Bridgeport this afternoon accepted the Perry Memorial Arch al the sn= trance Seaside Park aH Park avenue with appropriate ceremonies which were attended ty n great ihf6ns of people. including city officials and state officers who had gathered to pay homage on the occasion to one of Bridgeport's most distinguished fami. lies
 The ceremonies were preluded by a half hour concert by the Whee CT & Wilson band following which lere was an invocation by Rev. Stephen F. Sherman and community singing un- der the direction of Alvin Bruel
 Morris B. Beardsley one of the trustees of the Hunt fund made a short address and was followed by Rev. William Horace Day, who spoke as follows:
 Dr. Day said in part:
 To-day we honor the memory of a sturdy son of New England,- who came here in 1856 with the Wheeler &. Wilson Go. For many years he held responsible positions as superin- tendent, secretary and treasurer of that company. For the most part he lived quietly and without taking any place of community leadership, but he rendered valuable service to the city on the Board of Park Commits sioners. serving with P T. Barnuln and William H. Noble. It is pecu- IiarIy fitting that this beautiful mem orial should have been planned as an additional element of beauty in the system of parks, which suggested that Bridgeport be called the Park City, And it is also appropriate that his memorial should adorn the same park as that in which the statue of Elias Howe stands. Each of these men through Bridgeports sewing ma chine, made a real contribution to-

E aLTu1Cr' To Anticipate
 Attacks Attorney General Will Pre- pare Opinion on Prohibi-

 BEFORE WILSON

Washington, Oct 11-Anticipating attacks on the constitutionahty of the war time and constitutional prohf-I= tion enforcement legislation, Attor- ney General Palmer will prepare an opinion which will be transmitted to the White House before the bal be- comes a law.
 Enactment of the legislation was complete yesterday by Congress and the measure probably will be sent to the White House Monday. Unless signed by President Wilson within 10 days it automatically would become jaw.
 There appeared to be some doubt at the White House today whether the measure would come before the President because of the disincIina- tion of his physicians to let him transact any business. Should MT Palmer hold the measure uncontitu- tional, it was expected that it W ould be referred to the President for his veto. Otherwise it might be per mltted to become a law without the executives signature.

had big day when he marched into
Metz last fall. Pershing had every
thing his own way when he headed his
Yanks down Fifth avenue some weeks
ago. Other heroes have experienced
other triumphal home comings after
other noted conquests.
Pat Moran, hero of all Cincinnati
heroes, had his turn today when he
brought his conquering Reds back
home from an invasion Of enemy ter
ritory with four to one game count
over the White Sox in the world series.
Crowds Of Redland fans thronged the
station and raised din of welcome
when the Red special pulled In. En-.
thusiastic supporters acclaimed the
Moranites as world champions as they
brushed their way to waiting taxi cabs.
This morning other crowds filled hotel
lobbies and almost fought for a posi-
tion in the knots Of men who were
seeking the muscular mitt OF some
Red hero in a congratulatory grasp.
Cincinnati figures the series as to
all intents and purposes concluded.
Opinion was general here that today's
game would formally award the crown
already accorded by tacit consent
Nevertheless judging from the
clamor made for tickets, for today's
game which began in Chicago last
night when Redland visitors got busy

person Of wee Dickie Kerr, for he is
slated for mound duty today. The
jubilant fans now believe their idols
are unbeatable and they not only fail
to look on Kerr as menace but pre-
dict that he will not last through the
game Such is the Cincinnati spirit.
Walter Ruether, star left handler and
able slugger, was Moran's early choice
as the pitcher who will be delegated
a chance to lower the colors Of the
wee Texan, who has turned IN the
lone Sox victory Of the series to date.
Thus far Moran has shown the base
ball world the greatest and most var
led assortment of pitching stars ever
let loose by one club In world

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Ratification
of the peace treaty by the king OF
Italy will formally put the treaty into
effect without participation OF the
United States, as soon as final for
malities have been taken by Great
Britain and France, the other two
ratifying powers.
The king Of England has yet to
affix his signature to the treaty,
which has already been passed by
parliament and the French senate,
but has still to follow the lead OF the
chamber Of deputies in accepting the
pact. King Georges signature and
the endorsement Of the French sen.
ate are no more than routine pro.
ceedings, wholly under the control
of Lloyd-George and C1emenceau.
By postponing these official acts,
Great Britain and France can hold
United States has signified its final
intentions toward the treaty. 1t Is
not probable that an indefinite post
ponement will be risked, however.
With GFeat Britain, France and
Italy having dSCCptt0 CAe IIcdLy, tAS
three approvals stipulated by the
peace conference before the treaty
can become operative will have been
obtained. Therefore, Germany will
be officially at Peace with Europe
and resumption of diplomatic rela-
tions can be begun. The supreme
war council in Paris will discontinue
it's dictatorship and it's principal
functions will pass to the league OF
nations. The first meeting Of the
league must be summoned within
fifteen days after peace officially
comes into operation
Article 4S of the treaty provides
that fifteen days after the treaty be-
comes effective, commission Of five
shall be appointed to trace the boun-
daries Of the Saar basin. One COM
missioner each is to be appointed by
Germany and France and three by
the council of the league of nations.
1t is probable, therefore, that the
first meeting Of the league will not
be in Washington, but in some Euro
pean capital. possibly Paris.
This means that if the British and
French governments take immediate
steps to complete ratification CT the
treaty, America, after having won
the war, will not be in at the peace.

Evers Says Series Is Over.
[By Johnny Evers, Written For The

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. THE
Sox have lost and the world series is
over. The Reds are proving they are
a really great club. They are playing
with confidence that is unbeatable.
When a team plays that way it makes
its own breaks" But its not the
breaks that are winning for the Reds.
They are simply outplaying, out
gaming, out-hitting, out-ielding and
out-maneuyering the Sox. They are
winning from every angle Of the game.
Again yesterday pitching was de-
Gliding factor. Eller's exhibition was
really a wonderful one. The Sox
could not hit him. They showed their
nervousness by continually examining
the ball. To an experienced baseball
man that showed weakness.
The break in the game came when
Eller got this double. He has been hit
ting all season. He is dangerous
hard hitter and the hit was no fluke.
