Schupp, Sallee and Benton, the Giants winning pitchers, are being relied on! for the heavy york in the worlds series, if the Giants partici- pate in that exciting event, which seems very likely. However, baseball chickens have too frequently been counted before they were matched, so let's wait and see.
 The leading batsmen of the National league are Roush, Hornsby, Cruise, Kauff, Groh and Hefnie Zimmerman. The star pill walloper in the Ameri- can league are Ty Cobb, Sisler and Speaker, with Cobb leading the race, of course.
 Chuck Ward, the Pirates shortstop, and one of the best players of that position in the National league, re- gently passed his physical exajmina- ton arid will soon sign up for the big gome in France with the national army.

PRESIDENT FLAWS PACIFISTS
Denounces Activity of Organizations
Working Against Government.

Washington-In a letter to Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, President Wilson
states in unmistakable terms, the rea-
sons why the United States is at
war.
He denuonces those who seek to ig-
more Americans grievance against
Germany.
Hearty approval of the conference
of the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy held in Minneapolis
Tuesday the task it has undertaken
to suppress disloyalty, was given in
the presidents letter.
Activity of pacifist organizations has
wrung from the president the follow
ing scorching words:
1T has not been a matter of surprise
to me that the leaders in certain
groups have sought to ignore our
grievances against the men who have
equally misled the German people.
Their insistence that a nation whose
rights have been grossly violated,
whose citizens have been foully muir
dered under their own flag, whose
neighbors have been invited to join in
making conquest of its territory, whose
patience i'll pressing the claims of
justice and humanity has been met
with the most shameful policy of tru-
culence and treachery, their insistence
that a nation so outraged does not
know its own mind. that it has no
comprehensive reason for defending
itself, or Of joining with all its might
in maintaining a free future for itself,
is of piece with their deafness to the
often repeated statement of our ma
tional purposes"

a large number of the German people

Secretary Lansing said it was as
sumed that within reasonable time
newspapers of the European neutrals
would carry the note to Germany II

other way would be found.
1t was recalled that the president
war message was dropped behind the
German lines by hundreds of Allied

NEGRO TROOPS AT CAMP CUSTER
Coored Men From Michigan and Wis
consin to Form Reeiment-Negro
Officers in Command.

Battle Creek-Drafted soldiers as
signed TO Camp Custer will be card
indexed and thus kept track of until
discharged from the army.
This is new war department plan,
each man being required to fill out a
card naming his nearest relative. his
previous industrial position, religious
preferences, etc.
Each regiment will have ten statisti-
cal clerks and two assistants to aid a
division staff of half dozen experts
TO compile these records.
Mayor NJ ]. Wilson, Washington,
after inspecting the camp last week.
Says it is fully abreast of other can
tonments under construction. Water
has already been turned in the 30
miles of mains at camp.
So many men are now here that the
first increment of 1900 drafted men
is scarcely noticed. Porter brothers,
contractors, alone have 1000 on their
payroll
1t is now admitted that Camp Gus
ter will have a Negro regiment, but
it will be Michigan and Wisconsin Ne
groes. Negro officers are promised
instead OF white men.

in compliance with decision handed
down by the district appeal board,
after an opinion had been received
from Acknowledgement John S. Bersey
in the case Of Alfred Benjamin, Sew
enth Day Adventist. His plea that the
tenets of his creed should exempt him
from war service was denied by local
board No. A.
This ruling does not necessarily
mean that Benjamin and others like
him are to be ordered to the trenches
to shoot Germans. II merely signifies
that some service, useful To the gov
eminent in war and not repugnant TO
their religious beliefs, will be found
for all directors who prove their good
faith. Meantime, they will be required
to undergo training at army canton
ments. Their assignment to service
will be determined later by the mill
tary authorities.
"If the party furnishes in all respects
the proof required, and substantiates
his claim, in your opinion, he should
be certified for service accordingly"

James o. Murfin, of the district board,

STOCKMEN FORM ASSOCIATION
All Livestock Buyers in State Asked
to Join Organization.

