PART WAY. or ALL THE WAY IN?

WI HEN Congress meets, is likely to be all stirred
w giving Uncle sam more decent, If not indeed
a more honorable standing In the great war.
We are not at with Austria, Turkey or Bulgaria
We are providing money and munitions for the killing
of Of Austrians Turks and Bugarans. No soldier OF
these nations would hesitate TO kill American soldier
should American soldiers face to face with Austrian
Turkish or Bulgarian forces there would be Tight with
out any preliminary Investigation into the diplomatic or
formal relations of the countries.
In short we are in the equivoca If not shameful posi-
tidn Of killing people with whom at peace, and It
has somewhat Of the aspect Of bloody brigandage
Very likely we lose much by IT, too Declarations OF war
upon these three nations would undoubtedly have effect
upon their morale allies Of Germany Besides how can
we sit at a peace table with worldwide democracy our

we've merely stabbed in the back with our money and

been found. Ply comparison, there was
nothing new at Cambria, because beth
the tanks and the attack without ar
tillery preparation, and even the use
Of cavalry--Which was tried by Jonre
In the Battle Of Champagne OF Septem-
Der, t9t5-were well established details
Of trench offensives.
General Byng has not discovered a
new way to break the German lines,
but he has put into operation success
fully the Oldest of all military meth
DDS He mas surprised his emmy. He
has achiJ we'd a superior concentration
n the FROM Of an undermined and
underganncd portion OF his enemy's
line without warning to his foe. BY
vrtue Of this superior concentration
he hes been able to win a shining VIC
tory It is stlll possible, although I'M
likely, that the con equences Of this
victory will be the dislocatiOn Of the
entire German front, but II IS extreme
ly unlikely that a repetition Of the
tactics viii be possible in the immedi-
ate future.
In the Battle Of Charlottesville, in
our own Civil War; Jackson massed a
large number OF troops upon an I'M
suspecting flank Of the Northern army,
fell upon it, almost destroyed IL, and
might have insured the destruction Of
Rockers army had he not been mort
ally wounded at the critical moment.
This was a surprise attack wholly
comparable to Byng's achievement at
Cambria this week.
Let us not be deceived either by
victory or defeat This war will not be
won by new devices or by single bat
ties. The greatest thing that can be
said for the British army In the pres
ent moment is that Il has been able
10 outAght the German army, 10 sur
pass the Germans In the use Of all
weapons Of contemporary warfare and
In the case Of General Byng at Cam
brai, as Of General Allenby at ARA,
this spring, has been able 10 bring Of
a surprise attack OF great proportion,
and considerable success. So far, Gen
eral Byng's achievement does not
MEASURE up to General Alenby's either
in the Importance Of the ground taken
or the number Of prisoners and guns
gathered in. At Arras Allenby took
Vimy Ridge captured twenty thousand
prisoners and more than two hundred
and ATTY guns At Cambria Byng has
advanced perhaps a mile further, but
has not surmounted any obstacles
comparable with Vimy Ridge or made
any capture Of prisoners comparing
with Allenby's.
Credit for the victory belongs with
the general; the character Of the VIC
tory holds out no promise that a new
and short way Of winning the war
has been discovered; but 1t Is one more
striking proof OF the superiority Of
British soldiers and British generals
over their enemy-a proof at least as
convincing as that given by General
Petain on the Chemin-des-Dames 4 few
weeks ago, where he took eleven thou
sand prisoners and tremendously strong
works by using the old. familiar artil-
lery preparation.

Only Two Chicago Players
Have Played in Previous
World Series; Giants Have
Eight,


NEW YORK, Sept. 90 One of the out
standing fentures OF world series history
has been the fact that almost ever con
test OF this baseball classic has deVcl-
oped one or more so-called heroes
players who have uncovered what hhs
been termed a super-man type OF RhIl'
under the stress and excitement OF tht
struggle. Certain names remain nhcd
In the memory OF the fans In connection
with specific series long after the gen
eral result and personnel Of the coinpct-
Ing clubs lfRve faded from recollection.
The pitching OF Christy Mnthewson III
the series against the Philudelphia Ath-
letcs In 1904: the heavy batting ol
Franklin Baker against the Giants In the
Philadelphia New York contests OF 1911
when he pounded out two hOmeruns nj
critical periods in the play and drove IN
five runs during the series; cannonadinS
of Hank Gowdy's bat In the Boston
Braves victory over the Athletics In the
struggle OF 1914 when the Braves catch
er startled the baseball world with his
terrific hitting that gave him An average
OF .btb and an assortment OF drives
which consisted Of one homerun; one
threebaEger; three two-basc hits and five
singles In eleven times at bat, all made
world series history.
Some Past Stars.
The same can be said OF the field play
of Harry Hooper In the famous eight
Enme series between tho Boston Amer-
csns and the New York Nationals; the
work OF ThIrdbaseman Robe OF the Chi
cago Americans In 1905 when that team
defeated the Chicago Nationals four
games out Of six; Eddie Collins remark
able showing at sccondbnse for the hth-
letics In the series Of 1910 and 1913 and
Pitcher George Wiltsv's one-innlng stand
at firstbahe for the Giants In 1913 The
list might be continued almost ndcf-
nltely " all the stars were to be given
their due.
