SON: DODGERS TAKE FIFTH
STRAIGHT GAME
Especial to The Citizen,

NEW YORK, April 26.-Chi-
cago Cubs were rejoicing today
as they contemplated a return to
form of their problem pitcher,
Dizzy Dean, who turned in a
whale of five-hit performance
against the champion Cincinnati
Reds yesterday and won his first
game of the current season, 4
to 2.
Paul Derringer was the losing
pitcher. Usually hard one to
solve, he proved easy yesterday
in allowing the Cubs IL hits. The
loss was the first for Cincinnati
this season.
Brooklyn Dodgers kept up
their hot pace in the senior cir
cult with their fifth victory in a
row, this at the expense of the
Philadelphia Phillies. Score was
3 to /. Hugh Casey's five-hit
pitching was enough to hold the
Phils in check and to keep his
team in first place, the only club
in both circuits without a loss
this season.
A slugfest featured the en-
counter between St. Louis Car
dinals and Pittsburgh Pirates
the former coming out victorious
by the~seore of 10 to 9. A late
Buc rally was snuffed out when
the tying run was on third base
and the winning run on first.
New York Giants made it
three in a row with a win over
the Boston Bees yesterday by
the lopsided score of 8 to /. Bill
Lohrman held the Bees to six
hits. Burgess Whitehead hit a
homer for the vietors.
In the American League, Bob
Feller, of first-game no-hit fame.
turned in his second victory of
the season as he held the Chicago
White Sox to eight scattered
hits, the while Cleveland team
mates were scoring three runs on
homers by Rollie Hemsley and
Jeff Heath. Score: 3 to !.
At ST. Louis, the Detroit Tigers
turned on steam in the eighth
and ninth innings of their game
with the Browns to snatch vic
tory with a final count of 4 to 2.
A our-bagger by Pinky Higgins
in the eighth with Rudy York on
base produced two runs in the
eighth and Charley Gehringer
singled to bring in another mark
er in the final stanza.
Washington Senators staged a
mighty ninth-inning rally to edge
out the Philadelphia Athletics
yesterday. Outfie1der Gerald
Walker doubled in that inning
when the bases were jamned,
and three runs, including the
winning tally, scored. Before the
stanza opened, the Mats were

between the German northern and
southern armies.
CD While this attack was going
through the southern wing was sim
ply to hold. When the first phase
was completed the roles of the two
wings were to be reversed. e., the
northern wing was to hold while
the southern wing, reinforced to
100000 men, was to pivot on Ver-
dun, march north and place itself
between the main German force
and the Rhine.
The first phase was successfully
carried out and the Germans sur
rendered on November II to avoid
the second phase offensive which
had been scheduled for November
IA. Had the entire maneuver been
completed the main body of the
German Army would have been
caught between the two allied wings
operating like scissors whose full
crun was at Verdun.
Unity of Command.
The success of the allies in the
first battle of the Marine and in the
closing campaign of 1918 was basic
ally due to the fact that on those
two occasions, four years apart,
there was unity of command. In
the first Marine the British COM
mander in chief, Marshal French,
by direction Of his government, ac-
ceded to the plan of Marshal Joffre
for that occasion-moreover, the
British force was at that time only
about one-twentieth of the French
Army. In the closing campaign of
1918 Marshal Foch was definitely
invested with the unified command.
The allies have prof1ted by the les
sons Of those three and q half futile
years of headless, unco-ordinated,
sanguinary effort and have begun
the present war with q thorough
application of the principle Of unity
of command.

Of Marshall Petain as vice Premier

well lost control of the situation
and the armies of his marching
wing were moving with little CO.
ordination away from Paris and
straight into the pocket between
the fortiflcations of Paris and Ver-
dun, where the French high COM
mand was preparing counter
offensive. In this pocket, between
September 6 and 10, 1914, the ex-
cellent German armies were driven
from the field of the Marne by the
allied armies whose high command
had been able to control and direct
their unified action under a plan,
curiously enough, about the same
as that of Schlieffen.
The French Maneuver, 1914.
The initial French plan and op-
Grafton supposed the respect of the
Belgian and Luxembourg frontiers.
It was a divided and unsuccessful
effort northeastward to the north
and south of the Metz-Thionville
fortified region and was aimed at
Germanys Rhine communications
The German success against the
French attack south of Metz, in
Alsace, caused Moltke to make the
fatal error Of changing the original
Schheffen plan to the double at
tack on both French flanks.
About August IA, from documents
captured by the French cavalry,
Joffre knew of the initial German
maneuver and at once changed his
plan to a withdrawal of his main
force to the line between the forti-
fed areas Of Paris and Verdun, with
decision to counterattack from that
line. Concurrently he formed an
army (the 9Th, Gen. Maunoury)
to the west of Paris to attack the
German right flank in conjunction
with the frontal attack along the
Marne.
The plan Of this operation was
about the same as the original
Schneffen plan, i.e., frontal sweep
ing attack pivoting upon approx
mately the same region selected by
the Schlieffen plan for that purpose,
Allu tO1 lllAS AlC 1Cluldll IlSllU
flank in about the same place as
had been intended by Schlieffen for
the corresponding movement against
the French left flank.
The success Of the French counter
offensive in the first battle of the
Marne seems a rather clear vindica-
ton Of the original Schlieffen Plan.
At all events, history records that
between September and September
10, 1914, Germany lost the first phase
of the World War, and to all intents
and purposes this war itself.
Second Battle Of the Marine, 1918.
Twenty-Five years ago in March,
1918, the issue Of the World War

Jolted by Weather.
Last year Japan had a drought.
1t knocked the very watts out of
the vital Japanese hydro electric
power system. A coal shortage
caused householders to turn their
charcoal braziers into central heat
ing plants.
Then came that same blizzardy
spring which swept America. Latest
reports say it has put the blight of
frost on Japan's important crops.
Latest Government information is
that the Japanese silk crop may
be affected as much as 80 per cent
by the spring freezes.
This much of it is truth and 7
can give you the figures If you are
mathematically minded. For ex-
ample, the general retail price index
is 58.l per cent above the June, 1887,
level. The wage index for March
was only up 14.7 per cent in the last
year. The munitions industry,
which employs comparatively
small percentage of the population,
accounted for a lot of that. Spring
estimates indicate subnormal crops
of wheat, barley and rye. There's a
general trend toward imitation, a
significant decline in the absorption
of national bonds, an increase of so
per cent in the national debt,
much heavier tax burden, a mount
ing shortage in nearly all commodi-
ties, decline in labor efficiency.

low wages, over the wage favoritism
shown munition workers, over the

propaganda lies intended to bolster
