"A VerV Law Fellow"

On Board King Albert's Train,
Oct. 8.-King Albert is an early
riser and thus far is enjoying his
journey across the continent. He
was up and dressed, ready to
stretch his legs, at the first stop
the royal special has made. 1t
was a Manila, Ia, this morning.
His majesty, dressed in blue ci-
william clothes, which are becom-
ing familiar to the members of
his party. clambered off his pri-
vate car and strolled along the
platform at the station, where
small crowd had gathered, eager
to catch a glimpse of royalty.
One man in the traditional ha-
biliment of a farmer stepped up
to the tall figure who was en-
joying a cigar and walk before
breakfast.
"Can you tell me-" he said,
whether the king is going to ap-
pear on the .platform?"
NO his majesty responded.
"The king is a very lazy fellow
and never rises before 10
o'clock"

WILL INSIST ON
SOME PROPOSALS
TOQUIET UNREST
Public Group in Industrial Con
ference to Abandon. Attitude
of Watchful Waiting.

Washington, Oct. 8.-After three
days spent in organization. the in
dustrial conference called by Presi-
dent Wilson will come to show
down Thursday on the business to
be transacted.
Only brief session was held
Wednesday, adjournment bel &
taken to permit the groups repre-
senting capital, labor and the pub
lie to formulate such suggestions
and proposals as they wish to sub
NIT for consideration
From the public group came the
authoritative intimation that the
members representing the innocent
bystanders" in the war between cap
ital and labor were prepared to
abandon the attitude of watchful
waiting and benevolent neutrality
which they at first thought was their
best policy. The opinion is grow
ing that the public group, led by
Bernard M. Baruch as chairman.
will not rest until the right and left
divisions of the conference accept
some forward-looking proposal to
ailay unrest and maintain steady
production.
Labor proposals are considered
certain to include reaffirmation of
the right of collective bargaining
and of the strike, the principle of
the eight-hour day and perhaps the
more advanced suggestions for
profit-sharing and participation in
industrial control.
Whatever is done by the confer
erce-and everybody, including the
permanent chairmap, Secretary
Lane, expresses confidence that real
results will be forthcoming-seems
likely to be compromise under the
voting rules,

LUTHERAN HEAD
URGES CHANGES
INLEACUE PACT
Religious Freedom Provision
Must Be Inserted.
Says Dr.. Knubel.

"The league of nations will prove
within TO years to be merely a rope
Of sand unless a clause is inserted
providing for absolute religious free
dom in all the countries which are
members of the league" declared
Rev. F. H. Knubel of New York
City, president of the United
Lutheran church in America, at the
opening of the Nebraska synod
meeting in Grace Lutheran church
last night.
"The league should be adopted
with certain amendments to safe
guard our own national life" he
said. 1T should be adopted because
it is the best we can get now and
although we know, as I believe Pres
'dent Wilson knows, that the high
ideals with which we entered the
war have failed entirely to become
world ideals.
Must Insert Section.
"But as soon as it is adopted a
new section providing for entire
religious freedom should be in
serted"
Rev. Dr., Khubel declared that so
wonderful have been the develop
ments in the church during the last
few years that they show the guild
ing hand of God.
"A year ago." he said, three great
bodies of Lutherans in this country
were united. into one with a COM
municant membership of 100000.
At nearly the same time three
Lutheran bodies using the Nor
wegian language were united.
The National Lutheran commits
sion, organized to do war work, was
supported by IL great Lutheran bod
les. And now it is permanently es-
tablished for peace work.
The church during the war, in
spite of obstacles, sent some work.
ers to France. And we learn now
that these men had the strongest in
tluence in stabilizing the French
Lutheran church, now greatly in
creased by the return of Alsace to
France.
Two of our commissioners were
taken by Premier Paderewski on
his special train from Paris to War
saw, Poland, where they began a
great work now going on among
the 100000 Polish Lutherans, vast
numbers of whom are living in abb
Ject poverty and misery in that
land where not even the soldiers
have shirts, so great is the poverty
Must Push On.
"We must push our ideals still
further. Our dream must be of
world-union of Lutheranism in the
work it has to do.
From dreams great things grow.
There was a time when there was
no Red Cross, when war was many
times worse because the, hands of
tender care came not near the bat
tlefield. A woman dreamed dream
in Lutheran deaconess' home on
the Rhine. 1t was from her dream
that all the modern ministries of
mercy came. Her name was Flor
ence Nightingale, name known and
blessed the world over"
The convention sessions will con-
tinue today beginning at 8 a. m.
Rev. H. L. Yarger Of Chicago will
be the principal speaker this morn
ing. This evening Rev. o. D.
Baltzly will preach the ordination
sermon and several will be ordained
to the ministry.
Eighty of the delegates to th~,
convention went to Fremont yester-'
day to be present at the opening of

GERMAN STORY OF
YANK MUTINY FALSE.

Coblenz, Germany, Oct. 8.-Ger-
man newspapers have given public
ity to a false story that American
soldiers at Coblenz had mutinied on
account of a reduction of pay. At
American military headquarters here
it is stated that the story, which
was also sent out by the German
Wireless News Service to neutral
countries, is absolutely without
foundation. The story is consid-
cred as pure propaganda, originat-
ing with Germans who desire to cre-
ate a feeling of unrest among the
troops.

Chicago Team Now Considers
Itself Real Contender for
Base Ball Championship
Play Today in Chicago.
CICOTTE MAKES GOOD
AFTER TWO DEFEATS
In the Event Of a Ninth Game
Being Played the Deciding
Contest Will Take Place in
Cincinnati on Friday.

