FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCKS BROKE VIOLENTLY.

New York. Sept. 9.-StocKs broke almost violently in the latter part of todays session, the early and inter mediate periods having been char acterized 1l unusual dulIness and important price changes.
 The decline which extended from 2 to points among the more popular speculative favorites, lacked explan- ation, although the setback was CO., incident with the publication of the crop report as of September 1.
 As a matter of fact. the report was far from adverse, except as it related to the outlook for corn, which indicat- ed further severe deterioration over the showing of the previous month
 Grains and other important cereals were quite as good. if not decidedly better than the estimates of the pre- ceding month, the outlook as a whole indicating vast improvement over the August forecasts.
 Students of market conditions were disposed to offer other reasons for the precipitate decline. Today's session marked the inauguration of the new Stock Exchange regulation requiring members to make daily reports of their bank loans.
 This rule is expected to reduce the activities of pools and cliques, as vel as numerous individual spectators whose activities recently have been | the cause of adverse criticism.
 As the markets barometer. U. S Steel was subjected to the heaviest selling at a1 extreme decline of 3 Is ] points, only fraction of which was regained. Other industriaG and high grade rails yielded easily. the closing bringing few feeble rallies. Sales were 335,000 shares.
 International bonds, notably French l n1unicipals, were firm, but Liberty 1 3 1-2's and other domestic issues yield ed variably. Total sales, par value were $6,775,Goo.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged or call.

hand to supply. Babe was sweating, but game. He put over good one for Flack. who tapped it to McInnis for an unasdsted putout, while the other runners held to their bases McCabe was put in to run for Hen came up. Hollocher hit sharply to second, but was thrown out. Killifer scoring in the melee. Leslie Mann then tied up the game with sharp single to left, which scored McCabe. Fred Thomas ended the agony by throwing out Paskert at first on slow rolling bounder.
 Boston went into its half of the eighth full of. venom at having to win the game all over again. Fer the first time in the series they found a right handler facing them in the box, Doug las replacing Tyler. Schang., batting for Agnew, lost no time in demon strating that the Red Sox. were out for blood. He soaked a single to cen ter and on a short passed ball, sped to second. Captain Hooper was at bat and he laid down crafty bunt, which Douglas heaved wildly in the general direction of Merkle, By the time the ball was recovered Schang was home with the winning run and Hooper was perched on second. Shean.
 Strunk and Whiteman made tame ending of the inning.
 The swan song of the Cubs in the last inning was a heart-breaker. Ruth had attained even greater ~'ldness. Merkle, the first man up, singled af- ter Babe threatened to pass him. Fill ing his cup of woe, Ruth then passed | zeider. There apparently was no limit to his passes. and Manager Bar row, feeling the humiliation as much as the big pitcher himself. called Babe from the box and sent in Bullet Joe Bush. As Ruths heavy artillery
 might still be badly needed, however, he was not eXiled, but was sent to left field in place of Whiteman. | It was tough place for Bush. but
 he refused to be rattled and every i halI had a zip to it. StcInnis con ducted a one man patrol of No Mans | Land in the vicinity of the pitchers s box and called the turn magnifcently or Wortmans attempted hunt. Toss | ing the ball to Thomas. he headed off Merkle. Barber, the next man up, hit line drive. It was moving ia st,
 but Scott was on the move, too. With another of his incomparable one-hand lscoops. he started one of those light hing double plays, Shean to Mclnnis,
 which killed off the game rally of the hard dying Cubs.
 ' The weather for the opening game l i nthe east was inauspicious in the
 morning, but in the afternoon it cleared off, although a cold north
 wind gave a touch of October atnos phere to the game. Predictions of a capacity crowd were
 not fulfilled, as there were only 22.OO0
 present. The roofing, however. was fully up to the world series standard and the applause was very sports

