Chicago, Ill.,, Oct. 9.-Cincinnati
won the worlds championship today
when it batted two White Sox pitchers
out of the box and took the eighth
game of the sereis by score of 10 to
5. The game was loosely played on
both sides. The White Sox made ten
hits off Of Eller and the Reds were
charged with two errors, but the Sox
did not succeed in turning these ad-
vantages into runs, while Moran's men
completed the circuit ten times dur
ing the nine innings.
Williams Losses Again
Gleason made the fatal mistake Of
saving Kerr, who pitched his second
winning game for the Sox yesterday,
and sending in Williams, who has been
Chicago's prize loser of the present
series. The first inning gave Cincin-
natl four runs.
Williams was succeeded in the box
by James, who did no better, and
James in turn gave way to Wilkinson,
the youngster whom Gleason sent in in
the opening contest of the series in a
futile attempt to save the game after
Cicotte had thrown it away. The Reds
scored another run in the second, made
their sixth run in the fifth, boosted
the tally to nine in the sixth, and made
it ten in the eighth.

COOLER WEATHER
HELPS PRESIDENT
Condition Of Woodrow Wilson
Reported Better Today


Washington, d. G. Oct. o.
Cooler weather was credited today
by President Wilson'S physicians
with aiding in his recovery which
now has reached the stage where
he is able to spend part of his
time sitting up. The unreasonable
heat during the past few days was
declared to have greatly retarted
the patients progress and with the
change he is able to sleep better
and to gain more strength from his
rest.
The president still was pro-
hibited today from doing any work
although his physicians said he
was well enough to resume the
duties of his office should any
emergency arise.

SECOND NEGRO ARRESTED
Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. o.
AS a result Of confession al
legged to have been made by Jim
Smith, negro, arrested Wednes-
day night for the assault and
murder of Edna Werner in East
Grand Forks, a second negro,
Tom Thomas, who is said by
Smith to have been the actual
perpetrator of the crime, was ar
rested this morning by the
Grand Forks police and turned
over to the Polk county (Minn.)
authorities at Crookston.
Smiths confession includes
complete revelation of the hor-
rible affair. He claims that it
was Thomas who used his
(Snl nlith's) revolver to kill the
girl and afterwards violated her.
Demanded Honey First
Smith states that he and
Thomas were crossing the Wash
ington street bridge over the
Red river when they met with
Miss Werner, Thomas drew a
revolver and pointing it at her
demanded her money.
Il have no money! replied
Miss Werner.
"Wen, then, come with us
down under the BRIDGE said
Thomas, adding an obscene re-
mark.
II won't go. You can kill me
first," said Miss Werner.
"All right" said Thomas, and
fired.
The bullet struck Miss Werner
in the neck. She screamed and
turning from the two negroes
started to run.
Thomas then fired a second
time and the girl fell.
Returns to Dying Girl
Smith says that he and Thom-
as then picked up the still strug-
Cling girl and carried her around
the edge of the bridge and laid
her on the ground. They then
started away. When they had
gone a few rods Smith says
Thomas stopped and said, II am
going back after that girls
money"
Thomas then retraced his
steps to where the girl lay, ac-
cording to Smith, and did not re-
join his companion for some ten
minutes. They then returned to
this side Of the river.
Chief of Police OVERLY Of
Grand Forks was notified Of
Smiths confession at a o'clock
this morning.
He Immediately had Thomas
arrested. The latter was found
sleeping at a local barber shop
where he was employed.
The chief at once rushed him
to Crookston in an automobile.
Thomas Makes Denial
Thomas, the police say, denies
Smiths story entirely, denying
that he had anything to do with
the crime.
Coroner Nelson and States
Attorney Montague Of Polk
county opened the inquest into
the affair at the East Grand
Forks jail this morning.
The whereabouts of the two
prisoners is being kept a secret
by the authorities who fear an
attempt at lynching following an
abortive affair of early this
morning.

We were spared the epidemics to
which armies are liable; only spotted

a short period. As regards measures
against vermin, very thoro pre-
cautions had been taken at the
frontier to prevent the troops from
going home infected. Thanks TO the

Looking after the intellectual needs

in hand and carried IL thru ener-

heartfelt words: THE spirit creates

the field libraries were useful to the
troops. They could not. OF course,
entirely satisfy their demands for
books: military bookshops were set
up in great numbers.
The armies produced their own
local newspapers. l arranged for
them TO have a good news service.
The getting up of concerts. the
atres and cinema shows were in the

we encouraged these undertakings.

that the high command OF the East
