Germany Continuing to
Make Overtures to
Belligerents
Viewpoint Abroad
Is Not That of u. S.
Nations Acting Like Poker
Players in Game of
Peace Making
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Oct 25.-The war broke
suddenly and caught the British ma
ton unprepared. Peace may come sud-
denly, but it won't catch the British
mapping.
The recent resounding speeches de-
elaring against peace, pacihsm, Bolo-
ism and q lot Of other isms must be
read in the light Of events as they ex-
i.t to-day in Europe, not on the basis
Of conditions as they are in America
after six months preparation for war
Europe's viewpoint is not that Of
America, and it is we'll that Americans
should appreciate it
venture no peace prophecies, but
simply record facts and rumors as they
come In. First, there are lot Of peo-
pie going 70 be disappointed il there is
not an arnistice by next April.
Second, Germany, through various
representstives-frequently neutrals-
is now maintaining consistent over
lures to the various Allied belligerents.
In several cases practically straight
efers have been made, but generally
tbs gesture is made through a third
party.
Offers Originate With Teutons.
1t Is significant that every offer has
originated with the Central Powers.
Third, every person who supports
the idea Of an armistice in the spring
bases his belief on the supposition
that BY that time America will have
become a considerable military factor
and that the Germans are too good
business people 20 elect TO continue the
war without Offering terms which will
be acceptable TO the Allies.
Though peace is the one subject up
permost in the minds Of all Europe, il
is studicusly avoided, much on the
principle Of the poker player who
guards a full house or a bob-tailed
straight with the same idiotic empty
expression. Peace making and poker
playing hold a lot in common.
There is not a question that the En-
tente Allies expected TO win salts
factory peace in 1917 and laid their
plans accordingly. Peace has been post
poned for a number of reasons, the
chief of which is the collapse of Rus
STA as a military factor and the entry

Marine Rockies Break
Tent Pitching Record

Although young men training to be-
come soldiers Of the sea at Port Royal,
s. c., are being rushed through their
courses rapidly, they retain efficiency
throughout, as is shown by the record
for making and breaking camp estab-
lished by a company of marine rockies
at this station. The routine calls for
pitching shelter tents, digging in
trenchments, mounting guard, cooking
dinner, inspection, the gathering of
equipment and preparation for return.
They accomplished the required task
in 81 minutes. The previous record
was held by a company of veterans
now serving in Hsyti. Their time was
551s minutes.

Only One French Ship
Sunk in Last Week
Four Other Vessels Attacked
Unsuccessfully by Subma-
rines, Is Paris Report

PARIS, Oct. 25.-Only one French
vessel was sunk by a submarine or
mine during the week ended October
q. The vessel lost measured under
1000 tons. Four vessels were at
tackled unsuccessfully by submarines
The above record compares with one
vessel sunk in the larger class and
one in the smaller for the previous
week; three large and two small YES
sells, besides six fishing boats, in the
week ended October 7, and FIVE large
and five small vessels, besides six fish
ing craft, in the week ended Septem-
Der 30.
To-day's French sinking list is there
fore the smallest for some time. IL
would seem to indicate that no con-
clusion regarding increased danger
from the German U-boats is to be
drawn from the British report. of II
large and 8 small vessels sank, for the
same period, although the British losf
is larger than it has been for many
weeks

HAL CHASE And SPEAKER
ARE EFACING OPPOSITION
Last Years Batting Kings Must Pick
Up to Set Pace.
By JACK VEIOCK

New York, May lO.-Tris Speaker and
Hal Chase, 1916 batting champions in the
American and National Leagues, are, fac
ing sturdy opposition this year. Today's
averages show that both of last years
batting kings must pick up considerably
II they hope to set the pace.
Up to today Speaker has been leading
the American League, but his failure to
score a single hit in two games Wednes-
day pulled him out Of the lead and en-
abled George Sisler and Jack McInnis
to forge ahead of him.
In the National League Chase Is not
in the running as yet. Eddie Rousch,
George Burns and Gavvy Cravath are
the pacemakers. Rousch, who hit .429
in his first twelve games, is still out with
injuries. Burns is trailing Rousch with
an average of .373, and Cravath is hitting
:s64
Fielder Jones contention that George
Sisler will make strong bid for the
batting honors in the American League
Is holding good so far. sis" is hitting
.4o5. McInnis trails the st. Louis star
with .3S2 and Speaker ranks third with
.373, thirteen points under the figure at
which he finished the 1916 season.

NATIONALSLOSE FIRST
OF Series TO INDIANS
Grifmen outhit Fohls Clan. but the
Old Punch Is Lacking.
nv JOHN nGGANA
By JOHN A. DUGAN.

Cleveland. May 10.-Harry Harper. the
Hackensack junkman, and DIR. Wyatt
Yancey Ayers laid plans for an Indian
parade in the opening inning Of the hrst
game here today, and Lee Fohfs red
skin tribe gathered enough counters In
this session to pack the old pastime be-
yond the Nationals reach. The score
was to 8.
This lanky Jersey junk dealer made his
second bow Of the season to the Ameri-
can League fans, but after pitching TO
two batters the "Old Fox" issued him
the shower call, as he had been a trife
too generous and gave free transporta-
ton TO Graney and Chapman. Ayers. Of
HillviIle fame. was hustled in from the
bull-pen to face the mighty Spoke"
Speaker. The Doctor completed the hand
started by Harper and made II three Of
a kind by passing W Iris. Bobby Roth
put the Indians in the running by polling
one to left field which scored two run
ners. and when "Wop" Guisto connected
safely, the sixth City tribe had enough
runs to allow Fred Coumbe to register
his first victory over the Griffmen.
The "Old Fox" made a desperate at
tempt to land the verdict. and used six
teen players in the fray. TEX" Gallis
relieved Ayers of the uphill burden in
the fifth, and allowed but one safe blow
ing OF the. bat of Ray Chapman in the
eighth, when he arrived safe on a
scratchy bingle over Gharrity's head.
The Nationals outhit the Fohl tribe, but
the necessary punch was lacking when
safe blows meant runs. Morgan started
the run getting for the Griffmen by
slamming out a two-base knock in the
frst and moved to third when Speaker
overthrow second base. Foster proved
easy for Coumbe, but Milan connected
for drive TO right field which scored
the watch-charm second sacker.
In the third inning Doc Ayres surprised
himself by crashing out single and
went all the way to third base when
Morgan hit safely down the right field
line While Chapman was doubling up
Morgan and Foster. Ayers crossed the
counting block. A great effort was made
in the ninth to grab the game out of
the FIRE, but the Nationals fell one run
short. With one down. Charity was
given a base on balls and Judge was
placed on the bag to run for him. Walter
johnson. batting for Mcbride, singled to
left Judge moving to the mid-station.
John Henry followed with a smash TO
left field and Judge registered while
Menoskey who was running for John
son. halted at second. Elmer Smith then
batted for Gallia and advanced both run
ners by grounding out, Wamby to Guis-
to. Ray Morgan ended all chances by
hitting a weak grounder to Bagby. who
went to the relief OF Coumbe after Smith
was retired. The score:
