He did so because the Liberals were
favored by this system at the expense Of
the Centrists. 1t was Hertling who sug-
gested the idea that the present Arch
bishop Of Munich, DR.. Won Bettinger, the
Bavarian Centrist leader, DR.. Orterer, and
others hold at the vestry of the Cattle
oral of Speyer a secret conference with
J. Huber, Franz Ehrhardt and other
atheistic Social Democratic leaders to
unite the two parties at the then impend-
ing Bavarian elections against the Lib
erals, who were opposed to universal and
direct suffrage. The Socialists and Cen
trists combined defeated the Liberals and
enacted an electoral reform law. Suf-
frage became universal and direct, but
not equal, since the Centrists cheated their
fred" allies, and by shameful gerry
mander secured the majority in the House
of Deputies, although they control less
than 40 per cent of the votes.
He is a high priest Of the Kaiser's
gospel of divine right. He fought every
attempt of the Rechstag to abolish abso-
lutism still prevailing in the German
Grand Duchies of MecklenburgS chwerin
and Mecklenburg- Strelitz, and was re-
Gently the first German statesman in an
official position to oppose through his
organ, the "Bayerische Staatszeitung,
the proposal of reforming the reactionary
electoral systems of Prussia and other
federal states by an imperial law. He
showed his particularistic front, but he
acted from junker motives.
1t may safely be predicted that Hert-
ling will act strictly as Chancellor of the
Kaiser without any regard for the wishes
and interests of the peope. Without the
Italian victories even Wilhelm would not
have dared to appoint Hertling Chan
cellor. G. NJ.

The Man Who Got the
u. S. Navy Across

w ITH the news that the American
w troops on the other side are finally
and actually in the trenches comes a
thought of the man responsible for the
safe transportation of the soldiers and
marines. He is Rear Admiral Albert
Gleaves, U. S. n. In the September issue
of "Sea Power" soon after the arrival
in Europe of the Pershing contingent,
appeared the following sketch of his
career:
"Born in Knoxville, Tenn, on New Years
Day, 1853, Albert Gleaves entered the Naval
Academy at Annapolis on the 18th Of June,
1873. He was graduated in regular course
and passed successfully through the various
commissioned grades, reaching flag rank on
July 30, 1915. He has seen the navy pass
from wood TO steel, and from smoothbores
to rifed guns. In his early days an officer
had to be able to handle a vessel under sail;
to-day he must be a skilled engineer. He
served on many vessels, new ard Old among

A. 3. CIVILIZATIONS
BATTLE TO A TIE

In one of the best games played
here this season the A. B. C!S of In
dianapolis and the Affiliations battled
to a thinning draw yesterday after
noon at Association Park. When dark
ness ended the contest the score stood
5-5. The combat was also nip and
tuck. First one club would go into
the lead and then the other. The In
dianapolis lads held the lead for six
innings. They scored two runs in the
opening stanza, one in the third and
another in the fifth. The Affiliations
didn't dent home plate until the third
round, when one tally was made. in
the sixth they tied the score by SHOW
ing across three runs. The ALMA
tions made their fifth and final u in
the eighth inning, while the A. B. CTS
knotting counter came in the first half
of the ninth.
From the ninth inning until the
twelfth, neither team got a man as far
as third base. Flanagan, pitching for
the Wilkinson-Gaul combination, and
Johnson, hurting for the visitors, both
heaved in grand style and neither was
in danger. Benjamin Taylor was a
hitting rampage and connected safely
four times out of six tries. All his
blows were good for one base. Blukoi's
batting and that of Mendez's were the
main factors in the Affiliations run
getting. Blukoi hit a home run with
a runner on and tripled with a team
mate on. Several sensational catches
and plays were made by both teams.
The teams will play the second game
of the series this afternoon at 8 o'clock
and each team will have it's star fling
