The wanderer in far countries is
.ome again with the spoils of war.
The dust is on his knapsack and the
,us. is on his canteen, but the booty
follows in his victorious wake.
For the Giants have made port
o. last. to dock in triumph at the
Vsrbor of Dreams-Come- True. After
riding the storm in vain for nearly
two decades they are once more
champions of the world.
Sixteen years ago this bracing au-
tumn young pitcher by the name
Of tChristy Mathewson, with the help
Of a seamy veteran known as Iron
Nan McGinnitv, carried the Giants
into the purple throne room of the
ganle over the PROSTATE forms Of the
ubiugated Athletics. Mathewson,
McGinnity, Donlin. Bowerman, Bres-
nahan, McGann, Gilbert and Dahlen
have long since been only gray, al
most forgotten ghosts stalking old
memories up and down the dim cor
ridors Of Time.
For sixteen seasons since that ancient
date McGraw and his ball clubs, adrift
IN the fogs, have been hunting for the
lost road tha. led again to the winners
end. Four times since they fought
their way into the big October joust,
only to feel the crushing power Of con-
cuering bats.
But to-day they are back in the clover
again, for the fifth time was the charm.
They hurdled the last barricade yester-
dEy afternoon by beating the Yankees
ior the third successive afternoon as
young Waite Hoyt toppled to 10 de-

Wirth Speaks to Americans

BERLIN, Oct. IS (By The Associated
Press ).-Chancell Wirth at a spe-
cially convened meeting Of American
newspaper correspondents in Berlin
to day, explained the situation facing
Germany IN consequence of the recent
decision of the Council of the
League Of Nations respecting Upper
Silcsia.
Speaking with considerable feeling.
the Chancellor described the decision
as a European calamity and as an act
which the whole German nation felt
was d tremendous miscarriage of JUS
tcc and calculated to jeopardze Ger
many's policy, heretofore followed of
honestly fulfilling her engagements to
the Allies.
The Chancellor said he would not de-
sert his Office in this difficult hour,
but that the fate of the present gov
ernment lay with the Reichstag.
He declared the press reports of the
leagues decision had caused such a
storm OF excitement throughout the
country that the situation might be
called critical. Resentment was deep
and genuine and extended TO all par
ties. The decision could only be de-
scribcd as appalling.
Recalling that Beuthcn and Koenig-
shuettc and Kattowitz had voted Ger
man by approximately rs to S5 per
cent, the Chancellor declared that if
these towns were handed over to
Poland it would be resented through :
out Germany IS a gross injustice. The
German people We're rcconciied to los
ing some territory where a Polish ma
jority had been clearly established,
but the loss Of these townships would
come as Il terrible disappointment

BERLIN, Oct. 13.-German volun-
teers gathered in Upper and Lower ST.
lcsia have obtained large supplies of
arms and ammunition and will seize
that part of Upper Silesia reported al
lotted to Poland by the League of Ma
tions rather than permit single inch
OF Upper Silesia ground to be occupied
by Poland according to statements of
German officers arriving in Berlin from
the disputed territory.
The Oberland Free Corps has been
recruiting in Silesia for several months
in preparation for such eventualities 8
as have come through the leagues re-
ported decision. 1t now threatens to
follow the footsteps of Zelligowski,
D'Annunzio and the Burgenland ad
venturists, seize the disputed district
and fight to the last against it's separa-
tlon from Germany
Threaten to Ruin District
Whether the corps leaders will carry
out their threats remains to be seen,
but officers reaching here are talking
freely of their plans. They say the
Germans i'll Upper Silesa would rather
smash the entire industrial structure
OF the region than prmit it to fall into
the hands of the Poles.
The seriousness of the situation is
emphasized in a statement issued by
Chancellor Wirth last night, after an
all-day Cabinet session. This state
ment said that an attempt to carry
out the Allied big Fours" decision as
reported in dispatches from Geneva
would be followed by grave disorders
and disturbances
Great excitement prevailed to- day in
parliamentary circles as the Chancellor
prepared to confer with party leaders
upon immediate convocacion OF the
Reichstag, which is now expected Oc-
tober 20 or 21, about two weeks before
it's assembly originally was planned.
What the Wirth Cabinet will do in
the event of the confirmation of the
leagues reported decision will be dis
cussed by the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee of the Reichstag on Sunday or
Monday, when Wlrth will appear and
make report. The probability of the
Cabinets resignation now looms large,
although the various coalition parties
have not yet arrived at 81 definite de-
cision. Only the organs of both So
cialist parties, the majority and the in
dependents, assert that the Cabinet
must stick to its post, no matter what
happens.

