There are many vacant lots and
small pieces Of ground in Hick-

In this great contest. all depends
upon our battery, the army and navy.
But our pitcher-Pershing-cannotw win
the game without support If the out
fielders are asleep and the first base
man fumbles the ball, we cannot win.
THE only thing that can save us
from this disaster Is by furnishing the
financial backing. Our army and navy
cannot fight with efficiency without
equipment
The sreatest campaign the country
has ever known is now in progress
to sell $4,000 900 Of Liberty Bonds.
"As we prepare ourselves for the
last days of the campaign we appeal
to all editors to treat the worlds war
the great American business Of today
with the same enthusiasm and dis
play as was accorded the worlds base

GERMAN SITUATION Is ACUTE
People Want Peace, According to
American Official,

An Atlantic Port, Oct. 15.-After
four years spent in the center of Eu-
ropes colossal struggle, Pleasant A.
Stovall, United States minister to
Switzerland, on his arrival, declared
the economic situation In Germany
was critical, and that he believed the
backbone of German resistance was
broken. Since the publication of Pres
ident Wilson's reply to Pope Bene-
diets peace proposals, in which the
President stated that the United
States is warning on the German gov
ernment and not upon the Germtn
people, the reyulsion against the war,
Mr. Stoyall said, had been spreading
rapidly through Germany.
THE effect of this statement was
for a long time not noticeable he
asserted, but slowly and surely II is
sinking deeper and deeper into the
German heart If left to themselves,
the German people would make peace
tomorrow"

London, Oct 15.-In the resignation
OF Admiral Won Cappelle. the German
Socialists have won a big victory over
the government, and the pan-German-

is hardly too much to predict that the
fall of the minister of marine will be
shortly followed by the resignation of
Chancellor Michaelis, who has sup
ported Won Cappelle In his efforts
to strengthen the hand of the war par
ty against the extreme Socialists.
Result OF Naval Mutiny.
The resignation of Won Cappelle ap-
parently is directly a result of his re-
cent revelations of mutiny in the Ger
man navy The minister made use
of these revelations TO crush the rad
ical Socialists, charging that three of
their leaders-Haase. Dittmann and
vogtherr-had conspircd to foment the
mutinous plots among the sailors. In
this strategy he was supported by
Chancellor Michaelis and Helferich.
Result Not Expected.
The immediate result of Won Cap
pelle's disclosures and charges against
the independent Socialists was exactly
the contrary to what he had looked
for. Ii healed at one stroke the spAt
within the Socialist party and present
led a solid front to the government.
II won for the Socialists the support
of tie Catholic centrum, which holds
the balance of power in the Reichstag,
ard also Of the National Liberals, and
brought a speedy declaration of var
on Michaelis from Scheidemann and
his followers.
