Opportunity Afforded by Revolt
in Navy and Army.
Socialists, Under Fire, Say It's
Government Frameup.
HAD NO PART IN SEDITION
Five Warships Witnessed Riot
Gus Scenes of Mutiny.
DiSaffectiOn Noted in Army, but
No Violent Outbreak.

London, Oct 11.-Having faced
what was esta ablished to day as wide
spread revolt in the navy and with
mutterings of discontent in the army,
the German military machine was ex-
pected by observers here to seek Grad
ication cf all opposing elements by
new iron hand methods.
News of reichstag sessions of the
next few days will be eagerly awaited
here. Belief was expressed in some
quarters that German militarists
would seize the opportunity afforded
by their preliminary suppression of
revolt to sweep away all radicals.
The Independent Socialists. of the
type of Liebknecht, Ledbour and
Haase. have always been thorns in
the side of the pan-Germans. Lieb-
knecht was removed by imposition of
a long term of Imprisonment because
he circulated petitions for stoppage of
the war. That was several months
ago. His work of internationalism
was taken up by LedbOur, Haase and
a small minority group of Socialists.
government. Now the government re-
taliates by seeking to connect them
with the naval revolt.
The fact that the German censors
passed the news of the naval rebellion
was taken here as evidence that the
HllllldTlStS nave managed again TO gam
complete ascendancy and that they
we're seeking an excuse for even more
rigorous measures against popular
rule.
Suppressed With Great Difficulty.
The first outbreak of the uprising
in the navy occurred about September
l. according to Holland dispatches to-
day. 1t was at Wilhelmshaven. The
movement was widespread and organ
lied and was suppressed only with
the greatest difficulties
At least four battleships were af-
fected, fifth Joined later. The Ger
man censor passed one dispatch as
serting that the direct cause of the
revolt was inadequate and poor food.
Other dispatches received here to-
day indicated that some slight disaf-
fection Fas been noted in various
army units but apparently there have
been no direct outbreaks
Just how many naval mutineerS had
been executed and imprisoned was not
revealed in any German dispatches
today. Only three were apparently
executed on the kaiser's own personal
orders at Wilhelmshaven. How many
were shot down in the fighting which
marked the capture of one of vessels
from the mutineers. was not made
known.

New York won two.
The score of today's game was; New

As has been the case in every game
since the start of the series, the Giants
began their effective drive in the
fourth inning. Bennie Kauff, the ex-
Fed star. who has been the butt for
much ridicule since the start OF the
series and who had not gotten sim

fireworks Not a single hit had been

The ex-Fed landed solidly on the ball

the fifth inning when he crossed the
plate on Schupp's single after having
gotten the right of the paths by beat

sky in the fifth when the Giants filled
the bases, getting four safe hits.
However. Rariden hit into a double
play and Holke was thrown out at
the plate trying to score after Rob
ertson on Schupp's single.
The Giants put the game on ice in
the last of the seventh when Fletcher
crossed the home plate with the third
run. Fletcher got on with scratch
hit. went to third on a wild pitch and
scored on Rariden's out at first Fa-
ber was far from his best, seeming to
let down after Kauffs homer in the
fourth and he was III much trouble
most of the time Schupp, on the
other hand tightened as the game
progressed Faber was taken out in
the eighth inning to allow a pinch
hitter to bat for him and SanfOrth

Manager Rowland.
Bennfe Kauff, the chesty, became a
candidate for a new sized hat when he
poled out his second home run OF
the game in the eighth inning, scor-
ing a runner ahead of him. Kauff
has redeemed himself and the boys in
the press box have decreed that he can
wear as many different suits of clothes
as he desires tomorrow without pro-
test from them.
