NATI0N-WID CAMPAIGN
ON TO CHECK DISLOYALTY
Patriotic and Defense Societies Ap-
point Chairnen for 1000
Communities.

a widespread campaign against sedi-
tous propaganda is being planned by
the officers of the National Committee
of Patriotic and Defense Societies
Lieut.. Gen. s. B. NJ. Young and VIII
nam Mather Lewis of Washington,
George Wharton Pepper of PhiIs-
delphia and Edward Harding of New
York, representing forty-two oreani-
cations.
The committee is getting in. touch
with the 1000 local chairmen of the
societies and organizing them to com
pat unpatr1otic action of every kind in
their communities. 4 state chairman
has been appointed in every state to
have direction of this movement The
committee is organizing a press bu-
reau TO reach the smallest papers in
the country and, will in many other
ways bring its message of patriotism
home to every individual in the coun-
try. \ letter addressed to the local
leaders by the officers reads, in part:
we have almost as dangerous an
enemy to combat at home as we do
across the seas, and those of us who
cannot give our service to the Army
should do our part by looking to il
that our soldiers are not subjected to
a backfire from this country. We must
be particularly watchful for the in
sldIouS influence which finds its outlet
through private conversation. Appar-
emily good Americans tell US that we
should keep our soldiers at home and
not subject them to danger on Euro
pean battlefields. This idea had it's
inception in German sources, and its
authors knew well that if we did not
fight in France we must sooner or later
fight in our own country. - y
We urge upon you the necessity of
advising our Washington office of un-
american propaganda and dis!oyal in
dividuals in your community SO that
we may lay these matters before the
Department of Justice. All these things
merit your most earnest efforts. If
you do them you will have done your
part in a great world victory; if you
neglect them the government of the
United States may well be crippled.
viii you kindly advise US whether we
may count on your loyal support in
this matter and as to the situation in
your community at the present time?"

McGRAw NOT BoAsTFUL.
Giants Pilot Expects Series With
White Sox to Be Tough.

PITTSBURGH, September 24-Man-
arer McGraw. when asked for
statement concerning the chances of
the Giants in the coming world series,
had the following to say:
"From all indications, this series will
proye a mighty tough one. and, as usual
IN the case of short series, 1t is i'm
nossible to make an accurate prediction
1T its outcome. Too much can happen
in such a series to upset the dope, based
on past performances.
"As far as the Giants are concerned, I
will say this much: The team will go
into the world series prepared to make
great fight for the coveted honors,
and l am sure it will give good ac-
count Of itself. T expect to have every
man in the club in excellent shape for
the big tussle. The pitchers have
rounded into top form during the past
fsw weeks, and we will go into the
series confident of making a creditable
fight.

GIANTS NEED ONE GAME
Lone Victory Will Decide National
League Race in Favor of
McGraW's Crew.

Although the Phillies are making a
dying effort to keep the Giants from
| becoming National League champions
one more victory for the New York
club will clinch the argument beyond
dispute. The Phillies have just finished
winning i've straight games from the
Cubs, and are only ten games behind
the Giants. but to cheat McGraw's team
out of a chance to meet the White Sox
for the base ball supremacy of the uni
verse the Phillies would have to win all
of their remaining ten games, and in
! the same ratio the Giants would have
to lose all of their remaining ten
| games.
| The Giants open at ST. Louis today
for three-game series and then travel
winding up the season against the
| Phillies m the Philadelphia park in a
| four game series Each of these teams
have been difficult to handle on their
home grounds. but 1t is hardly likely
that the Giants can be kept from win
ming at least one of these ten games
The Phils open today against the
Pirates. which should not afford any
great opposition, and finish in st. Louis
To be In the race when they get home
the Quakers must not lose a game.
The Giants have had only one i'm
portant series in the last six weeks, or
one on which the pennant race seemed
to hinge. and that was with the Phillies
at the Polo Grounds. Then the teams
played six games in three days, and the
Giants won four of the six. Should the
pennant still be in doubt when the
Giants get to Philadelphia the Phils
still have to take four straight from
McGraw's outfit, another task as hope
less as expecting the Giants to lose six
straight games to the Cards and Reds.

Term for Murder. Picked I'm Here

Linwood Carter, coIored. twenty
seven years old. was arrested yesterday
by Detective Livingston and Policemen
Fegan and Emhrey of the second pre-
cinct on suspicion that he was an es-
capped prisoner from Virginia. When
he reached the police station he pre-
sented a registration card bearing the
name of Porter Lewis, and told a story
that came near convincing Capt Peck
that his men had made a mistake in
his identity.
Wen hold you anyhow said the
captain, who directed that the colored
man be placed in cell.
Fifteen minutes later the prisoner
summoned Capt. Peck to his cell and
admitted his identity. He said he was
serving fifteen years for having killed
a colored woman at Newport News. and
that he escaped from a prison camp
near Marion some time ago. The Vir-
ginia authorities have been notified of
his arrest.
