FIGHT rs ABOUT OVER
BY H c. HAMILTONl

IUnited Press STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 21-The White
Sox and Red Sox are now going to
start to have it all out. The Red
Sox probably will see the end OF their
pennant hopes in the series that be-
gins today in Boston and ends Mon
day. Three games are scheduled.
Clarence Rowland's men probably
will have to face Dutch Leonard to-
day, for with Babe Ruth eliminated
by pitching yesterday, Leonard be-
comes the logical choice.
BY dropping one game to the
Tigers the hope of the Red sox be-
came very unfavorabie. They now
can play only twelve games of their
schedule. By winning all OF them
they could finish with a percent of
.631. Two more victories by the
White Sox would clinch the flag. A
loss by the Red sox while the White
Sox were winning would be almost
disastrous.
The Giants are having hard time
getting Strengthened out on their road
to fame. The Pirates stopped them
dead and now they've got to double
up In twin bill. They still need
the same three games that were
lacking in Chicago before they can
foreclose the mortgage they've been
claiming upon the pennant.

My mind and my heart this even

sympathy-for the men who are stay

Some have been rejected as not
fit for fighting in France, not up to

you men who were chosen to defend
America and the democracy Of the
world. Some of us are too old to be
soldiers. It is we men who Do not go

to whom sympathy should be given.
We will do our bit here at home, but
the glory and the power will go to
you who fight with guns.
"All history sings in unison poems
Of praise to the soldier. The soldiers
Of the Revolution are still crowned
with honor after nearly century and
a half, as witness the proper pride of
their decedants. After the war of 1872,
only General Jackson and the soldiers
and sailors are In the school his
tories. After the Mexican war, It was
General Scott and his men, and OBJ
livion for those who stayed at home.
For a generation after the war be-
tween the states, the offices OF public
trust and the honors Of nation were
given only to the veteran soldier, and
nothing but sneers to the men who
stayed at home.
This world war is immensely big
ger than any other war in which we
ever engaged. It will last almost as
long as our civil war. Those who fight
it under the Stars and Stripes will be
heroes of the nation, the honored
for a half century to come. Those OF
US who do not 60 out to fight for
America In this death struggle be-
tween autocracy and democracy are
doomed to constantly explain for the

Back In 70 we fought for our lib
erty, and again in 1872 we came out
victorious and maintained our inde-
pendence, and again in 81 the most
horrible Of all the wars, that was
fought that the Union might be pre-

Alonzo Drain, one of the leading col
ored citizens Of our city
Alonzo Drain declared that the col
ored man would always be loyal to his
country and to his flag.
"The history of this nation" he
said, rs saturated With the blood OF
the black man. He fought with Perry
on Lake Erie, with Jackson at New
Orleans, through the bloody battles OF
the civil war, at Ell Caney In Cuba,
and down in Mexico.
1.-THE black man has always stood
by the flag and VIII as long as there
is flag, and IL that flag goes down
he will go down with it..
when the presid ent called out the
strength of this country last June, mil
lions were registered for service. and
In that multitude, every tenth man
was a black man.
"The colored citizens Of Keokuk
stand ready to shoulder their shan.
Of the burdens OF the war and will
do it with an accomplishing heart.
All that the black man asks is a
chance. He has proven his loyalty to
the flag and the country and has es-
tablished his citizenship"

are slow to go to war but when we
are once In, we stick to the end.
There will be no kaisers or cars left
when this war Is over"
Mr.. Irwin then addressed q few
words to the drafted men. telling them
not to be downhearted, that the war,
bad as it is, was mot gong to be
slaughter. He painted the bright
side and said, that Just as after the
civil war, for fifty years hence, the
presidents, the statesmen, the gener-
ais and legislators will be selected
from those who served in the war, cit
ing the cases of Mckinley, Miles and
others from the civil conflict.
You are the advance guard OF mil

same way as you do and who Will
soon follow you.
Prussia is writing the same his
tory she wrote in the ninth and tenth
centuries. The way in which she is
conducting the war is as old as the
hills. She Is doing everything as mean
and atrocious as did Attila the Hun
in his day. There is no need OF her
denying this, because we have the
proof We are fighting the kaiser and
the system of which he Is the head.

to bid brother and friend goodbye IN
time of war, but these are experiences
to which we never grow accustom ed
and tonight the pulse of the Oldest Is
beating as rapidly as that of the
youngest and we are stirred alike with
the desire to do our part as our coun-
try calls us, even as these young men
are ready to do their part.
Never has our country needed the
loyalty and devotion Of her people as
now.
Never in the history OF the world
has a people felt as kindly toward
other peoples and races as the people
of the United States today feel to-
ward all mankind.
Never has war been so foreign to
our desiressand thought as now. Prob
abby a nation has never gone to war
with SO littl efeeling of hatred for the
enemy as we now hold for our enemy.
Our whole desire is for peace and
1t 1s overwhelming and consuming
and we go to war not that we may
have conquest, but that we may have
peace and for that peace we are ready
to pay a terrible price.
No man, woman or child here will
escape having part In the payment
Of that price.
II was asked to speak to you to-
night as representing the bankers OF
Keokuk. Let me say to you that al
ready we have sons in the service of
our country and others of our sons
stand ready to respond when their
turns come and we who are too old to
go to the front are ready to do our
full share in money, in service and In
sacrifice as the calls come to us.
Our hearts are sad as we gather
here to bid you goodbye and God
speed. In you lies our hope for f,l-
ture safety and peace and we feel to-
night that our confidence will not be
misplaced and that you are going to
do, and, if necessary, to die for your
country and for us.
May the God of battles watch, over
you and keep you and in good time
bring you back to us in safety and in
honor"
