Capacity Crowd There

Unlike the opening encounter of
this All-New York series, today's
game was played before a crowd that
taxed the capacity of the Polo
Grounds and let itself loose at fire.
quent intervals in tipping outbursts
of enthusiasm. 1t had plenty to en-
pitchers battle between Hoyt and
Art Nehf, who twirled stellar ball for
the Giants was replete with rafting
plays and tense moments.
Possibly the thing that most encour-
aged the followers of the Yankees,
looking forward to the ultimate out
come of the series. was the splendid
game pitched by Hoyt. who held the
Giants to one hit up to the eighth
inning and only allowed two all told,
this following the sterling game turn
ed in by Carl Mays in the opener
Never before has world series open
ed with two suaight shut outs of the
sCme contcstan mt.
No Further Than Second
SO air tight was Hoyts pitching
that the Giants never had more than
four men al the plate in any one inn
ing. The nearest they came to the
home base was in the ninth when
Frisch, with one gone singled to
right and went to second when Young
on his way home from second as a
fast double play on Young and Kel-
ly ended the inning and the game
The only other man to get to second
was Nehf who was given a base on
balls and went down on an out.
Aside from Hoyt's marvellous twirl-
ing. the game revealed Babe Ruth in

Nehf appeared to pitch to him every

Khan, and then Colonel Simmons him
self took the stand. He declared the
Khan is not anri-C Catholic, anti-Jew or
a~nti-negro; that 1t was not organized
for personal profit, and has no lawless
creed, and never has taken the law
into its own hands. In six years, he
asserted, he has received only $4,000
from the organization. He told the
committee he hoped 1t would make
the most thorough Investigation of the
Khan, and promised that If n e
thousandth part of the charges against
1t were proved, he would call the grand
council together for the purpose Of
disbanding the organization.
Colonel Simmons declared the at
tack on the Khan was started by a
Democratic paper of New York, to In
crease its circulation, and as a polit-
zeal scheme to put the proposition for
an investigation up to the Republican
congress, and that certain other met
ropolitan papers had to fall into line
to save their circulation.

If the council of the League Of Ma
lions has decided on the division of
Upper Silesia between Germany and
Poland on the lines reported in dis
patches from Europe, the reactionary
elements in Germany will be given a
fine chance to regain some of their
lost power. Though the reported SO
luton Of the problem is a compromise,
and gives Germany a considerable
share of the manufacturing region of
Upper Silesia, including the districts
of Gleiwitz, Hindenburg and part of
Beuthen, the Germans are highly dis
pleased with the decision. The mon
archie press is bowling for revenge,
and the radicals and conservatives unite
in denouncing the partition as a "crim-
inal act" The almost immediate re-
suit is likely to be the resignation of
the cabinet, and If Chancellor Wirth
is thus forced out, it is most probable
that Doctor Streseman will come into
power as his successor. He, as has
been said before in these columns, is
at heart a ~reactionary, and is bitter
against the entente allies and the
United States. Meanwhile, according
to rumors, certain of the Silesian cit
les awarded to Poland are preparing
to fight to stay In Germany. The old
German military bodies that were dis
banded when the league troops took
charge in the district, are getting to-
gether again, and arms that were
buried instead OF surrendered, are be-
ing dug up. The prospect is far from
peaceful.

King Alexander of Servia is the SUBJ
ject of a lot Of international gossip
these days. For weeks, since the
death of old King Peter. he has de-
1ayed his going 20 Belgrade to assume
the crown Of Jugo-Slavia, and the ex-
plantations Of this delay have not been
at all satisfactory. One day last week
it was reported in Paris, where Alex
ander is sojourning, that he had re-
nounced the throne, preferring the
pleasures Of the French capital to the
perils of being a king in his own land.
Next day this story was fatty denied
by the J%ugo-Slay legation in Par

the young monarch is enamored Of

One of Americas most astute states
men and lawmakers, Philander Chase
Knox, died suddenly In his home in
Washington last Wednesday. AS at
torney general, secretary of state and
senator from Pennsylvania, and for
many years as one Of the leaders Of
the Republican party, Mr.. Knox won
high consideration and fame. He was
q candidate for the Republican NOM
nation for the presidency In 1908, and
In recent years was especially promi-
nent as an answering opponent of
Of the resolution declaring the state
Of war with Germany and Austria at
an end. When he was attorney gen
eral, under President Roosevelt, he d.
rected the suit that smashed the
Northern Securities railway merger;
as secretary of state, in President
Taft's cabinet he did much to extend
American business in foreign lands,
developing the principle Of dollar d.
%plomacy," especially in the Far East.
Mr.. Knox often aroused the antago-
nism Of others by his downright poll
cies, but his unadulterated American
ism was lever questioned, and his
services to his country were numer-
Gus and important.
1t was expected in Washington that
the death of Senator Knox would re-
suit In brief delay In bringing the
peace treaties to a final vote In the
senate.

