New York, Oct. S-(P1-The record
breaking battle of east and west for
the 1926 worlds baseball champion
ship, again in New York, finds the
Yanks holding the whip hand over
the Cards.
The Yanks taking two out OF three
games from the Cardinals in St
Louis, gave the invaders a 81 lead
and primed them to clinch the series,
with its major share of gold and
glory, in the sixth game tomorrow.
1t also made the Cards fighting
mad, a group determined to make it
a battle to the finish
Grover Cleveland Alexander, the
80 year old veteran who checked the
Yanks last Sunday, will take the fir
ing line for the National League
champions tomorrow at the Yankee
Stadium, rested and determined to
make his come back complete with
another victory. 1t seems likely, that
he will be opposed by Bob Shawkey,
seasoned right handler of the Yankee
brigade.
Alexander and Shawkey both for
merly wore Philadelphia uniforms
and both came to the clubs they now
represent by the waiver route, gen.
orally regarded as a step on the
downward path. "Aleck" came to the
Cardinals late in the season as a Cub
discard while Bob the Cob" became

for small price. Yet tomorrow
these two oldtimers, as baseball men
go, will carry the main burden with

the player pool.
1t may be that Shawkey will yield

talk BEFORE SERVICE
CLUBS OF TWIN CITIES

Lewiston, Oct. S-Former Governor
Percival z. Baxter of Portland, was
the main speaker here today at a
joint meeting of the service clubs of
Lewiston and Auburn and of the sec
retaries of the Chamber of Commerce
of the towns and cities of Maine.
After voicing his pleasure in being
present and a word of praise for the
work OF the service clubs of the State
he said in part:
What we need in Maine Is more
and better team work, more CO.
operation. There are too many peo-
pie who hold back and criticize the
efforts of those who are attempting
to do something worthwhile. There is
not a community in Maine without
its jealous cllques and groups If we
can brush aside the petty differences
that are retarding US, we shall make
great strides forward
"Those of US who live in Maine
have reason TO be proud of every sec
ton of our State. We take pride in
the splendid industrial developments
along the Androscoggfn River in the
commercial importance of Portland
and Bangor in the wonderful country
of Aroostook, and in the boundless
deep water resources of our shore
counties. There is no section of
Maine without its own particular ad-
vantages. AS for myself l have al
ways looked upon the State as a
single community, and never have
favored the East above the West, nor
the South in preference to the North.
1--WE have our own problems in
Maine and can solve them only
through united action. This can
largely be brought about through the
cooperation of our Service Clubs and
Chambers of Commerce.
Il today desire to especially en-
phasize that Names prosperity to a
large degree depends upon its indus
try and agriculture. In speaking thus
| do not overlook or minimize our
other activities, especially our re-
irrational advantages that mean sc
much to us and which must be sup
ported and fostered. Industry and
agriculture are basic and must be Sc
recognized.
Industry brings population, popu-
latipu requires homes, homes brings
stores and develop trade. Schools
churches. and countless other activl-
ties spring up where people gather
together to live
Conditions in Maine for industry
are ideal. Our laws and our citizens
are fair and just; I am sure Maine
never will enact legislation hostile
to Industrial development. Our peo-
pie are honest and hard working
and we have few or no labor dis
putes. Ample power is available
We cannot. however, bring new in
dustries into Maine merely by wish

Gen. Pershing Sees Need of
Serious Thought in Matter
of National Defence-Cannot
See Logic of Saving Few Mil
lions A Year During Peace if
We Must Spend Billions in
An Emergency to Make Up
Deficiencies

Philadelphia, Oct. S.-(P)-General
John J. Pershing has broke the sill
ence he has maintained for over a
year to publicly sound warning to-
night that the army had been reduc-
ed to a point "below which we can
not go without most serious results"
Speaking before the Military Order
of the World War, the commander Of
the American EXpeditionary Force,
told his one-time soldiers that the
world lis not yet free from jealousy
and covetousness' and the situation
at home and in the future demands
"the maintenance of highly de-
veloped nucleus" for national de-
Tense.
Only a "vociferous minority" is
opposed TO such a program" he as
serted, adding there can be no
earthly justification for saving u few
millions a year on the army during
peace, If, as a consequence, we must
spend many billions in an emergency
in an attempt to make up deticien-
cies.
THE difference between an ade-
quate and inadequate system is not
sufficient to warrant the risk. There
is a point below which we cannot go
without most serious results and we
have reached that point"
The general, departing from a dis
cussion of the army, referred to
what he described as an unusual
condition of lawlessness" throughout
the country.
1T is not to our credit that an I'M
usual condition of lawlessness exists
in our country today" he said.
High handed criminals escape the
law and go UNPUBLISHED. Officials
elected by the people fail in the en-
forcement of law.
How long this will continue de-
ponds entirely on the people them
selves. We may as well be warned of
our fate unless good citizens rise up
and demand a change.
THE busy lives of present day
Americans too often absorb their
thoughts to the exclusion of that
consideration of the obligations of
citizenship upon which a safe and
sound government under which the
constitution rests
The general also appealed to his
audience not to forget that the has-
is of our government is the commu-
nifty" and the citizens ARE directly
responsible for the manner in which
law and order are preserved"

of Minnesota.
For the past six or eight months,
officials of the Railroad & Ware
house Commission. and of the State
Highway Department, accompanied
by officials of the railroads have
been travelling over the state select
ing the most dangerous crossings.
Of the ten thousand Grade Crossings
in Minnesota about one thousand
have been designated to have placed
on one or both sides of them Stop
Signs at which every driver is re-
quired to come to full stop. The
Commissi is grateful for and here
by acknowledges the fine co-opera-
ton given by town and village Off
Gals and by the newspapers of the
state in giving publicity to the law.
Much thought was given to the type
of sign to be used and the one fin
ally agreed upon is similar to the
familiar Minnesota trunk highway
sign, two foot yellow octagon with
the word "Stop" in black letters
across the face. This sign is to be
placed on the present saw buck
crossing sign posts and the law re-
quires full stop by all vehicles.
The law further provides that the
speed of all vehicles approaching
any crossing shall be reduced to
such rate that it can be brought to
full stop in case of necessity be-
fore reaching. the nearest rail of
the railroad track and to cautiously
proceed over said crossing.
Vehicl carrying school children,
explosives or infiamable liquids or
passengers for hire or any truck or
vehicle having in tow any other
vehicle or equipment or any vehicle
of tractor or caterpillar type shall
be brought to complete stop be-
fore crossing railroad tracks.
The purpose of this law is to pro-
tect not only the occupants of auto
mobiles but also passengers on
trains, as trains have been derailed
after collisions at crossings with
considerable loss of life and injury.
This makes the observance of this
law a matter of interest to all who
travel either by automobile or train.
1t you see a sign bearing the
word, Smallpox" you regard the
place as extremely dangerous and
avoid it if possible. and yet less
than 200 persons died of smallpox
in the entire country last year,
while more than $500 were killed
and about 1900 injured at grade
crossings, which the average driver
does not regard as particularly dan
gerous.