measures to compel the tire-buying public to make the available supply of tires go as far as possible. But if the war, continues for several more years, pneumatic tires are going to become continually scarcer, and it will be necessary for tire users to give some real thought to the conservation of our tire supply-otherwise a good per centage of cars may in time be laid up for lack of tire equipment
 So the time to begin the practice of conserving tires is right now, while we have the tires. And in carrying out this program the possibilities of repairing tires as an aid in tire con- i servation are looming up bigger than
 ever. Careful driving, frequent in- 1 spection, maintenance of proper air
 pressures, filling of tread cuts, etc., are all important in securing food mileage. But a certain number of l tires are bound to be injured and others will be misused. In the future, 1 instead of casting these tires aside as
 useless, a tire saver, a built-in repair
 or a retread will have 70 put them back into service.
 1 At the eleventh annual mid summer | convention of the allied cycle trades, a i central body known as the Cycle Trade i Association of America was formed,
 which will represent the industry be-
 fore the United States Chamber of
 Commerce and the War Industries Board and cooperate with them in war time activities. H. $. Quine, President of the Motorcycle and AL lied Trades Association, ehampioped the amalgamation resolution on the floor of the convention and was named one of a committee to perfect the
 working machinery of the new associa-
 tion. In his speech convention he de- clared that the time had now come for real action on the part of the cycle industry-that the big thing
 ahead was to win the war, with every
 thing subordinated to this end. The
 war had completely changed condi-
 tions and the industry must adjust it. self to the situation as it is, standing
 ready to make any sacrifice to help the government in it's great crisis. The
 resolution was unanimously adopted and subscribed to by every manufac-
 turer represented.

NO FOOTBALL TEAM
 FOR WINDHAM HIGH

NSp6Cldl lO The ln.) Willimantic, Sept. g. - Windham High school will have no football team this year. as at meeting of the men who reported for the team Monday afternoon at the school voted against the school being represented this year 1 on the gridiron, 12 to 10. There will be basketball and track team though.
 l Twenty-two men reported at the meeting of candidates for the team | Monday afternoon in the assembly hall. Most of these men were light, l and new to the game. As to last years men, there were only four, the | two Staebners, Clifford and Adams. 1 Sumner this years captain. will en- l ter Exeter. Principal Case addressed the men, explaining the situation. and the, preceding vote was taken. Mana | ger Paulhus will cancel the following schedule:

 The proposed alumnae game would probably have been impossible, for most of the men are in the service. It Is very probable that basketball practice will be started soon, so that a crackeriack team may me formed 1 Last years varsity men now in schoo include Captain Lamoureux, Norton Cornell, and Curran. The team may
 be lighter than formerly, but extra practice would make it much faster
 A track team is' Rlso possible, as Principal Case said that some sort o1 | athletics should be encouraged. A track team would include more men than a basketball team. At least

Declares He is Able to Ap-
prove of Presidents Four
New Points.

Amsterdam, July 16.-Baron Won
Burian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign
minister, in a note addressed to the
Austrian and Hungarian premiers, Is
quoted in a dispatch from Vienna as
saying:
There Is hardly any differences be-
tween the general principles enunci-
ated by the statesmen OF both bel
%ligerents. President Wilson'S four
from certain exaggerations, arouse
Dur opposition"
Continuing, the Observation-Disclosures
minister said: -
THE enemy's obstinacy regarding
his territorial demands concerning
Alsace-Lorraine, Triest, Trentino and
the German colonies appears to be in
eurmountable."
In his reference to President Will
sons four new points In his July 4
speech, Baron Burian said he was
able to approve Of them heartily, and
that to a great extent, nobody would
refuse homage to this genius and no.
body would refuse his cooperation"
Baron Burian said none of the bel
lgerent states need never come into
the position reached by Russia and
Rumania, and 1--WE are ever ready to
enter into peace negotiations with all
our opponents"
Continuing, the foreign minister Of
Austria-Hungary said:
"If our enemies continuously de-
mand atonement for wrong done and
restitution then this is a claim which
we could urge with more justification
against them, because We AVE been
attacked and the wrong done to us
must be redressed."

WHAT GERMAN
FREEDOM OF SEAS"
REALLY MEANS
(New York SUM-

The phrase freedom of the seas
has been a favorite locution with
Germans since they began the war
against civilization. They have
sought to picture England as, a brutal
and despotic ruler Of the great
other nations in their use of the
oceans. The attempt has not been a
success; the existence and prosperity
Of a tremendous German merchant
fleet have been too obvious a refuta-
ton Of the charges of British discrim-
ination to be concealed. 1t has been
apparent that when a German states
man talked of freedom Of the seas
he meant freedom for Germany and
for nobody else. But this truth has
not been acknowledged by Germany's
spokesman, for good and sufficient
reasons.
It is interesting therefore to find
the facts Of German purpose bluntly
declared on respectable German au-
thority, by Professor Ehrenberg, in
the Vossische Zeitung. Not the oceans

years, butthe oceans a series Of Ger

to that victory, We have leaped across
England's power in the Mediterran-
can, and thus we have become a
naval power. thanks to a victory on
the land. We must go on in the same
direction. and there shines clearly
before us our last object for the at