Cincinnati, Oct. Swimming TO-
days game against Cincinnati, 4 to
|, the recently detected and all but
hopeless White Sox of Chicago now
consider themselves real contenders
FOR the worlds base ball champion
ship.
The series now stands four games
for Cincinnati and three for the
Chicago White Sox. Tomorrow,
weather permitting, they play in
Chicago. The athletes of the pallid
hose took the train tonight jubilant
at the manner in which they have
snatched chance of victory from
what seemed certain defeat, and
were determined that the eighth
contest, played on their own famil-
lar real estate and cheered by their
loyal following, will see the series
tied up.
Real Base Ball.
The serio-comic affair of yester-
day was succeeded today by real
base ball. The visitors earned two
of their tallies by conscientious
workmanship, and this was enough
to win, while the other two counts
came partly by grace of Red errors.
Four n1isdeeds were charged against
the Cincinnati team. and but one
against the Comiskey entry.
Cincinnati trotted out pinch hit
ters, pinch pitchers and pinch rum
ners in a desperate eadeavor to
come up from behind >as the Sox did
yesterday, but all to no avail. The
Reds used three pitchers-Sallee,
Fisher and Luque, and another
pitcher, Ruether, appeared as an
emergency batsmsn. Despite the ar
ray of hurlers, the Sox accumulated
10 hits, while the National leaguers
were able to pole out but seven.
Eddie Cicotte Makes Good.
Eddie Cicotte, who was driven
from the box in the first game OF
the series and lost his second game
because his teammates could not hit
anything, came into his own in this
afternoons attraction. He exhibit
ed control, speed and judgment, and
his comrades played with conf
dence properly tempered and quail
-ihed by recent severe lessons, and a
dash that reminded their clientele OF
their best nid-season form.
The narrowing of Cincinnati's
margin of victories caused serious
consideration of the possibility of a
ninth game. Cincinnati won the toss
taken Immediately after today's en-
gagement and the deciding contest
if Chicago evens things up tomor-
row, will be played here next Fri
day. President John A. Heydler OF
the National league tossed the coin
and Mr.. Hermann guessed it would
be tails, and tails it was.
For the first time in the series
many seats were vacant, due, it was
said, to the general belief that seats
would be difficult to obtain. Every
body expected that everybody else
would be ahead of them and the re-
suit was a half crowd in the left
field bleachers, many vacancies in
those in the right and little unpop-

BENNING AND souTHER FIELD.

Two bits of news of Importance to this sec
ton are forthcoming today. One of them is that
the House military affairs committee has recon-
mended the abandonment of Camp Gordon at
Atlanta, and the transfer from that camp to Camp
Benning, at Columbus all activities now carried
on there, and recommended an appropriation for
the purchase of additional real estate and the COM
pIetion of buildings to make Camp Benning the
great camp that has been planned. The other of
them is the high reports which General Pershing
has had of Souther Field and the high regard in
which it is held in army circles matter of which
the General yesterday in person assured delega-
ton of Americus citizens in Columbus
Only short time ago the word came officially
nom Washington that the war department con-
tempated, when definite aviation program was
worked out and money made available to expand
Souther Field into greater post, and make it the
control station for the South Atlantic and Gulf
coasts, and also to use it in connection with Fort
Benning, only an hour flight distance, which is to
be the war departments greatest training school
for infantry.
Slowly the war department. plans are un-
folding but apparently surely. With recalcitrant
and partisan congress- the various departments are
having hard time getting anything done appar-
entlyE but though slowly the steps are being taken

the plans And when we do, we shall see Souther

THE YAM SAVE US YET.

The Georgia yam, the only fruit that grows
underground is put to the fore by Congressman
Chas. K. Crisp, own congressman, as a source
OF sugar, according to dispatch from the national
capital After conferences with experts in the de-
Partment of agriculture he has become convinced
that the sweet potato has too long been ignored as
a source of much needed sugar in these days of
famine in that article of food says the report Ac-
cordingly, he introduced resolution yesterday,
calling tor an appropriation of 100000 to be ex-
pended by the Secretary of Agriculture in conduct
ing the experiments to ascertain whether it is pos
sible to establish profitable commercial industry
for the manufacture of sugar syrup, glucose and
dextrin from sweet potatoes
Congressman Crisp believes the proposition
to be entirely feasible He points out that some
potatoes contain 10 per cent of sugar as compared
with 4 per cent in sugar beets but the potatoes
can be grown much more easily and cheaper than
the beets.

FIERCE TIMES.

60 many troubles chase us, so many problems
face us, we'Ie always in a stew; many
woes distressing, many cares pressing,
don't know what to do. We sigh for days de-
parted, when we were happy hearted, and full
of wholesome glee; when griefs were not invent
ed, and every man, contented sat meath his
vine and tree. But in those bygone seasons.
Huns, with tricks and treasons, kicked up
beastly row, we were as unhappy. as sassy and
as scrappy, we are now. The troubles
then parading were of another shading, they
bore another brand, but they were just as gall
ing, they kept the people brawling throughout
wearied land. Our words were just bitter.
we didn't sing and twitter more than we do to-
day; we paved around and painted, and walked
the floor and ranted and groaned our hearts
away. Despite the thorns that scar u.s. despite
the jolts that jar u.s. we still can smile few; it
doesn't make things better to be a chronic fret
ter and weep a quart or two.
