LONDON. October IA sensation
has been caused by letter from An
drew Bonar Law, upholding the Brit
ish skNXsEqNept's attitude in the near
eastefnseFssfs. which Is given con-
spicuous publicity in all the London
newspapers today.
The pronouncement is widely held
to be equivalent to a direct threat to
withdraw the British troops from the
Rhine and completely terminate the
entente unless France comes into line
with the British policy in the near
east.
Bonar Laws position as potential
head Of potential conservative gov
ernment in the near future, and his
intimate relations with several Of the
present cabinet ministers, are re-
garded as giving his view special
weight. Indeed, it is surmised that
the cabinet members. especially
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Colonial Secretary Churchill had
knowledge Of the launching of this
utterance than the moment of For
eign Secretary Curzon's mission to
Paris.

Of the allied powers, which won the
war, and America is one of those
powers.
I'VE cannot alone act as the police

will be to say plainly to France that
if she is not prepared to support us
we shall be unable to bear the bur-
den alone, but we shall have no al
tentative except to initiate the gov
ernment of the United States and re-
strict our attention to safeguarding
the more immediate interests of the
empire"
The general opinion of the press
is that the letter is timely and COM
mendable.
The Daily Express says that Bonar

country from war" for which the
British public owes him a deep debt
of gratitude.

POLO GROUNDS. NEW YORK. Oc-

in the dark hollows of the Polo
Grounds this afternoon when the
Yankees met the Giants in the fourth
game of the world series, while Old
Man Gloom sat in the clubhouse of
the Yanks, who were reeling under
aggressive National League cham
pions.
The American Leaguers were the
home folks today and gave funeral
welcome to the Giants, who planned
to make it three straight over their
hapless foemen.

ponent of the bottle bat, land we will

were supposed to have a five-starred
pitching staff, but 1 have not seen
it yet
The drizzle turned to rain shortly
before / o'clock and the crowd in the
bleachers raised their umbrellas,
while others sat beneath outspread
newspapers which they held over
their heads. Only the brass band
piped it's merriest tunes to dispel
the gloom of the sodden day.
The groundkeepers had removed the
canvass mats from the base paths.
and near 1 o'clock the Yanks came
upon the field, while the band played
Hail, Hail the Gangs All Here"
Yanks Take Field.
The bleachers were nearly filled
an hour before game time. and the
spectators were still passing through
the turnstiles. The upper reserved
stands showed few vacant seats.
The Yanks went at their batting
practice with vim. Llewellyn shot up
some looping curves and some fast
ones for the homefolks to try out
their batting eyes which had appar-
emily failed them during the series.
Carl Mays. wrapped in a heavy sweat
er, took part in the practice.
Manager Higgins figured on Carl
Mays to subdue the Giants with his
submarine ball.
Mays can pitch good enough ball
to win," said Higgins, but our fell
lows have not seemed to bat behind
him this year. Still they don't appear
to be batting behind any of our pitch
ers now"
