Spirit of Germans on Western
Front Seems Shaken
BEATEN DOWN BY YESTERDAYS UNEXPECTED RUSH, THEY
HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPT TO COME BACK
ASSOCIATED Press)

The British are entrenched on the
crest of most of the high ground of
the famous Ypres salient, in a posi-
tion TO throw shells down hill at the
Germans IL Uney essay a difficult last
counter-attack up the hill. From the
captured village of Broodseinde the
British can lombard the Roulers-
Menin railroad, which is the princi-
pal communication line of the Ger
mans in the Ypres section.
Yesterdays tremendous well organ
lied attack evidently took the Ger
mans by surprise for they had mass
ed troops for an attack themselves.
These were caught in barrage fire
and those spared from this inferno
were annihilated by the British troops
following the barrage. Besides the
ground lost, German casualties were
heavy and more than 5000 prisoners
were taken The German resistance
did not seem strong against the
clock-like precision of the forward
rush by the British German con-
crete redoubts bristling with machine
guns gave the most trouble.
The lack of German activity last
night was further evidence of the
shock of yesterdays battle to them.
They kept up heavy artillery fire
last night but did not deliver single
counter-attack. The British are busy
consolidating their new positions.
The French are busy with surprise
attacks of the Germans, particularly
in the Champagne region and upper
Alsace, which gained the Germans
nothing. Artillery activity is report
ed northeast of Verdun. where the
Germans recently too ka bit of French
territory.

the steel net was plainly visible drawn
up on the station ship. It looked to
be about II to 18 feet across. The
strands of steel wire were very heavy
about one-eighth inch and the mesh
rather open, as a submarine is such
large game that fine net is not need
ed to take it. 1t was seen, too, that
each of the station ships had its own
armor of steel nets. Long iron rods
extended from the upper decks, from
which hung the nets, making a cur
tain of steel entirely circling each
boat, thus protecting it from attack
while it remained in charge of the
nets. Each ship, too, it was noted,
had a rapid-fire gun mounted fore and
aft.
One line of these nets stretched
from the upper end of the island OF
Corfu over to the mainland of AL
bania. 1t seemed endless, and its fur
ther reaches were lost in the distance
Another line swung around the har-
Dor of Corfu, where the allied war
ships are gathered and the govern
ment of Serbia is located since it was
driven from home. Further south a
third line of these nets extends from
the southernment point of the island
over to the mainland. Back of the
nets could be seen the huge warships
and the frowning fortresses con.
structed on the heights by the Ven.
etians. 1t seemed strange that
strands of steel could protect such
fortresses and monster ships, and il
indicated to what extent wire entan
glement-on land and water-ha:
taken its place for the first time il
this war.

STRINGING THE SEA
WITH STEEL

Corfu Correspondence of the As
sociated Press Travel in the east
ern Mediterranean during these war
days is no easy matter, for the usual
routes of travel are now barred by
long lines of steel nets, set to catch
submarines but at the same time es-
a vast labyrinth of danger
and obstruction for any sort of travel.
The nets stretch clear across the
main channels, from island to island,
and from the shore islands to the
mainland, sometimes ten and fifteen
miles away. Through these nets the
privileged steamer-for all the regu-
lar lines are abandoned-must pick
its way, during the brief interval that
an opening is made daily to permit
the passage of friendly shipping.
Seen from the deck of the steamer,
these torpedo nets stretch away for
miles. The visible part above water
consists of steel cylinders, about II
feet long and three feet in diameter,
like good-sized log. These are chain
ed together about 80 feet apart, and
at intervals of every 800 feet large
anchored buoy holds the chain in an
unbroken straight line. Thus the
chain runs for cylinders and
buoys-with the meshes of the steel
net hanging under water from the
chain, to gather in submarines just
as fishermen make their hauls of her
ring.
One gets occasional glimpses OF
this underwater net, as it comes to
the surface on the station ships. These
are small trawlers, or steam fish
launches, every mile or two apart, and
two of them are at either side of the
= narrow passage admitting friendly
ships. 1t is their business to raise
the net at stated intervals, and to
look over the papers of the ships that
pass.

STRONG MEN ON EACH SIDE

New York, Oct. 5.-When the Chi
cago Americans and the New York
Nationals, respective winners of their
league championships, meet in the
opening game of the 1917 World Ser
les at Comiskey Park, Chicago, to-
morrow, the contest will bring togeth-
er teams, of virtually equal offensive
and defensive strength. So far as it
is possible to ascertain in advance
there is little if any advantage in
favor of one or the other combina-
tion. An analysis of the work of the
individual players and the teams as
units shows that if there is a pref
erence in one division this margin of
strength is counterbalanced by the
opponents edge in another depart
ment of the play.
Both the White Sox and the Giants
are clubs of unusual calibre with bril-
liant young players holding down GER
tain positions while older and veteran
professionals, scattered throughout
the combinations, steady the teams
and give that touch of experience
necessary to perfect any machine. If
there is any outstanding advantage
which will count in the contests of the
next few days it may be that the pre-
ponderance of players who have TAX
en- part in previous World Series will
favor the New York Giants Even
this is problematical, however, for
the history of this baseball classic is
not wanting in examples where
youthful players, unnoted by fame,
have proved the stars and deciding
factory in the battle for the inter
league championship.
From every angle of comparison
the conclusion is reached that the SER
les about to begin will prove one of
the most exciting and closely fought
since those contests were taken in
charge by the National Commission
in 1905 and made an annual climax to
the baseball season. A study of the
records of the players and the teams
in their respective leagues develops
the fact that so far as figures and
| averages can disclose there is little
margin of advantage for battle, the
statistics show that the Giants are a
trifie stronger in hitting while the
White Sox have few points the bet
ter of the fielding. The National
League standard bearers appear to
have the edge in double plays but the
Chicago combination offsets this with
more stolen bases indicating greater
speed upon the baselines.
1t is one of the axioms of World
Series play that the winning of the
first game carries greater weight
than the mere numerical value of vic
tory and for this reason it is Gus
tomary for the managers of the rival
teams to send their best pitcher to the
mound in order to gain the lead and
have the same twirler available for
the third, fifth, even seventh game
j should the occasion arise. For this
reason the general expectation is that
Manager Rowland will select Cicotte
to face the Giants while Manager Nc.
Graw will depend upon Schupp.
Both these twirlers are among
the star pitchers of their leagues
with remarkable records for the pen.
