have men enough to do it.
1--WE have sent splendid expedtionary force for
moral effect to the battle fields Of France Thousands
have gone and thousands going every week. and the
gallant Pershing will soon have magnificent army Of
moral effect and of magnificent effectiveness cheer
French and English allies in the Armageddon of Euro
pean supremacy.
''But while England has half million slackers hid
ing in America who easily be forced to the 'front.' it
neither necessary right that the flower our young
American manhood should be sent sacrcial offer
ing to the Red Moloch of Slaughter, while England has
enough to fight her battles for many month
ahead
"Locate the English slackers Let the same splen-
did vigilance that does not allow single American to
shirk his duty to it that Engishman shall play
traitor to his country soil.
"Send England, Americas splendid gift of help
funess first of all the half million Engishmen who belong
in her ranks of heroes.
"Then let Canada have conscription as we have had
it here for Canada's and Englands cause. Let
Australia have conscripton America has. Let New
Zealand have it, oo and when all these units gathered
together, with England's slackers here grand
sembly of Engands full strength and valor and these
have done their BEST other Engshmen doing
magnificenty with General Haig it will be time say
that England has done her best and failed and that she
called to America, Help persh!'
''In that one hour the legions Of American youth
training in forty camps will know neither towards
laggards in superb and irresistible response the
allied need.
''But until that time America is not called in honor
duty to send her beardess boys the sea
be sacrificed for England's cause"
We do not agree with the Examiner in calling this
''Engands and Canada s cause.' It is that but
it is not Engands Canada cause alone but the
cause of civilization But for Englands having made it
her cause and Canada and France where would this
try be today? Nor do agree with the idea that Eng
land must first do all that she can and then Canada and
then Australia and then New Zealand After they have
tried and failed says the Examiner, will respond
That the very idea that has prolonged the already

England must do all that she possibly can and the dis

at and sent to the front But must not hang
back because others shrkers and cowards and thus
give Germany the advantage of taking her opponents
one at time. England and Canada and Australia and
New Zealand and America must ALL strike with all their
force at once and thus crush the Dragon Of Auocracy
that has been turned loose liberty-loving world
But to the cry Round up the English slackers!'' we
do add fervent 'Amen

DeMaggio was the star putout man
of Sundays game. He grabbed every
thing that came his way and when
the totals were added he was cred
tied with eight putouts. Some OF
them were pretty doggone hard ones,
too.
Tobin was there with his fine stick
work Sunday and was credited with
two hits. His fielding was a feature
too, especially on one long fly when
he made spectacular catch of fly
in left center
Hosp and Forsythe decorated the
bench last Sunday There's some
decorators too.
Is it possible that Delhi is not try
ing to pitch? Looked that way last
Sunday. Either he is not trying or
else his baseball days are numbered
Extra! Extra! Umpire Anderson
went through a game without nearly
getting his bean knocked off. Is it
possible the boys have forgotten how
to crab or has Anderson sharpened
his eyesight?
Leverett had mighty good support
last Sunday, and that was what saved
the day for him.
The way Tonneman runs bases
makes one wonder why he doesn't
take the f1ivver to the games with
him. He could crank it and then get
to first base before he could run it.
Bromley thinks he is regular star
since he had his picture in the paper.
It's too bad they cannot find
scorer in Hayden who understands
how to mark hits and errors. Brom-
ley got the credit for two hits last
week when Smith should have been
credited with two errors. Too bad.
Don't weaken, folks, Ray is doomed
to win ball game pretty soon, AMI
when they start, lookout
That fellow Butler of the Smelter
team is the sure going kid. Seems
like he has all the luck.
Sorey got away nicely in his open
ing game at short but failed to reg
lister at bat Perhaps he left his bat
ting eye up north. Better send for
it, boy.

better than Forsythe has been lately.
"Spot" McMurdo is always looking

PRESIDENT BROWN
 GIVES HIGH PRAISE
 ID FAIR SECRETARY

Officials of the Alabama State Fair association announce that the fair just concluded was the most successful from every standpoint financial and other wise, held in many years. The auditor has just completed his work and will make report to the fair association in few days, and it is understood the balance will be on the right side of the ledger for the first time in several years.
 President R, A. Brown and the other officials are much gratified at the re- suit and in this connection MT Brown stated last night that while he was not unmindful of the splendid work done by the other officials he thought that q full measure of praise was due Secretary James l.. Dent for the success of the fair.
 T can hardly find words to express my appreciation of the splendid work Of MT. Dent" said President Brown. and I do not hesitate to say that he is the biggest asset the fair association has had in sometime. In the first place, he knows the game and he also knows how to play it. By this I mean that Mr. Dent is thoroughly conversant with the inside and outside details of big ex- position and knows by experience how to handle them. His tact, patience and perseverance in dealing with the thou sands of patrons and hundreds of exhibi- tors, his firmness in handling working force, his masterly leading of the vari- ous big events were about the biggest factors in bringing the fair to such a successful conclusion. I again repeat that MT. Dent is not only an asset to the fair association but to the city and state at large"

