Here is an example: The order was
issued 10 cease firing at ii o'clock on
November H. All officers in command
were so informed hours before. Both
the British and the French stopped
fighting Immediately. The Americans
continued and necessarily the enemy
opposed 10 them did likewise TO the last
minute. Not only was our artillery
kept in action, but our infantry was
sent over the top into a hell Of ma
chine gun fire all that afternoon. Hun
dreds Of lives were wantonly sacrificed
TO no military purpose whatever.
This is one OF the stories we hear and
we believe It to be true. The Associa-
ated Press reported the American ac-
ton at the time, but the information
attracted no attention because it was
taken for granted that the British and
the French were also engaged. 1t seems
that they were not.

AN IMPORTANT

MANY months of comfort az little

son of San Diego, California, sums I'd
his experience with Neolin Soles. Mr..
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes Il will have to get new shoes
sometime, but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Neolin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable.
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-.Although Eddie
Cicotte was the losing pitcher in to
days world series contest, the analysis
Of balls and strikes showed him far
steadier than Jimmie Ring. his sue
cessful Cincinnati opponent Cicotte

In called balls. moreover. Cicotte
was away ahead. Umpire Nalin
thought Eddie missed the plate twenty
seven times, but he picked forty four
of Rings as bad ones Four of these
were given purposely TO Schalk in the
second inning. In addition. Ring gave
two other passes. while Cicottc issued
none. Each pitcher was credited with
two strike-outs Two hit batsmon
went on the wrong side Of Rings
ledger.
That Ring was depending upon his
fast ball 70 pull him out Of tickiish
situations was evident from the number
OF pop-ups which the Chicago players
hit. Sixteen times they hit the ball
in the air 70 fair territory and four
times to foul. Ten Of the Cincinnati
attempts Of Cicottc went over the in
field and eight sailed into foul terri
tory, half Of these latter going over
the stand. The White Sox cut the ball
along the ground thirteen times. while
Cincinnati's grodnders numbered three
more.
Cicotte's best innings were the
eighth and ninth, in each of which he
pitched only seven times. His worst
was the fifth. when he hurled eighteen
times and made his two fielding errors.