The American delegation selected
Basil Miles as its secretary, consid-
cred and approved the physical ar
rangements for the conference, and
then took up the matter of publicity
for the big meeting. The members
explained to the anxious representa-
tives Of the press that this is a ques-
ton for the conference to determine,
but that they would place no obstacle
in the way Of the fullest publicity pos
sible consistent with the expedition
of the conferences business.
Hundreds of idealists have written
to President Harding, under the i'm
preston that the conference is eX-
pected to accomplish the complete dis
armament Of the world. In a reply to
one of them. the President has under
taken to dispei the Illusion In 1t he
says, as he has said before, that it
Is erroneous even to suggest that the
conference can go>so far as to at
tempt universal disarmament, and
that eff we can get a reasonable limi-
tation we shall think that great things
have been accomplished" Continuing,
he says:
by reasonable limitation / NEAR
something practicable that there is a
chance to accomplish, rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance to
realize. It is necessary to deal with
actualities; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be-
yond hope of realization; yer its de-
STABILITY at this time might well be
questioned. Thousands of years of his
tory recording the wars and contrO-
versies Of mankind suggest that hu-
man nature would require revolution
airy reorganization to make universal
disarmament possible. A consideration
of the present state of the world must,
l think, enforce the conclusion that
this is not a hopeful time to undertake
that kind of revolution. To
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our last state worse than
our first. The attitude of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail, but rather that substantial re-
suits will be accomplished, calculated
to lessen the armament burden and to
reduce the danger of armed conflict"

WAGE LONG WAR on SAvAGES
Holland Never Able to Subdue Fierce
Tribe Living in Rich East Indian
Archipelago.

The military forces of Holland,
which the news dispatches say are to
be reduced nearly one-half. find con-
siderable employment Ia the East
Indian archipelago, nearly all Of which
belongs to the Dutch. 1t is a con-
siderable territory, covering a distance
from east to west as great as that
from New York to San Francisco.
The wild native tribes are trouble
some. But worst of all are the Achee-
nese, who occupy a little country at
the north end of Sumatra, Acheen Is
an absolute monarchy, recognizing no
authority or control from the Dutch
or anybody else.
One of the longest wars in history
has been fought by the Dutch against
the Acheenese. II was started in 1872,
and has been going on ever since with
no present prospect of bringing il to
an end.
In former days the Acheenese, who
are Malays, engaged largely in piracy.
In their swift sailing proas they
secured the seas, capturing every un-
armed vessel they came across, and
customarily butchering everybody on
board. By their depredations they al
most destroyed trade through the
straits of Malacca.
The Dutch did away with this mis-
chief by, running down the pirate
craft with small steam vessels and
destroying them. But the Acheenese
are still Independent and defiant on
land. When the Dutch avenge an out
rage by burning their villages and rice
plantations, they retire to inaccessible
Businesses of the mountains. The best
the Dutch can do is to hold the ex-
treme northern tip of Sumatra, where
they have planted a fortified town
called Kota Radja. Usually about
eight thousand troops are kept there
in garrison.
Across the base Of the tip string
Of fourteen little forts extend con-
nected with the town by railroad and
telegraph. Each is defended by elabo-
rate barbed-wire entanglements and
by hedge of the spiky plants called
Spanish bayonets, thirty feet wide,
which is even more effective. II a
fort is attacked re-enforcements from
Kota Radja are summoned by wire.
Not far from the town Is Gold
mountain, which is said to be fun OF
the yellow metal, but It is outside the
line of forts and so the gold remains
undug. For the Aeheenese are just
about the most feroclous savages In
the world, a little fad of theirs being
mutilation of their enemies whose
legs, arms and ears they cut off.
Their country is a primeval forest,
peopled by orang-outangs and full Of
a deadly malaria.

DOG HERO OF C0NFLAGRATl0N
instrumental in Saving Big oneTs
Flock Of Sheep From Death in
Burning Sheds.

Rover, a shepherd dog owned BY
Isadore Noliet, st. Paul Park,
Mimi, was the hero of a $4,000
fire, in which 1900 sheep were
burned to death and four sheds, 40
box cars of feed and large quantities
or machinery destroyed recently.
Agnes Noliet, the seventeen-year-
old daughter of Mr.. Noliet, was
busily engaged studying her school
lessons late at night. Rover began
barking, His continuous barking
attracted the attention of Agnes to
the window. Looking out, she dis
covered the sheds ablaze.
Awakening her father and other
members Of the family, they rushes
10 the sheds. More than 1000 sheep
locked up in the sheds we're in i'm
mediate danger of being burned to
death.
Opening the gates, Noliet sent
Rover in to drive the sheep cut Of
the sheds. Winding his master, the
dog did his work faithfully, and as
: result more than 5000 head of
sheep were rushed to safety Royer's
hair was slightly burned as q result
of his efforts.
