Extraordinary precautions have been
taken to prevent spectators reaping
any harvest on the seats. President

AUTONOMY LONG DEMANDED.

Finnish culture is not the same as
Russian, and all but successful efforts
have several times been made to OBJ
tain nearly complete autonomy for
Finland from the Russian czars.
The Petrograd absolutists at least
recognized in principle that Finland
was entitled to elf-government; and
the new democracy in Russia cannot
repudiate the logical extension of this
principle.
1t is not reasonable to believe an in
dependent Finland would be but the
beginning of Russian disintegration
An independent Poland would certainly
follow, at the end of the war. but else
where there is little vital impetus be-
hind the separatist movement.

Chicago Americans Go to

Giants Not Playing Winning
Ball an dChicagoans Can

BY HI. G. HAMILTON,

Aboard the White Sox Special, Oct 8.
Post mortems and anticipations held
the spotlight of attention on board
these 10 cars of fans and ball players
today. Every turn of the train wheels
found new agile to the star spangled
world series.
Eddie Collins and Clarence Rowland
were the centers of a continual buzz
OF conversatfon But there was only one
theory and there were no arguments
in the minds of these White Sox. They
say there can be but one end to the
battle started in Chicago: that the
White Sox are the next champions of
the world; that the White Sox pos
sess this confidence for one prime rea :
son-the Giants are not playing win
ming baseball.
CITE CASE OF BURNS.
For instance, they picked out George
Burns as a basis of comparison with
other members of the New York club.
Burns was the only man on the New
York club to get base on balls He
was the only player figuring from the
White Sox viewpoint who batted
smartly.
The others were hitting with the
count three and two or three and one.
Faber. the Chicag goans, declare, didn't
nave even usual control. Proper bat
ting methods would have had Faber
worrying, perhaps so much he would
have gone up.
The United Press today obtained an
interview with Red Faber. the White
Sox hurler, who stole third base when
that bag was already occupied.
FABER EXPLAINS IT.
You see it was like this" Faber
said. This guy Perritt starts to wind
up and me on second base Now, |
am not much of a base runner but
there's no man in the National league
that can ignore me on the bases and
get away with it.
! gets mad about it and forgot Buck
WeaVer's on third. l gets on my mark
and steps and I leave it to you il |
didn't have that base swiped."
Ask what Weaver and Kid Gleason
had to say about 1t, Faber declared he
heard from no one but Gleason, and.
said Faber, Il never heard such a beau
tiful flow Of names in my life"

NoRWAY-sWEoEN PRECEDENT.

neighborhood precedent for peace
full separation occurred in 1906, when
Sweden agreed to recognize the full
independence of Norway. If the Firms
desire to become sovereign nation,
there is no more reason why they
should be forced to continue linked to
Russia than there formerly was for a
continuation of the Swedish Norweg-
ian union.
Dissolution of all ties binding Fin
land and Russia would not mean a
defeat for the Russian revolution, but
rather a victory, wholly consistent
with the aims for which the United
states entered the war. A harmon
ious agreement between the Firms and
the Russians leading to the recogni-
tion of Finnish sovereigns might well
give strong impetus to the movement
for the freedom of small nationalities

New York, Oct. S.-The independ-
ence of Finland will probably be the
first result of large constructive i'm
portance of the Russian revolution.
Events are now occurring in Finland
that indicate a determination on the
part of the inhabitants to establish full
sovereignty for themselves.
If formal demand is made upon the
Russian government to recognize Fin
lands freedom, the Kerensky cabinet
would be compelled to agree or would
endanger the consistency of its own
democratic policies. If minority and
not majority of the Firms desired
separation from Russia there would be
ground for objection at Petrograd, but
not otherwise.

Washington.-Td sinking of tho Cunardcr Laconia by a German suo- marine was said officially to constitute clear-cut violation of American rights.
 Conclusive official information at the State Department shows that two American women lost their lives and that if four ether Americans among the passengers aud the Ii among the crew were saved, il was only by good fortune and that the vessel was sunk without warning in defiance of all the principles for which the United States has stood.
 Consul Frost's report from the sur yivors landed at Queenstown and Ban fry show that the vessel was struck by first torpedo without warning at 1o:20 Sunday night, 150 miles off Fast net The engine was stopped as the ship listed to starboard. wireless calls were flashed broadcast and six large rockets were sent up. Thirteen boats with passengers and crew got away and scattered over two or three miles to prevent collision in a high sea roll ing in 12 feet swells
 About 20 minutes after the first tor pedo was fired and while some of the boats were still near by second tor 9edo was driven into the vessel. which sank three-quarters of an hour after the original attack. The small boats pitched about during the long hours of the night until rescue came. Dur. ing this time the two American wo- men. Mrs. Mary F.

But concerning the MorganS and their friends, he did abandon his habitual reticence. "Rustlers, thieves. robbers, coiners, outlawS." he exclaimed ener- getically.
