Sport, says that football and baseball games are
of inestimable value in the training for war. He
praises the initiative of the Gazetta and says that
he firmly believes that the stimulation of base
bail ans football competition amongsthe various
units of the Italian Army will have the most
gratifying and important results in maintaining
the morale of the troops. General Pennella is
especially pleased with baseball :as. an aid to
training and the maintenance ofsthe morale of
the troops.
'T look upon this form of sport" he says, cas-
an integral part of military training. Solace and
diversion are especially necessary in trench war
fare. During the inevitable lulE in this kind of
warfare the morale of the men is likely to suffer,
and they need the kind of recreation that will
chase away gloom and stimulate the spirit.
Sports and games take out of man the moral
and physical kinks contracted in the trenches.
| consider it matter of vital Importance to the
nation that interest in sport be stimulated, not
only in the army but also among the civilian
population

WAR CAUSES MARKED
DECLINE IN SUICIDES

London. June 22.-The British Medi-
cal Journal finds that the war has
caused a marked decline in the pro-
portion of suicides to the population.
Among males the rate per million liv-
ing was i57 in the ten years ending
1910 Isl in 1914 and 103 in 1915. IN
1916 it was a little higher, III.
The rate Of suicide among women
showed a fall from II. in the years
i90i-i0 to IS in 1914 and 1915, and 50
in 1916. The greatest reduction among
men was at the ages of Is to IS, where
as for women of latter middIe-age the
rate had not fallen at once.

FREE PORTS.

For some months we have been hearing good
deal about "free ports"-generally with a more
or less hazy idea to just what free port
was. But, since we are told it makes for greater
efficiency in shipping trans-shlpment ana snce'
in the past ten months we have become as a ma
ton increasingly awake to the fact that our ma
tional port facilities are generally speaking, in
adequate Anticipated and inefficient the free
port idea has sounded worth looking into.
The "free port" is one more of the things that
come pretty near being ''made in Germany" Ger
tainly the Free Port of Hamburg, if not the first,
is certainly at present the most advanced devel-
opment of the theory.
Hamburg was an ancient trading city, mart
with local Baltic trade, and with oversee con-
nections covering the world. Germany took the
going organization to build upon. Inland rail-
ways and waterways were brought to converge
.SRon the port. Even the commercial treaty with
Russia was written so as to make Russias traffic
tributary. The Elbe was dredged so that the
greatest ships were able to come up the 85 miles
from Cuxhaven to Hamburg. Then the Free
Port that belongs to commerce of today is a
great integrated machine designed for particular
purposes. 1t is manufacture
But exactly what was it that manufac-
tured? A modern harbor development with the
most efficient large-scale trans-shipment facili-
ties that could be devised? Yes; but more than
that.
free port, in its typical form, is an ex-
tensiye area in busy harbor of country that
collects tariff duties, into which entering ships
ay,d T. ind Of Yialc
goods may be loaded, unloaded, trans-shipped or
stored, also sorted, refunded and even manu-
featured, without any customs charge super
vision. In fact, the free port area is regarded
as foreign territory for customs purposes. 1t
is the best mechanical device for attracting a
volume of consignment materials for purposes of
resale and re-export
In other words, the free port is primarily to
facilitate and stimulate the growth of re-export
business. That at first doesn't sound like mat
ter of any particular vital personal interest to
the average American business man. But it is
precisely her enormous re-export business that
has made Ishdon for century the trading
center of the world; but also, because she was
the trading center to which the raw materials
of the whole world flowed first for redistribution
her merchants and manufacturers were able for
their use to get the pick of those materials
at the lowest prices.

THE PART THAT CIVILIANS PLAY IN THE
WAR
WAR.

II.
Separated by 5000 miles of ocean and pro-
tected by our Navy, civilian population can
during this war continue to live in the same
security as in peace times The Hun invaders
are not in our midst. We spared the agony
that came to the women and children and old
men of Belgium and France and Serbia and the
other overrun countries. While thus secure from
harm we must not forget that the civilian popu-
lations of these desolated countries much
our allies as are their fighting men. Let us real
ize more deeply their tragedies.
Read this testimony of Brand Whitlock, who
as our minister to Belgium knows what it means
for land to be occupied by German troops:
'Tamines is little mining town on the Sam
bre. The little church stands on the village
green overlooking the river, its facade all
splotched where the bullets and grapeshot spat-
tered against it. And in the little graveyard be-
side the church there are hundreds of new-made
graves, long rows of them, each with it's small
wooden cross and its bit of flowers. The crosses
stand in serried rows so closely that they make
very thicket, with scarcely room to walk be-
tween them. They were all new, of painted wood,
alike except for the names and the ages-thir-
sinister date-August %, 1914.
'The Germans began to pillage and burn the
houses, 676 of them; then they turned all the in
habitants into the street, promiscuously march
ing them about. 1t went on for long hours thew
were given no food drink During halt they
forced them to lie beneath the machine guns
then they lined them up against the church wall
and performed a mock execution. About 600
men were massed in ST. Martins Square on the
river bank, and their wives, mothers, daughters
were assembled by the soldiers to witness the
scene.
They lined up their victims in three rows
| along the Sambre and tumbled $50 of them head
over heels into the river showing back with their
bayonets those who attempted to cling to the
bank. Only four five escaped by swimming.
During this first execution the machine guns
were trained on the remaining lines When the
firing ceased that night, there were more
than 400 dead; their bodies lying there. women.
too, and children. And the graves are there
near by, in the cemetery, and the ages given are
from Is to S4''
The part that these civilians played in the war
was to bring to the civilized world the realiza
ton of what it would mean for German arms TO
conquer. In playing their part they gave their
lives in the most cruel way beastly enemy could
devise.
what part will our civilian population play in
the war? VIII it go along living as it did before
the war, or will it glory in the opportunity to.
serve IN the tremendous task of defeating civil
| zations enemy? Each individual must decide
that question. He can prolong the worlds agony
or ne can save-save and sacrifce-to the ut
most OF his ability and with his savings buy
War Savings Stamps that there may be more
!! money, labor. and materials to back UP those who
fight and die not only for US, but for I'll who
love freedom. Il

