flags. Many French and American
officers. civilian officials and women
were present.
In his presentation speech the mayor
referred to the splendid sacrifices OF
the women Of France and America who
were not only sending away their sons
to fight for democracy, but were max
ing the war possible by their energetic
work at home.
Accepting the flag General Pershing
said:
"This occasion brings home the
tenderness with which our own WOMEN
bade us goodbye. This war Is being
fought by women. 1t Is women who
suffer and lend courage to us. Women
are the ones to whom honor Is due
when the war Is over.'
General Pershing thanked many Of
the women personally before returning
to his headquarters. A granite tablet
was placed in the wall of the Hotel de
Vile today with an inscription In gold
letters commemorating the establish
ment Of the American headquarters In
the land In September.

Polo Grounds, NE" 1OrK, oCt ID
The Chicago White Sox today faced the
New York Giants in what may be the
decisive battle Of the worlds series.
The defeat Of the Giants today would
win for the White Sox the seasons
baseball honors, while win for the
Giants would give them an equal
chance with the Sox in the game to-
morrow.
1--WE must win today" said Manager
McGraw,s "and we can do 1T. The Sox
have the edge. 1t is true. in that they
can lose today and be at evens for the
seventh contest"
p, Manager McGraw wheeled his two
left handlers into line. Schupp and Ben
ton, and awaited the last moment be-
fore making his decision which one
would open fire on the Sox.
Urban Faber looked the likely pitch
ing selection Of Manager Rowland.
Should the Sox lose today Eddie Cicotte
will be on the rubber tomorrow to stop
the Giants with his knuckle ball.
Showery Weather Cuts Attendance.
A balmy morning turned showery to-
ward game time. A smoky Southwestern
came in unexpectedly and the early
crowd-a small one for series con-
test-covered their heads and shoul-
ders with newspapers and waited. The
playing field was fast, mats and tar
paulins having only been removed lit
tie before noon. The ground keeper
said the field could stand a fair soak
ing and still be in playing condition.
The Giants took long batting practice,
trying the ranges off the right hand
shoots of Al Baird and Swigler. Then
Jeff Tesreau worked his moist delivery
against the Giants that they might get
their batting eyes in shape to gauge
Fabers' shoots. Benton and Schupp
took their turns in batting. The Chi
cago fans behind the visitors bench
welcomed the Sox as they walked on
the field with rounds Of applause which
was punctured by jeers from the
Giants supporters.
Benton and Faber Chosen.
The sox faced Melvin Wolfgang in
batting practice. The left handler, Dan
forth, later tossed up a few curves for
the Sox to feed on. The batting order:

Washington, Oct. 16.-Aroused by
publication in some parts Of the country
Of private cablegrams announcing ar
rival Of American troops in France,
the war and navy departments today
took steps to preevnt repetition Of in
cldents which may result in court
martial of the officers who sent the
messages.
In one case former national guard
officer wired his governor Of the ar
rival Of the states troops, but SO far
as is known here newspapers Of that
locality observed the governments
voluntary censorship and did not print
the cable. ..
In the other case, however, former
national guard officer telegraphed the
governor Of his safe of the arrival Of
his regiment with tho request that it
be given the fullest publicity.
Arrival Published.
The Governors officials gave out
the cablegram and many newspapers
in that state printed the news. This
morning many other papers printed
the dispatches, mentioning the NUM-
Der and location Of the regiment.
The war. department has most ur-
gently requested that 4nethiaEs what
eve. be rrintAd about the arrival Of
the troops abroad promising to report
promptly any casualties. Friends who
know that troops have sailed and
hearing nothing of them may assume
that they arrived safely.
All troops abroad now are under the
federal government and no longer are
under state control. BY reason Of this
fact the government can exercise what
the war departmet regards as O. neces-
sary censorship over news Of their
rnavementa
