Aftermath.
BIG GUNS DOING 1T" NOW
British Still Consolidating as
Ieutons Recount Losses
French Continue Repulses !;
Russians Remain Inactive

Big guns were again brought into
action today along the Flanders front
with indications. as usual. that an
other great attack is planned by
Haig's men. The Germans this time
however, were playing second roll
which is contrary to their practices
when artillery is employed
Press reports indicate that the Ger
mans suffered heavily from the Brit.
ish fire. which was conducted un-
ceasingly for several hours.
Little infantry action was partici-
pated in by Haig's troops, who evi
IDENTIFY preferred to give greater at
tention to the movement and action
of the heavy guns.
The Germans have undertaken nc
further counter attacks against the
positions east of Ypres, gained by
the British in Yesterdays campaign
although they. kept them ,under a
heavy fire during the night The
British are consolidating theH new.
ly-won ground. The official state
ment given out today follows:
"Our new positions east of Ypres
were heavily shelled by the enemy
during the night, but no further coun
ter attacks were made. Our troops
have been engaged with organizing
the captured positions.
"a hostile raiding party endeavor
ed to enter our trenches last night
north of Gouzeaucourt. but was driv
en- off with loss
The Germans repeated their at
tacks today upon the French lines or
the Verdun sector, but without ap
parent success.
So much interest is centered around
the political situation in Russia that

ARGENTINE UNDER COVER

Buenos Aires, Oct. 6.-Count Karl
Won Luxburg former German minis
ter to Argentina, who recently was
given his passports for his connec-
ton with dispatches sent through the
Swedish legation to Germany, was
spirited out of Argentina today in a
powerful automobile in charge of a
police captain and rushed to Tigre,
a suburb where the former minister
took a tug to Colona, Uruguay From
there he proceeded by train to Mont
evideo. where he boarded a Spanish
steamer
Won Luxburg is said to have a Span
ish safe conduct, which, according to
displomats, is sufficient to protect his
person but not his papers, from cap
ture. The steamer sailed later for
Spain.
An earlier report to the effect that
Won Luxburg had gone to a ranch Of
a friend and that he intended to
leave Argentina in a few days was
made public by the Argentine foreign
office in order to prevent hostile dem
onstrations against him during his
passage through Uruguay.

at the submarine, opening fire with

passed over the submarine a little to
the rear of the periscope, at the same
time dropping submarine bombs

the destroyer repeated this operation
four times. The fourth depth charge
found it's mark The sea boiled and

Sensational Support.

Chlcaso, Oct. 6.-Eddie Cicotte
pltcher extraordinary to the Chicago
Americans. this afternoon piloted hi,
team to two to one victory over the
New York Giants, winners of the Ma
tlona] League pennant, in the frs
game D What promises to be a hard

fougat at Comisky park and thirty
two thousand paid admissions wit
messed the game.
TIE champion White Sox machine
PLAYED almost faultless ball agains
the determined New Workers. The-sup
port given the winning hurler was al
times sensational. The great Chicago
lniield played with the same consis
teucy as it did during the American
League season, and at times, when
runs appeared apparent, fast play
sometimes 4 double, would check the
Giants chances. In only one inning
the fifth, did Cicotte show any weak
ness whatever. In this inning the
Giants made their only run, and it
took a triple, double and a single
to score it.
Saliee, the old National League
star, was on the mound for McGraw
and he, too heaved an excellent
game. He kept his hits well scatter
ed, was as cool as if he was partici
pating in a practice game, and even
when Flcsch hit g home run in the
fourth inning it did not unnerve him
but ne appeared to strengthen and
pitched magnificent ball during the
remainder of the game. The Giants
also received credit for some fast
and excellent field work Sallee was
given almost faultless support, and
his defeat was not due to any misplay
of his teammates, but to a home run
in the fourth, and another in the
third, the result of three clean sin
giles
The two clubs battled for two in
nings without score, and then Chi
cago set the fans wild with the first
run of the game in the third After
Schalk had gone out in this inning,
Cicotte sent a single over second
base; ]. Collins then singled to cen
ter and Cicotte was thrown out at
third by an excellent throw of Rob
ertson's; Collins went to third and
scored the first run of the game on
McMullins double TO center. E. Col
Inns then fouled, Fletcher making a
sensational catch, running from short
across the third base foul line.
Another was added by "hi;aeo in
the fourth, when Flesch drove one of
Sallee's choice fast ones to deep left
for the only home run of the game.
Chicago's lone tally came in the
fifth as the result of three hits, a
triple, double and single. McCarty
started off the inning with a triple,
and Sallee scored him with single
to right field. Burns then hit to short
and a fast double followed, Sallee be-
ing thrown out at second and Burns
at first. This ended the run-making
of the game.
~' Today's Game.
Betting picked up this afternoon on
tomorrow's game, with Chicago at the
big end of the betting. Neither man
ager would announce his choice for
the box work However, the fans eX-
pect to see Schupp on the firing line
for New York, while either Russell
or Faber will probably represent the
White SoX in the box.

Plight of the Ruble
BY EUGENE r. AGGER
Associate Professor Of Economics 4
Columbia University

Columbia University
.NNE of the interesting phe-
4 nomena Of the war in con-
nection with international
economic relations has been the rela-
tive decline in the value OF the ex-
change Of the European belllgerents
and the corresponding advance in
the exchange of neutral countries.
The normal equilibrium, supposed to
be maintained within narrow limits
through the free movement of gold,
has been completely upset. Gold
movements have been arbitrarily in
terfered with and the machinery
through which gold movements are
handled has been seriously crippled.
At one extreme we find the Russian
1uble wretchedly degraded. At the
other we encounter Scandinavian
and Spanish exchanges proudly
quoted at an unprecedented pre-
MUM, and that in terms of the very
gold on the basis of which kroner
and pesetas are supposed to be is
sued. The object Of this article is to
examine more closely the plight of
the ruble.
New-York tribune., 1917-09-03
A Stormy Career

For a long time the ruble has had
g pretty stormy career. In the
eighteenth century Russia, like most
Of the European countries, with the
notable exception of England, was
on a silver basis. The standard unit
was the silver ruble of 100 kopecks,
and it was equal in value to four
francs. In the last quarter Of the
century. however, in order to supply
the government with revenue, rather
than trade and industry with q
needed circulating medium, the gov
ernment began the issue Of paper
Iubles. Subsequent experience in
Russia was quite like that Of other
countries that have relied on the
printing press as a source of reve-
nue.. The paper money was issued in
excess and soon deprecated. After
the Napoleonic wars the paper ruble
was quoted at rs per cent discount
III silver. Later, attempts were
made to restore the metallic value Of
the ruble, but with little success,
owing TO further issues whenever
war threw extraordinary burdens on
the governments finances. Hence,
while for more than a century the
legal monetary unit remained the
silver ruble, the standard in actual
practice was the paper ruble. The
closing Of the Indian mints to silver
III 1898 and the repeal of the Sher-
man silver purchase law in the
United States in the same year so
depressed the price Of silver that the
paper ruble rapidly rose in value. II
was quoted at 81 kopecks in silver in
1892, but jumped to 105 the follow
ing year, and to 145 in 1894. Had
nothing been done to prevent 1t, this
would have meant the restoration of
the old silver standard in Russia.
But by this time the Russian gov
ernment had made up its mind to
put rubles on a gold basis, and in
July, 1893, the Russian mints were
closed to the further coinage Of
silver.
