Comiskey Park, Chicago. Oct. 13.-
Fighting around with steel heart that
belongs to a warrior. the White Sox
scrapped their way back into a lead
over the Giants in their battD for the
worlds baseball championship here
this afternoon. The final score, to 8.
does not begin TO tell the story of ona
of the most sensational rallies In the
annals of worlds series history
Slim Sallee. who was the victim Of
the Sox in the first game a week ago
today fell again. Reb Russell tried to
start for the Sox but he evidently waa
too cold and gave way to Eddie Cicotte.
The little grizEled hero of the Ameri-
can leaguer's fight gave way to Will
liams and Faber finished the game.
sTRAoETicAL VICTORY.
1t was a stragetical victory in every
sense of the word for the sSox. And
to game heart must be given great
credit. 1t seemed they were beaten
when the seventh inning opened, for
they had displayed the most. ragged
fielding and Sallee seemed an easy
winner. Two runs had been scored
by tho Sox previous TO this session.
The first one came in the third on a
base on balls to John Collins and a
double by Felsch. In the sixth inning
singles by Weaver and Schalk, fol-
lowed by Risbers's safe drive, gave
them another. Clever Ray Schalk was
responsible for the runs that tied the
game. With one man out In the sew
enth Jackson and Felsch singled and
on Gandil's double to center, both tai
lied. Weaver was thrown out and
Gandil took third.
Then Scalk drew a base on balls.

from Herzog.

BLAMED FOR MUTINY.
The direct cause of Won Capelles re-
tirement was undoubtedly his reich
stag revelations of the German naval
mutiny. The naval chief was blamed
first for permitting conditions to exist
In the navy under which such a mutiny
could grow and, secondly. he came for
the radicals displeasure when he join
ed what appar entity the liberal elements
in Germany have begun to realize was
an attempt at a coup to bolster up
Michaels' fight for Vice Chancellor
Helfferich.
The greatest interest was manifest
here today in why the German reich
stag's adjournment period was length
ened so much beyond the usual re-
cess period. The German parliament
adjourned Thursday not to meet again
until Dec. 5. II was believed here that
Chancellor Michaelis realized his fail
ing grip on the Majority and put over
long recess period to postpone a
showdown and his possible fall
EVIDENCES OF FAILURE.
Other evidences have been trickling
out of Germany of late indicating
gradual realization by the public that
the failure of the submarine warfare
despite the glowingly optimistic state
ments OF government heads. One rea-
son for the open outbreak at Will
elmshaven, according to one report
was the naval policy of forcing sailors
to work in submarines. One Holland
dispatch asserted that number of
sailors who refused this hazardous
duty had been severely punished. That
this spirit OF mutiny Is still prevalent
was indicated in another report of the
execution OF four or five men, for the
same reason.
Heavily increased pay. special leaves
OF absence, and special food when
ashore, all offered for submarine duty,
have failed of, their attractions for the
U-boat crews.
The kaiser is not expected back In
Berlin until the latter part of October
and some German dispatches indicated
that Won Capelle's resignation as well
as the future OF Chancellor Michaelis
would not be decided until then.

Immense Mobilization i'm New
Brunswick for Sailing.

St John. Feb. 2S.-Canada is MAX

prominent part in the great allied Of
fensive on the western front this
spring. Thousan ds of troops have
arrived in New Brunswick within the
last few weeks for final training be
fore embarking at Halifax, N S, for
England.
The housing and feeding of these
troops has proved quite problem,
but is being met successfully and mas
brought increased business prosperity
to the province.
Major General Lessard, inspector
general for eastern Canada, has been
here supervising the work of mobili-
zation. He recently was quoted as
saying that 100000 additional men
would be needed with in the next few
months to offset possible casualties
in the spring offensive and to keep
the Canadian divisions at full
strength.
Pulpit Appeals for Soldiers.
Among the troops ordered here is
the 19Sth battalion, commanded by
Lieut. Col. John A. Cooper, former
editor of the Canadian Courier. The
presence of large numbers of troops
has stimulated recruiting. Since the
provincial election the work of en-
listment has been taken up with in
creased vigor and a close competition
has developed among the different
units. Churches have opened their
doors to recruiting parties and ap-
peals from the pulpit and altar for

Officers and men alike express
confidence that the war is approach

MAY SHUT DOWN
North Topeka Mill Can't Get
Cars to Handle Business.
Railroads Blamed for Not Keep
ing Pace With Emergency.

The present tieup in the freight
traffic of the country has assumed
critical proportions for the milling in
dustry of North Topeka. The short
age of cars is the most extreme since
the beginning of the war. The mills
DO not know one day whether they
can remain in operation the next Al
present, it is stated, they depend for
their supply of cars for shipping on
the few they can collect from day to
day by the most strenuous hunting.
The whole difficulty lies the in
ability to obtain rolling stock of Il
sort suitable for the shipment of
grain. Formerly there was an agree
ment between the eastern and the
western roads that for every freight
car sent east. another would be re-
turned to the western lines. But the
present need for cars is so great that
when cars go east, the roads hold and
use them for their own overtaxed
in the lurch and can't help them
selves. To protect their business
some of them have issued an order
that no freight car belonging to il
shall leave its lines. The Union Pa
cific has such a rule.
Cars Are Warehouses.
In the east, shippers whose grain is
tied up by the paralysis in ocean
trade, use the cars for storage pur-
poses, letting them stand idle on the
tracks till shipment by water is pos
sible. Whatever the cause, when d
car goes east it is a long wait for the
owner before it goes west again, and
in the meantime his patrons business
IS in daily peril of strangulation.
The roads are open to the charge,
a prominent miller stated that they
have not manufactured freight cars
in the last few years in quantities
sufficient to keep pace with the in
crease in volume of the countrys bust
ness. Many cars to the casual scru-
tiny appear in good condition when in
reality they are unfit for use in the
transportation of cereals and perish
able food products. One seldom sees
a new freight car on the tracks, tho
the L. p. promises to have 1000 new

Saws Indigestion Results from
an Excess of HydrOchlOric
Acid.

I-ndigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather. ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
saws a noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning, there is an eX-
cess of hydro chloric acid in the
stomach which prevents complete dl-
gestion and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in a
can, forming acrid fluids anc gases
which initiate the stomach like a toy
balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, water-brash or nau-
sea.
He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing and further

phosphate. This harmless salts is
used by thousands of people for stom-
ach trouble with excellent results
