FRANCE: WANTS LEAGUE ID MEET
 AT EARLY DATE:
Clemenceau Suggests to House That Conference Be Held
 in U. s.

Paris, Oct. 4.-Premier Clemen. ceau has written Col k. M. House, 6 member of the American delegation urging that a meeting of the league be held in Washington under the chairmanship of President Wilson early in November. The premier's letter, which outlines his reasons fo1 the calling of such meeting was of ficially published today. It was written September 4, 1919, and fol lows:
 "My Dear Friend: l hope soon to have the pleasure of seeing you in Paris before your return to America but our friend, Captain Tardieu says that this is not certain and therefore it seems well to communi- cate to you reflections suggested by decisions to be taken concerning the society of nations.
 "In the first place it seems to me that the first meeting of the society in Washin"ton under the presidency of MT. Wilson should be urgently called at the earliest possible mo- ment. Owing to the hopes this so- cietv has caused to be born and to facilitate the solution of international problems facing all nations. I would suggest the meeting be held the first week of the coming Novem- bor and would propose the invitation of the greatest possible number of statesmen whose names who were as- sociated with the creation of the society of nations.
 "Undoubtedlv there would be only a small amonnt of current business to transact but the program would have this capital advantage: It wonld put in action the society, which still exists only on paper.
 "Finallv don't you think it would hn 9 great advantage for the ex- officio members Of the society of na- tions to be enabled to exchange vieve on the general direction of the line to hn pursued? No man is better qualified than President Will son to remind the peoples at the on- eninp of the first assembly, that the society of nations will have presti"e and influence in times of neace onlv if if succeeds in nc'aintajnino and d"ve]opin" the feelinp of interna- +ional solidarity from which it was horn d''rine the war at thn call of Mr Wilson. [. mvself. shall be hap pv +o second him in this task.

STATE TROOPS CALLED TO RIOT AT STEEk. MILLS Gary and East Chicago Are Scenes of Violent
 Outbreaks. AGITATORS ARE BUSY.
 OFFICIALS REPORT Bricks and Stones Hurled at Police, Sheriff's Deputies and Foremen Scores Said to Be
 Hurt.

Indianapolis, Oct 4-Gov. James P. Goodrich tonight ordered II com- panies of state militia to East Chicago, and Gary, where roting broke out today as result of the strike of steel workers in that dis trict. The troops will have head quarters in East Chicago, where 800 of them are expected to arrive by 6 o'clock tomorrow morning. They will be under command of Adjt Gen. Harry B. Smith.
 The governor'y action followed an appeal by Sheriff Barnes of Lake county and Mayor Hodges of Gary. The sheriff reported that agitators were melting the striking steel work CTS to riot and that the situation was beyond control on account of inability to obtain sufficient deputies. He also reported that trouble was brewing between negroes and whites.
 Gary, Ind, Oct. 4.-Serious rioting broke out late today when thousands of steel strikers and others hurled bricks and stones, fought the police, deputy sheriffs and city firemen. in turing probably scores. The local company of militia was notified by city officials to be in readiness for duty.
 The trouble started when strikers were leaving union mass meeting. Several thousand strikers who were at the meeting and others on the streets were involved.
 The immediate cause of the rioting, the first serious disorder here since the strike was called September 22. was the presence of a number of non-strikers on street car on their way to the steel mills to work.
 A riot call was telephoned to the police: The first policemen were overwhelmed.
 Then second riot call brought the remainder of the police force. about 100 men. These were followed by nearly 800 special policemen. the fire men and between 200 and 300 special deputy sheriffs.
 As the riotinp continued, the police arrested more than a score.
 In the meantime, Mayor Hodpes and Chief of Police Forbus notified officers of the local militia company to he in readiness for duty if needed.
 The police finally obtained the up- per hand after sending out two squads armed with riot puns. It was not necessary to fire a shot.
 1ncomplete reports to the police showed that 40 or 50 nersons had been injured. four of them police men. None was fatally hurt, accord ing to reports.

REDS NOW NEED BUT TWO GAMES
 TO WIN SERIES
Hurling of Ring and Cicotte's Errors Beat Sox,
 2 to 0.
THREE HITS ALL THAT
 ARE GIVEN CHICAGOANS
Superb Work Behind National Pitcher Helps Him-Hits and Errors in Fifth Spell
 Defeat.

Chicago, Oct 4.-Cincinnati now needs but two games to bring the worlds championship flag to the banks of the Ohio. Chief Moran's redlegged National leaguers today defeated the Chicago White Sox the fourth game of the series, 2 to 0.
 The path ahead of the Sox is strewn with rocks, broken glass and sown with Canada thistles, in the view of followers of the game, for they must win four of the remain ing games to win the bunting, and dare lose only two to end the series in favor of the Reds. In the opin- ion of unprejudiced persons it ought to be very easy to drop a brace to a club going like the Reds have been.
 Today's defeat was sore blow to the locals, for they had hoped that as the Reds had won two straight games on their home grounds, the Sox would do likewise. The 3 to 0 win of the locals yesterday reused enthusiasm to a high pitch and the attendance today, 34,363, heaviest of the series, attested the aspirations of the Chicagoans.
 Eddie Cicotte, who was driven out of the box in the opening game at Cincinnati where he suffered the most humiliating defeat of his ca reer, elected to retrieve his renown today, but while he held the Reds to five hits and issued no passes, two of those hits came in one inning, and he himself in that inning punched two errors which proved costly.
 The regular order of things brought Jim Ring into the pitchers box for the Reds, but the fact that he allowed but three hits. as scattered as soda fountains in the Sahara, was somewhat marred by the fact that he passed three Sox batsmen on wide ones and hit two others.
 The fielding back of him was noth- ing short of superb. Every Red was on tiptoe, vigorous, confident and aggressive. They brought down long hard flies in a way to discourage all opposition, and fielded the ball with the greatest dash and brillancv. This was particularly noticeable in the sec- ond and third innings when it was a question whether the big right handler would collide with the avia- tor who was performing above. or join the list of baseball idols, which Garry Hermann is offering his loy- al following in Cincinnati.
