ALARM OVER U-BOAT MENACE
German Submarines Sink AGO. Tons
of Shipping During Past Week
Threaten to Sweep Seas.

There is great concern among the
Allies and throughout the United
States over the German U-boat men
ace which has been increasing at a
terrific rate.
Secretary of Interior Lane an
nounces that during the past week
Germany has sunk 100000 tons of
shipping with her U-boats and that
unless the Allies or the United States
can devise some way of coping with
this menace at once, England and
France will face certain starvation.
British ENJOYS in the United States
admit that the situation is very grave
for the worlds shipping tonnage is
less than 50,000,000 tons and ships
cannot be built nearly as rapidly as
Germany is sinking them. The worlds
shipping construction in 1916 was
slightly less than 100000 tons and If
something is not done at once, Ger
many will make clean sweep OF the
seas.
Secretary Lansing announces that
80 ships were sunk during the past
week.
Lane Predicts Long War.
Secretary Lane declared he believed
the war would last several years and
that every resource of the country
must be used to bring victory.
"Many persons thought" said Sec
rotary Lane, "that all we had to do
was to issue bonds and that Germany
would bow her head in submission.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. We do not know when this war
will end. l believe it will last several
years. Herbert c. Hoover has inform
ed this government that Germany has
food enough to last two years, per-
haps longer.
Germany Has Advantage.
Germany has made the greatest
fight of history and she has the ad-
vantage now of fighting a defensive
warfare. Don't go back home and in
spire your people with the thought
that immediate action can bring this
war to an immediate end. Your people
must look to this years crop and next
years crop and the next after that.
eve can't afford to fail in this war
Every man in this country is involved
in this work and every man in The
country is a soldier. The French hope
to break down the morale Of the Ger
man armies. Our concern is to see
that our own morale rises"
Baker Adds Voice.
State and federal governments mus
work in closest cooperation in the ma
tion's history, if the nation is to be
successful in the greatest of all wars
Secretary of War Baker declared.
Especially will this complete coop
Grafton be necessary in putting to-
gether the parts Of the great army ma
chine authorized by Congress, Baker
said. =.