the sacrifices they made and the
home ties that were broken. I talked
with the men who came here to
Devens from Portland and from the
other parts of Maine. I talked with
their wives. their sisters. their sweet
hearts, and with their mothers and
their fathers, and | know how many
hearts were saddened when these
men marched away to take the train.
Camp Devens will always be remen1-
bered by the present generation of
Maine men.
When the state of Maine voted to
pay a bonus to its service men we
thought that if We provided for 30
coo men We would be on the safe side
and so 100000 was appropriated
for the bonus. AS matter of fla ct
the State of Maine sent more than
5 600 men into the service and did

sand would be multiplied at least 100
times.
Frederick L. Allen. secretary of the
Harvard University Corporation pro-
duced some figures of his own from
the Harvard records. He said:
I MIR Ricker's assertion would seem
at first reading to give the impression
that college students have on the
average less than one child apiece.
This is not so among Harvard grad
yates at any rate. Among the classes
ISS1-90 at Harvard the last 10 classes
whose , statistics are available and
may be considered fairly complete. the
average number of men per class was
24S, of whom 1873 married and had 372
children, an average of 2.06 children
per married graduate, or 1.55 children
per capita for the whole class. The
Yale figures for the same period are
similar The birthrate among Har-
ward graduates declined during the
past half century. The decline, how
ever. was less sharp in the class be
tween 1870 and 1890 than it had been
previously; and a situation which is
disquieting at best, seems thus to he
showing a gradual tendency to right
itself.
No figures on the subject are avail
able for Wellesley College. but Presi-
dent Ellen S. Pendleton gives it as her
impression that as far as the alumnae
of Wellesley are concerned, the num-
Der of marriages and the number of
children per marriage have increased
rather than decreased as the years
have gone by. Some 20 or more
years ago." said Miss Pendleton. 1.-The
Association of Collegiate Alumnae
gathered quite elaborate statistics
comparing the health number of
marriages and number of children
per marriage of college women with
similar statistics of their sisters who
did not go TO college or their cousins
nearest their age. These statistics
showed that there was very slight diff
ferences between the two classes, but
such difference as there was, was in IA
vor of the college bred women, and as
| have said while we have no recent
figures my impression is that there
are more marriages and more children
per marriage in these later years.
mo one denies that college women
marry later in life than non-college
women and consequently any Stats
tres that are made up on the basis of
women not more than five years out of
college would give an entirely wrong
impression. [ suspect that the same
thing would be true of college men,
An article for the Smith Alumnae
Quarterly and based on The Quin-
quennial Catalogue Of 1915 is offered
as the latest available information re-
gardng the graduates of Smith Col
1ege and their children. This gave the
average number of children for each
of the total number of alumnae (5962.
with the class of 1915 omitted) as Sc.
The average of children for each
marriage in the classes numbered 20
to 50 was els. This decreased with
later classes until the average for
each marriage from 1879 mp to 1915
was only 1874. The compiler. Flor
encc Homer Snow, of the class of 1904
suggests that if tho figures seem
small arguments for the defence in
cludc the facts that the Youngest
classes arc the largest and that many
college women marry late so that the
figures regarding them arc not avail
able until they have been many years
out of college.
