CHICAC0'S LAST
UNTIL WAR ENDS
(By Associated rressD

CHICAGO. Sept. THE curtain
was to be lowered on baseball in Chi
cago for the duration OF the war, with
the third game OF the world series
between the Boston Red Sox and the
Chicago Cubs. who faced each other
on even terms. each team haying
scored one victory. Tonight the
teams will entrain for Boston, where
the remaining games OF the cham
pionship series will be played.
With renewed confidence over their
to l victory yesterdy, the Chicago
National league champions went in
to today's game determined to win
and Manager Fred Mitchell said he
probably would send Hendrix in to
face the Red Sox
Manager Ed Barrow and his Ameri-
can league champions were equally
confident
I'VE are determined to return to
Boston and start Mondays game with
to l edge There will be no fatal
second inning in today's game" said
Barrow
He planned TO assign Mays to the
task of turning the tide against the
Cubs.
The splendid pitching of Tyler in
yesterdays game, the sharp fielding of
his teammates and their attack on
Bullet Joe" Bush's offerings when
hits counted, made the Cubs favorites
on the baseball rialto today. This
with fair weather was expected to
bring out big crowd here.
Saturdays half holiday was expect
ed to greatly increase the attendance
The total attendance for the first two
games was 1884, which was opprox-
imately $500 more than attended the
first bame OF the series here last year
On the present basis Of attendance,
the amount of mony to be donated to
war charities probably will not ex-
coed 100000
II hoped that we would be able to
make baseball's contribution to war
charities more than $25.000," said
August Herman, chairman Of the Ma
tional Baseball Commission today.
but judging from receipts of the first
two games, 1t Is quite possible we
shall not be able to touch the sec, 1000

make up the differences"

Delegate Sulzer took up the prohi
bition question, which had been pre
cipitated into the campaign by GER
tain temperance worker, who had &C
cused him OF an endcavOr to reopen
the question through means of his
home rule measure. This. he said
was wholly untrue. In fact the home
rule bill especially provided that on
that question congress alone could
act, as 1t had been a congressional
measure which had prohibited the
liquor traffic in the territory. He said
that always had been an advocate of
prohibition, and that at the Demo
cratic convention two years ago he
had endeavOred to have the party de.
clare for prohibition, but had been
outvoted on the question. He said
that any man who attempted to re-
open the prohibition question in the
territory would meet with little sym.
pathy, as the people were heartily in
favor of prohibition.
The home rule bill was thoroughly
discussed by the speaker. and he
showed that it was the intent of the
measure to allow the people of Alaska

own affairs. SO many restrictions

you the stories of human sacrifice of
which we have heard, you would be
Mortified. On the occasion of a sac
rifice a bamboo chair was made and
4 native was tied to it and cut to
pieces.
One of the evangelists was out on a
Journey andgaye one Of the carriers
some salt to buy some meat. He was
taking a quiet walk after the sun had
set, when passing the hut, out of Gu
riosity examined the meat which they
had bought, to his horror he found it
to be a part Of a woman. This is
the darkness of h~eathenism.
But where can we find it SO darkly
portrayed as in the death of a heath
en-? A chief had sleeping sickness.
His wives left him, n by one, until
he was helpless and alone. But Of
course it would not dc for these wom-
en- to be away when he died for they
would be blamed for his death. There
were about two hundred people, men
and women, sitting outside the hut
wailing and holding their hands. The
majority of the mems wives were
dancing, with the perspiration running
down their bodies; some, however,
were lying on the ground with their
heels in the air. Inside the hut there
were twelve women frantically pull
ing him about the place, trying to
bring him back to life.
Note the contrast. A Christian
woman whose husband has sleeping
sickness. He is wasting away grad
ually month after month. It is a try
ing time for this roman but she re-
mains faithful. 1t is the light of the
gospel which dispels the darkness of
heathenfsm.

MISSIONARY NOTES

A missionary to the Congo says
there is no smile which eem SO apt
as that of light and darkness. All the
experiences seem extremes of the
blackness of heathenism or of the
light of the gospel.
The darkness of heathenismi |
wonder If we can realize what that
phrase means. Speaking, however, of
the Congo, one cannot tell all that the
darkness of heathenism means. There
are many we may tell, but, there are
infinite depths of degradation which
we cannot tell in a public meeting.
Here are some of the things which
it
Infanticide-The mother dies. There
is no n to look after the infant. The
father cannot do it and so they bury
the child with it's mother.
The desertion of the sick.-A man
falls a victim to sleeping sickness.
Perhaps he is wealthy and has all he
desires; but members leave him one
by one until he is destitute.
Neglect Of orphans-A little fellow
| came to us just a mass OF sores from
head to foot. He had been in a VII
lage where the women lying
about doing nothing, and the poor lit
tie chap could not get any one TO
cleanse his sores or help him in any
way.
Slavery slave is beaten from pill
lar to post and passed from n mas
| ter to another. A man may have from
twenty to thirty wives. A man may
take a woman among the other goods
or things which count as his money
Superstitutfon-This is SO powerful

ed refuses all food till hebecomes II
and dies.

Pershinq Is Honored.

With the American Army in France, Aug. '6.-(By The Associated Press Pershing Decorated.) - The Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor was con- ferred on General John J. Pershing, commander chief of the American expeditionary forces, today by Presi- dent Poincare in, the presence of a dis tinguished assemblage at American great headquarters. The decoration is the highest and the most distinguished of all the honors within the power of France to bestow.
 General Pershirg and Prescident Poincare drove together to the great headquarters quadrangle, where the military representatives of the allies were drawn up before a square formed of French troops. President Poincare .advanced toward General Pershing amid the blare of trumpets and while an American band played the Marseil- laiSe.
 President Kisses General.
 In making the presentation, Presi- dent Poincare said that he was de- lighted to have the honor to present the Grand Cross to the organizer and leader of Frances valiant ally. and es- pecially glad to seize this opportunity to thank General Pershing and the brave. army under his command for the l very gallant work, done in recent weeks on the battlefield. The president then stood on tiptoes and kissed the l general on both cheeks in accordance
 with the time -honored custom. General Pershing thanked President Poincare for the honor which he de-
 clared he valued as mark of friend
 ship and respect from France for the 1 American army. The two, then review ed the troops.
