CABLES TO SOLDIERS CHEAP
Wire Company Announces Greatly
Reduced Rates.
BY BUD FISHER


Wives, sisters, mothers or other
relatives Of Tulsa soldiers on the bat
tlefront in France will be able to
cable them thru the Western Union at
a rate OF cents a word, Manager
r. w. Dulin. Of the local office Of
that company, stated yesterday.
He has received notice from tho
Western Union headquarters In, New
York that this company has arranged
to send cablegrams to American SOL
diers at the front at this greatly re-
duccd rate. 1t Is purely a patriotic
service on the part OF the Western
Union. said Manager Dulin. for tho
rate to soldiers is actually less than
cost Of sending the messages The
regular commercial rate Is "a cents.
III such cablegrams will be sent
direct to the New York office and
thence cabled TO London. whence they
will be forwarded to France by post.
All messages will be subject to gov
ernment censorship, Of course, but the
government Is In hearty accord with
the efforts Of the Western Union and
has given It its endorsement
The messages must be sent in care
Of the American expeditionary force
at London, and must state the regi-
ment and corps in which the soldier
is serving. The government has per-
mitted and will permit every soldier
who goes over to inform his relatives
of his location and how to address
him.

ITALY UNIFIED BY NEW
DANGER FROM WITHOUT
Party Differences Wiped Out +;
Morale of Entire Nation
Greatly Strengthened.

ROME. Monday, oct. 29+The
wiping out of party differences and
the strengthening of Italy's morale in
the face Of the present military effort
by the Austro- German coalition is ex-
emplified In the statement issued by
two OF the political parties. the Cath
olics and the official Socialists. No
party sentiment must be recognized
in this time of trial, these statements
declare.
One effect Of the participation of
German troops In the offensive has
been the elimination of the few re-
naming syinpathizers with Germany,
together with the arouslng Of the
fighting spirit to a marked degree
among Italians in general
General Cadorna's bulletins are
causing the nation to realize that II is
facing q severe trial, but the press
reflects a spirit of determination on
the part Of the people that the loss
of the fruits OF victory won in the past
shall be but temporary.
The enemy's rapid gains Of the past
six days are regarded to having been
due not so much to superior force us
to the element of surprise.
According to the Giornale d'Italia
no decisive battle has yet been fought,
altho one is expected to develop. Such
a battle. It Is predicted, will be on a
large scale and involve wide move
lrents In the open field in the old
fashioned style.
The Italian retreat, according to the
Messaggero, Is being accomplished In
good order. with the artillery saved or
destroyed and stores and magazines
burned.

In the first place. as the team was

that Mckoy could not make the trip

could not wait. Stegall was prohibited
from going on account of uns,ttisfnc

Both Chicago and New York

ATHLETICS ERRATlC BUNCH
Only Aggregation to Make
More Than 800 Errors;
Leave Most on Bases.

NEW YORK. oct. 30.-The records
of the sixteen major league clubs

sent some unusual and interesting
features. While these statistics are
not based upon the official league
averages they conform closely to the
puthetic percentages and for the
purposes of comparison are thorolv
reliable being compiled, In many cases
from the official box scores.
The records show that the Chicago
American League club. winner of the
world championship series led th'
Junior organization In both the num-
Der OF games won and the total num-
ber of runs scored. In no other de-
rartment did the White SoX hold the
Ircmier position altho the average OF
the team WAS very high. Boston
PLAYED the greatest number of games
during the season due to five tic con-
tests. Detroit. which finished fourth,
led I'm hlttinE while the Boston lie
Sox hcll the opposing teams to th'
lowest number Of runs.
Athletics Waste Energies.
The figures also give clear ms 'ght
into the loose play of the PhiladolphlI
Athletics. who finished In last place.
The MNCkmct scored mex To lHt lui
gest total OF runs being but thirty
three behind the Chicago club in this
respect and but twentV-three hits
short OF the Detroit record which en-
atled the Tigers 10 win first place In
this department Of the game. As nm
offset TO this excellent Cffensc. how
ever. the Athletics showed the poores:
defensive play Of any club in the
American league. The Philadelphia
team made the largest number Of er'
rors; had the greatest number Of run
ners left on the bases aud their op-
poncnts scored more runs against the
team than against any other club on
the circuit.
In the National league the New

and losers of the world series played
the most games, completing their full

that East Central has a good chance
of taking this game. II East Central
can defeat Central and Central de-
fcats Northea stern, the status OF the
