Historical City.

The city of Langres is very old
place, was founded about 600 B. c.
Has about 10000 inhabitants and is a
fortified town of first rank. However
it was captured and ransacked by the
Germans in 3O1, by Attila 451 and by
the Normans in sss and S91. The
city is situated on high plateau and
affords an excellent view of the sur
rounding country. 1t has two build
ings of historical importants, namely:
The Museum of Antiques founded in
1886 by the Historical and Archeol-
ogical Society of Langres, and the
ancient Cathedral which was begun
in the sth century. During later
years it was partly destroyed twice
but was rebuilt again. 1t was rebuilt
on different lines of architecture each
time, but blended together carefully,
so one sees rustic, yet a wonderful
old building embracing the Doric,
Ironic and Covinthian orders.

CRITICIzEs
WAR ADMINISTRATION
by Rep. Carter, In Congress From
the Thirteegth District Of
Massachusetts.

went To France In November. To
lind out for myself how our boys
over there were getting along. The
belief IN America. all along. had
been that they We're the best fed.
best clothed, hest cared for army in
the world. The American people
had stood back Of all the trcmcnd-
Gus appropriations, had gone over
the top with all the Liberty Loan
and funds for the Y. VI. G.. \. and
kindred organizalions-all with the
one desire that our lighters should
be- we'll taken care of.
Before I had gone very far with
my visits Ia the different American
sectors I yeryquickly got the idea
that the enlisted men are very much
dissatisned-many Of them extreme
~ bitter-over the whole PROPOSE
ton.
In confidence hundreds Of the
boys poured out their hearts 10 me.
They said they didn't dare talk
openly because They are IN the
service and subject la courtmartiaI
II they express opinions that do not
conform TO what the higher COM
mand wants expressed.
In the first place. they told me.
and ! saw for myself. tnat too much
difference is made between dough-
boys by doughhoys, I mean all
enlisted men aud officers.
Too many officers, especially III,
younger ones. have come to feel tina
the fact that they hold commission,
makes them superior In every way
10 the enlisted man, and these on.
GERS plainly showed by their atti.
tude toward the enlisted man thai
they felt this difference.
For n iling I found positiv,
orders that nurses should not asso.
ciate with enlisted men.
II was my observation that SOM
OF the very best brains and initiative
Of the army was possessed by th'
enlisted men. And I was told b!
some Of the military critics not con.
nected with our army that thl
American victories In battle Were
due almost entirely TO the dare-devi
bravery and tenaciiy Of the Ameri.
can doughboy.
The war, according TO my way o
thinking, has developed an inloler.

European systems, where the en-
listed man was not supposed 10 be
able 10 do any thinking for himself.
This caste system In the American
army showed itself on every hand.
Everywhere | found the officer class

many localities passing their spare
time In comfortable clubs. They
seemed 10 think that any haymow
or mudhole was good enough for u
doughboy Ia sleep IN.
when the doughhoys get back
they'll tell that often for weeks at
a time they went without changes
Of underwear; up at the lighting
front there were days at a time
when they went on short ralions.
Why? As far as I could learn, II was
incompetence on the pnrt Of the
highcr-ups, who didn't worry
enough ahnut the comfort Of the
/ enlisted men.
For months In America, W. made
ourselves believe that our air serv-
Ice would quickly end the war. We
used To say we would send ten thou
sand machines ove into Germany
and blow mp the whole country.
We did too much talking and
wrangling over the type of motor
We should use, and not enough
building. We never had hut a hand
ful of Amcrican-built Liberty mo-
tors In actual service; and more
than one lighting aviator told me
they preferred the French or Brit

reliable. Our big failure IN the war
was in aviation.

SALLEE DROPS PILLS
BY Special Correspondent

Cincinnati. o.. Sept. II.
A CCORD1NG to Red headquarters.
IA there had been 1877 ,443 applica-
tons for series tickets up to noon yes
terday from Cincinnati and vicinity,
1856 from Dayton, 503 from New York.
877 from Chicago. 10 from st. Louis,
251 from Philadclphia-presumably

b. from other parts Of the country.
It is now believed that there will be
about 225 900 requests for tickets filed
at Cincinnati. As it will be impossible
to stick more than 10000 folks in the
ball yard, wei with the additions that
nre planned. somebody is going to be

Sheaking of being let out, Pat
Moran and his men weren't n bit sorry
to see the Pills depart. The coming
champions did not extract much nutri-
ment from the brief two game visit
one defeat, which set them back annoy
ipgly in their advance to the flag, and
one victory, which did them no good
because the Giants also won. Hence
they speedcd the parting guests, even
going to the train with them to see that
they did not get left over by mistake,
As to C. G.. Cravath and company
they went away cheerfully, expecting
new lows and some actual victories,

exasperating things wherein Slim Sallec
is such a past master. He walked no
body. he famed only one man and he
pushed his slants over with ~aggravating
science, only seven scattered hits re-
sulting. The Phils seriously threatened
the plate but once-in the fifth stanza-
and then the big chance was spoiled
when Bancroft tried for home on a
bounder right into Sallee's hands.
Hogg pitched a tidy game for Ora
vath, and would have won most any
other time. But his pals failing to
flock their hits, Hogg was doomed to
the block and could not save his bacon.
At that, he came within six inches of
saving his chops and cracklings.
In the fourth round Daubert singled.
Roush ensued with a two Dagger. In
this emergency Hogs grunted grimly
and shot them over. Out of seven
pitches to Neale and Kopf six were
strikes, and both these proud collcgians
hit the ozone. He had Pat Duncan
going the same way for a moment. Then
the stocky kid soaked one. 1t went
just six inches out of Bancroft's reach.
and two runs, the only tallies of the
game, came rafting home.
Phil Paragraphs
SalIee amazed with two hits. Slim sai id
Hdgg's pitching looked so tempting he could
not resist.
The Red infeld was mainly responsible
for the failure of the Pills against Sallee.
AL four of the intielders performed prodi-
giles. making stops and catches that were
almost on the verge of impossibility.
The Reds are still bad on the double
steal. both when trying it and when blocking
It. With Duncan on third and Wingo on
and Duncan never started for home TIL
the ball was actually on its way back to
the plate.
Lebourveau was the only Phil to get
more than one hit off Sallee. The stocky
poilu also stole a base and made two neat
catches in left field.
Sallee has given only eighteen bases on
balls in twenty-five full games. That's
pretty nearly a record for a left-hander,
Hogg. did not contribute his usual hits,
The Red intelders got in front of everything
he whacked.
The finish of the game was a huge gurElc.
Cravath decided to bat for Luderus. and he
hit the first one. Sal threw with all his
weight. Sal tried to duck the .whizzina
liner and ran away from 1t. The ball took
the long pitcher right where he wears the
coat tails of his evening suit, and knocked
him fiat. And then It angled right off him.
went on one long hop straight into Daubert's
