EMPIRES E P

In view of the keen interSectiOnal interest which will surround the coming World Series between the New York Nationals and the Chica- go Americans the records of the in ter-league contests of the past as sume unusual prominence. Although so-called World Series were played as far back as 1884, it was not un- til 1905 that the National Cimmis- mission took charge of and promul- gated rules for the annual Autumn climax of the baseball season.
 Since that year the winning clubs in the American and National Leagues have met each October to decide, in a series of the best four games out of seven, which team should be entitled to the champion ship honors of the professional base ball world for the ensuing twelve months. Of the past twelve series tory, the American League stand ard bearing clubs have won seven and their National League rivals five.
 During these series sixty-six games have been played giving an average of five and a half games per series including tie contests of which there have been two. In games won the American League leads with thirty-three to the Ma tionals thirty-one while of the 445 runs scored the National League clubs have accounted for 223 to the Americans 222. To Philadel- phia falls the honor of being repre- sented in more series by pennant winning clubs than any other city on eight major league circuit. Out

Miss Rankin Calls for Re-
port of McAdoo Com
mittee Findings.

Miss Jeanette Rankin, Representa-
tive from Montana, proposes TO Sc
cure action upon the charges she has
fled relating to conditions at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
She has requested Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo to furnish her with
a copy OF the special report made
by the investigating committee of
Treasury employees, and last night
stated that she had not abandoned
her plan to air the matter on the
floor Of the House.
As announced in The Herald a
fortnight ago. the findings of the COM
mittee contain no recommendations
and they have been before the Sec
retary OF the Treasury about three
weeks without any action being taken.
If the report proves unsatisfactory
TO Miss Rankin she proposes TO seek
the appointment of a Congressional
committee, basipg her claim upon
material she has gathered regard
ing conditions at the Bureau.
Miss Rankin announced that her
resolution favoring the government
ownership of the Anaconda copper
mines as a war necessity will be given
a hearing by the committee. She is
preparing her material for presenta-
ton before her colleagues and when
her evidence is ready a date will be
assigned for the hearing.

FIRST Line TRENCHES
DON'T Awe MURDOCH
Like a Brooklyn Sunday Morning
Saws Kansan.

According to Victor Murdock,
former Congressman from Kansas,
and now a member OF the Federal
Trade Commission. the impression
one gets from an inspection OF the
front line trenches 'over there re-
sembles a quiet Sunday morning in
Brooklyn.
Accompanied by the noted italian
historian, Ferrero. the former Pro-
gressive leader of the House, re-
Gently made tour of the first line
trenches in France and Flanders. He
is the first civilian to be allowed TO
make such a visit to no man S
land"
THE first line is disappointing, in
a fashion. After n man has been
there a few days, he gets used to
his surroundings and feels an as
tonishing sense of security. The
quietness in the front line was
overpOwcring. and it is one of the
soIemnest places in the world. Nis-
itors receive the idea of complete
security when occupying positions
in these advance works. and as for
a sense of fear-there is none
These impressions the kansasan
gathered, he said in an interview
last night.
Referring to the fighting. he
said: There seems to be an un-
derstanding between the two sides
that the soldiers of both forces
must be careful. because if some
thing is started somebody may get
hurt. But when the guns begin to
boom and the firing becomes intense
and you're getting ready to go
over then, well-Sherman said II.

AS NURSES IN WAR

of Needs of Profession.

No better example of the vital share
| in the war which women are assum-
| ing can be found than the Quietly
| expanding work of the nursing pro-
| fession. according to DR.. Franklin
| II. Martin. of the Advisory Commits
sion of the Council of National De-

THE function of the nurse in mod
ern war is by no means confined TO
surgical work at the front" DR..
! Martin said yesterday.
Three committees of the Council
of National Defense are studying the
general nursing problem in three dis
tinct fields. and are advising and as
sisting the Red Cross. the Public
Health Service and other interested
branches of the government. The re-
sponse they are getting from all parts
of the country has been most definite,
and material progress in interesting
women in the work is being made.
The three committees are the commit
tee on nursing of the general medi-
cal board of the council. the sub
committee on public health nursing
of the committee on hygiene and SAM
alton of the general medical board,
and the committee on home nursing of
the section on sanitation, n part of

which has been conducted by the
three committees has reached 1,5OO
superintendents of nurses. the grad
yates of nursing schools of the class
of 1917. the secretaries of local boards
OF education. about 5000, 1917 grad
yates of women's and co-eduCational

of the graduates of high schools and
private schools of recent classes, all
the public health nursing agencies of
the country and the superintendents of
hosritals on the accredited list of the

PANHANDLE VISITOR
WRITES ode To CITY
Mrs. Alexander Shield. After Long
Motor Trip. Inspired by Capital.

After travelling over the United
States from the panhandle district
Of Texas, where their home Is to
the uttermost northern parts, Mr.. and
Mrs. Alexander Shield, of Amarillo,
Texas, have come to the conclusion
that the National Capital is the queen
city of America"
In appreciation of the three happy
months they have spent here, Mrs.
Shield last night wrote the following
poem which was inspired through her
attraction for the District.
Washington to thee 1 bid adieu,
With reluctance I take my leave OF
you.
You were laid out by an inspired
hand
Then God smiled and approved the
plan
OF Washington. the Capital of our
land.
I love your streets of generous proper
tions,
II only provided with some locomo-
ton
Besides the feet would be a treat
To view each circle, park and street.
I hore that on some future day
II providence provides. l come your
way,
The street cars. II allowed to run
Will have eight good wheels instead
of one.
And also hope as a suffragette
That the people without regard TO
sex,
VIII have a say and the power to
sway
The government Of Washington, in the
proper way.
