Washington, Oct. 15.--Railroads of
the west are expected by officials here
to follow the eastern roads in asking
the Interstate Commerce commission
to consider the granting of increased
rates on large number Of eommodi-
ties or even to seek a general advance
in all rates.
Indications are that executives of
western roads will await the outcome
of the conference to be held here
Wednesday between eastern execu-
tives and the commission before maxi
ing move. Officials have received
intirnations within the last forty eight
hours that the action was under con-
sideration.
western roads have fallen below their
banner figures of year ago. Gross
receipts have been much higher but
operating expenses have outstripped
the increase.
Southern roads, whose net revenues
have been rising as those Of eastern
and western roads fell, have taken no
step looking toward another applica-
ton, so far as officials here know, but
it is considered likely that they will
join the others.
At Wednesdays conference tenta-
tive, informal proposal is expected
from the executives of eastern roads.
1t SO happens that this conference will
be held at time when many state
railroad commissioners will be in the
city and officials regard IT as very
certain that representatives of the
state commissioners will attend the
meeting to protest against any gem
eral advance in rates.

In Flanders no military operations
on large scale have been attempted
but the guns are carrying out recip-
rocal bombardments of great violence.
The British troops have carried out
several successful raids, in which se-
we're casualties were inflicted on the
Germans and prisoners and machine
guns were taken.
After the lapse Of two days the
heavy artillery duels have been ie-
sumed between the French and the
Germans on the Verdun front, es-
pecially to the north of the famous
hill 344.
Big Offensive Soon.
Preparations apparently are being
made along the Julian front OF the
Austro- Italian theater for another big
battle. In the Brestovizza valley and
on several other sectors the artillery
of both sides is engaged in heavy
fighting and there also have been
accommodating encounters.
The entente allies in Macedonia are
keeping up their harassing tactics
against positions held by the Teutonic
allies, daily throwing heavy lombard
ments against them or launching in
fantry attacks of considerable pro-
portion.
Germans Gain Island.
The German forces which landed cn
the island of Oesel at the head of the
gulf of Riga have captured Arens-
burg. capital of the island, and are
still pursuing the Russians at various
places. Aiding the operations as far
as possible are German cruisers and
torpedo boats, which have shelled
coast batteries and towns. Attempts by
the German fleet to enter the gulf
of Riga or to operate in the waters
between Oesel and Dago islands, how
ever, are meeting with the resistance
from the Russian lana batteries and
Russian naval units. In the lattas
region the Germans declined to accept
battle and retired in the face of the
Russian warships.
Gulf of Finland Mined.
AS yet no attempts have been mace
by the Germans to effect landing on
the coast of Esthonia or penetrate the
gulf of Finland, the waters of which

The British mercantile cruiser Cham

New York, Oct. 15.-Coming out of
the west like Lochinvar Of old, the
Chicago Americans won the wolld
series baseball championship here this
afternoon, defeating the New York
Nationals, to 2, in the sixth and
deciding game OF the 1917 diamond
classic. For the first time in almost
a decade the titular banner will fiut-
ter over the fans in the middlewest
metropolis next spring when the Sc
ries pennant is raised at Gomskey
park as evidence of the superiority Of
the White Sox in the great national
game.
After winning the first two games
on their home field md losing the
next two at the Polo grounds the
Chicago club clinched the Sonfalon
with two straight victories, one at
Comiskey park and the other at the
lair of the Giants. The New York
club did not go down to defeat today
without desperate resistance The bat
tie was surcharged with sensational
situations and thrilling plays, but he
invading combination with the edge
of a one-game lead was not to be
denied. 1t was the Giants who even
tually broke under the STRAIN of the
conflict.
On Even Terms Three Innings.
With Rube Benton, the towering
southpaw from Clinton, N. c., waging
pitching duel for the locals against
the curves of Urban Faber, the Cas-
cade, Ia, hurler of the White SoX, the
battle was fought through three full
innings without either team giving
the slightest margin either offensive
lily or defensively. In tho "fatal
fourth" however, the Giants faltered
for just moment and seizing their
advantage the players of Chicago rush
ed into the breach and captured the
first world series championship em-
Elem won by the city on the shores of
Lake Michigan since Frank Chances
Cubs defeated the Detroit Americans
in the struggle of 1908.
While the Nationals made a game
rally in the fifth and the Sox added
another run in the ninth. the three
runs scored by the Chicago team in
the fourth session were the deciding
factor. The play in this inning con-
vinced the thirty-odd thousand spec
tators present that for this season at
least, the pehnant winning club of the
American league is better than that
which won the race in the senior or
ganization.
Crowd n Record breaker.
That the championship should be
decided in the fourth inning was in
keeping with the feature and factor
play throughout the series. The Chi
cago club scored it's winning run in
this inning during the first game and
collected five in the second contest
in the same period. In the third and
fourth contests, won by the Giants, ehe
winning team scored the only runs of
the battle in the fourth inning of the
third and the first of the five runs in
the fourth game which was a 5-to-0
shutout in favor Of New York. Z he