LORRAINE, Sept. 19.-Entrcnched in
the second lines of the Hindenburg sys-
tenn the Germans along the front
southwest of Metz appear to have ac-
cepted the new situation. The tactics
they are employing are wholly de-
fensive ones.
The Germans are carrying out a half
hearted and seemingly perfunctory
bombardment of the American lines.
Even challenges by American and
French patrols are refused by the en-
emy eXcert where a conflict is inevit-
able.
Shells from German 77-calibre guns
are reaching the American forward
positions, while those from the 105s
and sos are falling in the back areas.
From time to time the shells reach
points throughout the sector. bat only
at rare intervals does the enemy fire
give the impression that concerted
effort is being made.
1T would appear that The Germans
are convinced that further attacks at
an carly date are improbable and they
Themselves have neither the ability nor
the heart to counter attack.

was centred on them and they were
oblterated.
At Epehy, where the renowned Ger
man Alpine troops were holding, des
perate battle was waged throughout tho
day. These enemy troops are perhaps
TIE finest in the German army, big
strapping fellows who always fight like
men infuriated. Epehy could not bs
taken by direct assault. or. in fact. il
any other way until after long ane
heavy trench mortar bombardment
which greatly weakened the defences
Then the British advanced on either
side and got in a pocket.
Even then the Germans held out un-
til after, nightfall, fighting hard from
their dugouts and fortified buildings
The enemy delivered counter attack
here during the evening and forced
the British back somewhat. but this
ground was regaincd later in the night
500 Huns Surrender
AT Ronssoy the British got through
easily. Six hundred Germans surren-
dered in one group at this point when
surrounded,
Lempire was captured after a hard
battle. The enemy to the south OF
Villers-G -Guislain contested the Brit
ish advance fiercely and the Losses to
the defending forces here were tre-
mendous. The British got through
Vaucelette Farm, west Of Villers- -Guis-
lain, without much trouble, but quickly
ran into German counter attack.
The advanced forces clashed in the
open and a hand-to- hand struggle en-
sued with rife and bayonet. The Ger
mans were completely smashed and the
ground WAS strewn with their dead.
A further British advance was as
sisted by a novel innovation in the way
Of machine gun barrages. Two hun
dred and fifty rapid were brought
up and concentrated. These guns
opened terrific barrage. during which
each one of them pumped $4,000 rounds
of ammunition into the German de-
fences. The enemy was absolutely
overwhelmed. Those upon whom it
swept could neither retreat nor ad-
vance and large numbers surrendered
But the casualties were great. In one
small space, for example. three hun
dred dead later were found.
Tanks Used as Forts
In Geuche Wood the Germans had
viously captured. These tanks were
used as machine gun fortresses and
held out for hours before taken.
Late in the afternoon the Germans
opened heavy attack between Havrin-
court and Villers- Guislain with the
9Th German Division. This assault
was directed not only at, the British
who were engaged in yesterdays opera
tions, but against positions little
further to the north which the Brit
ish had taken in the last few days
The attack succeeded in rolling the
British back somewhat on the left. but
this ground was quickly regained in a
counter move, and the Germans were
everywhere repulsed with heavy losses.
Two British airmen had an unusual
experience last night in the battle
zone. Their planes crashed n'German
territory ten miles behind the st.
Quentin Canal. The men were not in
jurcd and tramped back to their own
lines. making their way successfully
through great numbers of German
troops and across the Hindenbure line.

Sept. 10. Four German prisoners h we

fifteen men were checked one night bv

patrol returned the next night with
material to bridge the wires. 1t wan
raining, however. and the Germans hao
turned off the current.
The patrol crossed the wires, came
TO another wire and wandered throuqh
an abandoned communication trench
until sentry was encounrered One of
the Americans, addressing the sentry
IN German, succeeded in obtaining the
countersign before the sentry discov-
cred the Ameri cans identity. With the
sentry prisoner the patrol moved on
until a second sentry was met. This
German recognized the Americans and
fed to his dugout. The Americans bat
tered down the door and captured him
and two Of his comrades.
At mldnlght raid was made by the
Germans against the American line
near Vandiers, northwest of Pont-
a-Mousson, at the same place where the
hrst early morning attack was directed
against the American outposts on the
edge of Rappes Wood. No prisoners
were taken, and it is doubtful if any
information was taken back by the
raiders.
Three OF the five American airplanes
lost yesterday were those belonging. to

exceedingly high. and many German di-
visions have suffered losses which are

with no more success than attended
