AMSTERDAM, Sunday, Sept. Sin
lecture on the war in Berlin, Lieut..
Gen. Won Freytag-L deputy
chief Of the general staff, contended
that the present crisis on the western
front was less serious than many 9th
ers during the course of the war.
The position we occupied before
the enemy counter offensive began
was the result of an abortive offensive
and therefore unsuitable for defense
whose aim was the effective economic
ing of forces" the general is quoted
as saying in a dispatch from Berlin.
THE positions had not been consoli-
dated as trench warfare demands"
General Won Freytag-Loringhove
argued that nothing like a decision
was in prospect. He said:
The thing now is to push things
so that Great Britain and America
recognize our invincibility in defen-
sive warfare We lack neither men,
war material nor raw material to hold
out for a long time. We must, how
ever, not slacken in our determina-
tion which must remain alive in the
army and at home. All that might di-
vide us must be postponed until the
end Of the war"

BOSTON MEETS
CUBS ON HOME
FIELD TODAY

BOSTON, Sept 9-Thrown back on
the defensive by two defeats on their
home ground the Chicago Cubs en-
gagged the Boston Red Sox on foreign
fields this afternoon in the fourth COM
bat of the world series. Some 10000
spectators saw the red-hosed cham
pions of the American league who re-
new their offensive on their own
grounds where they have always play
ed their strongest game.
The contest was fought on rain
soaked field. There was room for all
who came and rows of vacant seats
made yawning gaps in the spacious
stand. Here and there groups of sol
diers and sailors brought to mind the
cause of the diminished world series
crowd and fading interest in the now
sport,
All morning heavy clouds swept
over the field but the sun broke
through when the game began and
the field was bathed in sunlight.
Babe Ruth and Sam Jones warmed
up for the home team while George
Tyler and Phil Douglas got into con-
dition for the Cubs.
Ruth and Agnew for Boston; Tyler
and killifer for Chicago.