others. But there are at least half a
dozen in the east whom nobody has
ever accused of being actors, but who
nevertheless are Just staggering with
dramatic ability.
One of these is Ernest r. Ringo, who
plays the part of candy Dempsey, "
the hotel proprietor. Like most actors
the erstwhile district attorney is mod
est. He admits that he is rather good
on the stage, and that in his college
days he was considered something of a
star, but he disclaims being the genius
the director says he is. However, the
director says he is genius and If he
doesn't know nobody does.
Andy Dempsey's hotel reminds one
of the Marion before it changed its
name, and Battlesburg, the Iowa town
in which it is located reminds one OF
Salem before the streets were paved
quite while before. Andy himself
doesn t remind one of anybody. He is
O character sui generis, as the lawyers
say, and when YOU see "Get Rich Quick
Walliugford" you viii be convinced
that that is exactly what Andy is.
Andy Dempsey is what J. Rufus
Wallingford (Chas. V. Galloway calls
a "real boob" "Blaekie" Daw
James Mott) agrees with J. Rufus that
ANDY is a "'boob'' and ought to be
:" trimmed. So the two confidence
men proceed to 'fleece" him in the APP
proved Wallingford fashion. 1t takes
four acts to do it, but they do it. The
funny part of it is that although Andy
is thoroughly fleeced, the Fleeing pro

funny, but then "Get-RiehQuiek Wal

George NJ Cohan calls it the most
laughable comedy on the modern stage,
and Cohan wrote it himself.
You win never forget Mr.. Ringo as
Andy Dempsey in ''Get-Rieh' Quick
Wallingford. The part calls for q
laugh every time he speaks and he is
speaking most of the time. He never
gets out Of his character, and he never
"misses fire" In fact he handles the
great comedy role as though acting
was his regular business.

many personal appeals and an immense
petition for the pardon of F. Drew
Caminetti, convicted under the white
slave law. in test case, President Will

Anthony Caminetti, mother of the con
victed man, it became known today.
Mrs. Caminetti has made many per-
sonal appeals to the president. The
letter follows:
"The white house.
MY dear Mrs. Caminetti:
"It tears my heart to have to say to
you that / cannot see my way clear to
pardon your son. If l followed the die
tates of my heart or allowed myself to
be influenced by my genuine feeling
for yourself and your husband, l would
of course, do it, but in matters of this
sort it seems to be my imperative duty
to leave personal feelings and connec.
tions out of the question entirely and
look at the matter from public point
of view with regard to the influence
it would have with other cases. When
/ look at the case of your son from
this point of view, it seems to be clear
ly my duty to withhold pardon.
"My heart goues out to you in gen
uine sympathy, my dear Mrs. Caminet-
ii, and l cannot tell you what it costs
me to write this but I am sure you
will understand that l am moved en-
tirely by a sense of imperative duty.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson,