American Sailors on Duty
 Overseas Want Band at
 Their Base on Shore

Base American Floti1la in British Waters, October 1.-(Correspondence. Uncle Sams sailors here are asking for brass band. They want it to play tine national anthem morning and evening at the raising and lowering of the colors just as they used to hear it back home. About the only time that they have heard the "StarSpansled Banner" since their arrival in these waters was when it was played on the chimes of the cathedral here. They may not even again hear it played there because the organist who knows how has just been conscripted into tie naval branch of the British military machine.
 The American bluejacket is intensely patriotic. So is his new-found com rade, the British tar. But the latter is reminded of his patriotism more often than the American bluejacket because God Save the King" is played at the close of every theatrical performance or public function. The American stands at attention and salutes on oc- casions like these. He says he would like to do the same thing to the star Spangled Banner" but he seldom gets the chance.
 The banner" which is the brief way the sailor has of naming. the American anthem is played now and again in the United States Naval Mems clubhouse here by the combined string orchestra from the two tenders or
 mother ships here. But this is not enough. and besides, the sailors hold
 that nothing but brass band can do justice to the national air and fire
 him with the proper enthusiasm. l Almost every evening here groups of these youthful sailormen walk along the beach singing. Two of their favorites are Don't Bite the Hand | That's Feeding You" and America, l
 Love You" And they never forget ! ''Tipperary." which still is popular alike with British tars and American sailors.

British War Office Goes Into the Moving Picture
 Business in Indirect Way

London. october 1.-(Correspond. ence.)-To it's thousand and one ac- tivities the British war office has now added the ownership and management of a British film business. The entire control of the issue of what is known to the moving picture world as the tropical budget' has passed into the hands of the army council for the dura tion of the war.
 By the unwritten law of Whitehall. the war office cannot Ego into busi- ness" so the difficulty of owning and controlling this film business was obviated by the appointment of com mittee of practical men, responsible to the war office.
 The idea of putting out official top ical pictures twice a week illustrat- ing the various happenings on the fronts and incidents in this country connected with the war came from France, where the government decided sometime ago regularly to issue films from the front as a means of keeping public interest steady in the progress of the war and stimulating public support for it's prosecution.
 Starting as strictly national sur vey of wars doings, the war office topical budget has blossomed quickly into an international concern by q system of interchange with the allies, so that now it presents to the Britiss. public scenes from every front on which the allies are fighting, except the Russian.
 British pictures will be distributed through the war office to France, Italy, Portugal and all over the Brit ish empire, as well as to the Cnitei States. Neutral countries, too. are to be organized for the distribution of these same pictures and in return cer+ tain pictures from neutral countries; will be sent here for distribution through the British Isles
 The official film photographs will not confine their work to the front They are also to take pictures of all national events. naval military nr otherwise, happening anywhere in ths British Isles.

Porto Rico's Crop Value
 Is Placed at $4,OOO,OOO

San Juan, Porto Rico, October 1-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) The first crop census ever taken in Porto Rico shows that small food crops valued at $A,0oo,000 to the planters had been raised up to September l. The crops in- cluded red and white beans. frijoles, batatas (sNeet potatoes, yautias, yuca and yams.
 The large yield of beans has stopped all imports of that vegetable, one of the chief items of the Porto Rico diet, and for the first time has permitted the island to export rather than import this food More than 100000 pounds of beans had been exported up to septem- Der. The corn crop also is the largest ever produced and the harvest has been so plentiful as to have reduced the inn portation of corn and considerably checked the importation of cornmeal.
 The production of food crops for home consumtion is due to 8 very large degree the work of the food commission m stimulating interest in the growing of minor crops and impressing on the island the necessity to feed itself. Through the commission 15 tons of seed for plant
 ing have been distributed.
 Members of the food commission believe the island is capable of producing possi- MY AOai StO OpS ~ year tQustt to illc CTOpS during the past few weeks. 1t is be- lieved that beans, at ieast will grow the year round and that crop can be planted and brought to maturity inside of six or seven weeks. Vegetables and possibly other grain crops can be plant ed, at every season, it Is believed.
 The work of the agriculture commit tee of the food commission has to large degree been made possible by the assistance of the extension service of the United States department of agriculture, of which H. c. Henricksen is in charge in Porto Rico. and by the employment of a large number of agricultural agents who have been put in charge of specilic districts of the island under the super. vision of travelling inspectors.
 Since September this field service has been reorganized and the work in ;he future is expected to show even better results than obtained durng the first two months and d half or the new work.

Marriage by Proxy for
 Benefit of Soldiers Is
 Discussed in England

London, October 1.--(By Mail) The question, should marriage by proxy be legalized in Great Britain for the special benefit of men at the front now is being discussed at great length in the newspapers. France has already made this wartime concession and the Australian government has called a conference of churchmen and others to consider the adoption of q proxy form of marriage between Aus. tralians at the front and women in Australia.
 While soldiers from England gem erally have a chance of returning on leave for the purpose of marriage, there are frequently difficulties in the way and marriage by proxy would probably be frequently employed if the laws permitted, especially in the case of a man severely wounded or strick- en with serious illness at the front