Lansing-With the formation of the
Livestock Buyers in Jackson an invi-
tation was extended to all stock buy
ing associations of the state to join
the organization.
The. federation is the outgrowth Of
the Cooperative Livestock Shipping
Association of Southern Michigan.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, E. A. Dunton, Coldwater;
vice president, l.. c. Kelly, Charlotte;
secretary-treasurer, G. j. Miller, Union
City.
A resolution was adopted protesting
against the unrestricted limitation of
the sale of veal calves, as urged by
the government. With the high prices
demanded for feed that has cut down
cattle production enormously, the buy
ers say there are fewer hogs and few
er sheep in southern Michigan than
there were a year ago.
The association went on record as
opposing the establishment of a uni
form insurance rate for cattle in tran
sit and it was decided to leave this
matter to each association in the fixing
of insurance rates.
A plan whereby each association can
standardize it's shipping brand was
adopted and a resolution was adopted
recommending the re-establishment
of the stop-over privilege in the ship
ping of stock
There are about 40 stock buyers
associations in the state which are
asked to join the new organization,
which also plans to affiliate with the
national association.

FOUR GERMAN TRAVELLERS LOST
British Destroy Teuton Ships Engaged
in Mine Sweeping.

Copenhagen-A naval engagement
occurred Saturday between British and
German mosquito craft off Nyminde
Cab. west coast of Jutland. British
destroyers attacked four German
armed trawlers and drove them
ashore. All four trawlers seem to
have been destroyed.
A Rinkiobing newspaper says the
British continued to lombard the traw-
lers after they grounded, completing
their destruction.
About 100 German seamen were
landed, many severely wounded. Med
ical assistance was sent from Rinkiob-
ing, the nearest large town.
The German craft were presumably
engaged in patrolling and mine sweep
ing to clear the rout for German sub
marines.

GUARDS HIT BY HoMESICKNESS
Many Leave Camp Without Securing
Permission to Go.

Lansing -Homesickness is attacking
many of the Michigan brigade sta
toned at Grayling. One result is the
number of men who are absent with
out leave and another is the food of
applications for leave. Every excuse
has been brought forward to obtain
time off.
In civil life most of the men were
accustomed TO quitting their jobs
when they felt like it. Now that they
are under military rules there is no
quitting, but there does not seem to
be clear realization of this and daily
men take a chance. run away, see
their folk and then return to take
whatever punishment is given them.
AS familiarity breeds contempt, so
proximity of blood relatives engenders
sentiment. if one may judge by the
number of "sobs" letters that are
reaching the Michigan chaplains daily,
leading them to coincide with staff
officers in the decision the farther
from home soldiers are stationed, the
better the discipline in companies.
While in home armories officers Of
the two regiments now at Grayling
were beseiged by mothers and in some
cases fathers. who desired to secure
the discharge of sons. Instead of the
personal appeal the plea for reunion
is now made by mail, and the officers
of the brigade are looking forward
with pleasure to the time when the
troops will have entered upon their
training schedule at Waco

CHILD LABOR LAW INVALID
Federal Judge Rules Congress Cannot
Regulate Labor Laws of States.

Greensboro, N. C.-Federal Judge
B Boyd. of the western district of
North Carolina held the Heating Owen
child labor law unconstitutional and
enjoined the United States district at
torney, William C. Hammer, and his
successors, assistants, deputies and
agents." from enforcing in the district
the provisions of the act of congress
which became effective September 1.
The case came before the court
on Injunction proceedings brought in
the name of Roland II. Dagenhart and
his minor sons, Reuben and John, of
Charlotte, who sought to restrain a
Charlotte cotton mill company from
discharging the two boys.
Judge Boyd said he was gratified
by the candor of Professor Thomas l..
Parkinson, of Columbia university,
representing the department of Justice,
who asserted that congress had used
its power over interstate commerce
for the object of regulation of local
conditions within the state and the dis
enlargement of child labor This adj
mission, said the judge, left the issue
clear and brought forward the ques-
ton:
Can congress do by indirection that
which it undoubtedly cannot do direct
ly?"
Congress" he said, can regulate
trade among the states, but not the
internal conditions of labor"
The case will be taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States at
once.
